00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:02.720
What's up with the what's ups?
00:00:02.959 --> 00:00:06.160
Welcome back to another episode of Prayers and Blessings the Podcast.
00:00:06.959 --> 00:00:08.400
I'm your host, Mark Tyson.
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:12.800
Before we get started, we're gonna leave a prayer.
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:14.320
As usual.
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:21.600
Heavenly Father, we thank you for another day, another opportunity, another chance to reach out and touch someone.
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:35.039
Another opportunity to share growth, strength, courage, creativity, another chance to talk to someone with you out in front.
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:37.119
Thank you, Lord Jesus.
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:38.000
Amen.
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:42.640
So, how is everybody doing?
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.119
How is everybody weekend?
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.560
This weekend I had an opportunity.
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:54.640
We're gonna get straight to it.
00:00:54.799 --> 00:01:00.159
This weekend I had an opportunity for my first keynote speaker presentation.
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:03.920
And how did it go?
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:07.200
I'm gonna say it went wonderful.
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:09.280
And I'm gonna tell you why.
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:16.079
The reason why I'm gonna say it went wonderful is because I learned something about myself.
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:24.239
I learned so much more about me, and I learned so much more about God.
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:40.480
There were so many speakers there, and it was so many different lanes and avenues that you couldn't get around it.
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:45.439
I had my oldest son there, I haven't seen him in weeks, maybe a month.
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:48.640
He came out, he got something out of it.
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.280
I had my two youngest sons there, my wife, my mother.
00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:01.519
My cousin that I haven't seen in like I haven't seen him in maybe three, four years.
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.640
I was on my way to the event and he called me.
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:08.639
I stopped by and picked him up, and he came.
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:36.159
Now, I was supposed to be going to speak about the blueprint and help with principles and show how to follow the blueprint and explain the blueprint that anything that you ever have done, anything that you want to accomplish, it's already been accomplished.
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.120
Don't make things hard.
00:02:40.319 --> 00:03:00.319
And I worked on my presentation to my best of my ability, to a thorough note, so that I wouldn't just be rambling and that I would have points and impact, and that I would stay on topic.
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:08.719
Because when you're in front of people, you want to be prepared and you don't just want to freestyle.
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:20.000
The funny thing is I hit my points.
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.000
And you couldn't tell me I didn't do a good job.
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:32.479
But when I got off the stage, more than one person told me the same thing.
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:40.159
But they wanted to hear me.
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:43.919
They wanted to hear more about me.
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:47.599
They wanted to get to know me.
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:54.879
They wanted to know how was the blueprint, how has the blueprint changed my life?
00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:02.800
See now I gave perspective on the blueprint and how to follow it.
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:07.840
And how to how success leaves clues.
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:27.519
And I helped them understand that success is not a guarantee, uh overnight guarantee.
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:39.120
But at the end of the day, they wanted to hear more about Mark Tyson and how success has impact, how the blueprint has impacted you, and how do you use the blueprint?
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:49.600
And true indeed, the thought crossed my mind as I was preparing the speech, but then I said, This is not about me, this is about helping someone else.
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:56.879
The moral my story, the moral of this segment is what I'm trying to say is it's growth.
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.120
There's no perfect moment.
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:12.399
You learning anything you do in life, you have to jump out into it and develop and become the person that God has created you to be.
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:24.319
Because if you wait and try to perfect it, it's gonna be perfected to your knowledge and your capability, especially when you never had no experience in these things.
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:35.680
So I have things now that's gonna help me strengthen my speech because as a key, as a keynote speaker, you have this is my signature.
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.079
The blueprint is my signature.
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:54.879
So if God is using me, he's gonna help me perfect who I am and perfect the craft that I'm stepping into.
00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:05.040
I is it's no room for me to take the criticism as a grumpy person and say they don't know what they're talking about, they couldn't do it, or why would they not try?
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:07.439
They think they know this, that, and the third.
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:20.959
You have to be an open-minded individual when you're trying something new.
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:28.399
When you're stepping into a lane, when you're creating your own lane, correct?
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.240
When you're creating a lane for yourself.
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.399
You create your lane, you stay in your lane.
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:52.160
So I'm much more um I I enjoyed the feedback.
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:56.079
I didn't take any feedback in a negative manner.
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:16.800
In actuality, the minute the feedback was coming to me, I understood that the things that I have been through in the blueprint that I didn't have, because I didn't have a blueprint as a parent.
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.160
I didn't have a I didn't have a parenting blueprint.
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:33.439
I didn't have uh this um dynamic with a father-son relationship that I could follow to teach my children.
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:44.240
But what is going on in my life as I'm creating the blueprint, you know, being not being perfect, but being present and learning as I go to become a parent.
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:49.360
So that blueprint right there, I believe I could have touched on.
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:59.519
I believe I could have shared with some of the youth out there to let them know that, okay, if there's not a blueprint for you, then you have to create your own blueprint by the things that you went through.
