Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Win in the holiday season. And you know you always
talk about this, but the power of being grateful, man,
you start every day. I think you think people understand
that you start this every day. You start your show
with it, you close your show with gratitude.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Just being grateful, I mean, it's essential element to success.
It's the most underused and underappreciated tool for success. It's
such a mandatory tool to be successful, but it's one
of the most overlooked because people are trying to use

(00:38):
stuff like hard work, studying, you know, research development, or
they try to use classes as a tool. People go
and take seminars, or people by self help books, literature,

(00:59):
you know all of this stuff. Man, there is not
a tactic more useful to you becoming successful than gratitude.
The moment you become truly grateful that you in earnest
show true gratitude, you cannot imagine what it opens up

(01:23):
for you. First of all, it signals to God that
you appreciate what He's done. And the reason you lose
sight of gratitude is because your focus is solely on
what's missing in your life, what you don't have, what
you learn for your goals, your aspirations, and you've lost

(01:44):
focus of everything He's done for you. And if you
want to become more successful, you have to become more grateful. See,
the more grateful you are, the more grateful you are,
the more God will give you to be grateful. Four.
But if you show no gratitude, it's just a lack

(02:05):
of appreciation. It's like snack never saying thank you? Are
you serious, man, as you're a human being? Now, how
many times can you do something for somebody and they
never say thank you for it? Do you know how
you would make note of that? I say all the time.
Let's you know, back in the old days, people used
to go down the street and borrow an ingredient, cup

(02:27):
of sugar fly or something like that. Let's say you
walk down the street one day and you buy a
cup of sugar, bar a couple of sugar from a neighbor,
and he give you the cup and you get to say, hey, man, cool,
just what I need it and walk off ah okkk.
But you come back again for another cup of sugar.
They give you another cup of sugar and you walk

(02:48):
off and say, man, that's the second time I'd have
been over here. Man, got it? Man? And you walk off. Now,
keep in mind now you ain't saying thank you, but
the person you come to too kind of goes, hey, man,
I keep giving this person a cup of sugar. And
I've noticed they don't ever even just say a comic
courtis they don't never say thank you. So how many

(03:11):
times do you think you could go back to that
person steady asking for stuff and never say thank you.
You don't show no gratitude, like it's a given, like
they supposed to, like you take it for granted, like
you just assume. So now the fourth time you go
down the street and you say, hey, man, can I
get a cup of sugar?

Speaker 1 (03:31):
No?

Speaker 2 (03:31):
We out? Man? I well on, man, what you mean
you out? I know you got it? No good, we
were good man. We ain't got nothing. Now you walk away,
You'll never know what it is for. But I can
assure you that man to say it to himself. He
come down here every time I fill up his cup
of sugar, he never say thank you. Now, God ain't
that way, And ain't we fortunate that he's not that way?

(03:54):
Cause you know how many times he wakes us up,
and how many people don't ever say thank you for
waking me up, but then he do it again tomorrow.
You better be glad God ain't us. You better be
glad God is who he is. But imagine, though, if
before you ask God for stuff, you went down a

(04:15):
list of things that you showed gratitude for. Like I
tell you something, man, I had to really get a
focus on the past few years. I was steady asking
God for stuff. I was thanking him, being grateful, but
I wasn't really thanking him enough. And it dawned on
me one day that whole list, Steve, that you keep
asking God for this whole, this deal, that deal, this money,

(04:39):
this check, this deal, that money. Hey, man, do you
realize what all you have? So I started paying close
attention because the real way to pray is you're supposed
to offer thanks before you asked for something. You know,
like it would help you if you went back down
to the house and you said thank you every time

(05:02):
he gave it to you. But he said, but if
you went back and said, hey man, listen, I know
I'm back again. I show appreciate you helping me. Man.
We just down and out down the street. Man, I
know I've came down before, and I appreciate the other
two cups you gave me, but I really need to
bar another cup. Man, he would be more than happy
to give you a cup of sugar. So when you

(05:22):
go to God, you got to show some gratitude because man,
I had to start remembering of all he had done
for me. And once I started looking at what all
he had done for me, sometimes, Man, I'm gonna tell you,
like the other day, I was praying and I was
going down everything. I was getting real specific about what
He owed me, about what He's done for me. Bruh,

(05:44):
do you realize man? I just stopped. I said, hey, man,
you need to stop. He didn't done enough for you.
He adn't done a lot for you. But it has
opened up the windows of blessings for Heaven to throw
out a blessing that I can't receive. I have a
life of abundance because God has gotten me into overflow

(06:05):
because of how grateful I am for everything He's given me.
I dare you to try that. I dare you to
try that and watch God how he opens up windows
for you. Just show gratitude. Man, those are my closees remarks.
Have yourself a great day to day. Talk to God today.
He would absolutely love to hear from you. He really would.
