Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
For bodily exercise profiteth little, but godliness is profitable unto
all things, having promise of the life that now is
and of that which is to come. One Timothy, Chapter four,
verse eight. Dear Lord, thank you for granting me this
glorious life. I feel so blessed to be alive at

(00:23):
this moment. Please help the Holy Spirit to move within
me so that my thoughts and deeds may be aligned
with you. My deepest desire is to live a more
godly life so that everyone may know your love, grace
and forgiveness. Thank you Lord in Jesus' name. Amen.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
I actually was ended up being put in this group
and we traveled all over performing and I thought this
was so cool. I thought I was just so important.
It was all about me. And then as I got older,

(01:08):
I realized that, well, it's not really about me, and
it's really about the team. And so I felt better
about myself that it wasn't all about me and it
was about the team because I felt like I was
connected to something, something other than myself. And then as

(01:29):
I got older, then it really, you know, came out
that it wasn't it's about the team, It's about me.
It's all about that, but it's about really helping the team.
It's about when somebody is kind of struggling with something,
you know, something that we're doing and they're not catching

(01:52):
on as fast or whatever, that you helped that person.
And I thought I couldn't leave the joy that I
felt when I helped someone that was struggling, and that
was my introduction to helping others and giving. And I

(02:14):
do want to bring in you know, God tells us
this is what we need to do. But I can
share with you right now. At that age, I wasn't
ready for all of that. I didn't put it all together.
And because I wasn't able to put it together, I
found myself that even though I was doing some of
this was it wasn't enough. And I had regrets. I had,

(02:36):
you know, different things in my life where I could
have helped my sister or my family or whatever, and
yet I didn't make that choice. And I can remember
years later kind of looking back and saying, ooh, misstep,

(02:57):
opportunity that was lost. I think that where legacy is
concerned is that the legacy is what we're doing every day,
because at the end of it, it's the story of
our lives. It's the things that we either embraced and
encountered and made the right choice to help or not choice,

(03:23):
or walk away from it or whatever, because legacy is
really and the thing of it is is that this
is going to be your destiny.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
In this episode of Relentless Hope, shave On, lifestyle pioneer
and co founder and CEO of WBTVN, the women's broadcast
television network, teaches us that legacy is to find ourselves
with God and living a life that he wants us
to live. Every day. She inspires us to focus on
how we're living each day because in the end, that

(04:00):
becomes the story of our lives. What we do, how
we act, who we are, what we say, how we
help others. It's what we embrace and encounter every day
and whether we made the right choices to help or
to walk away, that creates our legacies. We hear how
Shay has found that the more she does which is godly,

(04:20):
the more she creates a legacy that she feels happy
and joyful about. And she invites us to take the
time to see someone in the hospital, to make a
phone call, and to show up for people. Don't walk
away as Shay says, when we praise and serve other people,
that's exactly what God is asking us to do. It's
not about sitting back and saying someone's wrong or giving judgment.

(04:44):
There's already so much darkness in our lives we don't
need to create more. She teaches us that everything we
do gives us a choice. We can choose to praise
the Lord. We can choose to feel joyful, happy, helpful,
and balanced. We can choose to turn around when we've
walked away from s someone or something. We also learn
that there's always room for us to improve, and Shay

(05:05):
explains that we can learn a lot about how we
impact people by watching their reactions and how they treat
us back, and she encourages us to pray, asking God's
help in making changes that will make us better. Shay
also teaches us about regrets and what to do when
we have them. As Shay explains, she regrets some missed

(05:25):
opportunities earlier in her life to help her sister and
her family, But as we learn, it's also never too
late to apologize and make amends for what we've done
or not done, said or not said. As Shay shares,
we can't control or know how someone will respond when
we apologize. They may not open their arms to us,

(05:46):
and this is okay. It's not about how the other
person will react. It's about taking responsibility and apologizing because
we know it's the right thing to do. It's the
godly thing to do. Famous person quote take away the day.
When I wake up every morning, I thank God for
the new day. F Cionel Jose all Right, thank you
