- 0:12Speaker 2: got a radio show. Yeah, man, what a blessing it is.
- 0:15Speaker 2: I can't even explain my whole life. My whole life
- 0:17Speaker 2: is a blessing. It really is, in spite of all
- 0:20Speaker 2: the things that's happened, contraa to having the appearances of
- 0:23Speaker 2: a blessing. As I look back on my life today,
- 0:27Speaker 2: it all happened for a reason. It all came together,
- 0:29Speaker 2: it tied together, and you know it's important. Man. I
- 0:33Speaker 2: think a lot of people that asked me about my
- 0:35Speaker 2: success and how I got here and how do I.
- 0:38Speaker 1: Attribute in what was the steps? I want to tell
- 0:41Speaker 1: you what it is. Now.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Listen to me before I get started. Please understand that
- 0:44Speaker 2: everything that I tell you is faith based. Everything that
- 0:48Speaker 2: I tell you is faith based. You can double check it.
- 0:50Speaker 2: You can go behind me. Whatever your faith is. If
- 0:52Speaker 2: you go back into the writings and your faith, it's
- 0:55Speaker 2: in there. It's in there.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Now.
- 0:57Speaker 2: I'm not telling you anything new. I'm not giving you
- 0:59Speaker 2: a new angle. I may give you a different way
- 1:01Speaker 2: of saying it. You know, maybe hearing it back to yourself.
- 1:04Speaker 2: But in essence, man, I really do know that I'm
- 1:07Speaker 2: not going to say anything that you may not have heard,
- 1:09Speaker 2: but I phrased it in a different kind of way.
- 1:12Speaker 2: And so this series this week, I want to talk
- 1:14Speaker 2: to you about how to make it kind of a
- 1:16Speaker 2: motivational series. And the first part, the most important component
- 1:21Speaker 2: of it in accomplishing what you want in your life
- 1:25Speaker 2: is you have to identify the dream.
- 1:28Speaker 1: This is the critical step.
- 1:30Speaker 2: A lot of people spend their life squandering and wandering
- 1:33Speaker 2: around because they never identify the dream.
- 1:37Speaker 1: You have to identify the dream.
- 1:38Speaker 2: You have to identify what it is that you want,
- 1:42Speaker 2: what it is that you hope for. You have to
- 1:45Speaker 2: have a goal in mind. You have to have a destination.
- 1:49Speaker 2: You know, when you go outside and put the key
- 1:51Speaker 2: in your car. You never go and put your key
- 1:53Speaker 2: in the car and just get in in and just drive,
- 1:56Speaker 2: you know, unless you're trying to clear your head or something.
- 1:58Speaker 2: But if you talk about going somewhere, you got to
- 2:01Speaker 2: have a destination. You gotta have somewhere you want to go,
- 2:04Speaker 2: or else you're just running around reburning gas. Where you're
- 2:07Speaker 2: going now, I don't know left here, right here, go here,
- 2:10Speaker 2: go there. You know you must identify the dream. The
- 2:14Speaker 2: dream is the single most important part of the component
- 2:17Speaker 2: to making the success out yourself. God can't bless what
- 2:20Speaker 2: you don't have. You can't get what you never give.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Identify the dream. What is it that burns inside you
- 2:26Speaker 2: so it keeps you awake at night? What is it, man,
- 2:29Speaker 2: that makes you smile when you think about it? What
- 2:32Speaker 2: is it, man that you can't seem to quite shape? Okay,
- 2:36Speaker 2: so you go to college, right, you make a decision,
- 2:38Speaker 2: which I disagree with you asking eighteen to a twenty
- 2:41Speaker 2: one year old to make a decision or what he
- 2:43Speaker 2: wants to do and what he wants to be with
- 2:44Speaker 2: the rest of his life.
- 2:45Speaker 1: That's tough because guess what.
- 2:47Speaker 2: This young person doesn't really know himself or herself yet.
- 2:50Speaker 2: So you're asking them to identify what it is at
- 2:53Speaker 2: an early age. What consequentially happens is that people get
- 2:58Speaker 2: older and they wind up doing something else. So you
- 3:00Speaker 2: get a degree and you find out what your passion
- 3:02Speaker 2: is with something else. See, identifying that dream as early
- 3:05Speaker 2: as you can is important. Now, whether you're young, or
- 3:08Speaker 2: whether you're or whatever, your whatever, your identity of the
- 3:11Speaker 2: dream is that's first. Now, what you have to do
- 3:15Speaker 2: then is if I were you. Here is the part
- 3:19Speaker 2: that people never seem to weld together with that dream,
- 3:22Speaker 2: that I want to be an astronaut, I want to
- 3:24Speaker 2: be a doctor, I want to be a club owner,
- 3:26Speaker 2: I want to be the DJ, I want to be
- 3:29Speaker 2: the ball player. I want to be a writer, I
- 3:32Speaker 2: want to be a whatever it is, it doesn't matter.
- 3:34Speaker 2: Somebody is that already, and somebody had it as a dream,
- 3:37Speaker 2: So it's no dream too big. Okay, Once you identify
- 3:41Speaker 2: the dream, here's the thing. The best way for that
- 3:43Speaker 2: to happen is that dream should be tied directly to
- 3:48Speaker 2: your God given gift or talent. See that's the part
- 3:52Speaker 2: that people miss. You see Halle Berry on TV and
- 3:55Speaker 2: you want you want to have on one of the
- 3:57Speaker 2: dresses on the red carpet, and you want to stand
- 3:59Speaker 2: there and get the awarding. You want to have the
- 4:00Speaker 2: same people who had to do your hair to do
- 4:02Speaker 2: Halle and who do Beyonce had. All that's good, All
- 4:05Speaker 2: that's good, man, But do you have the talent or
- 4:08Speaker 2: the gift to accomplish that? See, don't get outside your scope.
