Because you got... you've got to get control of this.

You actually can control what this does.

No one else is in charge.

If the devil is in charge, it's because you gave him permission.

You allowed him in.

If God is operating up there, it's because you gave him permission.

You allowed him in.

It's a very... listen to me, it's not a magic trick, man.

If you want to be successful, you have to get control of this.

Like I was telling her earlier, look, you can eradicate negative thinking from your life.

Now it's not gonna say you not gonna ever have a negative thought.

That's not human.

I have them, but I don't have them nowhere near as frequent as I used to 'cause I learned what they are, how they work.

I get rid of them, I don't have time for you.

I'm on a positive track.

I got things I'm trying to accomplish.

I'm trying to be successful and I'm trying to be happy.

If you're trying to be successful or happy, you have no room for negativity.

The best way to mask yourself from negativity every morning is to start with gratitude.

I'm telling you man, it's a very simple process.

There are some books that you can buy.

There's Norman Vincent Peale's "The Power of Positive Thinking" -- it's a very old book.

It's only in paperback.

It's called "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale.

I read this book when I was 20.

It started the process to changing my life.

Then I read a book called "The Magic of Thinking Big".

It's by David Schwartz.

This just trains you how to think big.

You know, it doesn't take any more brain power to think big than it does small.

Big thinking gets rid of negativity.

Dreams and visions gets rid of negativity.

But you gotta remember man, that you operate.

When you pray, God ain't the only one hear the prayer.

The devil is listening, too.

So his job is to dissuade you, his job is to keep you off track.

Devil ain't got but one job.

He don't want you to be successful.

He don't want you to discover your dream,

He don't want you talking to God.

So he get busy, he get busy.

He busy man, he send people your way all the time.

He all over the Internet, he all over social media.

The devil got imps, he got people working for him all the time.

All they do is just do what he say.

Say something funky about her.

But you can control this part.

Now, what you cannot do is bury yourself by using your success compared to other people.

See, because here's the danger.

Let me teach you this.

Success is not how far you've got.

'Cause see, you're gonna be disappointed all the time.

'Cause somebody always further than you.

So now you'll forever be disappointed.

Success ain't how far you got.

Success is how far you've got from where you started.

That's your success.

That's yours.

You can be successful.

But if you constantly looking at somebody else, if I look at Oprah money, I start feeling bad about me.

Cause I ain't got Oprah money, Oprah got billion dollars.

I don't have nowhere near no billion dollars.

But you mean to tell me that I ain't smart enough to go.

"Steve, you used to stutter, you couldn't talk outside your house."

"Steve, you flunked out of school."

"Steve, you don't have a degree."

"Steve, you lost everything twice."

"Steve, you've been homeless and you lived in a car."

See, I did all that.

Oprah ain't done none of that.

So my success ain't from where I am, it's from where I started.

So guess what?

I'm a successful person.

Now, that's all to it.
