Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are, last break of the
day on this Thursday. This week is rolling by. First
I thought it was slow. Now it's getting fast, going
by fast. It really is, Yeah, it really is. Yep.
But it's been a good day. It's been a good day,
all right, Steve. You know, Oh, I guess I'm gonna
(00:25):
kind of stay in the mode of motivation because I
want to inspire people because you know, look, I think
so many people can get so discouraged by so many
different things. I mean, you know, for some it seems
(00:48):
like bigger items than others. But you know, it's all
in perspective. It all depends on the amount of experience
you have in life, on how well you handle setbacks
and trials and tribulations. So it's all relative. When you
see a person that's thinking about giving up for a
lesser reason than you would, it doesn't make that reason
(01:10):
not valid. It's very valid. It's just they may not
have the experience with grapping or copy with situations like you.
But I want to say something to everybody that's on
their road to success. It is a tough road. It
is a tough road. It is a difficult journey. It
(01:30):
is not easy to become successful. It's just not. And
I think when people start running up into those obstacles,
it's easy to say, Wow, this is really hard and
give up and quit. But I want to tell you something. See,
(01:51):
whenever God is about to do something great for you,
I've found that in those moments, the devil is also
aware of your future too. He sees when God is
doing great things in your life, and he sees when
God is blessing you. His job is to rob you
(02:14):
of that destiny to get to where God has has
ordained a plan for you to be. So what he
does is when he looks into your future and he
sees that God is about to do something big for you,
he throws at you the opposition. Have you noticed that
(02:35):
it comes from people you thought you were cool with that,
It comes from people that you've done so much for
that it comes out of the side, out of the bushes,
almost out of a dark your hardware. You just go,
where did that come from? Why they're tripping? After all
I did? It always seems like it comes out of
(02:58):
nowhere Because that's one of the devil's best tricks. He
tries to blindside you with it, and the more hurtful
he can be towards you, the more he can throw
you off the course. So he presents, of course, people
that you know, you care about, that you thought was
your friends, that you thought was all right with you.
And it comes from that angle right there. What I'm
(03:19):
saying is, on this journey to success, be prepared for opposition,
because it's going to come. It is a part of
the process. None of us will get to where we
want to be in life without going through the process. Now,
you know how you hear motivational speakers talking and you
hear the audience member go oh that's good, that's good,
(03:41):
that's good, and they start writing on it. Oh I
like that, or the preacher be talking and go oh
that's good, that's good. That's good, that's good. You know,
people get inspired by that. I guess I'm the same
way as anybody else. But when I talk to people
about success, I try to make it instead of good,
I try to make it understandable. I try to get
(04:02):
you to grab this thing that I'm talking to you
about in the simplest form of fashion so you can
move on with it. I'm just saying this to you
as plain as I can on your road to success.
The devil gonna throw them obstacles at you. Every time
something good is coming your way, they got to throw
something bad at your way. Something's happening in my life
(04:22):
right now to try to throw out my progress. But
I'm aware of it. That don't mean that that's that
is easy. And it doesn't mean that because I'm aware
of it, I know how to cope with it better
I do. But it still bothers me. It still bothers
me to somebody that I did so much for can
turn so easily because they see a buck and they
(04:46):
can turn. But you know what I've also learned about
this road to success. God don't put more on you
than you can bath. Do you know sometimes that you're
going through stuff not only to show you something, but
to teach the person that surround you a lesson too?
Do you know that God uses your strift to teach
(05:07):
the weaker or the evil a lesson through you? Have
you ever noticed that? I don't know if you have.
That's a hard one to come to the realization that
you're going through something and you're not enjoying it, but
it's gonna teach that person that's trying to do something
to you, they've been to learn a real valuable lesson.
It's gonna cost you a little bit, but God, I
(05:28):
already know you got the strift to handle it because
he'd have done so many things with you and for
you throughout the years. He knows you can handle it,
so he allows things to happen to you. But he's
also gonna show that person that's trying to do you,
he's gonna show him something. He's gonna teach him a
valuable lesson. You're just a vessel to get it done,
(05:48):
but you use that way because you're strong enough. So
in this case, I have to remember that about myself,
but I also want you to remember it about yourself
that you are strong. That everything you've ever gone through,
every hard ship, every every struggling moment. Like I always say,
your track record for surviving hardship and struggling moments, your
(06:08):
track record for surviving that. It's one that's pretty good
track record, y'all. So all you gotta do is keep
on waking up, keep on believing, keep on praying, keep
on working, and you're gonna get through that too, just
like me. And at the end of the day, the
person is trying to do you the most. Hum be
careful when you dig a grade. You might have to
(06:29):
dig too or you might end up in that hole yourself.
You got to be careful. Remember that, y'all. Have a
great day. God loves you. Hey, y'all, talk to God.
He loved to hear from you. We'll see y'all tomorrow. Y'all,
Stay heavy, stay blessed, Stay big. In the words of
my married judge, Greg Mathis, you can't be big and
small at the same time. Make up your mind for
