Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right. On man's close remarks, did you get Yeah?

Speaker 2 (00:03):
You know what, Let me encourage people today because I
want to I want to empower everybody that's listening today.
Here's some an interesting piece of information that you have
to embed in your thinking. Because you have the power
of choice, you can actually decide, you can actually decide

(00:26):
how you choose to live your life, and you can
have a direct say so in the outcome of your life.
Life is not just you waking up and you playing
the cards you dealt. Now, life has some of those.
You're gonna be dealt a blow. Sometimes you're gonna dealt
a disappointment. You're gonna have to You're gonna be dealt
some grief. You're gonna be dealt some setbacks. Those are

(00:49):
the cards of life. But life is ten percent what
happens to you. It's ninety percent what you do about it.
Everybody it's dealt these cards at one time or another,
but everybody handles it differently. And the difference between successful
people and non successful people are the way you handle

(01:12):
the cards you are dealt, and you have the power
to decide how you do that. The best way to
handle it is to have a positive outlook towards everything.
And I know that sounds difficult, and it's virtually impossible
to maintain all the time, even for me. But for

(01:32):
the most part, I maintain a positive outlook, a positive,
positive attitude. I say it on the radio sometime in
the beginning. If you start with gratitude, gratitude affects your attitude.
Your attitude determines your altitude. I call it the three tudes, Gratitude, attitude, altitude.

(01:58):
And that's the part that a lot of people miss.
You think that you have to buy into a bad day,
you really don't. And you can start with the way
you think. First of all, here's a definite daykiller. If
you make the announcement, if you lay claim, I'm not

(02:20):
a morning person. Do you even understand what you've done?
Can you understand the magnitude of that statement alone, I'm
not a morning person. Well that's kind of crazy to me,
because seeing us how the gold is to wake up

(02:41):
every morning, why would you not be a morning person?
But you know how many people you've heard lay claim
to that, And look at everybody you know that says
I'm not a morning person. It explains a lot about
where you are listen to me. I love mornings. I
love waking up. I really like being up before the

(03:04):
suns come up. I like to wake up and hear
the birds praising God any morning. Do you know that
the birds have enough sing, enough sense that when the
sun is cracking the sky, they start chirping. They praising,
They're announcing a new day. Rooster's crow, birds chirping, sing
because it's a new day. They're all grateful for it.

(03:28):
Why would you not be Stop saying negative things to
start your day wrong. I got up on the wrong side.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Of the bed.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Okay, get back in it and put your feet on
the other side. You get to determine that. Man, you
really really do. Stop buying into something. Somebody talking about
you they don't know you. Somebody posting something about you
online that's not true. What does it really change unless
you buy into it. I get stuff posted about me

(03:58):
online all the time. It's so far from truth. But
guess what. I quit reading that stuff, man. I quit
letting people call me with it. Man, you all right,
what you mean?

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Tom? You see what they said? No? I didn't see
what they said. Who is they the internet? Boy?

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Are you for real? You're calling me to tell me
what the Internet said. When the Internet don't know me, bruh,
listen to me. You know what helps me a lot.
Martin Luther King had a saying. Martin Luther King said,
a man can't ride your back unless you bend over.
I don't bend over. You're not riding my back. I

(04:37):
give nobody the power of my life except God Almighty.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Here's the author and the architect of my being and
my future.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
And I don't care what you say on the Internet
or the podcast. You are not the architect and author
of my being or my future.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
You can't destroy me because you didn't make me.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
And I got news for you. You can't stop nothing
God got for me. Do you know something, y'all? If
God gives you something, there is nothing no man can
do about it. And they better be careful. They need
to be careful because if God has blessed you, if
God meant for you to have it, and then you see,
you see a person coming along trying to take it

(05:24):
from you, Oh careful, be very very careful. You people
are not by themselves. People who love the Lord are
not by themselves. Man, they got a friend, they got
they got a power greater than you are me, So

(05:44):
be very careful when you start touching God's people. People
that love God, people, praying people, people that's annoying it.
People that God got on assignment, people that God got
a plan for. I'm on assignment. I have an assignment.
I'm on now. You can knock me if you want to,
but be very careful.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Now. I'm not supposed to say.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Anything to you. Every now and then I get human, though.
Every now and then I just I'm just human. I
ran up into somebody that said something real negative about
me something one time. I just, you know, I should
have ignored it and played it off because God don't
need my help. Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord. But

(06:27):
when I saw him, I didn't see the Lord at
that time. So I handled it. Let God handle it
for you. Stay on the wall, y'all. You know you
have a decision. Choice shows my clothes remarf talk to
God today. Lapsolutely love to hear from the y
