Yo, what's up people? I'm your host Jay Will and I would like to welcome you to inspire guys people where we balance faith and business to guide you to your purpose. This is episode two 22 five reasons why Five reasons why you are not successful five reasons why you're not successful. We're gonna talk about it today Look, I'm gonna just kick it with you.
These ain't the only five reasons you feel what I'm saying But look here's the thing I realize in life man a lot of times people are stuck in this place where they want to be successful They see success you see other people being successful and you just keep asking yourself Like why am I not taking the jump? Why can't I get to that next level? Why can't I get that? You know house that car why can't I have a good marriage and we don't talk through like five reasons why I believe you know You may not be successful five things that may be holding you back from your own goal.
So let's get right into it Let me tell you this first things first a lot of times man We in our own way like that's just really what it is and you know We can blame other people we can you know We can think that is the man stopping us or something like that But a lot of times you in your own way and it's not until you kind of look in the mirror You know I'm saying and take that accountability and say like where can I get better that you actually start having some success So today is about getting each other. It's about me and you looking in the mirror This ain't about where this ain't about your haters. Let's deal with that off the top I know that like stuff about haters gets a lot of attention if a preacher You know preacher message about the haters they gonna get a bunch of a man's and stuff Well, why is that the reality of it is most of us don't want to think it's us like I don't want to think it's me You know what I'm saying? Because like I'm me, you know We we all want to see ourselves in the best light But the reality of it is that might be what's stopping you from getting to where you want to go Because the reality is nobody can stop you from you.
I heard Napoleon Hill say this in one of his lectures He said and this was like oh no, this this had to be from like 60 years I don't even know what you know what let me not let me not put a year on it It was from a long time ago But Napoleon Hill said that you know the only limitation that can be put on you is the limitation that you put on yourself And I believe that like I genuinely believe that most of us actually walk around in life every day putting limitations on ourselves And then blaming other people for for you know our lack of or I can talk I can't talk our inability to succeed So let's get into the number one reason not not the number one, you know These ain't no particular order right and he's like the only reasons but I'm giving you five reasons So let's get to reason number one that I'm gonna discuss today and that is distractions When you think about why you're not being successful Distractions is one of the top things standing in your own way. Excuse me now. Let me tell you the interesting thing about distractions, right? They're interesting to me because a distraction you would think a person has distracted is a person is not focused But that's not the case a person that's distracted is a person that is focused on the wrong thing So some of us are super focused on the wrong thing.
I'm gonna give an example. You ever like okay Let's say he was growing up. Let's say he was growing up. This don't happen now But like you get to church and soon as you get there you get sleepy Hmm.
Oh my goodness. Oh my god. I'm sorry like read a book you get tired But then if it's time to what you know watch a watch the summer war show on TV You got all the energy in the world right time to go, you know play around or whatever waste time You got all the energy in the world to be on Facebook Some of us could be on Facebook scrolling for three hours You know what I'm saying? But if it's a book or something educational or something to better ourselves or reading the Bible It's like I think I'm tired so let me tell you why I think distractions are you know a big thing is something that we should all be Kind of concerned with it's cuz in the world that we live in today like dog is just so many options I'm gonna tell you you ever go to a restaurant.
They got too much stuff on the menu Like one thing I don't like is if you got like burger in your name, right? I ain't really trying to come to your spot to try pizza and fish and other stuff Or if you got peace in your name, I really don't mess with nothing else outside and maybe potentially some wings You feel me? I can't stand when I go to a restaurant And that's a hundred and fifty things on the menu Why because I feel like if you make it trying to make a hundred and fifty things you might make a hundred and fifty things good But which one is the great one like I'll tell you some restaurants got like you go to some restaurants They got four five things on the menu I trust that restaurant because you know what that says to me these people so bold and they so focus on these four items that they Bought to make these the best way possible. What is my point?
Some of us are distracted because in our lives we got too much stuff on the menu I feel what I'm saying too much stuff on the menu mean it you don't know what you want to be you don't know what you want to do You get you turn on the TV or you get on social media and you following everything from your favorite pastor to your favorite Instagram model to your favorite comedian and you get on and you start consuming all this content and And it's a little bit everything fam, but then the question is like who are you? What are you trying to do? What is your purpose here? Some of us don't know the answer to that question because we got too much stuff on the menu We distracted we taking a little bit of what he said a little bit of what she said and the problem What it is is that with these people saying don't even add up to the same thing So I'm of the belief right that you know not in the sense that you're not open-minded right in diverse and thought and being able to kind of Like understand different angles or opinions.
