- 00:00:33.645 --> 00:00:35.047
- I HEARD ABOUT THIS LADY. SHE WAS STOPPED AT AN
- 00:00:35.114 --> 00:00:35.948
- SHE WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. THIS MAN
- 00:00:36.014 --> 00:00:37.483

- FOUND A DOLLAR BILL. SHE SAID TO THE MAN,
- 00:00:41.987 --> 00:00:43.322
- SHE SAID TO THE MAN, "I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU
- 00:00:43.388 --> 00:00:44.089
- "I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THIS MONEY NOT BECAUSE YOU
- 00:00:44.156 --> 00:00:45.991
- THIS MONEY NOT BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT, BUT BECAUSE

- DESERVE IT, BUT BECAUSE IT MAKES ME HAPPY."

- IN JESUS' NAME. GOD BLESS YOU.
- 00:01:12.751 --> 00:01:13.519
- GOD BLESS YOU. I WANT TO TALK TO YOU TODAY
- 00:01:13.585 --> 00:01:15.654
- ABOUT WHAT'S BLOCKING YOUR
- 00:01:15.754 --> 00:01:17.289
- ABOUT WHAT'S BLOCKING YOUR GROWTH.
- 00:01:17.356 --> 00:01:18.524
- GROWTH. VICTORIA AND I WERE IN
- 00:01:18.590 --> 00:01:19.458
- VICTORIA AND I WERE IN ANOTHER CITY WALKING THROUGH
- 00:01:19.525 --> 00:01:20.692
- ANOTHER CITY WALKING THROUGH A PARK.
- 00:01:20.759 --> 00:01:21.293
- A PARK. IT WAS FULL OF THESE HUGE
- 00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:22.661
- IT WAS FULL OF THESE HUGE CACTUS PLANTS.
- 00:01:22.728 --> 00:01:24.029
- CACTUS PLANTS. THEY STOOD OVER THIRTY FEET
- 00:01:24.096 --> 00:01:25.297
- THEY STOOD OVER THIRTY FEET TALL, ALL KINDS OF
- 00:01:25.364 --> 00:01:26.665
- TALL, ALL KINDS OF INCREDIBLE SHAPES.
- 00:01:26.732 --> 00:01:28.133
- INCREDIBLE SHAPES. I WAS AMAZED AT NOT ONLY HOW
- 00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:29.701
- I WAS AMAZED AT NOT ONLY HOW BEAUTIFUL THEY WERE, BUT HOW
- 00:01:29.768 --> 00:01:31.203
- BEAUTIFUL THEY WERE, BUT HOW BIG THEY WERE.
- 00:01:31.270 --> 00:01:32.704
- BIG THEY WERE. AS WE CONTINUED THROUGH THE
- 00:01:32.771 --> 00:01:33.705
- AS WE CONTINUED THROUGH THE PARK, ENJOYING ALL THE
- 00:01:33.772 --> 00:01:35.007
- PARK, ENJOYING ALL THE SIGHTS, WE CAME TO A GROUP
- 00:01:35.073 --> 00:01:36.742
- SIGHTS, WE CAME TO A GROUP OF CACTUS THAT LOOKED THE
- 00:01:36.808 --> 00:01:38.143
- OF CACTUS THAT LOOKED THE SAME TYPE AS THE LARGE
- 00:01:38.210 --> 00:01:39.711
- SAME TYPE AS THE LARGE CACTUS BUT THEY WERE ONLY
- 00:01:39.778 --> 00:01:41.146
- CACTUS BUT THEY WERE ONLY ABOUT MY HEIGHT.
- 00:01:41.213 --> 00:01:42.614
- ABOUT MY HEIGHT. I WENT OVER TO THEM, LOOKED
- 00:01:42.681 --> 00:01:44.383
- I WENT OVER TO THEM, LOOKED CLOSER, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
- 00:01:44.449 --> 00:01:45.984
- CLOSER, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY THEY WERE SO MUCH
- 00:01:46.051 --> 00:01:46.818
- WHY THEY WERE SO MUCH SHORTER.
- 00:01:46.885 --> 00:01:47.719
- SHORTER. I SAID TO VICTORIA, "THEY
- 00:01:47.786 --> 00:01:49.021
- I SAID TO VICTORIA, "THEY MUST BE A DIFFERENT KIND."
