the hospital still they just did emergency surgery on him the other day 2 o'clock in the morning so you know when when you know you know people always talk about when you have children and this for lot of people but when you have kids and had to explain this to my adult kids cuz they like ain't call you cuz was like bro once you can't get can't get y'all off my mind you know what I'm saying like don't care how old you are still just need you to text me or call me in the morning just tell me you good cuz I'm I'm constantly thinking about y'all like it's not day where I'm like forgot about jayen forgot about Jada you know what I'm saying so I'm like get y'all I'm not y'all child so y'all don't think about me like that but wake up every day no do think about you like that okay well no more pray for me all pray for me all I'm still praying for you I'm still you the work of progress but God God is good yeah God is good so I'll be honest you know it's the same with the church and so there was time where it was like yo my life was not my own it was so much going on and had to be there because you know here's what people don't realize man you know people people snap you know what I'm saying like people snap like we look at people like they strong home but people snap and sometimes people know people personally one day they was good next day they was in state of depression that was like you know that could take you either way you know and so this was time where not just for the kids but had to really be there for the parents and like regularly you know what I'm saying when you lose somebody or when your child can't walk whatever whatever you know they can't talk they don't know they you know what I'm saying they name it's like okay that's one part but the part of you being there for the parents and really making sure that they're healthy and they're well you know and lot of people get the privilege of coming to funeral and leaving yeah you know what I'm saying they get to go to the repass love you miss you whatever they don't know that you got to stick with and stay with especially for us with TJ it's like that's the TW man and so you lose your twom man you

when you hear money and how to make money think the challenge with Jamal that have with Maul is he telling y'all but y'all looking for principles and y'all Miss what he's saying it's his mindset yep you know I'm saying like that's where money starts like money don't start with money money starts with your mindset so it's like when get on the flight I'm looking at each class and I'm like yo this CL this plane is full like it's full yep and it's full because in each section each person made decision on where they wanted to be facts you feel me and so one group was like can't fly 7 hours and 50 minutes sitting all the way upright you know what I'm saying they like got to lay down you know what I'm saying and so we had couple that passed us and de was like why they say something to you like she's like you must be friendly or something cuz they ain't say nothing to nobody else was like am and so they were like how is it was like how's what it was like how is it sitting in first class and was like it's dope like you could lay all the way down it was like yeah we thinking about on the next one we thinking older white couple it's like yo we thinking about doing it the next time was like like yeah you should you know what I'm saying like you should do it you know what I'm saying but Dei was just tripping because they were asking about the experience and was like yo it's want to demystify it for you the same way you choose to sit in the back and you make it happen is the same way you sit in the front and make out but like you could sit in the back and you can visualize it like you could see yourself buying ticket for and if you fly International and you pay to go International you paying way more than what you were like want you to get what I'm saying people fly International economy and fly National economy you feel me like you got to hear what I'm saying the money you spent to fly International interational economy economy is what you would pay to fly first class first class exactly if you were it's mindset domestic you know what saying so you thinking you doing it because that's what it cost no you're doing it because that's your mindset so you going to do economy anywhere you go even though it costs more to go economy inter internationally you still going to pay economy because your mindset is economy and you'll find way to come up with the economy money to go International but you can't find the money to go is that it's that right side of the Min mentality they always looking for the deal what's the what's the and it ain't really savings you think about it it's not saving now if you got to sit up for seven and half hours and you can't get water when you want water or you waiting on somebody and so just want you to understand I'm not in the first class second class third class it don't make me no difference I'm just saying if you tell your mind I'm going to do economy then everywhere you go you're gonna do economy bro promise you didy said when we got to the hotel listen to me y'all when when got the when the travel agent did the hotel for me they were just saying like yo how much are you willing to pay and was like yo don't want to pay nothing don't want to pay anything like don't get it twisted like I'm not trying to take money out of my account and you know what I'm saying said but do me favor like you're you're helping me so need you to think the way would think don't think the way you would think no had to say that Mar because when rondelle did my lights just told him to go do my lights for me he did the light he bought the cheapest lights the fixtures you could buy like and Dei was like who