Communication's Role in Personal Success

it's amazing to me that the number one determining factor of how well people do in life is communication if you desire for your life to elevate you better improve your ability to communicate it doesn't seem fair but it doesn't matter if it's fair it's how life Works in fact it's how life works because this is how God set it up in Genesis 1 he gave us so many success principles in Genesis chapter 1 it's almost like he gave us a wink and said well if you don't get to chapter 2 you going to be all right we're going to go back and look at a principle you've heard me teach on before in Genesis chapter 1 but before we do that I want to read a verse to you in Proverbs 13 and verse number two I want you to let it marinade into your cerebral cortex I think that's somewhere in your brain and here's what it says a man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence a man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth what does that even mean well I believe it what it means is this see we already know that every deed is a seed we know that how many how many youall know that wave at me if you know that okay we already know every deed is a seed we already know every dollar is a seed how many y'all got that already right but here's what we forget sometimes every word is a seed that we are sewing into the garden of our future and one of the things that we would all do well to do is to become hyper intentional about the word seeds that we sew into the Gard Garden of our future I know I'm having conversations with somebody sometime with people sometimes and I know they think I'm being obtuse and I'm not intentionally being obtuse difficult um why didn't you just say difficult I don't know CU obtuse just sounds so much more poetic but I know they think I'm being obtuse but I'm not I just don't have the ability to agree with something I disagree with I can't do it like I can't say like if you make a statement that I can't go with I have to and you're waiting for a response I have to first acknowledge that I don't agree with that statement before I can even go any further I I don't know how to do it any other way I was talking to somebody yesterday said yeah I was really concerned about X Y andz I said I wouldn't really concerned about well I'm no I know I'm just saying I was concerned about right but I'm just saying I wasn't and like I'm I wasn't trying I I had no desire to be difficult whatsoever but I can't I I hear what you're saying but I can't agree with you uh cuz I wasn't concerned about it why that's not the kind of thing I generally get concerned about I generally don't get really concerned about a whole lot of anything you know I don't have a whole lot of angst you know we I don't got a whole lot of stored up anxiety and it it just ain't there yeah I was really worried about it I really wasn't been so long since I worried I don't remember how to do it I don't remember I have I have very weak worry muscles it's just Sametime my practice and so so so so every word that comes out of your mouth matters and what we've got to do is we've got to act like they matter and so what I'm going to show you today I'm talking about people who make millions of dollars and I I know everybody's desire is not to make millions of dollars but a couple of y'all probably be okay with that anybody in here will be okay with that okay so if if you desire to elevate your income you must elevate your communication get become a better I don't like talking I don't care life don't care don't like it and still get better at it I was so introverted growing up and believe it or not I still feel like an introvert even though I operate like an extrovert why cuz I found out that you know the squeaky wheel y'all heard about the squeaky wheel right I said man this wheel better start making some noise don't quiet Wheels they get ignored and and I I do get like if I'm teaching if I'm in a teaching environment where I'm sharing like things that I really care about with people I get energy from that I'm I'm just hanging out with people and it's just like a networking event or it's like a party or a birthday party I that is not my sauce I am not the life of a party I'm not in fact we have family gett togethers my wife always makes fun of I know where he's at he's somewhere reading something watching a YouTube video somewhere by off by myself cuz just and I love my people but like I am not a an extrovert that's not my jam I'm not a natural extrovert when I'm not in my environment and around a whole bunch of people I just assume just not be have a whole lot of attention now when I'm teaching it's different because I just believe that the truth can change people's lives on levels that nothing else can and so I can get excited about sharing some truth with somebody now right and I don't even care if other people here you know what I'm saying so so I'm going to share with you some things that I've learned about how to be a better communicator because when you communicate like when you communicate better you will Elevate faster and so I'm going to talk to you about some of those principles so the foundation of this entire conversation is something that I discovered in Genesis that I call the four levels of value has anybody here never heard of me talk about the four levels of value it's okay if you haven't okay good good