- 00:01:49.087 --> 00:01:50.789
- MUST BE A DIFFERENT KIND." SHE LOOKED UP AND SAID, "NO
- 00:01:50.856 --> 00:01:51.790
- SHE LOOKED UP AND SAID, "NO JOEL, IT'S THAT TREE."
- 00:01:51.857 --> 00:01:53.659
- JOEL, IT'S THAT TREE." THERE WAS THIS LARGE OAK
- 00:01:53.725 --> 00:01:54.893
- THERE WAS THIS LARGE OAK TREE, ITS BRANCHES WERE
- 00:01:54.960 --> 00:01:56.495
- TREE, ITS BRANCHES WERE KEEPING THE SUN FROM HITTING
- 00:01:56.562 --> 00:01:57.863
- KEEPING THE SUN FROM HITTING THESE CACTUS.
- 00:01:57.930 --> 00:01:58.997
- THESE CACTUS. WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THEY
- 00:01:59.064 --> 00:02:00.432
- WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THEY HAD THE SAME POTENTIAL AS
- 00:02:00.499 --> 00:02:02.067
- HAD THE SAME POTENTIAL AS THE CACTUS THAT WERE THIRTY
- 00:02:02.134 --> 00:02:03.502
- THE CACTUS THAT WERE THIRTY FEET TALL.
- 00:02:03.569 --> 00:02:04.603
- FEET TALL. THEY'RE IN THE SAME SOIL,
- 00:02:04.670 --> 00:02:06.071
- THEY'RE IN THE SAME SOIL, SAME CLIMATE, SAME WEATHER
- 00:02:06.138 --> 00:02:07.739
- SAME CLIMATE, SAME WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE ONLY
- 00:02:07.806 --> 00:02:09.174
- CONDITIONS, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS SOMETHING WAS
- 00:02:09.241 --> 00:02:10.842
- DIFFERENCE WAS SOMETHING WAS BLOCKING THEIR GROWTH.
- 00:02:10.909 --> 00:02:12.444
- BLOCKING THEIR GROWTH. BECAUSE THEY'RE CONSTANTLY
- 00:02:12.511 --> 00:02:13.645
- BECAUSE THEY'RE CONSTANTLY IN THE SHADE, THEY'RE ONLY A
- 00:02:13.712 --> 00:02:15.013
- IN THE SHADE, THEY'RE ONLY A FRACTION OF WHAT THEY WERE
- 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:16.381
- FRACTION OF WHAT THEY WERE CREATED TO BE.
- 00:02:16.448 --> 00:02:17.916
- CREATED TO BE. I WONDER IF SOMETHING IS
- 00:02:17.983 --> 00:02:19.384
- I WONDER IF SOMETHING IS BLOCKING YOUR GROWTH.
- 00:02:19.451 --> 00:02:20.919
- BLOCKING YOUR GROWTH. ARE YOU UNDER THE SHADE OF
- 00:02:20.986 --> 00:02:22.187
- ARE YOU UNDER THE SHADE OF WHAT SOMEONE SPOKE OVER YOU,
- 00:02:22.254 --> 00:02:24.156
- WHAT SOMEONE SPOKE OVER YOU, TOLD YOU WHAT YOU COULDN'T
- 00:02:24.223 --> 00:02:25.090
- TOLD YOU WHAT YOU COULDN'T DO, HOW YOU'RE NOT THAT
- 00:02:25.157 --> 00:02:26.425
- DO, HOW YOU'RE NOT THAT TALENTED, NOW THAT SHADE IS
- 00:02:26.491 --> 00:02:28.460
- TALENTED, NOW THAT SHADE IS LIMITING YOUR LIFE?
- 00:02:28.527 --> 00:02:30.095
- LIMITING YOUR LIFE? ARE YOU UNDER THE SHADE OF
- 00:02:30.162 --> 00:02:31.129
- ARE YOU UNDER THE SHADE OF INTIMIDATION, AFRAID TO STEP
- 00:02:31.196 --> 00:02:33.365
- INTIMIDATION, AFRAID TO STEP OUT IN FAITH, THINKING OF
- 00:02:33.432 --> 00:02:34.800
- OUT IN FAITH, THINKING OF ALL THE THINGS THAT COULD GO
- 00:02:34.866 --> 00:02:35.867
- ALL THE THINGS THAT COULD GO WRONG?
