  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining us. We appreciate you,

• 0:09
  Speaker 1: a question for Stave before we get out of here.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: I sure, donc I'm curious to know, Uh, how do
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: you handle the respect? How many people do you take
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: care of and the responsibility that you take care How
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: many people do you really take care of? You know something, man,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: that's interesting because I've been having just and it's a
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: serious business too. The past few weeks. I've been grappling
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: with that and for a lot of people out there
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: who have been chosen by God to play the role
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: that you have in the lives of so many people.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: There are a lot of chosen people out there. That
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: a lot of people out there that the first one
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: to go to college and their family, first one to
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: climb the corporate ladder, first one to open up a business,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: first one to have a savings, first one to consider retirement,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: first one in your family to know anything about investments.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: It's just a lot of people out there who have
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: been the chosen one. Everybody on this show is a
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: chosen one. I happen to be a chosen one. Now
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: with that comes an immense amount of responsibility. And in
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: this responsibility there comes a lot of burden, now, a
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: burden we're not meant to carry. We're supposed to turn
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: it over to God. But that's a hard lesson to learn,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: and you don't know that in the beginning. And we
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: carry a lot of stuff because of the number of
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: people will we're responsible for. And what I want you
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: to be careful of is something that I was not
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: conscious and careful of in being responsible for people and
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: being the one to go to person in your family,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: in your circle of friends when they need money. Here
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: they come, they want to borrow, they need this, and
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: it could be small amounts, it could be big amounts.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: The amount is relative to wherever you are financially. But
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: they just keep coming and you want to help them
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: because you're a good person, you know. And then you
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: know if you don't help them, you know they gonna
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: sink and blah blah blah. So you get manipulated a lot,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: You made to feel guilty a lot, and then you know,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: people are just they are just people, man. And what
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I did over the years was I took account of
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: all the people I was taking care of and I
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: started building up a resentment towards some of them, And
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: you gotta be careful of this, folks. I built up
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: a resentment times, and it started affecting me, and it
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: made me feel resentful a lot of times because I
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: give what I think I give so freely and yet
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: get nothing in return. Have you ever felt that way,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: that you just give and give and give, and you
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: don't seem like nobody ever gives to you, there's no
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: return factor. Well, I was feeling that, and it was
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: making me feel some kind of way. And for years
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I carried that until recently I figured it out because
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: you know, there's a scripture in the Bible. I have
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: no idea where it is. It says something to the
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: fact about being it is better to be the lender
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: than the borrower. There's something in there about that. And
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I found myself to be the lender and not the borrower.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: But I began to be resentful about being the lender. Well,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Steve Harvey, would you rather be the borrower the person
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: that needs all the time, or would you rather be
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: the person that has it to give all the time. See,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: it's a weird little line that you got to play
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: in that and a lot of times I was just
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: being resentful. So recently, Man, I released a whole weight
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: off of my shoulder I'm talking about, Man, I feel
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: like a new person almost when I started realizing that
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I fulfilled the promise and the duty and the obligation
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: that I have as a man. And you don't have
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: to be a man to feel this way. I'm just
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: saying for me, just what I felt as a man
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: because I did what I set out to do. When
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: it comes to my children, I gave my children a
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: better life than the one I had, But you can't
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: be resentful of it because I didn't. I want them
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: to have to go through what I went through because
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I had no cushion, I had no safety net. I
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: couldn't go to my parents when I got in trouble
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: because they was poor. But I changed that and I
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: became the person. I gave my children a life that
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I didn't have. But I can't be mad because they
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: got that life now because I gave that life to them.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: You do for people because you wish somebody had done
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: it for you, but now you have the ability to
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: do it for somebody else. Y'all, you just feel in
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: your mission. And so what I started doing was I
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: became instead of resentful, I became proud of myself. Come on, dog,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: you did it. Somebody told me and said, man, if
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: you could do anything you wanted to do, what would
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: you do. I said, I'd golf and fish. He said,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: why don't you just go do that? Man? You don't
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: put your time. Man, I can't just go do what
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I want to do. I have a responsibility. I have
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: responsibility to this radio show. I got responsibility to that
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: game show. I got responsibilities man. That and a lot
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: of people count on me to do those two things
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: because the livelihood is tied to that. But instead of
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: being resentful for that, I became proud of it. Man,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: take pride in the things that you're able to do
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: instead of being resentful for all the stuff you have
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: to do. Does that make sense? That show helped me out, man,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I show hope that'll help you. Man. I'm proud that
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: my kids ain't had the same life I got. I
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: can't get mad at them because they ain't have to
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: struggle like me. Hey man, that's what you set out
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: to do. You did it, tyde I congratulation, mission accomplished.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Have a great day today, y'all.