I was hoping there weren there were at least a few I know there are some people on YouTube who've never heard me talk about the four levels of value so before I even share with you the four levels of value what I'm going to do is I'm going to share with you um the erroneous belief that people have about how to get better income okay one of the erroneous beliefs people have is that if I want to make more money I have to work harder now I'm not saying working harder is a bad idea like we should work hard because working hard makes us better and stronger people working hard for money is not really a very effective plan it's highly inefficient I like to tell people people think that working harder makes them more deserving of success I found that that's not necessarily true but it defin definitely makes them more tired so if you'd like to get more out of the equation than being tired then maybe your plan needs to include more than just working harder y'all tracking and so people say okay well I want to deliver more value okay that sounds good you deliver more value make more money that's incrementally true but exponentially false what does that mean well if I deliver more of the same value than I'm already delivering it can only add to my income it cannot multiply it are y'all tracking but if I desire to multiply my income like maybe I'd like to turn my annual income into my monthly income okay maybe I'd like to turn my monthly income into my weekly income or my weekly into my daily I don't know whatever your objective is it doesn't matter what I have to do if I'm going to do that is I have to offer a higher level of value not more value at the same level now here's why that that's true because wealth is a spiritual outcome wealth is spiritual and since wealth is spiritual if I'm going to attract or create or produce wealth then I have to operate on a level of value that delivers a higher level of spiritual value not necessarily a higher level of material value and one of the reasons we buy into this lie is because people think that wealth is in its Essence in its nature materialistic but it's not in fact I'll prove it to you I think I will so hopefully I have a dollar I had used to have a dollar I do have a dollar okay so I've got a dollar that's a dollar is it upside down it's upside down that's a dollar I had George Washington standing on his head uh that's a dollar that's a dollar okay this is $100 anybody have a penny I can borrow I'll give it back I promise just just a penny just yeah I like that idea uh probably not um so so I want to show you something that's going to blow your mind I think it blows my mind when I think about it so $100 is worth more thank you Tim thank thank thank you sioban okay so y'all y'all see me y'all see me okay I got I got I have this hand a penny say why you doing your hands like that that's what magicians do when they get money they start doing stuff like this I don't even know what it means right okay so I have in this hand a penny I have in this hand a $100 bill I'm going to ask youall a question if you're watching on YouTube you can answer in the chat okay this is not a trick question this is not a trick question this is not a trick question which one's worth more the penny or the $100 bill1 does everybody answer everybody has to answer okay which one's worth more the penny or $100 bill $100 bill okay okay thank you thank you now every time I ask that even though I say three times it is not a trick question somebody will always say the penny so let's address that first no it's not a judgment play it's not a judgment play I'm I'm I'm showing you something about how stuff that's going on inside of us that we're not even aware of we got to inventory a junk all up in here we don't even know's in here here's why even though I I said clearly I like this is not a trick question this is not a trick question this is not a trick question somebody will always say the penny so let me ask you a the question a different way if I were going to give you a $100 bill or somebody else's Penny um which would you rather have then that's the one that's work the most okay now why do people say the penny it doesn't matter how big the crowd is it doesn't matter how small the crowd is somebody always says the penny why somebody always says the penny for two reasons number one we've been programmed in a Mis educational misdirection system aka the government indoctrination camps child prisons schools whatever you want to call them to believe that an if an answer is too obvious it must be the opposite so we don't even realize that the so-called educational system has has programmed us to ignore the simple truth and find a complicated lie it's it's we can't even help it we spend too much time there secondly we say the penny because we think well the material that the penny is made out of hanging there with me am I telling the truth this copper is worth more than this paper right how many y'all were doing those mental jumping jacks even if you said the the $100 bill exactly right the the Copper's worth more he's asking this for a reason he must be asking this because the copper is worth more than the paper even though I said money is not materialistic but watch this we believe it is materialistic because that's the LIE we've been told and so when we look at it and somebody ask a question it's obviously the $100 bill