WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.800 Hey, hey hey hey family, I hope you are doing great, let's see how this video goes, I can 2 00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:18.200 see that autofocus is all over the place, and let me try and stay really still, oh my 3 00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:22.820 apologies I'm just working on a new camera system and this morning it looks a little 4 00:00:22.820 --> 00:00:29.520 bit bananas, I'll mess with it shortly but check this view out, boom, this is the church 5 00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:33.320 of the good shepherd, I'm here with a couple of our crew who are actually in the assistance 6 00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:41.880 for success life coaching, so we've got Kiri and Aude there, whoop whoop, which is primo, 7 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:49.360 I'm 5 minutes ahead of schedule, so I'm just a little bit early, but check this place out, 8 00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:56.480 this is an ultimate historic building, but part of the deal is if I'm in here, I've got 9 00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:01.760 to be out of here well before 9, so it's kind of epic that we get to go in here, not 10 00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:06.540 even allowed to take photos in here normally, so I'm a little bit on the hooked up side 11 00:01:06.540 --> 00:01:13.840 of things because part of our crew are on the crew that look after this, that run this 12 00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:18.160 place, so awesome to see you guys this morning, great to see you, let's check this bad boy 13 00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:27.920 out, I'm going to speak this morning about, ok so this, check this out for a key, this 14 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:33.920 is the key that you use to unlock this church, look it's flippin massive, it's a massive 15 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:39.800 key and this morning I want to be sharing with all of us a massive massive key, alright 16 00:01:39.800 --> 00:01:45.600 so massive key, say massive key, somebody please say massive key, ah that's awesome 17 00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:54.320 I've got a pretty legitimate crew here this morning with me, now I'm going to just slightly 18 00:01:54.320 --> 00:02:01.360 adjust myself, I know I was testing the lighting but I don't think it's going to quite work 19 00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:12.160 that way, so boom here I go, adjusting myself slightly on the fly, boom we're going to talk 20 00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:15.640 about discipline this morning, we're going to talk about the power of discipline, love 21 00:02:15.640 --> 00:02:23.920 you guys and so cool, alright boom massive key and here's the massive key that I'm going 22 00:02:23.920 --> 00:02:29.360 to be sharing with us all this morning, it's about the power of discipline, now the book 23 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:36.080 of Proverbs is absolutely jam packed full of just phenomenal goodness especially in 24 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:43.080 the context of discipline and Solomon, he wrote the book of Proverbs, so the word Proverbs 25 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.760 it means training for reigning, that's what the actual word Proverbs means, training for 26 00:02:46.760 --> 00:02:51.580 reigning, so Solomon's given us all these keys for how we can rule and reign like kings 27 00:02:51.580 --> 00:02:57.520 in life, now we are called to rule and reign like royalty, come on, that's who you are, 28 00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:02.680 that's what you're created for, you're created to rule and reign and so Proverbs is the handbook, 29 00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:08.560 Proverbs is the handbook written by a king, written by the man who walked in what the 30 00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:14.400 bible says is the greatest level of wisdom of anyone who's ever lived and he gave us 31 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:20.240 some pointers, he pointed out some things, he wasn't shy about bringing out like this 32 00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:25.040 is a foolish way to live, this is what wisdom looks like and he'd contrast it with foolishness 33 00:03:25.040 --> 00:03:29.560 and he'd often bring out the concept of a slugger, I'm rattling it through a little 34 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:35.400 bit this morning so that we get out of here before we have any issues, before the tourism 35 00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:40.440 dynamic kicks in and we've got people come from all over the world to meet with God here 36 00:03:40.440 --> 00:03:44.440 and