- 0:00Speaker 1: Come on, I sure will.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Come morning, everybody you are listening to the voice, come on,
- 0:09Speaker 2: diggy now going and only Steve Harvey got a radio show.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Man.
- 0:16Speaker 2: I love it when I run up into people and
- 0:18Speaker 2: they say that to me. They say, hey, Steve Harvey
- 0:20Speaker 2: got a radio show. Then they wink at me. I
- 0:22Speaker 2: know they listening. You know, I got a lot off
- 0:25Speaker 2: my chest yesterday. I wanted to clear some things up.
- 0:27Speaker 2: And I appreciate y'all giving me a minute because sometimes,
- 0:30Speaker 2: you know, you just got to say some things out loud.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Not complaining, but hey, just verbalizing, but realizing that I
- 0:38Speaker 2: got to keep going anyway. And that's my words this
- 0:41Speaker 2: morning to you that I want you to keep pushing
- 0:47Speaker 2: no matter what happens. I want to share something with
- 0:51Speaker 2: you that's important, that's very, very important. See, you have
- 0:57Speaker 2: to give God something too blessed. You know, if your
- 1:02Speaker 2: prayer is asking for God's blessings, you got to give
- 1:06Speaker 2: him something to work with.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Now. You know, you.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Gotta show the spirit of appreciation or gratitude. You gotta
- 1:18Speaker 2: let him know that you're in it for the long haul,
- 1:22Speaker 2: no matter what happens. Don't turn around. You will never
- 1:27Speaker 2: ever see what the end could be. If you turn
- 1:33Speaker 2: around and go back, you'll never know what the end
- 1:36Speaker 2: could have been had you stuck it out. You'll never
- 1:41Speaker 2: know how good it could have gotten had you not
- 1:46Speaker 2: just weathered the storm. That's the thing that gets most people.
- 1:54Speaker 2: They get tough for him, It get hard for him,
- 1:57Speaker 2: and then they let doubts set in, and then those
- 2:00Speaker 2: doubts become facts and the next thing you know, they
- 2:04Speaker 2: give up. Had you not given up, or had you
- 2:08Speaker 2: given your best, what the results or outcome could have been.
- 2:12Speaker 2: I look back on my life on so many occasions
- 2:17Speaker 2: where in college I wasn't giving my best.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Now flunked out.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Now, it's easy to look at my life now and go, yeah,
- 2:26Speaker 2: but look at you now.
- 2:28Speaker 1: But back then, man, it cost me for so many years.
- 2:34Speaker 2: That failing to finish that not giving my all, it
- 2:40Speaker 2: cost me a number of years. I wish I could
- 2:45Speaker 2: say that it didn't mean nothing, that it was just
- 2:47Speaker 2: a blimp on the radar Skins screen, But.
- 2:49Speaker 1: At the time it was major.
- 2:52Speaker 2: And so you have a lot of decisions in your
- 2:54Speaker 2: life that are happening now. You may be in your twenties,
- 2:58Speaker 2: your late teens, you could be in your ear thirties
- 3:00Speaker 2: and it's happening. But guess what you'll eventually get through it?
- 3:06Speaker 2: Provided one thing, you never give up. You never turn
- 3:10Speaker 2: around and go back. Had I written myself off because
- 3:15Speaker 2: of one failure?
- 3:16Speaker 1: See, and this is where so many people go wrong
- 3:19Speaker 1: at too.
- 3:20Speaker 2: You write yourself off after you failed at something, the
- 3:24Speaker 2: one thing you thought you wanted to accomplish, and you
- 3:27Speaker 2: failed at it. Now you write yourself off as a failure.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Now you go settle on into life and just see
- 3:34Speaker 2: what hand you get. Had when I flunked out of college,
- 3:39Speaker 2: had I written myself off as a failure, I wouldn't
- 3:42Speaker 2: be here today. When I lost my carpet cleaner company,
- 3:46Speaker 2: I would have written myself of as a failure. And
- 3:48Speaker 2: I wouldn't be here today. When I didn't become a
- 3:51Speaker 2: diamond distributed in Amway or a direct distributor in Amway,
- 3:56Speaker 2: even I would have written myself as a failure, and
- 4:00Speaker 2: I wouldn't be here today. When I bought a distribution
- 4:04Speaker 2: kit to become a distributor of the Bohemian Diet and
- 4:10Speaker 2: I didn't make it, I would have written myself as
- 4:13Speaker 2: a failure. When I became an Al Williams distributor and
- 4:16Speaker 2: I didn't make it, I would have written myself as
- 4:18Speaker 2: a failure and I wouldn't be here today.