we're going to say the penny because now we have to start figuring out and rationalizing why the penny is worth more well it's worth more because the material the penny is made out of is worth more than the material the $100 bill is made out of or if you could take 100 pennies that's way more that material is worth way more than this material but this is still worth more this is worth 10,000 times as much as this even though both of them are basically worthless there's no there's no gold backing this this is fiat currency what does Fiat mean they made it up that's what it means means there's nothing backing it Nixon took us off the gold standard in 1973 I think maybe 71 I don't but he took us off there's nothing backing it okay so if there's nothing backing it how can a $100 bill be worth anything how can a penny be worth anything well two reasons number one this is worth more than this because of the message it carries this says one cent which means 1% of $1 this one says $100 which means $ 100 times $1 now say what does that mean that tells us that's one of the clues that money is spiritual how's that a clue that money is spiritual here's how language is something that only belongs to Spiritual Beings only Spiritual Beings can understand language Birds can't read dogs can't write elephants can't count so we have language and the language denotes it it's it's it's spiritual because it's language and then the other reason a $100 bill is worth $100 is because we believe it is the only thing backing this currency is Faith now let me ask you a question about faith is Faith a physical attribute or spiritual is it material material or physical or spiritual spiritual so the essence of money the essence of wealth is spiritual in its nature now the spiritual substance in the Bible that is represented well throughout all eternity is gold we know that and I used to wonder when I was a kid now you probably never wondered this but I you know I have a very curious mind and inquisitive mind inquiring minds want to know well mine wants to know about everything and I remember the first time I saw shiny and the first time I ever saw shiny brass and it's the same exact color as gold and I'm like why is gold worth more than brass and copper did anybody else ever wonder that is it just me you wonder it too right thank you so at least two of us the rest of y'all I don't know what y'all think about but that's what me and Ryan was thinking about and so and the first reason gold is worth more let's talk about that y'all ready because God said so that's why Genesis chap in the Book of Genesis gold is mentioned exactly eight times eight is the number of abundance Infinity eternity and the new beginning and gold represents all of that what does what do you mean well see here's the difference between copper and brass and gold copper and brass corrode and gold does not so it's a type of Eternity are y'all tracking every time gold is mentioned in the Book of Genesis for all you Christ followers churchgoers who believe that God wants you broke as a joke and ready to choke every time gold is mentioned in the Book of Genesis without exception go study it for yourself it's only in there eight times it ain't going to take you that long it's always mentioned in conjunction with God's people what does that tell me seems like God put abundance on the earth for his people in fact the first time it's mentioned it's mentioned in Genesis 2: 11- 12 and it says there's gold in that land and the gold of that land is good wait a minute wait a minute did I say the Garden of Eden I didn't say the Garden of Eden I said the Garden of Eden didn't it the Garden of Eden yeah it's in the Garden of Eden wait a minute how many people were in the Garden of Eden how many two there's two people in the garden Aiden were they did they have any relationship with each other what was the relationship they were husband and wife that's right how many stores were in the Garden of Eden none how much this stuff cost nothing so in an environment where there are two people and they're married to each other there are no stores there's nothing for sale and nothing to buy God put gold and precious stones in the Garden of Eden and made sure he told us it was there and made sure he told us it was good it is so why is he doing all that if he wants us to be broke as a joke and ready to show because God wants us to understand that opulence and abundance are natural resources in the environment of the children of the king otherwise I'm misrepresenting him I a't CH to do that I don't need nice cars I don't need like I could y'all y'all don't even understand I'm I'm I know how to shoot a bow and arrow straight hit my target I know how to fish I know how to shoot a gun I know how to grow a garden conveniences are nice but they ain't necessary but yet and still God said even though you can do all that guess what I'm going to put you in an environment where now here's what's interesting see people people because we read the Bible so fast we're interested in getting through it we don't read it slow enough to let it get through to us the first time it's mentioned it's mentioned as Providence for God's people Providence provide in advance God put the gold there before he put the people there guess what God put your prosperity in your environment before he put you there but you still got to dress and keep