Welcome to Real Talk With Reginald D. I'm your host, Reginald D. On today's episode, I'm going to talk about being solution focused. I've talked and I've mentored a lot of people. And what I found out is that the reason they struggle with getting ahead or achieving their dreams is the fact that they are not solution focused. They keep doing the same things over and over again with no results. It's all because they are not solution focused. They are focused, but not solution focused. They want to live their dreams. They want what they desire, but don't have a solution to get it. But here's the thing. When you come up with a solution, then it will empower you to finish what you set out to do. I need you to understand that you can't keep looking at the obstacles. You have to look for a solution to overcome your obstacles. You are allowing fear and doubt to stand in your way from accomplishing your dreams and goals. Fear and doubt is a part of the process. I get it. But finding a solution to achieve your dreams and goals is also part of the process. You just got to stay focused on a solution and not the fears. You are giving fear too much power over your life. John the fourth chapter and the fourth verse says, greater that is in you than he that's in the world. You are greater than any situation you come up against. You are. You just got to be solution focused. People on my team think I'm over the top sometimes because all I ask for is solutions. My pet peeve is doing reworks. I want things done right the first time. It's not profitable to do reworks. Nothing is great about banging your head up against the wall doing the same old stuff without a solution. When are you going to quit doing reworks in your life and start finding a solution when it comes to your greatness? Start reworking your dreams. Start reworking your desires and find a solution to make them come forth. I dare you to shut everything down around you for three months. get rid of all the noise, get rid of all the drama, and focus on the solution to make you great. Focus on the solution that's going to make your dreams and desires come true. Trust me, by the fourth month, you will be blown away on how much you have accomplished. Now it's going to take some discipline, but you got to ask yourself the question, is three months of discipline worth the lifetime of my purpose? If you're ready to unlock your full potential when it comes to your life, you got to stay solution focused. Chase your dreams, man. So you're trying to be nice all the time with people. And there's nothing wrong with being nice. But some of y'all are too nice. That's why you keep getting hurt by people. And frankly, that's why you can't achieve your dreams and goals. You're too nice. Stop being nice and start being a game changer. A game changer does not care about how people feel when they are in pursuit of greatness. Now, I'm not telling you to be mean to everybody. I'm just telling you to stay solution-focused. People may not understand it, but guess what? Everybody don't understand greatness. They're not going to understand the greatness inside of you. What people is going to understand is the person you used to be, and they will never let that go. But that's on them, not on you. What's on you is the greatness inside of you that you need to allow to come forth. That's on you, man. I need you to shift from being mediocre and a quitter to being a grinder for success for your life. Stop waking up every day being average. Stop waking up every day being good. Wake up every day and be great. It's a mentality thing. You got three things I just mentioned. Average, good, and great. Which one are you going to choose? It's that simple. You don't need permission to be great. You just need your effort. Can't nobody tell you what you can and can't be. This is your life. You choose. This is the beauty about the whole thing. You have a choice. It's all in your hands. A person with a dream is unstoppable. Let me ask you a question. What is your dreams? What are your desires? You can achieve it. You know that, right? I think about the three Cs in life. The first one is complaint. What are you complaining about when it comes to your life? What is it that you don't like about not accomplishing your dreams? This is what I call the problem. Once you understand the problem, then you can go to the second C, which is the cause and the problem. Ask yourself this. What is causing me to not be able to accomplish my dreams? Then once you understand that, then there is the third C, which is correction, which means what have you done to fix the problem? What have you done to fix the reason you keep failing when it comes to accomplishing your goals? Now, guess what sums up the three Cs? Being solution focused. That's it, man. Change the course of your life. Be determined to accomplish your dreams. Here's the thing. You didn't find your dreams. Your dreams found you. It's just waiting on what you're going to do with it. I'm going to leave you with this. You have to put yourself all in. And I know it's tough. Life challenges have hit you. Now here's the thing that you need to tell your life challenges. That you went for yours, and now I'm going for mine. You can't be defeated. I need you to tell the old you that I'm leaving you. I found somebody new. Tell the old you that you have found a new you, the new version of you. No more mediocrity, no more procrastinating. The new me is going to operate in greatness. The new me will achieve my dreams and desires. The new me will pursue the purpose that God has for me. So, you're sitting around thinking about your dreams and desires. You're sitting around thinking about your purpose instead of putting in the effort to achieve it. All you're doing is test driving your life. When are you going to own it and drive it every day? When are you going to start driving your dreams and your desires? When are you going to start driving your purpose every day? It's time for you to own your life and quit test driving. Allow your life to flourish. and drive it where you want it to go. The opportunity is yours. Don't allow fear to take your dreams away from you. Be the person you were meant to be. There is no one greater than you. Own your life and take it where you want it to go. That's the only way you're going to get there. You have to take control and drive your life.