- 00:02:35.934 --> 00:02:37.002
- WRONG? DO YOU HAVE FRIENDS THAT ARE
- 00:02:37.069 --> 00:02:38.170
- DO YOU HAVE FRIENDS THAT ARE BLOCKING YOUR GROWTH,
- 00:02:38.237 --> 00:02:39.638
- BLOCKING YOUR GROWTH, CAUSING YOU TO COMPROMISE,
- 00:02:39.705 --> 00:02:41.373
- CAUSING YOU TO COMPROMISE, DO THINGS THAT ARE HOLDING
- 00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:42.374
- DO THINGS THAT ARE HOLDING YOU BACK?
- 00:02:42.441 --> 00:02:43.542
- YOU BACK? WHAT COULD YOU BECOME IF YOU
- 00:02:43.609 --> 00:02:45.477
- WHAT COULD YOU BECOME IF YOU GOT OUT FROM UNDER THAT
- 00:02:45.544 --> 00:02:46.345
- GOT OUT FROM UNDER THAT SHADE?
- 00:02:46.411 --> 00:02:47.312
- SHADE? HOW HIGH COULD YOU GO IF YOU
- 00:02:47.379 --> 00:02:49.214
- HOW HIGH COULD YOU GO IF YOU MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS?

- MARK. I WAS TALKING TO A MAN AND

- I WAS TALKING TO A MAN AND HE WAS SO DOWN ON HIMSELF
- 00:03:17.209 --> 00:03:18.677

- HE WAS SO FOCUSED ON HIS PAST THAT IT WAS POISONING
- 00:03:25.584 --> 00:03:27.386
- PAST THAT IT WAS POISONING HIS FUTURE.
- 00:03:27.452 --> 00:03:28.754
- HIS FUTURE. YOU MAY HAVE MADE MISTAKES,
- 00:03:28.820 --> 00:03:29.988

- OF THE ORDINARY, TO TAKE YOU WHERE NO ONE IN YOUR FAMILY
- 00:17:16.180 --> 00:17:17.415
- WHERE NO ONE IN YOUR FAMILY HAS GONE.
- 00:17:17.482 --> 00:17:18.816
- HAS GONE. SOMETIMES THE REASON WE'RE
- 00:17:18.883 --> 00:17:19.984
- SOMETIMES THE REASON WE'RE IN THE SHADE IS THAT'S WHAT
- 00:17:20.051 --> 00:17:21.619
- IN THE SHADE IS THAT'S WHAT WE SAW MODELED GROWING UP.
- 00:17:21.686 --> 00:17:23.754
- WE SAW MODELED GROWING UP. WE WERE RAISED BY PEOPLE
- 00:17:23.821 --> 00:17:24.956
- WE WERE RAISED BY PEOPLE THAT WERE NEGATIVE,
- 00:17:25.022 --> 00:17:26.157
- THAT WERE NEGATIVE, INSECURE, LIVED GUILTY,
- 00:17:26.224 --> 00:17:28.126
- INSECURE, LIVED GUILTY, DYSFUNCTIONAL.
- 00:17:28.192 --> 00:17:29.527
- DYSFUNCTIONAL. NOW THAT'S NORMAL TO US.
- 00:17:29.594 --> 00:17:31.295
- NOW THAT'S NORMAL TO US. BUT THAT'S NOT WHO YOU ARE.
- 00:17:31.362 --> 00:17:33.197
- BUT THAT'S NOT WHO YOU ARE. THAT'S A RESULT OF BEING IN
- 00:17:33.264 --> 00:17:34.799
- THAT'S A RESULT OF BEING IN THE SHADE.