your garden oh yeah yeah you still you got some G to do baby huh huh you got some weeds in the garden up in here okay the second time gold is mentioned it's mentioned in Genesis Chapter 13 Verse number two it says and Abram was very rich in cattle and silver and gold this is a trick question was Abram Rich no he was very rich he was very rich how it's I love the fact that God didn't just tell us he was Rich it told us how rich he was very but it didn't just tell us how rich he was it told us how he was rich cuz God knows how people like to spiritualize things to let themselves off the hook well when it says he was Wren it just meant you know he had a Godly and Noble Heritage that's that's good but that ain't what it says it says he was very rich in cattle and silver and gold here's what it says in the Book of Proverbs house and riches are the inheritance of fathers and a Prudent Wife is of the Lord house and riches a good man leaves an inheritance to his children house and riches are the inheritance of fathers so okay let me ask you a question how many of you know you'd be a lot further ahead in life if your parents when you got married had given you a house and some riches you'd be a lot further further ahead right okay so let's PR practice um let's let's be the first in our family to practice something that I learned from Dr Sonia Shri y'all ready here it is you may not come from a wealthy family but let a wealthy family come from you yes sir be the first one in your family to give your children houseing riches yes sir well see in America we think it's Noble well you're 18 get out of my house go figure it out you you couldn't figure it out when you was 18 that's crazy hey Isaac was 40 still living with Daddy you know when he moved out when he got married that's God's design I don't know if I could have on my 40-year-old that's between you and them I'm just telling you what the Bible said see here's the problem we don't prepare our children to become responsible adults and so we want to get this child who's in a grown body who's in an adult body away from us because they run our blood pressure through the mo through the roof cuz we didn't teach them how to become a responsible adult okay here's what's I'm gonna give you one more little aside before I get back into before I get back into um the four levels of value because this is going this is going to be so good so the Bible is a book that has promises principles patterns precepts prayers prophecies and practices that give us the ability to make predictions about outcomes in the future so we can position oursel where that outcome is going to happen on the path of prosperity and when I say Prosperity the word Prosper just means to flow that's all it means to flow that's why I don't have some and grind I'm too busy ebbing and flowing I don't got no hust with me I I ain't got no grind I got a lot of EB and flow why cuz that's what the scripture says it says when the spirit is in you it's going to it's going to Bubble Up like a spring of Living Water that's flowing that's not hustling and grinding the grass don't Hustle the trees don't grind okay y'all with me I I can I can tell I'm picking up what y'all putting down the first time we think be rich equals evil but the first time the word rich is used in the entire Bible is Genesis CH 13 verse number two the very first time it's mentioned and it's talking about Abraham and it says and Abram was very rich in cattle and silver and gold let me ask you a question was Abram a good guy or a bad guy good guy he's a good guy he's a friend of God but he's the first person the Bible tells us was rich Herod Pharaoh not they weren't the first people God God said Abram was very he wasn't just Rich he was very rich okay now how do we do for our families how do we yield to the word in such a way that we can create wealth for our families like God designed four levels of value what are they I'm going to show you what they are and then after I show you what they are I am going to show you where it's at in the Bible and then we're going to look at how it ties in with the very first success principle the Bible and I'm going to show you some things that you can do to elevate your communication so you can elevate your compensation y'all ready everybody say I'm ready okay here we go so the four levels of value are oops four levels of value are get a pen okay level one level two level three level four so the lowest level of value is implementation now you have to remember that wealth is spiritual why because once you understand that wealth is spiritual you'll understand why this works the way it works you mean wealth is spiritual okay so the resources that you use on the implementation level to make money is you use your muscles over time right you Hammer something you saw something you lift something you carry something you fix something you clean something I stated the um the Marriott TPA last night cuz my wife had an early flight and so it was easier for her to get up and just walk across the bridge then having to get up at 3:00 the morning then do traffic and then all that right so so so when we checked into our room y this is this is amazing y'all ready it was clean isn't that amazing novel concept here's what I know about rooms they do not clean themselves sometimes it seems like they mess themselves that's a different conversation for a