it's just awesome what happens right here in this beautiful little chapel, people out 37 00:03:44.440 --> 00:03:50.000 looking out there, it's just stunning, so here we go, I've got a bunch of Proverbs that 38 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:55.960 I've written down here because this last section of template number 2 is all about putting 39 00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:00.560 disciplines in place, I want to bring some Proverbs out and a couple of quotes for you 40 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:05.960 but when you're going through this last part of the template, filling out your disciplines, 41 00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:11.680 this is one of the most transformative opportunities that I believe we could ever have, we've got 42 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:18.079 to put in place 21 weekly disciplines, right, 21 weekly disciplines, that's 3 disciplines 43 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:24.800 in each area of our life, now my encouragement to you, right, is be really, really achievable 44 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:29.600 goals so that you are going to be able to easily accomplish that discipline each week, 45 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.800 you know, just go for small things, like go for the 5 minute dynamic, look that's my boy 46 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:39.280 Ez in the window, go for a 5 minute weekly discipline if you think that's more achievable 47 00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:43.160 than an hour, okay, go for things that you're going to definitely get the momentum on, you're 48 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:47.280 going to win on and that you know each week you're going to be getting it, hi Ez, I can 49 00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:53.680 see you, hey buddy, okay, off you go mate, don't play there, good boy, alright sweet 50 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:58.920 so Proverbs, let's jump into it, training for reigning, are we our greatest enemy or 51 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:00.040 our greatest ally? 52 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.200 Right, the answer lies in how we embrace discipline. 53 00:05:04.200 --> 00:05:08.040 So, let's check out some Proverbs. 54 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.040 And I'm gonna get my ladies there as well 55 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:10.920 to keep me on the clock. 56 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.820 I think we're doing all right at the moment, we're at 8.30. 57 00:05:14.840 --> 00:05:16.560 I think we're gonna smash this. 58 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.400 So, jump on board with me guys, let's go into Proverbs. 59 00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:23.300 Training for reigning, say, I am royalty. 60 00:05:23.300 --> 00:05:26.280 Somebody say, we got the ladies here, I am royalty. 61 00:05:26.280 --> 00:05:27.400 Absolutely. 62 00:05:27.400 --> 00:05:31.040 I train my kids how to be royalty. 63 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.920 I talk to them about Proverbs, about training for reigning. 64 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:37.760 Even at four and six, they're getting training for reigning, 65 00:05:37.760 --> 00:05:40.720 how they can rule and reign in life like a king or a queen. 66 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.040 And you're called to rule and reign in your life. 67 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:47.680 And discipline is gonna be the massive key. 68 00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.440 Ah, look at how big that sucker is. 69 00:05:50.440 --> 00:05:52.760 That is the biggest key I've ever seen in my life. 70 00:05:52.760 --> 00:05:55.840 And I think discipline is the biggest key 71 00:05:55.840 --> 00:06:00.240 that we have in life to living in and stewarding success. 72 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.880 Remember, lifestyle-based success, too. 73 00:06:03.880 --> 00:06:05.660 You know, thriving in every area of our life, 74 00:06:05.660 --> 00:06:07.320 not just achievement-based success. 75 00:06:07.320 --> 00:06:09.000 So, this is awesome, here we go. 76 00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.320 Proverbs chapter six, verses six to 11, 77 00:06:12.320 --> 00:06:13.600 starting with verse six. 78 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.040 Go to the ant, oh sluggard. 79 00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:18.560 Observe her ways and be wise, 80 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.640 which having no chief, officer or ruler, 81 00:06:21.640 --> 00:06:24.200 prepares her food in the summer 82 00:06:24.200 --> 00:06:26.360 and that gathers her provision in the harvest. 