  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 0:00
  Speaker 2: Do your thing, Big Daddy. Uh-huh. I sure will. Good morning, everybody.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Y'all listening to The Voice. Come on, dig me now.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: what an amazing blessing God has given me. My health,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: my dreams, all of it, God gave it to me.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I accept it. I work hard, but man, oh, man, oh, man,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I work hard is something that he gave me a gift.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: And that's what I want to talk to you about today,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: because God has gifted everyone. So I can't help but
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: believe it. You are gifted in some way, something about you.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: It's special and unique. That doesn't mean you're the only
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: one that can sing or you're the only one that
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: can write or you're the only one that can draw.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: You're the only one that can decorate or you're the
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: only one that can network or you're the only one.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: That's not what it means.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Or you have a great scientific mind or you can
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: figure things out or you're good at problem solving. You're
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: not the only one, but you are a unique individual.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Nobody will travel the exact path that you are on.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Nobody will have everything happen in a series of circumstances
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: in the order that you're going to have it happen
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to you.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: That's what I mean when I say that you are unique.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: But now, because you are gifted, you know, you have
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: something you have to do. You know, there's a scripture.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: It's in Proverbs, Proverbs 18 and 16. I've been trying
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to be a little bit better at that for you,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: you know. So when I have an idea and I
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: know where it is, I have somebody look the scripture
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: up for me and hand it to me. So it's
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: in Proverbs 18, 16, and this is the layman's term
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: of it. It says a man's gift make room for
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: him and brings him before great men. It is your
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: gift that will make room for you. Now, my interpretation
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: of this is this. Now, I could be wrong. Please
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: go to your local church, synagogue, temple, mosque, whatever you do,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and go get clarification. But what my gift has done
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: in making room for me, is I've taken it almost
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: in the literal sense. My gift has actually made room
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: for me. It has cleared paths for me. My gift
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: has opened up doors for me. That's what I've taken
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: as it'll make room for you. My gift has broadened
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: my ability to travel. My gift has opened my eyes
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: to fashion. My gift has caused me to be able
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to I'll provide for my family. My gift has caused
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: me to be able to reach more people. That's what
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I'm saying in terms of it will make room for you.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: There may be another interpretation. I'm just telling you how
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I took it. That has worked out pretty good for
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: me to that understanding. But I'm pretty sure Bishop Jakes,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Joel Osteen, Kenneth Olmer, you know, got Glenn Staples, Bishop
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Glenn Staples. These guys give you a much better understanding
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: of it. I'm just giving it to you, you know,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: where I know how. So, yeah.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I just like to keep it right there. But and
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: then it says that it brings you before great men.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's going to take you places.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: It's going to take you places you never thought of going.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: You're going to meet people because of your gift. I
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: told my son who two of them are good photographers.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: You'll be taking pictures of great men. And then I
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: mess with him. You already take pictures of your daddy.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm messing with him like that. But that's
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: just me. And I'm just kicking it. But, you know,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: but one day, who knows? You could be shooting the president.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: You know, you could be shooting some foreign dignitaries. You know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you could be shooting great sport events. You know, you
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: never know where it could take you. But that's your gift.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: What you got to do is you got to get
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: to moving, though. See, you can't have your gift and
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: not do nothing with it. See, you know what that
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: reminds me of? It's something that my father used to say.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Get up off your butt because you sitting on a
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: gold mine. He say that all the time. Boy, get
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: up off your butt and move it because you sitting
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: on the gold mine. I never really quite got that
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: when I was little, but now that I'm an adult,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I got it full well. See, a lot of you
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: are sitting. You're sitting on a talent or a gift
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: that you have. You're sitting on an ability. I don't
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: care if it's making cakes or pies. That's a gift, man.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: That's a talent. I don't care if it's the ability
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to do hair. That's a gift, man. Half of you
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: are gifted. A lot of us are gifted and we
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: sitting on it. Looking at other people wondering, what can
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I do to make it? You already got something to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: make it with. If you would just get up off
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: your behind, man, quit sitting on that gold mine.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Some of you are tech savvy.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Just a whiz is when it comes to engineering and
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: putting stuff together and cables and wires and computers and stuff.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: And now you steady looking around trying to figure out, man,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: wonder what I.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Can go do. How about you go do that? You know, this,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: it ain't that hard, man.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: If you would just take note of what God has
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: given you already, he has given you a gift already.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: He has already given you a talent.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Now, the fact that you ain't using it and you
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: sitting on your tail somewhere, what not now, who fathers,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: what are we talking about? Well, what, what you, you
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: blaming God for that? Man, I tell you what, I
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: sit around people all the time who are gifted and
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at their gifts and they steady complaining about
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: what they don't have, but will not get up off
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: their behind and use the gifts that God gave them.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: And it's frustrating.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: It's got to be frustrating for you if you're doing
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: it because it's frustrating for me when I see it.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: So when these people come to me and ask me
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: for help, I just keep going the same.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Thing over and over. Help yourself. Man, do for you.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Use your gift.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: It's a cat sitting behind the wall right now that's
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: locked up that's so good at artistry.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: This cat's in there tattooing everybody. Man, get out.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Do it the right way. Quit selling drugs, man. You
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: ain't going nowhere selling no drugs. You're going to jail.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: And if that don't do it, somebody going to get
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: tired of you selling drugs because they're going to want
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to sell them over there and they're going to kill you.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Let's just keep this thing real for just a second here.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Come on, man.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Get up off your butt because you're sitting on a
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: gold mine. And you sit up here. Somebody always looking
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: for a shortcut to the top. Ain't no shortcut. Somebody
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: told me this the other day, man.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: The road to success is always under construction. It ain't paved.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: It's got detour signs on it. It's got slow men working.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Sometimes they flip the stop sign. You got to sit
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: there and wait. Sometimes they got slow. There's traffic. There's accidents.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Somebody on the road holding up things with a flat
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: tire is nails is gravels. This spike is everything. The
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: road to success is always under construction. It ain't getting
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: ready to be easy just because you done decided to
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: do it. But don't sit around on your behind and
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: complain all the time about what you don't have. My

  Speaker 1: You got a talent. You got something that you can
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: do that could make a way for you. But you
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: won't do it. It is within you. Stop looking around.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Here's where people waste the most time on the road
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to success. looking around at somebody else, trying to figure out, man,
• 7:24