different day but they don't clean themselves the hardest working people in any hotel are the housekeeping staff the people who make the least amount of money in any hotel is the housekeeping staff why because they're working on the lowest level of value it's not that what they're doing is not valuable it is valuable it's that the marketplace doesn't value manual labor times time like it values higher levels of value in fact if you're down here on the implementation level you're making somewhere between minimum wage and on the low end on the high end you might be making 80,000 a year and that's your this is your floor this is your ceiling and if you want to make more money what you got to do is you have to elevate how what am I where am I Elevate to the next level is called unification on this level the resource we use we use our management skills to make money we manage other people down here we're the person who does the thing up here we're the person who manages the people who do the thing are y'all tracking and on this level on the low end if I'm managing that Taco Bell that this person right here is working at I might make 40,000 a year on the high end if I'm a manager at a Fortune 100 company or let's say I'm a a man middle manager at Lockheed Martin I'm going to make 250 50,000 a year but here's the thing about making $250,000 a year as a middle manager in a Fortune 500 or Fortune 100 company when a business is paying you $250,000 a year they want you to know even when they're paying you less they want you to know they know they own you I ain't paying you to go to your daughter's recital that ain't that's your problem not mine right and okay youall track him okay use your management skills now managing people requires a higher level of spiritual Acumen than doing the thing yourself see muscles are a physical resource time is a limited resource people wonder why they can't get rich you can't get rich because you're multiplying a physical limited resource times a limited resource called time the only thing you can produce is a limited outcome is what I'm saying making sense wealth does not start to be created until you get above this line this is the level of value called communication and the resource you use here you use your mind and your mouth to create conversations that generate cash flow to create messages that move the masses to create messages that make money communication is where wealth begins to be created on the low end in on the communication deal 100,000 a year easy highend it could be 100 million a year 100,000 a year you get a job selling cars selling Insurance you could make 100,000 a year to 300 400 500,000 a year or more right depending on who you're selling it to you sell real in in real estate but man what if you're what if you're a songwriter and you write songs for aist singers you could be making $100 million a year what if you're what if you're Taylor Swift and you write your songs and produce them and own them sing s communication level what if what if you're an actor like Denzel Washington I know I remind you of Denai Washington that's not the point what if you're an actor like denza Washington well guess what you could be making $100 million a year pretending to be somebody else that's amazing to me I know what I'm going to do for a living I'm going to pretend to be other people and let them pay me right that's the that this is where the wealth begins to be created but guess what most of us aren't going to be Taylor Swift or Beyonce we're not going to be Denzel Washington we're not going to be Jamie Fox we're not going to be Brad Pit we're not going to be Angelina Jolie so we're going to have to do something other than acting and singing and so we got to figure something out well guess what entrylevel communication is selling writing books you could become an author the barrier of Entry is low and the potential payoff is INS sanal you say what's ins sanicle that's when maniacal and insane have a baby they name him ins sanicle okay so it's it's just it's just it's unbelievable it's unbelievable you write a book you can start a podcast there are people who've sold their podcast for hundreds of millions of dollars all they're doing is talking o Winfrey became a billionaire as a communicator she just interviewed famous people in front of the famous people's audience and migrated Their audience to her I mean why did here here's the problem when we were growing up in my era now now the modern day era the children say this to parents but in our ERA this is what the parents used to say to us children are be seen and not heard go well sit somewhere and be still and be quiet right nobody ever taught me if you get really good at talking you can set yourself free nobody ever told me that yeah I had to figure it out so guess what I did I eventually I when I started talking I wasn't that good at it but I've been practicing the highest level of value is imagination and the resource you use up here is you use your mind and your money to make money now all of us do some of all these but if you're broke you're doing mostly these if you're middle class you're probably somewhere in here if you're starting to break through to some wealth you you you made your way up here above the dotted line now I know what you're thinking oh and by the way so up here on the low end low low million dollars a year highend