- 00:17:34.866 --> 00:17:36.067
- THE SHADE. FOR SOME PEOPLE, FEAR HAS
- 00:17:36.134 --> 00:17:37.502
- FOR SOME PEOPLE, FEAR HAS BEEN BLOCKING THEIR FAMILY
- 00:17:37.568 --> 00:17:38.669
- BEEN BLOCKING THEIR FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS, LOW
- 00:17:38.736 --> 00:17:40.338
- FOR GENERATIONS, LOW SELF-ESTEEM, ADDICTIONS,
- 00:17:40.404 --> 00:17:42.573
- SELF-ESTEEM, ADDICTIONS, MEDIOCRITY.
- 00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:43.908
- MEDIOCRITY. THAT'S WHAT GIDEON WAS
- 00:17:43.975 --> 00:17:44.742
- THAT'S WHAT GIDEON WAS SAYING, "MY FAMILY-WE'RE ALL
- 00:17:44.809 --> 00:17:46.310
- SAYING, "MY FAMILY-WE'RE ALL POOR, WE'RE ALL DEFEATED,
- 00:17:46.377 --> 00:17:48.279
- POOR, WE'RE ALL DEFEATED, LIMITED, AFRAID."
- 00:17:48.346 --> 00:17:50.047
- LIMITED, AFRAID." THAT MAY BE TRUE FOR YOU
- 00:17:50.114 --> 00:17:51.816
- THAT MAY BE TRUE FOR YOU WHEN YOU LOOK BACK AT YOUR
- 00:17:51.883 --> 00:17:52.950
- WHEN YOU LOOK BACK AT YOUR FAMILY LINE, BUT HERE'S THE
- 00:17:53.017 --> 00:17:54.418
- FAMILY LINE, BUT HERE'S THE KEY, YOU'RE THE ONE GOD HAS
- 00:17:54.485 --> 00:17:56.420
- KEY, YOU'RE THE ONE GOD HAS RAISED UP TO STEP OUT OF THE
- 00:17:56.487 --> 00:17:58.055
- RAISED UP TO STEP OUT OF THE SHADE.
- 00:17:58.122 --> 00:17:58.923
- SHADE. YOU'RE THE ONE TO SET THE
- 00:17:58.990 --> 00:18:00.258
- YOU'RE THE ONE TO SET THE NEW STANDARD, TO BE THE
- 00:18:00.324 --> 00:18:01.826
- NEW STANDARD, TO BE THE DIFFERENCE MAKER.
- 00:18:01.893 --> 00:18:03.027
- DIFFERENCE MAKER. DON'T LET THESE NEGATIVE
- 00:18:03.094 --> 00:18:04.095
- DON'T LET THESE NEGATIVE THINGS KEEP GETTING PASSED
- 00:18:04.162 --> 00:18:05.663
- THINGS KEEP GETTING PASSED DOWN.
- 00:18:05.730 --> 00:18:06.731
- DOWN. ALL IT TAKES IS FOR ONE
- 00:18:06.797 --> 00:18:08.332
- ALL IT TAKES IS FOR ONE PERSON TO RISE UP, ONE
- 00:18:08.399 --> 00:18:10.301
- PERSON TO RISE UP, ONE GIDEON TO SAY, "I'M GOING TO
- 00:18:10.368 --> 00:18:11.769
- GIDEON TO SAY, "I'M GOING TO STEP OUT OF THIS FEAR, THIS
- 00:18:11.836 --> 00:18:13.771
- STEP OUT OF THIS FEAR, THIS ADDICTION, THIS DEFEATED
- 00:18:13.838 --> 00:18:15.473
- ADDICTION, THIS DEFEATED MENTALITY, THESE UNHEALTHY
- 00:18:15.540 --> 00:18:17.008
- MENTALITY, THESE UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS AND I'M GOING
- 00:18:17.074 --> 00:18:18.409
- RELATIONSHIPS AND I'M GOING TO SET A NEW STANDARD.
- 00:18:18.476 --> 00:18:19.944
- TO SET A NEW STANDARD. WE'RE GOING TO BE PEOPLE WHO
- 00:18:20.011 --> 00:18:21.145
- WE'RE GOING TO BE PEOPLE WHO HONOR GOD.
- 00:18:21.212 --> 00:18:22.346
- HONOR GOD. WE'RE GOING TO LIVE FREE,
- 00:18:22.413 --> 00:18:23.714
- WE'RE GOING TO LIVE FREE, CONFIDENT, SECURE,
- 00:18:23.781 --> 00:18:25.283
- CONFIDENT, SECURE, VICTORIOUS."
