Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, here we are guys, our last break of

(00:02):
the day, and Steve, as always, you always have something
enlightening to say. Yesterday outstanding, it was well today. I
just want to give everybody a little bit of just
a heads up. You know, every year it seems like

(00:24):
this social media thing it takes everything to a new level.
The way they use it now, AI is out there.
They got people making up interviews that didn't really happen.
They got people's using AI voices, putting it to if
you watch the person's mouth real closely, is not them

(00:47):
saying those words at all. And they got everything out there, man,
So listen to me, y'all be conscious of how social
media really works, and don't allow social media to be
the checkpoint, the balance, and the direction for your life.

(01:13):
You will not survive that way. You have got to
keep this social media thing under wraps in your mind.
First of all, stop allowing people who don't know you.
Stop allowing people who don't have your best interests at
heart control what you think about yourself and your moves.

(01:39):
Stop giving people that power. Don't give a person power
over you that has none. You know, I say this
one hundred times on this show. Martin Luther King said
it best. He said, a man can't ride your back
unless you bend over. Do not succumb to social media.
Stop this need for clicks and likes to the point

(02:02):
where the moment somebody say something about you has got
you all turn upside down. Man, stop doing that, I
promise you. In twenty twenty five, as I approach my
sixty eighth birthday, I can assure you God, let me
live the old I've gotten, the less I care about

(02:24):
what somebody say or think about me. People online just hating.
You know why they hating because day life is miserable.
Look hurt people, hurt people, sad. People try to make
you sad. Evil people do evil things, and it's just

(02:45):
the sad truth of it is that social media platform
is to playground for it. So look at this right here.
Half the time, if you look up half the people
that's talking about you, they either got a private page
or they got so few you follow us. It don't
even somebody dog and Me got two hundred followers. Man,

(03:06):
By stop allowing clicks, baits and comments to ruin your
day and direct your path. All it is is a
distraction to throw you off course. From where you are headed.
Do you know in twenty twenty five that you have
the right to make a decision that you gonna get

(03:28):
with God and y'all gonna make it. Do you know
you have that power that you can actually do that
you can actually say to God, Hey, God, I'm with
you cause I know you with me. This is my plan.
Now could you line it up with yours? Show me
what's right about my plan, and help me design a
plan that's in your will, and let's get to start

(03:51):
making a success out of my life. You get to
make that decision. Man, I don't care what y'all say.
If it's negative about me, you don't even know me.
And you know what, somebody taught me this. They said, Man,
if a person don't have your cell phone number, they

(04:14):
don't really know you. You think about that, y'all. Everybody
really know you got your sale number, or everybody that
you don't mind knowing you has your sale number. Are
people you're trying to develop a relationship with, or whether
it's business or acquaintance or friendship or whatever, they have

(04:34):
your sale number. The rest of them people they don't
have your number. If they matter to you, they have
your number, y'all, stop allowing clicks, likes and comments to
direct your life. It's nothing but a distraction. I can't

(04:54):
tell you, man, how many times my life will be
going along. You ever have your life just going along,
just going to having a good day, and then somebody
you know, reach out to you and go, hey, man,
you all right? Did you hear what they said about you? Man?
You know what, whenever somebody does that to me, I
stop them and then I block them, because, man, if

(05:17):
you so small minded that you think you finna call
me with these little crumb snatch a mestace on this
in and at about something somebody say about me. You
and your wife, man, y'all good. I just want to
make you y'all good. Marjorie okay, man, Me and Marjorie fine.
Me and Marjorie don't have no marital problems. You know.

(05:39):
We like any other married couple. We got our days, man,
where we were. We ain't seeing out of our own stuff.
I'm like any other married coach. But marital problems we
don't have that. We ain't in no trouble, none of that.
So I don't care what nobody say. Man, they done
broke us up. So many times they donet had us
cheating on each other, lying on each other. Now I

(06:00):
don't even care. Listen, y'all, stop caring about people who
don't know you. Get your relationship with God, map up
your plan for twenty twenty five. Get in touch with God,
get your gratitude together, get your determination together, and you
and God set the course and the path for your life.
And don't let these people who are haters and they

(06:21):
sayers have a directional impact on your life. Don't give
them nothing in twenty twenty five. You get nothing. Those
are my clothes and remarks. Y'all, stay on the wall,
stay on the high road, and go on to have
a great twenty twenty five. Y'all have a good and
see y'all to them all.