now we're up to trillions we got people who are trillionaires trillions of dollars individuals trillions of dollars worth trillions of dollars why because they come up with ideas now the people who make the most are the people who have good ideas and have the ability to communicate here's what's fascinating about imagineers when I I'm going to say a company you tell me the first person comes to your mind you ready Apple Corporation everybody says that Steve Jobs has been dead for 13 years and we still say Steve Jobs you know why because he was he didn't even invent the Apple computer Steve wnc did that and Steve wnc's still living but nobody ever says Steve wnc people don't say Tim Cook you know what they say they say Steve Jobs why because Steve Jobs was the imagineer and the communicator who showed the world what Apple could do for them see here's the problem when you're communicating if all you're communicating to people is what you have which is basically telling them what they can do for you they're not interested in hearing from you I said that too fast didn't I see but when you're communicating with them in a way that shows them that you've obsessed over their problem and finding a solution guess what they'll do they will chase you down to pay you how much will they pay you empty price you charge but in order for you to do that you have to get better at communication well how can I get better at communication the only way to get better at communication is to bring this down here and add imagination via contemplation like you have to be you have to become a person who thinks about stuff are y'all tracking critical thinking you got to add some critical thinking what is that that's asking a lot of questions then then you have some then you have cognition what is cognition now I have the ability to think about this stuff and figure out a way to put it in words so when it comes out of my mouth it makes people go but it requires work it requires practice people oh Mar you're just a natural-born communicator you obviously have no earthly idea and I know you have no earthly idea how much I have worked on this and how much I do work on this it's kind of like my good friend Kenny Grant said to me a long time ago said Kenny man you are like when you talk bro it's just so good every time I hear you preach it's like it's like first of all you look like you're just stand up there eating a really good sandwich and then you say stuff that just makes your mind explode how do you do that and he said I don't know man my mind just run that way and I thought he don't want to tell me that's what I thought he don't want to tell me he said yeah man all the people I read after their mind run that way and I've been reading after a long time my mind just run that way I didn't know what he meant I know what he means now like I don't have the ability to think any other way than the way I think and I don't have the ability to talk any other way than the way I talk and sometimes it just comes to me while I'm while I'm saying it yes sir why because I've got thousands of hours of practice thinking thousands of hours of practice talking you know what you do soon as it comes to your mind you blurt it out but what would happen if you refined it what if you took some time to take those thoughts and refine them like I don't have my my books in here but when I'm reading books man I'm like underlining stuff I'm highlighting stuff I got little sticky notes I'm I'm taking notes on what I'm thinking about as a result of what I'm writing if you like I did a whole video on how I read books it'll change your life if you start reading books that way right and I'm taking all these notes and then I'll take the notes and I'll put them in some kind of database categorically so I can go back and I can study them later and I'll go back and memorize the notes that I hook on my own thoughts so that when I'm talking about a thing right I'm talking about Focus well uh well what's the opposite of focus see this is this is a critical thing what's the opposite of f oh the opposite of focus is balance oh people say here's no how of balance oh okay well balance isn't the objective of Life the 11th commandment is not Thou shalt be balanced right balance is a season of life it's not the objective of life it's never winter and summer in the same place at the same time and you're never in focus and in balance at the in the same place at the same time so when you're in Focus you're out of balance and when you're in Balance you're out of focus it took me a long time to think of that and then I say it in a minute now it's gone but when I say it people go and see here's your problem you have a desire to be balanced and you haven't earned it yet you haven't earned the right to be balanced see but I didn't just think of that while I was standing up here I literally sat down with a pen and a paper in my hand and wrote that out a long time ago then put it in a Google doc and then went back and memorized it why because amateurs Wing It professionals know their lines if there are principles that I believe I want to be able to State them in a way where I don't have to keep saying you know what I mean you know what I mean you know what I mean you say that three times I promise you they don't know what you mean now we take this principle like what you we we have to combine these two we have