That's not what I'm saying But I am saying I do think it's some boundaries to how much different information am I consuming and allowing to shape how I think you get what I'm Saying because at the end of the day like if I say I'm a Christian if I say alright I want to live for the Lord I'm a believer I'm going after my purpose to inspire guys people right then to me the things that I'm consuming and the time that I'm putting into Things really should be all complimenting what I said I want to be become who I say I am you feel me but the problem is if I'm like alright my purpose is to inspire guys people I'm trying to live for the Lord do a B and C and then I get on Instagram and I spend three and a half hours, you know watching You know, I'm not even gonna get an example. Just say watching something Let's just say I'm watching something wild. Let's put it that way, right? If I'm three and a half hours watching some crazy stuff then the thing is I ain't even trying to say whether that's a sin or not It's just not productive to my purpose.
I'm distracted Remember we talking about a person or some people that feel like we can't get ahead in life And that we can't move forward and I'm just trying to tell you one of the first things you need to do It's simplify and focus on the right things Make sure that the time that we spend it's time being spent on things that do what we said We want them to do for us you get what I'm saying the one wonderful thing about it to me is like Once you understand your purpose once you align on your goals and who you trying to become like you got to write this stuff down It got to be a target. You feel what I'm saying? It can't be something that you just kind of wake up and just like I said I wanted to let's just let's be specific. All right.
Let's say you said Let's make it about money. It's the year of death to poverty for me. So I like talking about money I know some people don't like talking about money. I do healthy conversations about money are great So let's say you got to go to say $10,000, right?
You got to go to save $10,000 Well, that's a target. That's something specific the reason you need to be specific because some of us What we doing is we saying I want to save money and it's like what that mean? Right, what do it mean to want to save money? How much like like we all have different amounts of what's a lot?
What's a little what matters like your situation? What are your goals? So you say you want to say $10,000. That's a specific goal now.
You got a target Well, if you say you want to say $10,000 and let's say today you got $0 in the bank, right? Well, to me the first thing you need to do Let's say okay, let's say you get three weeks into this goal of like I want to say $10,000 And then you don't have a bank account yet and it's like oh So what you gonna say in the piggy bank? You're gonna put it under the bed in the mattress like what you gonna do You get what I'm saying? Like sometimes we haven't even lined up like the most simple part of what we said We wanted to do we haven't done the most simple thing.
So you need a bank account What's your timeline? Like how long are you gonna wait to get to the 10,000? This the timeline keeps you accountable So let's say you say I want to say 10,000 in 12 months. Okay, now we're getting somewhere now We know that you got to save a little less than a thousand dollars you get what I'm saying a month Right because it's 12 months You got to save a little less than a thousand dollars a month to get to your $10,000 now If you get some one three and you don't have $2,000 then you know you're behind and you can track it What's my point with all of this in order to be focused you got to get detailed like this you can't necessarily you might you can't get on Your phone every day and you know be watching videos just ha kick it kick it cackling some people like all this comedy all these little clips 15 the 15 second clip 15 second clip Look I'm cool with the clips if the clips are producing progress towards your purpose because that's the other thing It's just as many finance clips out there that you could be looking at but you looking at you know And I ain't trying to come in nobody's hours But it's like you looking at all the comedy stupid clips you looking at clips of somebody tripping down the stairs bro And you only got two hundred dollars after two months and you said your goal is 2000 my point is Once you set a target and once you have a goal and you have a deadline a timeline that you're working against then now You need to be utilizing every day within the boundaries of that timeline to get where you want to go and these distractions are actually holding you back From what you said you want to do You feel what I'm saying?
What up J. Really? What up bro? You said you wanted 10,000 out not me.
This is why I love go I'm a fan of like every four years on the vision board or something like that So I'm due for one because what happens is one thing about my goals is that it's a contract that I have with myself So I can't like blame nobody else for my goals I can't say set a goal today and in six months later say that ain't even important like whatever I see what happens in life This is why I don't like to tell people what to go after because if I tell you that you know $20,000 should be your goal you might be a person to say you know I don't need money and that okay great cool. No problem. What is your goal then you need to be targeting something Maybe your goal is read 26 books this year But then what are you gonna do with the books my point is simple have a goal set a target create a timeline Hold yourself accountable and in order to do that the first thing you're gonna need to do in order to become successful is eliminate Distractions. All right.
