[Applause]
I see this generation we're living in
and the amount of just like kids who are
mindlessly like throwing their life away
becoming Drifters in a sense in society
just living and and seeking the wrong
things and me being in a position where
I am still a young man but I have
achieved so much in a short amount of
time and I'm in a very blessed position
in life I want to speak to you and give
you all advice on what first brought me
here the mindsets and whatnot that
brought me here but how you guys are
like you're living for for the stupidest
things chasing after stupid things and
you need to have an Awakening in your
head in your brain so today's video I'm
going to be going over three of my
favorite books that have honestly led to
changing my entire life and have put me
on a path towards success and towards
being a an an efficient man of God
getting into it starting off right away
first book that I say would always be
will always have a special place in my
heart being outweighing the Devil by
Napoleon Hill it is such an amazing book
and this book just growing up I always
thought I just thought differently from
every body else I thought nobody thought
the way that I thought I remember one
time I was dropping off one of my old
best friends in a college town I had to
drop him it it was on a weekend and I'm
driving through this town and I'm like
seeing all these I'll call I call them
crash outs you know it's a person who
mindlessly just drives into the wall
it's what they make the mannequin guys
do and those like car test so like I
call them crash dummies or crash outs
because not that I'm any better than
them morally or in the eyes of God it's
more so that I watch all these guys who
were just walking from bar to bar these
girls and guys who are just obviously
stupid drunk or high or whatnot and I'm
thinking to myself was a sober guy kid
in that car I'm like bro like what are
these guys doing I'm like this is what
they do like every day every night or
every single week I'm like this is just
like meaningless like it's just like
you're living for what what is the next
step what are you progressing towards
and I always felt like I thought
differently nobody else thought like
that and then I read this book and it
talked about Drifters and it changed
like everything bro it made me first off
get a better understanding of exactly
what it means to be a Drifter and how I
can be the opposite of that but it it
made me it was it clicked and I was like
wo this is like the way I always thought
about like other people in Life or like
people who drift through Society cuz I
never have been a Drifter I would say
but to see it it just it bro it clicked
for me and I feel like a lot of y'all
even watching this video you might be a
Drifter so I highly recommend reading
the book so I've got some points down
here because it's been a while since I
read it some full transparency I'm I'm
doing chat gbt to help give an
understanding but first is the existence
of the devil now it's not the devil in
the Christian worldview the frame that
they say that the devil is they said the
devil is not necessarily as a literal
being but a metaphor for the negative
forces within us that hinder personal
growth and success according to Napoleon
Hill the devil thrives on people's fears
and exploits them to ensure that they do
not reach their full potential so the
devil will make you in a sense a Drifter
by distracting you with worldly things
with money with with women with going
out getting drunk like these kids at the
at the college town bars just getting
drunk having fun doing drugs because it
limits them from reaching their greatest
potential rather if they were sober
minded like even the Bible teaches in a
sense you can become more productive to
progress in life to be in a more
efficient man but the devil will use
these worldly things that look pleasing
to you to limit you from reaching that
point second is definite purpose one of
the primary themes of this book is the
importance of having a clear and
definite purpose in life hill argues
that without a clear goal individuals
are susceptible to the devil's influence
which leads to Drifting without
meaningful Direction so making sure you
know a lot of us struggle with purpose
you know school and I this is why I hate
the school system it distracts us so
much because it throws all these
different topics and subjects that we're
forced to do and it makes us struggle
with understanding what we truly might
want to actually accomplish and do in
life so when I ask kids who are in high
school or college like yo what do you
want to do for a living there just like
I don't know and I'm like what are you
going to school for uh business like so
you're telling me you're putting
yourself in tens of not hundreds of
thousands of dollars dollars of debt not
knowing what you want to do but you're
just getting a business degree there's
no there's no definite purpose what's
the next step there's no plan of action
it's just like you're doing what
everybody else is doing because you've
been told to do this right you've been
told to go to school just to do whatever
my favorite Topic in this book Napoleon
Hill introduces the concept of drifting
or becoming a Drifter as one of the
devil's tools to control the Mind
drifting occurs when people lack a
definite purpose this makes them an easy
target for negativity in Failure
drifting becoming like when I was
watching these kids is like you're in a
state of mind where you're not really
seeking towards anything better you're
just stuck in that present day
repetitive day cycle of go to school
whatever come home crash out go out of
the bars crash out hook up with a chick
go play video games sleep repeat the
same process you're drifting there's
nothing you're seeking towards last
self-discipline and Mastery over self
the book emphasizes the importance of
self-discipline and control over one's
Thoughts by mastering their thoughts
individuals can avoid negative
influences can focus on positive actions
that lead to success I always would
stress when I started social media and I
would go over topics whatever like this
I would always say how key import how
the most important key thing you can
have is self-awareness when you're not
self-aware you will drift when you can
become self-aware of your own toxic
Tendencies that's where you will excel
as a man because you can become aware
you look from an outside Point looking
in what traits do I have that are not
permittable to allow me to become a
better man right so having that
self-discipline and a master and have
self-awareness you can master your own
self and you can get rid of those toxic
habits that you once had in order to
only put put in good topics and this
honestly leads a lot towards the
Christian world view of learning to have
self-discipline and Mastery of yourself
by submitting to a higher power I don't
believe you can be a fulfilled
successful man especially an
entrepreneur unless you have a
foundation rooted in God the awe of God
by John M is my second favorite book
