Misdirected Hate: Why We Criticize What We Secretly Want

WEBVTT
00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:06.257
Welcome back to the Progression Podcast. I'm your host, 007 Man.
00:00:06.277 --> 00:00:08.597
I'm so glad to be back with you.
00:00:08.757 --> 00:00:17.037
It's been a great year, great month, great week, great day, great hour, great second.
00:00:18.017 --> 00:00:24.497
And man, God is amazing. So good to be back with you, man. Like I tell you,
00:00:24.597 --> 00:00:25.857
we're the Progression Podcast.
00:00:26.857 --> 00:00:31.197
Right on the screen. We're the Progression Podcast. We speak liberation,
00:00:31.657 --> 00:00:33.717
education, and elevation.
00:00:34.137 --> 00:00:38.057
I was liberated from a street life, educated in the prison system,
00:00:38.337 --> 00:00:44.037
and elevated once I gave my life to Jesus Christ. I always say that because
00:00:44.037 --> 00:00:47.737
this is going to talk about liberation, man.
00:00:48.017 --> 00:00:55.517
This show set you free from things that you might think you don't do, but you do do.
00:00:56.157 --> 00:00:59.417
But you know you might not see them i
00:00:59.417 --> 00:01:02.637
always talk about second corinthians 5 and 17 therefore
00:01:02.637 --> 00:01:06.617
if any man be in christ he is a new creation old
00:01:06.617 --> 00:01:09.537
things are passed away and behold all things are
00:01:09.537 --> 00:01:19.057
brand new we're gonna talk about misdirected hate misdirected hate hey man this
00:01:19.057 --> 00:01:23.977
is gonna be one of the ones i know i always say that i always say this gonna
00:01:23.977 --> 00:01:28.417
be one of the ones it's gonna be one of them ones, and I'm going to comb your hair for you today.
00:01:28.957 --> 00:01:30.817
I'm going to comb your hair for you today.
00:01:31.717 --> 00:01:35.017
This old preacher used to say that. He said, I'm going to get you right.
00:01:35.397 --> 00:01:40.837
And I understand what he was talking about. Hey, I'm coming from 1 Thessalonians 4 and 11.
00:01:41.575 --> 00:01:49.195
411 and 12, I've used this same scripture for past podcasts,
00:01:49.195 --> 00:01:55.175
but I think this podcast, it fits it so well.
00:01:55.335 --> 00:01:58.755
It fits it so well. And I want you to read along with me.
00:01:59.755 --> 00:02:05.295
4.11, 1 Thessalonians, make it your goal to live a quiet life,
00:02:06.255 --> 00:02:14.375
minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.
00:02:15.215 --> 00:02:21.855
Then, people who are not believers will respect the way you live.
00:02:22.295 --> 00:02:28.475
Listen, make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and
00:02:28.475 --> 00:02:32.995
working with your hands, just as we instructed you before,
00:02:33.815 --> 00:02:39.195
then people who are not believers will respect the way you live.
00:02:39.395 --> 00:02:43.395
Look, this is so honest.
00:02:43.675 --> 00:02:48.435
I have to say this, misdirected anger. The reason I'm doing this is because
00:02:48.435 --> 00:02:53.675
it's not a get back at anyone, but I'll be receiving a lot of.
00:02:54.715 --> 00:02:59.215
DMs, and I receive a lot of, not a lot because I'm not famous,
00:02:59.455 --> 00:03:04.415
not a lot of people listening to my podcast yet, but I keep going.
00:03:04.495 --> 00:03:07.975
I keep going because I know that's the only way it can happen.
00:03:08.135 --> 00:03:13.375
If I quit, it will never happen, but if I don't keep going and try,
00:03:14.275 --> 00:03:16.855
it just won't happen, so I got to keep going.
00:03:17.155 --> 00:03:22.055
That's nevertheless, I got to tell you about this. comments so a lot of my uh
00:03:22.055 --> 00:03:27.975
comments that are good comments and I thank y'all for leaving comments and and
00:03:27.975 --> 00:03:34.215
stuff on my stuff but a lot of the good comments be about what I'm talking about.
