Speaker 1 (00:01):
Ladies and gentlemen. It has happened again, over and over
and over. That God, the one we mentioned all the time,
He just keeps coming through. Another day, another chance, another opportunity,
another blessing, another gift from God. You are here, take
advantage of it. Start with gratitude. It affects your attitude,

(00:21):
which is in direct correlation to your altitude. Get it together, y'all. Yeah,
give God some glory. Start there. Steve Harvey Morning Show,
Shirley Strawberry calling for real Mississippi Monica Junior and the
legend that he is nephew Tommy Junior.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
What's going on today? Play?

Speaker 1 (00:39):
You know you talk about this a lot, about getting
into the circle that you need to be in, getting
into the right circle, and how fast do we need
to get there, and what's the benefit of us getting there?

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Well, let me say this to you.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Somebody told me once to take out a pen and
paper and write down your five closest associates and friends,
and then beside their names, write down their qualities, write
down their qualities and.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Any flaws they have.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Just simple one word, you know, strong, caring, you know,
a loof whatever it is. Now, when you get through
with those five people you have just described yourself. Because see,
when it comes to your people that you associate with
in your circle, you actually get to pick them. So
what you end up doing inadvertently and you don't even
realize it, is you pick people who you have similarities with.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
That's how you become friends.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
I heard John O'Brien say something, if you hang around
nine broke people, you will be number ten.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Command, association brings on participation. Now who you pick and
choose to associate with is up to you. The sad
part about this selection process is most people, instead of
choosing alone, just gonna pick somebody so they can have somebody.

(02:06):
But everybody ain't good for you. How many times have
you discovered somebody wasn't good for you? God, how many
times have you discovered somebody was around you that had
an agenda? You know? The guy worked for me, he
told me one time, and I argue with him in

(02:28):
the ground until he proved it to me. He said,
mister h loyalty has an expiration date. And I thought
that was the most asinine thing you could say to me,
because I'm a loyal person to the end. But that's
the problem. I'm a loyal person to the end and everything.

(02:48):
But usually and oftentimes, what you find out is the
person that you're loyal to has stopped being loyal to
you a long time ago. Loyalty has an expiration date,
and you need and learn how to recognize it, because
if you can recognize the expiration dates, then you can
end your loyalty too. But how many times have you

(03:09):
stayed too long? I stayed so long until it costs
me money in both cases, even the guy that tarted
to me stole from me.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
That's amazing, man. Wow.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
And as my father used to always tell me, best
lesson is a bout lesson.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
The one you paid for is the one you learn
the best. And I sure did so change your association
