Speaker 1 (00:00):
And we have our one and only, fearless leader, our
captain to take us home with some closing remarks to
get us through the day.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Steve, 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 to give you some bullet points to protect yourself
as you're climbing the letter to success. These bullet points
(00:32):
are things that all of us will can and have experienced,
and they come over and over and over at different
levels 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
(00:54):
to share them with you. These are what I call
dream crushes. 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.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
And I know a lot of them now.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Only 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 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.
(01:35):
The first one I simply call background chatter. Somehow, when
you're on your way, you hear the murmuring in the crowd,
You hear the naysayers.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
You just hear it this constantly. Here here she come again. Oh, hey,
how you doing? Oh?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Here he come with that old crazy man. Have you
seen what he thought he was going to be? Anybody
y'all seeing his dream?
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Boyd? It's so crazy. Hey, how you doing?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Man?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
That's all right.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
M 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 another dream
dream crusher comparisons to others. See when you're building your house,
(02:31):
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 what appears to
be a grand building. Now you trying to build your
solid on the great foundation, rock by rock, level by level,
(02:54):
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 you don't even know that
they done built that on saying you don't even know
that there's no flooring behind it, that it ain't nothing
but a shell. Be careful of comparing your building to others,
because what you see across the street might not be
the same. Those are dream crushes. Here's another one, a
(03:17):
well timed setback. 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. 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 timed setbacks,
(03:41):
crushed dreams all the time. Be ready because there will
be some. Here's another one. I want you to be careful, love,
watch 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. Forget,
I wouldn't play that lotto because the only person to
(04:03):
hear is today say is one in two hundred and
eighty five million chances. Statistics stop so many people because
they 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.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
That was the stat I heard way back when I
got started. Man only one.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
And if people started looking at themselves as the one
nine hundred and ninety nine, now you know what I did.
I looked at myself as just the one. Net statistics
are dream crushers. 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 had
(04:47):
one design in mind, and that is to discourage you.
Social media comments are a big dream crusher. Be careful
of Facebook. Everybody wanting 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
(05:08):
didn't tell you about it. Everybody got to notice about
the party. But you dream crushes. Be very careful. Here's
another one. Stop talking to small minded people. They are
dangerous dream crushes. 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
(05:29):
called fair weather friends. Sometimes they good with you, sometimes
they ain't. They just friendly when it's sunny, but when
it get dark and gloomy outside, you can't find them.
They are potential dream crushers. Get rid of them very quickly.
Well meaning relatives, uh oh, one of the greatest dream
crushes of all time. Well meaning relatives, Be careful, because
(05:50):
all your relatives really don't mean well. Sorry, they are
dream crushers. At last, but not least yourself. Don't let
yourself be your biggest dream crusher. When things ain't going right,
pray about it, get it turned around. Those are my
closing remarks. But beware of the dream crushes.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
All right, Mike, I love profound.
