1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,400 Hey y'all, whether it's morning evening or afternoon, I'm just glad that you guys had decided to buy with me. 2 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:14,000 Yes, the one and only E. Today I'm just coming on here to just, you know, give and spread holiday 3 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:21,120 cheer but also want to give y'all a little, not as long as a podcast that I always give y'all, 4 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:27,280 but I feel like it is gonna chime a little bit longer, but hey, it's good. So first I just want to start 5 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:33,520 off by saying whether you want to go or at home, I want you guys to sit back, relax and enjoy the 6 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,560 show. And if you're new here, same thing, I want you to sit back, relax and enjoy the show, whether 7 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:45,680 you want to go or at home, please get comfortable because yeah, every Bible today is something 8 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:52,000 special. And for the ones that are not nuditous but true to this, hey y'all, what's up, what's popping. 9 00:00:52,000 --> 00:01:00,240 So let's get into it. So today's Bible Today is all about giving. Yes, the reason why I wanted to 10 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:06,560 talk about giving is because by being holiday time, like I said, today this episode will intertwine 11 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:12,480 with both holiday season along with giving. And the reason why I wanted to do this because, 12 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:21,440 like I said, within the tradition podcast, holiday time is one of the biggest times ever of the year. 13 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:26,000 You know, it's always given to like towards the end of the year. That's when the holiday time is 14 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:32,880 there. You have your Thanksgiving, you have Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, Boxing Day, whatever other 15 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:41,120 holidays that you guys may celebrate. Holiday time is where giving is displayed more than anything. 16 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:47,200 I feel like this is a time where all of us need to give more instead of always receiving because 17 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:53,840 giving is one of them things where it is an act that is freely transformed, transforming to someone 18 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:59,760 or something without expecting anything in return, such as when it comes to holiday time, when you 19 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:07,840 give love and give gifts and things like that, just giving a general is just one of those things where 20 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,520 it should be from the heart and it's genuine, not just you giving it just because you want to give it. 21 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:21,200 You know, so let's get deep into it. Like as I have, so as we recap on last week's episode about 22 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:27,680 traditions today, I'm going to let you know that the impacts of the importance of giving at a time 23 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,480 instead of always want to receive it, it doesn't matter what you give to people. There's a little 24 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:39,680 bit of, there's a little bit can make them smile, especially around this holiday time. Give love, 25 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:46,000 give respect, and also give peace this holiday season and all year round to avoid being the grinch. 26 00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:52,880 When I say avoid being the grinch because you know, we have our moments in times where we have to, 27 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,760 sometimes we feel like the grinch, like you know, sometimes it's like we not into it or people feel 28 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:03,920 like we are the grinch towards them. And that's why I said during this holiday time, we don't need 29 00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:11,360 to be the grinch. We don't need to display any type of character versus characteristics that 30 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,240 the grinch give because you don't want to do that. I feel like holiday time is a time where 31 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:22,160 you know, like I mentioned in the last episode, if you did not hear it, whenever you do take the 32 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,800 time out of your busy day, listen to it, I greatly appreciate it. When I say within traditions, 33 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:33,600 traditions and holiday time helps you within the times that you know, you might be feeling 34 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:40,320 down. Holiday time helps you fix that, you know, it helps you put those issues and problems under 35 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:49,200 rug for like a couple hours or a day or two. So just really take the time to be involved and evolve 36 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:55,040 around the things and the people that are around you that is helping you feel better. Because like 37 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,600 I said, I'm hard times don't last forever. And there's no such thing as going back to normal 38 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:05,520 because you have to find a new normal. Okay. So when it comes to giving during the holiday time, 39 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:12,080 giving can be especially meaningful as it can help bring together people and spread joy and good 40 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,280 will, whether it's donating the charity, giving gifts to friends and family or simply helping 41 00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:23,600 someone in need. Giving during this holiday time is a great way to show kindness and compassion, 42 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:31,280 especially around this time of need because y'all like I said, I feel as though giving is one of 43 00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:36,880 the