83 00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:27.920 And that might be just like you and I. 84 00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.400 You might not have a boss who's constantly saying, 85 00:06:30.400 --> 00:06:31.960 hey, are you doing this? 86 00:06:31.960 --> 00:06:32.780 Are you doing that? 87 00:06:32.780 --> 00:06:33.620 Are you doing that? 88 00:06:33.620 --> 00:06:35.480 It might just all depend on you. 89 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:39.020 It might all depend on you fulfilling your dreams. 90 00:06:39.020 --> 00:06:41.320 You might not have someone that is all about you. 91 00:06:41.320 --> 00:06:44.320 Look, I've got people sneaking in through the window. 92 00:06:44.320 --> 00:06:47.120 But you might have to be the one that makes the decision. 93 00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.120 You might not have a boss saying, hey, hurry up. 94 00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:50.600 You might be the one that has to make 95 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:52.960 the decision for yourself, boom. 96 00:06:52.960 --> 00:06:55.520 Jump into it, make those decisions. 97 00:06:55.520 --> 00:06:57.760 Be like the ant, nail the seasons, 98 00:06:57.760 --> 00:06:59.680 nail the priorities, nail the timings. 99 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:01.400 Do what you gotta do. 100 00:07:01.400 --> 00:07:03.380 Proverbs 10, verse four. 101 00:07:03.380 --> 00:07:07.320 Poor is he who works with a negligent hand, 102 00:07:07.320 --> 00:07:09.920 but the hand of the diligent makes rich. 103 00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:12.760 So if you don't master discipline, 104 00:07:12.760 --> 00:07:16.400 then get ready, get ready for poverty. 105 00:07:16.400 --> 00:07:19.080 If you master discipline, get ready for abundance. 106 00:07:19.080 --> 00:07:21.360 Proverbs 10, four to five. 107 00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:25.440 He who gathers in summer is a son who acts wisely, 108 00:07:25.440 --> 00:07:29.080 but he who sleeps and harvests is a son who acts shamefully. 109 00:07:29.080 --> 00:07:31.440 So there's priorities in life, right? 110 00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:32.640 If we get our priorities wrong, 111 00:07:32.640 --> 00:07:35.160 if you're doing a low-priority task, 112 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:39.960 when it's a time for doing a high-priority task, 113 00:07:39.960 --> 00:07:41.920 oh my gosh, you're setting yourself up 114 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:43.760 for a massive failure. 115 00:07:43.760 --> 00:07:47.160 High-priority tasks, the 80-20 principle, 116 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:49.280 we're gonna be looking at that going forward. 117 00:07:49.280 --> 00:07:52.040 But prioritize, do your priorities first. 118 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:54.560 Proverbs 12, 24. 119 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:56.560 The hand of the diligent will rule. 120 00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:58.520 That's us, you're called to rule and reign. 121 00:07:58.520 --> 00:08:00.680 The hand of the diligent, or when you say diligent, 122 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:02.040 you can think discipline. 123 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:04.740 The hand of the disciplined will rule, 124 00:08:04.740 --> 00:08:08.040 but the slap hand, the person who doesn't have discipline, 125 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:11.140 will be put to forced labor, put to forced labor. 126 00:08:11.140 --> 00:08:13.600 So if you wanna get set up for slavery, 127 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.440 then just don't steward the power of discipline. 128 00:08:18.440 --> 00:08:21.260 The hand of the disciplined will rule, 129 00:08:21.260 --> 00:08:23.440 but the slap will be put to forced labor. 130 00:08:23.440 --> 00:08:25.020 Proverbs 12, 27. 131 00:08:25.020 --> 00:08:27.680 The lazy do not roast any game, 132 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.840 but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt. 133 00:08:30.840 --> 00:08:32.840 Now, I love that one. 134 00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:36.179 The lazy do not roast any game, 135 00:08:36.179 --> 00:08:40.159 but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt. 136 00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:41.400 Now, I love that, okay? 137 00:08:41.400 --> 00:08:43.440 You're called to go out there and crush it. 138 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:44.680 You're called to win, 139 00:08:44.680 --> 00:08:47.480 and discipline is gonna be setting you up for winning. 