If you live long enough, a lot of stuff will come against you. Somebody in your family going to die. Somebody in here going to get fired. Somebody here going to get an eviction notice. Somebody going to get laid off. Somebody going to get laid off. Somebody going to break up with you. That's life for what you going to do by the job.

There's some things down in you you haven't even discovered yet. Your wisdom is going to be made from the elixir of your pain. You don't know what you've done. God's until all hell breaks loose. You don't know what you can take until the pressure is applied to your life. You don't know what you can endure until people stab you in the back and walk away from you. You don't know how much courage you have until you've been under fire and under struggle and under tribulation. You can't learn what's in you sitting back in a lazy boy chair hitting the remote control watching HBO and cinema.

But when all hell breaks loose. When you say, I can't take this, I can't handle this, I don't want anymore, this is driving me crazy, you are saying I don't want to go any higher. Because moving forward and moving up means more problems. Being tried by fire and by pain. If you don't let it break you, if you don't let it destroy you, if you don't whip out and let it beat you down, if you refuse to be intimidated and learn. how to manage distress on the next level, then doors swing open. When crises strike in your life, and in a Chinese language, crisis means danger, but it also means opportunity. You have to show the world.

How to become resourceful. You've got to learn how to become creative. That's the test. Don't fail the test. Either are going to be emotional or rational. You will lose the fight if you get too angry. Because when you're emotional, you're not rational. You have to decide that you are going to be in control, that you are going to do what you want to do. Make a declaration to yourself. Declare all-out war that you're going to get out of this rut.

You are declaring martial law on your mind, mind control. Quit waking up thinking you ain't got no say-so in your life. You have a choice in this matter. You can't stop what happened to you, but you can doggone show do something. about what happened to you. Life is 10% what happened to you is 90% what you do about. The most powerful tool that you have right now in your life is your mind. That's why the enemy fights you in your mind with stress, with worry, with aggravation, with low self-esteem,

with pettiness, with anger, with hostility, with rebellion. And he can make you physically sick because your mind is sick. So you don't have to get out of trouble. You just have to get your mind out of trouble. There's going to be blessings, there's going to be miracles, there's going to be opportunities. Oh yes, there's going to be some struggles. It's going to be some challenges. It's going to be some tests. But even the struggles are an opportunity for me to show off the victory if my mind can handle the change.

You got what it takes. You may not like what you're going through. You may be stressed and overwhelmed. You may not be comfortable with your situation. but stop the next devil that tries to tell you you don't have what it takes. I may have some black eyes and some bruises. I may even lost some teeth, but I'm still here. I didn't give in, I didn't black up, I didn't faint, I didn't collapse, I didn't run,

even when I wanted to. You can get your mind out, you can get your money out, you can get your family out, you can get your job out, you can get your career out, you can get your health out, You can get your prosperity out. If you can get your mind out, no devil in hell, no weapon formed to get you, no enemy that hates you can stop you from being free. If you can get your mind out, grab yourself by the hand and say we're coming out of there.
