Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, I sure will.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning everybody you are listening to the voice, come on,
dig me?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Now what and only Steve Harvey got a radio show? Man?
Oh man, oh man? How good is God to me?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
And part of the mission and the reason that I
have a radio show is to is to become a
share of more and more of a share of you know,
I just 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
(00:38):
think that once you understand the principle.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
That you know. But it's kind of tied together with
some other.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Scriptures, 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,
you want somebody to help you if you needed help.
I just know how to get it down there to
where I've been able to understand it. If there's a
(01:10):
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 you so discord,
(01:34):
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 stands to reason. So what
(01:58):
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 find a different way
(02:20):
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. You know, I've heard this
(02:41):
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 happens to you and you celebrating it, everybody
(03:02):
not gonna join in on the celebration. That's all that is.
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 you,
can't go with you. He said, you're gonna lose some
of these friends you got along the way. But I
(03:22):
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 people that's on the go and
(03:43):
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.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Man.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
He say, every successful man, it's doing what I call
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
(04:20):
of some very very wealthy people. He was just an
amazing man with no education, but he read everything. 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
(04:41):
thick rope. You have on no shirt, you have on
some tattered clothes. You have on no shoes. 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
(05:04):
is a wagon. That wagon has all your weight on it,
all your responsibilities, all the people you're responsible for, all
your children, your wife, your family members, your employees, your coworkers,
your friends. They are all on that wagon. Man, They
just sitting there. He's saying, what you gotta do is
(05:26):
you gotta pull that wagon.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Up the heel.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Now. The only thing with it is can't nobody help
you pull your wagon?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
You pull your wagon alone. He say.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Now, what you can do along the way of pulling
your wagon is you can find yourself a good wife,
a good woman.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
He say.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
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 way while you pull it. But she
but she pull it for you. 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,
(06:05):
I got this here. He says, people on your wagon
that you're responsible for. But you want the people on
your wagon to help you get your wagon to the top.
So what you hope is that they got their foot
hanging over the side pushing. They got one leg over
the back, or maybe both legs over the back pushing.
They got they might have their butt on the wagon,
(06:27):
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 the hill.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Here go your problem.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Though everybody ain't pushing, Everybody ain't pulling, ain't everybody ain't pulling,
Everybody ain't kicking.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Rocks out the way.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
You got some people on your wagon that's just laying
on the wagon, drinking lemonade, looking at you, talking about
how long it's taking you to get your wagging up
to the top, looking at you talking about why this
wagon is so slow. Then when you start picking up
picking up speed, they want you to pull harder, you
to pull faster, you to pull more. Then they want
(07:12):
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.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Everybody come with you can't go with you.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Sometimes you gotta kick the people off the wagon that
ain't pushing and pulling 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,
(07:51):
my wife, my children. I'm not responsible for you. You got
to get off my wagon because I'm a man on rope.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I'm on a mission. Baby, I'm pulling here. List me.