bought these I'm like rondelle bought him sound like God who told you you was nak you know what I'm saying I'm like I'm like rondelle bought him and so had to explain relle okay get what you doing but you're using your money to buy my light fixtures but gotta pay you back so you're going to buy light fixtures with your mindset cuz he was like it was money was like it's not money cuz I'm giving you the money back so it wasn't money you didn't lose nothing you you didn't you weren't spending your money you spending my money but you went and spent your money so you went and bought me the cheapest thing that you could find that looks good cuz somewhere in your mind but the cheaper ones was the chandeliers yeah yeah what do you call is that's what you call those those yeah so he bought those for told him go ahead was like your mom mean can you go gra cuz he handyman so yeah know but you didn't tell him like what's sty no because I'm thinking you looking around well black ain't necessarily looking around but his house right and his mind he not seeing I'm seeing you saw the couch you know what I'm saying you saw the look so go get something and so had to explain around like do me favor he bought me paint he bought the whatever he didn't buy the Benjamin or whatever it is like he bought the paint that he value right I'm like yo it matters like yeah you could put it on and whatever but the it's not about expensive the the higher quality because you could buy higher quality sometimes you can get it Memorial Day Fourth of July so it's not always expensive but it's quality that is whatever but you got to remember though and I'm just doing this for my blue collar you know people yeah lot of people get they they they they don't really look at the quality yes they look at the savings yes and they they feel good when it's if you ever maybe your parents ain't going to say no names but have you ever heard person say like like they don't really talk saved saved whole 50% and it's it's the mindset and they mark it up 50% to take it off I'm saying because that is their marketing strategy cuz they put that under receipt no question you save like on your total savings with that Koger card you like said it was already they they put the price up little bit so so what I'm saying one of things had to learn was if your brain can get you economy then your brain can get you economy Plus or your brain cuz see what's happening is you don't get it once you set the standard then what your body does and your mind and yeah and please don't cuz know can see people already in the com we we're not saying literally first class coach whatever cuz everybody has their own thing you can sit and coach and ball out and have yacht if you just they're your thing know plenty of people who thing is not first class that's fine but we're talking about in life the things that you actually I'm talking about first class yeah that's what I'm saying for what for you just want to make sure people know you get people like know some I'm talking about Mega millionaires would be like don't like sit in first class waste of money you know what I'm saying it's just not they thing right but they you know got other things that are thing so we're saying whatever your thing is yeah cuz I'm even saying like yo if you talking Transportation just plain Transportation for sure bro you might be doing better with Honda than you are some other vehicles like like if you get Honda you get the right Honda like in terms of how the distance is going to take ,000 miles we just saying whatever you thing that's that's what he's saying wanted to catch that cuz want them specifically to think we talking about first class yeah but I'm just saying Honda could be first class if you talking about Transportation because it's going to give you better quality than like bro we had BMW had to get rid of the BMW because the way they made it don't want to go through all that but it it's Gonna Keep tearing up Honda bro you ain't gonna have no problems with Honda so that's what mean by first class Honda in cars if we not on design quality-wise it's the best it's one of the best vehicles that they make so when we talking about paint I'm not talking about the cost of paint I'm talking about there is quality that makes it first class that is some paints that's inexpensive that it's inexpensive but it's cheap there's some things that are like Honda is phenomenal and it's price reasonable everything that's first class don't they don't always overcharge you for it you feel me so but what you have to understand understand is if you if and want you to get money now how you make money how you live blissfully how you take care of your health everything it's mindset so for somebody to go I'm to buy this dollar menu you could also go buy organic fruit the the the fruit doesn't buy itself or the cheap stuff don't buy you have to buy it but what you're doing is your mindset is saying it's $150 it's $2 can afford it somebody else is looking at organic and going it's $4 can afford it and so then once you go you can afford it this is the problem want y'all to catch it here go the biggest problem once you go you can afford it whether it's $2 or $4 then you as person begin to do the things that are required to actually go pay for it so the McDonald's that you paying $2 for you still got to pay for that it ain't free but what you do is go can afford $2 and so then you go out you might work nin to-5 you may be what is that thing called shoot telemarketer right you may go and work as flight attendant like like once you say this how much it cost it's not what it cost is important yeah it's you activate something in you that makes you do what you do so you can actually go do it and here's what I'm saying I'm saying since you're going to do something anyway