  Speaker 1: Come on your basic got uh huh, I sure will.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Good morning everybody you're listening to the voice, Come on
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: radio show. Man o man oh man. Wow. I think
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: about all the things God has done for me is
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: overwhelming at times. And I want everybody to have that
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: feeling and to sharing that feeling of completion and satisfaction.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: And the only reason I got this, and it's the
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: thousandth time I've said it, is because I formed a
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: relationship with my creator. Period. That's it. That's that's it.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you as anything else else. You know,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I've always had a strong work ethic. My father put
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that in me. My father's conversation with me growing up
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: was always constantly about work hard, don't be lazy, be
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: a man, do what you say you're gonna do. YadA YadA, YadA,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: YadA YadA. Man. I was so tired out of my
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: father at times. I was going, Man, what is with
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: this dude? Right here? Man, every time we have a conversation,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it's got to be about work. It's got to be about,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: you know, man, doing your best, trying hard, you know, working,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: being honest, do what you say you're gonna do, but
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: that was his mission. I can't tell you how much
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that now. I can't even I can't even
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: put it into words when I think about my old
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: man and what he was to me, and I just, man,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I'm so grateful for that balance I had in my life.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: And then my father was a fighter. He fought on
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the weekends. You know. My father used to come home
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: with his with his clothes toe off of him. He
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: put a fresh shirt on and he go back. My
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: mom used to talk about my father fighting all the time, slick,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: while you are always fighting. You know, a little bit
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: of that rubbed off on me too. You know that
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: kind of got into me and I didn't understand that either.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: But then on the same turn, my mother was a
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Sunday school teacher for forty years, so her conversation was
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: never about fighting or anything. It was all about love
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and understanding and doing another that you would have to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: do unto you. My mom was a Sunday school teacher,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: so I learned about faith. I had to go to
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Sunday school, prayer meeting, Bible study, young people meeting, choir rehearsal.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: You know, I was a church man so much I
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: was actually looking as that's got to be an alternative
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: to this, you know, I want, you know, and I
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: was a little kid even I was thinking at one
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: point maybe I ought to look in al because it's
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: got to be something cooler than this going on every day.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: It had got that crazy for me. But the balance
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: between those two people created who I am today. And
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I want you to understand that the things that you
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: are in your past have helped create who you are today.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: If you view it the right way, everything that has
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: happened to you in your past has happened to you
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: for a res and it's usually for the good if
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: you view it that way. But if you, on the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: other hand, are a type of person who can't move
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: forward because you are allowing your past to stop you
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: from having your future, then you, my friend, are doing
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: a disservice to your life. You are not honoring God's blessings.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: You are not taking advantage of the gain, knowledge, wisdom,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: and experience of your life. Example, if you are a
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: woman and you are always talking about a former relationship
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: what he did to me. If he had not did
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: this to me, I wouldn't be in this place today.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I thought I had a man. Now I ain't got
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: no man. Ahllah lah lah la lah. You know, he
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: came along and I was doing just swell. He just
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: came in and he just lied to me. He lied
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to me, nod. He did this to me. Then he cheated,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: then he left. All of that that you just saying
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: can very well be true. Have you thought that maybe
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: maybe somewhere in God's infinite wisdom, that he knew that
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: you had made a mistake in picking him anyway? Maybe
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: he knew you had made a mistake in saying yes
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: or I do to him anyway, or come on, move in?
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: And so what he did was based on your decision
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: now to say yes, I do, or come on, let's
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: move in together. That was your decision. You ain't go
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to him about this one. You made this decision based
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: on that decision, and all the negative things that started happening.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: He allowed you to get away from it. Now how
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: you got away from it, it's always not the choice
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: of ours. See, you stuck on the fact that he left,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: that he walked out. But let me share this with you.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: When he was there, how good was he to you?
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: How good was he for you? See? You got to
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: stare at You got to look at the blessing. The
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: blessing is. Now you are on your own. Now you
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: walk in your house. Ain't nobody in there with a
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: disruptive spirit. Now you go home. You could take your
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: clothes off, walk around like you want to. Now you
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: go home, you can sit down and look at TV
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: or catch your breath if you want to. Your kids
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: don't have to see y'all arguing all the time. Have
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: you looked at the blessing in it? But now if
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: you gonna keep looking at the negative, then guess what Now?
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Now you can't move forward because you keep allowing your
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: past to keep you from moving forward. If God has
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: brought you through it, why don't you move on from it? Look,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: you got through it. He gone, he ain't coming back.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: He got somebody else. So you gonna sit there and
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: just keep tripping couts? He gone and he got somebody else. Hey,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: pick yourself up. Thank God for the blessing. It didn't
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: feel like a blessing. Why you was going through it
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and all the pain of him leaving and the divorce
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and all that messed you up? Got it? When you
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: get through it, all of that, you ain't the first
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: one being left. You ain't the first one being divorced.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: You ain't the first one been in a bad relationship.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Pick yourself up, thank God for the blessing, and move
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: forward in your life, because maybe when you quit complaining,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: maybe you'll find out that God has something in store
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: for you that he wants you you to have, but
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: he can't give it to you if you ain't grateful.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: So God gives you a blessing, but because you don't
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: see it as a blessing, you ain't grateful for it. Now,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: guess what, You steady asking God to do something for you,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: but you ain't thanking him for what he's done for you,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: but you steady wanting him to do more. How does
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: that work? How does that work? Man? That he should
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: keep on giving you things when you ain't even working
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: with the stuff he done gave you. And I don't know.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: And I'm just using that one example. That could go
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: for me and too, vice versa, and so on and
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: so forth. I'm just using that as an example. Now,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: why I laid on that one so long? You have
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to take that over God, that's all just sat I
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: ain't pointing fingers a nobody in nothing because I've been
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: guilty on both sides of the coin. Who am I,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: But I'm just sharing with you what I had to do.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I had to learn to stop allowing my past to
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: interfere with my future. Steve Harvey Morning Show
