- 2:26Speaker 1: be the grinch that stole Valentine's Day. You mad because
- 2:29Speaker 1: at some point in your life you fell in love
- 2:31Speaker 1: with somebody and then found out they pronounced Valentine's Valentine's.
- 2:36Speaker 2: And now you mad. Okay, now you mad, all right?
- 2:40Speaker 2: You mad at everybody who got a bull.

- 2:58Speaker 2: To hear, but it's going to change your life.
- 3:01Speaker 1: God told me to tell you that the reason you
- 3:04Speaker 1: don't have a Valentine, the reason you don't have a
- 3:06Speaker 1: significant of a husband or wife or life partner, whatever
- 3:09Speaker 1: you want to call it, the reason you don't have
- 3:10Speaker 1: any of those things.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Is simply because you're a terrible toxic person.
- 3:14Speaker 1: Okay, all right, It is Valentine for you to acknowledge
- 3:19Speaker 1: that there is a problem, and the problem is you, Okay.
- 3:22Speaker 1: As is the case with most problems, the first step
- 3:24Speaker 1: is acknowledging that your behavior is harmful.
- 3:27Speaker 2: The people. See, we're so accustomed.
- 3:29Speaker 1: To directing our attention outward that it's hard to go inward.
- 3:33Speaker 2: And admit we the problem.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Okay, men, women, They folks got all these reasons why
- 3:39Speaker 1: they're single, all right. Not finding the right person, chasing
- 3:42Speaker 1: the wrong person, choosing the wrong partners. Have you ever
- 3:45Speaker 1: stopped to think that you're not the right person, that
- 3:48Speaker 1: you are the wrong partner?
- 3:49Speaker 2: Huh?
- 3:49Speaker 1: You the wrong partner somebody chose. See, so many of
- 3:52Speaker 1: us have done zero work on ourselves. We're not going
- 3:55Speaker 1: to no therapy. We haven't even thought about going on
- 3:58Speaker 1: a journey of healing. We have all this unhealed trauma,
- 4:00Speaker 1: all this baggage, and God is protecting people from you.
- 4:07Speaker 2: Oh, they don't want to hear this this morning. Okay.
- 4:08Speaker 1: They don't want to hear what I'm telling them on
- 4:11Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. Okay, your relationships don't work because you haven't.
- 4:15Speaker 1: It is time to identify your toxic traits. And once
- 4:18Speaker 1: you identify your toxic traits, it is important to take
- 4:21Speaker 1: responsibility for your actions and.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Make a commitment to change.
- 4:24Speaker 1: It's that unhealed trauma that you haven't dealt with that
- 4:27Speaker 1: got you absolutely refusing to go on.
- 4:29Speaker 2: A first date.
- 4:30Speaker 1: The cheesecake factory, applebeasts, olive garden, the movies, coffee dates,
- 4:35Speaker 1: ice cream dates, a bar just for drinks. You remember
- 4:37Speaker 1: that stupid ass list when they surveyed every single hurt
- 4:40Speaker 1: human in America and they didn't want to go anywhere
- 4:43Speaker 1: on a first date. You know why that was because
- 4:46Speaker 1: those people aren't happy with themselves. One of the main
- 4:49Speaker 1: symptoms of unresolved trauma is lack of trust and difficulty
- 4:52Speaker 1: opening up to other people.
- 4:54Speaker 2: The reason you don't want to go anywhere.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Is because it scares you to death to have to
- 4:57Speaker 1: sit with somebody and have a conversation.
- 5:00Speaker 2: You're afraid you're gonna get found out.
- 5:02Speaker 1: You are afraid you're gonna have to look someone in
- 5:04Speaker 1: the eyes, and when they look you in the eyes,
- 5:06Speaker 1: they gonna see something you don't want them to see.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Don't try to act, you know, like.
- 5:10Speaker 1: Buffalo Wild Wings, Red Lobster, waffle House and sporting events
- 5:13Speaker 1: did something to you.
- 5:14Speaker 2: No, no, no, this is on you.
- 5:17Speaker 1: This is why they say your trauma may not be
- 5:19Speaker 1: your fault, but healing your trauma is absolutely your responsibility
- 5:22Speaker 1: because in life, we attract what we are, and if
- 5:24Speaker 1: you're not about nothing, you're not gonna attract nothing. Now,
- 5:28Speaker 1: let's not focus on just the trauma of it all,
- 5:30Speaker 1: right now, let's just focus on the fact you might
- 5:32Speaker 1: just be.
- 5:32Speaker 2: A horrible person.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know why you horrible. Some of y'all
- 5:36Speaker 1: just not good people. Some of y'all just have piss
- 5:38Speaker 1: poor character. And a strong indicator of piss poor character
- 5:42Speaker 1: is how someone behaves when they are shown to be
- 5:44Speaker 1: wrong about something. Folks who always deflect or blame others
- 5:47Speaker 1: or change the subject or lass out. That's just a display, Okay,
- 5:51Speaker 1: that's just a display of an absence of a personal responsibility,
- 5:55Speaker 1: which is definitely a sign of being less than a
- 5:57Speaker 1: good person. So when you talk to yourself about being
- 5:59Speaker 1: a on Valentine's Day, don't go blaming other people. Okay,
- 6:03Speaker 1: stop acting like there's no good partners out there, because
- 6:05Speaker 1: if you see the world that way.
- 6:07Speaker 2: I promise it's you.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Some of y'all too self senate, okay, And there's nothing
- 6:12Speaker 1: wrong with putting your needs for self care. Putting yourself
- 6:14Speaker 1: first is crucial because you can't help nobody if you're
- 6:17Speaker 1: need to help yourself. But if you're always thinking about
- 6:19Speaker 1: yourself and your own needs and you never consider the
- 6:22Speaker 1: feelings of other people, then you might.
- 6:23Speaker 2: Have some issues you need to address. If you neglect
- 6:25Speaker 2: the needs of the people you are closest to.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Such as your children and other family members and friends,
- 6:31Speaker 1: then why or why would you get blessed with a Valentine?
- 6:34Speaker 2: Are a Valentine? Okay?
- 6:36Speaker 1: Donkey of today today is you. It's your fault. You
- 6:39Speaker 1: the reason this is happening to you. Terrible men get