many things that it shows what type of person you are and it shows that you're not selfish. It 44 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:43,600 shows that you care for one another. It shows that you have a big heart, especially around holiday time. 45 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:51,280 I give as much as I can. You know, I'm a part of an organization at my school and we had to, 46 00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:56,480 we did a lot of donations for Thanksgiving, Christmas drives and things like that. And I did, 47 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:03,520 I gave a lot because it's like, you know, I'm blessed. So why not bless somebody else that's 48 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:09,520 in need, especially around this holiday time. I give all year round regardless. I don't care 49 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,920 how big or small it is. That's a thing too that people feel to realize when it comes to giving. 50 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:20,240 It doesn't matter how big or small it is. Long as you did your part. That's what matters the most. 51 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:28,080 Giving your part. That's what matters the most. You being there, giving and within when it comes 52 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:34,560 to giving people fail to realize also too is don't brag about it. Don't don't just give for 53 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,440 bragging points. Give because you wanted to give out the kinds of your heart. Don't give because 54 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:45,360 of publicity and shit like that. I don't like when people do that. If you're giving to someone, 55 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:51,360 I don't care giving advice. I don't care if it's an item, whatever. Give your giving period. Make 56 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:58,560 sure it is directly from the heart because you can, you know, at times we feel as though we can't 57 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,280 just give to everybody and it's okay because at times we may not have it, but you also got to 58 00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:09,200 keep in mind you're giving this person or these people this because you are doing the other 59 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:16,480 kinds of your heart. Not because oh you giving because you feel like it's a must. No. Give for 60 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,760 a good reason and for a good cause because God forbid you never know if that will be you one day 61 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:28,320 and I always keep that in mind too. That's why I try to go above and beyond when it comes to giving 62 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:34,160 like if the limit they say is four. I'm like well I gave like six, seven. If you got to pick, if you 63 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:39,200 got to just pick two items, I'm like well I picked three, four, five, you know, because that's the 64 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:47,440 type of person I am because I never know God forbid that might be me one day, you know. So when it 65 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:53,600 comes to giving y'all, I want y'all to really, really, really gravitate to that as being though, 66 00:06:53,600 --> 00:07:00,640 okay, give love. It's not even just holiday time. Just give it in general because you never know 67 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:06,720 what someone is going through and you never know if that will be you one day. If that'll be you one 68 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:13,120 day in that situation. So when it comes to giving, I want you guys to really pay attention to it 69 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:19,440 because giving to others is very powerful. It's very powerful like I said especially during this 70 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:27,120 holiday time, you know. It's very meaningful. It's very, very meaningful. So by giving to others, 71 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:35,440 not only are you spreading, you know, like I said, the joy, but you're also showing positivity around 72 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:43,280 people and it's also impacted you. Like I swear like y'all, I see you now when I give and do good 73 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:52,080 things, it makes my mood feel so like I feel like a whole new person. I feel so much light. I feel 74 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:58,080 very, very grateful. That alone, I feel it's a feeling, another feeling that you just can't really 75 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:03,680 explain when it comes to giving because just being there for a person in general is one of the 76 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:11,120 amazing, it's so amazing. Being there for someone, you know, taking, taking the load off of someone, 77 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:16,320 being there for someone, helping them within whatever's going on in their life, y'all. Just, 78 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:21,120 you know, if you know someone that's going through something or you know people, you know, that's 79 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:26,400 going through something, they need to help a hand, help them. Don't be the grinch and just 80 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:31,520 just stand there and let it happen and talk shit about them. No, like I said, this is holiday time 81 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,480 and the holidays is very, very, very, very important to me because as I was growing up, 82 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:45,440 I seen how the holidays was. I seen how at times the parents, you know, had to make sacrifices to 83 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,400 give to me and my siblings because they want us to have a good Christmas. So I always keep that in 84 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,080 mind. I always say that all the time when somebody says something and want to do something, I'd be 85 00:08:54,080 --> 00:09:00,640 like, is the sacrifices you have to make even by me being grown is at times where I have to sacrifice 86 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:09,440 a