Preparation Plus Patience Equals Success

[@theeasternfront6436]

A Shakespeare reading cowboy. You are something to be admired Dwayne. I’m not the youngest of men but this is a good lesson and it most certainly echoes the experiences of my life.

[@BenryDess]

That's the thing about Shakespeare - it's like nature. You don't need to be taught to enjoy it, it just happens on its own, so love of good writing just grows up out of the earth wherever you are.

[@user-hn9qg5qm3o]

There’s just something about this man that I could enjoy sitting around the campfire all day listening to him shoot wisdom into my brain. He never gets old with these messages of wisdom.

[@nicholasfurnari8691]

I'm realizing now, in recent years, how important patience really is in the grand scheme of things. Thanks for the reminder, buddy.

[@timcisneros1351]

Good advice Dewayne. My wife and I after renting our entire lives finally bought a piece of "raw" land near Flagstaff Arizona 6 years ago. My dream was always to build my own home. I just turned 66 last week. If we hadn't made the decision to buy that land well guess what? I would be 66 today and still just talking about it.. Talk'in about it twice ain't half as good as doing it once. TC

[@bulbakip6380]

Congrats! I really like that phrase. I'm going to use it! Picked an excellent part of Arizona to live!

[@kristiestephens5310]

God's timing is always perfect. Our patience....not so perfect. So glad you and Momma didn't give up on your dream!

[@rangerdanger222]

There is a saying I like that goes "Luck is where preparation meets opportunity."

[@cdb3847]

It's rare to find so much wisdom and intelligence paired with so much humility in the same man.

[@dkfirearmstraining]

My former high school football coach preached, "Luck is when Opportunity meets Preparation!"

[@everythingpotatoversion1201]

I love this , thank you

[@sealisland1]

I struggled for 15 years with my biz. I was about to give up when I decided to make one more sales call. That stop transformed me and my biz. I'm not rich by any means but pleased with where I am today.

[@romandyourte]

If I might add there is another side to the story as well. Preparation and patience is important yet some might never sail with the tide is high, always hoping for a higher one. One can spend the life to prepare and be patient yet never leave the port. There is a risk to be taken and we should recognize when there is enough preparation, the time has come to sail! :D Thanks Dwayne for the great videos! Hi from France 👋🏻!

[@sociallyineptpenguin6494]

Ive recently felt envious of a coworker of mine who already has a house out in the countryside and dogs. My dream is to own a house in the countryside someday. I actually go for drives just for fun on roads like these and imagine living in a place like that too. Im only 22 and have not even lived in my first apartment for half a year yet and already im yearning to get a house. But just today I paused and reflected. Im only 22, almost 4 years younger than my coworker. 4 years is a huge gap. I looked back 4 years ago, when i was a freshman in college, living in a dorm room I didnt get to choose, didnt have a job yet, didnt have anything going on other than school. Now I have a well paying job, an apartment, am financially independent, and have an amazing boyfriend. The most I can do now is save up and see what the next 4 years of my life brings me.

[@LauWasHere]

Thanks for the wise words. I've been on KZbin for over 11 years following my dreams, working hard, being patient. I've had my successes but ultimately I have yet to accomplish what I really want. It's easy to say work hard and be patient but after a decade, you begin to question yourself heavily. Especially in the age we live in where internet success seems to be obtained overnight by a lot of people who put little effort. It's been a huge breathe of fresh air to find someone else who waited more than a decade to earn their success, you're literally the first person I've ever known to be in a similar position as me. I will continue to be patient and prepared.

[@bangersoftheweek27]

Stay strong!

[@TexasNationalist1836]

I just made the best coffee I’ve ever had and I made it the cowboy way

[@PJ-yy1ig]

Lol

[@TheSuccessBureau]

Great video Dwayne. Like Earl Nightingale says “Luck is when preparedness meets opportunity.”

[@craig5477]

Having faith in yourself allows the patience to wait for the tide. This metaphor hit home for me. Waiting is easier if you are willing to enjoy the journey. Getting there is just the icing for me. Thank you Dewayne

[@legendslove39]

Towards the end you were talking about divine timing. Only a person of faith speaks that way. A very important element in life. God was making sure you were ready, and giving you the appreciation and gratitude at the correct time. Love you videos. Your like the uncle I never had wish I could smoke a cigar with you over a pot of coffee ☕ Peace and love brother

[@Trapezius8oblique]

This is so true …. Especially for me right now. I prepared my whole life and was mocked and ridiculed that I couldn’t do it, and to stop and give up. Well after many decades I nearly did. But God had my plans for my future in his hands and here I am owner/ operator of a cattle property and loving it fits like a glove praise God.

[@ladyketurahinwaiting]

Well said son. Very well said. I am old enough to actually be yo mama 😄 so I am not easily swayed or impressed. However, you and “Mama” speak and act with wisdom, kindness, patience and love for not only each other, but also other people and animals. When you two speak, I listen, I hear, and I pass it on to my own son because he needs a father figure who speaks wisdom and truth with love. Outrageous blessings on you, Mama and all your family 🙏💞❣️

[@rickshell4200]

Dewayne, a wise older man told me one time: “things don’t always happen the way you want them to, but they usually happen the way they’re supposed to”. Had your ship sailed 20 years ago we may never of had a chance to meet you on the virtual stage. I’m sorry for the lean years ( we all had ‘em), but I’m tickled that your sails are now filling with wind. Vaya con dios on this journey.

