  Speaker 1: Come on, Steve.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Do your thing, Big Daddy. Uh-huh.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: I sure will. Good morning, everybody. You are listening to
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: The Voice. Come on, dig me now. One and only,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Steve Harvey. Got a radio show. Man, oh, man, oh, man.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: I think about all the things God has done for me.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: It's overwhelming at times. And I want everybody to have
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: that feeling and to share in that. feeling of completion
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: and satisfaction. And the only reason I got this and
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: it's the thousandth time I've said it is because I
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: formed a relationship with my.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Creator, period. That's it. That's it. I can't tell you
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: anything else.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: You know, I've always had a strong work ethic. My
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: father put that in me. My father's conversation with me
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: growing up was always constantly about work hard, don't be lazy,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: be a man, do what you say you're going to do, yada, yada, yada, yada, yada. Man,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I was so tired of my father at times. I
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: was going, man, what is with this dude right here? Man,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: every time we have a conversation, it's got to be
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: about work. It's got to be about, you know, man,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: doing your best, trying hard, you know, working, being honest,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: do what you say you're going to do. But that
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: was his mission. I can't tell you how much I
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: appreciate that now. I can't even put it into words
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: when I think about my old man and what he
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: was to me. And I just, man, I'm so grateful
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: for that balance I had in my life. And then
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: my father was a fighter. He fought on the weekends.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: You know, my father used to come home with his
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: clothes tore off of him. He put a fresh shirt
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: on and he'd go back. My mom used to talk
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: about my father fighting all the time. Slick, why are
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: you always fighting? You know, a little bit of that
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: rubbed off on me, too. You know, that kind of
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: got into me, and I didn't understand that either. But
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: then on the same turn, my mother was a Sunday
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: school teacher for 40 years, so her conversation was never
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: about fighting or anything. It was all about love and
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: understanding and doing unto others as you would have them
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: do unto you. My mom was a Sunday school teacher,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: so I I learned about faith. I had to go
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: to Sunday school, prayer meeting, Bible study, young people meeting,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: choir rehearsal. You know, I was a church man so
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: much I was actually looking at there's got to be
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: an alternative to this. You know, I was a little
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: kid even. I was thinking at one point maybe I
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: ought to look in hell because there's got to be
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: something cooler than this going on every day. It got
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: that crazy for me. But the balance between those two
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: people created who I am today. And I want you
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: to understand that the things that you are in your
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: past have helped create who you are today if you
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: view it the right way. Everything that has happened to
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: you in your past has happened to you for a
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: reason and is usually for the good if you view
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: it that way. But if you, on the other hand,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: are a type of person who can't move forward, because
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: you are allowing your past to stop you from having
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: your future, then you, my friend, are doing a disservice
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: to your life.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: You are not honoring God's blessings.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: You are not taking advantage of the gain, knowledge, wisdom,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and experience of your life. Example, if you are a
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: woman and you are always talking, about a former relationship,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: what he did to me. If he had not did
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: this to me, I wouldn't be in this place today.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I thought I had a man. Now I ain't got
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: no man. Ah, la, la, la, la, la. If I,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: you know, he came along and I was doing just swell.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: He just came in and he just lied to me.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: He lied to me. Now he did this to me.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Then he cheated. Then he left. All of that that
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: you're saying can very well be true. Have you thought
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: that maybe, maybe somewhere in God's infinite wisdom that he
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: knew that you had made a mistake in picking him anyway?
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Maybe he knew you had made a mistake in saying
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: yes or I do to him anyway, or come on,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: move in. And so what he did was based on
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: your decision now to say, yes, I do. Or come on,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: let's move in together. That was your decision. So you
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: ain't go to him about this one. You made this
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: decision based on that decision and all the negative things
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: that started happening.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: He allowed you to get away from it.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Now, how you got away from it is always not
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the choice of ours. See, you stuck on the fact
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: that he left, that he walked out. But let me
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: share this with you. When he was there, how good
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: was he to you? How good was he for you? See,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: you got to look at the blessing. The blessing is
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: now you are on your own. Now you walk in
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: your house. Ain't nobody in there with a disruptive spirit.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Now you go home. You could take your clothes off,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: walk around like you want to. Now you go home.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: You can sit down and look at TV or catch
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: your breath if you want to. Your kids don't have
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: to see y'all arguing all the time. Have you looked
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: at the blessing in it? But now if you're going
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: to keep looking at the negative, then guess what? Now
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you can't move forward because you keep allowing your past
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: to keep you from moving forward. If God has bought
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: you through it, why don't you move.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: On from it? Look, you got through it. He gone.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: He ain't coming back. He got somebody else. So you
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: gonna sit there and just keep tripping cause he gone
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: and he got somebody else. Hey, pick yourself up. Thank
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: God for the blessing. It didn't feel like a blessing
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: while you was going through it. And all the pain
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: of him leaving and the divorce and all that messed
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: you up.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Got it.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: When you get through with all of that, you ain't
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the first one been left. You ain't the first one
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: been divorced. You ain't the first one been in a
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: bad relationship.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Pick yourself.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Yourself up. Thank God for the blessing and move forward
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: in your life. Because maybe when you quit complaining, maybe
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: you'll find out that God has something in store for
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: you that he wants you to have, but he can't
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: give it to you if you ain't grateful. So God
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: gives you a blessing, but because you don't see it
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: as a blessing, you ain't grateful for it. Now, guess what?
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: You steady asking God to do something for you, but
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: you ain't thanking him for what he's done for you,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: but you steady wanting him to do more.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: How does that work? How does that work, man, that
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: he should keep.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: On giving you things when you ain't even working with
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the stuff he didn't gave you.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: And I don't know.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: And I'm just, I'm just using that one example that
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: could go for me and to vice versa and so
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: on and so forth. I'm just using that as an example. Now,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: why I laid on that one so long, You have.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: To take that up with God. That's all.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: He ain't pointing fingers at nobody or nothing. Because I've
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: been guilty on both sides of the coin.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Who am I? But I'm just sharing with you what
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I had to do.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I had to learn to stop allowing my past to
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: interfere with my future.
• 8:01
