Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh h, I sure will A good morning everybody you
are listening to the voice, come on, dig me now
want and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man
o man o man? How good is God to me?
And part of the mission and the reason that I
have a radio show is to become a share of
(00:22):
more and more of a share of you know. I
used to hear my mother say it to me all
the time, But God blesses you to become a blessing.
And I think the more you understand that about yourself,
I think the more blessings will flow your way. I
think that once you understand the principle that you know it.
But it's kind of tied together with some other scriptures,
(00:44):
and I'm not too knowledgeable about them, of course, as usual,
but I do know what I've heard you know, And
you know, if you look at something simple as do
unto others as you would have them do unto you,
wouldn't you want somebody to help you if you need help.
I just know how to get it down there to
where I've been able to understand it. If there's a
(01:08):
scripture similar that it says do unto others as you
would have them do unto you, or if that's you know,
in a prayer, would not you want somebody to help
you if you needed help? You've heard you reap what
you sow. Do you understand that if you so discord,
(01:32):
that discord is gonna come your way. That if you hate,
hate gonna come your way. If you blog nothing but
negative comments about people, your life will be filled with negativity.
If all you do is talk about people, then guess
what somebody got to turn that gun around and talk
about you. See, it just stands to reasons. So what
(01:56):
I've learned in my life and through all the trials
tribulations that I've had, is to take those lessons and
share them with people in case you ain't heard it
from somebody else. See sometimes, and the reason it seems
like I'm redundant at times is what I am is
because I'm always trying to find a different way to
(02:18):
say the same thing. Because it's a funny thing. Man,
You got to hear it a certain way for it
to click with you. How many times have I heard
a saying and then I heard it a different way
that it clicked with me? You know, I've heard of
(02:39):
this saying right here? Remember this now, everybody's not happy
for you. We've all heard that, right, everybody's not happy
for you. Well, that's very simple that I don't need
no explanation. That simply means of all the people you
know or do not know, when something happens to you
and you celebrating it, everybody's not going to join in
(03:01):
on the celebration. That's all that is. But then you
take it one step further. My father used to say
something to me all the time. He says, son, everybody
come with you, can't go with you. I didn't get
that when I was fifteen. Everybody come with you, can't
go with you. He said, you're gonna lose some of
these friends you got along the way, But I don't
care where you get in life. No, this right here,
(03:24):
everybody can't go with you. If you are constantly trying
to improve yourself, you constantly have to take assessment of
the people around you. Because if you are going to
continue to go and continue to grow, then guess what
you got to have people that's on the goal and
willing to grow, or else guess what you're gonna learn
(03:46):
the valuable lesson you know. The late boxing promoter Butch Lewis.
I was talking with Butch Lewis one time, and man
with a good brother. Man. He say, every successful man,
it's doing what I call he got rope work to do.
He got rope work to do. He got to put
in work on rope. And I'm sitting there listening to
(04:08):
Butch Lewis and all the money he had made and
all the people's lives he had changed, and all of
the moves he was making, and his incredible skills as
a negotiator on behalf of some very very wealthy people.
He was just an amazing man with no education, but
he read everything. He Butch Lewis read all that, all
the papers, all the periodicals. That brother knew everything. He said,
(04:31):
you got to put in rope. And I was sitting
there listening. He said, here is the analogy, little brother.
He said, you are on rope. There's a thick rope.
You have on no shirt, you have on some tattered clothes.
You have on no shoes. Your shorts is cut off
just below the knee and they tattered, and you got
(04:51):
dirt on you and you're sweating. There's this huge, huge
raw rope over your shoulder. That's burn marks on all
of your show connected to that rope is a wagon.
That wagon has all your weight on it, all your responsibilities,
all the people you're responsible for, all your children, your wife,
(05:13):
your family members, your employees, your coworkers, your friends. They
all on that wagon. Man, they're just sitting there. He's saying,
what you gotta do is you gotta pull that wagon
up the heel. Now. The only thing with it is,
can't nobody help you pull your wagon? You pull your
wagon alone. He saying, Now, what you can do along
(05:35):
the way of pulling your wagon as you can find
yourself a good wife, a good woman. He's saying that
what that woman does is she get down off the wagon.
She fan you while you pull it. She put water
on you while you pull it. She puts stuff in
your mouth while you pull it. She kicked rocks out
the way while you pull it. But she but she
pull it for you. But she is equally as important
(05:57):
as you are on the pull of the rope. He said,
you hear me clearly now, young soldier. He said, nah,
got this. Hell. He says, people on your wagon that
you're responsible for, But you want the people on your
wagon to help you get your wagon to the top.
So what you hope is that they got their foot
hanging over the side pushing, They got one leg over
(06:19):
the back, or maybe both legs over the back pushing.
They got they might have their butt on the wagon,
but they push you with both legs. They're back facing
your back, maybe some of them facing you when one
of them got left leg hanging over trying to push.
And you hope that all the people on the wagon
you pull it is back there at least trying to
help the wagon get to the top of the hill.
(06:40):
Here goes your problem. Though everybody ain't pushing, everybody ain't pulling,
ain't bar everybody ain't pulling, Everybody ain't kicking rocks out
the way. You got some people on your wagon that's
just laying on the wagon, drinking lemonade, looking at you,
talking about how long it's taking you to get your
wagon up to the top, looking at you, telling my
(07:00):
whitest wagon, so slow. Then when you start picking up
picking up speed, they want you to pull harder, you
to pull faster, you to pull mo. Then they want
you to throw what you then earned on the way
up the hill backed on the wagon so they can
have mo. But guess what. They ain't helping you get more,
but they got a sense of entitlement that since you
got mold, they should have mo Everybody come with you
(07:24):
can't go with you. Sometimes you gotta kick the people
off the wagon that ain't pushing and pull it and say,
hey man, I'm sorry. I thought I could do this
with you, and I thought you was going with me.
But it's clear to me you ain't nothing but dead weight,
and it ain't my responsibility to carry dead weight anymore.
I have carried you as long as I have to
carry you. You are no longer my responsibility. I'm responsible
(07:48):
for my family, my wife, my children. I'm not responsible
for you. You got to get off my wagon because
I'm a man on rope. I'm on a mission, baby,
I'm pulling
