- 0:01Speaker 1: All right, guys, here we are our last break of
- 0:03Speaker 1: the day. Wow, it's been a good day. Thank you
- 0:06Speaker 1: guys for listening as usual. All right, Steve, it's on you.
- 0:10Speaker 1: You're up. You know we were talking earlier and Junior,
- 0:14Speaker 1: I forgot what was your initial question? What was your
- 0:17Speaker 1: initial question? Oh? It was a how do we know
- 0:20Speaker 1: if what we want in life is what God wants
- 0:22Speaker 1: for us? How do we know if what we want
- 0:26Speaker 1: in life God wants for us? My quick response was
- 0:30Speaker 1: you ain't gonna get it. And then as we were
- 0:34Speaker 1: talking off air, Carla said to me, Carla said, remember
- 0:38Speaker 1: the saying, if you want to make God laugh, tell
- 0:42Speaker 1: him your plans. My grandma used to tell me that. Yeah, yeah,
- 0:47Speaker 1: you know. And I got to thinking about that, which
- 0:50Speaker 1: leads to my closing remarks. Me being a comedian for
- 0:55Speaker 1: the early part of my career, I must haven had
- 0:59Speaker 1: God on flow hollering because I can't tell you the
- 1:05Speaker 1: plans I came up with, only to find out it
- 1:10Speaker 1: wasn't God's plan for me, and what I had to
- 1:16Speaker 1: eventually learn what I didn't know when the beginning is, Hey, Steve,
- 1:21Speaker 1: why don't you ask God what he has for you?
- 1:26Speaker 1: Instead of all the time going to God telling God
- 1:29Speaker 1: what you want from him. Steve, why don't you start
- 1:33Speaker 1: asking God what he has or wants for you because
- 1:38Speaker 1: his plan is going to be better than the one
- 1:41Speaker 1: you had. But I didn't do that. I just didn't
- 1:44Speaker 1: do it. For years. I just went to God with
- 1:47Speaker 1: what I wanted. And here was the dumber thing. Most
- 1:50Speaker 1: of the time, I didn't even go to God. I
- 1:54Speaker 1: just went after what I wanted. Somebody out there know
- 1:59Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, And boy, let me tell you something.
- 2:04Speaker 1: It's just because I've understood the power of being authentic
- 2:08Speaker 1: with people and not being fakean acting like I've always
- 2:11Speaker 1: had it together. No, no, I haven't. I've made thousands
- 2:17Speaker 1: of mistakes. I have messed it up so many times. Hey, man,
- 2:21Speaker 1: if you all knew all the mistakes I made, it's
- 2:28Speaker 1: actually a miracle that I'm here today. It really I
- 2:32Speaker 1: kid you not, And I'm not blowing it up for
- 2:36Speaker 1: radio purposes. If God had dealt with me according to
- 2:43Speaker 1: my iniquities, if God had if God had shown me
- 2:50Speaker 1: no grace and extended to me no mercy and just
- 2:56Speaker 1: dealt with me as I was, as I be in
- 2:58Speaker 1: a world of trouble, man, I would be in a
- 3:00Speaker 1: world of trouble. But I got news for you, so
- 3:03Speaker 1: would you. Hey, mister and mis righteous, who send them
- 3:08Speaker 1: talking about? Well? Oh lord, what did Steve do? No? No,
- 3:11Speaker 1: what did you do? See all this point and fangle
- 3:15Speaker 1: business right here? I stopped doing that to people because
- 3:19Speaker 1: I found out very quickly. Man, it's a lot of
- 3:21Speaker 1: fangle point can come my way too. So in not
- 3:25Speaker 1: asking God what he had for me or wanted for me,
- 3:29Speaker 1: I pursued a lot of stuff that wasn't good for me.
- 3:33Speaker 1: I pursued people that wasn't good for me. I pursued
- 3:37Speaker 1: businesses that wasn't good for me, or I had to
- 3:39Speaker 1: learn the business. Hey, why did I think I should
- 3:44Speaker 1: own a carpet installation company? Why did I think that?
- 3:51Speaker 1: Why did I think I was actually gonna get rich
- 3:57Speaker 1: selling to Dick Gregory Bohemian diet? Why did I get
- 4:03Speaker 1: into amweight thinking this was my ticket? I'm gonna draw
- 4:07Speaker 1: these circles in these living room I'm gonna become a
- 4:10Speaker 1: direct diamond distributor. I'm'a be by, i'm'a be like Don
- 4:14Speaker 1: and Georgia hell, and I'm gonna have all these people
- 4:17Speaker 1: in Orlando following me, and I'm gonna get up and
- 4:19Speaker 1: give's speeches like Dexter Wansol and Bill Britt and Don
- 4:24Speaker 1: and Georgia Hall. I had all the motivational tapes, man,
- 4:28Speaker 1: I was listening to it all. I'm gonna be a
- 4:31Speaker 1: megastar Amway distributor. I didn't ask God one time if
- 4:36Speaker 1: that's what I should do. He just set there with
- 4:39Speaker 1: his arms fold hollering, laughing at me. If you want
- 4:44Speaker 1: to make God laugh, tell him your plan. The whole
- 4:46Speaker 1: time I was in them living rooms drawing them circles,
- 4:50Speaker 1: he had to be on the floor laughing or I
- 4:54Speaker 1: was good at it, though, because my real gift was
- 4:57Speaker 1: standing up in front of people entertaining. So my presentation
- 5:01Speaker 1: of circles, oh, man, I turned it into a routine.
- 5:04Speaker 1: I didn't even know it. I was the most captivating
- 5:07Speaker 1: Amway consultant ever born. You couldn't stand up in front
- 5:12Speaker 1: of a living room full of people and draw them
- 5:14Speaker 1: circles better than Steve Harvey. I wasn't getting a lot
- 5:19Speaker 1: of people that signed up, but I wasn't selling enough
- 5:24Speaker 1: soap powder. That was my plan. My plan, man, I
- 5:33Speaker 1: can't tell y'all y'all had so many plans that went
- 5:35Speaker 1: around you. How many people I've picked that I thought
- 5:39Speaker 1: was for me. God, I can't say no names, but
- 5:44Speaker 1: Lord have mercy. And it just didn't work out. And
- 5:48Speaker 1: as I look back on it, Lord, God Almighty, didn't work.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Then I forced some things in my life. I just
- 5:54Speaker 1: forced some relationships. I forced some stuff and aught none
- 5:58Speaker 1: of it worked until I stopped and started saying, Okay, God,
- 6:04Speaker 1: what you got for me? And now it seems like
- 6:10Speaker 1: everything I do works. It don't. But that's what it
- 6:13Speaker 1: appears to other people. Somebody told me the other day, Man, Steve,
- 6:16Speaker 1: everything you touched turned the goal. Now I just started
- 6:21Speaker 1: touching what God telled me to touch. That's really the fact,
- 6:25Speaker 1: and it just looked like it. But I've made enough
- 6:28Speaker 1: mistakes to learn that. Talk to God today. Ask God
- 6:31Speaker 1: to order your steps, and you'll have a much better
- 6:34Speaker 1: and more fulfilling life and save yourself a lot of pain.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Y'all have a good for all. Steve Harvey contests no