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:05.120
Because once you create your own blueprint, your blueprint is the blueprint that you pass on to someone.
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:40.159
Because the blueprint that I have right now of the trials and tribulations that I went through, that I'm not leaning on them as crutches, and I'm using them to stand on, and I'm teaching my children, and I'm learning from the things I didn't do with my oldest child that I'm doing with my youngers, my younger children, that's creating a blueprint for my legacy to leave, to lean on, and to live with.
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:52.960
So these are things that I can add to it, and that comes with growth and structure, guidance, understanding.
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:57.759
And I will be leaning more towards that.
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:32.639
It's not that you, it's not that when you're creating your own blueprint, or you're in a situation, because sometimes we're in a situation we don't even realize we're creating our own blueprint, but once you are aware of it, it's not that you have to so much change, excuse me, what you started, but you always can add to it to make you a better person, make you a better speaker, make you a better lawyer, make you a better doctor, make you a better entrepreneur, make you um a better pastor, minister, leader.
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:33.360
You know what I'm saying?
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:39.519
Make you a better person so when you look in the mirror, you don't you don't always take the criticism as somebody's hating.
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:46.159
You take it and you use it to benefit yourself.
00:09:51.360 --> 00:10:04.159
And I don't think I was nervous, I would think I was too busy focusing on trying to impact without fumbling.
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:06.639
I guess it comes with the it comes with the territory.
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.919
You know, you know, first time riding a bike, you're gonna fall until you get up.
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:16.399
You have to do some things and you have to tweak some things and become better at whatever it is that you're doing in life.
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:28.080
Even as me, as my chef um journey, I had to learn certain things, and I had to tweak it, and I had to, you know, that come that just comes with life as all around.
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:44.480
I'll tell you what, I'm gonna let you hear the speech and I mean it, I don't want to, I don't want to say be your own judge, but I just wanted to let you hear what I delivered that day.
00:10:46.960 --> 00:11:01.279
I think it was, I think once I listen back to it, because I know me knowing what I was delivering, I feel like, okay, I could have done out here, I could have said this, or these things, these pockets that I was out of.
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:05.759
But I believe that this is what's gonna make me better.
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:11.519
This is what's going, this is what God wants for me.
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:16.000
Because I honestly believe that I was touching someone.
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.159
I had I had certain people that I looked down in the audience, they was locked in.
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:21.519
And that's what I want.
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.159
I'm there to feed, I'm there to feed.
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:36.159
So I'm gonna go back in, I'm gonna cook up again, and I'm gonna continue until I get the meal correctly to feed the youth, feed the mid, feed feed the adults.
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:40.720
I'm gonna feed them the word that it's gonna help them prosper.
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:45.440
It's gonna help them prepare themselves for a better future.
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:50.879
It's gonna help prepare them and help them become the person that God has created them to be.
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.720
Because I believe that's my purpose.
00:11:55.679 --> 00:12:00.000
Um, one thing I do know about uh God, right?
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:02.159
In my journey.
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:11.759
Anything I'm not comfortable with, anything I don't want to be in, anything that I don't feel like God wants me involved in, he removes me from it and places me where he wants me.
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:16.320
And I could tell it by the by the by the space that I be in when I'm there.
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.399
I know this is where God has me at.
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:27.600
And the only time that it goes wrong is when I stare left or stare right and I go off the direction that He's um that He has me going.
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:37.440
Check out the speech, and we'll be right back, and you can tell me what you think.
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:39.519
What's up with the WhatsApps?
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:41.600
How's everybody doing?
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:45.039
Minister Shay, thank you.
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:47.120
Wherever you're at, I don't see you right now.
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:48.960
But thank you for sharing this floor with me.
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:50.639
Thank you for sharing the platform.
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.279
Before I start, I want to ask a question.
00:12:54.639 --> 00:13:01.200
Who in here has used their GPS to arrive at a destination at some point?
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:05.840
You what's your name, man?
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:06.639
In purple?
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:07.679
Tasha.
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:08.399
Tasha.
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:09.679
How you doing, Tasha?
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:15.759
When you put your destination in the GPS, what happened?
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:18.720
It gives you directions.
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:19.519
Okay.
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:25.840
So if I put my destination in my GPS, it's gonna give me direction.
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:30.399
All the way down to the time I should arrive, right?
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:42.080
And if I put my destination in GPS, and the GPS tells me to go left, and I go right, and I don't end up where I should be, whose fault is that?
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.080
It's all my fault.
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:51.519
Now every destination requires direction.
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:57.519
Every destination requires direction.
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:02.799
Now I don't like to teach from theory.
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:08.159
I don't like to teach, I like to teach from my personal experience.
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:16.159
I like to share my victories, my wins, and my losses.
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.600
Because I believe that's where we can connect, we can relate.
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:23.759
Y'all want to go for a walk?
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:25.679
Walk with me.
00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:31.360
Early on in my culinary career, right?