lot of shit in order to give and to get a positive outcome. So especially around this 87 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,920 holiday time, I know it's a lot of mama's, a lot of parents, a lot of mama's, a lot of daddy's, 88 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:20,800 parents, grandmama's, granddaddy's, auntie's, uncles, guardians that sacrificing a lot to give 89 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:28,640 to their children or whoever they got to give to because this is holiday time. This is season where 90 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:36,400 you know, children, you know, people have babies, toddlers, you know, excuse me, children that's 91 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:42,400 growing up into the thought world or growing up and just, you know, getting to know their 92 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:49,680 self more, you know. So when it comes to this season of giving, please also make sure to keep 93 00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:57,920 this in mind. You're giving for purpose, you know, at times, yes, we give for purpose because we 94 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,160 feel sorry, but you always got to keep in mind. Don't always have that in your mind like, oh, 95 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,000 I'm giving because I feel sorry. No, you're giving because you felt that in your heart. 96 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:12,000 Or you're giving because you know is the right thing. First of all, I think it's the right thing, 97 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:18,320 period. You're giving, I don't care if it's money, not time, energy, advice, the present, whatever 98 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:25,120 it is. Giving is one of the many things that sometimes we fail to realize. That is very important 99 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:30,800 in society. People always like, oh, you give some people an inch to take a mile. Sometimes you, 100 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:35,440 sometimes they have to. But now if you know these people, some of these people are real-bound and 101 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:40,240 you know they're going to give. And then every time you give them something, they always taking a mile 102 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:45,840 of it. Okay, you already know what's going on. Like, baby, you can't get mad at that. I've been there 103 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:51,840 too. You give somebody an inch to take a motherfucking mile. But it's like, it's okay. Because sometimes 104 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:58,160 it's like, okay, but you understand and get a glimpse and then observe and understand why they 105 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:06,240 got to do that. Hey, let them have it, you know. So I say this to say, as it's been holiday time, 106 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:16,240 I want us to all keep in mind giving, giving, giving, give because you want to, but also give 107 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,880 with a purpose. That's another thing too. Don't just do things without a purpose, especially 108 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:26,160 around holiday time. Don't do certain things that you know you're not doing it for a purpose. Like, 109 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:35,120 if you know it's not the God's honest truth or God's honest type of well-being, don't do it. 110 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,920 Don't set yourself up for things like that because like I said, holiday time is the time where you 111 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:48,720 supposed to be positive. Give joy, spread joy, give love, give everything as possible. Don't give 112 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:56,480 that negativity. Don't give off something that you know you're not really trying to give and you 113 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:02,240 know it's not really you. That's why I said to don't be the Grinch. Don't be the type to 114 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:08,960 oh, I'm a give, but I'm really, you know, I'm just giving just because or don't be given because you 115 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:14,320 see somebody else doing it. That's another thing I don't like when I see people like I'm just doing 116 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:21,040 this because you know I have to you to get a credit or something. No, I feel like you should be 117 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:27,280 doing things because you feel that way because it's important to you. Don't be just doing something 118 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:34,240 because it's a must. No, do it because you feel like it's important to do. Don't do not because oh, 119 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:40,480 such a such doing it. Oh, she dragged me into doing this. I don't know. Like I said, when it comes to 120 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:46,880 giving give with a purpose and give with a passion. Don't just give because I got to give to 121 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:54,880 that I give this to her because I just gotta do this. No, like I say, give with a passion, 122 00:12:54,880 --> 00:13:03,040 give with a purpose. Don't just be out here to say oh, you know, it's how they tell why that. No, 123 00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:08,640 keep in mind, like I said, at times when I got older, like as I got older, sometimes I was like, 124 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:13,440 dang, Christmas not the same no more. Because when you were a child, it's like, oh, it's full of love, 125 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:19,280 giving, you know, it's all full of love and happiness to hope. Now I'm older, it's like, 126 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:24,480 sometimes it's like, sometimes I don't feel like how it was when I was younger. But I got a new 127 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:31,680 norm for me now. And that's giving, giving to the people in need, no matter how big or small it is, 128 00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:36,400 I'm giving regardless because like I said, you never know, one day that might be you in that 129 