that has really helped change my world
my life and my worldview of how I view
Christianity how I view God so it
explores the profound respect and
reverence which is a key word in that
book is reverence that believer should
have towards God number one is
understanding the awe of God how can you
change your toxic way of life unless you
were submitting to a higher power and
how can you submit or want to submit to
a higher power unless you were in awe of
him and in a sense you're also fearful
of him because of how great that awe is
it's not a fear that drives you away
rather a fear that brings you closer to
him it's a fear that was brought out of
love because it's a fear that purifies
you and makes you more like him second
point on this book impact on obedience
in sin the book argues that a true awe
of God leads towards genuine obedience
to his commands when believer is truly
rever God you're less likely to sin and
more inclined to live righteously when
you're submitting to a god you have a
awe for how great how wonderful God is
how much he has done for you how much
you can love him and how much he loves
you it creates a mutual respect where
you in a sense fear Him and want to
please him the same way I could say I
wanted to get straight A on my report
card throughout all the Middle School to
please my dad in a sense it was a it was
a light it was slightly driven by
wanting to please him because I had an
awe from my father but also a slight of
a fear for a fear against not a fear
because he scared me growing up not of
that it's a fear because I Revere him so
much and I an all form so much that I
wanted to please him through my grades
because of that it made me take action
to study more to make better grades
rather than if I did not have a fear for
my father or I didn't have an a for him
and I didn't care about pleasing him I
would have not cared about my grades and
I would have had straight D's or C's
instead of my straight A that I got
throughout all Middle School a catalyst
for worship the a of God is presented as
a catalyst for true worship worship that
stems from an awe of God that is genuine
and profound when I am able to worship
with my guitar it only is when I can
experience the Gratitude and the love
that I have for the Lord where I can
really have an intimate worship
experience when I am in awe of the
Wonders that God has done in my life and
how much he loves me and I'm in awe and
I Revere how great and wonderful he is
that's when I can experience the deepest
worship that is more fulfilling than any
amount of money that I've ever gotten in
life than anything else now if you want
to meet other fellow Believers join our
Discord The Crusade link Down Below in
the description we're doing Baba studies
three times a week Sunday Wednesday and
Friday I believe is what committed to
and I'm going to be doing them at about
9:00 p.m. Eastern Standard time I go in
I'll talk to y'all y'all can ask me
questions about literally anything
preferably relating to God and I'll do
my best to answer them getting to the
last book which was actually the first
book that I actually you know took time
to read Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon
Hill this is the classic and a lot of
people know about this book it's similar
to what I would say is like this mindset
aspect of how your mindset should be
comes crucial and it's taught very well
in this book key point one desire
Napoleon Hill starts by stressing the
importance of desire as the starting
point of all achievement you need to
have a definite purpose like what do you
want to do have a desire like a burning
desire in you to accomplish and fulfill
it second two Faith visual visualization
and belief and the attainment of Desire
reinforces one's ability to succeed Hill
discusses how Faith works with desire
and how repeating positive affirmations
can help one reinforce visualization and
belief thus transforming them into
reality now when I say affirmations I
don't want you to think of this as some
like cult like I have to repeat this
every single morning and night no it's
it's training your subconscious mind to
grow and accept towards mindsets and
ideas which is going to go in the next
point which is auto suggestion number
three this principle Auto suggestion
focuses on influencing the subconscious
mind through directed suggestions he'll
emphasizes the importance of feeding the
subconscious with with positive thoughts
and goals to guide it towards desired
outcome so the way I would explain this
is if you were wired in in a state like
where you grew up where you have a
negative connotation of the way you view
things you have to retrain and rewire
your brain to do this a big thing is to
suggest things to it positive things to
it reinforcing only positive ideals even
when you don't feel positive you force
it into your brain and over time your
subconscious mind learns to gravitate
and relate to more of these things so
now when you're trying to achieve let's
say a business in life and your
subconscious mind comes across a thought
that could potentially benefit that it
will bring it into your head rather than
before you had that concept of Auto
suggestion that thought would just fly
right by right so it's retraining your
brain to gravitate towards positive
thoughts like this what I got from this
book was to figure out exactly what my
one desire was going to be to be
successful in social media to have the
faith in God wasn't a faith in myself it
was a faith in God God grant me this
ability to become successful in this and
I started transforming my mind and my
thoughts into positive things anything
that could benefit my brand I started
telling myself I will be successful in
this industry I will do well there's no
doubt in my mind I will do well I'm
going to get it done I'm going to be
persistent at it and that's exactly what
I did and throughout that Journey
different thoughts video ideas
everything came into my subconscious
mind that I put into action that have
brought me to a point where I've been
able to grow millions of subscribers and
followers over all my social media
platforms and have been able to make a
lot of money and whatnot throughout not
that that's the purpose of it but I'm
telling you this book has helped a lot
with the initial mindset switch that
many of us need to have to go away from
being a Drifter to becoming a successful
well performing man uh so I think this
book along without witting the devil go
hand in hand read both of them and then
you need to have a foundation in Jesus
and God read the a of God cuz that will
keep you stable and will keep you on a
firm foundation so that you don't get
too full of yourself cuz at the end of
the day we're still I'm not [ __ ] I'm not
nothing no matter how successful I could
ever be I am nothing I am nothing
compared to what God is and I will
always submit to him at the end of the
day and that will keep you humble and
that will keep you chasing after him and
all these things come after so yeah
that's my favorite books that have
changed my life love you all join the