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:34.000
I had a chef pull me to the side.
00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:38.720
He said, Mark, I need you to make a demiglaze.
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:42.960
I want you to take this oil and these shallots.
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:45.759
I want you to sweat it down.
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:51.840
And once this oil in this shallots sweat down, I want you to add this rosemary and this time.
00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:56.960
And a rosemary and a time going, release the aromatics.
00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:02.720
Once the aromatics release, I want you to deglaze the pan with this red wine.
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:04.320
Carbonate.
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:06.879
Carbonacid yon.
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:09.200
Just sounds exquisite, right?
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:19.279
And once you deglaze the pan, pour your beef stocking in, strain the herbs off, finish it.
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:25.200
And what the chef gave me was not just a recipe.
00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:30.159
He gave me a blueprint to an exquisite sauce.
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:39.120
And if I did anything other than what the chef told me, and the sauce came out wrong, whose fault was that?
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:41.440
Not the chefs, not the pot.
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:50.320
See, the problem is not finding the blueprint.
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:53.919
The problem is following it.
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.960
We never have problems finding the blueprint.
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:04.320
We always have problems following it.
00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:19.519
We have some soon-to-be doctors in here, we had the dancers in here, choreographers, future choreographers, future ministers.
00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:28.639
Now, the blueprint in success in lead schools.
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:30.480
Alright, what's the clue?
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:31.600
What should I be looking for?
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:33.919
Right there.
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:35.360
You want to be a minister?
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:36.240
Ask her.
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:38.320
What should I do to become a minister?
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:39.919
How do I follow your footsteps?
00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:41.840
We're not gonna make easy things hard.
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:43.519
We ain't gonna reinvent the will.
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:44.799
You wanna be a doctor?
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:47.120
I'm gonna find me a doctor, I'm gonna study the doctor.
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:52.639
I'm gonna look at the doctor, I'm gonna see what he eat, what he read, what he watching, how he dresses, his mannerisms.
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:58.000
I'm following you to success because I know for what I see that it's capable and it's possible.
00:16:58.159 --> 00:16:59.919
All I gotta do is follow the blueprint.
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.279
Phyllis, don't get mad at me on this one.
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.839
How many times that Amazon package came to your house?
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:14.319
You dumped it right out.
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:19.359
Looked at the pieces, looked at your wife, start putting it together.
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:22.559
About 20 minutes later, she came back.
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:25.599
Now you got the blueprint out.
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:29.920
If you'd have looked at the blueprint first, you'd have been done 20 minutes ago.
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:31.599
How about that?
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:42.079
But like I said, it's never finding the blueprint, it's always following it.
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:50.799
I had a gentleman come to me at work one day.
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:53.279
He said, Mark.
00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:58.079
Well, he didn't say Mark, he said Tyson, because they called me Tyson at work.
00:17:58.319 --> 00:17:59.680
He said, Tyson.
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:02.559
I've been watching your podcast.
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:07.440
He said, I noticed in your podcast that you've been through some things.
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:18.079
He said, in your message, we like to say that you got over it, you got through it, and you want to teach other people and show them how to get through it.
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:21.279
He said, I'm one year in my marriage.
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:23.039
I got two kids.
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:26.640
I got my nieces and my nephews, they look up to me.
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:27.680
My mom.
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:31.039
I want to become a better father.
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:33.839
I want to become a better nephew.
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:36.000
I want to become a better uncle.
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:40.400
Most of all, I want to become a better person for myself.
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:44.559
I slammed the brakes on, turned the oven off.
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:45.440
Come on.
00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:52.640
What he was doing, he was asking me, what's my blueprint to change?
00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:56.160
How did I change my perspective on life?
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.799
First thing I do is pray.
00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:08.640
My number one top is prayer.
00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:11.039
Then it's action.
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:14.480
Because prayer gives me direction.
00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:24.799
Without prayer, and if you act opposite from what you pray for, you can't wonder why you stuck.
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:29.680
You can't wonder why you sitting here like why things ain't working for me.
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:35.119
Because you praying that you can stop drinking, but as soon as you get up off your knees, you go grab one.
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:36.799
That ain't gonna work.
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:46.319
So now he's starting to see things from a different perspective.
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:51.599
There was a time I fell to my knees in prayer.
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:56.640
I said, God, I want to get into real estate.
00:19:57.599 --> 00:19:59.440
I want to change my life.
00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:02.559
I want to leave a different legacy for my children.
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:07.519
I want to show myself that I can do anything I put my mind to.
00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:13.119
I got up off my knees, went and bought a laptop.
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:16.079
Started doing my research.
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:19.039
Start creating a blueprint.
00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:22.400
Bought my first property.
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:24.319
I fixed it and I flipped it.
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:28.640
I bought my second property.
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:31.200
I fixed it and I flipped it.
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:34.400
Bought my third property.
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:36.640
I fixed it and I flipped it.
00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:42.400
Like I said, I'm gonna share my wins and my losses.
