Steve Harvey's Closing Remarks - 08.28.25 · Daily Inspiration: The Steve Harvey Morning Show

0:00
Speaker 1: All right, guys, here we are our last break of
0:02
Speaker 1: the day. It's been a fun day. We've had a
0:05
Speaker 1: good time today. We always want to thank our audience
0:08
Speaker 1: for listening. I appreciate appreciate one of you. Yes, that's
0:13
Speaker 1: why we know, but one because thank you. Hey, y'all.
0:18
Speaker 1: My clothes of remarks today, I want to do them
0:20
Speaker 1: on this because we had this young sister called in
0:23
Speaker 1: twenty six that just felt like her life was going nowhere.
0:26
Speaker 1: She had graduated from college, she had moved back in
0:28
Speaker 1: with her parents. All she do is go to jail.
0:31
Speaker 1: She's only found part time work, she hasn't found anything
0:35
Speaker 1: full time. It just feels like she's not She's looking
0:38
Speaker 1: at her other friends and his life seemed to be
0:40
Speaker 1: moving along and everything, and she's just sitting there desponded.
0:43
Speaker 1: At twenty six. I try to remind her, as I
0:48
Speaker 1: remind everybody, Do you understand that your path, the one
0:53
Speaker 1: that you are on, is uniquely yours. Stop comparing yourself
0:58
Speaker 1: to other bodies, because I I can promise you there
1:02
Speaker 1: is no one on earth that's going through exactly what
1:08
Speaker 1: you're going through, with the exact same set of circumstances,
1:11
Speaker 1: with the exact same experience and with the exact same outcome.
1:16
Speaker 1: It's not happening. Yours is very unique. Your life is
1:21
Speaker 1: unique to you. Now, that doesn't mean that somebody ain't
1:25
Speaker 1: had the same thing happened to them. Occasions are occasions everybody.
1:31
Speaker 1: Somebody's dealt with grief before, someone has dealt with the
1:34
Speaker 1: firing before. Somebody has dealt with the repoll before. Somebody
1:38
Speaker 1: has dealt with the sickness before. So that's not what
1:41
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I am saying that your path is uniquely yours.
1:47
Speaker 1: And the moment you start comparing yourself to someone else,
1:52
Speaker 1: it brings up the saying that I heard that It's
1:57
Speaker 1: so true. Comparison is the greatest thief of joy. If
2:04
Speaker 1: you want to not feel good about yourself and not
2:07
Speaker 1: feel good about where you are, start lining up some
2:10
Speaker 1: other people and putting yours up against theirs, and you
2:13
Speaker 1: don't even really know the situation of the other person,
2:17
Speaker 1: You just putting it up there. You looking at they
2:19
Speaker 1: Instagram and it looks better than your Instagram, and you
2:23
Speaker 1: looking at your life and they showing you just the
2:27
Speaker 1: good parts of day life, Well, well, what they bad
2:30
Speaker 1: stuff at, what they problems at? Because you do know
2:33
Speaker 1: they haveing them, don't you. You know everybody is going
2:36
Speaker 1: through some form of failure somewhere. You know that everybody
2:41
Speaker 1: is not getting it all right. You do know that,
2:43
Speaker 1: don't you? But Nah, you sitting up here thinking you
2:47
Speaker 1: the only one that ain't getting it right because you
2:49
Speaker 1: keep comparing yourself to others. And when you compare yourself
2:52
Speaker 1: to others, you lose sight of what God has done
2:55
Speaker 1: for you. Y'all gotta slow this down, man, don't into
3:00
Speaker 1: the comparison game, because you will lose sight of what
3:04
Speaker 1: God has done for you. If I look at Tyler Perry,
3:09
Speaker 1: I could find ways to think I'm not doing well.
3:12
Speaker 1: If I look at Michael Jordan, I could find ways
3:15
Speaker 1: to think I'm not doing well. Tiger Woods I could
3:17
Speaker 1: find well. I could look at Brad Pitton find ways
3:20
Speaker 1: to think I'm not doing well. But guess what I
3:23
Speaker 1: am doing well if I don't compare myself to them.
3:29
Speaker 1: You know, somebody asked me a question the other day,
3:32
Speaker 1: hey man, what other celebrity would you trade lives with?
3:36
Speaker 1: And I went nobody. Oh, so you think your life
3:39
Speaker 1: is the best. No, But I'm accepting of the one
3:43
Speaker 1: I have. I don't really know what's going on in
3:47
Speaker 1: somebody else's house. I don't want what's going on. I
3:51
Speaker 1: don't want who they married to, don't I don't want
3:54
Speaker 1: the problems they have. I'm okay with where I am.
3:59
Speaker 1: I have found peace in what God has done for me.
4:04
Speaker 1: Gratitude erasist negativity. Comparison is the greatest thief of joy.
4:13
Speaker 1: If you wake up in a certain mood. Let's say tomorrow,
4:17
Speaker 1: you wake up on what they call the wrong side
4:19
Speaker 1: of the bed, which I never have that. I don't
4:22
Speaker 1: wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Long
4:24
Speaker 1: as I wake up, I don't care what side I
4:25
Speaker 1: get up on, as long as you wake me up.
4:28
Speaker 1: Guess what I start with some gratitude, and that dissipates,
4:34
Speaker 1: that disintegrates all negative energy. It is hard to be
4:40
Speaker 1: negative and grateful, you know. I learned that best lesson
4:44
Speaker 1: at my mother's funeral. We were all sitting there crying
4:46
Speaker 1: on the front row, me and my brothers and sisters,
4:49
Speaker 1: and the pastor got up and everybody had been talking
4:52
Speaker 1: and I was the worst day of my life. And
4:55
Speaker 1: he said to the Harvey kids, I know y'all feeling bad,
4:58
Speaker 1: but sister Harvey was stand out member here at this
5:02
Speaker 1: church for forty years as a Sunday school teacher. Y'all
5:06
Speaker 1: haven't had a chance to look around, but I want
5:08
Speaker 1: you to look around. And that church was packed, he said.
5:13
Speaker 1: You haven't been downstairs, but our overflow room is completely full.
5:18
Speaker 1: He said. You don't know this, but we had to
5:19
Speaker 1: put up speakers outside in the parking lot because all
5:23
Speaker 1: the parking lots that the church is full, we can't
5:25
Speaker 1: let nobody else in the doors. That's the effect y'all's
5:29
Speaker 1: mother had over forty years of a Sunday school teacher,
5:34
Speaker 1: he said. And then I want you to think of
5:37
Speaker 1: all the lives your mama has affected. Look at these
5:40
Speaker 1: people in here. There's some people ain't been to this
5:42
Speaker 1: church in years, came here to pay homage to your mama.
5:47
Speaker 1: He said, you know how much good she did. And
5:49
Speaker 1: then he told me the nugget that I needed. He said,
5:53
Speaker 1: joy and depression cannot reside in the same space. Joy
6:00
Speaker 1: and depression cannot reside in the same space. And what
6:05
Speaker 1: he was saying to me was when it looks dark
6:08
Speaker 1: for you, think of the good things. Think of all
6:11
Speaker 1: the stuff you can be grateful for. When you start
6:14
Speaker 1: feeling like you ain't got it going on, because if
6:17
Speaker 1: somebody wish they had it going on just like you,
6:21
Speaker 1: so be grateful, show gratitude, and stop comparing yourself to others.
6:25
Speaker 1: Comparison is the greatest thief of joy. Those are my
6:29
Speaker 1: closing remarks today. Hey listen, y'all, do yourself a huge
6:32
Speaker 1: favor today. Talk to God today. He would absolutely love