00:03:35.275 --> 00:03:39.955
And they give me big props man it's a lot of people that say man they got me
00:03:39.955 --> 00:03:44.535
through my day hey man that helped me right there but it's some comments that,
00:03:45.140 --> 00:03:51.240
And that's negative, in which I welcome it all. I welcome the negative comments as well.
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:56.720
But those comments be more about my aesthetics.
00:03:58.020 --> 00:04:04.040
So one comment, well, not one comment, but a lot of comments that are negative.
00:04:04.260 --> 00:04:07.420
Talk about these, my shoe collection.
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:12.120
They say, oh, you're not giving us real good game because, man,
00:04:12.180 --> 00:04:14.100
you're wasting your money on the shoe collection.
00:04:15.140 --> 00:04:20.460
You don't really even know me, right? You don't know if Nike sent me those shoes
00:04:20.460 --> 00:04:23.680
or whoever sent me those shoes for free.
00:04:24.220 --> 00:04:29.000
You don't know. Now, I'm not saying they do. I'm just saying that you don't
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:37.260
know the story behind the cases and the shoes because you don't know because you don't know me.
00:04:37.260 --> 00:04:45.840
You make this assumption of I'm just stupid, this and that, because you see that stuff behind me.
00:04:46.180 --> 00:04:53.180
Or you just don't like the shirts I'm wearing or you don't like the studio I have.
00:04:53.640 --> 00:04:58.120
It's all about aesthetics when it's a negative thing, but when it's something else.
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:05.540
But I welcome it all and I welcome y'all. But I think, and correct me if I'm
00:05:05.540 --> 00:05:10.080
wrong and come down in the comments, please give me some more comments.
00:05:10.220 --> 00:05:12.080
I need them negative and positive.
00:05:13.420 --> 00:05:18.640
Misdirected hate, I think they suffer from a misdirected hate.
00:05:19.500 --> 00:05:26.460
And I want to get into it. And my first topic is self-honesty.
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:28.780
Self-honesty. Self-honesty.
00:05:29.990 --> 00:05:38.370
I just want to ask a real question. Do you hate what others are doing or what others are having?
00:05:40.230 --> 00:05:47.150
Because secretly in your mind, you know you probably lack the ability to do
00:05:47.150 --> 00:05:50.410
what they're doing or have what they're having.
00:05:51.350 --> 00:05:55.730
Really, I don't think you lack the ability. I think you might think you lack
00:05:55.730 --> 00:06:00.510
the ability to do what they're doing or have what they're having. Right.
00:06:01.370 --> 00:06:05.810
So self-honesty, we got to get it right with ourselves. Right.
00:06:06.470 --> 00:06:11.730
Think about this. Have you convinced yourself that rich people are evil?
00:06:12.510 --> 00:06:19.670
And then you tell yourself something like, man, I don't want to be rich because
00:06:19.670 --> 00:06:22.490
I don't want to stop being a good person.
00:06:22.490 --> 00:06:27.750
You know, you got to be a good person and rich people, they're not good people.
00:06:27.970 --> 00:06:35.190
Have you convinced yourself of that and talk yourself into start criticizing
00:06:35.190 --> 00:06:41.430
those that are getting money or those that have a podcast or those that have started something?
00:06:41.650 --> 00:06:46.310
And when you have started, if you haven't started it, but you criticize that thing.
00:06:46.910 --> 00:06:55.790
And I think that it's a misdirected hate or even a misdirected anger because
00:06:55.790 --> 00:06:59.030
it's in the mirror that you don't do that kind of stuff.
00:06:59.410 --> 00:07:03.970
And it's okay because we all are different.
00:07:04.170 --> 00:07:08.110
And I'm going to get into this. We all are different. We all have different
00:07:08.110 --> 00:07:13.010
things in life that moves us, that motivates us, that we do,
00:07:13.230 --> 00:07:18.410
that we like. But I want to talk about that because this is being honest.
00:07:19.090 --> 00:07:20.810
I'm going to talk about that fake criticism.
