Speaker 1: Hey, Hey, I'm bad with something for you.
Speaker 2: To think about. Instant gratification comes at a cost.
Speaker 1: It comes at a cost. What people fail to understand
Speaker 1: is you may get what you want for that moment,
Speaker 1: but you gotta carry it out around.
Speaker 2: Some of you don't understand the power that you give
Speaker 2: for the instant gratification. You just don't understand it. What
Speaker 2: do I mean? Listen, When you know that.
Speaker 1: You're in a relationship with someone, let that be enough.
Speaker 1: If that is not enough for you, you are a problem.
Speaker 1: You are your problem. If you're in a relationship with
Speaker 1: ship with someone and that person is not enough for you,
Speaker 1: something is wrong with you.
Speaker 2: You need to heal from something. So many of you
Speaker 2: go and you're.
Speaker 1: Seeking that instant gratification, but it's always coming at a price.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's with your life. Sometimes it's the life of
Speaker 1: the other person. Sometimes it's at your you know, the
Speaker 1: cost of your health because you get involved with somebody
Speaker 1: because you're trying to have that instant gratification and they
Speaker 1: have HIV or something, syphilis, gonna read or something, and
Speaker 1: now you're dealing with this disease.
Speaker 2: He's the rest of your life.
Speaker 1: Because you wanted the instant gratification. This may sound far fetched,
Speaker 1: but it's reality. Some of you get with people you
Speaker 1: don't know, and you mess around and get them soul
Speaker 1: ties or them demons attached to you, and you don't
Speaker 1: even realize what you've done.
Speaker 2: You don't realize what.
Speaker 1: You've opened yourself up to for their instant gratification. Many
Speaker 1: of you risk.
Speaker 3: You risk your health, you risk your careers, you risk
Speaker 3: your marriages, you risk your relationships with your significant others.
Speaker 2: Offer that self gratification when.
Speaker 1: You should not be seeking no self gratification with no
Speaker 1: one else. If you're in a relationship, you just shouldn't.
Speaker 1: When you think about being with someone else, you.
Speaker 2: Need to.
Speaker 1: Instantly, instantly be aware of what you're thinking and maintain
Speaker 1: self control. Temperaments.
Speaker 2: You must maintain self control. That's what temperance is, self control.
Speaker 2: You must. But see what people do is oh they
Speaker 2: see him.
Speaker 1: Oh, oh if they see her, Oh I got to
Speaker 1: have her.
Speaker 2: No, No, you don't.
Speaker 1: No, you don't stop looking for self gratification, instant gratification
Speaker 1: when you already have someone.
Speaker 2: Your mind shouldn't ever even go there.
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's an old flame. I don't
Speaker 1: care if it's an X. I don't care.
Speaker 2: You should not go there.
Speaker 1: And when your mind think on things like that, you're
Speaker 1: the one who need to think about something else. Don't
Speaker 1: just waddle in it, don't just ponder over it, don't
Speaker 1: steal in it. You need to think about something else.
Speaker 1: Instant gratification has cost people their lives. People are dead
Speaker 1: in their grades because they wanted that instant gratification. And
Speaker 1: it's not all about sex, but it's about all types
Speaker 1: of things.
Speaker 2: You want that quick fix. People have chased that when
Speaker 2: it comes to drugs and things like that, only to
Speaker 2: that one time too many and boom took them right out,
Speaker 2: dead and gone.
Speaker 1: Sad to say, but I know someone who that happened to,
Speaker 1: dead and gone, because you know, you can do stuff
Speaker 1: so many times to try to get that instant gratification,
Speaker 1: and then you do it one time too.
Speaker 2: Many and boom, you're out of here.
Speaker 1: Many people have gone out that way, found dead.
Speaker 2: Oded.
Speaker 1: I mean, people have to think about the things that
Speaker 1: they do, the risk, the unnecessary risk that they take.
Speaker 1: It's not worth it.
Speaker 2: It's not worth it at all.
Speaker 1: Some people do it for fame and fortune, trying to
Speaker 1: get that quick money, trying to get that quick success,
Speaker 1: end up losing everything that you have because you fell
Speaker 1: into a scam, a trap trying to get that quick fix.
Speaker 1: Some of you have gotten into satanic things, satanic satanic
Speaker 1: how have you said?
Speaker 2: Witchcraft and darkness.
Speaker 1: Because you're trying to get that quick fix, only to.
Speaker 2: Go down a path that you was not ready for.
Speaker 2: There have been people who.
