1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. It has happened again, over and over

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: and over. That God, the one we mentioned all the time,

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: He just keeps coming through. Another day, another chance, another opportunity,

4
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: another blessing, another gift from God. You are here, take

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: advantage of it. Start with gratitude. It affects your attitude,

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: which is in direct correlation to your altitude. Get it together, y'all. Yeah,

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: give God some glory. Start there. Steve Harvey Morning Show,

8
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: Shirley Strawberry calling for real Mississippi Monica Junior and the

9
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: legend that he is nephew Tommy Junior.

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: What's going on today? Play?

11
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: You know you talk about this a lot, about getting

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: into the circle that you need to be in, getting

13
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,959
Speaker 1: into the right circle, and how fast do we need

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,959
Speaker 1: to get there, and what's the benefit of us getting there?

15
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 2: Well, let me say this to you.

16
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: Somebody told me once to take out a pen and

17
00:00:54,840 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: paper and write down your five closest associates and friends,

18
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 1: and then beside their names, write down their qualities, write

19
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: down their qualities and.

20
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 2: Any flaws they have.

21
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: Just simple one word, you know, strong, caring, you know,

22
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: a loof whatever it is. Now, when you get through

23
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: with those five people you have just described yourself. Because see,

24
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: when it comes to your people that you associate with

25
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: in your circle, you actually get to pick them. So

26
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: what you end up doing inadvertently and you don't even

27
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: realize it, is you pick people who you have similarities with.

28
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 2: That's how you become friends.

29
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: I heard John O'Brien say something, if you hang around

30
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: nine broke people, you will be number ten.

31
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: Ah.

32
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: Command, association brings on participation. Now who you pick and

33
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: choose to associate with is up to you. The sad

34
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: part about this selection process is most people, instead of

35
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: choosing alone, just gonna pick somebody so they can have somebody.

36
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: But everybody ain't good for you. How many times have

37
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: you discovered somebody wasn't good for you? God, how many

38
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: times have you discovered somebody was around you that had

39
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: an agenda? You know? The guy worked for me, he

40
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: told me one time, and I argue with him in

41
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: the ground until he proved it to me. He said,

42
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: mister h loyalty has an expiration date. And I thought

43
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: that was the most asinine thing you could say to me,

44
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: because I'm a loyal person to the end. But that's

45
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: the problem. I'm a loyal person to the end and everything.

46
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: But usually and oftentimes, what you find out is the

47
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: person that you're loyal to has stopped being loyal to

48
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: you a long time ago. Loyalty has an expiration date,

49
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: and you need and learn how to recognize it, because

50
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: if you can recognize the expiration dates, then you can

51
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: end your loyalty too. But how many times have you

52
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: stayed too long? I stayed so long until it costs

53
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: me money in both cases, even the guy that tarted

54
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: to me stole from me.

55
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: That's amazing, man. Wow.

56
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: And as my father used to always tell me, best

57
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: lesson is a bout lesson.

58
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: The one you paid for is the one you learn

59
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: the best. And I sure did so change your association

60
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:37,560