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:44.319
Because that's what we can relate.
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.960
But in the process, something changed.
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:52.640
I started taking shortcuts.
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:54.559
I got happy.
00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:57.039
I want to invest in other things.
00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:00.880
The blueprint didn't change, I did.
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:06.079
The blueprint ain't never gonna change.
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:10.960
So those youth in the back, this is the secret.
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:14.880
Basketball player, football player.
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:17.920
Somebody has done it before you.
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:24.640
Anything and everything that you want to accomplish in life, somebody has already laid the game out flat.
00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:26.559
Follow it.
00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:30.079
You believe practice makes perfect?
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:31.759
Scratch that.
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:33.440
Practice to make you better.
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:35.039
There's always room for improvement.
00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:39.279
You need discipline to push you to practice.
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.720
You're gonna practice more than you pray.
00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:45.599
So you gotta have a discipline.
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:47.519
And you have to be determined.
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:52.720
Now understand this.
00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:57.119
Because I don't want you to get this glueprist thing misunderstood.
00:21:59.039 --> 00:21:59.759
The blueprint.
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:03.599
Does not guarantee overnight success.
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:12.799
But it will give you the best opportunity to become the person that God has created you to be.
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:21.599
For the people in the backpack, people in the hallway.
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:24.480
You need to catch somebody turning that corner.
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:30.240
The blueprint doesn't guarantee overnight success.
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:37.359
It just gives you the best opportunity to become the person that God has created you to be.
00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:12.319
Not as a little hole down there, and I ain't falling.
00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:14.799
I'm not gonna fall.
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:21.359
For some reason you got your eyes with, so that means that this message might be just directly to you.
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:24.480
I'm not saying it is, but specifically.
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:29.039
This is what I want you to understand, right?
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:34.799
You have to do your research.
00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:44.160
Do your research, find a blueprint, follow the plan, and fulfill the purpose.
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:47.759
Everybody wants to be successful.
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:50.400
Everybody wants to say they've done it.
00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:52.960
But you have to have a purpose.
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:58.640
Purpose is the platform that success lands on.
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:03.039
Without no purpose, your success is absolute.
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:14.880
So for your research, find a plan, fulfill the purpose.
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:15.599
Thank you.
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:29.599
After listening to this speech, I hope you understand why this weekend meant so much to me, why it was so important to me.
00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:37.599
I learned some things and it's going to make me better.
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:53.759
Um I don't know if everyone was in that same creative space.
00:24:53.920 --> 00:25:00.400
If they were just coming from, you know, personal experiences, did they craft anything?
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:03.279
Did they take their time or what?
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:17.200
Me personally, I am taking my time and I'm crafting this these words so that it does have an impact.
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:19.839
I don't want to hope that it has an impact.
00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:36.960
I'm going to, I am, not going to, I am owning this.
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:41.519
Motivational speaker, keynote speaker.
00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:55.680
I'm here to impact, save lives, help change lives, um lead a legacy, leave a legacy, because I'm leading.
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:01.119
And it felt so good just to have my sons in there to see me in a different light.
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:04.960
It might not even, it might not even sit with them until later on in life.
00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:08.960
They look up and say, yo, my dad was on stage speaking, you know what I'm saying?
00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:31.680
But when I look back and see what God has done, not in a million years, I've never seen me speaking on a stage, trying to feed someone else and give them some words of encouragement.
00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:41.920
And I just thank God because my life could be so in so many other different directions.
00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:45.759
But he wanted more for me.
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:54.640
And um, if you know me, I promise you.
00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:58.319
It's gonna get better.
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:05.759
And um, I'm doing it because I need for what I do count.
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:08.000
I need the things that I do to count.
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:13.920
Not really, not for me, but for you out there in the world.
00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:16.960
I want to impact someone's life.
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:27.680
I want my words to just catch them in a moment where they feel like they might be just ready to give up.
00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:34.720
And something that my and something I say somewhere on this planet make them say, hold up, stop.
00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:36.720
Let me do the research.
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:38.720
Let me find a blueprint.
00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:41.359
Let me follow the plan.
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:43.519
And let me fulfill the purpose.
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:51.680
Because, like I said, any and everything that you want to do and one thing you want to accomplish in life, somebody has already done it.
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:54.319
And um, the success story is there.
00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:56.160
Follow the blueprint.
00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:02.000
I thank y'all for tuning in to another episode of Prayers and Blessings Podcast.
00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:06.960
Um, I have an interview coming up.
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:08.799
I believe it's gonna be great.
00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:11.039
I ain't gonna let the cat out the bag.
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:19.680
But like I said before, thank y'all.
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:24.319
Leave your leave how you feel about the interview in the comments.
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:27.839
Till next time.
00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:31.039
Hug somebody and tell them you love them.
00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:36.240
And they just might hug you back and tell you they love you.
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:37.440
I'm just saying.
00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:38.880
Holl at your boy.
