I want to just give you a few things
that I think will help you maybe get
your day going in the right direction
and maybe affect the whole rest of your
day and I hope it helps you every single
day of your life now what if I told you
you could be happy every day
and it’s simple it doesn’t matter where
you live what you do or how old you are
it’s a daily habit just like brushing
your teeth start your list today just
take a minute
close your eyes and think about the
things that made you feel warm and happy
and protected and think about what made
you feel okay we can learn more about
people by listening to them
enter any other source and we can also
learn a lot about ourselves by listening
to ourselves
[Music]
now not only do we need to stop saying
wrong things but we need to say right
things and the best way to stop saying
wrong things is to stay so busy saying
right things that there’s no room for
the wrong things so I think we need to
take a much more positive approach and
not just always talk about what we
shouldn’t do but just talk about what we
should do we overcome evil with good now
let me just talk to you a little bit
about what we should be talking about
let’s give more thanks to God let’s be
thankful for more things let’s get up in
the morning and just look around and
find at least five things that we can
specifically say God I’m thankful for my
family I’m thankful that I’ve got a bed
to sleep in and I’m not sleeping on the
street somewhere
[Music]
I’m thankful I think God all the time
for clean water because I’ve been in
places where people are drinking water
that you would not believe that any
human being would put in their body I am
so thankful for water
[Music]
how about heating air conditioning
that’s a good thing to be thankful for
isn’t it I’m thankful to have all kinds
you don’t have to be an Einstein to find
five things to be thankful for and then
maybe the next day we could find five or
maybe even make a list let’s fight the
enemy let’s fight the negative with
positive things
let’s fight evil with good let’s not let
the devil win let’s not let him use our
mouths as a garbage dog what do you want
to happen in the future then start
calling those things that be not as
though they are I’m debt free that’s a
good thing to say I don’t care if you’re
up to your eyeballs in debt start saying
I’m debt free stop saying I can’t find a
quit claiming diseases like they’re your
personal possession
[Applause]
[Music]
one of the big reasons why we have
difficulty controlling our thoughts
controlling our mouths and especially
controlling our emotions is when we get
too tired we don’t get enough rest we
don’t get enough sleep we don’t have any
balance in our lives we work too much
don’t rest we take on too much
responsibility we get in other people’s
stuff trying to fix their problems when
they don’t even want to fix them it is
so valuable to learn the power of your
anger following impulses self-pity I’m
so disappointed well give reappointed
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
well I just feel like such a failure
I’ve got a revelation for you you’re not
done if you’re not dead
[Applause] [Music]
