Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time for some closing remarks from the wonderful, the one
and only, our fearless leader, Steve Harvey. What you got, Steve?

Speaker 2 (00:07):
You know, I was just thinking about encouragement and the
things that have happened in my life to greatly encourage me.
And kind of, like I said, this morning, you know,
I kind of woke up this morning. I just wasn't
myself this morning. I wasn't my usual and I found

(00:31):
myself thinking, you know, some thoughts that I shouldn't have
allowed to get into my head. But I quickly reversed that.
And I'm gonna tell you something that I do because
I was taught a long time ago that your feelings
are a barometer of your thoughts. Your feelings are a

(00:52):
barometer of your thoughts. And what that simply means is
what your feeling is actually like just a thermometer of
what you've been thinking over the past twenty thirty minutes.
If you think, if you catch yourself feeling out of
sorts or getting to a little funk, or feeling a

(01:12):
little depressed, all you have to do is trace back
what you've been thinking for the past fifteen to thirty minutes.
Because all your feelings are are simply a barometer or
however you want to look at it. You might want
to say a thermometer, so you can say it tells
the temperature of what you've been thinking. And so I

(01:34):
had to go back and do that, and I realized
the reason I kind of woke up on the wrong
side of the bed was because I was laying at
thinking some negative thoughts. I was thinking about all the
stuff I had to do, all the stuff I needed
to accomplish, and then I was realizing that there was

(01:55):
no way I was gonna get it all done today,
no matter how hard I try. And as I was
sitting there man beating myself up for knowing all that
I had to do and knowing I didn't have enough
time in the day to get it done, I started
feeling sort of out of sorts and like, man, this
is I want this to move blah blah blah blah blah. Well,

(02:17):
I had to catch myself because I had to be
reminded of the Lord's prayer, the line that says, give
us this day our daily bread, which God has mentally
equipped us to handle today. God didn't set our brain
up to handle tomorrow. To worry about it anyway. You
can think about it and aspire about it and dream

(02:38):
about it, but you're surely not to worry about it
because there's nothing you can do about it. But I
was sitting about worrying about today and all I had
to do, and how I was gonna fit it any day,
and knowing I couldn't, and how I was gonna affect
my tomorrow. Bad mistake, Steve Harvey, and you know better.
And so I'm trying to help you all understand that
when you get into that funk like that, know better,

(03:00):
like I had to know better. God has equipped us
to handle today. Give us this day our daily bread.
He don't want you tripping on what that already happened
in the past. You can't go back, you don't get
do overs, And ain't no need to worry about the
future because you have no control over it. So I
had to get focused and I had to think about, Wow,

(03:21):
all I need is today. I need enough to make
it today. And so as I was sitting there shaving,
I was sitting a bit thinking. I said, Wow, I'm up,
I have a measure of health. I'm shaving. I'm actually okay,
I'm order some room service. I'm okay. I get to

(03:42):
go to work today. That's a blessing. Not I gotta
go to work. I get to go to work today,
because that's a blessing. It's a blessing to have that opportunity.
It's people looking for a job today wishing they would
work anywhere, and I just need to get a check
coming in here. I actually get to go to work,
to a job I enjoy. Steve Harvey, are you kidding me?

(04:08):
You got the nerve to wake up on the wrong
side of the bed because you was worrying about what
you might not accomplish. Have you taken a moment, sir,
to just realize what you have? That my children are healthy,
that they all still with me, that I got loving family. Oh,

(04:32):
they had their dysfunctional moments. Oh you can believe that
by at the end of the day. I bet they
love each other. Hey man, you have options. Hey man,
You're able to walk, to see, to talk, to think,
to rhyme to reason. It's just so many little things.

(04:53):
I'm looking out the window right now and I'm realizing
the sun is a and I'm free. Why I can
go out there and enjoy it? Man, get out of here.
You don't have the right, sir, to wake up on
the wrong side of the bed when the joy and
the gratitude ought to be that you woke up on

(05:15):
the bed. How about that? Cause don't you remember, Steve Harvey,
when you didn't have no bed partner? Now you're worried
about getting up on the wrong side, how about them
three years when you ain't had no bed? What about that?
Are you kidding me? Man? So you're gonna lay up
here stuck on stupid because you're on the wrong side
of the bed. You frustrated you ain't got enough time

(05:37):
in the day. But did you ever really think about
why you don't have enough time in the day because
you got stuff to do. You know why you got
stuff to do because God created you to be busy.
You know why he created you to be busy so
you can have the life you ask for. You can't
complain about what's all on your plate when your whole
gold was to eat. Sitting up in here tripping about

(06:00):
how much is on my plate when my whole goal
was to eat. Now he got plenty on the plate
and you tripping about that? Are you stupid? Steve Harvey?
I don't think so. So I pulled my big nip
wide nose self together and focused and got grateful and

(06:21):
got my day started. And now as I say goodbye
to y'all this morning, I get to go to work
and do it all over again. Letterture saymen, Amen, Amen again,
Amen again, Holler at your boy.
