Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are, last break of the day,
the week. It's been a fun day, a great week too.
How you feeling, Steve.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Always always the same? All right, Hey, I want to
remind some people of this. Somebody when I was talking,
I've always always recommended two books to people that they
should purchase on your way to becoming successful. And the

(00:31):
two books I've always recommended are the two most powerful
books I've ever written outside of the Bible, the Book
of Proverbs. Nothing has affected me more than the two
books The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peel
and The Magic of Dave The Magic of Thinking Big

(00:53):
by David Schwartz. Those two books change the game for
me because those two things you can control. You can
control your mind. You have a choice. You have a
choice to think positive or negative. You have a choice

(01:13):
of doing good or evil.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
You have this.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Choice every single day of your life. The majority of
the time, I choose to think positive. Now, I'm a
human being, and sometimes I let negative thoughts get in
the way. I let negative thoughts impair my thinking process.
I let negative thoughts reside a little bit too long

(01:36):
in my mind. I'm human, I've done that. Oh, I
can't tell you thousands of times, but you have a
chance to control that. Remember something about your feelings. Your
feelings are a barometer of your thoughts over the last
fifteen to thirty minutes. Think about that you feel right

(02:01):
now is in direct correlation of what your thoughts have
been the last fifteen to thirty minutes. So if you
feel in some kind of way, you feel a little
bit off, just retrack your steps and see what you've
been thinking about the last fifteen to thirty minutes. Because

(02:24):
that's your feelings are a barometer of your thoughts. You
have control of that. Though. You have control of your
mental prowess. You can be a positive person or a
negative person. You get to choose. All of us know
negative people. All of us know that somebody that I

(02:46):
don't care what's happening? Something wrong, I don't care what
you ask them? Something wrong. I got this one partner
man that I cannot stand talking to him because he
has a problem for every solution. Did you hear what
I said? He has a problem for every solution. I

(03:09):
don't care what man. I used to come up with
some good ideas and tell this dude what I was
gonna do. And immediately he would provide me with the
problems with what the solution I'd already came up with. Hey, man,
you know I was thinking about opening up this thing
right here, and I figured out how to do it.
I've got the paperwork and I'm gonna go to the bank.

(03:33):
Yeah but dog, but if the bank don't give you
the money, you right back to square one. Okay, y'all know,
don't But what if they give me the money? Well,
you can't worry about that. Suppose you don't get the money. Okay,
Wait a minute, man, what we going with. We ain't
even went down there yet. We ain't turned into paperwork,
we ain't did none of that. So why are you

(03:55):
providing a problem for clearly what I have found a solution.
You gotta be careful of having people like that in
your life. Surround yourself with like minded people, get yourself
in a positive path, and put positive people around you. Man.
I was listening to John O'Brien the other day. He said,

(04:15):
if you hang around with nine poor people, you gonna
be number ten. That's just a fact. So I look
for people who are progressive thinking. I look for people
who are trying to become successful. I had a conversation yesterday.

(04:36):
A wealthy guy called me because he knows I'm one
of the few people he can tell his good news too.
He said, Man, something incredible just happened to me. Man,
I ain't got nobody share with you. Know, I won't
tell somebody. I said, what you got dog? He told me.
I said wow, I said, man, I'm so happy for you. Man,
I said, boy, you my inspiration because he needs that.

(05:00):
I don't care who you are. Everybody needs somebody around
them that's like minded. Surround yourself with like minded people.
It may just be one of two people that you
could tell your visions and dreams too. Okay, then relegate
it down to those one or two people. You can't
tell everybody everything. Everybody not gonna be happy for you.
Control your thought process, and then let me tell you

(05:21):
about this. That's the positive power, positive thinking, the magic
of thinking big. It cost you no more brain cells
to think big than it does small. It don't cost
you more to say regular than it does to say extraordinary.
It cost you no more brain cells. It don't cost
you no more brain cells to say three hundred than

(05:44):
it does to say three million. Think about it. It
don't cost you no more so if you think big,
and the Bible is true that a man is as
he thinketh' don't that makes sense to you that if
you think big, there's a possibility that you'll be big.

(06:05):
But if you think small, I can promise you you
can't be big. You can't outdo your thoughts. You're gonna
eventually have to do it the other way around. But
you're not gonna be able to outdo your thoughts, y'all.
So change your thought process. You have control of that.
You have a say so in that. You can be positive.

(06:26):
You don't have to be negative. You can be well off.
You don't have to be regularly. You could be exceptional.
All you got to do is make the decision. Those
are my close remarks today. Hey, y'all talk to God today.
He would absolutely love to hear from you. All right,
y'all have a.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