What's number two? Oh, this is a good one pride. Oh, man pride is stopping a lot of us from hitting success Dot. Why do I say this?
What do I mean by pride? It's a lot of things I can mean But one of the things that I thought of is some people can't receive a good message from a person They don't like I don't have to like you to learn from you, Dot That's the thing about me like I can learn from anyone There are people that I don't like just like people don't like me right vice versa But if I put it like this you ever need a direction is like maybe not now But I remember growing up a little bit like maybe I was in the car my grandma or something like let's say we going somewhere It is like I'm young this before and anybody had no Google Maps and all that You might have to get directions from somebody you might have to pull up on the stranger and be like hey, bro How you get the you know such a such and the first thing a person would do is um Yeah, you want to go down there and right next to the Burger King now. Here's the thing Do I care if that person is alcoholic do I care if that person is a we hit do I care if they got a college degree? Do I care?
I might not care if they breath think if I'm lost in there giving me the directions to go where I need to go All I care about is the message at the time. All right, you feel what I'm saying? Let me make distractions number one now this pride thing a lot of us Let's say if you out there and you like I don't really like J will I don't like I'm like oh it's something about him I don't like he he rubbed me the wrong way. You know I'm saying I rub certain people the wrong way It's possible.
I'm not perfect right so let's say if you don't know me. I mean if you don't like me So then you like I'm even trying to hear these five reasons, but then you still stuck though See here's my advice is maybe you don't like me and you like maybe you just like I'm just listening I ain't gonna like the video though And I'm definitely not subscribing to inspire guys people on YouTube for sure I'm not gonna watch these daily clips he put out but I am gonna learn from him I wouldn't even be mad at you fam because at the end of the day Some of us are focusing on all these little personal things like we live in a world where everybody's so proud for they take everything So personal you can't even tell somebody the truth to help them because everybody's looking for an angle to be offended I have never in my life lived in a world and seen a world especially in the digital world I've never seen so many people that seem like they're genuinely looking for opportunities to be offended Like it's interesting to me sometimes I post stuff and I look in my comments or something And I'm like what is this person talking about like you had to want to be mad in order to be offended by this 15 second clip I just put out but what's my point some of us are so prideful We're just looking for a reason to not receive the truth because as long as we don't receive the truth about our own condition in our situation Then we don't have to do nothing about it. So we are way too prideful to hear the truth that will cause us to change right? The truth sets us free right that that's what salvation is about That's what the gospel of Jesus Christ is about you receive the truth.
It sets you free you repent in turn from your own ways Well, if I had to repent from something right in order to repent I have to deny myself and deny yourself is to also deny your pride because most of us don't want to feel like it's something about us They got to change you get what I'm saying. I know this from being married. It's a bunch of times and I'm like bro Like but this is hard for like this y'all for a fan I ain't changing on this one, and you know what later on might have to be like my bad oops my bad father God I repent I was wrong. I should have looked in the mirror, right?
Not not just cuz I'm mad at my wife or I'm feeling some type of way about what she told me But maybe she told me the truth though And maybe I need to get out of my own way So the number two reason that a lot of us are not successful in struggling to find our way is we're cuz we're too prideful to receive the truth We're too prideful to hear the truth. I remember it. I wish I should have looked this up in the Bible before I started this podcast There's a point in Jesus's life where he went back to where he was from to preach and speak to them And they couldn't receive it because they was just like, oh, that's just Jesus. That's Joseph and Mary son Like why would I listen to him?
That's pride a lot of people they knew you from a particular point in your life and You might have grown tremendously. You might have changed evolve whatever it is, right? But to those people they still remember you from the last time they saw you or knew you so you can come in here Jay will tell much you inspiring guys people and you know, you trying to death the poverty death the laziness You could talk all this stuff But I remember you from 10th grade fam And so I can't receive the truth from somebody who in 10th grade was the class clown And that's how I work sometimes what up, Johnny way what up, fam? So it's people in your life that remember you from a particular point of your life and those people carry a particular set of pride Cuz they can't hear that from you my point is don't you be that person that is holding on to something that can't hear the truth from somebody Maybe you still don't like them.
