Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Come on you, ah, I sure will. Good morning everybody
- 0:07Speaker 1: you are listening to the voice, Come on dig me now.
- 0:10Speaker 1: One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man.
- 0:15Speaker 1: If y'all only knew, I think I'll tell it to
- 0:18Speaker 1: you this morning. Man started off real crazy. But it's
- 0:22Speaker 1: just those little mishaps where we as people who are
- 0:27Speaker 1: striving to be successful, that makes all the difference in
- 0:31Speaker 1: the world. When you have those little minor things that
- 0:34Speaker 1: come up, you can't let the minor things stop you.
- 0:38Speaker 1: You've got to keep pressing forward. Now. Could I have
- 0:41Speaker 1: played the role of where is my car? Where is
- 0:45Speaker 1: my car? Oh? Where is my car? Instead of hustling
- 0:50Speaker 1: and grab a cab? So what am i? Am I
- 0:53Speaker 1: above a cab ride now? Or do I have to
- 0:57Speaker 1: look at the bigger picture and say, okay, I could
- 0:59Speaker 1: act like a little spoil brat some type of star
- 1:02Speaker 1: and go I don't ride in cabs or where's my car?
- 1:05Speaker 1: And then go to blaming people for not having a car.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Or do I make the adjustments because it ain't like
- 1:10Speaker 1: I ain't been in a cab before? Now, slow down?
- 1:12Speaker 1: Ain't like I ain't never been in a in a
- 1:14Speaker 1: beat up car before? Slow down, ain't ever like I
- 1:17Speaker 1: ain't never had a car and rode a bus before.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Slow down, ain't like I ain't never been homeless before,
- 1:24Speaker 1: And they have nowhere to go. Slow down. So in
- 1:28Speaker 1: those moments right there, always remember where you come from,
- 1:32Speaker 1: but even more importantly, always remember where you trying to go,
- 1:36Speaker 1: because it's important for me that I get here as
- 1:39Speaker 1: many mornings as I possibly can. It's important because that's
- 1:43Speaker 1: the goal. And so many people allow a minor things
- 1:46Speaker 1: to stop them on their road to success. And I'm
- 1:48Speaker 1: giving you this example today not to say, hey, look
- 1:52Speaker 1: at me, but to say to you, hey, listen to me.
- 1:55Speaker 1: There are going to be a lot of things that's
- 1:57Speaker 1: gonna happen along your way to being successful. And if
- 1:59Speaker 1: you allow the small things to stop you, there's no
- 2:02Speaker 1: way you'll make it. You've got to always press forward
- 2:05Speaker 1: and stop looking at the situation for what it is,
- 2:07Speaker 1: and look, sometimes you have to take your eye off
- 2:09Speaker 1: right now and put your eye in the future. You know,
- 2:12Speaker 1: God has blessed me in so many ways. I mean,
- 2:15Speaker 1: what can I say? You know, I ask God for
- 2:16Speaker 1: this syndicated show. He gives me a syndicated show. N
- 2:20Speaker 1: I act like I don't want to come to it.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Hold on, man, slow down. Did not you ask for this?
- 2:25Speaker 1: Do I not realize that there are certain people, man,
- 2:28Speaker 1: who look forward to this message in the morning. I've
- 2:31Speaker 1: heard it from people, so from the hundreds that I've
- 2:35Speaker 1: heard it for, that could represent thousands for all I know.
- 2:39Speaker 1: So if I think somebody's counting on me, I got
- 2:42Speaker 1: to try to get there and give something. So today
- 2:45Speaker 1: I didn't have any time at all to think about
- 2:47Speaker 1: what I might say. I just walk right in and
- 2:49Speaker 1: the jingle was playing, and so I decided to just
- 2:52Speaker 1: tell you about my day and maybe you can relate
- 2:54Speaker 1: it to something you going through along the way, Because
- 2:57Speaker 1: no matter who you are, you're going to have some
- 2:59Speaker 1: moment man, where things are going to happen. And like
- 3:02Speaker 1: I always tell my kids, and I just had this
- 3:05Speaker 1: conversation with my little girl, it ain't that things ain't
- 3:07Speaker 1: gonna happen. It's how you handle what happens that matters.
- 3:12Speaker 1: But it don't matter. It's how you handle what happens
- 3:15Speaker 1: that's the determining factor on where you get in life
- 3:18Speaker 1: and how soon you get there and how long you
- 3:21Speaker 1: stay there. That will always be a mishap. Something that's
- 3:26Speaker 1: gonna throw you off. There will always be something man
- 3:30Speaker 1: that could deter you. That will be something somewhere man
- 3:34Speaker 1: that will make you doubt it. Now that you know
- 3:37Speaker 1: that's gonna happen, then let's talk about how you handle
- 3:40Speaker 1: what happens, because it's going to happen. So now, what
- 3:43Speaker 1: do you do as a person when these moments come
- 3:45Speaker 1: about in your life? How do you handle? Oh? Woe
- 3:49Speaker 1: is me? Oh, I guess it wasn't meant to be. Well.
- 3:53Speaker 1: If the Lord wanted me to have this, I'd have that.
