I got to turn the mouth. Turn you probably got
to turn the mouth, turn the water the water up.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Look me, come.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Come out. You think that I share WI the good morning? Everybody?
You are listening to the voice? Come on dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man,
oh man, oh man? How good is God to me?

Speaker 2 (02:15):
And part of the mission and the reason that I
have a radio show is to become a share of
more and more of a share of you know. I
used to hear my mother say it to me all
the time, But God blesses you to become a blessing.
And I think the more you understand that about yourself,
I think the more blessings will flow your way. I

(02:36):
think that once you understand the principle that you know.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
But it's kind of tied together with some other scriptures.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
And I'm not too knowledgeable about them, of course, as usual,
but I do know what I've heard you know, and
you know if you look at something simple as do
unto others as you would have them do unto you,
wouldn't you want somebody to help you if you need
it help. I just know how to get it down
there to where I've been able to understand it. If

(03:07):
there's a scripture similar that it says do unto others
as you would have them do unto you, or if
that's you know, in a prayer, would not you want
somebody to help you if you needed help? You've heard
you reap what you sow. Do you understand that if

(03:30):
you so discord, that discord is gonna come your way.
That if you hate, hate gonna come your way. If
you blog nothing but negative comments about people, your life
will be filled with negativity. If all you do is
talk about people, then guess what somebody got to turn
that gun around and talk about you. See, it just

(03:54):
stands to reason. So what I've learned in my life
and through all the trials and tribulations that I've had,
is to take those lessons and share them with people
in case you ain't heard it from somebody else. See
sometimes and the reason it seems like I'm redundant at times,
is what I am is because I'm always trying to

(04:17):
find a different way to say the same thing. Because
it's a funny thing. Man, You got to hear it
a certain way for it to click with you. How
many times have I heard a saying and then I
heard it a different way that it clicked with me.

(04:37):
You know, I've heard of this saying right here. Remember
this now, everybody's not happy for you. We've all heard that,
right everybody's not happy for you. Well, that's very simple.
I don't need no explanation. That simply means of all
the people you know or do not know, when something

(04:57):
happens to you and you celebrating it, everybody not.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Gonna join in on the celebration. That's all that is.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
But then you take it one step further. My father
used to say something to me all the time. He said, son,
everybody come with you can't go with you. I didn't
get that when I was fifteen. Everybody come with.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
You, can't go with you.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
He said, you're gonna lose some of these friends you
got along the way. But I don't care where you
get in life. Know this right here, everybody can't go
with you. If you are constantly trying to improve yourself,
you constantly have to take assessment of the people around you.
Because if you are going to continue to go and
continue to grow, then guess what you got to have

(05:39):
people that's on the go and willing to grow, or else,
guess what you're gonna learn the valuable lesson. You know,
the late boxing promoter Butch Lewis. I was talking with
Butcher Lewis one time, and man with a good brother man,
he say, every successful man is doing what I call

(06:00):
he got rope work to do. He got rope work
to do. He got to put in work on rope.
And I'm sitting there listening to Butch Lewis and all
the money he had made and all the people's lives
he had changed, and all of the moves he was making.
And he's an incredible skills as a negotiator on behalf
of some very very wealthy people.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
He was just an amazing man with no education, but
he read everything.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
He Butch Lewis read all the papers, all the periodicals.
That brother knew everything. He said, you got to put
in rope. And I was sitting there listening. He said,
here's the analogy, little brother, He said, you are on rope.
There's a thick rope. You have on no shirt, you
have on some tattered clothes. You have on no shoes.

(06:47):
Your shorts is cut off just below the knee, and
they tatted, and you got dirt on you and your sweating.
There's this huge, huge raw rope over your shoulder. There's
burn marks on all of your shoulder. Connected to that
rope is a wagon. That wagon has all your weight
on it, all your responsibilities, all the people you're responsible for,

(07:11):
all your children, your wife, your family members, your employees,
your coworkers, your friends. They all on that wagon. Man,
They just sitting there. He's saying, what you gotta do
is you gotta pull that wagon up the heel. Now,
only thing with it is can't nobody help you pull
your wagon. You pull your wagon alone.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
He say.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Now, what you can do along the way of pulling
your wagon is you can find yourself a good wife,
a good woman. He say, Now, what that woman does
is she get down off the wagon. She fan you
while you pull it. She put water on you while
you pull it. She puts stuff in your mouth while
you pull it. She kicked rocks out the weight while
you pull it.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
She but she pull it for you.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
But she is equally as important as you are on
the pull of the rope. He say, you hear me
clearly now, young soldier, He said, nah, I got this here,
he says, people on your wagon that.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
You're responsible for.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
But you want the people on your wagon to help
you get your wagon to the top.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
So what you hope is that they got their foot
hanging over the side pushing, They.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Got one leg over the back, or maybe both legs
over the back pushing. They got they might have their
butt on the wagon, but they push you with both legs.
They back facing your back, maybe some of them facing
you when one of them got left leg hanging over
trying to push. And you hope that all them people
on the wagon you pulling is back there at least
trying to help the wagon get to the top of

(08:39):
the hill.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Here go your problem.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Though everybody ain't pushing, Everybody ain't pulling, ain't everybody ain't pulling,
Everybody ain't kicking rocks out the way. You got some
people on your wagon that's just laying on the wagon,
draking lemonade, looking at you, talking about how long it's
taking you to get your wagon up to the top,
looking at it, you talking about why this wagon is

(09:01):
so slow. Then when you start picking up picking up speed,
they want you to pull harder, you to pull faster,
you to pull MO. Then they want you to throw
what you then earned on the way up the hill
backed on the wagon so they can have MO. But
guess what, they ain't helping you get more. But they
got a sense of entitlement that since you got MO,
they should have MO. Everybody come with you can't go

(09:24):
with you. Sometimes you gotta kick the people off the
wagon that ain't pushing and pull it and say, hey man,
I'm sorry. I thought I could do this with you,
and I thought you was going with me. But it's
clear to me you ain't nothing but dead weight. And
it ain't my responsibility to carry dead weight anymore. I
have carried you as long as I have to carry you.
You are no longer my responsibility. I'm responsible for my family,

(09:48):
my wife, my children. I'm not responsible for you. You
got to get off my wagon because I'm a man
on rope. I'm on a mission, baby, I'm pulling.
