I want to share with you how to reach
your goals I think the Bible's greatest
motivational book ever been written now
I want you to repeat after me please we
got to recondition our minds first let
us say together good things that's
supposed to happen to me yeah write that
down I want you to say that to yourself
every day see we live in a world what we
believe that bad things are supposed to
happen to us
I remember the point of my life Bishop
when things are going good for me and I
said this is too good to be true
something is bound to happen
guess what it did thou shalt decree a
thing that shall be established under
you shall accomplish that win - it has
been sent watch your words watch what
you say about yourself about your
affairs be conscious of that on a daily
basis why because your words are
powerful in the beginning was the word
life and death is in the tongue watch
what you say never say I'm broke
say I'm overcoming a cash flow problem
[Applause]
claim what you want not what you don't
want so firm good things that suppose to
happen to me and begin to believe that
began to expect that now I was talking
to my oldest son Calvin we're going for
a walk
and I said Calvin do you want to be
successful he said yes I dad so ok you
kept on walking then I stopped and I
looked him in the eyes
it's my namesake my junior that's it
Calvin
we're looking at each other eye to eye
now do you expect to be successful given
the fact that you are a single parent of
two kids given the fact that you decided
not to go to college to further your
education given the fact that you are
very talented but you're behind on your
dreams and your bills do you expect
based upon your performance based upon
what you produce at this point in time
in your life do you expect to be
successful and Calvin got quiet but you
see if you ask most people at the
manpower conference do you want to be
successful do you want to live a life of
productivity do you want to live a life
or contribution do you want to be a
better father do you want to have your
own business other dreams you want
everybody will say yes but see what
shows up in conversation expectation
shows up in behavior say I can tell what
you expect by what you do that's why the
Bible says judge it's a tree by the
fruit it bears not the fruit that it was
not the fruit that it talks about not
the fruit that it claims but by what you
are doing see what you do when you leave
here when the music stops when the
shouting dies down your behavior how you
conduct yourself writing your goals down
deciding to enroll in school to get a
GED deciding to sit in the class with
children young enough to be your
grandchildren decide to find some
product some idea of some service that
you can provide so that you can begin to
create some value for yourself so you
can create well let me tell you
something ladies and gentlemen it's very
important that we begin to learn how to
create well I'm not talking about loving
money so I believe that a lack of money
is the root of all evil people are steal
for money people have killed for money
people go to jail for money every time
the unemployment goes up in those areas
where the unemployment is high that's
what you have the highest incidence of
crime and violence whenever the
unemployment goes up 1% in our community
10,000 children and women are better won
money makes a difference in your life I
never wanted to be rich all I've ever
wanted to do was to be comfortable how
many of ever want to be comfortable
raise your hands then I realize not to
be comfortable you got to be rich
no friend of mine Zig Ziglar say people
say money won't make you happy but
everybody want to find out for
themselves
Rena Davenport save money and important
put it right up there with oxygen and
let me tell you something fellas even if
you as homeless as I am if you got some
money women will find something cute on
you
[Laughter]
he got in mode like Denzel honey money
makes a difference I used to be so
Brooklyn creditors would call the house
my children would answer the phone to
say bye daddy say I was on broke at one
time my life I walked by bacon trip the
alarm
[Laughter]
I'd say you poverty sucks you hear me
repeat after me please I'll never be
broke again
yes write that down I affirm that I'll
never be broke again never never will I
ever be broke again let me tell you what
money does number one it gives you
control over your life write that down
number two it gives you options three it
allows you to live a life of
contribution to contribute to things
that you feel strongly about like this
ministry and the work a project two
thousand will be doing to change the
lives of young people
Bishop Jake's vision is and we can have
Little League football teams and
baseball teams and basketball teams then
we can have little league dermatologists
and cardiologists and endocrinologist so
he is now establishing an institution
project mm to give our young people the
methods the techniques to reinvent
themselves as we go into the next
millennium and this era that Peter
Drucker calls the era of a three C's
accelerated change overwhelming
complexity and tremendous competition so
here's the first step to accumulating
wealth if you expect to do it write this
down you must be willing to do the
things today others won't do in order to
have the things tomorrow others won't
have that's why the book of life said
the road to life is straight and narrow
and few there be that find it because
fuel there will be that are willing to
do the things today others won't do in
order to have the things tomorrow others
won't have what are the things that
others won't do
make discipline a major force in your
life how many of you know if you'd have
been more disciplined you'd be further
along to reach your goals right now
Socrates said the undisciplined life is
an insane life the road to life is
straight and narrow because few there be
that are willing to discipline
themselves here's something else that
most people won't do make it okay to
fail a lot of people 85% of people allow
their fear of failure to outweigh their
desire to succeed repeat after me please
anything that's worth doing
[Music]
is worth doing badly yes anything is
worth doing is worth doing right as we
have been taught if you know how to do
it but if you don't know how to do it is
worth doing badly until you get it right
now write this down you don't have to be
great to get started but you have to get
started to be great
the first time I set up the speak
I stood up and my mind set down I looked
at the audience and I panicked I had to
introduce a play at school we eloped
we about the story ran up mr. Washington
mr. Brown where are you going on mr.
