Jacques LaGrange (00:33.108)

Listen, there are some things that we can't do. There are some things that we stop ourselves from doing. There are some things.

We're limited in because of laziness, because of procrastination, because of we don't want to do it how we feel that day. But then there's some things you just physically can't do. But don't let that stop you from getting to where you need to go into the next level. Listen, we are sometimes so afraid of the process. So,

We have an idea, we have a goal, and that middle part, that dash, that middle part, that's what we are so afraid of. We're afraid of it because we don't know how long it's gonna take. Sometimes we may start something and we may not know how many resources that we have, or when it's gonna happen, or when it's gonna get to...

to the point of how we feel when we started. You know how when we start something, we have this feeling and we have this feeling and with that feeling, right, you have this, man, I'm just excited. But sometimes through the process, you lose that excitement of the beginning butterflies and the beginning of wanting to do it to get you to the next level.

Jacques LaGrange (02:55.576)
That's the limit. Sometimes you may not have all the tools, you may not have all the resources, you may not have all the intellect, you may not have all the information yet. But guess what? What you are purposeful for and what you're supposed to do happens in that process. What you need will get you to that destination, but it will also get you to your overflow.

Don't be limited by your laziness. Don't be limited by your procrastination. Don't be limited by your feelings. Don't be limited by, don't have the resources. Don't be limited by your overthinking. Don't be limited by your past thinking. Listen, it's a new day. Do what is right. Do what you need to do.

All the stars are gonna line up. And sometimes because we have that beginning and we have that goal, we think that it's a straight line because science tells us and things tell us the quickest way to a point is a straight line. But sometimes we have to go zigzag. Sometimes you go backwards just to get accelerated forward.

Sometimes you have to go left or right, because maybe that's where the connections of the people that need to help you. That's sometimes where you meet the people that will give you the resources. Maybe you don't have all the money to build the dream that you want.

Jacques LaGrange (04:46.488)
But if I just kept you straight, then you may not make those connections. You may not meet the people that need to help you build your team. Only thing that needs to be streamlined like that is your alignment with God, right? So that you can receive the downloads to either go left or right. And stop worrying about the failure. We worry about it so much. Listen, I'm gonna raise my hand. I know I do.

I'm so worried about failing. But you know what I realized right now? To get where I want to get to and the things that I've asked God for and the things that I'm just anticipating to happen.

is I realize that sometimes I gotta take some L's. And you know what I realize? What I can do with those L's? There's a couple of things I can do with L's. Taking some L's, they become bricks. Take one L, another L, another brick. You know what else has a bunch of L's in it? Millionaire, billionaire, trillionaire. Don't worry about all the L's.

worry about doing what you need to do. And if you're gonna fail, listen, it reminds me of when I played football, Football coach would always tell me when I played running back, if you're gonna fall, because this is a game of inches and yards and things like that, if you're gonna fall, fall forward. Now you may not get the first down on, on first down, you may not get it on second down, but that's why they give you four chances too.

But guess what? You have a better chance of falling forward, getting close to your goal than anything. So it's the same thing with failure. If you're gonna fail, fail forward. right, failure has an L in it too. Building block. Fail forward, right? So you can eliminate those limits. Things are gonna come.

Jacques LaGrange (07:01.24)
Things are gonna line up. Things are gonna work out in your favor. If you keep this alignment and then you don't allow your limits to get you to your destination where your overflow is. Listen, I hope this blessed somebody. I hope this was eye-opening or mind blowing for somebody. So the two things I need you guys to do that I always ask you to do.

Make sure you live on purpose and make sure you live in purpose. I'll see you guys next time. Peace.
