I ran this interview when I sat down with this alter who's very famous so millions of books and they said what's the first step you do when writing a book his reply was powerful he said I write the last chapter of my book first he said this keeps my writing focused because I always know where I'm gonna end up see there was so much wisdom in there and I don't just mean for altars this is the way we should live our life as we saw is no year oh yourself this question what do I want
in life successful people live with intention they intentionally Russia and design their life in a way that will produce the type of life that they want to experience there's a lot of you out there listen right now there's say you want to be successful but your life is not set up and structure it in a way that's gonna produce that now what I'm gonna do with this message is I'm gonna lay out the five steps for making this year your breakthrough here it's time to stop this going build emotions and start really living the biggest
tragedy is to live a whole life and never have lived now it's time for you to start living life instead of having life love you I'm saying some of you out there have been beat up sucker-punched and not down on the mat of life I get it I know some of you are bruised folded and shattered on the inside I did it some of you have been contemplating giving up and I know so you listen right now after a suicide but I'm here to tell you you hearing this message is not by mistake God loves
you if you read the biographies of the greats every single one of them with products other struggle they went through real life just like you are going through right now and they turned it around see that's what it's all about I know you've been wounded I know you heard not know you're feeling pain I get it nope it's a net on your spiritual enemy has used you'll pass the pains and hurts and things that you've gone through to enslave you to keep you in bondage now in order for you to pray through this year you
have to refrain what happened to you in the past and by reframing what hell's your bondage you can take the past and use it to thrust you the grayness word says what the enemy meant for long God will make good there's a powerful Sanders's there can be no testimony without first having a test and that's what your whole life has been up until now with one great big test now God is going to use your past yeah as the foundation for victory and for the foundation of greatness the foundation for him to glorify himself through
you see what we got to do is help you reframe that you've got to look at your past as bootcamp as training as preparation as college you got your PhD from the school of hard knocks so now when they ask you what's your major who does I need to be brightness when you go ahead allow you to do what they say what's your name a relay will come when they say it's bad no cell no product of struggle when I was in school my study my area of focus was an economics class they taught me
how to not make it stupid to refuse you can see the other but that was such a sign you tell them you suddenly get to Gettysburg interests me and you tell mr. Clair's setting more of the Kings feast assess between the land on the moon this is how you kind of phrase your life from now on may not see greatness in you that is five sensible lay out for you today you can use them to slow down the year but just start over in life it doesn't matter that you're ply it all times whenever you
get lost you come back to these steps in these steps will put you back in order my daddy used to say whenever you get lost in life son go back to basics and that a basics is the word the basics is the truth so we always start with that now what I want to do is start off with Jeremiah 29:11 it says why not players I have you declares the Lord plans to prosper you and not harm you plans to give you hope and a future am i starting with the word we're laying a foundation
of truth to build upon because truth is the tool for greatness now the first step to making this year you're here is laying the foundation for victory and that foundation is relationship the foundation for our victory is established in our long time with God let me back this up with the word mark 1:35 says very early in the morning while it was still dark Jesus got off left the house and went off to a solitary place where he prayed I read this quote by Paul bill hammer and it said the prayer closet is the arena
which produces a deal to come you wanna make this year your year if your goal is to be successful you must develop the discipline to set time aside every single day Taylor is present every time we get alone with God we give birth to something I want to clear something up I have not in any way shape or form talking about religion I am talking about relationship religion cannot save you religion will not kill you religion will not liberate you never will the only thing that will is a relationship worthy is the lamb your relationship
with God and hearing a novel by your religion retail I always buy it wholesale get it from the source go to God just because religious rituals have been accepted as truth does not make them true the real power of God resides in a one-on-one relationship with him that's it I heard this powerful story by these monks who lived up in a monastery up on the mountain and these monks we start praying before the Sun rose and pray all day in silence until nightfall then one day this cat I've got on the grounds at the monastery
