• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Steve Harvey. Got a radio show. Well, nothing changes about that.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Nothing changes about that. Man, I was just getting ready
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: to come on the air this morning. I was just thinking, man.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I was just having a reflective moment of just how
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: really good God has been to me. I just, it's, it's,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: it's man. Let me just say that again. How really
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: good God has been to me. And here's the cold part.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: In spite of myself, you understand, in spite of all
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: my shortcomings, in spite of all of my flaws and, and, and, and, and,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: In spite of all of what anybody has said about me, God,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: through his grace and mercy, just keeps me anyway. So
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: many of us are exceptional people, but we refuse to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: just go ahead and be exceptional. We settle for the ordinary.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: We follow the pack. We try to fit in. Man,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: oh man, oh man. You know, I've heard my wife
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: say this to my children all the time when she
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: was scolding them or talking to them. She'd be talking
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: to them about leadership. You know, why are you following
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: everybody when God clearly made you to lead? So many
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: of us are born and so many of you are
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: born to be exceptional people, but we always trying to
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: follow the pack. Why would you try to fit in?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Why would you try to be like everybody else, be ordinary?
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Why would you follow the pack when God has created
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you to be exceptional? The key word in exceptional is accept.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: You ever done this right here? You know, everybody did
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: that except me. Everybody felt that way except me. Everybody
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: said that except me. Everybody wanted that except me. Everybody
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: went over there except me. Everybody jumped in except me.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Except me. See, why have you said that in your
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: life if you were not to be exceptional? See, you
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: got to say everybody except me. At one point, I
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: don't know who ain't done it. You know, everybody voted
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: no except me. See, so you're not created to follow
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the pack. You ain't created to fit in. You ain't
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: created to, you know, to be ordinary. You were created
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: to be exceptional. As exceptional as your fingerprint on your
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: finger is, you were created to be exceptional. Why not
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: make this the year that you go head on and
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: be exceptional? Why won't this be the year that you
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: decide in your mind, but just has to be a
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: decision that we make now. We're not following the pack
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: no more. We're not trying to fit in no more.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: We ain't settling for ordinary no more. We're going to
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: be exceptional. But you know, you got to go ahead
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and follow that. You got to get on the exceptional
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: path because that's what you were created for. Why be ordinary?
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: You know, but all of this, this comes, it has
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to start with a thought. You got to first think something.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Thoughts become things. A man is as he thinketh. That's
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: all you will ever be. So what are your thoughts today?
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Why not have exceptional thoughts instead of ordinary thoughts? Why
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: not have exceptional thoughts instead of fitting in thoughts? So
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: why you want to be like everybody else? Why you
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: want to be ordinary when you could possibly be extraordinary
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: with a change of your mind? a change of your venue,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and you don't have to be any other kind of
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: way just because my mama was this way or my
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: daddy was this way or this the school I went to,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: this what race I belong to, this my sexual preference,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: this my this, this my that. How many excuses you need?
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: How many excuses? What's it going to be this year?
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: that we let another 365 days slip by without improving
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: our condition, our place, our spot, our life, the quality
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: of life we have. We cannot afford to keep letting
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: all these years go by without changing. You're an exceptional person.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: How many times have you set up and said, everybody
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: did that except me? You know, I was on, everybody
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: jumped in except me. I told him I knew it.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Everybody voted for that except me. And now look at it. Man,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: it seemed like everybody went that way except me. Okay.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Do you get it? Do you understand what's being said
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: to you? That old except me is because couldn't it
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: be because you're an exceptional person? And it's time for
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: you to take control of that. It's time for you
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: to start thinking different. It's time for you to start
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: acting on what you think. It's time for you to
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: start doing something about it. It's time for you to
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: stop taking each and every day that God gives us
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: for granted and letting them go by the wayside like
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: you got plenty more. Well, you may have plenty more,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: but guess what? What you wasting the ones you got for?
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I got you young and you feel like you're going
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: to live forever. Okay, cool. But let me ask you something. See,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: here go the part about, suppose you do live. See,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: everybody worrying about dying, but I got news for you.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Suppose you keep on living. You want to keep living
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: in the condition you in now? You want to keep
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: living with the money you got now? You want to
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: keep living with the relationship you got now? You want
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to keep living by yourself like you are now? You
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: want to keep wanting the right relationship, the right man,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the right woman, but you keep getting the wrong one.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: You want to keep doing that for the rest of
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: your life. Problem ain't dying. This problem is if you
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: keep on living, who wants to keep on living just
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the way they are right now. And if you could say,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I'm cool with, I am just the way I am
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: right now. Then cool. This conversation ain't for you. I
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: ain't got no problem with that. You know, you don't
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: say greatness ain't for everybody. Being exceptional ain't for everybody.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Becoming extraordinary ain't for everybody. Heck, becoming successful ain't for everybody.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I got it. And you can come up with a
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: way to justify your non-existence and your ordinary life all
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: you want. And that's fine and dandy. I ain't got
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: no problem with it because some people just going to
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: be regular. Some people just going to follow the pack,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: follow the crowd. Some people just wants to fit in.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: But if you're not that person, if you want to
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: be extraordinary, If you want to be exceptional, if you
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: want to be, if you want to dare to be
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: great at something and you got to change your mindset,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: you got to get with your creator and find out
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: what he created you for. You got to quit thinking
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: of things just in your own thought process. You know,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: lean not to your own understanding. I don't know where
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: that is, but it's in there somewhere. See, and once
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: you lean, if you lean to your own understanding, you
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: know what it's going to do is going to limit you, man.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: It's going to limit you. Why not see what God
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: got for you? I would rather know what God got
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: for me than to think of all the things I
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: could because I can't outthink him. I done tried it before.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: All right. It's just the beginning. We'll have a good one, man.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Let's go. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
