Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, you know what, I got some clothing remarks today,
and I'm just gonna get right to it. Y'all listen
to me. If you want to be successful at anything,
you got to want it, and you got to be
willing to get it. Because in wanting it, you're going

(00:23):
to have to be willing to go get it. No
one's going to hand it to you. It's not gonna
show up at the door and present itself. You have
to go and get it now. In order to go
get it, you're gonna have to have a strong will.

(00:43):
You got to be strong minded. You're going to have
to be determined. You got to have a made up
mind that I am going to accomplish this, whatever it is,
and I'm going to do the things that are required
of me to get it done. And when it get

(01:05):
rough out there, I'm gonna keep going. And when I
get knocked down, I'm gonna get back up. And when
they hate on me, I'm gonna keep moving. When they
throw the sticks and stones, keep pushing when they try
to bring you down, Stay on the wall, Be determined,

(01:32):
get your mind made up. Prepare to be different. You're
not gonna be like them no more. Once you make
up your mind that you are going to become something
that you are determined and hell bent on accomplishing your goals.
You're gonna lose some people along the way. I'm sorry,
you are going to lose some people along the way.

(01:54):
Get ready that those people that you're gonna lose, they
wasn't for you, no way. It's gonna surprise you with
some of the people you're gonna lose. But all of
them are dead weight. See, they was cool with you
as long as you was around them, as long as
you was acting like them, hanging out with them. But

(02:15):
the moment you make the decision to leave them to
go further and you don't take them with you, number one,
because they're not equipped to go into the orbit that
you're about to sell. That's number one, and God knows that.

(02:37):
But God puts people in your life to teach you
a lesson. There are people that in your life who
are there to hurt you, but in that hurt, you
learn a lesson. There are people in your life who
are going to betray you, but they are there to
teach you the lesson of how to spot betrayal. Because
another one is coming and ain't no need of you

(02:59):
hie or befriending him too. So if you've seen the
movie before, don't you don't have to buy a ticket
to that one. So what I'm saying to you is
in your quest for success, you are going to have
to suffer some things. But in the suffering is the
lessons that will prepare you for where you are asking

(03:21):
God to take you. It's all right when you lose people,
It's okay. My father told me this a long time ago,
and boy never, it never is nothing more true. Everybody
come with you can't go with you. You got some
people you've been friends with for a while, but where
you're going, they can't go because number one, man, they're

(03:45):
not built for the altitude that you're about to be in.
And if you try to take them, they're gonna be
like dead. Wait, and if you insist on taking them,
when they get up in them high altitudes with you,
they're gonna mess it up for you. They gonna do
something up there with something with them next level people
that's against the rules, and they gonna break you down.

(04:09):
Took a friend of mine, I sold insurance. I took
a friend of mine and grew up with the company picnic.
Biggest mistake I ever made. Biggest mistake I ever made.
Hood Boy took him to the company picnic because he
could play baseball real well. He had softball he was
gonna play and I was just gonna have him on
my team because body's dude could hit throw everything. I'm

(04:32):
over there, we through playing baseball. But he stay over there.
My boss is over there. All of a sudden, I'm
playing volleyball with these girls over here, and all of
a sudden out here, Oh oh no, I go over there.
My boss on the ground. He's standing over my boss

(04:55):
with baseball in his hand. He didne took the baseball,
ball it up and fift and punch my boss now,
then brought him to the picnic. I said, well, what
you doing? Man? He looking at me like I ain't
nobody now what you mean looking at you? He was
looking at me, man, you know that look whoa whoa, whoa,

(05:16):
whoa whoa. He don't know you, maybe, bro, what you
mean he was looking? Now? He didn't knock my boss
out because he was looking at him. Now. Guess what.
I ain't got no job no more because I took
somebody with me who wasn't supposed to be there, because
everybody come with you can't go with you. It's all

(05:40):
right to drop them off, folks, it ain't your job
to take them. And if God wanted them up there,
he'd have put them up there. So quit taking people
places that don't belong. And you're not the deciding factor.
And who goes high anyway, that's between him and God.
Be determined, stay determined, work hard, be relentless, be persistent,

(06:05):
and be willing to fight. And have a lot of
dog in you, cause if you ain't got no dog
in you, you gonna get bitten. But they don't like
to bite dogs that bite back, and you got to
develop that. Now. I hope that registered with somebody today.
But that's real talk. Everything I said is fact. Y'all

(06:28):
have a great day today. Talk to God. He was
absolutely love to hear from you. I'm finna go pray
because I got to go for yours. For all Steve
