Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: All right, guys, here we are last break of the
- 0:02Speaker 1: day on this Wednesday hump day. It's been a good day.
- 0:06Speaker 1: Huh yeah, fun, Oh yeah.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Here's here's my clothing remarks. You know, this morning I
- 0:17Speaker 2: was talking about I've kind of been in a little
- 0:21Speaker 2: bit of a bad place mentally, and it was been
- 0:25Speaker 2: It took me a minute to come out of it.
- 0:27Speaker 2: But you know, I'm human, right, so you know, things happen.
- 0:30Speaker 2: You knows, as motivational as I try to be, I
- 0:34Speaker 2: find myself requiring motivation too, because sometimes I get as
- 0:41Speaker 2: a human being, I get caught up in something negative
- 0:45Speaker 2: that's going on, or a situation that's going on, and
- 0:48Speaker 2: I harp too long on the negativity, which only makes
- 0:51Speaker 2: it bigger. And so I was saying this morning, and
- 0:55Speaker 2: what I'm saying in my clothing remarks is it happens
- 0:58Speaker 2: to all of us where we run into a situation
- 1:01Speaker 2: that seems a big daunting and we start focusing on
- 1:05Speaker 2: the situation, and the big situation becomes bigger and bigger
- 1:08Speaker 2: and bigger. And what I've discovered is, and what I
- 1:12Speaker 2: already know is, but I had to remind myself again yesterday,
- 1:17Speaker 2: is that when you are faced with a lot of
- 1:19Speaker 2: negativity and it seems to be overwhelming, and it's a
- 1:22Speaker 2: bit overbearing for you at the time. What you have
- 1:26Speaker 2: to do is you have to replace those thoughts. You
- 1:28Speaker 2: have to replace the negative with a positive. Now is
- 1:30Speaker 2: that easy to do?
- 1:31Speaker 1: Of course not.
- 1:33Speaker 2: But it's how it works, and it does not work
- 1:36Speaker 2: any other way. But you cannot fix a negative situation
- 1:41Speaker 2: with more negativity. You cannot come out of darkness unless
- 1:46Speaker 2: you provide light. You know, if you're in a bad mood,
- 1:51Speaker 2: a dark place in your mind, do you know I was?
- 1:54Speaker 2: This is an example I used. If you're in a
- 1:56Speaker 2: cave or called pitch black room. Say you in a
- 2:00Speaker 2: pitch black room. All the lights is out, there's no electricity,
- 2:05Speaker 2: lights have been cut off. You're in a dark place.
- 2:07Speaker 2: You got blinders on, and all of a sudden, you
- 2:10Speaker 2: find yourself in a black room. If you find any
- 2:14Speaker 2: form of light, that light becomes the focal point.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Any I don't care.
- 2:20Speaker 2: If you got a birthday candle, If you hold up
- 2:24Speaker 2: a birthday candle in a completely dark room, that birthday
- 2:29Speaker 2: candle becomes the light. If you can find a flashlight,
- 2:34Speaker 2: a pin flashlight, that becomes the focal point in the room.
- 2:39Speaker 2: If you can turn on the gas stove and it
- 2:42Speaker 2: produces a little bit of light from the flicker of
- 2:44Speaker 2: the flame, that becomes the focal point. What I'm saying
- 2:48Speaker 2: to you is, when you find yourself in a dark place,
- 2:52Speaker 2: get yourself some light, and that becomes the focal point.
- 2:56Speaker 2: You cannot get rid of a negative situation with more negativity.
- 3:01Speaker 2: You can't come out of darkness without light. You can't
- 3:04Speaker 2: replace a negative situation unless you introduce a positive.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Now is that hard to do as human beings? Yet? Yeah, Steve,
- 3:13Speaker 1: But it just kept happening.
- 3:15Speaker 2: I got it, But it kept happening because you did
- 3:19Speaker 2: not use the tools available to you. The Bible says,
- 3:24Speaker 2: a man is as he thinketh, y'all, your mental capacity
- 3:34Speaker 2: is really, really incredible.
- 3:38Speaker 1: And why is that?
- 3:39Speaker 2: Because we were made in the image of God, and
- 3:43Speaker 2: God showed us in the beginning how he really is.
- 3:48Speaker 1: You know, if you read your Bible.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Somewhere in the Bible it says, and you know, I'm
- 3:51Speaker 2: not an expert at this, right, but I'm just using
- 3:53Speaker 2: these examples as I see.
- 3:55Speaker 1: It in the Bible.
- 3:58Speaker 2: When God created he in earth in the beginning, he said,
- 4:03Speaker 2: let there be light. Now, that's very telling because he said,
- 4:09Speaker 2: let there be light. He didn't just wave his hand
- 4:12Speaker 2: and it lit up. He said, let there be light,
- 4:19Speaker 2: and then there was light, but it became light after
- 4:24Speaker 2: he said it. And if we're created in the image
- 4:28Speaker 2: of God, he's showing us through demonstration, let there be light.
- 4:33Speaker 2: When the crippled man found him, he said, stand up
- 4:37Speaker 2: and walk. And the crippled man stood up and walked.
- 4:43Speaker 2: He said. He told Moses tick to stick that staff
- 4:49Speaker 2: over and part the red sea. He told him what
- 4:51Speaker 2: to do. He didn't hope he figured it out. He
- 4:58Speaker 2: said it. Look, y'all, if we're created in the image
- 5:02Speaker 2: of God, what we say is important. It really is important.
- 5:07Speaker 2: Stop beating yourself up with negativity. Change the way you think,
- 5:13Speaker 2: change what you say, watch the words that come out
- 5:15Speaker 2: your mouth. It's critical, man, it's absolutely critical. If you
- 5:22Speaker 2: look at a person, and all of us know people
- 5:26Speaker 2: who are not in a good space and haven't been
- 5:28Speaker 2: in a good space for a number of years. All
- 5:30Speaker 2: of us know people like that. But if you really
- 5:34Speaker 2: look at them and you look how they think and
- 5:37Speaker 2: how they talk, don't explain at all you ever met
- 5:42Speaker 2: a person that ain't ever happy they always something, always wrong.
- 5:47Speaker 2: You hate to see them coming. When you listen to them,
- 5:50Speaker 2: don't it explain why they are what they are. You've
- 5:54Speaker 2: ever seen a person ain't ain't ever in a relationship.
- 5:59Speaker 2: Have you ever listened in the way they talk. Don't
- 6:01Speaker 2: they explain if you listen carefully, why they are the
- 6:05Speaker 2: way they are. Be careful, y'all, Watch what comes out
- 6:10Speaker 2: your mouth. Concentrate on what comes out your mouth. Focus
- 6:14Speaker 2: on the words you speak, because what you speak will
- 6:17Speaker 2: be what you are. You are the greatest remote control
- 6:21Speaker 2: in the world. Whatever you press select, that's what appears
- 6:24Speaker 2: on your screen in front of you. Put that in
- 6:28Speaker 2: your thought process this year. Have a great twenty twenty five.
- 6:32Speaker 2: That's Steve Harvey. Morning Shore, y'all have a good one.
- 6:34Speaker 2: Talk to God today. Y'all need absolutely love to hear
