Steve Harvey's Closing Remarks - 08.14.25 · Daily Inspiration: The Steve Harvey Morning Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: My clothes remarks today, I don't know how long they're
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: going to last because I just had this thought that
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: came into my head. So I don't know how well
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be able to expound on it, because
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I don't really write these down. I just really go
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: straight from the cuff because I find it better when
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I speak from my heart. And here's the thought that
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: came to me. If you really really want to get
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to where you're going, you need to take God with you.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: If you really really want to get to where you're going,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: you ought to take God with you. I don't know
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: how to fix that into a catchy phrase or anything.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: It's just a thought that popped into my head.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Because I can tell you for a fact, as I
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: look back on my life and all the things I
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: had accomplished, everything I've ever gotten through, over gotten, pasted,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: or somehow survived, if it had not been for God,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know how I would have made it. I
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: just really don't. If you are trying to accomplish your
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: dreams and everything on your own, buckle up, homie. Gonna
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: be a rough ride. But see here's the deal. It's
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: hard trying to get to where you're going. It's hard
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: accomplishing your goals, it's hard to live your dreams. It's hard.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: But if you got God on your side, it's doable.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: You can manage it. Because he didn't tell you that
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't be hard. He just said he'd always be
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: with you. But you have a choice.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: As a human being.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: He promised he'd be with you, but he can only
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: be with you if you invite him. God is very polite.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: He don't push hisself on you. If you don't want him,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: that's the choice you make. Good luck, man, I wish
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: you well. See, I don't have to say I know
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: people who've tried to make it without it.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I did it.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: There was a period in my life where I was
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: trying to do it and I wasn't consulting it on
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: God by nothing.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I was just doing it my way. And boy, let
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: me tell you something.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Who at least had I asked him for strength, I
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: could have dealt with it better. At Least have I
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: asked him to order my steps, I probably would have
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: made different decision. But since he gives us the power
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: of choice, I was just making decisions I wanted to
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: make at that particular time without no consultation at all.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: And then you know, you get to a point in
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: your life and everybody always ask everybody this same question.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: If you could do anything over in your life, what
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: would you do?
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: When I look back on it, man, I've made a
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: million mistakes. But those mistakes they helped reshape me. They
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: didn't define me. They reshaped me. Every mistake I've ever
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: made has made me a better person, every single one
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: of them. Now, I'm gonna tell you something about seeing
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: that I learned. Seeing cost you more than you want
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to pay, and it makes you stay longer than you
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: want to stay. That's a fact. And man on, man
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: on my, man on, man on man, have I had
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: to stay in some stuff way longer than I wanted to?
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I just I just did. Man. But that's everybody. Ain't
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: just me, it's you.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: But because God gives us the power choice, he allows
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: us to decide what we're gonna do.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: We're the only.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Creature he created that gets to decide. You get to
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: decide what you want to be for the rest of
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: your life. Bird don't have no choice. Bird gotta be
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a bird, Dog gotta be a dog. Bear gotta be
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: a bear. The lion has to be a lion. The
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: hyena has to be a hyaena.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: We get to.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Pick lawyer, doctor, radio host, comedian, factory worker, truck driver,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: cab driver, restaurant owner. We get to decide well in
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: our decisions, which we have full power. Please make the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: conscious decision to take God with you in everything you do,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: in everything you do.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Listen, man, it ain't as bad as it sounds.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: You know why I used to fight it so bad
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: because I was afraid I was gonna miss out on
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: some of God was gonna not let me do something
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I wanted to do. And that's about the stupidest thing
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I ever made. That's the dumbest that's said time. I'm
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: just yeah, if I go to God right now, he
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: ain't gonna let me do this right here? Man, you
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: know half the stuff that he didn't let me do,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't have did it anyway, man, Man, I could
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: have skipped the foolishness I got myself into. I mean,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: straight out ignorance. I could have skipped it all. So
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: when people ask you that question, do you have any request,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: any regrets? Is anything you would have did different? Yeah,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what i'd have did different. I'd have
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: confided in God with everything. That's what I wish I
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: had done different. And then guess what, I probably would
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: have got here a lot faster. As a matter of fact,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I know because the detours I took well were so stupid.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Listen to me. If you're trying to get to where
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you're going, do yourself a favor and take God with you,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: because if you don't, you're gonna wish your head. Those
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: are my closing remarks today. I hope you got something
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: from it. If not, we'll try again tomorrow. God will
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: y'all have a good win today? Y'all, Hey, listen, talk
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: to God today.