That's cool I ain't telling you the like and I like you got to pray about that but at the end of the day, mm You ain't got to like me or completely agree with me about everything I believe in life for something that I'm saying to be the truth Pride number three reason. Oh, this is a good one right here the number three reason why some of us aren't successful struggling to find our way in life Is because of what man? It's gonna hurt laziness death the laziness people This has been something that since 2013 I've been talking about death the laziness Why because I recognize in my own life that laziness was one of the number one factors that would prevent me from reaching my goals Why because laziness is just all about a couple things. Hey, I do what I feel like like an order for me to do something Right, I have to feel like doing it and if I don't feel like doing it.
I'm lazy I'm procrastinating. It's me giving in to my feelings, right? So the first thing I had to realize regarding that is like, okay, everything that I feel like doing ain't necessarily the best thing for me Everything I don't feel like doing Ain't necessarily not the best thing for me So it that means it could be something that I don't feel like doing like working out I don't feel like working out but working out could be the best thing for me And so the problem with us following our emotions and laziness, right? Is that you could be following what's wrong for you?
This is where you start even realizing why do I have to deny myself and follow Jesus because in my flesh like I'm not always right? Right, you ain't right. Come on. Some of us think we always right up.
You ain't always right as a matter of fact Your marriage might change right now If you just walk away from this podcast with that one particular point and say I ain't right like I ain't always right Like I'm gonna tell you like this if you've been in an argument with with a person five times and you think all five times You was right 100% you ain't right. I can promise you right now fam. You ain't right You feel me? What up Felicia?
You feel me like very serious like some of us think we always right now Here's the other thing about laziness right? Not only is laziness about doing what you feel like doing and again How am I gonna become successful if I never feel like doing the things that would bring me success? Let's go back real quick to originally when I said you need to go, right? You need to set a target you need to build a timeline So let's say your timeline is I want to lose ten pounds in the next six months, right?
I can almost I can almost promise you you ain't never gonna feel like doing what it takes ever Never is this thing on is this on you're never gonna feel like it buddy ever So what does that mean? Let's think about this if I set a goal and I want to be successful I'm sitting here telling you I want to lose the ten pounds in six months Well, if that's the case you have to accept from day one I'm never going to feel like doing the things that I need to do in order to lose the pounds I said I want to lose what does that mean? That means in order to be successful I have to accept that I'm gonna have to consistently do things that I don't feel like doing Death to laziness. Oh, you're getting it.
I should have where's my death to laziness at? I really should I don't have a death to laziness out of here I really should have a death to laziness out of here, bro You're literally never going to feel like it So you have to embrace that right? Here's the other part of laziness Lazy people talk more than they take action. You talk more than you take action You give what I'm saying take one action.
You talk more than you take you're never in action mode You're always talking you got the script right? So let's just say again. I read in a book about five Maybe six seven years ago. Um, this was a book about it was a from a neural sciences about how your brain works And I remember reading in that book and it was like your brain actually doesn't know the difference between talking about something and actually doing it So your brain received the same satisfaction from talking about a goal and constantly like if I like let's say if I tell you Yeah, man.
Um, yeah, you know, I'm about to buy a yacht like yeah, we gonna get this yacht Yeah, we gonna get this yacht. Yeah, and I keep saying that my brain doesn't Necessarily know the difference in how it reacts to me talking about something that I want and actually obtaining it So that means your brain releases certain dopamine's because you like let's be real you get excited talking about your goals This is why you should be careful about sharing your goals. That's that's something. This is that's extra this extra credit I'm giving you extra sauce right now.
Don't tell everybody your dreams. All right, you got to protect that Why number one you got to protect it from yourself because you're gonna you're gonna be talking so much that you're not gonna be doing Nothing and it feels good to talk y'all come on man. Let's be real it feels so good to talk you ever be tons of Yeah, man I'm about to yeah, so we gonna get the yacht and we you know, we getting the other crib you feel me we getting the other crib No dial no you're feeling good in that conversation your brain feel good and you ain't bein nothing. I know y'all bro Yup You don't even have a canoe buddy.
You're barely paying your car note J will and you're going around telling people that you're gonna Get a yacht and your brain is releasing dopamine's because your brain just and so it's tricking you you getting the same feeling chemically in your body from talking about success then Actually having it so you talk more than you take action That's laziness that stopping you from having success. Why I'm gonna be real. It's a lot harder to do the work and shut up Oh my gosh, I'm not telling you to shut up. I'm a nice guy But it's way harder just to be quiet and work in silence.
