Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, this is our last break of the day.
Last break.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Yeah yeah, and Steve, yes, what.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Do you think of today?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Well, now I'm ready my clothes remarks.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Today, I like to talk to people about a question
that's oftentimes asked of me.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Steve, you always work and you always busy?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
What are you doing? Why do you work like that?
Why are you always how do you do this? How
do you do that? And look, I'm not bragging here.
I get the same twenty four hours that everybody else gets.
I'm not awarded anymore day in daylight that nobody else
sunrise for me just like it do for you. It's
set for me, just like it do for you. I
(00:44):
don't get no extra I can't control time. The Bible
says time and tide waits on no man. It ticks
for me just like it ticks for you. What I
want to offer everybody, though, is a way to look
at this thing. And it's a simple process. It's just
called time management. You actually have a say, soul in
(01:10):
what you do with the time that sufforded you. Now
here's the upside. If God wakes you up in the morning,
it is a sign that God is not through with
you yet. Which means that's still more for you to accomplish. Now,
(01:30):
us being the human beings that we are in the
creature that He created us to be, and the only
creature that he gave complete total of choice. So now
you get to decide what you do with this opportunity
that's been given to you on a daily basis.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I need your attention here.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
You get to decide what you do with this blessing
called time that is presented to you every day. So
stop looking around at what somebody else got and always
talking about how they do this, how they do that,
when you have your own set of twenty four to
concern yourself with, and just maybe they got it going
(02:10):
on because they spending their twenty four a little bit different.
So I invite you all to start controlling your time management.
I'm inviting you all to start looking at how you
go about your day.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Now. I got the three w's I'm gonna talk to
you about.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
It's the what you spend your time on, the way
you spend your time, and who you spend your time
with a whole.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
That's the whole story, y'all.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
In time management, all you have to do is answer
these three questions.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
What are you spending your time on?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Where are you spending your time and who are you
spending it with. It's the what, where, and who of
time management that I've started to concern myself with that
began to change my life.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
See what are you committed to?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
What activity occupies your mental space, what activity occupies your
daily space?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
What are you committed to?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
If God has given you this blessing of waking you
up every day because He has yet more for you
to receive, ask yourself a simple question. What are you
doing to move yourself in a direction to receive what
God has done for you, this incredible blessing called this
gift of life?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
What have you done today?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I know people don't like hearing this, but all you
got to do is ask.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Yourself what am I gonna do today? Where am I
going today? And who almost spend my day with? And
watch at the end of the day, you can determine
whether you're moving forward, sideways, standing still, or going backwards.
Or you can even just determine if you ain't going nowhere.
But people have to be honest with theyself. And this
(04:02):
ain't me saying I got it all together. This is
me talking to me all the time. I got to
constantly monitor my time management, what occupies my mental space
and what occupies my daily space. If you hang with
people and all they do is gossip, guess what you
gonna be a gossiper. If you hang with people that's
(04:22):
always talking about business, you're gonna discuss business.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
If all the friends.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
You hang out with are only into physical fitness and
that's it, you're gonna go to jail.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
You got to go to jail.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
If everybody you hang out with shoot dice and gamble,
guess why y'all gonna be someone shooting dice and gambling. Now,
gambling is win some, lose some, but it's mostly lose some.
Now hard it is to become a professional gambler because
you don't control enough of that situation.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
So that's what you do, That's what you end up,
and that's who you running with. Y'all. You got to
change the way you manage your time. You got to
start caring about this day.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
You got to quit letting me all these days slip
by where you ain't doing nothing to progress yourself. You're
not doing anything to make yourself better. You gotta stop that.
Come on, man, God is inviting you to a life
of abundance. And he invites you to this life of
abundance by waking you up.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Every day.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
It's a fresh invitation. Every day you got a ticket
to the ball. Waking up is like having a ticket
to the ball. Every day. You get to go to
the Mech Gala. Every day you're invited. Now, this gallon
that you attend is up to you. You have to
determine what you gonna do today, where you're gonna spend
(05:47):
your day, and who you gonna spend your day with.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
You have a say soul with that people that's locked up.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I know people who are locked up who have gotten
together and said this is what we gonna do today,
this is where we're gonna spend our time, and this
is who we're gonna hang with. I know some people
that have come out of prison and gotten better. So
what you're gonna do? I'm just asking you how you
(06:14):