- 00:18:25.349 --> 00:18:26.918
- VICTORIOUS." I READ ABOUT AN EXPERIMENT
- 00:18:26.984 --> 00:18:28.486
- I READ ABOUT AN EXPERIMENT WITH FOUR MONKEYS.
- 00:18:28.553 --> 00:18:29.086
- WITH FOUR MONKEYS. THEY PLACED THEM IN A ROOM
- 00:18:29.153 --> 00:18:30.755
- THEY PLACED THEM IN A ROOM WITH TALL POLE IN THE
- 00:18:30.821 --> 00:18:33.824
- WITH TALL POLE IN THE CENTER.
- 00:18:33.891 --> 00:18:34.492
- CENTER. AT THE TOP OF THE POLE WAS A
- 00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:35.693
- AT THE TOP OF THE POLE WAS A BUNCH OF BANANAS.
- 00:18:35.760 --> 00:18:36.961
- BUNCH OF BANANAS. THE FIRST MONKEY CLIMBED UP
- 00:18:37.028 --> 00:18:38.396
- THE FIRST MONKEY CLIMBED UP THE POLE AS FAST AS HE COULD
- 00:18:38.462 --> 00:18:39.864
- THE POLE AS FAST AS HE COULD TO GET THE BANANAS, BUT JUST
- 00:18:39.931 --> 00:18:41.499
- TO GET THE BANANAS, BUT JUST WHEN HE WAS ABOUT TO TAKE
- 00:18:41.566 --> 00:18:42.500
- WHEN HE WAS ABOUT TO TAKE IT, A LARGE BUCKET OF COLD
- 00:18:42.567 --> 00:18:44.268
- IT, A LARGE BUCKET OF COLD WATER WAS POURED ON HIM.
- 00:18:44.335 --> 00:18:46.003
- WATER WAS POURED ON HIM. HE SCURRIED DOWN THE POLE AS
- 00:18:46.070 --> 00:18:47.371
- HE SCURRIED DOWN THE POLE AS FAST AS HE COULD, DIDN'T
- 00:18:47.438 --> 00:18:48.873
- FAST AS HE COULD, DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO
- 00:18:48.940 --> 00:18:49.941
- WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THOSE BANANAS.
- 00:18:50.007 --> 00:18:51.309
- WITH THOSE BANANAS. IN A FEW MINUTES, ANOTHER
- 00:18:51.375 --> 00:18:52.577
- IN A FEW MINUTES, ANOTHER MONKEY CLIMBED UP THE POLE,
- 00:18:52.643 --> 00:18:53.811
- MONKEY CLIMBED UP THE POLE, THE SAME THING HAPPENED.
- 00:18:53.878 --> 00:18:55.279
- THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE BUCKET OF COLD WATER WAS
- 00:18:55.346 --> 00:18:56.681
- THE BUCKET OF COLD WATER WAS POURED ON HIM, AND HE TURNED
- 00:18:56.747 --> 00:18:58.349
- POURED ON HIM, AND HE TURNED AND RAN BACK DOWN.
- 00:18:58.416 --> 00:18:59.817
- AND RAN BACK DOWN. OVER TIME, THE OTHER TWO
- 00:18:59.884 --> 00:19:00.918
- OVER TIME, THE OTHER TWO MONKEYS TRIED BUT ONCE
- 00:19:00.985 --> 00:19:02.220
- MONKEYS TRIED BUT ONCE AGAIN, THEY WERE DOUSED WITH
- 00:19:02.286 --> 00:19:03.554
- AGAIN, THEY WERE DOUSED WITH WATER AND CAME RUNNING DOWN.
- 00:19:03.621 --> 00:19:05.756
- WATER AND CAME RUNNING DOWN. DAY AFTER DAY WENT BY, EVEN
- 00:19:05.823 --> 00:19:07.758
- DAY AFTER DAY WENT BY, EVEN THOUGH THOSE MONKEYS LOVED
- 00:19:07.825 --> 00:19:08.859
- THOUGH THOSE MONKEYS LOVED BANANAS, NONE OF THEM WOULD
- 00:19:08.926 --> 00:19:10.695
- BANANAS, NONE OF THEM WOULD GO UP THE POLE.
