  Speaker 1: Come on, ah huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: you're listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: one and only Steve Harley got a radio show. Here
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: we go today. I think I have something for a
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: lot of people today, at least I hope I do.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: And this is about on your journey, And this is
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: about something that happens to us all. I mean, what
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: happens to all of us from time to time when
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: we get discouraged. What happens to all of us when
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: we feel like quitting, What happens to all of us
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: when we have that turnback moment. What happens to all
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: of us when it don't seem like it's going to
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: pan out? Because I want you to understand something that everyone,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: every single living soul, has those thoughts about some thing
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: at some point in their life. I mean, you know, look,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I've oftentimes been discouraged about things not happening as fast
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: as I like them. All things don't pan out the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: way I would like for them to have panned out.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's so many ways to get discouraged. But
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: what my encouragement to you is when discouragement comes is
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: understand this. It is a part of the growth process.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: It is a test. It is a test of your faith.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: How bad you want it, do you really believe? That's
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: all faith is is simply, and I've said this how
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: many times. Faith is the belief in things that you
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: cannot see. So when discourage comes, setbacks comes, it is
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: a test of your faith. At least it's been that
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: way for me. Now other people can explain it another way.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not other people. I can only give it to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you the way it has come to me and throughout
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: my life and man or man or man discouragement sometimes
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: it's tough to deal with because it seems at times
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: when you are discouraged that is so absolute that this
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: means the end, and if you allow it to set in,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: it can be just that the end of you, when
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: merely merely it was a test, that's all it is.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: But the majority of people that I know who are
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: not successful, or who have told me the story of
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: how they gave up, it was because at a moment
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: of discouragement that they allowed it to set in and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: it became so engulfing that it became the reason why
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't finish. And then they started justifying it with
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: hitt one that I hate to hear. Well, if it's
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: God's will, excuse me. If it's God's will that you fail.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: If it's God's will that you're not successful. If it's
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: God's will that you lay down and give up, it's
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: God's will that you allow yourself to amount to, not
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: to not reach your potential. That's God's will. That's not
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the God I know. That's not the God I served,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that's not the God I've read about. That's not the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: God I believe in. I'm sorry. I just my mother
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: always taught me something that he didn't bring me this
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: far to leave me. I just don't believe that, not
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: for a second. Now. Have I convinced myself for some things, yep?
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Have I allowed the devil to come into the picture
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and paint a different one from it? Yep? Yep, I've
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: done all of that. But you can't blame that on God. Now,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: come on, so when discouragement comes, try to look at
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: it if you can, as a test of your faith,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and you merely have to pass the test. It could
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: be for a day, a half a day, a few hours,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a week, a few weeks, it don't matter. Don't nobody
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: know how long the test period is. Your job is
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to keep the faith and keep moving. Keep the faith
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and keep moving, keep working, keep believing, keep hope alive.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: That's your job. If you do that, that's how you
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: pass the test. It could be over tomorrow, it could
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: be over in two weeks, it could be over in
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a month. You don't know. But all you got to
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: do is wake up and keep the faith and fight
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the discouraging feelings. And how do you do that? Steve?
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Now here we go. This is the part I know
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: about for show because how many times I've had to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: fight off discouragement in order to get to where God
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: wanted me to be. What do you do when you
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: become discouraged? Well, I think of the outcome. When I
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: get discouraged about a task, I think about the outcome. Man,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: what would it be like if I were to complete
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the task? What would it be like? Man? What would
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the outcome be for me? If I hung loan in there?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: If I didn't give up? If I imagine, I imagine
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: if I don't quit, I imagine, if I don't give up,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: what would it be like? Man? Suppose everything I'm hoping
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: for comes true? But if I don't quit and give up.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: That might just be the case. I start talking to
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: myself like that, I think of what the upside is.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: What's the upside to stay in with it? You see,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: all this is the same thing. I'm just giving you
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: different ways to look at it. I'm saying the exact
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: same thing over and over. But I'm just trying to
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: find the switch that connects in your mind where you
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: can say, Okay, man, I'm gonna hang in there. Because
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: if you think of the outcome, and the outcome is
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: appealing to you, if you imagine what it would be
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: like if you don't give up or you don't quit,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: if you think only of what the upside is to
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: stay in with it, And then I go, where can
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: this lead to? If I stay with it, man, and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the outcome comes true? What else could that lead me to?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Because I mean, there's always more to it. So where
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: else could this lead me to? What are the possibilities? Man?
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: What are the limitless possibilities? What could God possibly have
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: in store for me? If I just hang in there,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: if I pass this test of faith, if I just
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: pass this test, now, it ain't gonna be the only one.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: But you gotta get past this one. No, then you
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: gonna hear the smooth plane. Then it's gonna be another one.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be another one. Life ain't nothing but a
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: series of tests. Man. Man, when you're thinking about giving up,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: when you're discouraged, think of the outcome. Imagine what it
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: would be like if you don't quit, if you don't
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: give up, what's the upside to staying with it? Where
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: can this all lead to? What can this get you to?
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: If you do this and you get to where you
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: think you want to be? Oh my god, what's after that?
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: What are the limitless and endless possibilities of holding on
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: to your faith? What could really be out there for me? Man?
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: If I just pass this test, you gotta talk yourself
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: into hanging in there. You listenings The Steve Harvey Morning