why not do the like don't make choice make the choice right so choice for me is could I'm trying to think of something that could do like could do research but I'm not to be that good at doing research so if I'm only thinking about paying $2 then I'm gonna go do research but if I'm thinking yo want Dey to live got to pay for my kids college cash got to pay for my kids college different decision I'm going to sit down and go different decision we not making decision I'm making the best decision what's the best decision the best decision is Eric Thomas on the microphone phone that that's not decision when you talk about Eric Thomas the best decision Eric can make is somewhere where he speaking somewhere he's counseling somewhere he talking to people because can do this for the next five hours so what I'm trying to get you to see is when you lower the cost you also lower your choice wow you're lowering your choice and so instead of you doing be doing the best version of you you doing twoo version of you but when you sometime go $4 then you like if gota pay $4 I'm going to be the best version so want y'all to understand something when go jaylen's coming out with clothing line he need and Jada needs master's degree and then Jada needs to go to California so she can get license there's reason why my daughter went to California don't know if you know why she went but it was the best choice what do you mean by that Eric when you go to California and get license you could practice anywhere you come to Michigan and you pass you can only practice in couple States so Jayla didn't go to Cali cuz she want to be at the beach she went California because she saying if do this one and pass for the rest of my life can go wherever want to go if do it in Michigan and decide one day want to go to California as an adult got to take this test all over again so don't want to take the test multiple times want to take the want the best choice so I'm saying you just have to be careful because sometimes when you bring your standards down you also bring you standard down want to say that again cuz want to make sure you're not missing it I'm not saying you're bringing your standard down I'm saying you are bringing you down because you're going I'm sitting in the back and you're not sitting in the back some of you not sitting in the back because you want to sit in the back you're sitting in the back because you felt like can afford to sit in the back well you can afford to sit wherever you want to sit but you have to decide that you want to be the best version of you before we got here yo I'm I'm doing the 365 devotional the audio for October that's the best use of my time not me cleaning baseboards you got something wrong with baseboard absolutely not and de might debate whether that's the best you see not don't know call right now I'm say what she think the best use of your time now I'mma say she probably would think it's the best use of my time but her being OCD she knows it's not the best use of my gift yeah she knows when clean baseboard it still ain't clean you feel what I'm saying she still know she like you didn't clean the bathroom can't tell you clean the bathroom so what had to realize was yo you can clean the bathroom and make this person what's the word I'm looking for y'all immediately happy like you satisfy her desire but you know bro if you go speak you can pay you can get Molly made out in this Joker in Michigan that there you can get somebody who do that for living to come in here and knock it out so again just want to make sure when we talk money you don't get us Twisted I'm not even on money I'm just saying you make an average choice you lower to go can afford that then you lower everything else about you want to go to opposite where just to make sure people understand because there's situations where you have stopped doing something because of bad experience all right let's play true for dare for minute can you name every subscription you're

US Airways bro end up stuck in the airport like they delayed missed the connection bro there ain't no Hotel no nothing they left me stuck in the airport slept in the airport had to weet like it was crazy experience was like y'all never fly USA you will never get another dollar from me again yeah don't care what the price is if it was the cheapest ticket will never fly that again I've never flown on that again so I'm just saying for you if you're looking at it like you might if you're not connecting with he said it was clear but if you're not want you to think about you stop some things which means you have the ability to open up other things you see what I'm saying you follow what I'm saying absolutely so haven't flown that flew Spirit one time and realized that they added about 40,000 fees for my extra bag I've never flown Spirit you see what I'm saying so because of had I'm like can't do that did South last one or two times was like yo need seat like what is going on like I'm in line to get can't do this we fly Delta and I'm not don't know that Delta is the best I've not looked at rankings but my experience with Delta every time has we we are you get what I'm saying my experience at Delta has been different than every other Airline Delta just started back going to Barbados told last week praise God we booked our flight Del wait that's why that's why wasn't interested in going cuz had to take couple other Airlines and was like yo this ain't and with them it was always I'm I'm calling out American Airlines bro they're the one that American JetBlue would go Jet Blue we got to go through New York which is just sometimes just not cool American fort ladale Miami bro and they overbook every single flight every flight so it's like you scrambling at the last minut not me we got seat but now you can see them scrambling