00:07:21.850 --> 00:07:26.050
Fake criticism. When you're trying to critique something.
00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:34.660
Is it coming from an honest view or view of, I don't have it,
00:07:34.880 --> 00:07:40.320
so I'm going to say it's ugly or ungodly or sinful?
00:07:41.880 --> 00:07:47.480
Sometimes I hear people say, oh man, that Bentley, ooh, that Bentley is so ugly.
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:49.120
I don't even know why he went about that.
00:07:49.280 --> 00:07:52.260
Hey man, he might not think it's ugly.
00:07:52.440 --> 00:07:57.440
He got him a Bentley. That's what he wanted. and you don't know why he getting it, right?
00:07:58.180 --> 00:08:06.340
Do it make you feel like above someone or do it make you feel like you're more morally,
00:08:07.100 --> 00:08:14.220
you have a more moral compass than someone when you criticize somebody for having
00:08:14.220 --> 00:08:19.500
something or doing something that you in your head, you'll say you'll never do that.
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:24.460
Why am I doing that? I wouldn't have no, I wouldn't even have all that stuff
00:08:24.460 --> 00:08:27.900
back there, man, because that's the, now, if you've seen the whole room,
00:08:28.140 --> 00:08:32.600
you'll really say I'm fiscally or financially ignorant, you know what I'm saying?
00:08:32.620 --> 00:08:35.480
But this is what I want to do.
00:08:35.760 --> 00:08:38.140
You know, this is what I want to do.
00:08:38.580 --> 00:08:42.060
That is, let me, let me tell you, I'm gonna go through some, some phases.
00:08:43.040 --> 00:08:49.700
Number one, number one, you might not act like the fact that,
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.640
wait a minute, wait, I'm going to say this over because it's in my head,
00:08:54.660 --> 00:08:58.340
but it's a thing that we do in the hood.
00:08:58.560 --> 00:09:02.020
And I got to start that over because I got to critique it.
00:09:03.140 --> 00:09:07.580
It's a thing we do in the hood that I used to see and might not be in your neighborhood,
00:09:07.620 --> 00:09:12.880
but in my neighborhood I do see it. So, Johnny goes to prison.
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:19.260
Johnny gets 20 years. Johnny gets home. He does 18 years and he comes home.
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:23.080
And they throw a big party and they welcome Johnny home.
00:09:23.220 --> 00:09:26.160
And they say, man, Johnny, what's up, man? We got to get you.
00:09:26.280 --> 00:09:28.340
Woo, woo, woo. It's a big celebration.
00:09:28.580 --> 00:09:31.760
And the whole hood rejoices, right?
00:09:32.800 --> 00:09:39.160
Now, Jimmy comes home from college, just got a four-year degree.
00:09:39.980 --> 00:09:46.320
And from the whole hood except his family because they're super proud of Jenny
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:52.620
they the whole hood is crickets I don't know why is that like that,
00:09:53.603 --> 00:09:58.983
It's some misdirected hate that happens. Let me tell you, you might not like
00:09:58.983 --> 00:10:05.323
the fact that he left and, quote unquote, you had to stay.
00:10:06.083 --> 00:10:13.723
Have you convinced yourself that doing time in prison is a badge of honor and
00:10:13.723 --> 00:10:18.483
you hate success if it's not you that has the success?
00:10:19.223 --> 00:10:22.703
Have you tricked your mind into believing that?
00:10:23.563 --> 00:10:28.103
Hey, don't do that, man. Hey, I'm not just telling you some stuff.
00:10:28.443 --> 00:10:35.463
We're going to get into some practices of cleaning that up and helping you to
00:10:35.463 --> 00:10:38.323
break away from that mindset.
00:10:39.403 --> 00:10:43.003
And only way to break away from that mindset is maturity.
00:10:44.223 --> 00:10:51.463
That's the only way. Maturity is like we have to understand we are not the same.
00:10:52.063 --> 00:10:54.563
That's maturity. I had to do the same thing.
00:10:55.263 --> 00:10:59.403
You got to understand our lives are vastly different, right?