00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:02.720
What's up with the what's ups?
00:00:02.959 --> 00:00:06.160
Welcome back to another episode of Prayers and Blessings the Podcast.
00:00:06.959 --> 00:00:08.400
I'm your host, Mark Tyson.
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:12.800
Before we get started, we're gonna leave a prayer.
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:14.320
As usual.
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:21.600
Heavenly Father, we thank you for another day, another opportunity, another chance to reach out and touch someone.
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:35.039
Another opportunity to share growth, strength, courage, creativity, another chance to talk to someone with you out in front.
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:37.119
Thank you, Lord Jesus.
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:38.000
Amen.
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:42.640
So, how is everybody doing?
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.119
How is everybody weekend?
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.560
This weekend I had an opportunity.
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:54.640
We're gonna get straight to it.
00:00:54.799 --> 00:01:00.159
This weekend I had an opportunity for my first keynote speaker presentation.
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:03.920
And how did it go?
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:07.200
I'm gonna say it went wonderful.
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:09.280
And I'm gonna tell you why.
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:16.079
The reason why I'm gonna say it went wonderful is because I learned something about myself.
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:24.239
I learned so much more about me, and I learned so much more about God.
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:40.480
There were so many speakers there, and it was so many different lanes and avenues that you couldn't get around it.
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:45.439
I had my oldest son there, I haven't seen him in weeks, maybe a month.
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:48.640
He came out, he got something out of it.
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.280
I had my two youngest sons there, my wife, my mother.
00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:01.519
My cousin that I haven't seen in like I haven't seen him in maybe three, four years.
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.640
I was on my way to the event and he called me.
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:08.639
I stopped by and picked him up, and he came.
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:36.159
Now, I was supposed to be going to speak about the blueprint and help with principles and show how to follow the blueprint and explain the blueprint that anything that you ever have done, anything that you want to accomplish, it's already been accomplished.
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.120
Don't make things hard.
00:02:40.319 --> 00:03:00.319
And I worked on my presentation to my best of my ability, to a thorough note, so that I wouldn't just be rambling and that I would have points and impact, and that I would stay on topic.
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:08.719
Because when you're in front of people, you want to be prepared and you don't just want to freestyle.
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:20.000
The funny thing is I hit my points.
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.000
And you couldn't tell me I didn't do a good job.
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:32.479
But when I got off the stage, more than one person told me the same thing.
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:40.159
But they wanted to hear me.
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:43.919
They wanted to hear more about me.
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:47.599
They wanted to get to know me.
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:54.879
They wanted to know how was the blueprint, how has the blueprint changed my life?
00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:02.800
See now I gave perspective on the blueprint and how to follow it.
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:07.840
And how to how success leaves clues.
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:27.519
And I helped them understand that success is not a guarantee, uh overnight guarantee.
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:39.120
But at the end of the day, they wanted to hear more about Mark Tyson and how success has impact, how the blueprint has impacted you, and how do you use the blueprint?
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:49.600
And true indeed, the thought crossed my mind as I was preparing the speech, but then I said, This is not about me, this is about helping someone else.
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:56.879
The moral my story, the moral of this segment is what I'm trying to say is it's growth.
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.120
There's no perfect moment.
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:12.399
You learning anything you do in life, you have to jump out into it and develop and become the person that God has created you to be.
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:24.319
Because if you wait and try to perfect it, it's gonna be perfected to your knowledge and your capability, especially when you never had no experience in these things.
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:35.680
So I have things now that's gonna help me strengthen my speech because as a key, as a keynote speaker, you have this is my signature.
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.079
The blueprint is my signature.
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:54.879
So if God is using me, he's gonna help me perfect who I am and perfect the craft that I'm stepping into.
00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:05.040
I is it's no room for me to take the criticism as a grumpy person and say they don't know what they're talking about, they couldn't do it, or why would they not try?
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:07.439
They think they know this, that, and the third.
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:20.959
You have to be an open-minded individual when you're trying something new.
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:28.399
When you're stepping into a lane, when you're creating your own lane, correct?
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.240
When you're creating a lane for yourself.
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.399
You create your lane, you stay in your lane.
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:52.160
So I'm much more um I I enjoyed the feedback.
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:56.079
I didn't take any feedback in a negative manner.
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:16.800
In actuality, the minute the feedback was coming to me, I understood that the things that I have been through in the blueprint that I didn't have, because I didn't have a blueprint as a parent.
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.160
I didn't have a I didn't have a parenting blueprint.
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:33.439
I didn't have uh this um dynamic with a father-son relationship that I could follow to teach my children.
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:44.240
But what is going on in my life as I'm creating the blueprint, you know, being not being perfect, but being present and learning as I go to become a parent.
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:49.360
So that blueprint right there, I believe I could have touched on.
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:59.519
I believe I could have shared with some of the youth out there to let them know that, okay, if there's not a blueprint for you, then you have to create your own blueprint by the things that you went through.
