Make The Main Thing, The Main Thing | Focus, Discipline & Purpose (Motivational Speech)

0:00Go up to the rear top and raise it to D. I'm your host, Reginald D. On today's episode, I'm going to talk about the importance of making the main thing, the main thing. Let's do it. There are two things about life. I need you to know. There are two ways to go about life. You are either doing life or you're living life. If you're just doing life, that means you're just taking and accepting what life is giving you. But if you start living life, that means you're in control and did take the life you want to live. Now, in order to get what you want for your life, you got to make the main thing the main thing. So many people are frustrated simply because they can't achieve what they want for their life. Let me ask you this. What are you going to stop being frustrated when that living life that you want? Now, let's talk about this. Have you ever thought you are too distracted? So you're putting in minimal effort for the main thing that you want for your life. And you're putting the rest

1:03of your efforts into distractions. So basically, you are minimizing your purpose and maximizing your distractions. You must identify your main priority and fight to protect it from distractions. You got to remain focused on what you want. Being focused is nothing but a decision. It's time for you decide what truly matters to you and then go for it. You have to commit yourself to it. So you can say that you are too busy to achieve what you want for your life. But in our reality, you're not focused enough on the main thing. Being busy does not necessarily mean you're being productive. Now, this is critical. Don't lose your identity because you're too busy. We're making the main thing the main thing. You got to know the difference on what you should focus on versus what you actually focus on. Just because you know what you should focus on does mean that you're actually focusing on it. I need you to understand that it's time for you to quit playing with your life and start loving your life. And in order to pursue what you want for

2:07your life, you have to first ask yourself, what do I really want? So you're just going to live not knowing what it is that you really want. You ever seen somebody that said they want something so bad and when they get it, they say, I really don't want this. And they do things like this over and over again in their life. And at the end of the day, they are still not satisfied. Put in all that working for something. And when they get it, they're still lacking fulfillment. All because they don't know what they really want. It's time for you to put your energy, attention, and resources on what's most important to you. Focus on the main thing. That's how you're going to achieve what you're trying to achieve. This is the way it's going to go down. You need to stay focused or you will stay distracted. That's it, man. If the things in your life don't push you towards your main goal, then it's nothing but a distraction in disguise. In order to make the main thing the main thing, you got to quick compromise it. Think about this. Think about the times you

3:12compromise in your life and it didn't pay off for you. It only sets you back. I need to understand this. When you want what you want, there is no compromise. I have lived by that for years, and it has paid off for me tremendously because nothing else mattered to me. But the thing I was trying to achieve, that was the main thing in my life. Nothing else really mattered. Because here's the thing. I knew if I focused on the main thing that I was trying to achieve, everything that's posted me will be blessed by it. I knew my wife will be blessed by it. Our kids will be blessed by it. Our grandkids, my siblings, my mother and father. I know that if I could just get this thing done, we're going to be good. You got to understand that's the reason it's so important for you to focus on the main thing. Because if not going to only be game changer for you, it's going to be game changer for the people close to you, and it will end up being game changing period.

4:13Let me ask you this. When was the last time you did a self-auto on yourself? When was the last time you really, really evaluated where you are in life right now, and the reason you were there? If you do a true evaluation of yourself, it will help you determine the primary thing you need to change. So you don't always need a to do this. Sometimes you need a don't list. Sometimes you got to ask yourself, is what I'm doing really going to drive the main thing I'm trying to achieve? All right, let's make a simple thing. I need you to think about no more than three things that is most important to you. Now, I'm not talking about your kids or spouse. This is about you. For instance, myself, one of the main things for me is health, physical health, mental health, and spiritual health. Now, how do I do that? For physical health, I got to eat right, exercise, etc. For my mental health, I have to live in stress and focus on the main thing in my life and give

5:14everything else minimum attention. And for my spiritual health, I pray, I meditate, I read the Bible, that's it. See, if I can keep my health intact, I can get everything else than I'm trying to achieve because my mind, my body and my spirit are in alignment and intact. So take the main thing you want for your life and then break it down into categories like I just did. I need you to know whatever you focus on is going to say a lot about you. That's why you got to choose what you apply your energy to wisely. Your results are driven by two things. Your focus or your distractions. The thing that matters to you the most should never come after the thing that matters to you the least. Keep the main thing the main thing. I need you to clearly define the main thing in life that you want. Stop wasting time doing things that's not aligned with your primary goals. Make the main thing the main thing, man. Set the standard and hold the standard.

6:20It's time for you to start living a life that you have been praying for. You've been praying for it too long. So keep the main thing the main thing and start living a life that you desire. Don't let me say this. None of us are perfect. Lord knows I'm not. The only way you're going to get close to perfect is when you walk in your purpose and who you are. The inner you is stubborn for the greater you. That's why you're frustrated. Simply because you're not feeding at the effort for your desires and your dreams. So you keep feeding the inner you with things but not the main thing. It's time for you to operate in a life that's meant for you and not the life that you've been tolerating. When you wake up every morning put in your head and I'm going to chase my dreams and what I desire. It's time for you to get relentless when it comes to what you want for your life and when it comes to the main thing in your life. And lastly, focus and make the main thing the main thing.
