  Speaker 1: Come on, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: you all listening to the voice, come on, dig me now,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: old Man, oh Man symbolizes just one thing to me. Man,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: It's just a constant remind of exactly how good God
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: has been to me over the years. And I'm thank
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: him for it too, because I realize every day that
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I wake up that I would be nothing without him.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: That everything I am, that's any good in me, I
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: owe to him. Now. Have I made some mistakes along
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the way? Yep, bunches, bunches and bunches. And will I
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: continue to make mistakes along the way? Yep? Not as many,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: hopefully as I have in the past, because a lot
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: of stuff I know better now. But you're still going
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to make mistakes now, you know. Hopefully I've limited the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: amount of intentional errors in my life. I've wiped quite
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: a few of those out, but from time to time,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: because we're human, we're going to make a mistake every
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: now and then. The trick, what it is, y'all, is
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: not to let the devil deceive you into thinking that
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: once you make that mistake that that's it. You can't
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: do it. And you falling off the wagon, you can't
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: reboard it. That's the biggest trick that he uses. He
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: makes you think that if you keep stumbling, that you
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: can't run the race. It kind of reminds me of
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a marathon runner. From time to time, I watch them
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: on TV, and you'll see some people who finish the race,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: you know, in a nice pace. You see people finish
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the race sprinting towards the finished line. But every now
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and then you'll watch a marathon and you'll see a
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: runner and the runner is in really, really bad shape.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: The key is they finish the race. See, you don't
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: get disqualified in the marathon because you stumble, You don't.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: They don't. They don't take your opportunity to finish the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: race because you keep falling. That's not the key. The
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: key is finishing. And a lot of times what the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: devil does is he makes you think that because you
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: keep stumbling, because you're swaying from side to side, that
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you know you out the race. Well, that's not the case.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And see and then this thing called life, let me
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: help you understand something. Everybody falls, Nobody sprints to the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: tape in this one, nobody just runs free and clear.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: That as some people running faster than you and all
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: like this, and some people gonna get to the end
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: before you let them go ahead. And when the end come,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the end come. I ain't in a rush. You get
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: to the end. But in this race, though, when you're
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: stumbling and you're falling, it's a part of it. No
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: one gets through this race without stumbling and falling, swaying
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: from side to side. So don't let the enemy to
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: see you in the thinking that it's over. I try
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to be encouraging to people because I don't want people
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to get stuck on this thing, you know. And my
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: walk is very different from a lot of people's walks.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: And then I know a lot of people who walking
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: in faith the way I'm walking in faith. But my
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: thing in the morning is just to remind those that
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: is not a perfect walk man, that it's not something
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that's set up where you're gonna be skipping through life
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: scott free without any pitfalls. You know. I keep saying
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: it over and over and over again, because, like I said,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: when I was in DC, my boy Hondo said this
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: to me, and it just kind of stuck with me
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: that the road to construct the road to successes. Always
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the construction. You have to figure and count on the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: setbacks and the pitfalls. But it's those people that that
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: that that are that fight through will be the victors
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: in the end. You cannot give up, man, Stop going
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: somewhere and sitting down every time something goes down. It's
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: going to go down. It's a part of it. It's
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: going to happen. It's going to occur that are going
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to be setbacks. If you go and sit down every
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: time there's a setback, that's not how this works. It
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: is designed that way. If success were easy, everybody would
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: be successful. But success is just reserved for those who
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: are willing to fight through, who refuse to settle for mediocrity,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: who wants something more. Now, don't get me wrong. Success
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: is defined by each individual. So what I may consider
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to be successful, you may not consider that. You know
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: what Bill Gates considered successful. I might not consider what
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Michael Jordan considered successful. I might not consider what you
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: consider successful. Your boss might not consider. You have to
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: define what that is for yourself. It may not be
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: monetary at all. You know, your level of success could
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: be tied up in community service. It could be tied
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: up in family, It could be tied up in the church.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Your level of success could be tied up into boys clubs,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: It could be any number of things. Whatever your level
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: of success is, you have to determine what that is
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: you and the best way to determine that is to
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: get in touch with your maker, who created you, to
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: find out what your mission and your purpose is so
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: he can put you on track. I just had this
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: conversation with my son and we were talking about getting
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: on the path that God has set up for you.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: So many times we find ourselves fighting through life because
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: of so much uncertainty, because we have no idea where
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: we're headed. It's like one of my sayings that I
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: have at my mentoring camp for boys is is that
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: a boy without a male role model is like an
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: explorer without a map. See if you don't have a
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: map laid out in front of you of where you're
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: going when you wake up every day. That pretty much
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: explains the feeling of confusion, the lasadaisical attitude, the lack
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: of purpose, to not understanding your mission because you don't
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: have not gotten in touch with your creator to find
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: out exactly what your path in life is what are
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: you supposed to be doing? The more the moment you
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: can identify that is the moment that you get started
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: waking up with purpose, with the sense of direction. When
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: you kill the sense of I don't know what's next
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: or what to do. Now, there's going to be some
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: confusing moments no matter what happened, it's going to be
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: some uncertainty. But at least you'll know where you're going.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: So if you're tied, awaking up, feeling loss, abandon, confuse,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: don't know what to do, don't know what you're supposed
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to be doing, refer back to your maker because when
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: he created you, he had a plan for you. When
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: he created you, he had a path for you. Now
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: we've made some decisions to get off of both of those,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the mission and the path. But God can get you
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: right back on track. Do that today, Ask him what
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to be doing and listen. God has all
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the answers if you form the relationship okaying as the
