  Speaker 1: Come on, I sure will. Good morning everybody you are
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: listening to the voice, come on, dig me now what
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: it only? Steve Harvey got a radio show? Man. I
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: love it when I run up into people and they
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: say that to me. They say, hey, Steve Harvey got
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: a radio show. Then they wink at me. I know
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: they listening. You know, I got a lot off my
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: chest yesterday. I wanted to clean some things up. And
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I appreciate y'all giving me a minute because sometimes, you know,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: you just got to say some things out loud. Not complaining,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: but hey, just verbalizing, but realizing that I got to
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: keep going anyway. And that's my words this morning to
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: you that I want you to keep pushing no matter
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: what happens. I want to share something with you that's important,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: that's very very important. See, you have to give God
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: something too less. You know, if your prayer is asking
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: for God's blessings, you got to give him something to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: work with. Now. You know, you gotta show the spirit
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: of appreciation or gratitude. You gotta let him know that
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: you're in it for the long haul. No matter what happens.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Don't turn around. You will never ever see what the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: end could be. If you turn around and go back,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: you'll never know what the end could have been had
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: you stuck it out. You'll never know how good it
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: could have gotten had you not just weathered the storm.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: That's the thing that gets most people. They get tough
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: for him, It get hard for him, and then they
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: let doubts set in, and then those doubts become facts
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and the next thing you know, they give up. Had
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: you not given up, or had you given your best,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: what the results or outcome could have been. I look
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: back on my life on so many occasions where in
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: college I wasn't giving my best, I flunked out. Now
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: it's easy to look at my life now and go, yeah,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: but look at you now. But back then, man, it
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: cost me for so many years that failing to finish
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: that not giving my all, it cost me a number
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: of years. I wish I could say that it didn't
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: mean nothing, that it was just a blimp on the
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: radar screen screen, but at the time it was major.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And so you have a lot of decisions in your
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: life that are happening now. You may be in your twenties,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: your late teens, you could be in your early thirties
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and it's happening. But guess what you'll eventually get through it?
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Provided one thing, you never give up. You never turn
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: around and go back. Had I written myself off because
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: of one failure? See, and this is where so many
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: people go wrong at too. You write yourself off after
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: you failed at something, the one thing you thought you
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: wanted to accomplish, and you failed at it. Now you
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: write yourself off as a failure. Now you go settle
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: on into life and just see what hand you get.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Had when I flunked out of college, had I written
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: myself off as a failure, I wouldn't be here today.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: When I lost my carpet cleaner company, I would have
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: written myself as a failure, and I wouldn't be here today.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: When I didn't become a diamond distributed in Amway or
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a direct distributor in Amway, even I would have written
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: myself as a failure, and I wouldn't be here today.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: When I bought a distribution kit to become a distributor
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: of the Bohemian Diet and I didn't make it, I
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: would have written myself as a failure. When I became
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: an Al Williams distributor and I didn't make it, I
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: would have written myself as a failure and I wouldn't
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: be here today. Oh, I got a list for you.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: When I got laid off at for a motor company
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: and I written myself as a failure, I wouldn't have
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: made it. Do you need some more? Because I have
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: a story filled with mishaps. I have a story filled
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: with failures. Couple of things now, the grace of God
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and his mercy which is available to us all. See
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: that's the key, y'all, because of his mercy, because of
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: his willingness to forgive and to even un to stand
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: why we do the things we do. In all of
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: my shortcomings, failed marriages I'm talking about, man got it
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: all wrong. Can't blame nobody else. It's just me, Steve
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: ain't have it together at that point in life. I've
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: could have written myself as a failure the first time.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I could have. I just could have gave up on
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: it after the second one. And please know that this
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: is an admission. This ain't bragging. So before you start
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: in with me, understand what I'm saying. I'm pointing out
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: in my life a series of missteps and failures. But
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: how I still get here today. Couple of things. God's
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: grace and mercy is first. But that's the key that's
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: for everybody. See if it's God's willingness to forget you,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and God's understanding of why we do what we do
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: because he said we wasn't gonna be perfect. So in
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: all of your imperfections, your creator told you you would
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: not be perfect. He's said to you, it's out there.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I don't care which one of the books you read,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: it tells you that. So guess what. With that in mind,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: he has a grace that he has. It's like a
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: grace period. It's like when you don't pay your insurance
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: premium on the day that is due. The next day,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: they don't just cancel your insurance premium. They have a
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: grace period because they ain't trying to stop this money
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: from coming in. But when it comes to God, there's
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: no money required. He just gives you the grace freely.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: It don't cost you nothing. See, you gotta tap into that, y'all.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: You gotta get in touch with that, because that's an
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: important part to making it understanding that his grace is available.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: So when you make a mistake, so when you fail
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: at it He has a loophole in the contract with
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: him that allows you to make mistakes, that allows you
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to get it wrong, that allows you to fail time
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: and time and time again. But if you never give up,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: if you keep getting up, if you keep trying, if
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: you keep striving, if you keep making the effort to
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: go forward and not go back, God has a blessing
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: for you, and He has it in abundance for you,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: and God will give it to you at the right time.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: But you got to be ready. Oh, I want it
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to be successful. But if he had given it to
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: me back then, I wouldn't have handled it correctly because
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I would have made some more mistakes along the way.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: So you make the mistakes to learn the lessons. Lord,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: ain't God been good to me? I ain't gonna lie
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: to you. Cool me with the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