00:10:59.643 --> 00:11:05.203
We grew up different. We're taught different. We have different goals. We have different.
00:11:05.483 --> 00:11:09.883
Our lives are just different. We have different goals for our lives and stuff like that.
00:11:10.123 --> 00:11:16.723
We are going to make decisions for our lives according to how we think or past
00:11:16.723 --> 00:11:21.943
experiences and stuff like that. And I got an example.
00:11:22.303 --> 00:11:25.363
Check this out. This is one example of something, right?
00:11:26.323 --> 00:11:30.503
A woman at your job, you're at work, right?
00:11:31.023 --> 00:11:33.763
And you say, hey, you want to go get something to eat? You know,
00:11:33.863 --> 00:11:38.203
we go get something to eat. you know, I drive, you know, and so y'all driving
00:11:38.203 --> 00:11:42.483
and she's in the passenger seat and you go down this certain street and she
00:11:42.483 --> 00:11:45.643
said, Hey, Hey, I feel uncomfortable going down this street.
00:11:45.803 --> 00:11:49.103
Can you go down another street and go the other way to get there?
00:11:49.243 --> 00:11:54.243
And you like, man, this lady tripping, man, you know, and you see,
00:11:54.403 --> 00:11:56.883
she's visibly shaken, you know what I'm saying?
00:11:57.043 --> 00:12:01.063
She, and she just quiet the whole time to the restaurant.
00:12:01.103 --> 00:12:05.303
And then she's quiet the whole time through ordering.
00:12:05.703 --> 00:12:09.003
She don't even order. You order. You take her back to the office.
00:12:09.143 --> 00:12:13.763
Then you hear, you see Phil at the water cooler.
00:12:13.943 --> 00:12:19.663
And you say, man, Karen, man, Janet or whoever, she was tripping, man. You know what?
00:12:20.103 --> 00:12:24.423
Man, I ain't going to never talk to her. She weird, man. She weird.
00:12:24.503 --> 00:12:25.823
I would never act like that.
00:12:26.263 --> 00:12:28.143
What you don't realize is,
00:12:28.964 --> 00:12:33.404
that maybe that street, she was raped on that street.
00:12:33.564 --> 00:12:37.144
She didn't tell you because you don't need to know all her business.
00:12:37.444 --> 00:12:43.104
But, and when she rides on that street or rides through that street.
00:12:44.064 --> 00:12:51.524
She might be triggered to remember that trauma that she felt at that time.
00:12:51.524 --> 00:12:58.444
And so she was like, hey, can you, you know, I'm saying that you don't know it all.
00:12:59.004 --> 00:13:05.124
You might critique something that you don't know the insides of the whole story
00:13:05.124 --> 00:13:07.064
and you're not you're not knowing.
00:13:07.184 --> 00:13:09.804
Look, I'm going to do it with money right now.
00:13:10.584 --> 00:13:15.524
Say Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods buys a 70 foot yacht, you know,
00:13:15.684 --> 00:13:20.204
and you say you don't need that yacht. He don't need all that.
00:13:20.544 --> 00:13:23.884
That's a waste of money, man. He don't know how to balance. He don't know how
00:13:23.884 --> 00:13:27.744
to, you know, do his money right. If he knew how to do his money right, he'd be doing this.
00:13:27.984 --> 00:13:31.224
And at the same time, you're living at home with your mama.
00:13:31.764 --> 00:13:37.484
I just can't make it make sense to me. But you don't know his life, right?
00:13:39.324 --> 00:13:48.724
His financial situation by buying a yacht could be the equivalent to you paying a month's rent.
00:13:50.284 --> 00:13:53.224
It might be different for him than you.
00:13:53.884 --> 00:14:00.924
Or him buying a Bentley or a dude buying a Bentley might be the equivalent to
00:14:00.924 --> 00:14:06.164
you buying lunch for somebody or buying lunch for you and somebody for him.
00:14:06.484 --> 00:14:11.384
Y'all money is not the same. And you can't judge. I saw it in Jeff Bezos.
