How do you respond when you find yourself dealing with the
situations that are very painful?
In fact, you get rejected,
somebody walks out on you,
you feel like they would dishonest with you,
they didn't tell you the truth.
You feel lonely, you feel hurt very discouraged
when you're thinking about all the things that happen to people and
the reactions we have.
How do you, how do you feel?
You just want to say, you know what?
I don't have to put up with this anymore.
And you just decided I'm going to walk away.
I quit.
I give up, I don't have to do this.
I don't have to stay here.
Discouragement is so bold
that it will even hide behind the smile.
And tell you life is not worth living.
If you listen at discouragement,
it will cause you to make bad decisions.
It will cause you to think that life is not worth living
and secretly behind
And if you're in the process right now,
giving up on your marriage,
giving up on your job,
giving up on your children,
giving up on your financial situation,
whatever the situation may be
before you give up, you stop and ask yourself the question,
Does this fit who I am?
And this message is all about.
Listen, it's all about keeping on keeping on,
and that is to have the courage to keep on keeping on.
And if you will listen carefully
and apply these points that I'm going to lay out for you
you don't have to give up
There is an answer and a solution to what God wants to do in your life
at this point, no matter what it is.
Here's the other thing is you look at your goals
and you look at your dreams
When you're going through some stuff, when things go wrong.
Don't go with them.
When things go wrong,
don't go with them.
When you're working on a business deal,
you're counting on some money.
Someone said you will get the loan and it falls through you have an event.
And the people that you thought would be there and support you,
they don't come through,
or someone turns against you or you get ripped off.
It's going to happen to you
happened to me.
Someone stole all my products, my database, over 180,000 names and addresses.
It's not personal.
It's going to happen to everybody.
It does.
Eight out of 10 millionaires have been financially bankrupt
It's called life.
But I got to saying when life knocks you down, try and land on your back
because if you can look up, you can get up.
You've got the power in you to do that.
You've got something special.
You got combat power.
Take ownership for your life.
Nobody can live your dream for you but you
nobody's going to take care of your business like you
Stop coming up with excuses.
Don't give yourself permission to continue to live a small life.
You can't fit a big dream into a small life.
Give yourself permission to go for it, to test yourself
the challenge itself to live full.
always strive to get on top of life because it's the bottom.
That's overcrowded.
There's something in you that tells you
this is not it for you.
You have not peaked here.
There's more in you that you are expressing
Eyes not seen, ears not heard.
What's in store for you
If you challenge yourself,
if you persist and persevere, if
if you take ownership for your life.
George Bernard Shaw said the people that make it in his life, they look around for
the circumstances that they want,
and if they can find them, they create them.
Create what you want.
You have the power to do the more than you could ever begin to imagine,
to control your destiny,
to make a difference in our children,
to make a difference on the planet,
to make an impact.
And let us say together, it's me.
Let us say together.
It's hard.
Yes, it's hard.
It's hard.
And we will do it hard.
And once we do it hard and we go through, we realized it was worth it.
And once you discover it's worth it, it is done.
