- 2:09Speaker 5: Steve Harvey got a radio show. Yeah, man, Steve Harvey
- 2:13Speaker 5: got a radio show. Trying to do something with it too.
- 2:16Speaker 1: Man. You know, I was having a conversation the other
- 2:20Speaker 1: day with a young person and they were telling me
- 2:25Speaker 1: how they felt that their life was stuck, that their
- 2:28Speaker 1: life was in a rut, that they didn't know what
- 2:33Speaker 1: to do next. And one of the things that was
- 2:36Speaker 1: causing them this sadness or this depression. I mean, they're
- 2:41Speaker 1: really really into something right now. One of the things
- 2:43Speaker 1: that was causing it was the fact that they had
- 2:48Speaker 1: made a list of things they wanted to accomplish by
- 2:52Speaker 1: a certain age, and that age they just had a
- 2:58Speaker 1: birthday recently, and they were looking at the list, and
- 3:05Speaker 1: the list hadn't been fulfilled, and because that list hadn't
- 3:10Speaker 1: been fulfilled, they were really really sad about it.
- 3:16Speaker 4: You know.
- 3:18Speaker 1: One of the things that they had on the list
- 3:21Speaker 1: was marriage, kids, and I don't know everything else that
- 3:26Speaker 1: was on the list, but that was one of them.
- 3:29Speaker 1: And because she had reached a certain age and she
- 3:32Speaker 1: wasn't married, and she didn't have the kids, and she
- 3:35Speaker 1: had just celebrated a birthday, she's gone into this mode
- 3:40Speaker 1: of sadness where it's really really taken a toll on her.
- 3:45Speaker 1: And as I was learning about her situation, I was
- 3:51Speaker 1: thinking about it, and I just wanted to share this
- 3:55Speaker 1: with you all this morning that one of the things
- 3:58Speaker 1: about making a list of about what you want, which
- 4:01Speaker 1: I happen to be a proponent of, I do it myself.
- 4:05Speaker 1: People have dream boards. I have a goal sheet. I've
- 4:09Speaker 1: been doing it for years. It's a wonderful way to
- 4:13Speaker 1: set goals and to keep it in front of you
- 4:15Speaker 1: as a constant reminder. And I always go over this
- 4:18Speaker 1: gold list every day, you know. I mean I go
- 4:21Speaker 1: over it all the time every day. Sometimes I miss
- 4:24Speaker 1: a day here and there, but mostly every day I
- 4:27Speaker 1: pull my goal sheet out and I look at it,
- 4:29Speaker 1: I read it. So I was going to these rallies
- 4:31Speaker 1: and I was learning about, you know, people who are
- 4:35Speaker 1: successful in how they kept their mind writing possible. And
- 4:37Speaker 1: one of the things I learned was to make these
- 4:40Speaker 1: dream boards, these lists, these gold sheets. And in making
- 4:45Speaker 1: a gold sheet, and you make the sheet according to
- 4:48Speaker 1: what you want, think about one thing when you made
- 4:52Speaker 1: your goal sheet, about what you wanted? Does your goal
- 4:56Speaker 1: sheet have on it what God wants from you? Did
- 5:00Speaker 1: you ask in any of this what was His will
- 5:04Speaker 1: in your life?
- 5:05Speaker 4: You know?
- 5:06Speaker 1: Look, man, what we want oftentimes is not what He
- 5:10Speaker 1: wants for us. And you know, if you're fighting against
- 5:14Speaker 1: what you were created for, if you're fighting against his will,
- 5:18Speaker 1: I mean, what do you want to happen?
- 5:22Speaker 2: See?
- 5:22Speaker 1: Don't be so hard on yourself when you look at
- 5:24Speaker 1: your goal sheet and you look at what you've not
- 5:27Speaker 1: become what you thought was a great idea. Don't be
- 5:30Speaker 1: so hard on yourself because you just made a minor mistake.
- 5:33Speaker 1: As do most people, we oftentimes make our goals and
- 5:36Speaker 1: set our goals up without ever considering what is it
- 5:39Speaker 1: that God wants from us. We keep talking about what
- 5:43Speaker 1: we want without ever finding out and knowing what it
- 5:46Speaker 1: is God wants for us. Well, guess what, man, maybe
- 5:49Speaker 1: you're fighting against the grain. Maybe you just a salmon
- 5:52Speaker 1: heading upstream. That's a tough fight upstream. Not all salmon's
- 5:55Speaker 1: get up to the spawning grounds, you know. Some of
- 5:58Speaker 1: them don't make it upstream, you know. But all of them,
- 6:01Speaker 1: nearly all of them, except the ones that's killed by pray.
- 6:04Speaker 1: When they're spawn they go out to the ocean. That's
- 6:06Speaker 1: cool because you're going because you're going with the grain.
- 6:09Speaker 1: You're going downstream, you're going with the flow. That's but
- 6:13Speaker 1: when it's time to go against the grain, it's tough.
