Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, here we are our last break of the day. Wow,
it's been a good day, a fun day, and Steve,
you can take it away.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Here it is. You know, I was thinking and something
that's helped me in my lifetime, and it was a
difficult lesson to learn for me, but I finally got
it together years ago, but it took me some time.
I must admit I spent all of my twenties and
thirties not understanding this, and even a little bit now,

(00:35):
just mostly twenties and thirties. So I'm gonna share it
with you, and I want you to understand that I'm saying.
I'm saying all this in love. You can't share everything
with everybody. You know. That really seems so simple, But

(00:57):
I can't tell you how many times you in it
vertly damage yourself, your opportunity, and your journey by not
understanding this real, simple rule. You cannot You cannot share
everything with everybody. You can't share your visions with everybody

(01:19):
because they don't really care. Then everybody's not genuinely interested
in your career, goals, your visions, your hopes for tomorrow.
A lot of people you share stuff with don't even
understand the thing that you're telling is in your imagination.

(01:42):
They don't even get it. And I understand they don't
get what's in your imagination because it's something they could
never ever possibly imagine. And basically, the number one reason
you can't share everything with everybody is just real simple.
Most people don't care. You know, They'll just sit up
and listen to you and look just as concerned as

(02:04):
soon as you walk away. Don't give you the idea,
the thought you had another moment of consideration. They don't care.
But do you understand something they don't have to. It's
perfectly okay that they don't see your vision, share your vision.
That's okay that they're not genuinely interested. It's okay to

(02:27):
they don't understand what's coming out of your imagination. It's
perfectly fine that they don't care, because there is really
no one else more critical to your journey or your
success than God. Nobody. There is no one living that's
more critical to your journey or your success than God.

(02:49):
Period Now. If you're blessed and you got to support
a spouse jackpot, that's bonus. Or you found someone in
your life that you'll ride to die, that's bonus. Or
you got one of your friends that's with you through
thick and thin and it's hard to find them, but
they exist, then that's a bonus. The rest of the

(03:12):
people really listen to me, they don't matter. They don't
matter because they don't matter. It doesn't matter what they think, say, feel,
or give you back because it's irrelevant, non important, significant

(03:33):
to your journey or your success. You've got to get
this through your head because I spent too much time
sharing everything with everybody, thinking I was sharing it in
hopes that they might have a piece of information for me.
The majority of people I shared it with didn't have
nothing from me. I wasted time sitting up there, and

(03:53):
then I tell you something else that happened. You can
tell your big dreams to small minded people if you
want to. And now you've given one of the devil's
imps the information that he needs to provide obstruction. That's
a sad thing, man, But I want you all to

(04:15):
be aware because sometimes we seek the wrong people's approval
and you end up wasting time. Why does it matter
to you what they think of you when they don't
even care about you? What does it matter what they
think of you, and they don't even know you. Do

(04:38):
you know some people post stuff on social media and
be just as happy with they pitch and they little
caption and you put it online and you're just saying, man,
I'm having a great day off. Man, I just want
to show y'all something that God has blessed me to
share with you all. And if you mess around and
read your comments, here comes somebody on your comment page

(05:02):
that then took your perfectly well intentioned caption and your
picture that you meant no harm to anybody posted, and
here they come with a bunch of negativity, And now
all of a sudden, your day is off course because
somebody says something about you that don't even know you.

(05:29):
People's opinion of you is none of your business, nor
should you make it yours. That negative comment that they
put on your timeline in your comment section. If you
had never read that, do you know you would have
went right on about your marry day? Do you know

(05:52):
that that blessing you posted would have still been your blessing?
Do you know the intent that you posted it with
all goodwill to share something with somebody to put a
positive spin on their day. It would have still been there,
but oh no, no, no no, you allowed somebody to
matter who don't even matter. Stop telling everybody everything because

(06:15):
everybody don't care. Get that through your head. I don't
care how fine you are. Somebody don't like you. Wow,
and it's okay. And those closing remarks are dedicated to
the girl who turned me down at the junior prom
because she didn't like my facial features.