was like yo don't want to do that Delta we booked our flights bro immediately Delta going and where Delta go from Atlanta they go from Atlanta come on bro book fight you see what I'm saying so I'm just saying like there's three four five airlines that we cut completely out of our life because like that's not where we belong we not doing that I'm not saying whatever it's just not for us Delta works so for for somebody out there you have stopped something and position yourself in some other area let's keep doing that same thing in other areas of your life find the thing that works and keep that's why said it's not money well let me ask youo well what comes first maybe you can speak to this the chicken or the egg right like got the like went to school maybe graduated high school got the job I'm police officer get paid now this is what can afford right like so y'all are like you're saying it as if I'm making this Choice and then I'm going to find out what job I'm going to work in order to fulfill that but lot of people it's the other way around right like said which came first chicken or the egg is like went to to school yeah but that's it paid 65,000 it PID 7,000 year look at my bills look at how much my kids got to have to do their Sports and look at this my wife make her money and then we look at it all together and we go all right this is how much we have for vacation and this is what it cost and that's that's it but said something that was so deep to me just want to make it more practical for our you know people listening like okay hear what y'all saying should be flying first class should living I'm not saying I'm not even saying you should be flying first class I'm saying you know what mean Rel metaphorically I'm saying think group thinking has messed us all up and the one thing that Maul said that said to jayen me and Jaylen talked yesterday and was like yo do me huge favor bro do me huge favor how much does it cost to be you come on and here's what asked them said before we even go there who are you who are you said who are you jayen because don't even think don't think the qu real question for you right now cuz for me it is how much does it cost to be me yeah think the real question though is Jaylen who are you how much does it cost to be ET don't know mean know but don't know or about about 5,000 month about five grand but I'm saying for real so had to bro bro when tell you bro had the greatest conversation man I've ever had this year my boy LD his daughter Ania she called me and said Uncle said what's up she said you think should go to college and was like man I'm so glad you called me and asked me said because 90% of the world they just going to college for nothing said got got said let me tell you something don't think you should go to college and she said okay why you say that said cuz you just told me you don't like math you don't like biology you don't like chemistry that's all you do see what I'm saying like you was real with me you told me you don't like this you don't like this and you said you don't want to be doctor and bro trust me always knew what she on because in the culture it's got to be doctor you go to Oakwood bro like Oakwood ain't football basketball Oakwood number one be doctor that's it you know what I'm saying Mo can name bunch of them they all went to Oakwood to be doctors and that's the thing or lawyer whatever so was like yo I'm going to be real with you if you don't want job that requires you to have license lawyer doctor engineer she said want to be an entrepreneur said look we good said here's what want you to do though yeah do want you to pick where you would have went to college and want you to go get an apartment there said don't want you to stay at home don't want you to stay at the crib cuz Joseph had to get from around his dad his brother like you can't just be the crib but figure out where you want to go to college cuz you do need friend group and just go get an apartment see if they let you on the dorm without paying for tuition and just get in the dorm like just ask they might let you get in the dorm without even and so for me it was like that's crazy I'm living in the DM don't go here just be you feel me but just said to my son was like yo the biggest problem we have don't even know if what you picked is what you want to do don't even know just know somebody told you you got to go to college somebody told you you got to so it's bunch of group thinking so who are you and so he was like no dad design is my thing like eat sleep drink clothes like this is what love was like okay good so you gonna be doing this for the next 30 years he's like absolutely was like okay get bet how much does it cost to be you he was like okay what you mean by that said like 100,000 month easy but which mall is phenomenal yeah was like first of all Jay can tell you how much it cost to be you but you can't tell me know how much it cost to be you know what your bills are but do you know how much it cost to be you he's like no and was like so let's start here what do you need to be you yeah what do you do you need to eat how many day times day you need what do you need to eat I'm not tripping if you want to eat a5s all day but if person wants to eat A5 that's good life decision if you want to eat A5 different decision that you have to make so your mother might go that cost too much sweetheart why are we own money we should be on choices yeah like that's what want people to understand when said first class bro we not talking about to fly first class and not to fly first we talking about choices and told y'all there's reason why fly first class now Dey got on my head about it cuz didy was like no don't agree with you and was like what do you mean you don't agree with me she was like you said you want us to sit