- 6:17Speaker 1: And a lot of us have just been going against
- 6:18Speaker 1: the grain for all of these years. But you know what, listen, man,
- 6:22Speaker 1: I did it. I know a lot of people who
- 6:24Speaker 1: did it. Very few people get it right from the
- 6:28Speaker 1: very beginning. Man, you got to stumble through life sometimes
- 6:32Speaker 1: sometimes you got to fall through life. You got to
- 6:34Speaker 1: make a lot of mistakes, man, But these mistakes are
- 6:38Speaker 1: not failures. You know, when you fail, it's something. Don't
- 6:40Speaker 1: look at it as a failure. Don't look at yourself
- 6:42Speaker 1: as a failure because you're thirty and your goals ain't
- 6:45Speaker 1: reached that you had on your list. That was your list.
- 6:49Speaker 1: What about the things that's going right? Stop looking at
- 6:52Speaker 1: what you're not, take some time out and thank God
- 6:55Speaker 1: for what you are. How about the fact that you
- 6:57Speaker 1: keep waking up to be thirty? You know you get
- 6:59Speaker 1: the pressed about these birthdays. You really want to throw
- 7:02Speaker 1: yourself in some depression. Miss a birthday, You really got
- 7:05Speaker 1: a problem. Now look at where you are. You keep
- 7:09Speaker 1: reaching birthdays. That's a glorious blessing. You keep waking up.
- 7:13Speaker 1: You got your health, You've accomplished something. Something on your
- 7:16Speaker 1: list is done. People spend too much time on the
- 7:20Speaker 1: negative side, and you're just throwing yourself into depression. So
- 7:23Speaker 1: what you want to be married by a certain age
- 7:25Speaker 1: and you wanted to have kids? Okay, cool, You could
- 7:27Speaker 1: have done all that with the wrong person. There's a
- 7:30Speaker 1: blessing in not being married to the wrong person. There's
- 7:34Speaker 1: a blessing in not having kids and nobody to help
- 7:36Speaker 1: you raise it. There's a blessing in that man. You're
- 7:38Speaker 1: talking to somebody who can tell it to you. You
- 7:40Speaker 1: can marry the wrong person if you want to. I'm
- 7:44Speaker 1: telling you you're gonna be up in some mess. You
- 7:46Speaker 1: can't count on. So instead of being angry because you're
- 7:49Speaker 1: not married, you don't have kids, why don't you thank
- 7:52Speaker 1: God the man? Maybe he spared you from some misery here.
- 7:55Speaker 1: Maybe you could have married the wrong person. Maybe you
- 7:57Speaker 1: have kids and you're not really ready to be a
- 7:59Speaker 1: mother or a far You got to look at the
- 8:01Speaker 1: upside man, Quit looking at what you don't have. Take
- 8:04Speaker 1: some time to thank God for what you do have.
- 8:07Speaker 1: When you do that, you make more room for blessings
- 8:09Speaker 1: to flow into your life. I'm not saying how God thinks,
- 8:13Speaker 1: because I really don't know, but I'm telling you if
- 8:17Speaker 1: a person comes to me and I always give a
- 8:19Speaker 1: person something and they never appear grateful, or they never
- 8:23Speaker 1: say thank you, please know you can quit coming to
- 8:25Speaker 1: me now. I don't notice how God works because I've
- 8:30Speaker 1: gone back to him several times without being grateful of
- 8:33Speaker 1: thanking him, and he's filled my basket up again. So
- 8:37Speaker 1: I really think he's not like that. But I can't
- 8:40Speaker 1: make the call for sure. But I think at one
- 8:43Speaker 1: point in time me it's just me talking. I'd be
- 8:46Speaker 1: a little ticked off at somebody who was always taking, taking, taking,
- 8:51Speaker 1: and never showing any gratitude at one point in time,
- 8:54Speaker 1: I would just stop the flow of the take you know,
- 8:57Speaker 1: you can't take no more from me. That's what I
- 9:00Speaker 1: would do. Now. I'm not calling it like that because
- 9:03Speaker 1: I ain't him, but I know he's merciful, He's full
- 9:05Speaker 1: of goodness and he and he'll forgive you. And thank
- 9:09Speaker 1: God he does that because he's show enough done it
- 9:11Speaker 1: for me. But wow, man, take some time out today
- 9:14Speaker 1: and be grateful for what you have. Stop complaining about
- 9:17Speaker 1: where you not, and think about where you are, and
- 9:20Speaker 1: then take it from there. And the next time you
- 9:22Speaker 1: make a list, make sure on that list you have
- 9:25Speaker 1: God's will. What does he want for you? Does God
- 9:28Speaker 1: create give everybody a gift and a talent. Some of
- 9:31Speaker 1: us never apply gifts and talents. We head off in
- 9:33Speaker 1: another direction. Then you wonder why your life ain't where
- 9:36Speaker 1: it's supposed to be. Have you ever thought about what
- 9:39Speaker 1: God gifted you to do? Have you ever thought about
- 9:41Speaker 1: doing that? And still skip what you want? I wanted
- 9:43Speaker 1: to play in the NBA, but I got to tell
- 9:45Speaker 1: you something. At dribbling and shooting and running all at
- 9:48Speaker 1: one time throwing me off a little bit. You know,
- 9:52Speaker 1: they just so I'm doing what I do. It's pretty cool.
- 9:55Speaker 1: You canna look at it that way? Okay, you're listeners
- 9:58Speaker 1: to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