00:14:11.604 --> 00:14:15.904
He had a wedding. And so, man, so many people went on him and telling him how to go.
00:14:16.064 --> 00:14:21.524
But the thing is, the more visible you are, the more scrutiny you will get.
00:14:22.104 --> 00:14:25.904
So it's like LeBron James, man. They say, oh, he don't have to do that.
00:14:25.984 --> 00:14:28.064
Oh, he don't need that. Oh, why are you doing this?
00:14:28.544 --> 00:14:31.664
Hey, that's that man business. What you worried about it for?
00:14:33.304 --> 00:14:38.264
It's misdirected hate. And I think that hate is in the mirror.
00:14:39.124 --> 00:14:45.844
And like I told you, we're going to get over it because we're going to find a solution for it.
00:14:46.224 --> 00:14:52.544
We're going to find a solution for it. Look, I want to go into this topic. have some empathy.
00:14:53.264 --> 00:14:56.444
And you know what empathy is? I'm going to read it. I have my,
00:14:56.564 --> 00:14:58.044
I have a computer right here.
00:14:58.424 --> 00:15:02.384
It went black and it went dark, but I already know. Y'all see this?
00:15:02.944 --> 00:15:08.304
It went dark. I think my battery is low. But, uh,
00:15:09.187 --> 00:15:15.987
Oh, there I go. It came up. Y'all see? It came up. Okay. The battery is low. But look, empathy.
00:15:16.547 --> 00:15:20.787
The ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
00:15:21.207 --> 00:15:27.127
If you can't have empathize, if you can't empathize with someone,
00:15:27.307 --> 00:15:31.587
how they might feel or what they might want to do.
00:15:33.067 --> 00:15:37.827
Maybe you need to be quiet and just run your race.
00:15:37.827 --> 00:15:40.787
Let's go back to the text, man. Let's go back to the text.
00:15:41.287 --> 00:15:46.787
Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands.
00:15:47.067 --> 00:15:52.447
Just as we instructed you before, then people who are not believers will respect
00:15:52.447 --> 00:15:56.767
the way you live and you will not need to depend on others.
00:15:57.427 --> 00:16:02.147
Even people not of the faith will understand, hey, man, that dude mind his business,
00:16:02.287 --> 00:16:03.907
man. He don't be in people's business.
00:16:04.747 --> 00:16:07.907
That's what it's all about. Run your race.
00:16:08.547 --> 00:16:15.007
Run your race. My last thoughts, I got to tell y'all, I told you that it's not
00:16:15.007 --> 00:16:16.827
one of those beat up sessions to
00:16:16.827 --> 00:16:22.507
a person that watches other people pocket watching what they call it now.
00:16:22.907 --> 00:16:26.507
And then say, oh, man, he don't need that. You don't need that.
00:16:26.647 --> 00:16:28.907
And it's a misdirected hate. I'm telling y'all.
00:16:29.167 --> 00:16:31.147
And my last thoughts is power.
00:16:32.887 --> 00:16:42.147
Power. Now, think about this. You have the power to change your life.
00:16:42.607 --> 00:16:46.927
You don't have to stay the same and you don't have to look at everybody and
00:16:46.927 --> 00:16:50.387
say, man, he got this. I wish he don't need that.
00:16:50.547 --> 00:16:55.587
But really, secretly, you're saying you wish you had that or he doing this or
00:16:55.587 --> 00:16:59.047
secretly you're saying, man, I wish he I wish I was doing that.
00:16:59.047 --> 00:17:01.867
And I'm going to talk about power.
00:17:03.107 --> 00:17:05.627
Why power? Why power?
00:17:06.729 --> 00:17:11.789
See, y'all know what the opposite of why power was, willpower.
00:17:12.149 --> 00:17:14.009
You know, I got willpower, right?
00:17:14.389 --> 00:17:19.009
I got willpower to do some things, like to make some things happen,
00:17:19.009 --> 00:17:20.469
you know what I'm saying, in my life.
00:17:20.649 --> 00:17:23.229
I do have the willpower, right?
00:17:23.629 --> 00:17:25.589
But what I need is the why power.