and like clockwork as soon as the muscle would begin to sign their prayer time the cattle began to meow and cause the rock Oh day long finally the chief monk said we got to do something about this so they would take the cat every single morning before they started their prayer time and they would tie into a tree so that it wouldn't make noise it wouldn't disturb their prayer time and it worked before they started they would tie him up he wouldn't make a sound the whole day and a night fall they would untie him
and life went on until one day the Chiefs mom passed away now his understudy took over and they continue this cat tradition for years and years and years then one day the cat died and it's through the whole monastery it alone they don't know what to do come today dr. thredson without first tallying up the game so they call the count so all the last monks got together deciding on what they should do it wasn't only said why don't we just want to find another cat tie him to a tree and then we continued our
worship now that sounds like great wisdom to the council so they all agreed upon it they went out and bought a new cat tan into the tree and began their prayer life for Kinzie that's rituals that relationship and that's a funny story right but how many others tie in the cat to the tree every Sunday morning going through the motions real worship can I be accomplished with rituals it can only be accomplished by spirit and truth that step to to making this year your year is to awaken with your calling as key to success is
building your life around the streets gives and natural abilities that God gave you everything God does he does for a purpose now he has anointed you with specific talents for a reason you're calling is always gonna be tied to these abilities that God gave you we struggle the most in life when we get outside our lane when we try to do something and God did not design us to do best at 9 to 5 life right doing that job that we can't see now what does John stand for just the pub bro and many of
us suggest above bro because we've traded in our calling what we've been assigned to do we're out of fear for our paycheck to stand assemble your own activity the one that God made us to be and because life has told us over and over the life that this is the way we are supposed to live we willingly go into slavery to financial bondage living a life that we were never meant to live anytime we try to function outside of God's calling for our life we give birth to disillusionment frustration and spiritual emptiness black is scarcity
come on way of life let us gotta stop right now and say oh the biggest problems in the world is that 90% of the world is our position they are not doing what God has called them to do and that is why we got all this chaos disorder and strife going on this year I want you to stay in your lane be the real Jew now some of you out there listening to me you know exactly what you've been called to do and you just had been doing it but some of you out there you
don't have a clue you don't know what your calling is so here's the thing this question every single day when you get up like did God design me to do this we'll set that discovery in motion see you going anywhere like you wanna go if you just ask yourself the right questions what are you most passionate about success is built on fire fire is passion passion is intensity that's what you gotta build your life around I need to get real some of you out there right now you know your passion and you know what you
decide to do you just think you scared to step out and pursue it you say I'm not gonna pay my bills about face my dream okay but I'm gonna get up in your face with it John I do been struggling your whole life financially anyway it's not like you got that face those money and if you step away from new town but it's all gonna collapse listen I'm all for training but I'm not gonna train greatness in go safety what pacing for benefits for 401k I'm just not gonna do it I'm not gonna train my
greatness in for that your dream right now is to work for Steve Jobs when God has designed you to be the next Steve Jobs so I ask you again what has God designed you to do but this shit'll be different you've got to set yourself on fire and that fire is passion now let me define passion passion is an inexhaustible appetite to display one's true inner self it's an eagerness to exemplify and express to the world what one is who are you what did God design you to do what sets you on fire and what
will make you passionate about love every single day and doing from the moment your eyes open to the moments you close them you got to spin this whole gear get into that place whatever that is that is where you will be most successful in life is doing the thing that God has called you to do now let's back this step up with Scripture proverbs 20 to 29 this is what it says do you see a man skillful in his work he will stand before kings he will not stand before obscure men there's a difference between
admiring somebody's calling and being anointed to do it stay in your lane do what God has called you to do now step 3 to making this year your year step 3 is define what's important when John Lennon was in grade school his teacher went around the class asking each student what do you want to be when you grow up some of the students replied a policeman a fireman an astronaut a teacher a musician but when I got the John John replied I want to be happy the teacher said John you don't understand the question and
John replied babe no you don't understand life we gotta keep that in focus this year I wanted a little Purpose Driven legacy focus Fame oriented that we all got the same purpose in life and that is to bring God glory in everything we do our victories our success that's the marketing campaign for the kingdom of God at the Great's the legends the champions the people that go to the highest level of success if you study their life they're always legacy focused your life is not just about you your gifts are tied to this world to