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:05.120
Because once you create your own blueprint, your blueprint is the blueprint that you pass on to someone.
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:40.159
Because the blueprint that I have right now of the trials and tribulations that I went through, that I'm not leaning on them as crutches, and I'm using them to stand on, and I'm teaching my children, and I'm learning from the things I didn't do with my oldest child that I'm doing with my youngers, my younger children, that's creating a blueprint for my legacy to leave, to lean on, and to live with.
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:52.960
So these are things that I can add to it, and that comes with growth and structure, guidance, understanding.
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:57.759
And I will be leaning more towards that.
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:32.639
It's not that you, it's not that when you're creating your own blueprint, or you're in a situation, because sometimes we're in a situation we don't even realize we're creating our own blueprint, but once you are aware of it, it's not that you have to so much change, excuse me, what you started, but you always can add to it to make you a better person, make you a better speaker, make you a better lawyer, make you a better doctor, make you a better entrepreneur, make you um a better pastor, minister, leader.
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:33.360
You know what I'm saying?
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:39.519
Make you a better person so when you look in the mirror, you don't you don't always take the criticism as somebody's hating.
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:46.159
You take it and you use it to benefit yourself.
00:09:51.360 --> 00:10:04.159
And I don't think I was nervous, I would think I was too busy focusing on trying to impact without fumbling.
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:06.639
I guess it comes with the it comes with the territory.
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.919
You know, you know, first time riding a bike, you're gonna fall until you get up.
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:16.399
You have to do some things and you have to tweak some things and become better at whatever it is that you're doing in life.
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:28.080
Even as me, as my chef um journey, I had to learn certain things, and I had to tweak it, and I had to, you know, that come that just comes with life as all around.
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:44.480
I'll tell you what, I'm gonna let you hear the speech and I mean it, I don't want to, I don't want to say be your own judge, but I just wanted to let you hear what I delivered that day.
00:10:46.960 --> 00:11:01.279
I think it was, I think once I listen back to it, because I know me knowing what I was delivering, I feel like, okay, I could have done out here, I could have said this, or these things, these pockets that I was out of.
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:05.759
But I believe that this is what's gonna make me better.
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:11.519
This is what's going, this is what God wants for me.
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:16.000
Because I honestly believe that I was touching someone.
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.159
I had I had certain people that I looked down in the audience, they was locked in.
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:21.519
And that's what I want.
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.159
I'm there to feed, I'm there to feed.
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:36.159
So I'm gonna go back in, I'm gonna cook up again, and I'm gonna continue until I get the meal correctly to feed the youth, feed the mid, feed feed the adults.
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:40.720
I'm gonna feed them the word that it's gonna help them prosper.
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:45.440
It's gonna help them prepare themselves for a better future.
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:50.879
It's gonna help prepare them and help them become the person that God has created them to be.
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.720
Because I believe that's my purpose.
00:11:55.679 --> 00:12:00.000
Um, one thing I do know about uh God, right?
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:02.159
In my journey.
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:11.759
Anything I'm not comfortable with, anything I don't want to be in, anything that I don't feel like God wants me involved in, he removes me from it and places me where he wants me.
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:16.320
And I could tell it by the by the by the space that I be in when I'm there.
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.399
I know this is where God has me at.
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:27.600
And the only time that it goes wrong is when I stare left or stare right and I go off the direction that He's um that He has me going.
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:37.440
Check out the speech, and we'll be right back, and you can tell me what you think.
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:39.519
What's up with the WhatsApps?
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:41.600
How's everybody doing?
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:45.039
Minister Shay, thank you.
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:47.120
Wherever you're at, I don't see you right now.
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:48.960
But thank you for sharing this floor with me.
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:50.639
Thank you for sharing the platform.
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.279
Before I start, I want to ask a question.
00:12:54.639 --> 00:13:01.200
Who in here has used their GPS to arrive at a destination at some point?
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:05.840
You what's your name, man?
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:06.639
In purple?
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:07.679
Tasha.
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:08.399
Tasha.
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:09.679
How you doing, Tasha?
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:15.759
When you put your destination in the GPS, what happened?
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:18.720
It gives you directions.
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:19.519
Okay.
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:25.840
So if I put my destination in my GPS, it's gonna give me direction.
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:30.399
All the way down to the time I should arrive, right?
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:42.080
And if I put my destination in GPS, and the GPS tells me to go left, and I go right, and I don't end up where I should be, whose fault is that?
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.080
It's all my fault.
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:51.519
Now every destination requires direction.
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:57.519
Every destination requires direction.
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:02.799
Now I don't like to teach from theory.
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:08.159
I don't like to teach, I like to teach from my personal experience.
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:16.159
I like to share my victories, my wins, and my losses.
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.600
Because I believe that's where we can connect, we can relate.
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:23.759
Y'all want to go for a walk?
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:25.679
Walk with me.
00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:31.360
Early on in my culinary career, right?
