It's us. It's what we do. I threw my life
down the hill.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I can't tell you how many years based on some
decisions that I was making. Now I can justify my
decision where I wasn't happy and I was doing this
and I was in misering.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Y'all on that. He ain't yes to you. When you
get through.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
You made the decisions, though, and you can look at
this anywhere you want to, y'all. But at the end
of the day, I'm just talking to people that's really
really wanting to improve their position in life. And how
do you do that you got to have a solution.
How do you come up with a solution. You got
to identify the problem to even began to solve it.
(03:56):
But if the problem ain't ever you how something that
ain't you?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
See? Okay, let me look at this one.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
If somebody say, like, I got a child of mine, man,
I just do right here. Man, I don't even wanna
get into it this morning, bore. I'm struggling with this
this boy. But man, you go to people, you ask
them why they do so I just did. I just
wasn't taking care of business? Why I just didn't take
care of business?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Boy? Do you understand that your life is gonna be
filled with you got to take care of business. So
when you're gonna start, you know what I mean? You can't.
You can't. You can't go through life blaming everybody.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
It's got to be you. See, you can fix you.
You can't fix nobody else. If you keep getting married
and the marriages don't work. Hello, Hello, Hello, could it
be you? South Found They had to sit down and
just make that decision. Ain't't need to be coming on
the radio talking about nobody else, And they did to
me and y'all just don't know. No, no, no, man,
(05:03):
what about the part you played in it? Cause see,
if you got a good marriage, you got a part
to play in that. If you got a bad one,
you got a part to play in that. Even if
it just get down to you the one pick them,
how about that, mister, mister, I made a decision. The
problem is usually within yourself. Do you know that's the
(05:24):
quickest and easy way to fix your life. That way,
you ain't got to check with nobody. Here's the beauty
of going on and admitting that it's you. You don't
have to check or clear it with nobody to start
the repair process.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
You don't need anybody's permission.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
You ain't got to put it before the review board
to see if it will pass. It ain't got to
go through Congress. You ain't got to hope that your
local politician get their hands on it and make.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
A phone call for you.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
You ain't got to ask any counselors to come in
and sit with you. You don't have to check in
the rehair. All you got to do is decide the
problem is me. I'm gonna start changing me. Identify the
problem and start with the part that you can own
up to. Once you identify the problem, you can start
(06:16):
planning on how to fix this or how to get
to accomplishing something. But remember this planning is important. If
you fail to plan, then please plan to fail. If
you don't know how to make a plan, let's just
start with the basics. Just make a list of what
you want. Make this list and then go to God
(06:40):
in prayer with an open mind.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
And open your mind.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Up to all the clean opportunities that are available here.
Why a lot of people won't succeed cause certain opportunities
come along you don't want to do them.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
That kills me. Man, when I hit here, I ain't
doing that.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I know young comedians that come to me all the
time talking about man with you, and I say, man,
just take every gig you.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Can, no matter what it pay. Well, listen to me, son.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
You can go make that money that they pay, or
you can make the decision to sit at home and
make no money. It's a comedy, hard business.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
They ain't paying but one hundred dollars. You got to
drive fifty miles.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
But if you drive fifty miles and you make the hundred,
and you stand on that stage for thirty minutes, you
are now thirty minutes better than you was the last
time you went on stage. Ah, Man, they ain't man,
they don't pay me. I ain't coming. You ain't finna
be a comedian, man, not not not like this here.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
A lot of.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
People just don't want to do what's necessary to do.
So when the opportunity presents itself and you open up
your mind to it, man, then get ready to go
on and do it. Man, identify your problem today. Start
with the part that'sh you.