140 00:08:47.520 --> 00:08:49.960 But if you're not winning, 141 00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:51.320 then have a look at your disciplines, 142 00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:53.840 because there's probably something out of alignment there, 143 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.480 and there's probably a massive opportunity 144 00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:58.840 to embrace a massive key, 145 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:00.620 and to embrace the power of discipline, 146 00:09:00.620 --> 00:09:02.280 and put it in place in your life. 147 00:09:02.280 --> 00:09:04.100 Discipline will give you what you want, guys. 148 00:09:04.100 --> 00:09:05.240 It'll give you what you want. 149 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:06.880 What does winning look like to you? 150 00:09:06.880 --> 00:09:08.560 Feasting on the riches. 151 00:09:08.560 --> 00:09:11.400 Feasting on the riches of the hunt, 152 00:09:11.400 --> 00:09:13.060 that's about succeeding in the pursuit 153 00:09:13.060 --> 00:09:15.320 of your personal definition of success. 154 00:09:15.400 --> 00:09:16.800 We've given that, you know, 155 00:09:16.800 --> 00:09:18.840 you've articulated in template number two, 156 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:21.240 what is your definition of success? 157 00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:22.440 Well, that's what feasting 158 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:24.520 on the riches of the hunt looks like. 159 00:09:24.520 --> 00:09:27.960 It's like, yes, you're living your own definition of success. 160 00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:29.860 You're pursuing, and you're fulfilling, 161 00:09:29.860 --> 00:09:31.320 and you're succeeding in the pursuit 162 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.000 of your own wildest dreams. 163 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.920 That is feasting on the riches of the hunt. 164 00:09:35.920 --> 00:09:37.200 The lazy don't get to do that. 165 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.440 Those that don't embrace discipline don't get to do that. 166 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:40.280 But you do, 167 00:09:40.280 --> 00:09:43.560 because you are gonna embrace the power of discipline. 168 00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:46.520 Proverbs 13, four, 169 00:09:46.520 --> 00:09:50.080 the soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, 170 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.600 but the soul of the diligent is made fat. 171 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:53.960 Ooh, yeah. 172 00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:56.760 The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing. 173 00:09:56.760 --> 00:09:57.900 Now, that's the difference between, 174 00:09:57.900 --> 00:09:59.920 are you a daydreamer, or are you. 175 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.920 actually putting something in place. 176 00:10:01.920 --> 00:10:04.000 Are you a daydreamer or are you a visionary? 177 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:06.880 As someone who's just daydreaming or you're a visionary, 178 00:10:06.880 --> 00:10:09.360 you're sold out, you're actually doing what it takes, 179 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.660 you've gotta embrace this concept of doing whatever it takes 180 00:10:13.660 --> 00:10:16.260 to bring your dreams to life, because the slugger, 181 00:10:16.260 --> 00:10:17.640 there's so many people like this. 182 00:10:17.640 --> 00:10:19.960 So many people are just, 183 00:10:20.880 --> 00:10:23.200 they just have this concept of daydreaming. 184 00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:25.800 They talk about all these wonderful fantasies 185 00:10:25.800 --> 00:10:26.640 of what they want, 186 00:10:26.640 --> 00:10:28.840 but if you don't embrace the power of discipline, 187 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:32.760 if you don't match your discipline up with your desires, 188 00:10:32.760 --> 00:10:35.280 then you'll never see your destiny fulfilled. 189 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:38.640 The soul of the slugger craves and gets nothing, 190 00:10:38.640 --> 00:10:40.920 but the soul of the diligent is made fat. 191 00:10:40.920 --> 00:10:41.960 Mm-hmm. 192 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:45.960 In all labor, there is profit, 193 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.160 but mere talk leads only to poverty. 194 00:10:48.160 --> 00:10:49.320 How's that? 195 00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:51.600 In all labor, there is profit, 196 00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:54.440 but mere talk leads only to poverty. 197 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:55.840 It's about work ethic. 198 00:10:56.800 --> 00:10:59.320 King Solomon is articulating through Proverbs 199 00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:01.420 that if you wanna rule and reign in life, 200 00:11:01.420 --> 00:11:05.040 then get ready to put on some serious work ethic. 