Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Steve, here we are our last break of
the day. It's been a good Thursday, unt, it's been
an ignorant Thank.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
You very much.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
You made good on your promise.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yeah, I told you what I was gonna do. Yes,
you did.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
It's been a good Thursday though. Good to be back
in all of that, and time for you to get
us in out of here with some closing remarks and
inspiring words like.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
You always do.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I want to encourage people, but I got to tell
you the truth about it. You know, it's sort of
a I've decided to go forward with the truth as
I've learned it, and I've decided to ignore naysayers and
people who don't want to hear the factual part of
(00:48):
how difficult success is. But if you explain it to
people and they understand that you've gone through the hardships
of trying to become successful yourself, when they face hard
I think they can see it better for themselves. And
Dion Sanders told me one time, he says, Steve, stop
throwing the life raft to people swimming away.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
From the boat.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
He said, just throw your life raft to them, people
that want to be saved and so, and that's saved
in just a and an analytical sense or an analogy
that he was using in terms of people who want
to be motivated or encouraged or given the tools for success.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
So in light of that, here's something.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Else I want to remind people love, because people don't
like to hear about the uncomfortable side of it. You know,
they want to just go. You know, I want to
sleep long as I want. You got to get this
much sleeping? Okay, fine, fine, fine. I had to come
to that resolution after speaking the truth about sleep as
I know it. As I know it, I can't tell
(01:57):
you anything I don't know. I don't know how to
be successful sleeping a third of your life.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I don't know anyone that made it.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
To success sleeping a third of their life. I just
don't know anybody. Now, if you're wealthy, you can sleep
eight hours, but if you're trying to get there, I
just don't know anybody that's done it that way. And
that's all I was trying to speak about. So what
I'm about to share with you now is another thing. See,
(02:29):
I want you to understand something about when you see
people with what you consider convenient lives, Convenience is built
by inconvenience.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It's just the way it is.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Convenience is built by inconvenience. If you want to have
a convenient life, you are going to have.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
To inconvenience yourself.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
On many, many occasions, and it won't be just some
every now and then. In order to have a convenient life,
you are going to have to spend a great deal
of your current life being inconvenient. It's the only way
it's done. For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction.
(03:20):
That's a scientific law, but it's also a spiritual law.
If you do good to everybody, good will come to you.
If you do evil to everybody, evil gonna come your way.
So convenience is built through inconvenience. For every action there's
(03:42):
an equal and opposite reaction.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
So if you.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Put out evil, the equal and opposite reaction will be.
The equal is you go get evil to the opposite
is that you won't be putting it out, It'll be
coming back to you.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
So do you understand what I'm trying to say?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
So, if you want a life of convenience, it is
built through inconvenience. Another way to look at it is
and what I just had to come to terms with
on my journey to success. And this is not a negative, y'all.
It's okay because success.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Is very, very hard. It just is. Man.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I wish I could tell people it's not hard, but
it is. You have to get comfortable being uncomfortable. If
you're trying to be comfortable, you're going to have to
get okay with being uncomfortable for stretches at a time.
(04:42):
I'm sorry. I'm sorry if that doesn't sound right to you.
But if you talk to successful people, they will share
that information with you that you have to be comfortable.
You have to get comfortable being uncomfortable because it's uncomfortable
to get become successful. It's inconvenient to become successful, it
(05:04):
really really is. But these are things that you have
to be willing to cope with to get the equal.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
And opposite reaction.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
The equal part is the opposite part is this inconvenience
will become convenient.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
That's It's just that's the way it works. Man. I
wish I could.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I don't know if I'm saying it to you the
way I want to deliver a message, but I'm just
trying to get you to understand that it's okay.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
But in your moments of.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Uncomfortableness, in your moments of inconvenience, you can rest assured
that God is with you all the way. That God
didn't say your life would be easy. Faith doesn't make
it easy. Faith makes it possible. And all you want
(05:59):
to know is that what I'm going through will create
the possibility of me becoming successful. Then I'm willing to
go through the necessary pains and gross.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
And everything to become successful.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
And if you got God in your life, he can
give you the strength, the power, the will to endure anything.
With Christ, all things are possible. Faith doesn't make it easy.
Faith makes it possible. You've got to understand that.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
That's my business.
