Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are last break of the
day on this Friday, and.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Steve's what do you have for us?
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Closing remarks wise today.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Yeah, here's something that I think is very helpful to people,
and it will help you open yourself up to really
what God truly can have for you. And the reason
I'm saying that is because oftentimes we limit what God
can do in our lives simply by the way we
(00:30):
think and simply by our expectations. God has no He's limitless.
You can't put him in a box. You can't put
what God can do for you in the parameters of
your thinking. What you've got to do is you've got
to open up your mind so you can be open
(00:51):
to all of His goodness and what He can do
for you. And I'm saying that to say this because
a lot of times people ask God and only think
about stuff that they can see themselves attaining. Basically, with
your check, there's a scripture that says you have not
(01:12):
cause you ask not. Well, then most people go, Lord,
help me make my rent. And then I have to
ask you, well, don't he always? Why would you not
ask God for a mortgage?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Well? Become a homeowner.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Then here comes the thinking of man when you start
putting in stuff like well, I don't make enough money,
my credit score, I haven't been on my job long enough.
I can't afford that. Therefore, why would I sit up
and ask for that? See, you're knocking yourself out of
(01:48):
so many blessings that God can have for you by
your limited thinking. Because God has no limits, so you
have to open up your mind to start thinking of
things that is in your imagination. Why would you not
ask God for a big house? You don't think that
(02:09):
God got enough sense based on this scripture you have
not caused you asked. Now, most people don't ask because
they don't see no way they can get it. You
don't think that if you ask God for a big house,
you don't think he got enough sense to make a
way for you to.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Get the house.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
You don't think that he knows that you need more
money and that he know how to make a way
for you to make more money. You don't think he
got that part figured out. You think he needs your
help figuring that out. You don't think that he know
that if you got X amount of dollars, your credit
scoring really don't matter.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
You don't think he know that.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
He know all of that, but you've limited to see
what he can do and how he can move in
your life because you won't think big enough.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
That is a book that changed my life.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
The name of the book is called The Magic of
Thinking Big, and it's by David Schwartz.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
It's the Magic.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Of Thinking Big, and I didn't understand this until I
was selling Amway. Amway was one of the greatest periods
of my life because it introduced me to positive books.
It introduced me to self motivation and self help books.
And those are really the only books I read outside
(03:19):
of the Bible. I don't read anything. I don't read novels,
love stories. I ain't got no time for that. But
The Power of Positive Thinking about Norman Vincent Peel, Think
and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. The Magic of Thinking
Big by David Schwartz. I have time to read that
because The Magic of Thinking Big taught me something. It
taught me that it does not require any more brain
(03:41):
power to think big than it does to think small.
It doesn't require anymore You ain't got to grunt. Look,
you can say Volkswagon, or you can say Rose Royce.
It doesn't your brain don't have to shift and burn.
Most safe, you got to throw yourself into something to
(04:03):
say Rose Royce versus Volkswagon. It doesn't hurt more to
say rent or mortgage. It doesn't hurt no more to
say new car than use car. It doesn't hurt more
to say hand me down than it costs than it
costs you to say brand new. If you buy this book,
(04:26):
The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz, it's an
amazing way. It changed my thinking in my twenties, and
so I started thinking big. Once I started thinking big,
I started opening up to the possibilities of God. Because
God is big? Am I not right? God is big?
So why would you get in the way of his
bigness with your small mindedness. See, you're getting in the
(04:48):
way of your blessings by the way you think. You
keep thinking in terms of your paycheck. Get God ain't
in your paycheck. Get out of your paycheck man, Get
out of your current situation. Where you are is just temporary.
God has another place for you. God got a great
life for you, but you got to invite him in
(05:09):
and let him show it to you. Quit wasting his
time with this little bit of man. Get out of
your own way. You are in your way with your
limited thinking. People ask me all the time, man, why
you always at the meetings while you run?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Why don't you just sit down and take your day off?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Because I can't get where I'm going sitting down taking
my days off. I'm about the business of becoming successful
and happy. Now am I successful?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah? Am I happy? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Happier than I ever been? But and I have everything
I need? Can I tell y'all that I don't need
nothing else? But I'm in the wrong side of life.
I just won't. I'm not greedy. I'm not asking you
to give me nothing. I'm willing to work for other
things I want.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I want to.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
See how the other class of people live. I want
to see what that's like. I want to see what
it's like when my grandchildren's children will remember my name
because I left them something, because I created a legacy
that I put money away from my grandchildren and my
children's children. That's what I'm working on. You can do that.
(06:17):
God is capable. Get out your way. This is the
book again, y'all. The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz.
Go By, go By, Just go by it, they change
the way you think.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Just check it out. It's a really really great book.
That was my clothes remark. Y'all have a great U Jim.
I want to get audio because I don't feed that,
so I have somebody. Can you see y'all have a
great weekend, y'all. Lakes.