201 00:11:05.040 --> 00:11:06.880 If you're not gonna embrace the hustle, 202 00:11:06.880 --> 00:11:08.280 you're gonna lead to failure, 203 00:11:08.280 --> 00:11:09.860 you're gonna lead to poverty, 204 00:11:09.860 --> 00:11:12.960 you're gonna lead to a heartbreak and disappointment, 205 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:15.320 but if you embrace the power of discipline, 206 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.160 oh my gosh, get ready for abundance, 207 00:11:18.160 --> 00:11:19.300 get ready for success, 208 00:11:19.300 --> 00:11:20.880 get ready to be living in the fullness 209 00:11:20.880 --> 00:11:22.400 of your wildest dreams. 210 00:11:22.400 --> 00:11:23.960 Proverbs 15, 19, 211 00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.800 the way of the lazy is a hedge of thorns, 212 00:11:26.800 --> 00:11:29.280 but the path of the upright is a highway. 213 00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:32.760 Proverbs 18, nine, 214 00:11:32.760 --> 00:11:35.520 he also who is slack in his work 215 00:11:35.520 --> 00:11:37.440 is brother to him who destroys. 216 00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:39.520 Oh my gosh, if you're not diligent, 217 00:11:39.520 --> 00:11:40.880 if you're not working hard, 218 00:11:42.760 --> 00:11:43.600 Solomon's saying, man, 219 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:45.000 you're brother to one who destroys. 220 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:46.800 That's crazy. 221 00:11:46.800 --> 00:11:49.920 Laziness casts, Proverbs 19, 15, 222 00:11:49.920 --> 00:11:53.200 laziness casts into a deep sleep 223 00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:56.080 and an idle man will suffer hunger. 224 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.640 So if you want poverty, 225 00:11:58.640 --> 00:12:00.640 then embrace laziness, 226 00:12:00.640 --> 00:12:02.280 just have another nap, 227 00:12:02.280 --> 00:12:04.480 just give yourself another two hours, 228 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:05.760 just sleep in. 229 00:12:05.760 --> 00:12:07.240 Proverbs 19, 24, 230 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:09.800 the sluggard buries his hand in his dish, 231 00:12:09.800 --> 00:12:11.800 but will not even bring it back to his mouth. 232 00:12:11.800 --> 00:12:15.120 Now this seems kind of like a crazy concept. 233 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.800 The sluggard buries his hand in his dish, 234 00:12:17.800 --> 00:12:19.800 but will not even bring it to his mouth. 235 00:12:19.800 --> 00:12:22.840 Now that is about finishing well. 236 00:12:23.280 --> 00:12:24.480 Are we finishing well? 237 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:26.800 So many people walk through opportunities, 238 00:12:26.800 --> 00:12:28.280 but they walk through them half-heartedly. 239 00:12:28.280 --> 00:12:29.720 They don't finish it. 240 00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:30.840 There's all these opportunities, 241 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:32.040 they're like, you're nearly

your greatest breakthrough. 245 00:12:36.880 --> 00:12:39.280 You just gotta push through just a little bit more. 246 00:12:39.280 --> 00:12:42.160 Your hands, you've already got your hands on the prize. 247 00:12:42.160 --> 00:12:44.400 You're right there in that place of success. 248 00:12:44.400 --> 00:12:45.920 You're nearly there, finish well. 249 00:12:45.920 --> 00:12:47.560 You actually just bring it home, 250 00:12:47.560 --> 00:12:49.000 bring it home, bring it home. 251 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:51.000 You're nearly there, so just push through. 252 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:53.720 You are on the verge of your greatest breakthrough. 253 00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:55.880 Jump in, your hand's there, you've got it, 254 00:12:55.880 --> 00:12:58.000 you're in the opportunity, you've seized the moment, 255 00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:59.400 just bring it in. 256 00:12:59.400 --> 00:13:02.920 That last 20%, that hustle, that grind, 257 00:13:02.920 --> 00:13:06.360 just pushing right through, finishing well, guys. 258 00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:09.120 That sets us up for success. 259 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:10.560 Let's not be like the sluggard 260 00:13:10.560 --> 00:13:12.120 who's walked through the open door. 261 00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:13.520 They've got a hold of their prize, 262 00:13:13.520 --> 00:13:16.200 and then just laziness, distraction, 263 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:17.560 discouragement, whatever. 264 00:13:17.560 --> 00:13:19.800 You are on the verge of your greatest breakthrough. 