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:43,600 position. So you got to embrace and appreciate and be thankful for the things that you have right 130 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:50,080 now because there's people out here today that don't have what we had. So like me, I'm not a selfish 131 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:57,040 person. I'm not a gatekeeper, none of that. When it comes to anything that I can get my hands on 132 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:03,280 and I can, you know, pay the way, give knowledge, give love, get appreciation, give wealth, good, 133 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:08,800 great, whatever, give whatever it is, I'm gonna do it because that's me. And plus I was raised that 134 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:16,960 way. Don't always be the receiver. Be a giver. Because givers, shout out to all of them givers out 135 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:23,120 there, man. Like we really some, we really some good people. Shout out to you givers because I'm 136 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:29,760 telling y'all, y'all are the type of people that are superheroes in my eyes. I feel like people 137 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:36,560 that give, especially around holiday time and not only holiday time all year long, give off that 138 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:44,080 type of energy and vibe that they're so nice, so open, understanding, grateful, highly holy spirit, 139 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:51,840 all them good things. Shout out to y'all because I praise y'all. I look up to y'all. I appreciate y'all 140 00:14:51,840 --> 00:15:00,560 because y'all give and give and give and y'all don't want nothing in return because y'all know, 141 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:06,720 regardless, this is what this is just y'all, this is just y'all being our natural self. Just giving 142 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:12,240 to any and everybody, no matter what the situation is and don't look anything for return. And I had 143 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,720 to learn and understand, like, you know, if I give you something, sometimes I want it back in return, 144 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:22,000 especially when it comes to money. Sometimes we want it back in return. But then it's like, you 145 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:27,760 know, like I said, when it comes to them receivers, you already know that people, you know, they take 146 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:35,360 an inch, they try to get a mile, you already know what they are. So you know, you got sometimes 147 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:41,040 is like, when you giving it is pros and cons, y'all know, always give out the pros and cons when it 148 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:48,240 comes to any vibe I talk about. The pros of giving is yes, you're doing the right God giving thing, 149 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:54,480 you're doing what you feel in your heart and your soul and your spirit that is right. You're doing 150 00:15:54,480 --> 00:16:01,520 what you told yourself you will do. You're doing it because that's what you want to do. Now the 151 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:06,240 cons of when it comes to giving also at times to like I said, when it comes to money, depending on 152 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:11,680 the amount of money you give a person and you looking forward back in return, sometimes it's 153 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:16,160 like your shit out of luck because it's like, you know, like I said, if you know this person, 154 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,040 real good, and they telling you, oh, yeah, I'm gonna give it to you on the first and give it to you on 155 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:26,400 the 15 and give it to you on the 18 and they know what to be found. You have to like after the third, 156 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,240 after the third strike, you know, after the third, I'm gonna give it to you. I'm gonna give you just 157 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:35,040 let it go. This is good. Let's let it go and just have in your mind like I gave this to you out of 158 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:40,400 the kindness of my heart or because you needed it. So I'm gonna let it go. I had the moments in my life, 159 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:45,120 you know, where I was like, okay, I'm gonna give you the money, but are you gonna give it back? 160 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:51,600 But sometimes I'm like, you know what, depending on how much it is, I don't want it back. Anything 161 00:16:51,600 --> 00:17:00,720 over 50 or maybe that bad. Anything under it is like, okay, probably between 40. Okay. 162 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:10,480 Okay. Let you slide. But over the back 2010, it's whatever, you know, it's you can keep it, you 163 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:17,360 know. So yeah, like I say, you know, it's holiday time. Be careful out here. It's holiday time. 164 00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:23,520 You're giving but you don't want to give but too much, you know, don't don't don't give too much 165 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:28,240 because you know, some people bite what is, you know, they bite too much. They, you know, 166 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:34,880 don't bite too much. You can't chew and handle, you know, that is like when it just comes to giving 167 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:42,080 y'all, I'm so big on it because it's like, no matter how much money, amount of money, I don't 168 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:47,440 care. Sometimes the amount of money can't really give happiness. And I say that all the time, 169 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,160 like when I see a lot of things happen on and happen in the world, especially in my black community, 170 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:57,120 like when something happened to one of us in the black community and the government and all 171 00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:02,720 these people always trying to give us six dollars, millions