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:34.000
I had a chef pull me to the side.
00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:38.720
He said, Mark, I need you to make a demiglaze.
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:42.960
I want you to take this oil and these shallots.
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:45.759
I want you to sweat it down.
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:51.840
And once this oil in this shallots sweat down, I want you to add this rosemary and this time.
00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:56.960
And a rosemary and a time going, release the aromatics.
00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:02.720
Once the aromatics release, I want you to deglaze the pan with this red wine.
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:04.320
Carbonate.
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:06.879
Carbonacid yon.
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:09.200
Just sounds exquisite, right?
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:19.279
And once you deglaze the pan, pour your beef stocking in, strain the herbs off, finish it.
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:25.200
And what the chef gave me was not just a recipe.
00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:30.159
He gave me a blueprint to an exquisite sauce.
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:39.120
And if I did anything other than what the chef told me, and the sauce came out wrong, whose fault was that?
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:41.440
Not the chefs, not the pot.
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:50.320
See, the problem is not finding the blueprint.
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:53.919
The problem is following it.
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.960
We never have problems finding the blueprint.
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:04.320
We always have problems following it.
00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:19.519
We have some soon-to-be doctors in here, we had the dancers in here, choreographers, future choreographers, future ministers.
00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:28.639
Now, the blueprint in success in lead schools.
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:30.480
Alright, what's the clue?
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:31.600
What should I be looking for?
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:33.919
Right there.
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:35.360
You want to be a minister?
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:36.240
Ask her.
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:38.320
What should I do to become a minister?
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:39.919
How do I follow your footsteps?
00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:41.840
We're not gonna make easy things hard.
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:43.519
We ain't gonna reinvent the will.
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:44.799
You wanna be a doctor?
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:47.120
I'm gonna find me a doctor, I'm gonna study the doctor.
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:52.639
I'm gonna look at the doctor, I'm gonna see what he eat, what he read, what he watching, how he dresses, his mannerisms.
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:58.000
I'm following you to success because I know for what I see that it's capable and it's possible.
00:16:58.159 --> 00:16:59.919
All I gotta do is follow the blueprint.
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.279
Phyllis, don't get mad at me on this one.
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.839
How many times that Amazon package came to your house?
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:14.319
You dumped it right out.
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:19.359
Looked at the pieces, looked at your wife, start putting it together.
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:22.559
About 20 minutes later, she came back.
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:25.599
Now you got the blueprint out.
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:29.920
If you'd have looked at the blueprint first, you'd have been done 20 minutes ago.
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:31.599
How about that?
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:42.079
But like I said, it's never finding the blueprint, it's always following it.
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:50.799
I had a gentleman come to me at work one day.
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:53.279
He said, Mark.
00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:58.079
Well, he didn't say Mark, he said Tyson, because they called me Tyson at work.
00:17:58.319 --> 00:17:59.680
He said, Tyson.
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:02.559
I've been watching your podcast.
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:07.440
He said, I noticed in your podcast that you've been through some things.
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:18.079
He said, in your message, we like to say that you got over it, you got through it, and you want to teach other people and show them how to get through it.
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:21.279
He said, I'm one year in my marriage.
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:23.039
I got two kids.
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:26.640
I got my nieces and my nephews, they look up to me.
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:27.680
My mom.
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:31.039
I want to become a better father.
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:33.839
I want to become a better nephew.
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:36.000
I want to become a better uncle.
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:40.400
Most of all, I want to become a better person for myself.
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:44.559
I slammed the brakes on, turned the oven off.
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:45.440
Come on.
00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:52.640
What he was doing, he was asking me, what's my blueprint to change?
00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:56.160
How did I change my perspective on life?
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.799
First thing I do is pray.
00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:08.640
My number one top is prayer.
00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:11.039
Then it's action.
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:14.480
Because prayer gives me direction.
00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:24.799
Without prayer, and if you act opposite from what you pray for, you can't wonder why you stuck.
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:29.680
You can't wonder why you sitting here like why things ain't working for me.
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:35.119
Because you praying that you can stop drinking, but as soon as you get up off your knees, you go grab one.
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:36.799
That ain't gonna work.
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:46.319
So now he's starting to see things from a different perspective.
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:51.599
There was a time I fell to my knees in prayer.
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:56.640
I said, God, I want to get into real estate.
00:19:57.599 --> 00:19:59.440
I want to change my life.
00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:02.559
I want to leave a different legacy for my children.
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:07.519
I want to show myself that I can do anything I put my mind to.
00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:13.119
I got up off my knees, went and bought a laptop.
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:16.079
Started doing my research.
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:19.039
Start creating a blueprint.
00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:22.400
Bought my first property.
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:24.319
I fixed it and I flipped it.
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:28.640
I bought my second property.
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:31.200
I fixed it and I flipped it.
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:34.400
Bought my third property.
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:36.640
I fixed it and I flipped it.
00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:42.400
Like I said, I'm gonna share my wins and my losses.