Why we love telling people what we doing? Come on. Let's just be real. I like it too I want to tell you everything I got going on right now because it's gonna feel good my brain gonna release the dopamine I'm gonna be like man.
We can check out. I feel great I just told them all my goals, but I'm not telling you why I just got to work let my work speak for itself The problem is we doing a lot of talking and if anybody took any type of Did a real diagnostic on you to be like oh half of the time half of the stuff you talking He ain't doing he a talker. He not he not a doer. He don't take action So in order to be successful you have to fall in love with taking action You got a falling love with putting some work behind your faith You get what I'm saying like so it faith without works is dead that works is very important faith without action is dead work is action works Means something have to actually be done in order for you to get there again.
You have a goal I want to I want to buy a house, right? You got to go to buy a house There's some things that it take that need to be done in order for you to buy a house You get what I'm saying? So that's how life work any goal that you have it don't have to be buying something Hey, I have a goal to have a good relationship with my wife. Well, listen here, buddy turn off the video game.
Oh, that's a stinger Turn off the video game dog. You can't say I got this goal to have this Excellent relationship with my wife, but then all you do is work and then after work All you do is play a game. Then you go. How let your boys then you go who you're doing everything Taking action in every other area of life.
There's no action behind the goal of winning a better relationship with your wife Write it down. Oh my god. Something has to be done about it. You can't be lazy Hey, let's go on a date like oh, let's remember Pride, okay You can't be too prideful if you say you want the better relationship But you're proud of stopping you because you want her or like you know husband you want the wife Well, I ain't I ain't gonna take the first step like I need I need her to want to I need her to want to get better first Not gonna work buddy.
You're not gonna be successful. It's not gonna happen So a lot of us again in all these just to relate to any area of your life You say you want a better relationship with your wife you want to have a successful marriage But you're proud of stopping you from being the first one to say something we check that off you distract it Oh, that's a good one right there It's all kind of people in the world social media It's all kind of pages is thought it's enough things to keep you distracted and focus on someone else more than any other time in human History, I just got to believe that that's just a stat that I just made up right here right on the show But I believe that it is so easy to be distracted in a marriage just for man or woman It's a lot of options out here. Everybody cute everybody look good. Everybody half naked It's more than enough options out there too many options on the menu distracted pride You don't want to be the first one to say nothing laziness.
You don't want to put no actions behind your words Laziness is the number three reason that's keeping you from being successful All right, number four this one is gonna lose a couple of followers and subscribers the victim mentality The victim mentality is preventing you from having success. It's holding you back fam Why because what's interesting about the victim mentality to me is that the victim mentality is all about creating excuses now creating is such a powerful Word to create in the beginning God created I would say creating is one of my most favorite words in the world like I love creating Is something that that is the likeness of God right in the beginning? He created we were made in his image and likeness and we have the ability the ability to create like we have the ability to take Something not to create in a way that guy created where he can make something from nothing But we have the ability to create based on all of the somethings He's laid before us So meaning we could take something from Wednesday and create a new state right you could take a two feet of a fabric of cotton and you can make a pair of socks That's creative right so the problem with the victim mentality is that it is misguided create creativity Which means that you create excuses and blame other people and make yourself the victim right all the time now I'm not saying that it ain't sometimes other people fought you feel me you feel me Felicia like like I ain't saying it ain't sometimes They fought but all the time they fought Yeah, there you go get a solution suggesting and immediately say but and that's the whole thing right when you have a victim mentality You can never actually get to the point where you change so you can't become successful because in order to become successful Success in any of these areas is about you becoming better Look the world is on always be messed up You're not gonna change everybody in the world so that person that you don't like over there that person that don't like you over there Like you not gonna change everybody like everybody's not gonna like bow down to your way of thinking so you have to create these boundaries Create this world this mindset that you're gonna follow and you are going to get to your success And in order to get there you're gonna have to look in the mirror instead of looking out the window And so looking out the window blaming everybody else for where you at and all those things and I'm gonna get you nowhere But that's some of our problems feel me some of our problem is that we take more time Excuses about why we're not where we're supposed to go right look this world today, man I hear it all the time as a black person like I don't buy into half of the stuff out here And you got to understand something about the victim mentality right the victim mentality oftentimes take something true right in like Like romanticizes it and makes it something bigger It makes it makes something true that may have came up against them a bigger monster than it really is right and so as an example If we talk about um like races races when it goes I don't want to talk about race I'll just say this about race right people love buying into these Mindsets of you know, you know if you're black or disenfranchised people look don't give me wrong That's why I like talking about this stuff I don't feel like talking about it right now because it's a nuanced and layered conversation I ain't saying it ain't no truth to some of the stuff But what I'm saying to what I'm saying about it is I'm gonna just talk about me as a black person that come from the inner City of Detroit that started off at go we had a good loving family around me But I had to figure out my way towards certain levels of success taking some of those family values learning business and success values and then trying to Implement those things definitely the Bible as a foundation as well. My point is you could tell me yeah You from the inner city you disenfranchised whatever whatever, but that can only last so long for me at some point I'm about to overcome this obstacle at some point I'm at least about to overcome this level because I can hear somebody like oh you can't ever overcome this or whatever I'm literally telling you it's not going to stop me and that is a Victor mindset We are victorious that victim mindset tells you that yo, there's a monster outside and you can't defeat it like you can't beat the monster So just stay in the house.
