[Music] I found that nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks nothing do what you feel passionate about take chances don't be afraid to fail there's an old IQ test was nine dots and you had to draw five lines with a pencil Within These dots without lifting the pencil the only way to do it was to go outside the box so don't be afraid to go outside the box don't be afraid to think outside the box don't be afraid to fail big to dream big but remember dreams without goals are just dreams and they
ultimate ly fuel disappointment so have dreams but have goals there is no passion to be found playing small and settling for a life that's less than the one you're capable of living now I'm sure in your experiences in school and applying to college and picking your major in deciding what you want to do with life I'm sure people have told you to make sure you have something to fall back on make sure you got something to fall back on honey but I never understood that concept having something to fall back on if I'm going to
fall I don't want to fall back on anything except my faith I want to fall forward I figure at least this way I'll see what I'm going to [Music] hit fall forward Society is forcing success down our throat comparative success down our throat you know I don't know if the Bible says it but it's it's somewhere it says in the last days we'll become lovers of ourselves the number one photograph now is a self e so all we all want to be followed no you know we all want to lead I should say we want
F we want we're willing to do anything anything to be influential you know the universal stems from the specific where's your soul where's your heart where does it start do you want credit for it or do you want to see the other person do well it's the most selfish thing I've done in my life is give if you don't fail you're not even trying to get something you never had you have to do something you never did and understand that to achieve these goals you must apply apply discipline and consistency in order to achieve your
goals you must apply discipline which you have already done and consistency every day not just on Tuesday and miss a few days you have to work at it every day you have to plan every day you've heard the saying we don't plan to fail we fail to plan hard work works working really hard is what successful people do you know but uh Fame is a is a monster you know and we all have these ladders of battles roads we have to walk in our given lives be you famous or or or or whoever is out
there listening we all have our individual challenges Fame just magnifies the problems and the opportunities I never looked at things as problems I look at them as opportunities maybe look maybe that's something I can say you know someone ah but she did this and I well what an opportunity you have to make a difference because you never know who's watching imagine you're on your deathbed and standing around your deathbed are the ghosts representing your unfulfilled potential the ghost of the ideas you never acted on the ghost of the talents you didn't use and they're standing
around your bed angry disappointed and upset they say we we came to you because you could have brought us to life they say and now we have to go to the Grave together so I ask you today how many ghosts are going to be around your bed when your time comes true desire in the heart that itch that you have whatever it is you want to do that thing that you want to do to help others and to to grow and to make money that desire that itch that's God's proof to you sent beforehand already
to indicate that it's yours and anything you want good you can have so claim it work hard to get it when you get it reach back pull someone else up don't just aspire to make a living aspire to make a [Music] difference so you got to get out there you got to give it everything you got whether it's your time your your your talent your prayers or your Treasures because remember this you will never see a U-Haul behind a hearse you will never see a U-Haul behind a hearse you can't take it with you the
Egyptians tried it what are you going to do with what you have 40 years ago March 27th 1975 it was 40 years ago I was flunking out of college I had a 1.7 grade point average I was sitting in my mother's beauty shop and I'm looking in the mirror and I see behind me this woman under the dryer and every time she looked up she every time I looked up she was looking at me just looking me in the eye and I didn't know who she was and I said you know she said somebody give
me a pen give me a pencil I have a prophecy March 27 1975 she said boy you are going to travel the world and speak to millions of people well I have traveled the world and I have spoke to millions of people but that's not the most important thing the success that I had the most important thing is that what she taught me and what she told me that day has stayed with me since I've kept God in my life and has kept me humble I didn't always stick with him but he always stuck with
me so stick with him in everything you do if you think you want to do what you think I've done then do what I've done without commitment you'll never start but more importantly without consistency you'll never finish keep striving never give up fall down seven times get up eight ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship the chances you take the People You Meet the faith that you have that's what's going to Define you never hold back give everything you got and when you fall throughout life remember [Music] this fall forward
