• 0:10
  Speaker 1: question for Steve as.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: We go out, I do now, you know, and it's
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: going to the weekend. I want to ask you something
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: unk about being great, the decision that you made to
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: be great. It's okay to be great, It's okay.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Did you check with Tommy before you ask Steve that question?
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: By the way, I mean no, no, I ain't checking
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: with him. I'm trying to figure I mean, what are
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: you asking me to what?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Sometimes people feel like, you know, to be great, to
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: move forward. It's okay to be great, It's okay. When
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: did you make that decision? When did you make decisions? Well,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: it's great.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: It's absolutely fine to want to be great at something.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: You know, that's not an arrogant thing to want to
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: be great at something. I mean, you know, you can
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: want to be a great husband, you can want to
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: have be the head of a great family. It's so
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: many things that you can pick to be great at.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Why would you want to be mediocre as a as
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: a father, mediocre as a husband? Why would you want
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: to be just an average husband on average father, don't
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: I don't understand that when there's a simple way to
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: become great at it, because it's like everybody knows that
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: the difference between ordinary is and extraordinary is one word,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: and that's extra. Greatness requires extra But why would you
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: do less? See? Doing less producers less? The results are less.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: When you do more, you produce more, you can have more,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: you can be more. Less for me has never been
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: an option. You know, I've been very, very fortunate in
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: my life. With all of the setbacks that I've had,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: all of the missteps that I've made, I've never had
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: had to give back the blessings that God gave me. Now,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: after saying that, I will tell you that I have
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: lost everything I've ever owned twice because somewhere in there
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I stopped. I stopped along the way of pursuing greatness
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: and I started involving myself in mediocre activities, making mediocre decisions.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: You know, that was a period in my life, man,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: where I made some decisions that was just not for
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: the betterment of me. You can do that, you know,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: because God gives us the power of choice, and sometimes
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: getting caught up into hype and the belief and having
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: so much fun and it feels good. A lot of
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: things that ain't good for you feel really good. And
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: let me say that again to you. A lot of
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: things that are not good for you feel really good.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: And if you continue down that road, you have to pay.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I listened to a lot of people who are addicts,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: and they talking about how they became at it. You know,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: they got high of something, and then in pursuit of
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: that high, getting it over and over again, they kept
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: trying to find that original high, not realizing that it
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: would take more to get that original high. Now, in
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: that more to get that original high, it took away
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: time for you to pursue greatness. It's hard, man, it's
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: hard and so and the devil is busy. So the
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: devil will always present to you some form of temptation
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: that's not good for you, that will require your time
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: and allow you and require that you step away from
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: your pursuit of greatness. Look at what keeps happening to
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: this young to this brother that we always pulling for,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: this brother that was a politician, Andrew Gillip. Everybody was
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: pulling for Hilp and he just keeps slipping back because
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: the devil is busy, man. He keeps putting in front
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: of you that thing that he know you crave. You know,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: that sensation that you get from being high off of
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: a drug. Yeah, but it's so temporary, man, So you
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: have to constantly wake up and make in your mind,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: make up in your mind the decision to be great,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: and in the pursuit of greatness will it will help
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: you to make the right decision. And if you include
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: God in the mix, if you ask God to help
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: you order your steps and you ask God to show
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: you the way, you ask God for his guidance, You
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: ask God for his patience. You ask God to speak
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: to me and let me know that it's you that's
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: talking to me. Because sometimes man, like I know a
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: person that has dreams and stuff and they like to
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: use their dreams as a sign from God. Well, every
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: time you dream of something that ain't God, the devil
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: is busy man. The devil can come to you in
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: your dream and make you think it's you can be convinced.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I saw it in a dream. Yeah. I had a
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: dude tell me one time. Man, he said, Steve, Man,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I know you know what I'm talking about man because
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: I had this vision of how my life was gonna
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: be Man and I'm gonna leave my family. I said, Man,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: don't do that, bro, he said, Steve. But then you
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did, And I paid dearly.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: And even though my decision I had fixed in my
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: mind that it was the right thing to do at
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: the time I made it, I made it at a
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: point in my life where I at twenty seven. I
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: was using a twenty seven year old mentality. But my
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: decision to pursue my greatness cost me a family. I
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: was just listening to Shaq on online this week talking
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: to his son, his son who wants to be in
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: basketball and pursue greatness. He said, make sure you work
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: because it's gonna take everything you got. And are you
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: sure you want to do that, because Shaq said, I
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: lost my family trying to be great. Because you have
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: to watch the decisions you make, because sometimes the pursuit
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: of greatness can cost you dearly. In the pursuit of greatness,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: it still has to line up with the will of God.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Because the minute you can start making all your decisions
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: in the pursuit to greatness and it don't include God,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: the Devil, gonna slip in the man. Those are my
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: closing remarks. I hope you got something from that today. Hey, listen,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: talk to God, y'all. He would absolutely love to hear first,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: even though it's been y'all. Stay in people.