to combine imagination and communication think better thoughts and figure out how to say them in better words it'll change your life people will become attracted to you here's what here's what they said about Jesus never man spake like this man they said he speaketh as one having Authority not as the scribes and the Pharisees see when you think differently you'll start talking differently okay so let's combine this let's combine this concept C I'm going to move it over because I don't want to take it off the screen let's combine this concept with I'm going to do a different color I'm going to do green again because it's a good color so let's combine this concept with this concept what is this concept B to have let's a it's going to happen whether we design it this way or not so you can either let it happen by default or you can make It Happen by Design what is that let your communication what you do flow out of your character who you are and then you can receive your compensation what you have see this is your I am statement I am I am a thinker I do speak I do use my mouth to make money or I do use my muscles over time to make money or I do use my management skills to make money I do use my mind to make money see I I do what I do because I am who I am and I'm only allowed to have what these two give me and here's the problem people have they want to have something they've never done the thing to get and they want to do something they've never become the person who can do it and here's the interesting thing about it where is the IM part happening it's happening under the ground you know what's interesting about beneath the ground it's dark you know what else is interesting about beneath the ground it's damp you know what else is interesting about beneath the ground it's difficult when you get up in the air man you you got no resistance in the air but when you you under the ground you got to push through some stuff and see the person you're becoming when nobody's watching is what makes you worth looking at when everybody's looking makes you worth listening to when you start talking but if you don't become this Joker down here you can forget all this up in here this is a that's a WRA how do you become a better Communicator so I'm going to tell you read more books especially the Bible and not just the half Testament what do you mean the half Testament I know you called the New Testament but you never read the Old Testament so it ain't the it ain't the New Testament you never read the old one for you it's the half is that too that too tough you don't you care you don't if you don't know if you haven't read the old you're not familiar with the old you can't even begin to understand the New Testament you can't it's just the half Testament for you read more but especially the Bible read books about things that affect your life take notes on your thoughts when you read them and then go think about what you thought about when you read it and spend some time doing that thinking is the hardest work most people never do read more books attend more classes workshops and seminars turn off all of your stupid electronic income reducers and go learn something what's an electronic income reducer the TV the radio the phone the computer the screen unless you're using it to learn something hey hey hey guess what if there's an area of your life that ain't working there's something you don't know and you think you have time to entertain yourself but my I like Amusement no you think you like Amusement because you don't know what amuse means the word amuse means think the prefix a means against Amusement is against thinking amusing you want to entertain yourself and you're broke my kids were teenagers when we got a television why I wasn't going to watch somebody else live in their dreams while we're living a nightmare don't you want to see them win I don't want to see them win I want to be them win I want somebody else watching me win why I'm look like watching somebody went go team go there's my team they don't know you boy they don't know you you are non-existent in their cognitive awareness of the universe they are more aware of the misquito that bit them 5 minutes ago than they are that you exist while you jumping up and down like you lost your mind I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it unless you're broke and I know I I know I'm talking a little tough for people but I'm talking from my life experience this is what I did see people want to have what I had what I have without doing what I've done and they want to do what I've done without becoming who I've become and I don't mean becoming my I mean just becoming the kind of person who go is willing to go learn the answers that are apparently missing I was not always a good talker I learned it wasn't always a good communicator I learn I wasn't always good with money I learned it and I'm telling you you can learn it too but you have to care too if you don't have any intention well then neglect will take over the day it's fascinating nobody has to intend or try to fail all they have to do is not intend to succeed isn't it interesting that success requires intention and failure only requires neglect if you're going to be clean that requires intention to be dirty all you got to do is exist don't take a bath all deterioration can happen without any intention at all this is why we