  Speaker 2: I hear people who sit in stands, who criticize people,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: who are out there on the playing field. Now, when
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: you're on the playing field, you have a set of
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: challenges in front of you.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: You're going to be open to criticism. You're going to

  Speaker 1: be open to ridicule.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: You're going to be talked about when you don't know
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: the people who are talking about you. Now, here's the
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: upside to being the player on the field. That's facing

  Speaker 2: all the challenges to criticisms, the laughing, the joke to
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: being talked about. He has something going for him. This person, boy, woman, child, girl,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: man has an opportunity to win. They have an opportunity
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: to win. And in the game of life, Just because
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: you lose one of the games or you lose one
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: of the matches, it don't mean you've lost. You don't
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: get put out. You keep playing. And when you're playing,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: here's the upside. You have the opportunity to win. But
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: guess what? You're going to win some of the matches.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: You're going to win some of the points. You're going
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: to make some of the dunks. You're going to hit
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: some of them over the wall. You're going to hit
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: some out the park. You're going to score some goals.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: You will. If you're playing the game, here's a.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Problem with the people who don't face criticism, who nobody
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: boos or cheers for, who sits in the stands and
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: knows neither victory nor defeat. Those people without realizing it
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: are facing a set of challenges also. And the challenges
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: they facing is how I'm gonna live with myself. What
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do now. What direction am I going in?
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Where am I going to live? Wonder what job will
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: hire me. Wonder if I can get paid for criticize.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: All woe is me. I can't find the purpose in
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: my life. And man, I'm just waking up in a
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: state of confusion. I don't know what to do. Now,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: let me ask you something. Which one of them set
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: of challenges you'd rather be faced with? Because if I'm
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: on the flow playing, if I'm on the field playing,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: if I'm out on the court playing, then guess what?
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I got a chance at winning. But guess what I'm
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: doing every day while I'm playing? I'm strategizing. I'm waking
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: up with a purpose. I'm waking up trying to come
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: up with another angle. I'm in pursuit of a goal
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: every single day versus the people in the stands who
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: know neither victory nor defeat. Get in the game. Face
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the challenges. Better yourself, better your wife, better your children,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: better your condition, better your employment status, better your job,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: better your career.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Take a shot. Come on, man. What you waiting on?
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Because the alternative is to watch other people play the game.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: You know what I just do sometimes?
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I just I get Forbes magazine or Money magazine
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: or sometimes I still grab a copy of the Rob report.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I just flipped through it just to see. I used
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: to get this book called Unique Homes. Unique Homes is
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: a magazine that just has a lot of extravagant houses
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: that's on sale across the country, across the world.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I just flipped through, man.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Let me just see, man, what the people that's playing
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the game out there doing. Stop watching other people become
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: successful when you could very easily be you if you
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: make the decision. But when you make the decision to
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: become successful, get ready for a series of challenges. I
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: think it's more difficult not to accept the challenge. I
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: think it's for me. This is just for me. It
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: may not be the case for you. For me, I
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: think it's far more difficult to wake up and just
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: see how life can go today. Because, man, it could
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: just deal you any kind of hand today.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: You understand? I don't like.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: You know, spades. Let's talk card game, for example. The
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: game of spades. Really, man, there ain't a whole lot
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: you can do if you don't get no spades.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: There's a couple of little strategies you got to do,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: but you can have all this ace, king, queen, diamond,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: all you want, but, man, you ain't got no spades.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: They cutting them. You in trouble.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Be it with different game. You can create what's in
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: your hand. You got dealt a hand, too, but you
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: can create a hand. You can call a trump.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: You can.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Make diamonds your spades. You can make hearts or clubs
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: your spades. That's what I'm saying. You can do something
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: with it. It's a different game, man. You can strategize.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I would rather have a say-so in my life than
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: to wake up every day and just see how it's going.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I think it's more difficult to not accept the challenge
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: to be something than it is to accept the challenge
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: to be something.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I think it's more difficult to sit around and not
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: be nothing.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I think it's harder to watch everybody's life going somewhere
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: but mine. I think would be very difficult for me
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: to sit here and hear them talking about other people
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: that never mentioned my name. I would be difficult for
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: me to see everybody rise and getting promotions except me.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: That would be difficult for me. It may not be
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: for you, but for me, it would be quite challenging.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I would rather accept the challenge of making something out
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: of my life than to sit there and criticize those
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: and then watch and see how my life just may go.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Okay. Just a thought today. You're listening to the Steve