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:44.319
Because that's what we can relate.
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.960
But in the process, something changed.
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:52.640
I started taking shortcuts.
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:54.559
I got happy.
00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:57.039
I want to invest in other things.
00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:00.880
The blueprint didn't change, I did.
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:06.079
The blueprint ain't never gonna change.
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:10.960
So those youth in the back, this is the secret.
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:14.880
Basketball player, football player.
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:17.920
Somebody has done it before you.
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:24.640
Anything and everything that you want to accomplish in life, somebody has already laid the game out flat.
00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:26.559
Follow it.
00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:30.079
You believe practice makes perfect?
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:31.759
Scratch that.
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:33.440
Practice to make you better.
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:35.039
There's always room for improvement.
00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:39.279
You need discipline to push you to practice.
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.720
You're gonna practice more than you pray.
00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:45.599
So you gotta have a discipline.
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:47.519
And you have to be determined.
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:52.720
Now understand this.
00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:57.119
Because I don't want you to get this glueprist thing misunderstood.
00:21:59.039 --> 00:21:59.759
The blueprint.
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:03.599
Does not guarantee overnight success.
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:12.799
But it will give you the best opportunity to become the person that God has created you to be.
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:21.599
For the people in the backpack, people in the hallway.
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:24.480
You need to catch somebody turning that corner.
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:30.240
The blueprint doesn't guarantee overnight success.
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:37.359
It just gives you the best opportunity to become the person that God has created you to be.
00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:12.319
Not as a little hole down there, and I ain't falling.
00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:14.799
I'm not gonna fall.
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:21.359
For some reason you got your eyes with, so that means that this message might be just directly to you.
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:24.480
I'm not saying it is, but specifically.
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:29.039
This is what I want you to understand, right?
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:34.799
You have to do your research.
00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:44.160
Do your research, find a blueprint, follow the plan, and fulfill the purpose.
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:47.759
Everybody wants to be successful.
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:50.400
Everybody wants to say they've done it.
00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:52.960
But you have to have a purpose.
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:58.640
Purpose is the platform that success lands on.
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:03.039
Without no purpose, your success is absolute.
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:14.880
So for your research, find a plan, fulfill the purpose.
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:15.599
Thank you.
00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:29.599
After listening to this speech, I hope you understand why this weekend meant so much to me, why it was so important to me.
00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:37.599
I learned some things and it's going to make me better.
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:53.759
Um I don't know if everyone was in that same creative space.
00:24:53.920 --> 00:25:00.400
If they were just coming from, you know, personal experiences, did they craft anything?
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:03.279
Did they take their time or what?
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:17.200
Me personally, I am taking my time and I'm crafting this these words so that it does have an impact.
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:19.839
I don't want to hope that it has an impact.
00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:36.960
I'm going to, I am, not going to, I am owning this.
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:41.519
Motivational speaker, keynote speaker.
00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:55.680
I'm here to impact, save lives, help change lives, um lead a legacy, leave a legacy, because I'm leading.
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:01.119
And it felt so good just to have my sons in there to see me in a different light.
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:04.960
It might not even, it might not even sit with them until later on in life.
00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:08.960
They look up and say, yo, my dad was on stage speaking, you know what I'm saying?
00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:31.680
But when I look back and see what God has done, not in a million years, I've never seen me speaking on a stage, trying to feed someone else and give them some words of encouragement.
00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:41.920
And I just thank God because my life could be so in so many other different directions.
00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:45.759
But he wanted more for me.
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:54.640
And um, if you know me, I promise you.
00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:58.319
It's gonna get better.
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:05.759
And um, I'm doing it because I need for what I do count.
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:08.000
I need the things that I do to count.
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:13.920
Not really, not for me, but for you out there in the world.
00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:16.960
I want to impact someone's life.
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:27.680
I want my words to just catch them in a moment where they feel like they might be just ready to give up.
00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:34.720
And something that my and something I say somewhere on this planet make them say, hold up, stop.
00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:36.720
Let me do the research.
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:38.720
Let me find a blueprint.
00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:41.359
Let me follow the plan.
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:43.519
And let me fulfill the purpose.
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:51.680
Because, like I said, any and everything that you want to do and one thing you want to accomplish in life, somebody has already done it.
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:54.319
And um, the success story is there.
00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:56.160
Follow the blueprint.
00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:02.000
I thank y'all for tuning in to another episode of Prayers and Blessings Podcast.
00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:06.960
Um, I have an interview coming up.
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:08.799
I believe it's gonna be great.
00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:11.039
I ain't gonna let the cat out the bag.
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:19.680
But like I said before, thank y'all.
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:24.319
Leave your leave how you feel about the interview in the comments.
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:27.839
Till next time.
00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:31.039
Hug somebody and tell them you love them.
00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:36.240
And they just might hug you back and tell you they love you.
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:37.440
I'm just saying.
00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:38.880
Holl at your boy.
