  Speaker 1: Because I want to share with people the difference between
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: fun and joy. Okay, because there is a difference. And
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I had to learn this, oh me too, So here
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: we go. You know, as I was growing up, just
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: like most of us, we had a daily quest when
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: we were young. As children, we only had one mission
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: in life. After school. We wanted to go play on
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Saturdays and Sundays, I want to go play. I could
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: not wait to go outside. I wanted to go out
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: in the snow. That I wanted to play because it
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: was fun. Now, what I didn't know was there should
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: be a cutoff point for having fun in your life.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: But oh no, not me. I took it too far.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I took fun to college. Now I know everybody that
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: went to college, whoa, we had a blast. I had
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: too much of a blast. And then after college kept
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: on trying to have fun. There's a cutoff point to fun.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: And the thing I learned about it was, see fun,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: you have to go do something, or go somewhere or
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: be around a certain people in order to have it.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: To go have fun, you have to manufacture it. You
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: have to buy a ticket, you have to be at
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: a certain place, you have to drink a certain amount.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: You gotta be around the people that are smoking this.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Now you can have fun if you make it to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: this party right here, we gonna have so much fun.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: And you keep looking for fun, But if you think
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: about fun, man, it's always manufactured. It's something you gotta
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: be doing, seen doing. You gotta be somewhere or thought
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: of somewhere. It's always the case in having fun and
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: fun is always short lived. You know. Fun never lasts
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a long time. You never hear anybody say, well, I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: just had fun, fun, fun, fun, fun for fun don't
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: last a long time. It's a very fleeting thing. And
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I was teaching my sons about fun one day because
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: we were in Vegas and they were going out and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I told him, I said, be careful out there, man,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I'm going to the room. Dad, y'all come on, man,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have some fun. I said, listen to me.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: We've had a full night, went to see the fight,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: everything was good, and now you're gonna go out here, man,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna just tell you right now, it's dangerous out there.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Be careful, Oh dad, we're gonna have some fun. I've
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: discovered something about fun. If you stay, if you keep
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: having fun, there's a time limit to fun. If you
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: stay at the club till it closed, it ain't finna
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: be fun no more. If you drinking and you fell
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a buzz, but you keep on drinking, it ain't finn
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to be fun no more. If you at a sporting
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: event and everybody going out the parking lot, but you
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: y'all still try to have fun. State is not finna
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: be fun no more. Because fun I discovered. I taught
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: my children that night. Fun is an acronym. F you
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: in is an acronym, and I taught it to him.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I said, son, if you keep having fun too long,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: it's effed up now. That's what fun stands for. Too
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: much fun and it's effed up now. Boy. They laughed,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: They laughed. They went out that night in Vegas. The
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: next morning I saw them. They looked dishovel. They're in
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: bad shape. Say what happened? Man Dad? At the club?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Man dude got shot and killed. Then the police surround
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the building. We stayed in there. Man, we ain't get
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: home in five thirty. You know why because they was
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: having fun and too much fun. It got fed up.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Now fu in it's efed up now, and that's what
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: fun is. They said, Dad, what about you? I said,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I like to have joy and said, what's the difference
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: between joy and fun? I said, joy is a feeling
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: that I have on the inside that resides in me
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: most of the time, and when I'm with myself, within
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: myself or by myself. I found that I have a
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: residing peace in me that gives me a certain joy
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that I enjoy being alone. I just enjoy just being
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: with my girl. That's joy to me. That I can
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: sit up and watch my grandchildren play, That I can
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: take my family on vacation and watch them enjoy theyself.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: That puts a joy in me. That joy that I
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: have is not manufactured or superficial. The joy that I have,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: that residing peace is because I have a relationship with God.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: God has given me the peace that I have in
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: my life today. I wish I had discovered this years ago.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I could have saved myself a world of trouble, but
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I didn't because I was like a lot of people.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I was pursuing fun, trying to have it as many
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: times as I could, going to have fun. If I
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: could have understood about this residing peace, that it's okay
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: to be with me, that I don't need a bunch
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: of outside stimulation to feel good anymore. That I can
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: sit back, close my eyes and be grateful and find joy.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: That I can sit up and just watch TV and
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: be in perfect peace and joy. That I can walk
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: around and ride my bike or walk down to the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: river and just have joy. I could put my headsets
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: on and listen to some music and just have joy.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Joy to me, is better than having fun. That's the difference, though,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: between fun and joy. One is manufactured and one is
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: provided with an everlasting peace and relationship with God. If
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I wish you, I'd look for some of that joy
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you feel me. Those are my closing remarks today. I
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: hope you got something out of it. If not, don't worry.
