Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are on this Friday, last
break of the day.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's been a good day, good week.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Thank you Lord, we got through it so far.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yeah, amen, Yes, mate, I got some closing remarks for people.
This is something that I've had to really really learn
myself along the way. It's hard to be something for
someone else that you're not for yourself. That's been very difficult,
(00:39):
and oftentimes we buried ourselves with the task of making
someone else happy when we ourselves are not happy. Have
you ever attempted to make a person happy? Do you
know how daunting of a task that is? Do you
know the impossibility of that? Bishop Jakes told me one time,
he said, you can't make another person happy. Nor is
(01:02):
it your job. That's not your job. You can't make
another person happy. I don't care how hard you try.
And if you take on that task, you are dooming
yourself to a fail task. It's no way to complete
that because it's gonna be ongoing. If you provide a
(01:25):
happy moment, which will be fleeting because I just said moment.
If you provide a happy moment, the moment they're over
that you're gonna need another moment and another one, and
another one, and another one and another one. And in
your quest to provide this happiness for somebody else, you
(01:46):
know what, you know who, You're gonna have to sacrifice
yourself because I don't know if you realize it and out
that most of us have at this age. Most of
these people live realizing this, because you live long enough
to know this. Getting yourself together is a twenty four
to seven operation. So it becomes extra daunting when you
(02:07):
take on the responsibility of somebody else. Now because you
are a parent, you now understand the difficulty of it
because not only are you still responsible for your own
welfare being, but you are now being given the task
of raising another human being. So my hat goes off
(02:28):
to parents, man, My hat goes off to families and
parents that's raising kids. My hat goes out to single
fathers that's out there trying to raise kids. My hat
really go off to single mothers that's out there trying
to raise their kids, because I realize how dawning it is,
because it's hard enough taking care of you, and now
(02:49):
you got the responsibility, and what a lot of single
mothers end up doing, and what a lot of mothers
do even with husbands in the house, you sacrifice so
much of yourself to me make sure that they don't
go without. Because women are just better at this than men.
I know this for a fact. And I'm sorry. I'm
(03:09):
not saying men can't do it, and I'm not saying
that doubt. Aren't men out there that's taking the responsibility
of being everything for their family because it is.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
It's just women better at it. Or see why you
say that, Because.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
They're more nurturing, they're more all inclusive by nature, they
are more caring people. And then the added benefit of
them being the one that actually manufactured and produced that life.
They have a bond that we could never have man
a mother, a real mother.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I'm talking about a good.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Mother, irreplaceable, irreplaceable. But in that effort, women of you
being all you could be for your child, don't forget
yourself sometimes, don't forget you, because a lot of times
you get lost in the sauce.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You get lost in the process of.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Trying to hold your family together, being everything you need
to be for your husband, being everything you need to
be for the children, And I watch women get lost
in that. Take some time out for yourself, Go take
you a girl's day. Get with a group of women,
men and y'all got similar likes and needs and desires,
and go do something together. And then men the same
(04:28):
for you, because I know how daunting of a task
it is to be a man. Being a man is
a thankless job. And you know what, being a man,
you can't even get it really one hundred because if
you spending your time supporting and providing for your family,
then you're not there. You gonna miss events, You're gonna
(04:51):
miss recitals, you gonna miss games because you out getting it.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
But then if you're there all the time, you.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Had all the recitals, all the games, all the homework,
all the PTA meetings, there's a chance that you ain't
out there getting it. So now your family is suffering
in the provision department because you're trying to be all
of the other stuff that they need.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Well, guess what, that's tough too.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I know very few men who get it all one hundred,
including myself. I've actually heard the grumblings of my kid.
You know, dad wasn't there when we were young. Dad
weren't here, They've complained to other people. I didn't see
my father much when I was young, I've been tasked
with that. I'll suffer from that guilt all the time
(05:41):
from that. But I was out there trying to make
it happen. But whenever they needed something or wanted something,
they knew where they could come to get it. So
it's tough out here. It's tough for everybody, men and women.
At the end of the day, takes some time out
for yourself, because if you don't take care of yourself,
(06:04):
it's gonna be hard for you to be something for
everybody else. Take some time out. It's okay, it's okay.
You don't have to feel guilty about it. You ain't
got to feel like, you know, bear no guilt, no shame.
Just take some time for yourself because I don't know
if you noticed it or not, but they do, all
of them do, especially them kids. They go off with
(06:27):
their friends, act like you don't even exist. Well, I'm
going somewhere to y'all. Have a nice day, y'all have
a better week end, and talk to God. He'd absolutely love.