Oh, man. I got a Bible scripture for you that I bet I bet y'all ain't Man, I got to read the scripture in Proverbs. Where is it at? Proverbs oh Yo, yo, yo, 22 and 13 is that it?
Yeah, let's go to Proverbs 22 and 13 give me one second Y'all I love when a random scripture pops up because again man the word of God is what really like word of God really be having me That's a 22 and 13. Let's see if that's it word of God really be having me. Oh here. Go.
Whoa. Let me share my screen, bro Word of God I had you a man this look you can't you can't read the word of God and I change you do that's on you Proverbs 22 And 13 look at this the lazy person claims There's a lion out there if I go outside. I might be killed listen to that the lazy person claims We're talking about a victim mentality. There's a lion out there if I go outside I might be killed what this scripture is telling you is that lazy people it's funny laziness was our number three reason Victim mindset was our number four reason Proverbs 22 and 13 actually combines the two It's a lazy person that's creating this scenario that there might be a lion outside So if I go outside making themselves a victim I might be cute and what am I saying?
You can never be successful if you don't go outside. Oh my god. There we go Isn't the lingo today you guys are outside I'm outside Everybody else on my day outside you talking about the wrong type of outside you feel what I'm saying? You need to be going outside to conquer your goals to conquer your dreams to live for the Lord to go after your purpose We outside doing kid stuff It's grown people talking about I'm outside.
I mean I you out there. What you doing though fam you feel me? Miss Bridget. How you doing?
No doubt. Love you. Miss you too You feel me though like beer or failure will make you lazy. Oh, I like that one Felicia Beer off a failure will make you lazy listen some of us are so afraid to fail We are so afraid of what might stop us that it keeps us lazy The Bible is literally telling you don't create an excuse that a lion is outside because guess what David was out in the field Tended to his sheep and a lion a bear they did come out there And he had to kill it with his bare hands if it if the weapon forms It won't prosper if you're in the will of God So you can't let the possibility of a weapon that might one day kind of form stop you from walking towards the success that guy Has called you to in your life Number one don't be distracted number two don't be prideful number three don't be lazy number four Don't have a victim mentality have a victim mentality and number five my people.
This is the number five reason that You ain't successful out there if you ain't successful I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but it's due to a lack of literacy and education. All right It's a stinger night time my education like school like you need a degree That ain't what we talking about that could be what we talking about like let's say if you wanted to be a doctor and that and you're not successful You might want to go to school But what I'm talking about is becoming a student of the game whatever you say you want right so like Look again, money is an easy example just to keep it general You know if you say it I want to learn how to trade stock How do these people make all this money trading stock right and you never went to educate yourself off of how people trade stock? You just thought you was gonna figure it out in one day today, and you want to be rich tomorrow One thing I know about people who are not successful is they hate education They hate learning why because learning takes time it takes effort right like you can't be lazy and learn Like it's very hard to be lazy and learn But so the people that go after something and say yo, this was a goal that I said I had Okay, let's say yo goal was to Let's make it super super superficial and practical I see people all the time that want to learn new hustles right you go to a wedding or a family gathering and there's people like the Tamia hustle The day is people that want to learn that like people take these hustles serious They got them on YouTube or you can learn the hustles out and did some of the YouTube tutorials like trying to learn some So a person that wants to learn these hustles Bro, you got to watch the video Like and I'm not seeing people that like take that serious and they educate themselves on the dance moves And then they get to the wedding or something. They ready.