together so we could talk we we ain't talking the way want to talk and was like you right do get on the flight talk to you before it take off we pray together then once we take off lot of times do be in my own Zone pray before the flight yeah pray before every flight really yeah how you pray with me don't fly with you fly with him go we don't even fly together don't even sit next to CJ had no flight just sat next to you the other day when coming back from Toronto okay you was behind hey it was me didn't pray for him that's different no no prayed for him he was sitting behind us though yeah so me and Dey didn't pray for him just didn't include him in the prayer cuz he was behind was right no was to the side we pray for him and you know the Bible doesn't tell us to call everybody that we pray for and tell we pray exactly it wait yeah it don't say that yeah so we pray for you do you pray before get on the plane like if call you like I'm about to fly okay 1,000 and what do say what what and always ask you what you land it absolutely all the all the time why cuz if something happened to y'all it's about to alter my life so I'm like okay let it we good you just did that was it London or something you just sent message like yo let me know yeah when you make it yet that's it cuz I'm like if y'all don't make it something going to happen to me if y'all to make it so I'm just saying you know lot of times people listen and take stuff the wrong way I'm saying every human gets to make their choice I'm saying most of you don't make the best choice you make others choices yeah you and she was brave enough to go Uncle don't want to make my mother's Choice who went to Oakwood don't want to make my father's Choice who came to Oakwood like don't want to make that choice want to be an entrepreneur and so I'm like all right bet so you need to take this assessment we need to figure out who you are so she said something deep she's like is the assessment going to tell me who am said no what it's going to do is tell you what your Tendencies are and then you can put this information in chat GPT and it's going to give you list of and then from there need to kind of figure out so just want to make sure don't know what we name in the podcast but don't get it twisted on the first class I'm telling you if you want your marriage to be better if you want your money to be better if you want your ministry to be better it doesn't get better just because of money or because you trying to save or because you you have to make choices and not just choices you have to make the best choice so when we at Michigan State of course we were at Michigan state was it was was it good to us it was great for us but the better choice is to run our own company let me tell you something because some of you want to be entrepreneurs and you're not built to be an entrepreneur listen to me very closely promise you if the better choice was for us to still be at Michigan State see would have been like we still need to be at Michigan State University and we would have stayed there listen to me quit Michigan State long before quit I've been quit was like see we need to get out of here and he like not now and then he was like go talk to the mentors and wouldn't talk to Dr June wouldn't talk to Dr Curry wouldn't talk to Rodney and everybody said do not leave until you have this yeah it's get the choice you want to make but you leaving right now is not the best choice so crazy dog we really left like you might think like we had it the side hustle built up crazy yeah not at all but think what people don't realize like we just going to have to figure it out yeah what people don't realize is that they think that when they making choice or decision that and it's my blue collar people right the 95 talking about that decision they only see the the effect of the decision today not realizing that yeah you see the effect of the decision today but the implication of the decision has long-term effect that you can't see it's that future thing that you can't see and think that if people was able to look into the future and just ask theirself how will this decision affect me not just today because today you could deal with it but in the future you can't deal with it like in the future it's going to be harder it's going to compound over time and so think lot of people don't look at it ain't talking about first class right first for me if go to if go ride coach for eight hours would have got off that plane and you know cuz of my hips and my back would have got off that plane and then when I'm speaking it would have affected the speaking now on stage cuz would have been in so much pain which would have affected your wife it would have affected that glow man that glow come on but lot of people just don't see it man and think that that was instrumental for me like ever since and you go back to what you was talking about just knowing what you want in life yeah so let me do so let's again yall know my job is to make this practical cool so you said 17y old little mama cool she got her whole life ahead of her need you to talk to the people that say I'm 35 I'm 40 you right didn't make the choices that allow me to provide for my family in the way want to provide or do the things want to do now what you know what I'm saying like talk to them that's like yo okay cool hear got you right after you finish I'm telling you was 17 and made choice to be mailman nothing wrong with it looked up and went okay this is the life that I've been and it's good exactly what want so you're talking about now we're talking about hindsight now you know what I'm saying but how do you do it in theid back and got 30 grand credit card debt right you can't go but you can't go back in the past what's done the reason why you in the position you in today is