[Music]
well here we are
a new year draws near
[Music]
here we are but what have we become
it is time to press refresh what does
that mean it means that it is time to
become the newest
most updated version of who you are
because a new year requires a new
mindset
a new focus and a new engagement on my
part
everybody say new it is time to hit
refresh
there are things that you have been
called to do
that you have never done and there are
things that you have been called to do
that no one on earth has ever done
and so if there's anything that i can
give you if there's any piece of advice
if there's any information i can pass on
to you
it would be the question what do you
want
what has ultimately transpired in our
lives
what has happened in the year 2020
what circumstances did we all
have to face what has happened to us
this is a new season this is a new month
this is a new year
it is a new time for me to find out
where
am i going this is the time to ask
yourself
where are you because i don't think
you're asking yourself this question
enough
somebody told you to just graduate high
school graduate college
get a job work that job the rest of your
life
have kids get married and die somebody
told you that
but i want to ask you what do you want
what do you believe you were destined to
do
and then you gotta spend every single
solitary day
for the rest of your life going after
that dream
what is your dream
and when you think there's nothing left
in the tank
look yourself in the eyes and
say i can i will
[Music]
i must
rule number one you need a dream you
need a goal
and you have to give that goal a
deadline a dream
without a deadline will become your
nightmare
and that nightmare will haunt you for
the rest of your
life you gotta have a dream and you have
to put it on the calendar
and you have to break it down bit by bit
piece by piece day by day
so number one get a dream have a goal
and give it a deadline
if there's anything else you're going to
need coupled with that dream
is you're gonna need hunger
let me say this again you have to get
hungry i'm talking about you gotta think
of everything you've ever wanted in your
life
you have to think about what your father
has gone through and what
your mother has gone through all of the
pain
all of the trauma everything you have
experienced
the turbulence you have to garner up
all of that hunger and you got to put it
toward that goal
[Music]
let me tell you this the wolf that is
on the hill is never as hungry
as the wolf that is climbing the hill
and so you got to get hungry and you
have to stay hungry
you have to guard hunger
and the only way you're gonna do that is
if you eliminate
all distractions out of your life
deliberately
examine the landscape
of your inner circle who
in your life is not feeding you
possibility are you ready
to attack the new year
to attack means to take aggressive
action
this means that you're not just sitting
around
waiting to see what 2021 has in store
for you
attacking the new year means that you're
going to be intentional
about setting the tone for how your year
is going to turn out
even if everyone around you is
complaining and saying that things are
going to get worse
you don't have to come into agreement
with them
see those who expect more they get more
and those who don't expect much well
they usually don't get much i want you
to bump into new this year
i want you to be walking and see a
blessing that you didn't expect i want
you to walk into a season
that you didn't know you was going to
have i want you to enter a dimension
that you can't believe that you're on
i want you to get to a level and say how
did i get to this level
i want you to see something new in every
area of your life
these are not your settling years these
are your conquering years
these are not your years where you just
settle for an average
marriage and settle for an average
careers no
this is the year that you decide i want
new i want fresh i want the real
stuff i see the work that i put in every
day
as an opportunity not an obligation
i don't have to work i get to work
the people who do what others don't want
to do
those are the people who end up at the
top
don't just do enough to get by exceed
expectations
over deliver and you will find that that
same energy
that you're putting in is coming back to
you
if you keep putting in the work you are
going to see results
the key is being consistent consistency
is showing up when you really don't feel
like it
so what do you want to achieve this year
what is it
is it time freedom is it financial
freedom
is it better relationships is it better
health
whatever that is for you you've got to
own it
it's going to be up to you to nurture
and protect that desire
your mind should be so focused on
winning that you have
tunnel vision if your mind is all over
the place
you've got to take some time to clear
your mind declutter your mind
get clarity on what's serving you and
what's not
get clarity on what's pushing you closer
to your goals
and what's getting you off track
[Music]
[Applause]
