Welcome to Real Talk with Reginald D. I'm your host, Reginald D. On today's episode, we're going to talk about the power in knowing why you are here. Let me ask you a question. Do you ever sit back and wonder why you are here? Does the reason for your existence ever cross your mind? So many people live an empty life because they don't know why they are here. Not knowing why you exist will leave a void in your life. The reason you feel like you're not worthy is because you don't understand why you're here. I need you to understand that there is nothing more important in your life right now than making sure you know why you're here. Now, one thing I can truly say is that one of the reasons and the main reason you are here is because God has a purpose for your life. Your existence has a purpose to it, and it's not something small. It's going to take the greatness inside of you to achieve it. So you think having a great career is your purpose, but I'm here to tell you it's not. You may think being a mother or father is your purpose, but I'm here to tell you that it's not the reason you are here. It's just the responsibilities why you are here. Your existence is bigger than anything in your life. Do you ever feel like there is more than life than what you are experiencing right now? Do you ever have visions and dreams on what you want to become and how you want your life to turn out? I need you to understand that there is a power inside of you that's with you right now. It's called the power of accomplishments. You can accomplish so much more for your life. You just got to want to. It's time for you to get some traction in your life and quit having repeat behaviors that's not going to get you anywhere. In order to achieve your dreams and desires, first you got to be passionate and concerned about your existence here in this world. When you are concerned about why you are here, that's when you will do something about it. Your whole mindset will change when you become concerned about your existence. Your existence will start meaning more to you. It will become more important to you. I need you to understand that you have to surround yourself with people who talk about visions, dreams, and ideas. Stay away from weak-minded people. Remember, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Life gives you opportunities without promises. Life gives you opportunities but don't guarantee any results. It's up to you to produce the results. It's up to you to get the outcome you want. The reason you're here is to live out the plans that God has for your life. You have to live out the things that you are seeing. The things you keep dreaming about. That thing that keeps pulling at you and is making you desire more for your life is nothing but your expectations. But here is the challenging part. Expectations breeds success and expectations breeds failure. It's all going to depend on you. Achieve what you expect for yourself. I need you to know if you expect less for your life, you will respect yourself less. If you expect more for your life, you will respect yourself more. Knowing why you're here gives you your identity. If you don't know why you're here, and where you're going, you're going to end up lost, right? Have you ever been lost while driving to get somewhere and when you look around, nothing seems familiar to you? It's only because you were in a place that you wasn't supposed to be in the first place. But then once you figure it out and get to where you're trying to go, everything looks familiar. That's the same thing about knowing why you're here. Things are not going to look familiar until you get to the place you're supposed to be in your life. You're going to stay lost until you walk in who you really are. It's critical that you understand this. When you know why you're here and start walking in it, controversy is going to come. The closer you get to your destiny, things are going to come your way to try to stop you. But you got to understand that it's not you. It's what's going to happen because of you. You may be discouraged right now, thinking nothing is going right for you. You think you're not worthy because things are not happening for you right now. You feel like you're getting let down after let down. You are thinking it's you that's the problem. But I have to tell you, it's not you. It's what you're about to introduce and produce in this world. And there are challenges and other powers that don't want it to come forth. Because when it does, it's going to be game changing. So you need to look at every obstacle and challenge and say, I will win. I will walk in who I am supposed to be. I will achieve my dreams. You got to understand when you win, everybody connected to you wins. Your children win. Your family wins. You got to win. You are here to be a difference maker. That's what God created you to be. I need you to understand that. In order to understand why you're here, you must first be careful with what you embrace. Ask yourself this question. Ask yourself, is what I'm embracing connected to why I'm here? Is it connected to my destiny? If it doesn't add up, quit embracing it and let it go. The reason you are not walking in who you are and achieving your dreams is because 80% of what you do every day does not connect to why you're here. 80% of what you're doing every day doesn't have anything to do with your dreams and desires. So why do it? You're just getting in your own way. You will never achieve your dreams with 80% of stuff that you don't need. And you definitely won't achieve your dreams after the 20% you have left that's connected to why you're here. You got to replace the 80% with what connects to your purpose in life. Quit wasting your time. It's too valuable. I have seen people date somebody and recognize from the beginning that the person that they're dating is not a good fit or connected to their dreams or desires. But they stay in a relationship 10 years hoping that person will change. And they don't. Now they're wasting 10 years of their life with somebody that shouldn't have been there in the first place. When you are pursuing your dreams, you can't sit back and hope things go the right way. You got to make sure it's for you at the beginning. If it's not, don't waste your time with it. Keep moving forward. That's how you keep a positive mind. I need you to know that a positive mind will find opportunities while pursuing your dreams and desires. Let me say this to you. You are here not to be miserable. The reason you are here is not to be less than. The reason you are here is because you have been trusted with something that God has given you and he wants to birth it through you. That's how special you are. He chose you. You got to make things happen with your life and stop letting life happen to you. It's time for you to reveal your true self. When you know why you are here and start operating in it, people are going to think you are different. And it's because you are. And it's going to cause you to lose some people in your life because you're operating in what God has given you instead of being what they think you should be. Always be yourself. Be the person God created you to be. It's better to lose people than take the risk of losing yourself. You know, my life became much better when I realized why I'm here. All through my life, I was banging my head up against the wall trying to figure out why I'm here in this life. Now that I look back on it, I knew why I was here. I just didn't want to accept why I was here. I didn't want to submit to what God had for my life. I wanted to do it the way I wanted to. But once I understood my assignment as a motivational and inspirational speaker, once I embraced that about myself and realized that's why I'm here, I really started seeing the true meaning of my life. I was put here to encourage and empower people to live out their purpose and live their best life. And I am grateful for that in so many ways. Without this great responsibility, I would have never had the opportunity to connect with such amazing people as yourselves. That is the reason we are on this journey together. Trust me. You don't have to prove anything to anyone. Don't put that type of stress on yourself. The only person you got to prove something to is yourself. Continue to make moves, stay focused, and continue to build upon your dreams. You know what the problem is with some people? It's that they worry too much. They worry more than they focus. So you need to replace your worrying with your focus because you're not going to get anything done by being worried and scared. You have to trust your journey and keep moving forward. Step into who you are called to be. Know why you are here. Keep your confidence up. Keep your faith up. Know that you are strong enough. You are stronger than your challenges and more fierce than your fears. Don't quit, man. You are good enough. I need you to understand, no matter how tough things are right now, I know you feel stuck. Some of you have been crying for days, and you wish things and your days were different. But I need you to understand, no matter how hopeless and depressed you are right now, I promise you it won't be this way forever. You just got to keep going. I'm going to leave you with this. The outcome of your life is going to be determined by if you show up or not. Everything you do, you do it to win. Don't settle for less. Give all you got and watch what you end up with. Don't dream when you are asleep. Dream when you are awake. Your dreams won't come forth if you are asleep. They will come forth once you are awake and execute. And all you do, know why you're here. And don't worry about things that can't change your bank account. Thanks for tuning in with Real Talk with Regina D.
