Speaker 1 (00:00):
See, it's time now for you to take us out
with your fabulous enlightening closing remarks. What you got? You know,
I think I decided to do something a little bit
different today. I want to give you a bullet point
list of things to consider on your journey. I want

(00:26):
to give you some bullet points to protect yourself as
you're climbing the letter to success. These bullet points are
things that all of us will can and have experienced,
and they come over and over and over at different levels,

(00:48):
in different times. Now, the things I'm about to share
with you are not the only things, and I don't
have them in any particular order. I just wanted to
share with you. These are what I call dream crushes.

(01:09):
I can't tell you how many people I know who
have had wonderful aspirations and dreams and got started and
they allowed these dreams to get crushed. And I know
a lot of them. Now. I'm not gonna name all
of them, but I am gonna name some of them,
and I want you all to think about them as
I list them, so you can be on guard for them,

(01:31):
because they are coming. Oh don't you think for one
moment that they are not coming. These are some of
the dream crushes that you'll encounter. The first one I
simply call background chatter. Somehow, when you're on your way,

(01:55):
you hear the murmuring in the crowd, You hear the
nation says. You just hear this constantly. Here he comes, here,
she come again. Oh, hey, how you doing? Oh? Here
he come with that old crazy man. Have you seen
what he thought he was gonna be? Anybody y'all seeing

(02:15):
his dream board? It's so crazy. Hey, how you doing? Man?
That's all right. And you hear stuff like this, I
call it background chatter. It can be very very rough
if you get it on a constant basis. Those are
one of the dream crushers. Be very very careful. Here's

(02:37):
another dream dream crusher comparisons to others. See when you
building your house, when you're building your road, when you're
building your building, don't look across the street at the
other house, the other structure, and the other building. First
of all, you don't know what's under the foundation of

(02:59):
what a here's to be a grand building. Now you
trying to build your solid on a great foundation, rock
by rock, level by level. But you're looking over there
and somebody halfway up with a skyride, and you try
to figure out why it's taking you so long. You
don't even know that they done built that on sand.
You don't even know that there's no flooring behind it,
that it ain't nothing but a shell. Be careful of

(03:22):
comparing your building to others, because what you see cross
the street might not be the same. Those are dream crushes.
Here's another one, a well timed set back. Right when
you think things are going along, all of a sudden,
something just pops up. You know what that is. It's
called life. It just surfaces. It's surfaces for all of us, y'all.

(03:43):
It's just life. It's nothing aimed directly at you. It's not,
but it's not resigned and particularly your situation. Everybody got
them well time setbacks, crushed dreams all the time. Be
ready because in twenty twenty that will be some Here's
another one. I want you to be careful, love, watch

(04:03):
out for statistics. Statistics were designed by people who were
failing to justify their failure. One out of every four hundred,
you know, only two in a million. Ever, get I
wouldn't play that lotto because the only person to hear
this today, say, is one in two hundred and eighty
five million chances. Statistics stop so many people because they

(04:28):
keep putting yourself in the one. You either put yourself
in the one, or you put yourself in the group.
You know, one out of every two thousand comedians make
it on the Johnny Carson Show. That was the stat
I heard way back when I got started, man only one.
And if people started looking at themselves as the one
nine hundred and ninety nine, now you know what I did.

(04:49):
I looked at myself as just the one. That statistics
are dream crushes. Here's another one right here. Social media comments.
Beware those people don't know you. They really don't. They
know nothing about you. Matter of fact, they only have
one design in mind, and that is to discourage you.
Social Media comments are a big dream crusher. Be careful

(05:11):
of Facebook. Everybody want to be your friend, ain't your friend?
Watch out. It could be a possible dream crusher. On Facebook.
You didn't get no likes, you didn't get no comment,
they didn't befriend you, they didn't like your picture, they
didn't tell you about it. Everybody got to notice about
the party. But you dream crushes, be very careful. Here's

(05:34):
another one. Stop talking to small minded people. They are
dangerous dream crushers. If you want to kill a big dream,
tell it to a small minded person. Be very careful.
Uh oh, here's another one that's a dream crusher. They're
called fair weather friends. Sometimes they good with you, sometimes
they ain't. They just friendly when it's sunny, but when

(05:55):
it get dark and gloomy outside, you can't find them.
They are potential dream ushers. Get rid of them very quickly.
Well meaning relatives, oh oh, one of the greatest dream
crushes of all time. Well meaning relatives, Be careful, because
all your relatives don't really don't mean well. Sorry, they
are dream crushes at last, but not least yourself. Don't

(06:22):
let yourself be your biggest dream crushing with things that
ain't going right. Pray about it all right, You have