and millions of dollars, that's not going 172 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:09,440 to bring back a person. That's not going to give me any type of justice. You're giving me money for 173 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:18,720 what? For hurt? For pain? Depression? What is what? And I always like, and I always read it and I 174 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,040 always question myself like, why is these people giving these people these money? This is not 175 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:29,040 the money. What am I getting? What am I gaining out of you giving me this money? What are you 176 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:35,360 gaining? What are these people gaining when you're giving them this money? What is it going to do? 177 00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:42,320 It's not going to bring back that person they lost. It's not going to bring any type of clarification 178 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:51,600 or clarity of what's been going on, you know? So it's like giving is like a give and take. It's 179 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:57,280 like sometimes it's a tricky game you play with. When you be a given person, you do all that you 180 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:03,520 can. People look at you like I say, I look at y'all as heroes because it takes a lot out of a person 181 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:08,960 to give. Like me and the type of person that give you the shirt off my bag. But like I said, 182 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:15,920 you cannot just give all the time sometimes because people will give and take. And that's 183 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,000 a really tricky, especially around holiday time. You really got to build your peace and cubes when 184 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:28,400 it comes to giving. But I always try to find that light at the end of the tunnel. I always try to 185 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:34,480 find the good within every situation because when you always doubt with the bad at every situation, 186 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:40,880 it's like you don't want to keep, you don't want to go through that. You don't want to keep doing 187 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:47,280 that, you know? You don't want to keep going through those type of issues like, oh my gosh, 188 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:53,760 I gave, I gave it then. Every time I gave, they always want something in return from me. Like 189 00:19:53,760 --> 00:20:01,120 it's like why? And I always think, you know what? Like I said, you never know what situation is 190 00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:05,760 going on because there's another thing to do. People will fake it till they make it. You know, 191 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:13,360 sometimes you got to have that, that poker face on and public behind closed doors, take that poker 192 00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:20,080 face off and it's like, damn. You know? So I say this to say, don't judge nobody even when it comes 193 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:27,120 to a situation. Sometimes it's like you cannot judge nobody within a situation, especially if you 194 00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:33,680 know them, you know them 100% well and you know something ain't right and they putting on this 195 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:38,240 poker face, you know what? Just give them the time and energy and whatever they need because 196 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,640 right now that's all they need, especially on this holiday time. You don't know what anybody's 197 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:48,480 going through. So if you feel like something ain't right and you feel like, okay, I need to see what's 198 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:56,720 going on, get a feel, get adjusted to it, do it, give it. If you got a, you know, it's a sacrifice 199 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:04,560 we have to make at times just to take a leap on faith, take a leap on seeing what's going on, 200 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:10,880 take a leap on giving. Because sometimes like I said, people be like, be like, I don't want to do 201 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,720 that. I don't want to do that. Maybe like, what's going on? What's up? What you need? I could give 202 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:21,360 you whatever you need, you know, certain stuff, certain stuff. You know, like when it comes to 203 00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:26,560 gifts, y'all, like every year when it comes to give, I tell the people that I get gifts or make me a 204 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:32,400 list or send me an exact picture. I could, I'm gonna do what I gotta do. But this is what you want. 205 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,720 And most of the time I really don't know nothing in return because I've had to see you happy. 206 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:43,840 That's all I want to see is you happy and that makes me happy. I'm giving you a gift and you're 207 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:52,960 giving me the reaction I want you to give me, you know, I want you to give me the same feeling that 208 00:21:52,960 --> 00:22:01,200 I'm giving you, such as when it comes to respect. When I talk to my respect, I see, look, we almost 209 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:08,160 to the new year and I can't wait to talk about that ever. So it's like, I'm gonna talk about this 210 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:13,040 one. I do the recap for the new year, you know, because that's coming next week. So stay tuned, 211 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,840 you know, next week, I'm gonna talk about, you know, wrap up how I felt. And yeah, 212 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,520 but yes, y'all, when it comes to this game we have called giving, 213 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:31,360 it's a lot of come with it. It's a lot of positivity. I'd rather talk about the positivity 214 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:39,680 more than the cons and the negativity of giving. Because