I do want to tell you about something that I think could really help you - there are two main culprits that can destroy your future success. One is ISOLATION and the other one is SELF-DOUBT. The reason it matters today is that we were designed to be in the community. We weren't designed to be alone, we're designed to be around a lot of people.
I've discovered that when you're around other people, it really eliminates loneliness and low self-esteem. Oftentimes, we have social anxiety, and being around other people eliminates a lot of that. Listen, I've worked with a lot of people for a lot of years and I do understand the value of being in a community, being around other people.

20 years ago when my friend, Bob Warren, started mentoring me and coaching me he taught me to listen better. I want to tell you it is difficult! We would go to restaurants and we would talk. I'd be looking around the room to see who was in there, who was coming in and he would say, “listen, you got to focus, you've got to make eye contact with the person you're talking to and not be thinking about what you're going to say next. You need to pay attention to what they're saying because people only remember how you make them feel and you make them feel unimportant when you don't pay attention to what they're saying.
I'm going to tell you, I'll just be very honest and transparent with you that was difficult for me. For a long long time, it was like every time you were talking I was thinking man I got something to say. I can match that i can one-up! I can't wait till they take a breath so I can interject! I want to tell you it takes a lot of discipline and a lot of wherewithal in order to withhold the things that you want to say! Listen, what they say is important!

I want to ask you today, what are some of your goals? What is it that you're trying to accomplish in life? Are you following through with your goals? Are you doing the task every single day in order to get you there?
We can dream but until we write it down and we establish a plan that's all it's ever gonna be as a dream. But when we have goals and we have a strategy by which to get there we can accomplish those things.

I wanted to talk to you about something.
I have found the cure for cancer.
The cure for the cancer is Jesus. That's it. I hope I'm not offending anybody but quite honestly God's word is offensive and some people are not going to take this the way I'm intending it and I'm not intending it to be offensive to you because Word is offensive. I just want to encourage you today to think about it. To think about what you're trying to do in this arena. If we get on our knees before the Lord and we love each other, that's the only thing I think is going to change the bad things happening around us.
At the end of the day when it's all said and done, there's only one thing that matters and that's in our heart. When our heart is made right, we're going to look at people differently.
