Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know what, I just want to remind something, to
remind a lot of people something about success. And I'm
talking to myself today too. Success is hard. It really
is just hard. It's hard to be successful, but it's

(00:21):
hard not being successful. I've been both. I've been non
successful and I've had a measure of success. And I'm
telling you right now it is far better to be successful.
And even though it's hard, being successful will create for
you and your family options. Success will allow you to

(00:45):
have some form of a lifestyle that you desire. Listen
to me, It's nice to move into the neighborhood that
you've been driving through that you dream of, to pull
your car up in front of the house that you
love to walk into. It's nice to drive the car

(01:08):
that you want to drive. It's nice to be able
to go somewhere and provide groceries for your family. It's
nice to be able to take your children shopping for
school clothes. It's nice to be able to discuss having

(01:30):
a vacation in the summertime and take your family to
the beach, or take your family on vacation somewhere. It's nice,
but you know what that comes from. That comes from
having the option to do that. And you know what,
that option comes from, you having a measure of success.
But it's hard. It's really really hard to become successful.

(01:55):
And I don't care what measure of success you're talking about.
It comes with its set of challenges. So what I'm
here to do to tell you today is when you
make up in your mind to be successful, you got
to be ready to fight. You got to be ready
to fight, and the fight comes to you. You ain't

(02:17):
got to go to the fight. The fight presents itself.
It ain't it's not an option. It ain't no, and
it ain't look it just ain't no other way round it.
Let's go. It's coming and it comes with all the challenges,

(02:41):
all of the setbacks, all of the hardships and disappointments.
But you got to keep fighting, y'all. And it's worth
to fight because guess what, it's hard. One of the
callers today, the lady, was saying how she was struggling
to get in shape, and she really wants shape and
wanted to get in shape, but she's not sure how
to do it. She's confus used about because she's getting

(03:01):
so much mixed information. It's hard to get in shape.
It really is. But I got news for you. It's
hard not being in shape. It's hard walking up a
flight of steps when you out of shape. It's horrible
when you look at that escalator and it ain't on
at them all. But you gotta go upstairs and you
gotta walk up them steps. It's hard. Yeah, man, it's hard.

(03:27):
It's hard opening a business. It's hard becoming an entrepreneur,
becoming your own boss, opening up a company. Yeah, it's hard.
But ain't it hard to go to a job you
can't stand every day? Ain't that hard? Man? Getting out
of bed, realizing that you didn't pursue your dreams, that
you didn't chase success like you should have, and you

(03:48):
wound up somewhere where you didn't really want to be,
and you're too scared to change it because it's providing
the job, because you now you don't even have the
courage to go and put in another application because you
don't want the period between being employed and unemployed? Ain't
that hard? Yeah, it's hard. Getting a divorce, it's hard,

(04:10):
breaking up with somebody. It's hard, But ain't it hard
living there in misery with somebody that they ain't in
love with you no more that you don't love no more?
Ain't it hard living with somebody that's verbally abusive to you?
Ain't it hard being unhappy? Yeah? Man, it's hard. But

(04:32):
you got to pick your heart in life because it's
all hard, and to have any measure of success, it's
going to be hard. Buckle up, y'all, grit your teeth,
brace your back, put a bend in your knee, and
get ready man, because the attacks is coming. But you
can do it because the millions of people have done

(04:53):
it before you. I can't believe I'm getting a divorce, man,
You know how many people in divorced? Stop crying, Judge
lenn told he said the best advice I ever heard
to give. A woman said her grandmama told her, don't
let a man have to tell you twice he don't
want you what you crying about him for. He didn't

(05:14):
want you. By you can get somebody to want you. Man.
Stop caring about people that don't care about you, Steve Harvey,
stop carrying people that ain't carrying they weight. Stop paying
people man that give you no return on your money.

(05:37):
Stop doing that, man. Stop being friends that are no
benefit to you. Every time they pick up the phone
they need something for you. You can't call them for nothing.
They don't even call you to congratulate you when your
baby doing something good. Hey, I heard your baby did this.
Congratulate They don't even call you, but let them need something.
Here the phone ring, and now all of a sudden
you got to prove you they friend, none of you.

(05:59):
Don't stop, stop, get rid of all that deadweight. Life
is hard. It's really hard when you're carrying around dead weight,
dragging somebody along with you. Got somebody riding on your wagon.
They ain't pushing or pulling. Man by miss me. Have
a great day, y'all, have a really really great day.

(06:19):
Share that weight and success is hard. Dig in, bite
down on your mouthpiece, and let's go to work because
you can do it. Have a great day today. Talk
to God. He would absolutely love to hear from you.
If y'all don't getting nothing from today's message, we'll.
