Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, here we are, Steve, last break of the day.

(00:02):
It's been a good day.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
I guess a lot of things have been on my
mind in terms of closing remarks because I tried to
really really cheat people, especially good people who are trying
to stay on the straight and arrow and the positive,
and it gets difficult at times. I had a young
man text me the other day and said, big dog,

(00:24):
I just need some of your wisdom. Man. I've been
doing everything, man, I've been praying. My girl is tripping.
I don't know how to handle it. It just seems like, man,
that God ain't letting this thing happen quick enough for me.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Man.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
And I'm thinking about going back to my old ways, man,
but I don't want to. And so I was just
talking to him about a way to handle it. I
sent him send him a couple of things, you know,
and he was talking about how heart it was, and
I just told him, I said, look, man, being successful
is very very difficult. Being successful were easy. Come on,

(01:02):
how many times have you heard that. I don't even
have to say it again. Everybody would be it. But
when you're going through something, folks, you have to understand
that you're being tested you're being processed and tested. You're
being pushed through the furnace, You're being molded shaped. Sometime

(01:23):
you get real hot in that furnace and you turn liquid,
and it looked like you ain't gonna be nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
But He just pouring you into this mold. That's all
he doing.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
All the trials and tribulations and hard times and difficulties
that you find yourself facing, he just molding you. Man.
He just getting you ready to receive it. Because when
you get it, people are gonna come after it. When
you get it, people are gonna want it. When you
get it, you're gonna draw attention all these things you
asking God for. When He give it to you, you

(01:54):
gotta be ready to receive it, and you got to
know how to appreciate it and handle it when you
get it, and you got to be able to stay
in all the storms that come with it. Because to
whom much is given, much is required. So guess what,
He requires a lot of you before he give it
to you. It ain't just to whom much is given,

(02:14):
much is required. Meaning after those of you who get
something that you owe it to a bunch of people,
you ain't got to look at it just like that,
to whom much is given, much is required.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
That great thing that.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
You're asking God for, that incredible thing that you want
him to see you through, Well, when he give it
to you and he see you through it, he gonna
require something of you to get through it. Now, when
he get through it, Now, guess what. You've been tested.
You've been five baptized, you've been ran through the meal.

(02:47):
You can handle it.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Now. You appreciate it. Now, you worked for it.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Now you earned it, and you're gonna respect it a
little bit more than somebody who was just giving something.
When you're going through something, you're being tested. You've been
pushed through the furnace. You come out on the other side,
you're gonna be fine, but you can't quit for you
get to the other side. One of the things I

(03:13):
set this young man was a plaque that a guy
sit in me when I was going through some really
dark moments in my life. The plaque said, if you're
going through hell, don't stop keep going. If you going
through hell, don't stop keep going. Why would you stop
in hell? Let's think about that, And you gotta watch

(03:37):
the people in your life, man, because you got if
you're gonna allow people to make more withdrawals than deposits
into your life, You're gonna soon be in the negative.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Sometimes, you got to know when to close the accounts.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
You got some people in your life where you need
to close the accounts. No, no, no, no, No more
accounts receivable, no more accounts, pay a boat. No more
calling me every time it get dark in your life.
And then when something happened in mind, I can't find
you nowhere. No more one sided friendships, no more. I'm

(04:13):
giving and you taking. And when I need something, you
ain't there. Oh excuse I read something on snoops page
and I copied it and I sent it to a
couple of people already. Excuse me for bothering you, my bad.
I'm sorry. I forgot. You only fool with me when
you need something. Oh excuse me, I'm sorry, my bad.

(04:36):
I don't mean to bother you. I forgot. You only
fool with me when you need something. If you allow
people to make more withdrawals than deposits in your life,
you gonna soon be in the negative. You got to
know when the close the accounts. Everybody in your life
right now, you don't need them, You don't need them,

(04:58):
not everybody. Some people just ain't good for you. I
don't know if you notice it or not. You keep
trying to hang on in there and believe that they
gonna be better. You can pray for them too, But
some people just who they are now. Prayer changes thing.
But if they ain't praying for theirself, I don't really
know how they work. There are some people that can

(05:20):
explain that I can't.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
I just know.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Man, when you keep on telling somebody something, they ain't listening,
and they keep bringing your bad news, and they always
the one man that you hear what they said about you. Man,
you know what I need. Man, You ain't gonna believe
what happened to me. Oh man, I can't get around
there today. I'm tied up. You're done. If you allow
people to make more withdraws than deposits in your life,

(05:47):
you're gonna soon be in the negative. You have to
know when to close the accounts. Just close the accounts.
You'll be better for it. Those are my closing remarks.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Big dup, All right, now, wow, Steve, and I was good.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Uh huh.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah, you can go ahead and drop it.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
You can go ahead because some people need to hear it.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
I don't know a person that's trying to be anything
that don't need to hear that.
