Speaker 1 (00:00):
Steve, we're ready for your closing remarks. I'm so happy
my closing remarks today. This is what I've chosen to do.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I have variations of this when I'm talking as a
speaker and things like that, but I'm I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Go a different way with you today.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Uh. There's a saying that if you're the smartest person
in your group, then you need a new group. I
want you, I want you all to just think about
that for a minute. If you're the smartest person in
your group, you need a new group.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Now. I've been very, very guilty of this, not saying.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
That I was smarter than everybody else, but I had
been exposed more than a certain group of people I
had employed and had hanging around me. I had been
exposed to more things. I naturally was making more because
they were mostly employees. I wanted more, and because of
(01:11):
the fact that I had more and more was required of.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Me, I just had bigger dreams.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I outdreamed everybody in my group, and it just gotten
to a point. And I'm saying this because I want
you all to put everything into perspective.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
As I'm talking to you. Just imagine at your place in.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Your life, that if you're the one that's constantly coming
up with the ideas, you're the one constantly coming.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Up with the solution.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
You're the one everybody turns to for guidance. You're the
person always picking up the tab. You're the person that's
the only one who's dreaming really big. You're the one
that's pulling the wagon, and you happen to be carrying everybody.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
That's on it.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Ain't none of your associates getting off the wagon to
help you pull it, push it, guide it or nothing.
They just own the wagon and you doing all the
pull it. You need a new group. You need a
new group.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
The problem with acquiring this new group is gonna be that,
the fact is inevitable.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You have to get rid of the old group. And
it's hard.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
It's hard cutting people loose because for the most part.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
You're just a nice person.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Because you start beating yourself up with stuff that has
nothing to do with you. Well, if I let them go,
what they gonna do, man, How his family gonna eat,
how her family gonna survive, How they gonna if I
let them go, Man, how they gonna feel about me?
(02:56):
What will they say about me? What will the other
group member us think about me. But you know something, man,
that's not your job. And I'm not trying to sound
cold to callous, but it's just not your job. They
are responsible for themselves, but through this meaningless emotion called guilt,
(03:19):
they will make you feel guilty about letting them go
and making them stop riding up the heel and your
wagon for free. And they use guilt, which is the
most meaningless emotion, and they give it to you all
the time.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Y'all, do yourself a favor.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Stop doing that, Stop carrying people who should be walking themselves.
Stop pulling people up the heel and your wagon when
they need.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
To get their own wagon to pull. Stop.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Do yourself a favor, get yourself a new group. They
will be fine because let me ask you a question.
This is something mother used to say to me all
the time, what would you do if you didn't know me?
And I used to never understand when my father said
it that until I got older, but I hear him
(04:12):
saying it to me all the time. People come to
you and ask you for money because I know you
got it because you're doing better than them. Well, you
work harder than them, so quite naturally you should be
doing better them. Now they come to you and lay
this guilt. Man, you done came up and all us,
over all of us, and left us back here.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Now we so proud of you. Let me hold.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
My father used to say, if you didn't know me,
what would you do? So I started incorporating that in
my life. If you didn't have my number, who would
you call? I cannot be everybody's emergency. If you are
everybody's emergency phone call, you need a new group.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
They gonna bring you down. Man, I'm telling you, they're
going to bring you down.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
And when you go down, guess what they gonna get
another emergency number.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
They not gonna be there for you.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
All these people that use you as they emergency, do
you have the ability to use them as your emergency?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I think not.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
It's time to look at getting a new group now.
You can sever the ties with these people now, or
you can wait until a major event occurs. That's gonna
cause you have to break it off and it's gonna
be a lot more painful and a lot more costly,
(05:32):
you know. But Bishop Jake said one time, sometimes you
have to let people go so they can be freed
up to go be who they're supposed to be, because
some people just hanging on cause it's comfortable, because you've
made it comfortable for people. And I'm talking to everybody
out there. This ain't for me or people who have employees.
(05:53):
This is for people who have people in their lives
that's constantly pulling on you. Man. For twenty dollars here,
dollars here, one hundred over here? My light bill went off.
They cut this off. They calling me, I'm behind on
my TAXI my income tax check.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Ain't hear yet? Man? Oh man, oh man? How many
times you get that?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Stop being everybody's emergency phone call, because if they didn't
know you, what would they do? You know, my father
used to say, when they don't know you, what would
they do? They need to get on and get to
doing it. You can't save everybody because they'll bring you down.
If you're the smartest person in your group, you need
(06:35):
a new group.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Y'all have a great deal.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Okay, I'm gonna have a good weekend too.