Speaker 1: Work in the military, and I know plenty who are
Speaker 1: still in the military.
Speaker 2: Right now, who have done things with foreign countries for
Speaker 2: that quick buck.
Speaker 1: And now many are seven prison terms or many are
Speaker 1: on their way if they're found out.
Speaker 2: I mean so many things, so many.
Speaker 1: Things people try to do for that quick fix, only
Speaker 1: to find themselves in trouble, in bad situations with bad people. See,
Speaker 1: trouble is pretty easy to get into, but boy oh boy,
Speaker 1: it's hard to get out of.
Speaker 2: And once you take that risk, once you really take
Speaker 2: that chance, there's.
Speaker 1: No telling what the outcome is gonna be, especially when
Speaker 1: it comes to your relationships and your marriages. There's no
Speaker 1: telling because you may be with someone who says, listen,
Speaker 1: I told you in the beginning that if you ever
Speaker 1: did this, what I was gonna do, And it's exactly
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 2: So. You can't look.
Speaker 1: At anyone other than yourself when you know you're doing
Speaker 1: something that you should not be doing.
Speaker 2: You know, I've told you so many times. I'm playing Jane.
Speaker 1: I may not look the part, but that's me. I'm
Speaker 1: playing Jane. And you can't talk me into doing wrong.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not that good, You're not that sweet.
Speaker 1: You could not talk me into doing wrong. I mean, why,
Speaker 1: what reason on.
Speaker 2: Earth will I want to do wrong? No reason? But
Speaker 2: most people are not like that.
Speaker 1: If you make it sound good enough, people are fall
Speaker 1: for it.
Speaker 2: People will fall for it, you know.
Speaker 1: I was having a conversation with my good friend and
Speaker 1: we were talking about and I may have mentioned this
Speaker 1: before on an episode, but we were talking about celibacy
Speaker 1: and he had his little things to say, which he
Speaker 1: always make me laugh. But he was telling me how
Speaker 1: he's met so many women who have told him that
Speaker 1: they're celibate. You know, they believe in God and their
Speaker 1: godly and all of this, he said.
Speaker 2: And as soon as.
Speaker 1: He starts talking sweet, really sweet to them.
Speaker 2: Because they know what they like to hear, he say,
Speaker 2: the clothes.
Speaker 1: Come off, and he's thinking in his head, well, I
Speaker 1: thought you was celibrating, you was all of this and
Speaker 1: all of that. But he said, as soon as he
Speaker 1: make it sound good, the clothes come off. Which it's crazy,
Speaker 1: it's crazy, but.
Speaker 2: They just go to show you.
Speaker 1: So many people walking around don't even know who they are.
Speaker 1: They don't because they go to the left, lead to
Speaker 1: the right, lead backwards, lead for whatever sounds good, whatever
Speaker 1: feels good, whatever looks good.
Speaker 2: No roots, whatsoever, No roots, no roots.
Speaker 1: People just chasing the flesh, They chasing instant gratification, They
Speaker 1: chasing self gratification in some way, some form or another,
Speaker 1: and all it does is just leads you into trouble,
Speaker 1: leads you into chaos, drama, conflict, dealing with people in
Speaker 1: all of that shenanigans because a lot of time, that
Speaker 1: instant gratification, or that that gratification of the flesh or
Speaker 1: whatever it is, oftentimes it lends you into deep and
Speaker 1: treacherous water, you knowing you can't even you cannot even
Speaker 1: dog pedal, you definitely can't tread water, and you find
Speaker 1: yourself in the deep end because you were chasing that
Speaker 1: self gratification. People in this world have robbed banks, stolen carjacked,
Speaker 1: all kind of foolishness for that quick fix, quick self gratification,
Speaker 1: trying to get that quick money.
Speaker 2: It's not worth it. Get up off of your butt
Speaker 2: and work for what you want.
Speaker 1: Instead of trying to take what don't belong to you,
Speaker 1: what somebody else have worked hard for it. Get off
Speaker 1: of your butt and work for what you want. I
Speaker 1: don't care if you have to sweep the sidewalks. I
Speaker 1: don't care if you have to knock on someone door
Speaker 1: and say, hey, do you need anything done. I'll take
Speaker 1: out your trash. I'll do this, I'll do that. Do something.
Speaker 1: You don't have to steal. I guarantee you anybody in
Speaker 1: this world, I guarantee you somebody.
Speaker 2: Will help you.
Speaker 1: If you say you're hungry, somebody will feed you. If
Speaker 1: you need something to drink, somebody will give it to you.
