  Speaker 1: Last break of the day, Steve bless Us with your
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: closing remarks, bless Us enlightening. Yeah, that's heavy, bless Us,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: it's really heavy. Yeah. I know what I think of
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: that that that puts me in motivated space.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: So I think of what I'm gonna do is talk
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: to you about something that can help really move your
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: life forward.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Oftentimes, you know, man, we get stumped because we get
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: we find ourselves in a dark place much longer than
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: we want to be there. And some of these dark
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: places that we find ourselves here is because we don't
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: have the right.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Attitude to get out.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you something that can help you
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: move your life forward that could possibly be holding you
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: back without you even realizing it. Is the act of forgiveness,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Just the simple act of forgiveness.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: You know. I have Bishop Jakes on my show one time.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, we were talking about how forgiveness slows people
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: up because when you don't forgive.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: You have to harbor all of these feelings.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: When you don't forgive, you have to harbor the memory
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: of something. When you don't forgive, you harbor all of
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: the ways it made you feel, which keeps you in
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: a low state. Instead of getting to the mountaintop, you
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: stay in this valley the whole time, and.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: It's a tough place to be.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: You can rid yourself of that low place in life
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: with the act of forgiveness. A lot of us can't
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: move forward because we're allowing something somebody did to us
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: hold us back. You know, I just can't get passed
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: away he treated I just can't get passed away.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: My father left me.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I cannot get past the way that my mama was.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I just cannot get.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Past the way of how my friends treated me. I
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: thought this was my best friend. I cannot believe how
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: they did me. Man, that's unthinkable. I just can't get
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: past it. Well, if you say you won't get past it,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I got news for you.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: You're not. And if you don't get past it, you
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: can't move forward.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: See Bishop Jakes taught me this forgiveness is not for
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: the other person. Forgiveness is actually for you. See you
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: do a person like I tell you what, every time
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: they see me, I bet I ain't gonna forgive them. No,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: what actually happens is every time you see them, you
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: relive the moment. Every time you see them, you drum
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: up those old feelings. Every time you see them, you
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: throw yourself into something.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: The person that you're not forgiving.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Usually don't even know that you haven't forgiven them, and
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: they have moved on with they life. They skipping, but
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: because you have never forgave them or never brought it
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: to their attention. So you think that it'll create closure
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: for you. It won't. It won't. The fact that you
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: won't forgive a person does nothing to them, but it
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: does so much damage to you.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: It's like a cancer in.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Your body that festers and grows and over the years
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: if you don't forgive enough, If you don't forgive a person,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: it stays with you and it causes so many ill
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: feelings in you. And next thing you know, you can't
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: move on with the next relationship because you still living
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: in the other relationship. You can't move on to the
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: next business deal because you so wiped out how they
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: did you in that last business deal. You can't find
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: yourself progressing with your friends, your new friends, because you
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: can't move past what your old friend did to you.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: How many times, if you really think about it, has
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the act of non forgiving held you back? Probably more
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: times than you think. I did it to myself. It
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: was a guy man that ran a club for me
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: in Dallas. Well, he took some money from me, and
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: at the time it was thirty three thousand dollars. Now
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: back then, man, that was all I had. I came
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: from a gig and the money in account. They said,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: well it's gone, mister Harby. You have some people signing,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: and they removed the money. I said, okay, maybe I
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: had to do some winning.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I called him.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: He went to answer the phone. I went by his
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: office and his office was cleared out, and I went
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: and I came from a comedy gig. I came back
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: to my club and all of a sudden it was gone.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: And man, that was it, I said, hold up, just
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: to I looked for him everywhere. Every time I heard man,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I had people looking for him. Hey man, he up
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: here getting the haircut. I get in my car forty
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: minutes away, drive to the barbershop. Or he left. Man,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I go to a club. Hey man, your boy just
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: run out the back door. I run out the back door.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I see his tail lights pulling through the gate. I
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: looked for him for years, and for years and for years, man,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I looked for this dude man for seven years, and
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: then something happened. My mama passed, and he sent the
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: biggest flower arrangement to my mama's funeral because my mama
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: taught him Sunday school. And I was sitting there and
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I read the car and it was from him. But
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: at that moment I didn't have time to hate him,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: because my mama was gone. And at that moment, I
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: realized what was really important to me, and he was
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: so unimportant to me at that time, and so at
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: that day I forgave him that day. Now, since then,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: had he stayed my manager, he would be making right
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: now ten percent of everything I've earned. You do you
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: have any idea what that check would be. But for
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: thirty three thousand and I just forgave it. I was
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: able to move on with my life. If I had
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: allowed that to hold me, then I could be stuck
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: right back at that thirty three. But because I was
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: willing to let it go, God has opened up the
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: windows of heaven and poured out of blessings. I ain't
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: even got rich. His blessings chased me down. I am
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: telling you, you've got to let it go. Talk to
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: God today. Love yourself.