- 4:21Speaker 1: Oh, I got a list for you.
- 4:24Speaker 2: When I got laid off at for a motor company
- 4:27Speaker 2: and I written myself as a failure, I wouldn't have
- 4:29Speaker 2: made it. Do you need some more? Because I have
- 4:35Speaker 2: a story filled with mishaps. I have a story filled
- 4:41Speaker 2: with failures. Couple of things now, the grace of God
- 4:46Speaker 2: and his mercy which is available to us all. See
- 4:50Speaker 2: that's the key, y'all, because of his mercy, because of
- 4:55Speaker 2: his willingness to forgive and to even under.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Why we do the things we do.
- 5:04Speaker 2: In all of my shortcomings, failed marriages I'm talking about,
- 5:10Speaker 2: man got it all wrong. Can't blame nobody else. It's
- 5:15Speaker 2: just me, Steve ain't have it together at that point
- 5:18Speaker 2: in life. I've could have written myself as a failure
- 5:22Speaker 2: the first time.
- 5:24Speaker 1: I could have.
- 5:25Speaker 2: I just could have gave up on it after the
- 5:27Speaker 2: second one. And please know that this is an admission.
- 5:31Speaker 2: This ain't bragging. So before you start in with me,
- 5:34Speaker 2: understand what I'm saying. I'm pointing out in my life
- 5:39Speaker 2: a series of missteps and failures, but how I still
- 5:45Speaker 2: get here today. Couple of things. God's grace and mercy
- 5:51Speaker 2: is first. But that's the key that's for everybody. See
- 5:56Speaker 2: if it's God's willingness to forgive you, and God's understanding
- 6:03Speaker 2: of why we do what we do because he said.
- 6:05Speaker 1: We wasn't gonna be perfect.
- 6:08Speaker 2: So in all of your imperfections, your creator.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Told you you would not be perfect. He's said to you,
- 6:15Speaker 1: it's out there. I don't care which one of the
- 6:17Speaker 1: books you read, it tells you that. So guess what.
- 6:23Speaker 2: With that in mind, he has a grace that he has.
- 6:28Speaker 2: It's like a grace period. It's like when you don't
- 6:30Speaker 2: pay your insurance premium on the day that is due.
- 6:33Speaker 2: The next day, they don't just cancel your insurance premium.
- 6:37Speaker 2: They have a grace period because they ain't trying to
- 6:41Speaker 2: stop this money from coming in. But when it comes
- 6:44Speaker 2: to God, there's no money required. He just gives you
- 6:48Speaker 2: the grace freely. It don't cost you nothing. See, you
- 6:51Speaker 2: gotta tap into that, y'all. You gotta get in touch
- 6:54Speaker 2: with that, because that's an important part to making it
- 6:57Speaker 2: understanding that His grace is available when you make a mistake.
- 7:02Speaker 1: So when you fail at it.
- 7:05Speaker 2: He has a loophole in the contract with him that
- 7:08Speaker 2: allows you to make mistakes, that allows you to get
- 7:11Speaker 2: it wrong, that allows you to fail.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Time and time and time again.
- 7:16Speaker 2: But if you never give up, if you keep getting up,
- 7:19Speaker 2: if you keep trying, if you keep striving, if you
- 7:23Speaker 2: keep making the effort to go forward and not go back,
- 7:27Speaker 2: God has a blessing for you, and He has it
- 7:30Speaker 2: in abundance for you, and God will give it to
- 7:33Speaker 2: you at the right time. But you got to be ready. Oh,
- 7:39Speaker 2: I want it to be successful. But if he had
- 7:42Speaker 2: given it to me back then, I wouldn't have handled
- 7:45Speaker 2: it correctly because I would have made some more mistakes
- 7:48Speaker 2: along the way.
- 7:50Speaker 1: So you make the mistakes to learn the lessons. Lord,
- 7:55Speaker 1: ain't God been good to me? I ain't gonna lie
- 7:57Speaker 1: to you. Cool Steve Harvey Morning Show