wash and I I can't think I don't know
did you rehearse yes I did well what's
wrong why did you say you're Liza I
don't know Sal I just got up then I
looked at them and everything left me
let me do it another day please sir no
go back out there mr. Baum mr.
Washington huh that's a fleece earth
though
don't don't don't send me out there now
I'll mess up mr. Brown if you run now
you will always be running anything
that's worth doing it's worth doing
badly until you get it right
why are you moving right yeah I got to
go to bathroom sir mr. brown
go back out there yes sir we start a
flea call 12 Angry Men directed by mr.
Leroy Washington
that ran off the next day hey alfalfa
[Applause]
they dogged me out they talked about me
so bad
the next time another event came up mr.
Washington mr. Brown you were up I said
no mr. Washington everybody says no not
him I said there right mr. Washington
not me he said mr. Brown you are up yes
sir and I went out and pretty soon when
people laughed at me didn't bother me
they would throw paper and I can catch
it without losing my concentration
and then one day I came out and a hush
went across the audience because it must
have been something about me that
indicated that I had come to myself and
mr. Washington had been practicing with
me to give a presentation and I looked
at the audience and I said I choose not
to be a common man it's my right to be
uncommon if I can
I seek opportunity not security I do not
wish to be a kept citizen humbled and
dull by having the state look after me I
want to take the calculated risk to
dream and to build to fail and to
succeed I refuse to live from hand to
mouth I prefer the challenges of life to
the guaranteed existence the thrill of
fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia
I will never cower before any master nor
been to any threat it's my heritage to
stand erect prouder than afraid to face
tomorrow boldly and say this I have done
girl stood up say that's my boy Freddy
unlike me some that's our baby but I
didn't start off like that you have
something special you have talents and
abilities in you that you don't even
know so how do we begin to create wealth
let me give you some some ideas
number one write this down knowledge
what knowledge that you have in this
economy part of what we need that people
are willing to pay you for that
next is talent what talent jion's
talents playing football I don't have
that as a tower my talent is talking to
me that my definition of success is
doing what you love to do and find
somebody to pay you to do it you want to
master your talent find out what it is
that you love to do I love the talk
scripture is another key that says to us
and what we need to do to begin to
develop ourselves
Luke 1234 where your treasure is there
will your heart be also so what do you
love to do and then explore ways in
which you can earn a living doing that
cooking writing painting working with
numbers working with people the other
thing is not only must you have
knowledge talent some skill but the
other thing that's important faith to
act on whatever your dream is see if you
don't believe in yourself how many
people you know that have a lot of
talent lot of abilities but they don't
believe in themselves raise your hands
cf faith is very important so the faith
to act on those dreams those desires
your scripture that I that I like very
much
proverbs 16 sixteenth chapter third
verse commit thy works unto the Lord and
I thought shall be established commit
means to carry into action
commit means to make it happen no matter
what commitment the difference between
next time you have bigger names the
chicken was involved the pig was
committed he had to give it all up
that's gonna take a minute to sink in
alright see when you make a commitment
I'm going to become wealthy when you
make it important when you decide I'm
gonna do it no matter what life changes
for you see most people don't keep their
commitments to their commitments that's
why they lead lives of poverty lives of
misery lives of unhappiness Socrates
said the uncommitted life isn't worth
living so part of what you must do
whatever commitment and whatever
covenant you make with God while you're
here to go back to be a better father to
go back to make a difference in the
community to go back to change your life
to decide not to ever to use drugs or
alcohol again to decide to bid that
you're going to begin to recreate
yourself that you're going to be reborn
to a new state of consciousness whatever
commitment that you make keep your
commitment to your commitment no matter
what if it's hard then do it hard but
keep your commitment to your commitment