make it a better place as something inside of you that God has planted then only you can give that is your gift to the world my set needs to shift it is why do I want my legacy to be when I die why do I want to be remembered for get up every day and ask yourself this question over and over and over until you understand and know that asks the moment you awaken today it's the moment to life begins to change this year needs the theme what do you want this year to be about
decide what the theme of your life is going to be this year maybe for you is the years fighting to liberate the year of embarrassed rest erase or maybe us the year the crown discipline dedication whatever it is this you need to see see when you give it a theme it helps unify consolidates your focus because broken focus that's the number one reason for failure this step taps in the vision and vision is the genesis of all greatness now you've got to write this stuff down you know what the word says the word says write
the vision and make it plain so he that really can run with it write it down write your purpose down rain your legacy down write your theme town one mistake people make is they write out New Year's resolutions before they figure out who they really are find yourself before you seek the strategy who are you that's the question see you I did it I'm not talking about the identities that the world gave what the enemy tried to place on you I'm talking about the real identity will lie you these are the type of questions that
you've gotta ask yourself over and over and over because these questions will set you on the trajectory for massive success to fully understand them self-defining was important we need to break it down into five elements number one Purpose Driven number two legacy focus number three outcome oriented number four go driven and number five action aligned now I want to give you an assignment with the step when this message is over I want you to get out a piece of paper and at the top of it right December 31st 2019 pretend that this year has already
happened I want you to write down everything that you accomplish this year of 2019 I want you to write the last chapter first just like the holes at the beginning of this message write the last chapter of this year first then you pull out that piece of paper every morning when you wake up and you read it if you align all your actions throughout the day to bring that last chapter about that's step four is to live to an environment of truth and this is principle here rests on step number one so you can't fully
awaken or understand I have revelation of the truth until you've been in the presence of God that's why you got to get in his presence every single day now the word says the truth shall set you free a quickest way to change your life is they introduce truth into it see the enemy cannot hide in an environment of truth the enemies just like roaches when you turn on the light the roses run your life will begin the taste when you reach over hit that light switch you heard me saying earlier truth is the control for
greatness truth does not discriminate li blesses all to embrace the that has two elements the truth there's God's truth and order which is the natural laws that go in this universe right like gravity the law of attraction the love love these things right now Loomis say he put in place and then there's the truth that he put inside of you your identity your truth who are you you can't fully walk in truth until you understand your identity my wife and I we just built a new house so we had to go down to the post
office and change our address now we've been getting these notices in the mail at our new address saying come to the post office we have mail there that was sent to the old address now when we go down to the post office to pick those packets the lady at the counter says I need to see you identification before I can give these packages to you I have to confirm and identify with you all it's the same with like God has already sent you the promise I already sent you to bless it the healing the prosperity
the abundance it's already been said but an order for you to pick these packages of these blesses up you gotta show the world your identity your identity has to match the name on the blessed but your identity God gave you you can't have what you are unaware of I tell people like this I used to read other people's dreams until the day I fell my own and because I've discovered my identity I can now see my dream so clearly that its manifestation is inevitable the world knows exactly you say that blessing to not to live
in an environment of truth we have to approach our relationships differently you see real success is the fool and outright demonstration of authenticity you can't be living half truth in relationships and expect to live it real and all fitting in your work I will give you something right now that will change the whole dynamic of your life if you adopted from this point forward and fail to make every relationship one of truth first you raise your own standard everything you do let it be done in true faith once you establish your own standard then demand
that of everybody that's around you truth is the key element to have an amazing intense connections with people and that's what life is all about connection if you are tired of lukewarm relationships you can change that you can set your relationships on fire if you are willing to be vulnerable emotionally exposed willing to walk in truth and be authentic with people this will change your whole life is that you set this in motion you tell everyone in your life this you say I don't want anything from you except your truth I will not judge you
