I got some clothes and remarks for you. I've thought about this and so in this new year, I want to remind people because we you know, most of us are good people, are trying to become better people, are you know, doing the best we can. So we have to be considerate of others. But this year, I want you to be careful in your consideration of others. Don't ignore yourself. And I'm talking especially to women, because women, you are you are about the nurturing of so many people. To true you're the the fixer when it comes to feelings, emotions, and you make sure everybody's okay, and sometimes you ignore yourself.
I want you to beware of that.
But I'm talking to men too, because I do so much for other people, but sometimes I forget to take our time for myself. So this is for everybody, but I'm especially talking to women. Be very, very aware in this upcoming year of people who lay the most useless emotion of them all on you, which is guilt. If you think about the emotion of guilt, it's the most useless emotion that we have because it only serves one person, and that's the person applying the guilt, who's using it as a form of manipulation. Oh so you don't forgot where you come from. I remember when you used to help me. You know, I know you got it.
Man.
You sit over there, man, God and bless you with everything, and you just don't you don't remember us. Man, Man, stop stop. You really are not my obligation.
You're really not. You're really really not. You know.
A funny thing happened recently. I had to release somebody, and the conversation I had I had to release them. It was a very fair I had given this person ample opportunity and many chances, but in releasing the person, I still gave them a wonderful out. But you know what the person told me. What am I going to do now? He said, mister Harvey, you don't understand what it's like. And I'm just looking at him and I'm trying to figure out what it is that's happening in your life that you think I have no awareness of a new experience in And he said to me, even with this severance package you're giving me and the ability to work in other areas of your company, I would not have signed my new lease had I known this.
I said, wait a minute. Man, Hold, I don't know when your lease is up.
I don't know when, Lisa, But you still have work, you still have opportunities, you still have jobs. And so he just continued to try to make me feel guilty about a decision I had made when clearly you were no longer servicing your end of the bargain the way you could. But now, all of a sudden, what am I gonna do? Well? I got to think it too. What do I do when they cancel my TV shows?
Now? Nobody give me no notice.
I just come to work one day and they tell me show gone.
I got to deal with it.
I came to work one day and they told me Little Big Shots is gone and your talk show gone, and just walked away out of my face, no warning, no nothing. I remember in two thousand and five, Shirley and Tommy was with me when they told me I lost my TV show and then my radio show in the same month. I had no entertainment contracts at all, and they just told me it's a rap.
So what am I going? I don't know.
I don't know what you're gonna do, but you better go to work and fix it. And I still gave him out, but they were trying to make me feel guilty. No more, no, no, no, no, that's not how this works anymore. Listen, be considerate of others, others, but don't ignore yourself.
Remember what you do. See I tell people all the time, if you didn't have my number, what would you do? Well get to doing that then.
See, you ain't got to feel guilty because somebody got access to you. Having access to you don't mean they should have total access to you. Just because you know my number. Don't give you an end with me. In every aspect of your life. You are not responsible for the life of other people. Because when you get in trouble, when you and your husband or your family get in the situation, who you got to call Probably nobody. So stop being the one that's always made to feel like you owe them, you owe somebody, cause you don't. You don't people. Take some time out for yourself in twenty twenty five. Get yourself a hobby that you enjoy doing. You want to go down there and take a spin class. You want to go down there and take yoga. You want to go down there and do breath work, Go down there and do it. You want to go sit in therapy. Go down there and do it. You want to set up a tea with your girlfriends every Wednesday evening, go do it. You want to have a card night on Saturdays, go do it. Man, Go enjoy your life and stop allowing people to make you feel as though you owe them when clearly they have made a conscious decision not to owe you anything. You ever gave somebody some money and they ain't give it back and then they come back for some more that ever happened to you? I bet it has gave them some money, they didn't pay it back and came back for some more.
What man like? I said?
Oh this dude on Instagram, he said, you must think I'm some new kind of stupid.
Well, you can do something to me.
Let some time go by, think I'm gonna forget it, and you come back to me like a nothing happened. You must think I'm some new kind of stupid. Well in twenty twenty five, stop being that.
