  Speaker 1: Hey, Junior asked me a question earlier day. Junior, what
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: was your question earlier? Yeah?
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: I was saying, you know, how do you deal with
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: people who always forget all the things you've done for them,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: you know, and they tear you down as soon as
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: you don't do anything they ask you to do, So
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: the one time you can't do it, you nothing to them.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's because the average person has selective memory,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: and the majority of people that you know live under
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the what have you done for me lately? Banner? And
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: if you around people like that, you definitely have to
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: change your environment with these people. You have to rid
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: yourself with people like that. See, what you're not going
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to do is constantly make me the reason why you ain't. Yeah,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna keep being the reason that you ain't.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Do you understand that you ain't because of you? It
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: really has nothing to do with me. I am not
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: going to be the reason why you didn't make it.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be the reason you're not successful or happy.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to be the reason, and I'm not
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: going to exist within your boundaries that keep me confined
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: to that role in your life. And people often forget
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: because they have selective memory. Let me ask you a question,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: But the last time somebody came up to you and said, hey, listen,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I know you helped me in eighty five and I
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: really appreciate that. Then I came back in eighty seven,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: you came through again. Then when ninety came, you really
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: helped me out, man, And I didn't never pay you
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: back a number. Then ninety five I got in another crisscross,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and here you was again. And you've always been there
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: for me. And in two thousand and then you bailed
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: me out again and I couldn't afford to pay you back, man.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: And that and there's twenty fifteen or something else happened
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and you was there for me. It was it was
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. And man, you've done so much for me,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and I really I really shouldn't even ask you for
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: anything else because of all the things you've done for me,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you really don't owe me anything. As a matter of fact.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: You know what, man, Now that I went over the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: inventory of everything that is, and man, let me just
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: go on about my business because you've already done enough
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: for me. You ever heard that speech before? Nope, you
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: probably never will because people have selective memory, they forget
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: all of that. They just want what they want now.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: But see, why is it me that has to be
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the fix for you? See I often say, if you
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: didn't have my number, who would you call? Well, dog,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: gonna get to calling because I'm not going to be
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: it every time something goes wrong. Stop allowing people to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: make you the reason. Stop allowing your children to make
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: you the reason why they are aren't where they want
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: to be. Look, we've all made mistakes as parents, Lord
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: knows I have. I've made a plenty mistakes, but I've
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: tried to correct them. Some of them got corrected, some
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: of them were just lessons that everybody had to learn
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: them and me. But you will not, as an adult,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: keep hanging it over my head or why I wasn't
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: there when you needed me back then, because every time
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: you ask me for something, now I'm here. So I'm
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: gonna stop being the reason why you ain't where you
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: want to be because I keep trying to get you somewhere,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: But you're not gonna keep making it about me. No,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and it's not my job. At one point in time,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: a person has to be responsible for themselves, because haven't
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: you had to be responsible for yourself. Haven't you had
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to be the one the whole time to take care
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: of you. The majority of people who are trying to
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: climb the letter success, you don't have a lot of
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: people you can go to when something go wrong. Think
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: about it. Who can you pick up the phone right
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: now and just ask them to bail you out? Do
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you know how hard that is? Because on your journey
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: to success, it's a lonely road. Ricky Minor had the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: title Level Book, a book that I absolutely loved. The
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: title of his book was, Ain't no traffic on the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Extra Mile? Because y'all out there on that extra mile
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: trying to do more. Ain't no traffic out there. So
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: it ain't a lot of help out there. But somebody
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: always feel like they can call you for help. You
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: ever noticed that? How you always the one? Ain't that crazy?
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Now you can't call them for a slice of pie,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: But they got your number on speed dial, and here
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: they come with that guilt. I know you got it.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I've been watching you. I'm so proud of you. Who
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: you're doing all that you on them shows. Hey, listen,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: we guide ourselves in a bad spot. Yes you did,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Yes you did, And you know what I think you
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: ought to do. I think I think you ought to
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: work yourself out that bad spot, because you know what
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I have to do. Whenever I get in a bad spot,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I gotta work myself out of it. I got to
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: get myself through it. But because of my relationship with God,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I always, I always get through it. He ain't ever
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: let me down. Now it's been tight, it's been a struggle.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: My head is bloody but unbound. Man, I'm not gonna
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: keep being the one to have to fix your life
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: when I can't call you to get a slice of pie.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Stop being the bouncing board for everybody and take care
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: of yourself because if they didn't have you, they'd figured out.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Let them get to figure that out. It don't have
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: to be you. Those are my close remarks today, do
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: yourself a favor. Talk to God today. You would absolutely
• 6:12