Speaker 1: If you need clothing, somebody will give it to you.
Speaker 1: If you need shelter, somebody will give it to you.
Speaker 2: You don't have to steal, you don't have to lie
Speaker 2: in cheap.
Speaker 1: You just gotta do something, Do something positive, work for
Speaker 1: what you want. Sometimes people set their goals way too high.
Speaker 2: You didn't come out.
Speaker 1: The womb walking or running. You didn't even come out
Speaker 1: the womb crawling. So you have to take baby steps
Speaker 1: to get to where you want, and it don't feel good.
Speaker 1: Sometimes the things we have to do it don't always
Speaker 1: feel good, but sometimes it's necessary.
Speaker 2: You know, you have to have.
Speaker 1: Those little cobblestones on your path to whatever it is
Speaker 1: you're seeking.
Speaker 2: But you have to be willing to do it the
Speaker 2: right way, not the wrong way.
Speaker 1: Stop seeking self gratification and quick fixes and things of
Speaker 1: that nature. Work for what you want, and sometimes it
Speaker 1: may be a job that you really don't like or
Speaker 1: want to do, but it's necessary to get to that
Speaker 1: next level. You can always do something. You never have
Speaker 1: to steal, connived, lie cheap to get anything. So this
Speaker 1: topic covers a plethora of things. It's so many things
Speaker 1: that could fall under this subject here, so many. That's
Speaker 1: why again I will say, know yourself, Know who you
Speaker 1: are as a person, Know exactly who you are as
Speaker 1: a person. When you know you, other people can't sway
Speaker 1: to you one way or the other.
Speaker 2: They can't.
Speaker 1: They cannot sway you one way or the other. Because
Speaker 1: you are rooted, you.
Speaker 2: Stand in firmly. But when you don't know who you are,
Speaker 2: and you really don't love yourself.
Speaker 1: You have not matured to that person that you should be.
Speaker 2: People can come alone, pluck you right up.
Speaker 1: Because you have no route, and you will go wherever
Speaker 1: it sounds good, looks good, feels good. And unfortunately many
Speaker 1: people are in that position because they're trying to get
Speaker 1: quick fixes or instant gratification, or you know, seeking some
Speaker 1: type of self gratification.
Speaker 2: Those who are doing it for sex. It's because of
Speaker 2: you in your mindset. Something got you in the position
Speaker 2: that you are in.
Speaker 1: Something happened to you in your life for you to
Speaker 1: think that way that you're not satisfied. Nothing is never enough,
Speaker 1: No one is never enough for you. You gotta seek
Speaker 1: more and more and more and more. That's because of
Speaker 1: who you are as a person. That's why I said,
Speaker 1: I just wish people would just get sick and.
Speaker 2: Tired of their own mess.
Speaker 1: And make a change for the better, because you have
Speaker 1: every opportunity to do so. Every day that you get
Speaker 1: to live is an opportunity to become better. Every day
Speaker 1: that you get to live is an opportunity to choose
Speaker 1: to grow every day, every single day, every day. Most importantly,
Speaker 1: it's an opportunity to.
Speaker 2: Choose Jesus.
Speaker 1: And it's a choice. But I'm just telling you, every
Speaker 1: day you live, he gave us that opportunity. God did,
Speaker 1: and every day we got an opportunity to choose his
Speaker 1: son Jesus. But I always tell you, if you don't
Speaker 1: want to choose Jesus, at least choose yourself. Stop running
Speaker 1: a monk, seeking and looking and chasing for things and
Speaker 1: everybody else that you lack. That's why many people are
Speaker 1: not becoming better, because they are remaining the same. And
Speaker 1: I all always say it to the grain because it's
Speaker 1: the truth.
Speaker 2: It's the truth. It is the truth.
Speaker 1: Self gratification comes at a cost every time, and the
Speaker 1: price that some of you pay it is not worth it.
Speaker 2: At all at all.
Speaker 1: But you gotta get to that level of understanding and
Speaker 1: that level of maturity to grasps what I'm saying. You
Speaker 1: have to change you. You are your worst enemy, your
Speaker 1: worst problem. You not the other person. You by how
Speaker 1: you think, what you allow and accept in your life.
Speaker 1: And you know what, That's all I'm saying on it.
Speaker 1: I'm leaving it right there. Thank you for listening. Please
Speaker 1: share this episode, check out all of my episodes and share.
Speaker 2: I appreciate you highly. I end every episode the same,
Speaker 2: and I hope you do it, think on it,
