Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are, last break of the day,
last break of the week on this Friday. It's been
a good day. And Steve, so you know what, I
want to talk to you about. Something I saw online
today I just happened to be going through and I
(00:24):
don't even I think it was on Instagram. I think
I was watching Bishop James Man. And he's absolutely, hands
down one of my favorite people on a personal note,
because I can't even tell you how many times I've
called him and just told him something I was going through, man,
and he just gave me the perfect word of encouragement.
(00:47):
And he's just been He's just been a friend. Man,
He's just been a friend. Not on the pastorial level,
but I'm talking about just just like I'm telling you,
here's a guy that's just a cool dude, and he
don't talk to you with crosses coming out of his
(01:08):
mouth every time he opened it. You can just have
real conversation with him, man, about what's really happening and
what you can really do about it. Now, he gonna
end up telling you about faith, but he gonna also
give you some real life situations so you don't get,
you know, clouded with it. Like it's just all you know, sugary, Like,
here's a real simple answer, just apply the scripture, going
(01:31):
about your business, because it's life. But I was listening
to him today and he was talking about courage, and
he was talking about do you have the courage to
go for it? Because he was talking about success and
he was talking about it takes courage to be successful.
(01:54):
So see if if, if, if you don't want to
be nothing, it don't take no courage because it takes
courage to win. You know, look, man, if you want
to be regular, if you want to just lay it down,
you know, if if if you don't want to make
(02:14):
no waves, if you want to be mediocre, if you
want to just go on and fit in, if you
want to dress like them, if you want to act
like them, if you want to walk like them, if
you want to think like them, if you want to
do what they do, and and and you ready to
just let mediocrity have his way in your life, then
you don't need no courage. But if you want to win,
(02:39):
it takes courage. And once you make the decision to win,
they're gonna talk about you because they don't talk about
nobody that ain't winning. When the last time you heard
a conversation about somebody that ain't winning, Nah, Man, they
talk about you if you win it. They're talking about
you winning in hopes that they can see you fall.
(03:02):
If they see you stumbling from the top, you still winning.
But if they think they can see you stumbling here,
they're talking about you. They try to find anything they
can to bring you down. But it takes courage. It
takes courage to be successful. It takes courage to win.
(03:22):
And he kept asking the question, do you have the
courage to win? Because when you start winning, y'all, you
got to be ready because they're gonna talk about you.
They're gonna take shots at you. They're gonna throw rocks
at you, they're gonna take aim at you. Ain't nobody
aiming at no losers because they're too easy to hit
(03:44):
because they down there already. See people only get credit
for shooting at somebody up what good And listen to me,
I'm not I'm not. I'm not making fun of the
less fortunate by any way. But you don't see nobody
always talking about the down try and let's stay ignorant,
(04:07):
just trying to make theirselfs look better. Nah, man, you
know what gets you on the internet. You know what
gets you viral. You know what gets you streaming when
you start talking about somebody that's about something, because you
know what those people are news. See you popular. When
you start going viral, when they start talking about you,
(04:27):
it's because you win it. You can't go viral or
somebody that ain't nobody. So y'all take heed, take heart,
and take courage all at the same time when they're
talking about you, because that means you're moving, That means
you're shaking them up. That means you're giving them something
(04:48):
to talk about. But in order to do that, it's
gonna take some courage. You've got to be courageous. Man.
It don't take having to mail it in. It, don't
take nothing to lay it down. All you gotta do
is say I'm through it, Ain't doing that no more,
and it's done. It's over with. But sit up and
(05:08):
say I'm gonna finish. Sit up and say I'm gonna
see it through. Sit up and say I'm gonna be
the best. Sit up and say I'm gonna fight, I'm
gonna try, I'm gonna fight, I'm gonna win this one.
See They talk about all these fights that's going down
and stuff, and they talking about who fighting lamar Old,
I'm fighting, Mayweather, fighting this dude, Chris Paul, he Eagle,
(05:32):
Rue Paul, whatever his name is, Paul. Boys fighting over
this dude, this guy mcconna fighting over here. But the
only reason they're talking about you is cause you fitting
to do something. They ain't talking about nobody that ain't fighting.
They ain't talking about nobody that ain't throwing no punches.
They ain't talking about nobody that didn't sign the contract.
(05:53):
The conversation is about the people who signed up to fight.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in
the arena. Now, I'm paraphrasing this thing that Teddy Roosevelt
wrote because I do the whole way he did. It
wasn't for me. But the credit belongs to the man
who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred
(06:13):
with death, blood, sweat and tears, not to those cold
and timid souls in the stands who know neither victory
nor defeat. They just spectators, man. And the only reason
they're talking about you because they looked like you're trying
to win. But it takes courage be encouraged. Everybody go forward.
(06:35):