like I said, I grew up in a household 215 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:46,960 where giving, you know, there's no option. Giving is one of the best things that you can give to 216 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:53,040 a person. Any with any amount of help you can give a person, do it. And if you know something that's 217 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:58,320 going on, do it. You know, but also, you know, be respectful and ask, you know, do you want to 218 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,520 help? But sometimes you just gotta be like, you know what, I'm gonna surprise you. Because like I 219 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:09,360 said, that's the best, that's the best reaction I'd rather receive is to give, bro, rather give 220 00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:15,120 than receive. I want to see you have that expression on your face when I give this 221 00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:19,760 or whatever you need, give whatever you need from me on campus, where is encouragement. 222 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:28,480 And if it's money or not, I want you to understand that I'm gonna give you what you need. And 223 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:35,120 long as you give me the outcome that I want to have, such as if I'm giving you something, 224 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:41,280 it's going to help you and it blesses you. You're giving me that because it's giving me a sign 225 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:50,160 that I helped you. And it gives me that type of power like dang, it makes your day that feeling 226 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:57,440 of doing your part, let alone being there for a person because you never know that might be you 227 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:05,120 one day, count your blessings every day, y'all, because you never know when this is your turn. 228 00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:10,800 And you don't want to be the type of person to look for help. But I'm telling you, you never 229 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:16,480 know who's watching and you never know who's out there willing to give to you. Trust me, 230 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:23,840 when I was younger, I was the type of person that never asked for help. Never. Sometimes until this 231 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:29,120 day, I'd be like, especially when it comes to money, be like, I'm not gonna ask nobody. But 232 00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:34,320 like I said, you never know who's there to help you. My parents is the ones that helped me. 233 00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:42,400 My backbones, everything, shout out to them because without them, I think I wouldn't have this mindset 234 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:48,080 of being the type of person that's kind of courteous, giving yourself like that. You know? 235 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:56,800 So with that being said, y'all, I wish y'all nothing but a happy holiday. Because like I said, 236 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:02,480 this is a mixture of the holidays, you know, this be giving y'all, you know, giving y'all a good 237 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:09,920 little message and also bringing in a little bit of giving, you know, to the Jackson's Five, 238 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:15,440 Give Love or Christmas Day. That's the song that kept playing through my head when I was going over 239 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,680 like what I'm going to talk about with y'all because I ain't gonna lie, y'all. I was gonna give 240 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,040 y'all a break. I was gonna say, it's Christmas time. I don't think they want to keep hearing 241 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:29,840 about me even. I was like, you know what, forget it. Let's just rock out, you know. So I was like, 242 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:34,560 I'm gonna do a twist with it, you know, impact giving with the holidays season because that's 243 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:39,600 where giving comes out the most, you know, during the year, beginning of the year, you give, but 244 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:44,800 this is the year where you got, I feel like you have to do your part. You got to give some type 245 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:51,680 of love, respect, some type of joy, some type of, you know, you got to give. Like I feel like 246 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:58,320 you just got to give something. Give love, give share memories, share happiness, share joy, 247 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:03,600 share love, give, even if it's not money or not, as long as you're giving something and you're 248 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:13,920 receiving that same giving feeling that you are expecting. So like I say, I wish y'all 249 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:20,560 all a nothing but the best. Happy holidays to all of y'all. Please stay safe out here and also 250 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:28,560 so please be careful because like I said, it is Christmas holiday time and it's about to be winter. 251 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:33,840 Like, oh my God, it's like, it's right on the real cold. So please bundle up. Please be safe out here. 252 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:39,920 Please do your part within everything you can. Please stay on your P's and Q's and as always, 253 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:50,720 you beautiful people will hear from me next Wednesday at 5.30 p.m. on all platforms. Apple 254 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:57,920 Park has our heart radio, Amazon, Google, YouTube, and I'm forgetting something I know, 255 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:05,040 but it's gonna come to me probably after I finish this. So yes, peace of blessings to all y'all. 256 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,760 I wish y'all nothing but a happy holidays and y'all will hear from me before that new year, 257 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:35,280 before we get into the new year, okay?