- 00:19:10.761 --> 00:19:12.096
- GO UP THE POLE. AT ONE POINT THE RESEARCHERS
- 00:19:12.163 --> 00:19:13.464
- AT ONE POINT THE RESEARCHERS REMOVED ONE MONKEY AND
- 00:19:13.531 --> 00:19:14.966
- REMOVED ONE MONKEY AND REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE.
- 00:19:15.032 --> 00:19:16.634
- REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE. WHEN IT STARTED GOING UP THE
- 00:19:16.701 --> 00:19:17.635
- WHEN IT STARTED GOING UP THE POLE, THE OTHER THREE
- 00:19:17.702 --> 00:19:18.970
- POLE, THE OTHER THREE MONKEYS GRABBED HOLD OF IT,
- 00:19:19.036 --> 00:19:20.738
- MONKEYS GRABBED HOLD OF IT, AND PULLED IT DOWN, WOULDN'T
- 00:19:20.805 --> 00:19:22.139
- AND PULLED IT DOWN, WOULDN'T LET IT GO UP.
- 00:19:22.206 --> 00:19:23.341
- LET IT GO UP. THIS HAPPENED TIME AND TIME
- 00:19:23.407 --> 00:19:24.508
- THIS HAPPENED TIME AND TIME AGAIN, FINALLY THIS NEW
- 00:19:24.575 --> 00:19:26.077
- AGAIN, FINALLY THIS NEW MONKEY GAVE UP, DIDN'T TRY
- 00:19:26.143 --> 00:19:28.012
- MONKEY GAVE UP, DIDN'T TRY ANYMORE.
- 00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:28.946
- ANYMORE. THE RESEARCHERS BROUGHT IN
- 00:19:29.013 --> 00:19:29.981
- THE RESEARCHERS BROUGHT IN ANOTHER MONKEY AND REPLACED
- 00:19:30.047 --> 00:19:31.482
- ANOTHER MONKEY AND REPLACED ONE OF THE ORIGINALS.
- 00:19:31.549 --> 00:19:32.683
- ONE OF THE ORIGINALS. SAME THING, THEY PULLED HIM
- 00:19:32.750 --> 00:19:34.018
- SAME THING, THEY PULLED HIM DOWN.
- 00:19:34.085 --> 00:19:34.819
- DOWN. THEY BROUGHT IN TWO MORE
- 00:19:34.885 --> 00:19:35.720
- THEY BROUGHT IN TWO MORE MONKEYS, NOW NONE OF THE
- 00:19:35.786 --> 00:19:37.421
- MONKEYS, NOW NONE OF THE ORIGINAL MONKEYS WERE IN THE
- 00:19:37.488 --> 00:19:38.689
- ORIGINAL MONKEYS WERE IN THE ROOM BUT THEY WOULDN'T LET
- 00:19:38.756 --> 00:19:40.458
- ROOM BUT THEY WOULDN'T LET ANY MONKEY GO UP THE POLE.
- 00:19:40.524 --> 00:19:42.526
- ANY MONKEY GO UP THE POLE. EVENTUALLY THE ROOM WAS
- 00:19:42.593 --> 00:19:43.561
- EVENTUALLY THE ROOM WAS FILLED WITH DOZENS OF
- 00:19:43.628 --> 00:19:44.595
- FILLED WITH DOZENS OF MONKEYS, NONE OF THEM HAD
- 00:19:44.662 --> 00:19:46.063
- MONKEYS, NONE OF THEM HAD EVER FELT THE COLD WATER,
- 00:19:46.130 --> 00:19:48.032
- EVER FELT THE COLD WATER, BUT NOT ONE OF THEM WOULD
- 00:19:48.099 --> 00:19:49.033
- BUT NOT ONE OF THEM WOULD CLIMB THE POLE.
- 00:19:49.100 --> 00:19:50.368
- CLIMB THE POLE. THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY, THEY
- 00:19:50.434 --> 00:19:51.836
- THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY, THEY JUST KNEW THEY WEREN'T
- 00:19:51.902 --> 00:19:52.703
- JUST KNEW THEY WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO HAVE THOSE
- 00:19:52.770 --> 00:19:53.571
- SUPPOSED TO HAVE THOSE BANANAS.