have to become hyper intentional about everything that could make our life better and stop blaming other people for the reason reason your life ain't working so become a better Communicator I don't like to talk well congratulations that makes two of us now what you going to do about it I'm not good at talking well then go get better you learned how to ride a bicycle you couldn't do that when you got here either you learned how to use a computer you learned how to use a phone you learned how to drive a car and you think somebody you think God's going to let you off the hook cuz you say I don't know how to do that I got two words for you child please let's go become better communicators because when you communicate then and only then when you communicate better then and only then can you elevate and when you elevate then you get to participate in the compensate but don't put the cart before the horse you know how you can tell if your message is good somebody listening to you are they taking action on what you said if they ain't listening yeah you talking and you're really impressed with what you said but you are the only one maybe your mama let's let's become better communicators how can I do it here's what I can do I can become a better vertical communicator and if I'm not good at communicating ask God to teach me God teach me how to be a better Communicator how good of a communicator is God so good that when he spoke worlds came into existence yes sir isn't it interesting that we're made in the image of God like the whole Bible is just showing us how to be more like him the existential nature of the world exists because God is a communicator the experiential nature of the world in which we experience life in exists because of how we communicate you want a better experience of Life get better at communicating it's how God set it up now I can try to Fig oh I know what y'all wondering by the way I forgot to tell youall where is that four levels of value in Genesis chapter 1 who's wondering that I don't remember seeing that okay at least two of us thank you sister okay um when God created everything in Genesis chapter 1 wow I me I been going for a while when God created everything in Genesis chapter 1 he created three categories in creation he created creation he said let there be let there be light let there be a firmament above the heavens right let there be when he created creation he created creatures he said let the Earth bring forth and let the land let the waters bring forth let the Earth bring forth the land animals let the water bring forth the fish and the fowl okay but when God created man he didn't say Let There Be man and he didn't say let the Earth bring forth man that's how I know Earth ain't my mama and he didn't say let the waters bring forth man you know what he said when God made man and the word man is Adam which means Adam and Eve because God called their name Adam okay when I say man I'm talking about men and women when God created man he started talking to himself he said let us make man in our image and let them have dominion over the fishes sea the fou of the air and over every creep that move upon the Earth so God said let us make man in our image hm isn't that fascinating but when he said let's make man in our image that tells us something you ready the image existed before he said it because if there was no image he would have had nothing to create man in the image of so the image existed first that's the highest level that is the image of God that's the highest level then God said that's the communication but he didn't didn't say let me make man in my image what' he say let us make man in our image that's the unification but he still wasn't done Genesis chapter 2 what happened God formed that's squeezed Man Out of the Dust of the ground what happened God formed the man after he made the man then he breathed the man that he made into the body that he formed he breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the Man became a living Soul that's the implementation so when God created the crown of his creation he used imagination communication unification and implementation guess what when we're going to create the crown of our life it's going to require imagination it's going to require communication it's going to require unification in what way we are going to have to become congruent our congruency has to begin with becoming congruent with God and His truth did I say that too fast it has to begin with becoming congruent with God and His truth so when I get myself in alignment with God's truth now I'm congruent with him now I can be congruent congruent with me but see here's what H often happens we desire something over here and expect something over here and guess what that makes us a double-minded man or woman a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways let not that man think he shall receive anything of the Lord so we need congruency but if we have all of that we have all the imagination in the world all of the communication in the world the best communication in the world and all the congruency in the world if we don't do something and take an action it doesn't matter that's how you communicate to elevate I hope this blesses you in the meantime in between time stay blessed by the best we'll see you on the next video bye for now okay all right yes Trudy talk to me sister
