  Speaker 1: I sure will. Good morning, everybody. You are listening to
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: The Voice. Come on, dig me now. One and only
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Steve Harvey. Got a radio show.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Today is simple. I want to tell you. I want
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to just talk to you about effort today. Just about effort.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a word that people use to describe
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: sometimes trying. But what I found out about trying is
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: trying is just a noble way of saying you didn't
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: get it done.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I tried.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: And then everybody go, well, he tried. That was the best. Well,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: that's not exactly true, though. That's not exactly true, you all.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: And I want to talk to you about that because
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I don't want you to be one of the people
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: who just tried. See, trying, I mean, I got to
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: tell you, to attempt something, you're going to have to
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: first try. But I want you to change your mindset
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: from trying to getting it done.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: See, that's a big difference.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I'm really more apt to listen to the person that
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: says to me, I'm going to get it done.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I'm going to try. What try does is it allows
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: you to fail.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: It's the person that has the mindset that I'm going
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to get it done is the person who changes the
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: complexion of things. I'm going to get it done is
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: very different than I'm going to try. You know, look, man,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I know this sounds a little harsh, but you got
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to stop feeding yourself these little old wise sayings that ain't.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: It was a valiant try. Hey man, you talk to
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: anybody that took second place in the Super Bowl and
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: see how they feel about their valiant try.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: The only way.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: To gain God's real blessings is you have to try something. Steve,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you're backpedaling. No, listen to me close. You have to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: put forth an effort to to allow God to put
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: his finger on something to bless on your behalf. You
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: must start to attempt. Now, in saying getting it done
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to try, that's a different of two
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: different faiths to me. I'm just talking about me now.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: You may be different, so I can't say this about you,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: but I can say this about me.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: If I say I'm going to get it done, I
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: have a lot of faith in it.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I am going to get it done because I just
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: don't see failure as an option a lot of times. Now,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: if somebody says to me, like the Olympic team invited
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: me out to curl one day, which is throw these
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: stones on the ice. If you're not familiar with this
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: very simple thing. And so I said, man, I'd like
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: to give that a try. I went in full well
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: knowing I may not come away from this little curling
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: lesson as a person who could make the Olympic team.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to try it because I thought it
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: looked cool.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: And always wanted to get it done. Well, I failed twice.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I threw a stone completely into the other lane. I
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: lost that little ice shoe. It shot out mundo me.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: But you know what? I kept trying, though. I kept
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: trying until I got four of them stones in that
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: circle right where I aim. But now had I given
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: up after I fail, after I threw that stone in
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the other lane, after I shot my shoe down all
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the way to the bottom side, the little ice.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Shoe they give you, I never would did it. But
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: because I was trying.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Something got me together a little bit because of my effort,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: and it caused me not to fall the next time,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: not to throw it in the other lane, not to
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: shoot my shoe to the back of the wall.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden, my trying became something.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Now, had I stayed out there and it wasn't so
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: cold and I went.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Back week after week after week after week, I promise
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: you I could get it done.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I could at least know how to compete in a
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: game of curling.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Might not be the best.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I might not win the championship, but I could have
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: got it done to the point where I could have
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: competed in a game of curling. So sometimes if you're
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: scared to say I'm going to get it done, just
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: go out there and get started. You know, learn from
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: every attempt that you make. See, don't quit writing yourself
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: off as a failure every time something don't go right.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: When I fell on that ice, I could have said, man,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I can't curl. But hold up, man, I'm watching four
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: other women out here curl, four other dudes out here curl,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: little kids out here curling.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Hold up, partner. You know, man.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: So I learned when I threw that stone on the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: other ice, when I fell, when my shoe shot off.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I learned from every attempt a little bit more about it.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: And then I said to myself one point in time, man,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get this stone in that circle. I'm
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: going to get this stone in this circle. And guess what?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I got it done. Now, what you're saying to me, Steve,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I'm saying to you that you got to get started,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: that you got to put forth an effort. Give God
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: something to bless. Oh, God bless me. Oh, God bless me.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Bless you.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: What?
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Bless you where? Bless you how?
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Stop basing your results on what you're thinking. You got
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to think higher. You get God in your life, man.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: He allows you to think higher, bigger, better, more. I'm
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: sitting up here in my debt. I came up with
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: a plan to get out of debt in five years.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I came up with this plan, right? I was sitting
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: up and I was.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Tripping on it.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Now I said, wait a minute, man, hold up. This
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: is what I came up with. I said, God, created
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: heaven and earth, all of it. The mountains, the sky,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the valleys, the oceans, trees, the birds, the Indian ocean,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: all of it, made all of it in six days.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: And then he rested on the seventh. So why am
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I taking to God the five year plan? If he
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: can create heaven and earth, In six days, why am
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I walking in there talking about help me in five years?
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: How is it going to take God five years to
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: get me out of debt? And he made heaven and
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: earth in six days. You're the math here, man. I
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: ain't that big. You ain't that big. You ain't in
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: that much trouble. I ain't in that much trouble. See,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: God got a way of showing you some things, man,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: but it's going to take some faith and faith going
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to take some effort on your part, man. Get out
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and do something, man. You got to bless you a
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: little bit and he give you a little bit more courage.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: And then all them attempts you making is gone and
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: all this. So I try, you know what that turned into?
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get it done. And at the end
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: of the day, that's what you have to do. Because
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: trying to pay your rent and not paying your rent
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: is two different things. You can try to pay your
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: rent or you can get it done. Now, how long
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: do you think you're going to stay in that house trying?
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: You've got to go with the mindset of getting it done.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: And if you can put some stuff out there and
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: give God a chance to put his finger on it
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: and bless it for you, the most stuff he can
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: do for you. Quit looking around at what everybody else
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: got and go and get some of it for yourself, okay?
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: All right. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