00:17:26.129 --> 00:17:29.809
Why am I doing this? Why am I hating?
00:17:30.209 --> 00:17:36.289
Why am I criticizing everything? Why am I so negative?
00:17:36.989 --> 00:17:44.709
Or the flip of why, why not, why not do what I need to do to get to that point.
00:17:45.069 --> 00:17:48.749
Look here, I'm going to tell you a story. I'm looking to the camera because
00:17:48.749 --> 00:17:50.669
my wife said I never look into the camera.
00:17:50.849 --> 00:18:00.189
Look, so I have a 20-foot beam, 20-foot long beam, and it's four foot in the air, right?
00:18:00.829 --> 00:18:09.649
So I tell you, I say, hey, man, I got this beam that's four foot in the air off the ground.
00:18:10.209 --> 00:18:13.189
And if you, it's a 20-foot long beam.
00:18:13.349 --> 00:18:19.069
And if you walk it from end to end, when you get to the end,
00:18:19.229 --> 00:18:20.889
I'm going to give you $1,000.
00:18:21.429 --> 00:18:26.929
Now, you might say, hey, man, yeah, I'll do that. You know, I got the wheel to do that.
00:18:27.209 --> 00:18:32.149
You know, I got wheel power. I can do that. And I get that thousand when I come off, right?
00:18:32.589 --> 00:18:34.649
Now, what if I change this up?
00:18:35.389 --> 00:18:42.249
Same scenario, same scenario, but the beam is a thousand feet in the air from
00:18:42.249 --> 00:18:45.729
building to building and you can fall, right?
00:18:46.749 --> 00:18:51.729
Do you have the willpower to do that? And I told you I'll get you a thousand
00:18:51.729 --> 00:18:53.649
dollars still when you do that.
00:18:54.169 --> 00:18:59.849
You'll say, no, man, I'm not going to do that. You know what I'm saying? Wait a minute.
00:19:00.769 --> 00:19:06.449
Picture your child in the middle of the being. Now would you do it?
00:19:07.069 --> 00:19:14.169
It's your why. Why now? How important is it to you to do this?
00:19:14.409 --> 00:19:17.769
You got to have power to change. change
00:19:17.769 --> 00:19:21.789
your power depends on
00:19:21.789 --> 00:19:24.889
you changing don't worry about what everybody
00:19:24.889 --> 00:19:31.849
else is doing around you you have goals you have dreams you have things that
00:19:31.849 --> 00:19:36.549
you want to do you have a family I'm talking about everybody has a family I
00:19:36.549 --> 00:19:43.769
don't care if somebody say oh man all my people got no somebody in this world is related to you.
00:19:44.989 --> 00:19:47.929
And if they're not your brother or
00:19:48.356 --> 00:19:58.676
And your sisters are all around you, white, black, Latino, Asian, all brothers.
00:19:58.716 --> 00:20:00.636
Somebody cares about you.
00:20:01.676 --> 00:20:06.856
Somebody cares. So what you got to do is do for you.
00:20:07.416 --> 00:20:13.796
Do what you got to do. Now, misdirected hate, I want to go right back over it.
00:20:13.896 --> 00:20:18.436
And I know I ain't going to keep it long, like 40 minutes or nothing like that. Ms.
00:20:18.536 --> 00:20:22.276
Director, hey, I came from 1 Thessalonians 4, 11, and 12.
00:20:22.856 --> 00:20:27.316
Read it for yourself. This is Paul talking to the church of Thessalonica.
00:20:28.876 --> 00:20:33.296
Thessalonica, Thessalonica, however you say it. He's talking to the church, right?
00:20:33.536 --> 00:20:37.656
And he's telling them, you know what I'm saying? He's giving them instructions on how to live, right?
00:20:38.796 --> 00:20:43.536
So it says, make it your business to live a quiet life, minding your own business
00:20:43.536 --> 00:20:47.556
and working with your own hands, just as we instructed you before.
00:20:47.856 --> 00:20:52.876
Then people who are not believers will respect the way you live, right?