[@jasoncampbell3318]

I recently discovered this channel. And I am grateful. Since i was aa young fella, i read Louis L'Amour books and i felt they helped raise me...now i found this good man. We all need as many father figures as we can find...at any age. Knowledge was meant to be shared...from man to man, woman to woman.

[@ProCoach2373]

I personally believe that there are times in our lives where we can create our own spring if we want it bad enough and it's likely part of the preparation for God's timing and bigger things down the road. Patience and continual growth in God and our dispositions are key.

[@HarleyRiderMC]

Perseverance: continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition

[@taylorsims7080]

With everything happening now, I needed a good, wholesome, chat and this was it. Thank you.

[@k-tkoog2100]

i think our school system needs a mandatory class on wisdom just a dedicated class to thinking about life and all its good and bad directions one can take and how to make good choices regardless of how good you are at academics or not like when schools over you have at least an inkling of wisdom about things in general

[@Over_Taxed_USA]

I like these "talk videos" Duane, you have alot of life experience and equal parts wisdom from that. I enjoy your communication style, cool, calm and collected - with no side of BS.. This World needs more of you Sir! Cheers

[@Clayd6287]

i gotta be honest. im here for the cigar content. im not a cowboy but still enjoy hearing what you have to say about such things. I enjoy learning things even if im not going to use them.

[@GabrielMichele007]

Perfect day for your message. My heart is feeling Joy to learn of you and Mama's new journey of growth and togetherness bringing the relationship deeper, especially challenging your previous growth and work. Isn't that Lord Jesus? 😘 Always making sure we got it right by pushing us harder. Just like a good parent, so caring yet prodding us to greater heights. May your Heavenly Angels be refreshed. May Our Creator's Love for your family be unmistakable. Amen

[@MrBearbait75]

Lots of truth there, brother! Thank you for being you! Blessings.

[@johnnymetallica1039]

A few weeks ago I was passing through Sanderson TX and in walks a 6’3” cowboy wearing that same inner vest. It was raining and he had a duster. Not many places and not many people can get away with wearing one. Great video, again!

[@1HOTROD24]

Wow, Dewayne, in a short video, you give much inspiration that others would take hours to give Always follow your dreams. Ride the tide high God Bless .

OMG…!!! You are going to go FAR….!!!! Mark my words. Do you realize you are like the older brother, or Dad, that many many men have never had. Keep it up Dwayne..! Godspeed..!!

[@angelicasoophia]

Preparation meets opportunity. Good talk, the concept reminds me of the Bible parable from Matthew 25 of the ten wise and foolish virgins waiting for the bridegroom.

[@Hope-we3fd]

When you give advice, you make it so simple so that it can be understood. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. This channel will grow for sure because it has value worth sharing. ❤❤❤❤

[@darrinwatson8295]

Yes sir, thank you for saying this. I really needed to hear this. Now I need to focus and rebuild my life. Just like the old saying, the first step to getting back on your feet is to get off your butt.

Appreciate this word! Keep the wisdom morsels coming.

[@Greenegoat]

Thank you for another great video Dwayne. I unfortunately have a short fuse and it's caused me a lot of problems over the last 40+ yearts. I watched one of your videos last week and you mentioned staying "calm" and avoiding things that disrupt being calm. Since that video, I have significantly reduced the music that winds me up and increaesed listening to Tibetan bowls/meditation music. It works, thank you for being a good human, I truly wish you and yours the best my YT friend!

[@commove9615]

[@TMats100]

I think the school has all come together for you and your wife at this time simply because you have built a large following through your YT channel. That was no accident, the following was built brick-by-brick, because you have provided good information and entertainment to your followers. Godspeed

Wonderful Message Dewayne . You made it clear and relatable . Almost every one will need to hear this so they don’t give up . Reminded me of the story about a Gold Miner working in a Mine , who gave up 6 inches from the biggest Gold Find in History. ( So it’s told ). I believe, We may never know what God may have prepared , if we quit before we see it . Thank you Dewayne and Momma , for not giving up on your 20 year dream . 😇🐴 Big Bear Hugggs Laura 💜 Bear

[@corbinnaron785]

Thank you for doing what you do.

[@Scott-jq9ki]

As a Catholic I often look to the lives of the Saints regularly for wisdom and how to live a God-fearing, Christlike life. With that said it’s such a joy to see a God fearing man like yourself who can speak on the struggles of our times. I know we all struggle at times to live like Christ but thank you for offering your wisdom. It’s truly invaluable in a day and age when the older generations don’t recognize how much they have to offer.

You have no idea how much this applies to me. I believe in synchronicity, that God arranges "the affairs of man" to build a flood, and (to stay with the metaphor) he gives me all the timber I need to build a ship that won't break. God is all that keeps me afloat. I'm grateful he let me discover your videos at a time where I need to find direction and I need to rearrange things, be a better man. Thanks for the input, Dewayne.

[@carlsenlifeafter60carlsen11]

I think the reason why it’s becoming popular now is because the kids and people have moved away from the simple life. They are so absorbed with the media and the technology that they don’t know anything but that. So I have an I’m just out in the fresh air learning a simple life without technology is really the way to go so that they have basics. Plus it makes them focus on the now. They’re so focused on their phones and they don’t even know what’s going on around them.love your videos!
