Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: After spending some time last week with myself, I came
- 0:05Speaker 1: away with some great takeaways and it's a it's really
- 0:10Speaker 1: really hard, I know, for the average person to take
- 0:13Speaker 1: time to their self. It's really really hard for me
- 0:17Speaker 1: because I have so many things attached to my life.
- 0:21Speaker 1: I have such a huge life, and I realized it,
- 0:26Speaker 1: and I do realize that when I try to set
- 0:29Speaker 1: this life down sometimes and just give it a rest.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Everybody needs a rest. Everybody needs a break, everybody needs
- 0:40Speaker 1: some time to they self. But my team did the
- 0:43Speaker 1: best they could without bothering me with stuff that was
- 0:48Speaker 1: the day to day. They only text me if it
- 0:50Speaker 1: was pressing and they had to have a response, and
- 0:54Speaker 1: I'm the only one that can give them a response.
- 0:56Speaker 1: So they played it so I wasn't bombarded with a
- 0:59Speaker 1: lot of stuff last week. I was still a lot
- 1:04Speaker 1: of requests was coming in, but not the usual amount.
- 1:08Speaker 1: And even though what I'm telling you, I know it's
- 1:10Speaker 1: difficult to do. It's difficult to just take some time
- 1:13Speaker 1: for yourself, but it's imperative. And I discovered that I
- 1:19Speaker 1: really have to do it more and I really really
- 1:22Speaker 1: have to discover that I have to just do more
- 1:25Speaker 1: or more things for me. I do so much and
- 1:28Speaker 1: a lot of women can relate to this, and a
- 1:30Speaker 1: lot of men. You do so much for other people
- 1:34Speaker 1: that you look up at the end of the day
- 1:36Speaker 1: and you ain't done nothing for yourself. You take care
- 1:40Speaker 1: the kids, you take care of the house, You take
- 1:43Speaker 1: care of your man, You take care of your wife,
- 1:46Speaker 1: You take care the kids. You go to work, you
- 1:49Speaker 1: take care of them, bills. You come home, you take
- 1:51Speaker 1: care of the yard. Something happening with the car, you
- 1:54Speaker 1: gotta go see about that. Something happening up at the school,
- 1:57Speaker 1: you gotta go see that. Then if you got a
- 1:59Speaker 1: child that's got some extra curriculum activities, now you got
- 2:02Speaker 1: to support that because that's your job, because your child
- 2:05Speaker 1: can't get that unless you take them there. And it's
- 2:08Speaker 1: just it gets to be a lot. But you can't
- 2:12Speaker 1: forget about you because without you, this whole thing don't
- 2:16Speaker 1: really work. So every now and then, I can't tell
- 2:21Speaker 1: you how often, or I can't tell you how to
- 2:23Speaker 1: make it happen, but you've got to take some time
- 2:27Speaker 1: to get with just yourself. And you know what it
- 2:29Speaker 1: does like, it's sort of refreshing because you get to
- 2:32Speaker 1: reintroduce yourself to yourself. You know, it's kind of good
- 2:35Speaker 1: to get to know yourself, think your thoughts, respond the
- 2:39Speaker 1: way you want to respond. Respond, Sit where you want
- 2:43Speaker 1: to sit, look out the window, look out at the water,
- 2:47Speaker 1: look out at the park, look out in your backyard,
- 2:50Speaker 1: and just have your own thoughts. That is such a
- 2:54Speaker 1: cool thing to do. You don't spend a lot of
- 2:58Speaker 1: time meditating and praying. You know, I finally took me
- 3:01Speaker 1: a long time, but I just learned this a couple
- 3:04Speaker 1: years ago. The difference between meditation and prayer. Prayer is
- 3:10Speaker 1: talking to God. Prayer is talking to God, putting in
- 3:15Speaker 1: request of God, telling God about your gratitude, your thoughts,
- 3:20Speaker 1: your dreams, your ambitions, your goals. Is saying thank you.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Prayer is talking to God. But meditating is different. Meditating
- 3:31Speaker 1: is listening to God. Get yourself somewhere in a steal
- 3:35Speaker 1: place and be quiet and ask God and ask his
- 3:39Speaker 1: spirit to just talk to you, to calm you, to
- 3:44Speaker 1: give you peace, to keep you enclosed in your right mind,
- 3:49Speaker 1: to just give you a to help you with your decisions,
- 3:53Speaker 1: you know, to just sit there and listen to what
- 3:55Speaker 1: he has to say. Bishop Kenneth Olmar in Las Air
- 4:00Speaker 1: just taught me one of the most valuable lessons I've
- 4:02Speaker 1: ever heard. You know how you have people come up
- 4:05Speaker 1: to you and they may say God told me to
- 4:08Speaker 1: tell you this, or God told me to tell you that.
- 4:11Speaker 1: You've ever heard people come up to you like that.
- 4:13Speaker 1: I'm always leery when people come up to me and say, oh,
- 4:16Speaker 1: I'm glad I met you, because God wanted me to
- 4:18Speaker 1: tell you this. You know what he told me that
- 4:21Speaker 1: rings true. I was asking, I said, man, how do
- 4:25Speaker 1: you know it's God just telling you something? Bishop Kenneth
- 4:29Speaker 1: Omer said, because God's voice has no sin in it.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Because I've heard people say, I'm gonna go down there
- 4:37Speaker 1: and tell him. The Lord talk to me, and I'm
- 4:39Speaker 1: gonna go down there and tell them what's on my mind.
- 4:42Speaker 1: God ain't never told you to go down there and
- 4:44Speaker 1: telling people off. God ain't never told you to go
- 4:47Speaker 1: down there and show them who the boss is. God
- 4:50Speaker 1: don't tell you to go down there and bust out
- 4:53Speaker 1: no cardwindw God ain't told you to post something wrong
- 4:57Speaker 1: about a person. God ain't never told told you to
- 5:00Speaker 1: seek revenge. God ain't never told you to go down
- 5:03Speaker 1: there and show nobody up, embarrass nobody God's voice has
- 5:09Speaker 1: no sin in it. So when people come up to
- 5:12Speaker 1: you and they talk to you and they say that
- 5:13Speaker 1: God told me to tell you this, you know, it's
- 5:15Speaker 1: always interesting. Because I talk to God every day, I
- 5:18Speaker 1: hardly ever miss a day. So when a person comes
- 5:21Speaker 1: up to me and tell me what God told him,
- 5:23Speaker 1: he didn't even tell me that I would be talking
- 5:26Speaker 1: to you today. And now some people do have messages,
- 5:30Speaker 1: but a lot of them don't, so be conscious of it.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Take some time out for yourself, don't forget to pray, meditate,
- 5:37Speaker 1: spend some time alone, get to know yourself, and remember
- 5:41Speaker 1: something about prayer. Prayer works, So don't forget to pray,
- 5:45Speaker 1: don't be ashamed to pray, and don't ever be too
- 5:48Speaker 1: proud to pray, because prayer, prayer changes things. Okay, those
- 5:53Speaker 1: are my closing remarks today. Hey, look, talk to God today, y'all.
- 5:58Speaker 1: He loved to hear from you. For all Steve Harvey contests,