- 3:57Speaker 1: How many damn many times you hear people say that,
- 3:59Speaker 1: You know it really irks me. Man, Stop using God
- 4:03Speaker 1: as your excuse. God ain't no excuse. God is a reason.
- 4:08Speaker 1: He's a reason why the good happens. He's a reason.
- 4:13Speaker 1: He's not an excuse. God don't have no excuses, and
- 4:18Speaker 1: none of his scriptures or writings not that I he
- 4:20Speaker 1: just don't make excuses. I would have done this. But
- 4:24Speaker 1: you know there's a scripture that says the poor will
- 4:27Speaker 1: all shall always be amongst us. Why that's got to
- 4:30Speaker 1: be you. Yeah, he said the poor will always be
- 4:33Speaker 1: amongst us, Because you know everybody ain't gonna follow the
- 4:36Speaker 1: principles of success. But he also said he came to
- 4:39Speaker 1: give you life and give it to you more abundantly.
- 4:42Speaker 1: He said that too, But oh no, you don't want
- 4:44Speaker 1: to hear that because your life kind of trip it
- 4:46Speaker 1: out a little bit. So now what you do with it?
- 4:48Speaker 1: Now you twist it and you go to that one
- 4:51Speaker 1: little scripture that say, well, the poor shall always be
- 4:54Speaker 1: amongst us. Well, that's put in there because that suggests
- 4:59Speaker 1: in case, see that's a just in case y'all don't
- 5:02Speaker 1: want to follow the scriptures. That's just in case you
- 5:05Speaker 1: don't understand that faith without works is dead. That's just
- 5:09Speaker 1: in case you have not because you ask not. It's
- 5:13Speaker 1: just in case you don't believe and shall not doubt.
- 5:16Speaker 1: He got all that in there. But in case you
- 5:18Speaker 1: don't want to do that, there is a scripture that
- 5:21Speaker 1: tells you what will happen if you don't do it,
- 5:23Speaker 1: And here it is the poor shall always be amongst us.
- 5:26Speaker 1: But then you get that when they say, well, that's
- 5:28Speaker 1: I guess that's the Lord's will. Lord's will, really, really,
- 5:32Speaker 1: really really that's amazing. I just don't believe that about him.
- 5:38Speaker 1: I don't believe that God created your life to be
- 5:41Speaker 1: a life of misery. I think that we make decisions
- 5:46Speaker 1: along the way that cause us to have lives of misery.
- 5:49Speaker 1: But I really really just don't believe that God created
- 5:53Speaker 1: you for that. I've heard Nelson Mandela speak, and you
- 6:00Speaker 1: know you gotta go while all those years in prison, Man,
- 6:04Speaker 1: what was it about? When you hear him speak, you
- 6:07Speaker 1: understand what it was about. He said, he always knew
- 6:11Speaker 1: he would be free one day. Now, what he said
- 6:14Speaker 1: he never knew was he said, he never knew that
- 6:17Speaker 1: he would be the president of that country. Oh my goodness,
- 6:23Speaker 1: what a long way around. But he could have set
- 6:26Speaker 1: there and got involved in prison activities that wasn't up
- 6:30Speaker 1: to Paw and things like that. And they said whenever
- 6:34Speaker 1: young inmates used to come in. He was telling the
- 6:36Speaker 1: story one time of how young inmates used to come
- 6:38Speaker 1: into the prison. They all sit around and talk to
- 6:41Speaker 1: him about what they were doing and how many kids
- 6:43Speaker 1: they had in their lives, and it helped them keep
- 6:45Speaker 1: track of it outside a little bit, and it kept
- 6:48Speaker 1: a sense of time for them, and it reminded me
- 6:51Speaker 1: to talk about what they left behind, and it kept
- 6:53Speaker 1: them going because something was greater on the other side.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Had he allowed that to him, had he allowed the imprisonment,
- 7:02Speaker 1: which is a pretty major deal. Oh, by the way,
- 7:05Speaker 1: then guess what he would have never been the Nelson
- 7:08Speaker 1: Mandela that we know today, a martyr, a leader, a
- 7:11Speaker 1: great force. People want to go around him. Even people
- 7:14Speaker 1: that imprisoned him could not understand his staunch strength, his faith,
- 7:20Speaker 1: his unwavering commitment. They couldn't understand it. So things are
- 7:25Speaker 1: going to happen in your life, but it's how you
- 7:26Speaker 1: handle what happens doesn't matter. So keep pushing, y'all. Don't
- 7:29Speaker 1: let the little things get in the way, Okay, And
- 7:32Speaker 1: if you just sometimes you just don't know. I got
- 7:34Speaker 1: in a cab thinking I wasn't gonna make it, but
- 7:36Speaker 1: at least let's go see, let's try. I made it. Now.
- 7:40Speaker 1: Guess what that gives me? Another piece of information that
- 7:43Speaker 1: I have and all I had to see it again today?
- 7:46Speaker 1: Guess what I said today? Man, sometime when it looked
- 7:49Speaker 1: like you ain't gonna make it, just go ahead on anywhere. Now.
- 7:52Speaker 1: I could still be back there at the hotel talking
- 7:54Speaker 1: about where my car, but I got up in here
- 7:56Speaker 1: and made it. So now what y'all gonna do with it?
- 7:58Speaker 1: Let's go listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
