Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we are, last break of the day and time
for some closing remarks from the wonderful, the one and only,
our fearless leader, Steve Harvey. What you got, Steve? You know,
I was just thinking about encouragement and the things that
have happened in my life to greatly encourage me. And

(00:25):
kind of, like I said, this morning, you know, I
kind of woke up this morning. I just wasn't myself
this morning. I wasn't my usual and I found myself thinking,
you know, some thoughts that I shouldn't have allowed to
get into my head. But I quickly reversed that. And
I'm gonna tell you something that I do because I

(00:46):
was taught a long time ago that your feelings are
a barometer of your thoughts. Your feelings are a barometer
of your thoughts. And what that simply means is what's
your feeling is actually like just a thermometer of what
you've been thinking over the past twenty thirty minutes. If

(01:09):
you think, if you catch yourself feeling out of sorts
or getting to a little funk, or feeling a little depressed,
all you have to do is trace back what you've
been thinking for the past fifteen to thirty minutes, because
all your feelings are are simply a barometer, or however

(01:30):
you want to look at it. You might want to
say a thermometer, so you can say it tells the
temperature of what you've been thinking. And so I had
to go back and do that, and I realized the
reason I kind of woke up on the wrong side
of the bed was because I was laying at thinking
some negative thoughts. I was thinking about all the stuff

(01:51):
I had to do, all the stuff I needed to accomplish,
and then I was realizing that there was no way
I was gonna get it all done today, no matter
how hard I try. And as I was sitting there
man beating myself up for knowing all that I had
to do and knowing I didn't have enough time in

(02:12):
the day to get it done, I started feeling sort
of out of sorts and like, man, this is I
want this to move blah blah blah blah blah. Well,
I had to catch myself because I had to be
reminded of the Lord's prayer, the line that says, give
us this day our daily bread, which God has mentally
equipped us to handle. Today. God didn't set our brain

(02:35):
up to handle tomorrow, to worry about it anyway. You
can think about it and aspire about it and dream
about it, but you're surely not to worry about it
because there's nothing you can do about it. But I
was sitting there about worrying about today and all I
had to do, and how I was gonna fit it anyday,
and knowing I couldn't, and how I was gonna affect
my tomorrow. Bad mistake, Steve Harvey, and you know better.

(02:58):
And so I'm trying to help you all understand that
when you get into that funk like that, no better,
Like I had to know better. God has equipped us
to handle today. Give us this day our daily bread.
He don't want you tripping on what that already happened
in the past. You can't go back, you don't get
do overs, And ain't no need to worry about the
future because you have no control over it. So I

(03:20):
had to get focused, and I had to think about, Wow,
all I need is today. I need enough to make
it today. And so as I was sitting there shaving,
I was sitting be thinking, I said, Wow, I'm up.
I have a measure of help. I'm shaving. I'm actually okay,

(03:41):
I'm order some room service. I'm okay. I get to
go to work today. That's a blessing, not I gotta
go to work. I get to go to work today,
because that's a blessing. It's a blessing to have that opportunity.
It's people looking for a job today wishing it would
work anywhere, and I just need to get a check

(04:02):
coming in here. I actually get to go to work,
to a job I enjoy. Steve Harvey, are you kidding me?
You got the nerve to wake up on the wrong
side of the bed because you was worrying about what
you might not accomplish. Have you taken a moment, sir,

(04:22):
to just realize what you have? That my children are healthy,
that they all still with me, That I got loving family.
Oh they had a dysfunctional moments. Oh you can believe that.
By at the end of the day. I bet they
love each other. Hey man, you have options. Hey man.

(04:49):
You're able to walk, to see, to talk, to think,
to rhyme, to reason. It's just so many little things.
I'm looking out the window right now and I'm realizing
the sun is up and I'm free while I can
go out there and enjoy it. Man, get out of here.
You don't have the right, sir, to wake up on

(05:12):
the wrong side of the bed when the joy and
the gratitude ought to be that you woke up on
the bed. How about that? Cause don't you remember Steve
Harvey when you didn't have no bed partner? Now you're
worried about getting up on the wrong side, How about
them three years when you ain't had no bed? What
about that? Are you kidding me? Man? So you gonna

(05:35):
lay up here stuck on stupid because you're on the
wrong side of the bed. You frustrated you ain't got
enough time in the day. But did you ever really
think about why you don't have enough time in the
day because you got stuff to do. You know why
you got stuff to do because God created you to
be busy. You know why he created you to be
busy so you can have the life you ask for.
You can't complain about what's all on your plate when

(05:57):