- 00:19:53.638 --> 00:19:54.872
- BANANAS. SOMETIMES WE'RE LIKE THESE
- 00:19:54.939 --> 00:19:56.307
- SOMETIMES WE'RE LIKE THESE MONKEYS.
- 00:19:56.374 --> 00:19:57.275
- MONKEYS. WE DON'T KNOW WHY WE CAN'T
- 00:19:57.341 --> 00:19:58.576
- WE DON'T KNOW WHY WE CAN'T ACCOMPLISH A DREAM, WHY WE
- 00:19:58.643 --> 00:20:00.378
- ACCOMPLISH A DREAM, WHY WE CAN'T BE SUCCESSFUL, GET OUT
- 00:20:00.444 --> 00:20:02.213
- CAN'T BE SUCCESSFUL, GET OUT OF DEBT, BREAK THE
- 00:20:02.280 --> 00:20:03.147
- OF DEBT, BREAK THE ADDICTION.
- 00:20:03.214 --> 00:20:04.148
- ADDICTION. ALL WE KNOW IS NOBODY IN OUR
- 00:20:04.215 --> 00:20:05.950
- ALL WE KNOW IS NOBODY IN OUR FAMILY EVER DID IT.
- 00:20:06.017 --> 00:20:07.518
- FAMILY EVER DID IT. THEY LIVED IN THE SHADE,
- 00:20:07.585 --> 00:20:09.120
- THEY LIVED IN THE SHADE, THEY LET FEAR, INSECURITY,
- 00:20:09.186 --> 00:20:11.255
- THEY LET FEAR, INSECURITY, LIMITED THINKING BLOCK THEIR
- 00:20:11.322 --> 00:20:12.390
- LIMITED THINKING BLOCK THEIR GROWTH, NOW WE'RE IN THAT
- 00:20:12.456 --> 00:20:14.191
- GROWTH, NOW WE'RE IN THAT SAME SHADE.
- 00:20:14.258 --> 00:20:15.660
- SAME SHADE. ANYTIME WE TRY TO MOVE
- 00:20:15.726 --> 00:20:16.827
- ANYTIME WE TRY TO MOVE FORWARD, THERE ARE PEOPLE
- 00:20:16.894 --> 00:20:17.928
- FORWARD, THERE ARE PEOPLE TELLING US WHAT WE CAN'T DO
- 00:20:17.995 --> 00:20:19.597
- TELLING US WHAT WE CAN'T DO AND HOW IT'S NOT GOING TO
- 00:20:19.664 --> 00:20:20.965
- AND HOW IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK OUT.
- 00:20:21.032 --> 00:20:22.199
- WORK OUT. IT'S EASY TO ACCEPT IT,
- 00:20:22.266 --> 00:20:24.035
- IT'S EASY TO ACCEPT IT, LEARN TO LIVE WITH
- 00:20:24.101 --> 00:20:24.802
- LEARN TO LIVE WITH MEDIOCRITY, "THIS IS JUST
- 00:20:24.869 --> 00:20:26.237
- MEDIOCRITY, "THIS IS JUST WHO WE ARE."
- 00:20:26.304 --> 00:20:27.438
- WHO WE ARE." NO QUIT LETTING PEOPLE TALK
- 00:20:27.505 --> 00:20:29.206
- NO QUIT LETTING PEOPLE TALK YOU OUT OF YOUR DREAMS.

- SERVICE, HE HAD JUST GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE.
- 00:20:50.027 --> 00:20:51.662
- GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE. HE WAS SO EXCITED.
- 00:20:51.729 --> 00:20:52.897
- HE WAS SO EXCITED. HE WAS THE FIRST ONE IN HIS

- WHEN HE TOLD HIS FAMILY HE
- 00:20:56.867 --> 00:20:58.102
- WHEN HE TOLD HIS FAMILY HE WANTED TO GO, NO ONE

- WANTED TO GO, NO ONE ENCOURAGED HIM.
- 00:20:59.403 --> 00:21:00.571
- ENCOURAGED HIM. IN FACT, THEY SAID, "WE'RE