because of what you've done for the last 10 to 15 years you have to make shift you got to say okay cool matter of fact you just need to say leave the to pass everything you've done you need to just right now start working on the future you need to go back and be aware what want my life to look like one thing found out is that if you don't really take the time to to to paint the picture of what you want your life to look like you're never going to get there you're never going to work towards that direction and that's 90% of people they just get up and they just live life whatever life throw at them and and they don't even realize there's certain there's certain group of us that have literally said this is what want my life to look like want to be able to travel these places even though can't afford to go to these places right now still want to be able to travel to these places one day all right Jamal how am going to get there can't get there just by getting there my job ain't going to never get me there have to make decision on what am what shift am going to do what other job am going to do what other investment am I'm going to do that's going to allow me now to travel the way that we see us traveling if you did that in every area of your life what would your life look like whatever it was you did it it it just think about that dog just think about if you literally sat back and said man know live in in this two bedro apartment right now and and for this moment there's nothing wrong with this two bed room apartment but what if said want to live in in 10,000 foot house what would that look like and if you really set in that vision of that 10,000 foot house and then you reverse engineered and said okay now what does it take for me to get there what will happen like literally most people though they don't believe that that Vision that they matter of fact most people don't even come up with the vision first off but if they do come up with the vision they don't even believe that the vision is for them or they don't believe that that's even practical it can happen or was looking at your post that you made that was great post that you made with your children in in in in Paris and you was like you know how your mom said that you know people like us don't go to Paris people like us and now you been there and live there and been there many times just saying but that's the mentality where people even say People Like Us don't fly first class yeah people like us don't in this type of house and you got what's the shift that make you say no people like us do and if people like us haven't done it historically then I'm going to be the first to make people like us not to cut nobody but think Maul and you just just want to see really slow it down that is 100% step one start thinking that am that person you know what and and and some of it has to be and this may not sound like consolation prize but I'm saying even if you start at 4 something 50 something developing that mentality and at least being able to pass it to your kids to be able to have going into that next Generation age really matter does age really matter here it is I'm sitting up and me and Camille was sitting there talking bro and we just talking about even speakers and was looking and was like man when we was in London said man said remember seeing that picture of you and Jeremy Jeremy was probably about like 12 13 years old like man Jeremy been speaking for long time he been speaking ever since he he's homeless I'm looking at you you talking about you speaking to the mayor and doing this and doing that didn't start speaking till was 40 years old doesn't matter never had person come up to me after got off the stage and said man what took you so long yeah yeah everybody just come off and say man bro you blessing it's so it doesn't age don't matter time frame don't matter it's all about bro you matter and it's about you coming up with what you want hey said going share y'all probably heard this before but when when Tamisha was pregnant with Jordan I'm I'm just really stuck on the mindset mall we were living in Canal Club Apartments over there and bro from mul you talk about Vision like did not have reason just said don't want my kid born in an apartment just said that bro when tell you like had no plan no strategy was just like yo the apartment is cool being Tamisha love the little two bedroom joint Little Pond over there we got some ducks flying by bro it was beautiful for us just something about me just don't want my son born in an apartment and this the part that want people to hear what I'm saying Mall nothing changed in my income okay nothing Chang that's what I'm trying to say immediately here's what I'm saying that's it somebody came to me within Tamisha maybe she had been like seven eight months pregnant we're still in the apartment don't have plan yeah somebody came to me and says hey we have house that is available you can rent it out for the same amount of money that you paying and rent right now for I'm just talking about manifestation and vision like I'm going all the way back nothing changed so saying just the fact that you start thinking differently you open the atmosphere for things to happen differently not differently not happen things differently to happen as you see it you see it can we do something man cuz it's the last quarter bro can and and you when you brought up about the cost of you and the future cost think people going to pass by that and they don't understand that that's really dog when when had people you know write out the current cost of you that's just for awareness but then had them write out the future cost future cost and the reason why had them write out the future cost because all was trying to get people to do is write the vision and make it you literally