Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey, I got some closed remarks today. You know, we
- 0:02Speaker 1: was talking earlier and Junior was asking me the question
- 0:06Speaker 1: of in the opening, Junior said, UK, should you pat
- 0:11Speaker 1: yourself on your back when you accomplish things? Should you celebrate?
- 0:17Speaker 1: I said, well, you know it's two things. First of all,
- 0:21Speaker 1: you should celebrate your wins in life and have small
- 0:27Speaker 1: incremental celebrations all along the way. But in your celebrating,
- 0:33Speaker 1: make sure your celebrating is filled with gratitude. That's the
- 0:39Speaker 1: real way to celebrate. Celebrate by being grateful, by giving
- 0:46Speaker 1: thanks and honor to where that blessing came from. Because
- 0:52Speaker 1: however you think it occurred, you do know it wasn't
- 0:56Speaker 1: just you, because it it was just us. We'd arrange
- 1:02Speaker 1: all good things to happen, wouldn't we.
- 1:06Speaker 2: We'd arrange for it all to happen today.
- 1:09Speaker 1: If it was on us, everything I've ever asked God for,
- 1:14Speaker 1: if it was on me, I would get it immediately
- 1:18Speaker 1: at the latest tomorrow. I'm willing to wait till tomorrow.
- 1:23Speaker 1: But if I'm a prayed about it today, when I
- 1:25Speaker 1: when I wake up, I want it to be Christmas. Yeah,
- 1:30Speaker 1: but that's not how it works. So when you accomplish something. Yeah,
- 1:34Speaker 1: you should celebrate it, but celebrate with gratitude. Junior said,
- 1:39Speaker 1: should you pat yourself on the back. I don't know
- 1:41Speaker 1: if you've ever tried to do that, But try to
- 1:43Speaker 1: pat yourself on the back. Do you Have you noticed
- 1:46Speaker 1: the difficulty in it? That's because your hand don't belong there.
- 1:54Speaker 1: And I think God kind of designed it that way
- 1:56Speaker 1: to be truthful with you. I think He made it
- 1:59Speaker 1: kind of hard for people put their hand on the
- 2:00Speaker 1: back and pat theyself on the back because it kind
- 2:04Speaker 1: of lets you know, reminds you that you didn't get
- 2:06Speaker 1: there on your own, that you had some help along
- 2:10Speaker 1: the way. It might have been some friends. It might
- 2:13Speaker 1: have been a supervisor, It might have been a coworking,
- 2:17Speaker 1: might have been a stranger that you met on the train.
- 2:19Speaker 1: It might be a book that you read. Something flick
- 2:23Speaker 1: click the switch in you and the light bulb came on.
- 2:28Speaker 1: Don't you know? That's how God works. God sends you
- 2:30Speaker 1: what you need, right when you need it, and he
- 2:33Speaker 1: uses a multitude of ways to get it done. Sometimes, God,
- 2:39Speaker 1: have you thumbing through your Bible and your usuals, open
- 2:41Speaker 1: your Bible to the perfect scripture. I've done that I
- 2:44Speaker 1: can't tell you how many times. Sometimes you'll be thumbing
- 2:48Speaker 1: through YouTube and run across a video that's specific just
- 2:52Speaker 1: for you. Sometimes you'll be scrolling on ig and just
- 2:56Speaker 1: one of the motivational things that come up, and just boom,
- 2:59Speaker 1: it hits you right in the face.
- 3:01Speaker 2: God look it out for you.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Whenever I ask God to show me a sign, I say, God,
- 3:07Speaker 1: I'm just I'm waiting, but I need a sign.
- 3:10Speaker 2: He always shows me one.
- 3:12Speaker 1: So to answer the question, should you celebrate your wins
- 3:15Speaker 1: or pat yourself on the back, I say you most
- 3:18Speaker 1: certainly should celebrate your wins. But when you celebrate, make
- 3:22Speaker 1: sure your celebration is loaded with gratitude thanksgiving. As a
- 3:28Speaker 1: matter of fact, when you pray before you as you pray,
- 3:30Speaker 1: your prayer should start with gratitude. I always try to
- 3:35Speaker 1: remember to start my prayer now. Sometimes you know, look,
- 3:37Speaker 1: get a little ahead of myself and just get to
- 3:39Speaker 1: asking you, get to firing off that what I need list.
- 3:44Speaker 1: But the proper way is to give thanks, to let
- 3:48Speaker 1: him know, hey, look, you've done so much for me,
- 3:51Speaker 1: and I'm gonna tell you. Sometimes I get so caught
- 3:54Speaker 1: up in the thanking him part of the prayer that
- 3:57Speaker 1: sometimes I just go, you know what, I'm good, man,
- 4:03Speaker 1: He'd have done so much for me. Man, you know
- 4:04Speaker 1: I'm really good because when you wake up in the morning,
- 4:11Speaker 1: here's another thing for kind of all over the place
- 4:13Speaker 1: a little bit. But you know who, I'm just stay
- 4:15Speaker 1: with me. When you wake up in the morning and
- 4:17Speaker 1: you feel like you've gotten up on the wrong side
- 4:19Speaker 1: of the bed, you know, it always helps me in
- 4:22Speaker 1: the morning when I kind of wake up and I
- 4:24Speaker 1: feel a little unsorted, like I'm feeling like not myself
- 4:28Speaker 1: this morning, the big rhythms is off or whatever, I
- 4:32Speaker 1: just start thanking him. I start thanking him for everything,
- 4:37Speaker 1: for my health, my well being, for my family, for
- 4:40Speaker 1: my girl, for my kids, for being able to I
- 4:45Speaker 1: thank God that he's made me a loaner and not
- 4:48Speaker 1: a borrower. I thank god that he has put all
- 4:52Speaker 1: the weight he has on my shoulders and never put
- 4:57Speaker 1: no more on me than I can bear. Man, I'm
- 5:01Speaker 1: just grateful. I'm grateful for the crown that I wear,
- 5:05Speaker 1: as heavy as it is heavy as the head that
- 5:08Speaker 1: wears a crown.
- 5:10Speaker 2: But I wouldn't want it to be no other way.
- 5:13Speaker 2: That's crazy, man.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Somebody said, hey, Steve, you looking back on your life, man,
- 5:18Speaker 1: Like somebody did a video. Somebody works with me did
- 5:21Speaker 1: a video celebrating my forty forty years in the business.
- 5:25Speaker 1: And I didn't know they had done it. This guy
- 5:27Speaker 1: works for me named Jason and Christale. They put a
- 5:29Speaker 1: video together to celebrate my forty years in the business,
- 5:33Speaker 1: which was October eighth, nineteen eighty five. Was forty years
- 5:37Speaker 1: the night I won fifty dollars. And I was looking
- 5:40Speaker 1: at that video, man, and it teared me up a
- 5:42Speaker 1: little bit when I was watching it, because man, I
- 5:44Speaker 1: had forgotten some of that stuff. But I looked back
- 5:47Speaker 1: on it, man, and whoa. Somebody said, hey, man, would
- 5:52Speaker 1: you do it all again?
- 5:55Speaker 2: Well?
- 5:57Speaker 1: I would have loved to have missed a couple of
- 5:59Speaker 1: those steps that I had to take. I would have
- 6:02Speaker 1: loved to have skipped over a few things. But if
- 6:06Speaker 1: I hadn't did those things, I wouldn't be who I
- 6:08Speaker 1: am today. So I got grateful for all of that. Man,
- 6:13Speaker 1: God is good. Don't forget that, y'all. So when you'd celebrating,
- 6:17Speaker 1: don't forget to show gratitude. Those are my clothes remarks
