Transcript

 Welcome to Real Talk with Reginald D. I'm your host, Reginald D.

On today's episode, I'm going to talk about the reason you can't stay down.

Let's do it.

Everybody goes through things in life.

Some people go through multiple things over and over again.

But what destroys a person is when they are knocked down and they choose to stay down.

That choose to give up.

Don't you know that your life was not meant for you to give up on it?

God didn't give you life for you to give up on it.

That doesn't make sense.

Just because you're down right now doesn't mean that it's over for you.

You may be at the lowest point right now,

and I know that is tough.

But while you at this point in your life,

imagine where you really want to be in life,

because that's the only way you're going to rise up from being down.

You got to tell yourself that it's more to life than where I am right now.

You have a special gift inside of you.

You were created to do great things,

but you keep letting things keep you down.

Let me ask you this.

Why do you keep letting things that's not important to you keep you down?

If a friend or someone walk out of your life,

so be it.

You got to take care of yourself.

You have goals and dreams to accomplish.

Plus they're not doing anything for you. No way.

They're not paying your bills or helping you come up,

man. Please let them go.

You got too much going for yourself.

That's the reason you can't stay down.

I need you to get this understanding.

Being down doesn't mean that you're being punished.

I need you to know being down in life is nothing but pressure.

That's unlocking your potential.

The only way true potential gets unlocked,

it gets unlocked through pressure.

That's the reason you can't stay down.

The only way your story is going to be finished,

it requires the comeback.

You can't stay down.

You got to bounce back.

That's the only way your life story is going to be complete.

It's time for you to get back up and dust yourself off.

Your destiny is waiting on you.

You can't stay down.

What's wrong with you?

Turn your setbacks into fuel and turn your wounds into wisdom.

It's time for you to get back up and get this thing done.

Leave being miserable to somebody else.

Don't you know that being down sometimes is part of the process in life,

but stand down is not.

I need you to Know that you are not defeated.

The only way you're going to be defeated is when you accept defeat as your reality.

You are not designed to be defeated.

That's the reason you can't stay down.

You are out of your element.

Don't let challenges paralyze you.

That's not what it's meant to do.

Your challenges are meant to help you discover who you really are.

If you let it paralyze you,

then it's totally on you.

I need for you to choose to rise back up and go after your dreams again.

Take your life to the level that you want it to be.

Think about water.

You don't drown by falling under the water.

You drown by staying under the water.

You drown because you chose not to rise up.

It's time for you to get your emotions out of the way and let your courage take its place.

I remind of the scripture, Isaiah 40:1st, chapter 10 verse.

It says, do not fear.

I am with you.

Do not be dismayed,

for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you.

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Here's the critical thing.

God will help you if you're willing to help yourself.

That's the reason you can't stay down.

Sometimes getting back up requires you to take the next step.

That's all.

Let me ask you this question.

What are you willing to do to have a life you desire?

A lot of people stay down because they overthink temporary circumstances and they're thinking they can't overcome it.

Most of the challenges in your life are temporary.

Quit treating it and giving it power like it's forever.

It's temporary.

Quit tripping and work through it.

The quicker you react, the quicker you will come out of it.

That's another reason you can't stay down.

Life is about adjustments.

I remember a time in my life when I was down.

I was laid off my job that was paying me good money back then.

I found another job but wasn't making near as the money I was used to making.

So I had to adjust.

I could either downsize and move into a cheaper place or get an extra job to keep living where I was living.

I chose to get an extra job because I liked the place I was living at.

But see, I had options.

I need you to understand that life challenges create options for you. You just got to figure out which options you're going to take and then make the necessary adjustments.

You have the capacity to stay grounded in your most challenging conditions.

I encourage you to keep imagining what you want your life to be and then pursue it with everything you got.

See, before I even had a platform,

before the podcast,

before speaking,

I had to see it in my mind first.

Don't you know God put you here to fulfill a purpose?

That's why you're here. And that's the reason you can't stay down.

I need you to make your vision bigger than your current situation.

There is no reason to play small when you live in a world where of unlimited possibilities.

You are not defeated.

You are in preparation right now.

God does not build strong people in comfort.

He builds strong people in chaos and pressure.

Be resilient.

Resilience is a trainable skill,

not a trait.

It's time for you to change and create the life that you've been dreaming of.

You can change anything you want and you don't owe anybody any explanation.

Now I need you to get fed up.

Get fed up with being down and living a mediocre life.

You may not change anything until you get fed up with it.

Another reason you can't stay down is because your legacy is at stake.

Ask yourself this,

what am I going to lead to? The people that's close to me,

your kids, your grandkids,

or whoever is close to you is going to thrive in life because of what you have accomplished.

That's why you can't stay down.

Lives are dependent on you.

So many times in life I wanted to quit.

But I had to realize that it wasn't about me.

It's about the people that's connected to me.

Now I'm going to leave you with this,

and it's going to be short.

Make your life a memory worth making and a story worth telling.

You can't stay down.
