➡ Life will always have challenges, but it’s important not to create more for yourself. Regardless of who or what you might blame, the key to success in America is how you use your time. Stay focused, don’t give up, and dedicate yourself fully to your goals. Celebrations are great, but never let them distract you from your path.

Lessons this weekend for those of you that may not be familiar. I actually turned 43 on Sunday. Yes, I turned 43 on Sunday. Let me give myself a round of applause. What’s going on to everybody that’s jumping into the chat. I turned 43 on Sunday and what I’ve learned is extensive and I had a little bit of time to sit with myself because yesterday I spent the majority of my time right here. Right here inside of my studio working alone. figuring it out making it making it happen and putting things together and what I what I found out about myself as I get older is that I am more focused than I ever have been before and I’m less tolerant than I ever have been before.

Let me say that again for the people in the back. I’m more focused than I ever been before and I’m less tolerant than I ever have been before and the reason that that that is is because I believe that as young guys, a lot of people don’t realize that when you’re in your 20s, you’re still trying to figure it out. You know what I’m saying? A lot of women and this kind of lends into the relationship space. A lot of women don’t really want to ride with you so that they can be the beneficiaries of your greatness.

You have a lot of things that’s being taught online about how you shouldn’t date potential and all of these different things, but you’re still trying to figure it out for yourself, right? Jordan. He says, I just turned 29 man. Listen, you at the beginning of your greatness. Most guys don’t even figure it out until they are in their 30s. So if you start to, you know, really get your life together and figure it out and and don’t get me wrong. I want you to figure it out before that, but literally most of the guys that tap in with me, they’re like, man, I you know what? I figured it out.

I’m no longer simping. I I dodged that bullet. Thank God or whatever, but you start to figure it out by the time you get into your 30s by the time you and your mid 30s heading into 40. A lot of times you’re a lot more stable, but you’re firmly entrenched in the fight, right? You’re firmly entrenched in the fight. Now, obviously again, this is for people that are productive. This is for people that really got it got it together. You know, they they focus. They put away all of the childish games. They’re not caught up in any of the things that’s caught up in, you know, that that society would then try to prevent you from being successful with and their focus and then by the time that you hit your 40s, right? And now, I’m firmly entrenched.

When you first hit your 40s, you’re like, man, I’m 40 like it’s a reality check like you are now. You’re up now, you know, and and some guys they they get a little bit, you know, reluctant to embrace being in their 40s and all of that stuff, but you are now and then at 4142, you settle down a little bit. And at 43, you realize that most of the people and most of the decisions in your life that you’ve made, whether it be financial, whether it be health wise, or whether it be the relationships and the people that you align yourself with.

And I’m talking about networking, a person that you choose to lay down next to every day. It’s going to be exponentially going in that direction. Whether you pick left or you pick right, it is going to exponentially go in one of those directions. At 40, right? In your 40s, when you get to 41, 42, 43 years old, that’s going to be the separation between the men and the boys. It’s going to be separation between the women and the ladies. It’s going to be really, you’re going to have to get it together ASAP because there is no middle.

There will be no middle. You can kind of straddle the fence. You can try to figure it out. Most of the time, people are kind of stuck in their mindsets by the time that they get 40. It’s hard. It’s absolutely hard. And I got some great people that is coming on the show today, including Sheldon Daniels down there in Dallas. I can’t wait to talk to him right after we finish having this conversation. But it is very difficult to change the mind of a person that is older. And literally, you just got to put the information out there.

And then if they take it, they take it. If they don’t, they don’t. It’s hard to get people off of the Democrat plantation. It’s hard to try to train people. Hey, listen, you need to dedicate yourself. It’s hard. That’s why they say train up a child and it’ll never depart from them. It’s difficult to try to convince people to do the thing that’s in their best interest once they get past a certain age. And so you kind of become a little bit more settled in who you are. You become more successful or you become more resentful towards other people that are successful.

When you see people that criticize or get mad or they’re absolutely angry with somebody that may have a difference of opinion than them, you are now seeing the reflection of a person that is stuck at a time where the best days of their life is past them, right? Have y’all ever ran into those people that only talk about whether or not they was good in high school? They just like Al Bundy from Polk High. Hey, man, I have four touchdowns. Hey, man, remember when I hit four or five threes in a row? That’s those type of people.

