I'd give you money for my health, I'd give you money to keep
me at my health right now. I'd pay you what I pay for a house, I'd pay that.
I'd pay it monthly, I'd pay $5000 a month for you to give me an extra 10 years of health.
And to live another 10 years. I'd pay you to live like, to look like this Jamie,
and feel like this at 100. You can take the money.
Because if I just have money, but I don't have nothing else, I don't have nothing!
Are you wasting your time or are you using your time wisely?
Are you wasting your time? Now watch this guys. Statistically,
we want to show you some stats. We wanted to reveal to you
what the devil is doing. 10 Time Wasters.
TV. "I should never watch TV?!"
I never said that, but I promise you, you shouldn't be wasting time.
I promise you, you shouldn't be wasting time. So, if you watching TV,
five or six episodes of something, you ain't got nothing done productively.
You haven't been able to accomplish anything effectively and you have wasted your time.
You need to stop. TV, movies, phone.
Jamie, how much time do we spend talking on the phone,
having conversations that we shouldn't even be...
that conversation ended 45 minutes ago. You gotta know.
You gotta know when you own a phone and it's productive,
then when it's gotten to a point where it's not productive no more. It's time-wasting.
Social media. Jamie, I'm just gonna keep it 100. I gotta get up and pray every day and say,
"God, when I drop my video in the morning let me put the phone down and go pray."
Sometimes, Jamie, I drop my phone and I'm going through my stuff,
how many people have looked at it, and it goes from that to looking
at somebody else's story, then it goes from that Jamie,
I'd woke up 15-20 minutes later. No, you heard what I just said, I woke up.
You like, "what'd you mean, you was on the phone asleep?"
I woke, social media, meaning that I woke up and went back to being productive.
I was in an unproductive comatose. I don't even know what I was... Jamie!
If I had to get $1.000.000 for what I was doing for that 20 minutes,
I couldn't even tell you what I was doing. I was just scrolling.
That's it, just scrolling down. I don't even know what I was looking at. I
don't even know what I was doing. Unproductive. Time wasting.
Video games. Yeah, I've been guilty. Back in my 20s, I was wasting time, some of
you wasting time, you're still in tournaments. You're grown doing tournaments.
You're doing tournaments. Allelujah. Commuting.
Jamie, do you know how much time people waste commuting?
"I got to drive to my job!" Why aren't you listening to a podcast?
Why aren't you listening to an audiobook?
Why are you just listening to music that's not necessarily gonna help you?
Why aren't you getting a degree while you're in the car?
If you gotta be in the car, two hours there, two hours back,
Jamie four hours? You can have a book online and be listening
to that book and taking audio notes. "Siri, write this down!"
All that time you spend in your car, you could've had a degree and learnt a second language.
Exercise. "You saying, Pastor, I shouldn't be exercising?!"
Look, listen to me very closely. Give it 30 minutes to an hour. Go sit down somewhere.
Eat right and you could work out for that hour and not have to work out no more.
You're exercising, now exercising is taking a place of being productive.
You could be going to college and getting a degree
or you could be getting a trade, or you could be getting certified.
You exercise because you like doing it and it feels good,
but the results, you can get those in an hour. Listen to me very closely, time is so important.
People say all the time, "E, man, your money..." Listen to me. I can get my money back.
I can always get my money back. I can do some gigs and get my money back.
Listen to me very closely. You can replace money, you cannot get a year back.
I'll never forget, during the pandemic, Jamie, I'll never forget people's birthday,
they would be like 46, and they would be like, "I'm still 46."
I go, "what do you mean by that?" They were like, "I ain't get to use this year."
During the pandemic, COVID-19, they were like, "I ain't get to use that year."
About that, about the summer, don't even count the summer.
We need this summer to come after this summer. Why? We ain't get to use this summer!
I'm telling you, the one thing you cannot get back is time.
It is your greatest asset. It is your greatest asset, are you hearing me?
It is your greatest asset. Where I am in my life right now,
I promise you Jamie, I'd give somebody some of
my money for a couple more years to be with my wife I'd give you money for my health,
I'd give you money to keep me at my health right now.
I'd pay you what I pay for a house, I'd pay that. I'd pay it monthly, I'd pay $5000 a month for you
to give me an extra 10 years of health. And to live another 10 years.
I'd pay you to live like, to look like this Jamie, and feel like this at 100.
You can take the money. Because if I just have money, but I don't
have nothing else, I don't have nothing! And so, I'm telling y'all,
I'm telling y'all, a lot of y'all not successful because you're not doing your time right.