on what you say to me the only thing I will judge is the level of truth that you gave me and once you walk this out you will begin to establish trust with those that you are involved with and the relationship dynamics will completely change the surface level and down to the depths of real life connection and from that place the spark will be generated and that spark will set you on fire on the inside and that fire will bleed always in a work that you are doing and prepare stupid to the greatest Heights no
the main truth is the Couture for greatness see every problem in life is this the true problem some of you looking in the wrong place to fix your work problem you think it is about work with is actually about your relationships if you know the same is true there it don't matter the truth is the chiropractor undermined this year failed to live to an environment of truth and everything you do ask yourself these questions how much truth am I currently walking in how much truth is in my marriage my family my relationships my work count
real how truthful am I being with God time to stop faking it it's time to stop going through Moses it's time to be real stop living lies man life is too short to live that way you don't have to answer to the world you only gotta answer to God and then truth did he put on the inside of you live you live the real you displayed to the world what truth will it looks like that brings us to step 5 the last step you gotta line your mind with successes wherever the mind goes the body
will follow and the word says be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that's Romans 12:2 it all starts with your thinking your mindset is the thermostat that sets the tone for every environment you enter you gotta walk in the room different this year came a 2019 of success live in a 2016 mindset this year I want you to start dreaming big you got more inside of you you've been settling for way less than God intended for you to have dream bigger because we've got all things are possible
a person who cannot control their thinking disqualifies themselves from successes step builds on the previous I just wouldn't mind rooted in truth can do the impossible now thoughts and behaviors consistently align with success will eventually produce the outcomes they give birth to it now this year I want you to pour success into your mind whether that's really listening to audiobooks watching videos going to seminars whatever it is surround yourself with greatness and pull that in by the gallon if you want this year to be different then you got to commit to making different happen you
gotta face your fears this year you gotta get comfortable being uncomfortable don't run every time something hurts every time you feel uneasy every time you get a little uncomfortable yo feathers get ruffled you can't get the stats running from thanks yes that's right start you can outrun it the only way to beat it is turn around and face it conquer it some of you've been given up too easy if you give up on a dream is to commit abortion on the life one good I had some of you were right at the door about to
make a breakthrough when you go in a town you were right there you were too old for it and you gave up this year this year you can't let that happen this is your year you gotta own this year don't let it own you some of you need to make this year's theme the year I'll to come back I know some of you have made mistakes and you keep beating yourself over it I know some of you feel like the world has robbed you and done you wrong I know some of you have been knocked
down on that man I did it let me give you an example nobody goes to a movie and watches from the beginning Louise the end of the movie and all humans is perfect no struggles in life no pain no hers nobody but go pay to see a movie like that the biggest movies are tragedies that's where the beginning of the movie we tap into a character and then that character has some big setback some big challenge some big mistake something pain something happens that preys on down to nothing and gentlemen nothing they find themselves and
when they find them something flies up and khakha we paint over and over and over for that movie and that movie is your life right now what has happened and transpired out but to this point is the beginning of the movie the good thing is you get to write the ending there's now write the ending write that comeback story that movie of your life that will have people lined up around the movie theater pay you top dollar the cops say they are about if you're tired of your life write a new scrap if you don't
like the one that you looked right in the movie change roles you are the Steven Spielberg the George Lucas you are the director of your life you are the Walt Disney dreaming dream the life that you want pick up the pier to capture it on Facebook my Hannah campaign so that movement live your life the way you want to live it our beautiful strong and amazing and you deserve the best the life has to offer I know life is sucker-punched you it get you on the scene a few times put you down on the mat
but here's the truth you're still standing your product color struggle and your best days lie ahead of you it's the truth the world is your make this year your year own it don't let it on you go get what you deserve draw a line in the sand and say it all stops here today I won't live this way I was meant for greater and I'm gonna achieve it I'm going to the top ain't nothing gonna stop me I know I am I am A champion born and raised overcome and I will not be denied what
is mine I will not settle for anything less than my best I'm a child of the Most High God today I start acting like the Sears billions rooks and I am blessed and unstoppable and to God be the glory