00:20:53.356 --> 00:20:56.396
Self-honesty. We talked about self-honesty, man.
00:20:57.016 --> 00:21:04.196
Do you just hate because you've tricked yourself to believe in that people that
00:21:04.196 --> 00:21:06.536
are wealthy are not good people?
00:21:06.876 --> 00:21:08.996
Have you tricked yourself into believing that?
00:21:09.436 --> 00:21:13.616
Man, get that out of the way. You need the power to break that.
00:21:13.816 --> 00:21:17.856
You got to have the power to break that. And I talked about that.
00:21:18.036 --> 00:21:20.796
It's this stuff. It's this power. We have to break it.
00:21:21.196 --> 00:21:26.616
So when I talk about power, let me, let me, you know what?
00:21:27.096 --> 00:21:30.276
I got something that I really, I need.
00:21:30.436 --> 00:21:35.576
We got, it's the power to break things, right? The power to break things, right?
00:21:36.276 --> 00:21:42.676
Is real life. And you got to break these habits. And hating is a habit.
00:21:43.116 --> 00:21:45.356
You know what I'm saying? You know how they had the old song,
00:21:45.536 --> 00:21:47.576
Bottle of This Habit? Hating is a habit.
00:21:48.056 --> 00:21:50.176
Look, this is something I was taught.
00:21:50.716 --> 00:21:54.996
Good habits are hard to create, but easy to lose.
00:21:55.516 --> 00:22:01.156
Let me tell you why he says that. Good habits are hard to create, but easy to lose.
00:22:01.376 --> 00:22:06.316
So, you know, they hard. good habits, like working out and stuff,
00:22:06.436 --> 00:22:10.036
it's hard to start, you know, going to the gym all the time.
00:22:10.216 --> 00:22:11.156
You know what I'm saying?
00:22:11.356 --> 00:22:16.116
But if you stop, but if you keep going, you know what I'm saying? You'll get used to it.
00:22:16.196 --> 00:22:19.956
But if you're doing it and then you stop and don't do it for a long time,
00:22:20.276 --> 00:22:22.976
a good habit, man, it's easy to lose.
00:22:23.096 --> 00:22:31.336
You can stop it. Now, a bad habit is easy to create and hard to lose. Think about this.
00:22:32.386 --> 00:22:36.566
So maybe you went on a trip and you started drinking or you started smoking.
00:22:36.566 --> 00:22:38.446
You know, you never did this.
00:22:38.606 --> 00:22:41.946
And then you come back off that trip and then you find yourself,
00:22:42.086 --> 00:22:45.486
man, I'm still drinking that stuff or still smoking how I was.
00:22:45.946 --> 00:22:50.526
And then now you got a habit, a negative habit, right?
00:22:50.866 --> 00:22:58.566
So I'm trying to tell you that maybe you need to get in practice of having empathy for somebody else.
00:22:59.606 --> 00:23:05.346
Don't always critique or judge Then say judge Nowhere in this thing Because
00:23:05.346 --> 00:23:09.546
I know people that's not of the faith That know the Bible They'll say,
00:23:09.586 --> 00:23:13.546
oh, judge not But you need to read the whole passage Right?
00:23:14.226 --> 00:23:20.246
It's why power, right? We talked about the fake criticism too We was talking
00:23:20.246 --> 00:23:23.986
about, you know, like Is it real?
00:23:24.226 --> 00:23:28.246
Do you really feel that way? or you're just saying that because you want to
00:23:28.246 --> 00:23:30.686
dismiss something because you don't have it?
00:23:30.966 --> 00:23:37.846
We talked about Jimmy and Johnny, how Johnny was coming home from prison and
00:23:37.846 --> 00:23:44.246
you celebrated, but then you was mad at Johnny because he was a four-year degree.
00:23:44.426 --> 00:23:47.466
So you went to the negative instead of the positive.
00:23:48.006 --> 00:23:53.366
And you know what I'm saying? You was like, you done tricked yourself to seeing
00:23:53.366 --> 00:23:57.006
that going to prison is a badge of honor, So we celebrate that,
00:23:57.126 --> 00:24:00.746
and then you just like put in your face, oh, he think he more than us.