They got it You get what I'm saying, but the problem with us is yeah, we cool with education if it's something fun But everything fun isn't necessarily productive. You feel me J-Rail appreciate you bro Sometimes I like the things that you need to educate yourself on it ain't necessarily about fun I'm gonna tell you something a lot of times education happens in the background What do I mean? Look man, it's time to learn you don't got time to be trying to go live and like the problem One of the problems we have is we want to create content out of everything and I get it I get it. It's a lot of money to be made It's a lot of opportunities and some of that is creativity I ain't trying to knock nobody's monetize and they stuff But what I'm saying is like I'll be feeling like are we even human beings and are we even real people like everything got to be about Content like let me get this get in this way like everything got to be content, bro Something's really should just be you learning in the background learning reading reading articles is YouTube videos that you can learn tutorials like you should be Learning as much about your goals and your purpose as you possibly can you should be a student of the game and When you start learning stuff, it's almost impossible not to be successful.
So like with the stuff we talked about today, right? Let's say you eliminate distractions, right? You put your pride aside, right? You you defeat laziness in your life, right?
You replace the victim mentality with a victorious mentality and then you become educated and literate I literally believe nothing can stop you. I literally believe that if you do all of those things You will see some form of success now. We are there we are far short like I ain't saying that we gonna be perfect but I believe that if we take on a different mentality and become students of the game and fall in love of what we're doing fall in love with our purpose in the most genuine way possible and Eliminate some of these distractions in the world and that's after you I ain't here to tell you what you got to eliminate I ain't here to tell you what you can't and can't do it ain't about that but it's just about the fact that if you want to be successful you are going to have to have sacrifices you feel me and It's not That hard to believe right like you got to like look at any successful people start there find a successful person or successful people in The area that you want to be successful and listen to what they got to say about it And that's part of our education right that's part of education right there Some of us saying we what we got goals or we want to do something and we even listen to the people that already did it It's like bro It's people that already done what you want to do listen to them like Google they name see what they said YouTube their interviews So many of us are chasing things out of ignorance You might want to change your dream after you listen to the people in that field you feel what I'm saying So look man success is obtainable for you for me for us all success It's not something that you can't obtain or you can't go after just because of where you started from just because you're white Or you black or you tall or you short we all got Differences about ourselves that make us unique because we're created in the image of God all people we all are we are gods creation We don't get to decide, you know this group of people is better than that group in that group and when you play that game It's just a cycle it never stops That's why you see sometimes the solution to white supremacy just becomes another race supremacy and the solution to this racism or hate Just becomes another form of racism or hate or so on and so forth because we're trying to solve God problems with a human mentality in order to be successful and move towards our true goal and purpose in life You know the foundation is the word of God as the Bible and from there as we build upon that and learn and become better and allow ourselves to grow We will find success in the best part about it. I'm gonna tell you the best part about it By the time you become successful you will have also become a better person and that's the reason why it's more valuable to you To go through a process to become successful versus hitting a lottery overnight Some of us just want to hit the lottery and even if you don't mean that literally figuratively we want overnight success We want to push a button there goes a million here goes two million I'm good and I always see this whenever like what is it called a powerball or something?
I don't play a lottery I just know when a lottery come up everybody like it's people I know people that they like bro I don't really play a lottery dog, but you know it's 200 billion right? I'm gonna just throw $3 in it I ain't judging you fam, but it ain't my cup of tea man Just because ain't no character in that like it ain't no character and getting success like that success ain't just about the success It's about who I became in order to obtain it like success is about your growth not just the reason that I have goals Right is to stretch me it ain't even about obtaining a goal really at the end of the day And sometimes you obtain things just to realize things are just things and there's some balance to that right? We should be ambitious in life We should have a mentality to go after things because God put us here on earth after all right I don't think God just put you on earth just to say earth is pointless and living itself is pointless No, if that's the case you went enjoying nothing about life But there is a balance to understand that these things right away like they're just things you only have so much time here Make the best of it, but you can be successful if you get out of your own way Look man.
