Speaker 1 (00:00):
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
(00:24):
myself thinking, you know, some thoughts that I shouldn't have
allowed to get into my head.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
But I quickly reversed that. And I'm gonna tell you
something that I.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Do because I was taught a long time ago that
your feelings are a barometer of your thoughts. Your feelings
are a 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
(00:57):
thirty minutes.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
If you think, if you catch.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yourself feeling out of sorts or getting to a little funk,
or feeling a 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.
(01:21):
You might want to say a thermometer, so you can
say it tells the temperature of what you've been thinking.
And so I 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.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Was laying at thinking some negative thoughts.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
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 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 had to do and
(02:01):
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, 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
(02:22):
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 about it, but you're
surely not to worry about it.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Because there's nothing you can do about it. But I
was sitting.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
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, like I
had to know better. God has equipped us to handle today.
Give us this day our daily bread. You don't want
(03:00):
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, all I
need is today. I need enough to make it today.
(03:22):
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
go to work today. That's a blessing. Not I gotta
go to work. I get to go to work today,
(03:42):
because that's a blessing.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It's a blessing to have that opportunity.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
It's people looking for a job today wishing they would
work anywhere, and I just need to get a check
coming in here.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I actually get to go to work to a job
I enjoy. Steve Harvey, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
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.
(04:25):
Oh they had they 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.
(04:47):
I'm looking out the window right now, and I'm realizing
the sun is up and I'm free while I can
go out.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
There and enjoy it. Man, get out of here.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
You don't have You 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 the bed?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Because 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?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
What about that? Are you kidding me? Man?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
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 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
(05:46):

up in here tripping about how much is on my plate?

and got grateful and got my day started and Now

to go to work and do it all over again.
