• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, guys, here we are, last break of the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: day on this Thursday. It's been a good day, a
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: fun day. You've got fun today, Steve. And in closing,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I want to share something with you. I have a
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I'm on a group chat with some brothers I went
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to school with. Man, it's like thirteen of us. We
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: get together a couple times a year, and it's probably
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: my favorite time of the year because I get to
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: hang out with some guys and some men who knew
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: me before all of this happened to me. And that's
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: really been a great blessing for me, man, because I'm
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: able to be myself around these men. I don't have
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to put on no pretenses. They knew me before all
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: of this. They've seen the changes in me, and they
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: see the similarities in me, and they cool with both
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: of them. Because I developed the saying over my life,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I was who I was and I am who I am,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and I'm cool with both them. People now, I say
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: had a little bit more graphic when I'm talking to them,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: but just for the radio, I was who I was
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and I am who I am, and I'm cool with
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: both them blanks and you can put that, put that
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: in however you want to. But that's how I said
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to myself. But we were talking the other day and
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: this one of my partners as a pastor, and he
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: sent me this thing called the Seven Rules of Life.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: And he said, Man, when I listened to your show, Steve,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I've heard you say all of these things at one
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: point and time. He said, I just thought i'd send
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: it to you. So for the first time, I have
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: it kind of all like printed out right, the seven
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Rules of Life, and I'm gonna share them with you
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: right now because they're very, very helpful. And the pastor
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: calls him the seven rules of Life, and he sent
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: them to me. Number one, make peace with your past
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: so it won't disturb your present. I think that's so
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: important for people, man, that you stop allowing who you were,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: and stop allowing people to come into your life to
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: remind you of who you were when clearly you've changed
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and moved on. Stop allowing people to hold you to
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: your past mistakes when God has clearly forgiven you, and
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: move on. Man, I get tired of people talking about me.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I don't even worry about that no more. What you did,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: you left this and you walked out of here and
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: you did this. You don't even know the story. Rule
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Number two, what other people think of you, and I
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: learned this from Bishop Jakes. Number two, what other people
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: think of you is none of your business. And I've
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: often said that what other people think of you as
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: none of your business, nor should you make it yours.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: It ain't your business what they think of you, because
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: it don't even matter. You'll be so much happy if
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: you could worry about what other people think of you.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Number Three. Time heals almost everything. So give it some time.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: You know, people think when something happens to him it's permanent.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: It's given some time. I had a friend of mine
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: whose wife's mother passed, and he called me. He said, man,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: because my mom's still living, I know your mom gone.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Do you have any advice for my wife? Because she
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: want to give up? And I was going, well, first
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: of all, would your mother wants you to give up?
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Which all those of us who have lost our mother,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: our mother loved us enough where I'm sure our mother
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: would want us to continue and live the best life
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: we could. So you in here talking about giving up
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: because your mama gone. Hold on, man, get his things.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Some time. It's called grief. It's hard to deal with,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: but give it some time because time heals almost everything
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: if you give it time. Number four, no one is
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: in charge of your happiness except you. Stop giving people
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: permission to direct your life and determine who you are
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: that's yours. No one is in charge of your happiness
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: except you. Bishop Jakes told me one time. He says,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: it's not your job to make another person happy, nor
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: should you make it yours, because it's a hard job.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: It's an impossible job. You can't make another person happy.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I've tried it before, trust me, you can't. Number five.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Don't compare your life to others, and don't judge him
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: because you have no idea what their journey is all about.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: How many times have you been judged by people about
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: your life when they don't even know the story. Somebody
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: asked me one time, They say, man, you always crying
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: every time I see you crying. You know why I
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: cry when I'm talking about it Because I know the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: fine print. Y'all saw the headlines. I know the fine print.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I know the story. I know the story behind it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I know the context that the story was in. I
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: remember all the pain of it. I remember all the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: wishing it would change, and now that it's changed, sometime
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: it brings tear to my eyes. So don't compare your
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: life to others, and don't judge them because you ain't
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: got no idea what their journey is all about. Number six,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Stop thinking too much. It's all right not to know
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the answer. Do you know how many times you've talked
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: yourself out of something? And the reason you talk yourself
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: out of something because there's an answer you don't have
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: an answer to it. Because there's a question or a
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: problem you don't have an answer to, And because you
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: don't have an answer, it freezes you because I don't
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: know how that's gonna turn out, or I don't know
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: how that's gonna be. Man, Stop thinking too much. It's
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: all right not to know the answers. You ain't supposed
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: to know what your future holds. You just supposed to
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: live and have the faith that it's gonna be all right. Now.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be some problems coming, know that, But you
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: ain't got to sit here and try to figure out
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: what's wrong with tomorrow. Last, but not least, the seven
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: rules of life. Smile. Smile. You don't own all the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: problems in the world. Smile because you don't own all
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the problems in the world. Smile because no matter how
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: bad it's going for you, you better believe it's going
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: way worse for somebody else. Smile. Kirk Franklin wrote a song,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: you look so much better when you smile anyway. I
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: know it's hard, but man, those are the seven rules
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: of life. Man, I just want to share it with you.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: That's been a benefit to me. I've known them all,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: but to see them all in print in front of
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: me meant a lot to me the other day, so
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I thought i'd shared with you. Y'all. Have a great