- 4:13Speaker 2: I wanted to play in the NBA when I was
- 4:15Speaker 2: eight years old. But something happened along the way. I
- 4:18Speaker 2: didn't have skill set. I discovered that when I ran
- 4:21Speaker 2: as fast as I could, the basketball was never with me.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Man, that's an important part of all. You know.
- 4:27Speaker 2: I could jump, but I normally didn't have a basketball.
- 4:31Speaker 2: So now see that passion and that dream of being
- 4:34Speaker 2: in the NBA was not tied to my gift. My
- 4:38Speaker 2: gift was when I was sitting there watching them play basketball.
- 4:42Speaker 2: I was the little dude leaning against the fence that
- 4:45Speaker 2: had a comment about.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Everything everybody did. That was it.
- 4:51Speaker 2: I was the commentator, the color commentator, and lord I
- 4:55Speaker 2: was funny. It was one of the few times I
- 4:58Speaker 2: didn't stutter when I was leading against the fish, talking trash.
- 5:01Speaker 2: But if you took me to school, you took me
- 5:03Speaker 2: to church, you took me in front of somebody, you
- 5:05Speaker 2: sent me to the store. Man, that stuttering just came
- 5:08Speaker 2: over the top of me. I couldn't do it. Remember
- 5:10Speaker 2: the first time I told somebody my dream is to
- 5:12Speaker 2: be on TV. Man, they laughed at me so hard
- 5:14Speaker 2: that they laughed me out the gym because I had
- 5:17Speaker 2: a stuttering problem.
- 5:18Speaker 1: So that caused me never to tell it again. The
- 5:21Speaker 1: best way to.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Accomplish your dream is you got to tie it to
- 5:24Speaker 2: your gift, to the talent that God has given you.
- 5:26Speaker 2: You can't overlook that. See God never created a person
- 5:29Speaker 2: without giving them a talent or a gift. You have
- 5:31Speaker 2: something that you do, and the way to identify that
- 5:34Speaker 2: is very simple. It is the thing that you do
- 5:36Speaker 2: the absolute best with the least amount of effort. What
- 5:39Speaker 2: is that that you do that's better than you do
- 5:41Speaker 2: anything else with the least amount of effort. You do
- 5:44Speaker 2: this it's almost You can draw without you can write,
- 5:47Speaker 2: you can sing. You know how to pull stuff apart
- 5:50Speaker 2: and put it back together. You know how to connect
- 5:53Speaker 2: the dots and cross t's, and you know how to
- 5:57Speaker 2: organize things and put people together. You know how a network.
- 6:00Speaker 2: You know how to shoot videos better than anybody. You
- 6:03Speaker 2: know how to calm people down when they when it's
- 6:05Speaker 2: a conflict that your school is something.
- 6:07Speaker 1: They come to you, all your friends come to you.
- 6:09Speaker 1: They problem. There's a gift and the talent. You have
- 6:11Speaker 1: to identify what that is.
- 6:13Speaker 2: Now, if you take that gift and talent that you
- 6:15Speaker 2: are born with and you marry it into your dream,
- 6:19Speaker 2: you put those two in the dream. That's the number
- 6:22Speaker 2: one thing. And here's a deal. You can never give
- 6:26Speaker 2: up on the dream. I don't care how old you are.
- 6:33Speaker 2: There's a scripture that says a man without a dream
- 6:36Speaker 2: or vision shall perish.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Think about this. If you've given up on your dream,
- 6:41Speaker 1: don't it feel like you're going nowhere?
- 6:44Speaker 2: You have a wake up in the morning and just go, Man,
- 6:46Speaker 2: this can't be all to it.
- 6:48Speaker 1: It's got to be more to it than this.
- 6:50Speaker 2: That's that seed, that dream, that talent, that gift that's
- 6:54Speaker 2: in you, that needs watering and nurturing and fertilize.
- 6:57Speaker 1: It to come out and grow. But you got identical five.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Man, Come on, and you can't give up on your
- 7:02Speaker 2: dream because now you got just the job that's helping
- 7:05Speaker 2: you pay these bills. And now you locked into the
- 7:07Speaker 2: system where paying the bills is so critical and living
- 7:10Speaker 2: expenses on top of you that you got to keep
- 7:12Speaker 2: going to this job. So now you give up on
- 7:14Speaker 2: your dreams. That ain't how this thing work.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Man.
- 7:17Speaker 2: You can't ever give up on the dream. It's gonna
- 7:21Speaker 2: be a sacrifice to do that. To follow your dream,
- 7:23Speaker 2: you're gonna have to let something go. That's the scary part.
- 7:27Speaker 2: That's the part where people don't want to let go
- 7:29Speaker 2: of the peanut to get the fruit, So you hang
- 7:31Speaker 2: on to your peanut. Now, the fruit out there, it's melons, grapes, bananas, pineapples,
- 7:36Speaker 2: it's out fruit is out there, but you're so busy
- 7:39Speaker 2: hanging on to this peanut, that job that has got
- 7:42Speaker 2: you locked in, and you can't go out there and
- 7:44Speaker 2: enjoy the fruits of your life. You have to make
- 7:46Speaker 2: a decision. But decision is based on your dream and
- 7:49Speaker 2: your gift. If you tie those two together, why not
- 7:51Speaker 2: take a shot at it. I mean, what you're waiting on.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Everything I tell you is faith based, so remember that too.
- 7:56Speaker 2: Now you got to take your faith along. But it
- 7:58Speaker 2: starts with the dream.
- 8:00Speaker 1: You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
