0:01 today in the inspirational corner I want
0:03 to talk about something that happened
0:04 recently with a friend of mine he called
0:07 me up he said uh you know you're
0:08 contagious I said why am I contagious he
0:10 said you know I'm spending some time
0:11 working with you and now I'm going to
0:12 start my own business I said great man
0:14 that's great he said well when you see
0:16 it you know don't it's nothing it's
0:18 nothing impressive and I was explaining
0:20 to him never never despise Small
0:23 Beginnings the Bible says that never
0:24 never despise Small Beginnings there are
0:28 things that happened that can happen out
0:30 of the smallest little
0:33 start that can change the
0:35 world I also he was telling me how
0:38 frustrated he was because nobody notices
0:41 him or nobody sees him or nobody will
0:43 give him a break and I explained to him
0:46 about in my own life how sometimes
0:48 sometimes people are out trying they're
0:50 pushing they're getting cars they're
0:51 trying to be seen they're doing all of
0:55 this stuff sometimes God will hide you
0:56 and let me tell you how I know that in
0:59 my own life I I was under the radar for
1:01 a very very long time and and for the
1:04 most part I still am um believe it or
1:08 not I really am um you I I was kept from
1:11 a lot of things a lot kept from being
1:14 exposed to a lot of business um ideas
1:19 and business situations and business um
1:22 um thoughts or how things were run and
1:25 by me being kept away from that it
1:29 allowed me to not be tainted by it so
1:31 sometimes you have to be hidden
1:32 sometimes people are not supposed to
1:34 recognize you sometimes people are not
1:36 supposed to invite you to the table you
1:37 can't be angry about it you need to
1:40 accept it and find out why why am I
1:43 being hidden because I tell you now had
1:47 I went the route that I wanted to go
1:48 what would have happened is I would have
1:51 ended up in Hollywood and did the deals
1:53 that everybody else had done and there
1:57 would be nothing different nothing um
2:00 spectacular about the blessings that
2:04 received it would just be an an average um
2:05 um
2:08 story but because I was hidden because I
2:10 didn't know how it went because I didn't
2:14 know uh how things were supposed to go
2:17 in film and television that ignorance
2:21 allowed me to carve my own way I know
2:22 this may be difficult for some people to
2:24 understand but but hear me clearly when
2:28 I say this because I was hidden because
2:31 nobody knew what was going on with the
2:33 success that I was having on the plays
2:35 it was all Underground when I got there
2:38 I was able to make deals that were
2:41 unprecedented they didn't think there
2:44 was anything to it because they didn't
2:47 know who I was completely
2:49 underestimated the great thing about
2:51 being hidden is that you can be
2:53 underestimated and when you're hidden
2:55 and you're underestimated you're able to
2:58 do some things that will
3:03 um not only change your path your life
3:05 but the lives of millions of people the
3:07 ones around you your children your
3:09 family it will uplift and change
3:13 everybody and everything so what I say
3:15 to you is if you're struggling and
3:18 you're fighting to be seen
3:21 sometimes you're supposed to be hidden
3:24 it's not your time to be seen yet stay
3:27 the course learn what you can walk in
3:29 the path that you're supposed to at this time
3:30 time
3:33 and at the right time God will reveal
3:36 you your talents and everything you've
3:38 done to the world in the meantime prepare
