When Will You Create Your Tyler Perry Moment?
You know YOU have to CREATE IT, right?
Because it’s not just going to happen.
When will you do the thing that allows you to achieve the dreams that you have for yourself?
If you feel like you have it in you to build something that will empower others and help them to empower others, in turn, when will you build that thing?
If you feel like you have greatness in you that the world does not yet see—like you have a real contribution to make—if you don’t make the world see it, who’s going to do it for you?
We can’t all buy an Army base
Or build a studio that dwarfs Hollywood.
But we can all stand in front of our smartphone inside our home and speak our dreams into reality by sharing our talents with the world.
For some of you, a basic setup like what you see above is all you’ll need to manifest anything you want.
You just have to take action and do it.
You can create your own Tyler Perry success story
It won’t happen right away, just as it did not happen right away for Tyler Perry.
But it will never happen if you never start moving towards it.

Too many folks kick the can until the New Year
Every day is a chance to make something good happen.
How many days do you throw away when you think “I’ll get started next year?”
Over the course of a lifetime, those thrown away days add up to thrown away years.
Thrown away years add up to a lot of regret at the end
If you’re reading this, you’re very likely not a teenager. Teenagers have all the time in the world and don’t value it.
If you’re past 30 and haven’t learned how precious time is yet, check out 30 Lessons for Living: Tried and True Advice from the Wisest Americans.
It’s a book full of interviews with senior citizens sharing perspectives on life that only those who have lived long enough to experience all the phases of life can offer.
I’ll give you a couple of insights from the book:
The elderly know that they have more days behind them than ahead, so they have a profound appreciation for time. You’d be wise to develop such an appreciation while you have more days ahead of you than behind.
And I don’t mean pay it lip service.
You can’t be thankful for today and throw away the opportunity it brings at the same time. You appreciate today by maximizing the opportunity that was given to you today.
“I’ll do it next week” or even worse, “I’ll do it next year” is the opposite of appreciating the opportunity that each day brings.
Tomorrow is not promised.
Fear is a waste of time
Another lesson from the book is that being scared is a waste of time.
So many of the interviewees shared that fear was something they wasted way too much of their lives being held back by.
It was only through the passage of time that they realized how silly it is to be afraid.
What scared them to death as teenagers was silly when they were 30. What scared them at 30 looked ridiculous as they neared 40.
The lesson is that fear is irrational.
Below, you’ll see someone who was scared to death to go on camera. Look at what she was able to produce on her very first day by doing it scared:
In just a couple of hours, she went from almost too scared to try to what you just saw.
Being afraid to try is foolish
The worst thing that can happen is you’ll learn something through failure.
And how about considering the best thing that can happen for a change?…that you might actually be great at something you try.
That’s the big, recurring lesson from those senior citizens
You don’t want to end up old with a bunch of regrets for lack of trying.
None of them regretted the things they tried and failed at. What they regretted was all the things they never attempted for fear of failing.
That’s a powerful lesson: The regret that results from being afraid to fail stays with you forever, whereas actual failures themselves get forgotten.
So, again, I ask:
When will you create your Tyler Perry moment?
There’s lots of dreams out here, but dreaming without action is just wasting the precious little time you get on this Earth.