Those are the type of people, the type of guys, the type of women that say, yo, I had motion or you wasn’t outside during this time. They’re overly critical of the people that are intelligent and decided to make a long term decision instead of a short term. Hey, listen, I’m a part of the end crowd. I’m a part of the crew. We have to change our mindset and the thing that I want to impart to you guys in the beginning of this show and then I’m gonna go ahead and bring up Sheldon. The thing that I want to impart to you guys in the beginning of this show is this.

It’s absolutely this. The decisions that you make today are largely going to play a huge and when I say a massive role for all the others is saying, yo, it’s my birthday. I’m turning twenty nine. I’m turning twenty eight. I’m turning twenty thirty two. I don’t care if you’re turning fifty, you are going to have to definitively, definitively make a decision. This is not Call of Duty. This is not Fortnite. You don’t get to respawn. You don’t get to do it over again. You’re going to have to definitively make a decision on what path you want to take today and it doesn’t mean that you can’t make mistakes or whatever, but you are going to have to firmly entrench yourself and whatever that decision is.

Whatever it is. I mean, you practically have to become a sociopath when it comes to dedicating yourself to success for the guys. Listen, you cannot straddle the fence. I know that they keep telling you when all of these women on Tiktok and online and all of this stuff. Hey, where’s the man that focus on us and then you should listen. She’s gonna be the beneficiary of your greatness as a person that has been married for almost twenty-one years. Twenty-one years. I’m telling you, you need to focus everything you have on whatever it is that you’re supposed to be.

Whatever that purpose is that God has given to you. That is you. You live right there in between them lines. Everything else is extra. That line right there. Right there. That’s you. Don’t deviate from it. Don’t negotiate. Don’t sit here and make concessions. Don’t find yourself hanging out with the people that ain’t going in the direction you listen. I told my daughter the other day, I said, listen less. You know what’s so interesting about life? She said what? I said all of these things that you’re concerned about in high school. She’s seventeen going on eighteen.

I said all of these things that you’re concerned about in high school. Guess what? You’re never going to see most 99% of all of those people that you are having a conversation about or with. You’re never gonna see them again. It won’t even matter. You may be in touch with one or two occasionally. It ain’t even gonna matter. It’s not gonna matter. And it set her off. It gave her this mentality that she had to be firmly entrenched in whatever it is. She thought and this is her at seventeen. It’s the same thing for us. No children out of wedlock.

No no self-inflicted. You’re gonna have enough. You’re going to have enough problems. Just life and you’re gonna start businesses. You’re gonna fail. People not gonna support you. You’re gonna think you gotta figure it out. Somebody gonna lay you off. Life is gonna life and so you can overcome that but you can’t keep having self-inflicted wounds talking about. I’m gonna figure it out tomorrow. That’s over. That’s over. If you want success. Listen, there’s some people that’s gonna blame the system. It’s other people that’s gonna blame the president. It’s other people that’s gonna say all man, it’s because we can get our reparations.

Cool. That’s online chatter and conversation but what I’m telling you is that whatever it is that you find yourself doing and whatever your circumstances is in life. If you are right here inside of the United States of America, the American dream is still alive and well. Whatever you do. Your twenty-four hours. How you spend it is going to absolutely bear fruit or it’s gonna bear a bunch of thorns. You gotta figure out what you’re gonna do and then hit it with it. Don’t deviate. Everything you do has to be dedicated today. You can’t start. Stop.

Figure it out. Keep on going back to school. Either finish or just be a dusty. Finish or be a dusty. And what I’ve realized as a result of turning forty-three years old yesterday is that I am more entrenched and more dedicated than that. I spent the majority of my birthday right here in my studio. Never missing. And yes, we do party. We got a Patreon meetup coming up. Imma put that inside of the Patreon today. We do party but I’m telling you, we do not miss. I don’t care what nobody else is doing. We are 100% going in this direction and it is what it is.

Make sure I hit a like for the algorithm. Subscribe to the channel. We’re turning your notifications. Imma bring up my friend Sheldon. I wanna have this conversation with him shortly. Let me read a couple of super chats and then we’re gonna go ahead and get started with the show. And let me also say that I appreciate all of the birthday love. Everything that you guys did for me. All of the text messages. All of the love. I love y’all. I appreciate y’all. [tr:trw].
