00:00 Most people in life don't fail because they aim too high and miss.
00:07 Most people who fail in life, they aim too low and they hit.
00:15 My father told me a story once.
00:18 There was a little boy who went walking with his father.
00:23 And as he was walking with his father in the neighborhood,
00:26 they walked past a home and sitting on the porch or the veranda as you would call it,
00:32 was an older man that had his dog by his feet.
00:38 Trusted dog.
00:39 The dog was just so complacent with life and knew that everything was going to be prepared
00:45 and taken care of for him.
00:47 But the dog was sitting there by his owner's feet and he was moaning and groaning
00:52 like he was just in so much pain.
00:55 And then the little boy said to the owner of the dog, he said, "Sir, what's wrong with your dog?"
01:02 And the owner looked at the boy and the owner said to him, "Oh, it's okay.
01:10 He's just sitting on a nail."
01:13 "Dad, why is he letting the dog just sit on the nail?"
01:20 And the owner of the dog said, "Oh, that's easy.
01:24 It's not hurting enough for him to get off."
01:28 It's not hurting enough for him to get off.
01:32 In this room right now, in life, there's so many people who sit in pain and complain and blame
01:42 and hold on to the past that they don't just say, "You know what?
01:46 Enough is enough.
01:48 I'm getting up.
01:50 I'm pulling all the nails out and I'm going to go forward."
01:53 Who in this room is sitting on some sort of nail?
01:55 Could be a health nail, hands up.
01:57 Could be a financial nail.
01:59 Could be a relationship nail.
02:01 Could be a friendship nail.
02:02 Could be a career nail.
02:04 It could be a nail that's clogging your vision like you just don't know where you're going in life.
02:08 There are all kinds of nails that we're on.
02:10 But guess what?
02:12 Today, my role is to get you to see that you don't have to stay on the nail for the rest of your life.
02:23 Getting off the nail means understanding that all of us, we are linked.
02:29 We came onto this planet.
02:31 We came into this world to do something amazing.
02:33 We came to do something great.
02:35 However, sometimes circumstances come into our lives that sometimes test us, that challenges.
02:40 Sometimes we come in a situation where we have something happen to us and we go, "Oh, no.
02:46 I can't go any forward.
02:48 Oh, no.
02:49 It can't happen."
02:50 And then we blame.
02:51 We blame the color of our skin.
02:53 We blame our race.
02:54 We blame our religion.
02:55 We blame our age.
02:56 We blame the fact that some of us have hair and some of us don't have hair.
03:00 So, here's what I want to say is that there have been so many successful people, successful
03:04 people who have been on nails.
03:06 They've been just nailed down for years and years and years and years.
03:10 But what happened to them?
03:11 Why were they able to make that transition from being on a nail to becoming successful?
03:16 What did they do?
03:17 What do they share?
03:19 We all have it.
03:20 The question is, are you really ready to use it?