00:24:01.086 --> 00:24:05.626
Oh, man, he think he something because he got that four-year degree because he left the hood.
00:24:05.806 --> 00:24:10.806
And sometimes the thing about it, we see more of that other thing because them
00:24:10.806 --> 00:24:15.466
dudes that do have the four-year degree, they sometimes don't even come back to the hood.
00:24:15.846 --> 00:24:18.526
They keep going and keep going.
00:24:18.926 --> 00:24:26.166
I'm telling you, my brother, he did it. My little brother, he went from college, four-year degree.
00:24:26.366 --> 00:24:31.486
Then he went to getting his master's, and then he went to getting his doctorate.
00:24:31.606 --> 00:24:32.946
He was living in Houston.
00:24:33.186 --> 00:24:41.086
He grew up in Fifth Ward. He left Houston, started staying in Beaumont. Then he stayed in D.C.
00:24:41.366 --> 00:24:44.166
Then he left there and went to Rhode Island.
00:24:44.966 --> 00:24:46.946
He was doing some stuff. Hey, man.
00:24:47.735 --> 00:24:53.955
And I celebrate that dude every time I see him because I'm so proud of him.
00:24:54.235 --> 00:25:00.555
I'm so proud of him. I'm so proud of all my people that surround me because I see him trying, man.
00:25:00.995 --> 00:25:05.835
I see him trying. That fake criticism, though, you got to get tired.
00:25:06.095 --> 00:25:07.675
And we talked about maturity.
00:25:07.975 --> 00:25:12.875
Maturity, man, is knowing that everybody is different. Everybody don't think like you think.
00:25:13.235 --> 00:25:16.295
You know what I'm saying? And even money-wise, financial-wise,
00:25:16.535 --> 00:25:18.835
people use their money different.
00:25:19.555 --> 00:25:27.195
Some people like Steve Jobs, man, Steve Jobs, he wouldn't care if he lost everything
00:25:27.195 --> 00:25:32.455
because he knew in his mind that he was cold, he could get it back, right?
00:25:32.755 --> 00:25:35.855
So maturity is knowing that everybody is different.
00:25:36.675 --> 00:25:41.055
Everybody not thinking like you, right? And so then I talked about having some
00:25:41.055 --> 00:25:48.215
empathy and have the ability to understand and share the feelings of another, right?
00:25:48.495 --> 00:25:52.555
And then on my last house, I talked about power and I talked about why power.
00:25:53.035 --> 00:25:56.055
A make your why. Why are you doing this?
00:25:56.315 --> 00:26:00.315
A why am I not doing what they doing?
00:26:00.475 --> 00:26:06.995
But I criticize it all the time. But really on the cool, it's fake criticism
00:26:06.995 --> 00:26:10.075
and I want to do it. I want to be one of them.
00:26:12.535 --> 00:26:16.935
Hey, man, I love y'all. 007, man, I've been with y'all in the beginning.
00:26:17.095 --> 00:26:19.875
I'm going to keep going, and I'm going to explain that to you, too.
00:26:20.975 --> 00:26:25.575
I got to keep going with this podcast. I might not be seeing the numbers,
00:26:25.755 --> 00:26:29.555
right, but I got to keep going. I got to keep trying.
00:26:29.735 --> 00:26:34.735
I got to keep doing it because really and truly it ministers to me.
00:26:34.735 --> 00:26:39.375
I listen to those podcasts, those older podcasts, and I listen to them.
00:26:39.535 --> 00:26:41.395
And man, it gives me motivation.
00:26:41.615 --> 00:26:45.935
It gives me the motivation not to be doing crazy stuff out there in the world
00:26:45.935 --> 00:26:48.695
because I say, man, you just did a podcast about that.
00:26:48.875 --> 00:26:53.575
You saying don't do that and you're doing it. No, I'm going to be held accountable
00:26:53.575 --> 00:26:56.315
because I'm giving this to the world.
00:26:57.015 --> 00:26:59.255
Amen. 007, I love y'all. Peace.
