Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I got some clothes and remarks for you. I've thought
- 0:03Speaker 1: about this and so in this new year, I want
- 0:09Speaker 1: to remind people because we you know, most of us
- 0:12Speaker 1: are good people, are trying to become better people, are
- 0:15Speaker 1: you know, doing the best we can. So we have
- 0:19Speaker 1: to be considerate of others. But this year, I want
- 0:23Speaker 1: you to be careful in your consideration of others. Don't
- 0:28Speaker 1: ignore yourself. And I'm talking especially to women, because women,
- 0:34Speaker 1: you are you are about the nurturing of so many people.
- 0:40Speaker 1: To true you're the the fixer when it comes to feelings, emotions,
- 0:46Speaker 1: and you make sure everybody's okay, and sometimes you ignore yourself.
- 0:52Speaker 2: I want you to beware of that.
- 0:53Speaker 1: But I'm talking to men too, because I do so
- 0:57Speaker 1: much for other people, but sometimes I forget to take
- 1:00Speaker 1: our time for myself. So this is for everybody, but
- 1:04Speaker 1: I'm especially talking to women. Be very, very aware in
- 1:10Speaker 1: this upcoming year of people who lay the most useless
- 1:16Speaker 1: emotion of them all on you, which is guilt. If
- 1:20Speaker 1: you think about the emotion of guilt, it's the most
- 1:22Speaker 1: useless emotion that we have because it only serves one person,
- 1:28Speaker 1: and that's the person applying the guilt, who's using it
- 1:33Speaker 1: as a form of manipulation. Oh so you don't forgot
- 1:38Speaker 1: where you come from. I remember when you used to
- 1:42Speaker 1: help me. You know, I know you got it.
- 1:46Speaker 2: Man.
- 1:46Speaker 1: You sit over there, man, God and bless you with everything,
- 1:49Speaker 1: and you just don't you don't remember us. Man, Man,
- 1:53Speaker 1: stop stop. You really are not my obligation.
- 1:58Speaker 2: You're really not. You're really really not. You know.
- 2:04Speaker 1: A funny thing happened recently. I had to release somebody,
- 2:09Speaker 1: and the conversation I had I had to release them.
- 2:11Speaker 1: It was a very fair I had given this person
- 2:14Speaker 1: ample opportunity and many chances, but in releasing the person,
- 2:18Speaker 1: I still gave them a wonderful out. But you know
- 2:21Speaker 1: what the person told me. What am I going to
- 2:24Speaker 1: do now? He said, mister Harvey, you don't understand what
- 2:28Speaker 1: it's like. And I'm just looking at him and I'm
- 2:33Speaker 1: trying to figure out what it is that's happening in
- 2:35Speaker 1: your life that you think I have no awareness of
- 2:39Speaker 1: a new experience in And he said to me, even
- 2:43Speaker 1: with this severance package you're giving me and the ability
- 2:46Speaker 1: to work in other areas of your company, I would
- 2:50Speaker 1: not have signed my new lease had I known this.
- 2:54Speaker 2: I said, wait a minute. Man, Hold, I don't know
- 2:57Speaker 2: when your lease is up.
- 2:59Speaker 1: I don't know when, Lisa, But you still have work,
- 3:02Speaker 1: you still have opportunities, you still have jobs. And so
- 3:05Speaker 1: he just continued to try to make me feel guilty
- 3:09Speaker 1: about a decision I had made when clearly you were
- 3:12Speaker 1: no longer servicing your end of the bargain the way
- 3:15Speaker 1: you could. But now, all of a sudden, what am
- 3:17Speaker 1: I gonna do? Well? I got to think it too.
- 3:20Speaker 1: What do I do when they cancel my TV shows?
- 3:23Speaker 2: Now? Nobody give me no notice.
- 3:25Speaker 1: I just come to work one day and they tell
- 3:27Speaker 1: me show gone.
- 3:30Speaker 2: I got to deal with it.
- 3:32Speaker 1: I came to work one day and they told me
- 3:35Speaker 1: Little Big Shots is gone and your talk show gone,
- 3:39Speaker 1: and just walked away out of my face, no warning,
- 3:41Speaker 1: no nothing. I remember in two thousand and five, Shirley
- 3:45Speaker 1: and Tommy was with me when they told me I
- 3:48Speaker 1: lost my TV show and then my radio show in
- 3:52Speaker 1: the same month. I had no entertainment contracts at all,
- 3:56Speaker 1: and they just told me it's a rap.
- 3:59Speaker 2: So what am I going? I don't know.
- 4:03Speaker 1: I don't know what you're gonna do, but you better
- 4:04Speaker 1: go to work and fix it. And I still gave
- 4:07Speaker 1: him out, but they were trying to make me feel guilty.
- 4:09Speaker 1: No more, no, no, no, no, that's not how this
- 4:11Speaker 1: works anymore. Listen, be considerate of others, others, but don't
- 4:16Speaker 1: ignore yourself.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Remember what you do. See I tell people all the time,
- 4:21Speaker 2: if you didn't have my number, what would you do?
- 4:24Speaker 2: Well get to doing that then.
- 4:26Speaker 1: See, you ain't got to feel guilty because somebody got
- 4:29Speaker 1: access to you. Having access to you don't mean they
- 4:32Speaker 1: should have total access to you. Just because you know
- 4:36Speaker 1: my number. Don't give you an end with me. In
- 4:39Speaker 1: every aspect of your life. You are not responsible for
- 4:42Speaker 1: the life of other people. Because when you get in trouble,
- 4:46Speaker 1: when you and your husband or your family get in
- 4:48Speaker 1: the situation, who you got to call Probably nobody. So
- 4:53Speaker 1: stop being the one that's always made to feel like
- 4:57Speaker 1: you owe them, you owe somebody, cause you don't. You
- 5:02Speaker 1: don't people. Take some time out for yourself in twenty
- 5:06Speaker 1: twenty five. Get yourself a hobby that you enjoy doing.
- 5:10Speaker 1: You want to go down there and take a spin class.
- 5:12Speaker 1: You want to go down there and take yoga. You
- 5:14Speaker 1: want to go down there and do breath work, Go
- 5:15Speaker 1: down there and do it. You want to go sit
- 5:18Speaker 1: in therapy. Go down there and do it. You want
- 5:21Speaker 1: to set up a tea with your girlfriends every Wednesday evening,
- 5:24Speaker 1: go do it. You want to have a card night
- 5:28Speaker 1: on Saturdays, go do it. Man, Go enjoy your life
- 5:32Speaker 1: and stop allowing people to make you feel as though
- 5:36Speaker 1: you owe them when clearly they have made a conscious
- 5:40Speaker 1: decision not to owe you anything. You ever gave somebody
- 5:44Speaker 1: some money and they ain't give it back and then
- 5:46Speaker 1: they come back for some more that ever happened to you?
- 5:48Speaker 1: I bet it has gave them some money, they didn't
- 5:52Speaker 1: pay it back and came back for some more.