265 00:13:19.920 --> 00:13:21.240 You've got all these templates, 266 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:22.920 you're filling out your dreams, 267 00:13:22.920 --> 00:13:24.640 so it could be like you're right there, 268 00:13:24.640 --> 00:13:26.880 you're in the verge of just amazing breakthrough, 269 00:13:26.880 --> 00:13:28.920 so just finish the template. 270 00:13:28.920 --> 00:13:30.560 Just finish it, finish it, finish it, 271 00:13:30.560 --> 00:13:33.120 and crush life, be phenomenal. 272 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:34.760 Okay, Proverbs 20, verse four. 273 00:13:34.760 --> 00:13:38.000 The sluggard does not plow after the autumn, 274 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:41.880 so he begs during harvest and has nothing. 275 00:13:41.880 --> 00:13:43.520 Oh, no. 276 00:13:43.520 --> 00:13:46.520 The sluggard does not plow after the autumn, 277 00:13:46.520 --> 00:13:49.360 so he begs during the harvest and has nothing. 278 00:13:49.400 --> 00:13:51.280 This is just a great follow-through to that concept 279 00:13:51.280 --> 00:13:54.160 of you've got your hand on the opportunity, 280 00:13:54.160 --> 00:13:56.840 you're right there, you've got to finish this, 281 00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:59.480 or you're right there, you're nearly there, 282 00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.920 but you don't prioritize, and you start doing some, 283 00:14:02.920 --> 00:14:04.200 you get distracted by something 284 00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:07.560 and engage in a low-priority, 285 00:14:07.560 --> 00:14:09.920 a low-priority task, 286 00:14:09.920 --> 00:14:11.760 when it's like you've got these high-priority things, 287 00:14:11.760 --> 00:14:13.240 you've got to get these done. 288 00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:15.720 And you know what, sometimes high-priority tasks 289 00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:18.600 demand that we hustle. 290 00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:21.320 Sometimes that last part of bringing it home 291 00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:24.080 has got some really serious hustle in it. 292 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:27.880 A few times of the year, I will usually work all day, 293 00:14:27.880 --> 00:14:30.080 work all night, and not stop 294 00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:32.720 until I accomplish a high-priority task. 295 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:34.480 There's such time pressure on it. 296 00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:37.240 I know this has to be done if I want to succeed. 297 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.080 I can't let up. 298 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:40.640 I can't drop the slack right now. 299 00:14:40.640 --> 00:14:42.680 I have got to hustle, hustle, hustle. 300 00:14:42.680 --> 00:14:44.520 I've got to put on the afterburners, 301 00:14:44.520 --> 00:14:46.600 and there comes seasons where there's priority things. 302 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:48.240 You know, you've just got to drive. 303 00:14:48.880 --> 00:14:49.720 You've just got to hustle. 304 00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:51.200 You've just got to get it done. 305 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:53.760 You've got deadlines, timelines, things just going on. 306 00:14:53.760 --> 00:14:55.840 Well, that's the time to dig deep. 307 00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:59.040 And if you don't dig deep in those priority times, 308 00:14:59.040 --> 00:15:00.280 you'll be like the slug. 309 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.600 who doesn't embrace the power of priority get distracted by low-level 310 00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:10.600 tasks and boom you miss out and so the result will be that you go begging. 311 00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:17.520 Poverty will come on you. Proverbs 20 verse 13. Do not love sleep or you will 312 00:15:17.520 --> 00:15:22.720 become poor. How's that? Oh my gosh we need to tell some people this biblical 313 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:28.500 wisdom. Do not love sleep or you will become poor. Okay sleep is great but we 314 00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:32.460 got to balance it out. We've got to get some hustle going on as well. Open your 315 00:15:32.460 --> 00:15:37.800 eyes and you will be satisfied with food. Okay opportunity and invitation into 316 00:15:37.800 --> 00:15:44.060 abundance. Proverbs 21 verse 25. The sluggard, the desire of the sluggard 317 00:15:44.060 --> 00:15:51.740 puts him to death. For his hands refuse to work all day long he is craving while 318 00:15:51.740 --> 00:15:55.460 the righteous gives and does not hold back. This is massive. The desire of the 319 00:15:55.460 --> 00:15:59.900 sluggard puts him to death. You know because hope deferred makes the heart 320 00:15:59.900 --> 00:16:04.100 sick but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life