bro like can create it and write it down you will this is the last quarter you will create like can everybody that's watching this just take the time out and mean this is so pivotal take the time out and write down what you want your life to look like like it then write it though but see and think because got two groups of people you got the one group that just write it out and it's like game for them it's like we playing game no like literally if you had God right here right now saying son daughter tell me what you want write it down you remember when you when you kid and you wrote down your Christmas list write this out write your Christmas list right now write your vision list write out what you want your life don't worry about how much it cost yeah don't worry about where you gonna get the money from don't worry about can't afford I'm in debt I'm behind I'm whatever don't worry about it yeah write down every single thing how you want you and your spouse and your children's life to look like and pretend like you giving that list to God because real talk you really are are and you really believe when you was kid and some of y'all out here don't want to write the list out because you don't believe it's going to happen you don't believe God going to get you that but you believe Santa Claus was gonna get you that that GI Joe with the kickstand you know what I'm saying you thought that you would believe that and Christmas morning you I'll take it further don't don't take it to kids take it to adults you you play the lottery you believe that you could hit the lottery bought lottery you play on the plane you on the plane flying with somebody you don't know you believe bro it's so why my cousin Bob had the stroke right can't remember nobody's name it's y'all gotta be careful man he can't remember nobody name he can't remember his address he can't even remember his name sometimes but for some reason every time stop at gas station he could remember that he needs to get out the com by scratch off no man been buying scratch off I'm just saying but you remembering the things that you do that's right that's right he's literally that that he did much that he going right back to just scratch house mean my man but I'm saying but you you said it you believe in that more than you believe in you you said it you think you put up the post and saw it and was like Dam that's true that boy he was like you saying you ain't got no faith or you worried about your faith but you hopped on plane on you don't know my man you don't know if he have bad day you don't know if if they check the the engine like that you fly was looking other day was like you know we was coming back from Paris and was like DG we are 40,000 ft in the air easy over the dead middle of the ocean miles hour watching in mle can nothing I'm not even postive that can happen from that I'm not say I'm not even remotely stressed me and Trey on there dying laughing watching movie like ain't we don't know who up front bro we just had plan the other day they was on their way from to Turkey from Seattle the pilot died mid Midway flight in Flight bro they didn't got rid of man that's why could that's what bugged me out about helicopters when me and cace helicopter ain't been back on since cuz was like yeah like my man how is your health it's only one one it was us two and one and he was like if bro have little just can't do nothing for it promise you not in the helicopter in like might beov put us down 405 on the plane seen couple movies but on the helicopter I'm like that look like you really got to dry that you see what I'm saying so but to your point you do have faith yeah you do believe that things are going to be okay but you don't believe it for your own life and you put more energy into others and what could possibly happen through luck or through somebody else's tent somebody yeah no and that's the part that's crazy bro no no no the opposite tell you this morning bro I'm the opposite don't believe nobody to do nothing for me no so I'm just saying even want to help people who have that mentality cuz probably more people have the mentality of I'm going to let you be blessing in my life that I'm gonna be to it so if you're gonna do that cool but like do it right don't do it where how do say it don't do it where you're not participant in it like you just hoping they you people used to say that one of the difficult things about playing with Michael Jordan is that they was watching Michael Jordan while they was playing playing with Michael Jordan they would be watching him like so Mike out there imagine you I'm Mike you on my squad you like third you the three or the four and while I'm shaking and baking and dunking you sitting there watching me shaking and baking and dunking hey you not even you're not even helping me like you literally they said there would be players on both sides that was like amazed at Mike and they sitting there in the game but they watching Mike do his thing in the game and instead of playing in the game right so want to give you three things number one tomorrow's point shouldn't matter but it does so if you 40 50 60 however you are go online and put in 60 year olds that didn't blow up until they was 60 years old KFC 50 year old can't figure it out 40 not but 50 don't lose your thought side note said man it's crazy just realized I'm somewhere between CJ and Mr Quinny it it kind of sucks too cuz look let me say something car hold on you got to me on this don't lose your point I'm going somewhere got my point I'm good bro was like somewhere and somebody was like Mr Quinny and was like don't call me that like that's crazy but then it was like 17y old was like Hey CJ was like look too much dip on your chip you know where you you don't know where you want to be you don't know where
