Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is something that I had to come to terms too.
I think I've been sharing with you all. I was
just been going through something over the past couple of
weeks and I found myself not taking my own advice
and I forgot to look at my track record cause
I'm human, you know. I forgot to think of all
God has brought me through. My wife reminded me, She said, Steve,

(00:20):
let me ask you something. Has God ever been too late?
And wow, he ain't. God ain't ever showed up late.
I s that's crazy, man, And but I'm grateful I
got somebody in my life that reminds me of stuff.
But I was going through some other things too and
trying to learn remember the trust in his timing. But

(00:42):
as I was going through it, I learned something too.
And uh, you know, I've been criticized publicly and you
know because of my statue in life, and nobody likes it.
But you know what I've learned learned of late and
I want to share it with you. I learned it

(01:04):
for myself. I heard somebody say a form of it,
but I kind of change it around. And so I'm
gonna give you something that I want everybody to focus
on because everybody has to know this information at one point.
To me, if you're not, it's if it's not happening
to you now. It has happened to you in your past,
and it will happen to you again. But you know

(01:25):
what I really learned, Stop taking criticism from people you
don't take advice from. Stop taking criticism from people you
don't take advice from. Man, this hit me like a

(01:47):
sludge hammer. Why am I allowing you to criticize me
when you ain't even nobody I would take advice from.
Slow your role, y'all. Pull this thing in perspective. Listen
to me. I was being criticized publicly, do you know?
And the person that was criticizing me. You know what?
I had to realize, And I want you all to
take this message because you have to. You can apply

(02:09):
this to whoever you are. It ain't got nothing to
do with fame, money, none of that. It got to
do with life, situation and them critical haters that come
at you. I had to ask myself. I had to
realize about this man. You are not who I want
to be. You not. You have nothing I want. You

(02:33):
don't You've done nothing I admire nothing I have really
got technical. You ain't even accomplished nothing that I've accomplished.
You've done nothing that I've done, but your study criticizing
me and honestly you really not even in my league.

(02:54):
And guess what, you really don't know me. I just
I'm done with it, and I want you to think
about that. Stop taking criticism from people you don't take
advice from, because if you think about it, oftentimes the
person that's criticizing you, you know what, you know what

(03:15):
really makes you look upside their head like you're saying
to yourself, you got the nerve? Who are you? You
ain't nothing I'm expiring to be. You've done nothing I admire,
You have nothing I want. You don't really know me, man,
it's just crazy man, and y'all. I just want y'all

(03:35):
to accept what I'm saying to you because it can
be so helpful. Stop taking criticism from people you don't
take advice from. And you know, I really know who
I would take advice from, and it's very few people.
But to allow someone who don't even know you, who
ain't got your sale number, who you don't even aspire

(03:59):
to be, You don't even admired them. There's nothing about
them you admire. They don't even have anything you want.
But you're taking criticism from them, but you drinking it
though't and you wearing it, and you letting it affect you.
But this is the same person you would not take
advice from. That don't make no sense. I am so
done with that. I am so you know, and I've

(04:21):
been done with it, but I just didn't know how
to verbalize it. But when I found this way to
verbalize it, I said, Man, I just want to share
it with people. Stop taking criticism from people you don't
take advice from. If you don't give, if you don't
have nothing you can advise me on. You ain't even
in the position in your life I want to be in.

(04:41):
Most of you are really far better off and further
ahead than most people that are criticizing you, if you
technically think about it, think about it for real. The
people who are the loudest in your life giving you
the most drama, it is only because you allow it to.

(05:04):
Because guess what, they ain't even really close to you.
They ain't even in your same league. You know, I'm
not really good at quoting rap because I'm not a
big hip hop head at all, and I'll admit that.
So I know I'm gonna misquote this, but I kind
of heard jay Z say something one time that kind
of made me laugh because it made me smile. He said,
I don't know why you talking to me. We in

(05:25):
two different leagues, were shooting at two different baskets. As
a matter of fact, me and you pay two different taxes.
So why I'm sitting up in here having an argument
with you. You ain't even in my same league. Bro,
We're shooting at two different baskets. Listen, y'all, stop taking

(05:46):
criticism from people you wouldn't take advice from. Gon't live
your life.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
That was really.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Y'all.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Have a great day to don't talk to God.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Absolutely love.