which is another Proverbs from 321 00:16:04.100 --> 00:16:07.940 Solomon. So a sluggard has all these desires, all these dreams and they're 322 00:16:07.940 --> 00:16:10.620 never getting fulfilled. They're never seeing anything happen so they're just 323 00:16:10.620 --> 00:16:16.220 disappointed, they're discouraged, they're unsatisfied, they're just miserable and 324 00:16:16.220 --> 00:16:21.180 they're perpetuating their own misery. A sluggard perpetuates their own misery 325 00:16:21.180 --> 00:16:25.820 but having grand, beautiful, outrageous, massive dreams and desires and never 326 00:16:25.820 --> 00:16:30.260 seeing any of them fulfilled because they refuse to do what it takes to bring 327 00:16:30.260 --> 00:16:35.220 those dreams to life. Okay the Dave Riddell quote, how do you get whatever 328 00:16:35.220 --> 00:16:39.300 you want in life? Do whatever it takes and a sluggard is not willing to do 329 00:16:39.300 --> 00:16:45.020 whatever it takes to bring their dreams to life. Proverbs 22 verse 13. The 330 00:16:45.020 --> 00:16:48.460 sluggard says there is a lion outside. I will be killed in the streets. What's 331 00:16:48.460 --> 00:16:53.940 that? Just excuses. Sluggards make up excuses constantly. Proverbs 24 30. I 332 00:16:53.940 --> 00:16:58.740 passed by the field of the sluggard and by the vineyard of the man lacking sense 333 00:16:58.740 --> 00:17:03.580 or a fool. So Proverbs is all about calling what's a sluggard a slug and 334 00:17:03.580 --> 00:17:08.660 what's a fool a fool. He does it all the time. Passed by the field of the sluggard 335 00:17:08.660 --> 00:17:13.579 by the vineyard of the man lacking sense and behold it was completely overgrown 336 00:17:13.579 --> 00:17:19.980 with thistles, its surface was covered with nettles and its stone wall was 337 00:17:19.980 --> 00:17:28.940 broken down. It goes on. Proverbs 24 verse 33 says a little sleep, a little slumber, 338 00:17:28.940 --> 00:17:34.460 a little folding of the hands to rest, then poverty will come on you as a 339 00:17:34.460 --> 00:17:42.780 robber and thief like an arm and and lack like an armed bandit. Oh my gosh 340 00:17:42.780 --> 00:17:48.980 poverty will come upon you like a robber and lack like an armed bandit. Oh 341 00:17:48.980 --> 00:17:53.500 my gosh. So a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding the hands to 342 00:17:53.500 --> 00:18:00.500 rest and poverty will come on you as a robber and lack like an armed bandit. Oh 343 00:18:00.500 --> 00:18:05.540 my goodness. So that's again just about work ethic, about being smart in your 344 00:18:05.540 --> 00:18:10.020 work, about prioritizing, about hustling, about when it comes to that moment to 345 00:18:10.020 --> 00:18:14.260 hustle, you fully engage, you put the afterburners on, you go after your dreams. 346 00:18:14.260 --> 00:18:18.060 Don't, and let me just say this as well, don't compare yourself to the standard 347 00:18:18.060 --> 00:18:21.860 around us because the standard in our world right now is tragic. That's why 348 00:18:21.860 --> 00:18:25.420 there's so few people that are living their wildest dreams. So don't allow 349 00:18:25.420 --> 00:18:28.780 yourself to compare yourself to the person beside you because the person 350 00:18:28.780 --> 00:18:33.260 beside you is probably failing in life, okay. So don't allow yourself to 351 00:18:33.260 --> 00:18:37.900 compare. Don't bother comparing with other people. You have got to have way 352 00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:43.420 higher standards than the average person otherwise poverty will come on you like 353 00:18:43.420 --> 00:18:50.660 an armed bandit. Wow, here is one of the most crazy intense ones. Proverbs 25, 28. 354 00:18:50.660 --> 00:19:00.740 A man without discipline is like a city broken into and left without walls. 355 00:19:00.740 --> 00:19:07.060 What time is that? Are we timed to go? Okay, right. It's Alana. Okay, sweet. Check that out. 356 00:19:07.060 --> 00:19:11.700 Proverbs 25, 28. A man without self-control or a man without discipline is like a 357 00:19:11.700 --> 00:19:21.620 city broken into and left without walls. Oh my gosh. Proverbs 26, 14. As the door 358 00:19:21.620 --> 00:19:26.960 turns on its hinges so the sluggard turns on his bed and gets nothing. Here's again 359 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:32.040 excuses from the sluggard. Proverbs 26, 13. The sluggard says there is a lion in the 360 00:19:32.040 --> 00:19:37.400 road. A lion is in the open square. More excuses, more justification on why you're 361 00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.240 not living your dreams. Justification excuses, they don't give you your dreams, 362 00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:45.040 okay. You can make all the excuses if you want. You can justify all you want. You 363 00:19:45.040 --> 00:19:48.240 can give all the reasons why it's not possible you want but they will not give 364 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:55.880 you your dreams. Proverbs 26, 15.
