Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are, last break of the
day and it's been a great day. Wow, what a
day it has been. Steve, you got some forces A question, Carlin,
question for Steve. Yeah, so here's my question, listening. No,

(00:20):
it's not it is me trying to say. But I
know Steve was looking at me like, uh, didn't Carlin,
just like she had a question. I'm sorry, I'm out,
I blacked out. Here's my question, Steve. How do you
show up for yourself every day? How do you do that?

(00:41):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (00:42):
As I know, it's a struggle sometimes.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
You know. I guess I would have to say a
person has to make a commitment MH to your vision,
to your dreams, to your aspirations, and you got to
get admitted to that. And you have to really understand
that this is based solely on you making the decision

(01:08):
every day that I'm gonna be about it. And if
you're not gonna be about it, you can stop looking
around because it's really on you. It's really not about
anybody else. It's really not what they saying about you online.
It's not about how they feel about you on your
job and nothing to do with your coworkers. Your boss

(01:30):
might have a certain amount of control in certain situations,
but your boss is not in control of your destiny
and your life unless you give it to him. And
I've chosen not to give permission to anybody to have
control over my life or my destiny except my God.

(01:51):
That's it, and I have made a conscious commitment. It's
what you gotta do, y'all. You gotta decide, I'm gonna
be about it today. I'm gonna be about it in
spite of I'm gonna be about it, in spite of
the fact that I don't really feel myself today. I'm
gonna be about it. I'm gonna be about it no

(02:13):
matter what they say. I'm gonna be about it, no
matter what the naysayers have come up with. I don't
care what the vote is. I really don't care. I
can't tell you how many times I have had to
ignore what's being said about me, and you have to
do that. I can't tell you how many times you're

(02:34):
gonna have to ignore their opinion of you. You have
got to make a commitment in your mind that you're
gonna be about it. And you know you hear the
saying that the race isn't given to the swift, but
to him that endure it to the end. You got
to endure, man, this is not going to be simple

(02:57):
or easy. You have got to be persistent because guess
what life gonna keep coming and what you have to
factor into it every day is the haters is coming
to They coming. And the crazy thing like now in

(03:17):
the world we live in today is because of social
media and technology, hater's got a voice, hater's got a platform.
Who used to never be able to even have access
to you. So you gotta be careful with with trolling
and social media and all of these stuff. Man, you
can't let that be in your life because man, you'll

(03:41):
get caught up in that. I forgot what I was
watching the other day and the person was so hung
up on the social media and what they were saying. Oh,
I know what I was watching. I was watching a
documentary on meg the Stallion I was on the plane
was watching, which is a really good thing. You know,

(04:01):
these young people they document so much of their life
because they got phone cameras and they got somebody following
them for social media content. But if you keep it
on long enough, you start hearing the real and Meg
the Stallion was really going through it with that trial,
with that with that guy that shot her and all
like this, and then so many people sided against her
and it started affecting her mentally where she was having

(04:25):
anxiety and depression and all of this here. And she
said at one moment, she said, every time something would happen,
she would see what the post was saying, and they
was eating her up and it was throwing her into
something and she said, I gotta stop reading and stuff. Well,
you gotta stop reading it because now you're allowing someone

(04:48):
else to have an opinion about you that don't even
know you, and and what's more important, do not even
care about you. So I developed a couple of I
developed a couple of coping mechanisms. Number one, if you
don't have my cell number, I don't care what you think.

(05:11):
I don't And that has really helped, because if you're
important to me, you probably have my number. And if
my number ain't lit up with texts from people who
actually have access to me, what do I care about you? Online?
And then you have to understand about trollers and haters.

(05:31):
They are not decision makers, power brokers, shakers and movers.
They're none of that. They just hate us. So I
have decided that I'm going to show up every day,
even when I don't feel like it. Just showing up
makes you win. Man. Just showing up put you ahead

(05:52):
of the game. Do you know how many people are
not gonna show up? You know how many people gonna quit?
Not me. I made a commitment to show up. I'm
showing up. Just show up, man, Just keep putting one
foot in front of the next. Keep showing up. There's
a victory on the other side of it. And I

(06:14):
don't care how uncomfortable it is. But I've discovered one
last thing. Everything I've ever wanted in life was on
the other side of uncomfortable. I just keep putting my
foot in front of the other. I don't care how
uncomfortable it is. I'm committed to the show up. Thank
you for asking, because those are my clothings. Why sure,

(06:36):
that's why they talk to God today. He'd absolutely love
to hear front of it.
