Welcome to Real Talk with Reginald D. I'm your host, Reginald D.

 In today's episode, I'm going to talk about when your life takes an unexpected turn. Life is an incredible journey. It just depends on how you choose to live it, no more, no less. The problem with life is right when you have it all figured out, life takes an unexpected turn on you. This is where most people fail at getting what they desire for their life. They allow the unexpected to derail them. I need you to understand that the unexpected is going to come, but you have the power within to overcome it. You have the strength to redirect your life when the unexpected happens. If you don't use what's inside of you, you will feel defeated and lose hope and direction. And that's the recipe for disaster in your life. You got to understand that you can't be a champion without never being in a fight. When life takes an unexpected turn, you can either choose to be a victim of your circumstance or rise above it and create a new path. You have the opportunity to take your setback and turn it into your comeback. It won't be easy, but nothing worthwhile never is. I'm telling you, a lot of people are addicted to taking the easy way out. They are addicted to it. People like that will never be successful. Listen, if you take the easy way in life, you will never be successful. You are not built for easy. You are built for challenges. When you get that in your mind, then you will recognize how powerful you are. The reason people play it safe in life is because they don't have confidence in themselves to go out and do more. Check this out. How can you have more confidence in somebody else instead of your own self? You got to understand you have to believe in you before you can conquer this thing called life. God says it's better to put your trust in Him than to put confidence in man. You have an overcomer all in your blood. You just can't let the unexpected turns in life stop you from going after what you desire for your life. You have to understand when you allow things to stop your life, it messes up your whole inner being. You are no longer the person you're supposed to be. If something stops you from going after what you desire, you should be troubled. It should bother you. I remember somebody that had anxiety telling me the story. It was my mom, actually. My mom is an amazing woman. She worked three jobs, played for seven choirs in a church, and was going to college as a single parent raising me and my sister. She wouldn't let nothing stop her. But through all the hard work and sacrifice, she ended up being programmed. So now certain things gave her anxiety. I remember my mom telling me that when she drives, she would get anxiety when she stopped at a red light. She said she felt like the red light was controlling her and stopping her from where she was trying to go. I'm pretty sure she probably took off and ran a couple of them. You got to understand when something stops you in your life, you should feel something. It should make you uncomfortable to the point you react and tell yourself that you got to keep pushing. Let me be honest with you. When you have an unexpected turn in life, the secret lies in the way you perceive the situation. Instead of looking at things as a roadblock, look at them as a detour that's leading you in another way. And then go. And don't stop. Because if you do, you just made your situation a roadblock. Think about this. Think about how amazing you are. Look at all the things you've been through. Look at all the things you have overcame in your life. You should not be walking in fear because you have proven time and time again that life's challenges can't take you out, man. I need you to understand that your life is a journey. It's up to you how good your journey is going to be. Check this out. In order to win in life, you have to let the uncertain turns teach you. If you don't, you will never learn. Remember, a lesson unlearned is a lesson repeated. When you allow life circumstances to teach you, it will reveal parts of you that you didn't even know existed. Now you have a chance to rediscover your purpose, passion, and your potential. When you got purpose, passion, and potential, you can't be stopped. I need you to understand that in life, you need to focus on the lessons and not the hurt. That's the way you keep growing. Most people do it the opposite. They focus on the hurt instead of the lesson and they end up stuck in life. They walk around with their hurt for years and don't realize that they already been healed from it. They just don't see it because they are focusing on the hurt. Let me ask you a question. Why are you letting something that happened years ago keep you down? Don't give that situation that much power. That's how you overcoming, by rising up and move forward with your life. Check this out. The things you need to pull from in your life are the moments when you thought you couldn't go any further. The moments when you thought that you never would have made it. Yet, you're here today because you stood up and conquered your challenges and have grown stronger because of them. You believe in you. That's how you win, man. I need you to understand that you have to embrace your discomfort because it's the birthplace of your growth. You have to stretch beyond your comfort zone because that's where the magic happens. Every obstacle in your life is nothing but an opportunity. Remember, you got this working for you too. You can do all things through Christ who stretches you. I need you to know that your current situation is not your ending. It's actually your beginning. You just got to begin to overcome. You got to begin to conquer it. You got the power. You just need to walk in it. You are setting yourself short when you don't walk in power. That's when you allow things to come in your life and handle you any kind of way. Walk in power. You are not a lightweight. You carry weight. That's how you're built. Nothing shouldn't intimidate you. Stop saying you can't. You can and you should. Trust me, luck didn't bring you this far. You and God did. You just got to have faith. Listen, faith is like WiFi. It's invisible, but it has the power to connect you to what you need. You got so much going for you. You just have to put it all together. I need you to understand that your journey is meant to be special. The reason it's special is because it's yours. You can take it where you want it to go. You got to refuse to be anything but great on your journey. That's how you rise above the rest. Check this out. People walk around in their life thinking it's normal to be not better. That's not true. A matter of fact, that's not life. Life is designed for you to be better. It's designed for you to grow. The only wealth opportunities you have is people. As I got older, I realized that I don't need a bunch of friends. I just need people who believe in me in my life. That's it. In life, you got to have motivation around you. That's how you supersede. You can't have weak people in your life. They would end up bringing you down every time. Check this out. Have you ever seen two drunk people walking down the street trying to hold each other up? What eventually ends up happening? They both end up falling down. On the contrary, you have to go to the dressing room every single day of the week. You have to hang around strong people on your journey. Now I'm gonna lead you with this. Your life is not about the destination. It's about the journey and the person you become along the way. So embrace every twist, every turn, and every unexpected moment. It is in those moments that you'll discover the true essence of who you are. Always remember to believe in yourself. Keep moving forward and never give up. Don't quit. You got this.
