Welcome to Real Talk With Reginald D. I'm your host, Reginald D. On today's episode, I'm going to talk about the steps to a successful life. Let's go. If you didn't know there are steps to a successful life. There's a process to this thing, and it has to be because some of you are like me. I didn't grow up with a successful life. We were poor and mom could barely make ends meet. So I didn't know what success looked like for me to even try to achieve it. So let's talk about the steps to a successful life. Step one. It starts with you. Even though I couldn't see success growing up, I knew what I wanted for my life. I knew that I didn't want to have to balance the checkbook like my mom had to do. I wanted to make sure that I could provide for my family without struggling. And I wanted to be able to help people if they need me. That's it. That's what I wanted for my life. So you got to realize that it starts with you. The first thing in being successful in life, first you got to know what you want. Now, I didn't say know what you want to be. Let's take the occupation out of it. What type of life do you want to live? What kind of lifestyle do you want? Once you know that, then you know what type of occupation you need to accomplish. The lifestyle that you want. The next step to a successful life. You got to realize that sometimes you're going to get disappointed. That's just the truth. You got to learn to get over disappointments. You keep letting disappointments tear you down. You got to learn to get over it. Think about how many times you've been disappointed. You ought to be used to it by now. I know I am. Disappointment is a sign telling you to move on. Some people were sent to try to discourage you. I know I've had them in my life. But I need you to understand that it doesn't matter what people try to do to you. It all depends on how you receive the negative from them. You can give up because what they said about you or what they did to you, or you can use it as fuel to make it go harder. Negative things from people was designed to make you go hard. Negativity was designed to push you, not break you. You can't have a successful life if you let negative things break you down. Now, the next step to a successful life is to wake up every day with gratitude. I am grateful for my life, the kind of life that I grew up in and some of the things that I encountered, I shouldn't be here right now. Some of you are the same way. You have overcome some challenges that could have took you out, but God's grace and mercy covered you. I knew it covered me hands down. Whatever you do, stop taking life for granted. I need you to understand this. The most beautiful thing about your life is that you wake up every day with an opportunity to achieve your dreams and goals. That's a beautiful thing. You just got to get up and work towards it and stop just existing. Man. The next step to a successful life is that you got to believe in you. If you believe that you're not good enough. If you believe that you can't have the successful life that you want, then your belief system is off. That's your craziness talking to you. Get your mind together and get your mind back in the game. Let me tell you this. You're ready. You are ready. You can have a successful life. You just got to quit being scared. To execute the next step to a successful life is your planning. What's your plan to achieve the successful life that you want? What are you putting together to get there? Listen, it's critical that you notice a person that has a plan for a successful life already knew it was going to happen. That's why they planned for it. The next step to a successful life is that you got to work your plan. It irritates me to see people come up with a plan to achieve something, but it's too lazy to work the plan. Why even bother putting all this together for your life if you're not going to do anything with it? The success of your life will begin when you become committed to what you want for your life. Tired doesn't mean stop. Just because you're tired doesn't give you permission to stop. If you're middle and tired, it does not give you permission to stop. You can't build a successful life like that. Stop is not one of the steps. You can stop when you're done. Until you push through some things in your life, you will never know what you're made of. A lot of people want other people to see their struggle. Don't let people see your struggle. Don't talk about your struggle to people. Let's see your success. The next steps to a successful life. You got to change your mindset. You got to have the more mentality. You can't be satisfied. You got to want more. If you want a successful life. You even at times that you don't get what you want, you have to put in your mind that something better is coming your way. You may have some losses in life, but it's not over. It's over when you give up. You can change your life when you change your mind or you can change your mind and it will change your life however you want to look at it. Something else that gets next to me is when some people say I don't need money. Money don't make me happy. As long as I got a roof over my head and food on my table, I'm fine. Everybody that has said that was people that were poor and wasn't trying to achieve anything for their life. I used to tell people that say that. Stop saying that to people just because you don't want more. Quit dragging everybody else into it. I used to tell people, if all you want is a roof over your head and food on your table, then that's cool. Just don't try to convince everybody else to be like that. Let the dreamers dream and let the achievers achieve. I used to hear some people say that they don't need money. People who say that is people who don't have money. That's the way they justify being broke. They will say things like money won't change me. My answer to them yes it will. Go get some and see how you change. If anything it will change your self esteem and how you feel about yourself. So don't let nobody talk you into having that poverty mindset. Go get yours. The next step to a Successful life make sure your daily routine is aligning with your plan to success. Some things you're doing is not aligned, then you got to change your routine. I need you to know small, consistent actions changes everything. I'm going to leave you with this. It's time to start dreaming about a successful life. It's time to wake up and achieve it. Have the courage to keep going even if you can't see the path clearly. Keep going. Life is all about changes. You might lose some people along the way. You just can't lose you. Some people won't appreciate what you bring to the table until you sit at another take. Remember, there are two rules to having a successful life. Rule number one, don't quit. And rule number two is to remember rule number one. Thanks for tuning in to Real Talk with Reginald D. If you enjoyed listening to Real Talk With Reginald D, please rate and review on Apple Podcasts.
