Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are our last break of
the day on this Monday. We made it through Monday. Yep, yep,
yep we did. I'm at work on a Monday. Look
at God, Monday different, different, y'all. Come on in here

(00:26):
right up, Sunday, get him and it's your turn. Steve.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah, hey, listen. Uh. It's just something I think about
from time to time, you know, and I want you
to be aware of something that I've had to become
a well because, you know, especially with social media out
here and everything, you know, some you know, it's really

(00:55):
best not to read the comments. I think social media
has proved a point that television was trying to prove
for a long time. Everybody don't deserve to be miked up, photographed,
or filmed. It used to be you had to go

(01:17):
and you know, go through a casting call and you
had to audition, you had to compete to win the
honor to be miked up, photographed or filmed. Well, because
of social media, there are no more requirements. There's no
more auditioning. You don't need to check with nobody. All

(01:39):
you got to do is open yourself an account or
a page. All you got to do is post it
and now all of a sudden, you are everything you
think you are. And that's the key part. You're everything
you think you are. It's people who post every day
that's got eight followers, got get get no likes, two likes,

(02:03):
and they own that every day and got so much
to say. And what I've discovered about social media is
they're starting to throw this word karma around all the time.
They look at your life and anything happens to you,
all of a sudden, it's karma. Karma comes from Eastern religion, Hinduism,

(02:23):
Hindu and Buddhism and all of that. That's where it
comes from. It's a principle. Now where y'all Christians and
Jewish people and and and and and and and and
whatever you are, where you started coming from? Taking that?
I don't know, but it's not always karma. And you

(02:45):
got to be careful with that, man, because it just
really ticks me off. You know, a lady had uh
had a child and they found out discovered on that
the child had autism. Do you know somebody said, well,
that's karma, and I go, wait a minute, man, what

(03:06):
And it's amazing how people use that word to become
so judgmental, like they're an authority on that. Stop giving
people authority over your life that you shouldn't be giving
it to listen to me, Do you know what I
don't do. I don't take criticism from people. I don't
take advice from Who are you to criticize me when

(03:30):
you ain't walked in my shoes? The people that's criticizing
you don't even walk in your shoes. You know why
because they couldn't, Most of them couldn't. They couldn't possibly
have done what you've done, accomplished what you've accomplished, been
through what you've been through, survived it, and that's what
they mad about. So now here they come waiting on

(03:52):
something to happen to you and then tell you that
it's karma. No, man, it's called life. When you lose
a loved one, ain't calmer, that's life. When something happens
to your child, your child is born a certain way,
are you something happens to your child, that's not karma,
that's not caarma. Now, if you out here committing wrongs,

(04:17):
there are some things that result. They're like some consequences
are calmer, some are If you commit a crime, and
you wind up in jail. Well that those two are
directly related. But you can't just draw two happenings in
people's life and put it together and you make that karma. No,

(04:39):
when you commit a crime and you go to jail,
you can call it karma if it's really justice. It's
really it's really what happens when you commit a crime. Now,
when you commit a crime and you get away with it,
God could be doing you some favor. Now issue you
are warning. That's what happens to a lot of people.
They ignore the warning. God gives everybody a warning. He

(05:03):
gives you an opportunity to go sit down somewhere to
check yourself, correct yourself, and go somewhere and sit down.
You know what I Meantimes people tell me, hey, hey, man,
you need to check yourself. You know, growing up in
the hood, they man, check yourself like you be talking
smack with a dude. They may, hey, check yourself. He
giving you a warning. Now check yourself, because if you

(05:27):
keep down this path that he'd have told you, there's
gonna be some consequences. Y'all be conscious of the word colma.
Don't let people twist your life up with that what
you're going through is sometimes it's just life. It's just
the test of life. Everybody has them, ups and downs, trials, tribulations,
victories and woes. Everybody have them. So when you winning,

(05:49):
is that calma to When God shows you grace and favor?
Is that calma? Where a comma ad? Then when you're
doing something to help somebody else, what a calma? Comment? Say? Na, Man,
they wait on you to stumble and then they attach
calma to it. That's not what it is. Every time
you stumble is not a punishment for something you did.

(06:10):
Sometimes you just get tested. Sometimes life just come your
way and you ain't even looking for it, and things
happen in life. It's just called life, y'all. It's not
always calm. Just remember that. Don't let people hold you
to that. Hey, y'all, listen to me. Have a great
day today. Enjoy yourself today, live in peace, Get a
relationship with God and enjoy an uncommon amount of peace

(06:31):
that He can provide you. God. God stops a relationship
with God can stop anxiety. Y'all have a great day, Okay,
Stay in people for all.
