- 0:00Speaker 1: Come on, uh huh, I sure will A good morning
- 0:06Speaker 1: everybody you are listening to the voice, come on, dig
- 0:10Speaker 1: me now, one and all.
- 0:10Speaker 2: That Steve Harvey got a radio show. Okay, today is simple.
- 0:17Speaker 2: I want to tell you. I want to just talk
- 0:21Speaker 2: to you about effort today. Just about effort. You know,
- 0:27Speaker 2: it's it's it's it's a word that people use to
- 0:30Speaker 2: describe sometimes trying. But what I found out about trying
- 0:36Speaker 2: is trying is just a noble way of saying you
- 0:41Speaker 2: didn't get it done. I tried when and then everybody go, well,
- 0:46Speaker 2: he tried, that was the best. Well that's that's not
- 0:50Speaker 2: exactly true, though, that that's that's not exactly true. You
- 0:54Speaker 2: are and I want to talk to you about that
- 0:57Speaker 2: because I don't want you to be one of the
- 1:00Speaker 2: people who just tried. See trying, I mean, I gotta
- 1:06Speaker 2: tell you to attempt something, You're gonna have to first try,
- 1:10Speaker 2: But I want you to change your mindset from trying
- 1:15Speaker 2: to getting it done.
- 1:17Speaker 3: See, that's a big difference.
- 1:19Speaker 2: I'm really more apt to listen to the person that
- 1:21Speaker 2: says to me, I'm gonna get it done.
- 1:24Speaker 3: I'm gonna try.
- 1:25Speaker 2: What try does is it allows you to fail it's
- 1:29Speaker 2: the person that has the mindset that I'm gonna get
- 1:32Speaker 2: it done. It's the person who changes the complexion of things.
- 1:36Speaker 2: I'm gonna get it done. It's very different than I'm
- 1:39Speaker 2: gonna try.
- 1:41Speaker 3: You know.
- 1:41Speaker 2: Look, man, I know this sounds a little harsh, but
- 1:44Speaker 2: you gotta stop feeding yourself these little old wise sayings
- 1:49Speaker 2: that ain't it was a valiant tried. Hey man, you
- 1:53Speaker 2: talk to anybody that took second place in the super
- 1:57Speaker 2: Bowl and see how they feel about their valiant try.
- 2:00Speaker 3: The only way.
- 2:03Speaker 2: To gain God's real blessings is you have to try something.
- 2:10Speaker 3: Steve you backpeddling, now, listen to me close.
- 2:15Speaker 2: You have to put forth an effort to allow God
- 2:22Speaker 2: to put his finger on something to bless on your behalf.
- 2:27Speaker 2: You must start to attempt now in saying getting it
- 2:32Speaker 2: done and I'm gonna try. That's a different of two
- 2:35Speaker 2: different faiths to me that I'm just talking about me. Now,
- 2:40Speaker 2: you may be different. So I can't say this about you,
- 2:43Speaker 2: but I can say this about me. If I say
- 2:47Speaker 2: I'm gonna get it done, I have a lot of
- 2:51Speaker 2: faith in it. I Am going to get it done
- 2:55Speaker 2: because I just don't see failure as an option a
- 2:58Speaker 2: lot of times now if somebody says to me, like
- 3:02Speaker 2: the Olympic team invited me out to curl one day,
- 3:06Speaker 2: which is throw these stones on the ice, if you're
- 3:08Speaker 2: not familiar with this very simple thing, and so I said, man,
- 3:14Speaker 2: I'd like to give that a try. I went in
- 3:19Speaker 2: full well knowing I may not come away from this
- 3:22Speaker 2: little curling lesson as a person who.
- 3:27Speaker 3: Could make the Olympic team.
- 3:28Speaker 2: I just wanted to try it because I thought it
- 3:30Speaker 2: looked cool and always wanted to get it done. When
- 3:33Speaker 2: I failed twice, I threw a stone completely into the
- 3:37Speaker 2: other lane. I lost that little ice shoe. It shot
- 3:41Speaker 2: out under me. But you know what, I kept trying though.
- 3:46Speaker 2: I kept trying until I got four of them stones
- 3:49Speaker 2: in that circle right where I aim. But now had
- 3:53Speaker 2: I given up after I failed, after I threw that
- 3:57Speaker 2: stone in the other lane, after I shot my shoe
- 4:01Speaker 2: down all the way to the bottom side, the little
- 4:03Speaker 2: ice shoe they give you. I never what did it,
- 4:05Speaker 2: But because I was trying, something got me together a
- 4:10Speaker 2: little bit because of my effort, and it caused me
- 4:13Speaker 2: not to fall the next time, not to throw it
- 4:15Speaker 2: in the other lane, not to shoot my shoe to the.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Back of the wall. All of a sudden, my trying
- 4:22Speaker 3: became something.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Now had I stayed out there and it wasn't so cold,
- 4:27Speaker 2: and I went back week after week after week after week.
- 4:30Speaker 3: I promise you I could get it done.
- 4:35Speaker 2: I could at least know how to compete in a
- 4:38Speaker 2: game of curling.
- 4:39Speaker 3: Might not be the best.
- 4:41Speaker 2: I might not win the championship, but I could have
- 4:44Speaker 2: got it done to the point where I could have
- 4:46Speaker 2: competed in a game of curling.
- 4:48Speaker 3: So sometimes if you're scared.
- 4:50Speaker 2: To say I'm gonna get it done, just go out
- 4:52Speaker 2: there and get started.
- 4:54Speaker 3: You know, learn from every attempt that you make.
- 4:58Speaker 2: See, don't quit writing your self off as a failure
- 5:01Speaker 2: every time something don't go right. When I fail on
- 5:04Speaker 2: that ice, I could have said, man, I can't curl,
- 5:06Speaker 2: But hold up, man, I'm watching four other women out
- 5:09Speaker 2: here curl, four of the dudes out here curl, the
- 5:11Speaker 2: little kids out here curling, old little Pardner, you know, man,
- 5:14Speaker 2: So I learned when I threw that stone on the
- 5:17Speaker 2: other ice, when I when I failed, when when my
- 5:20Speaker 2: shoe shot off, I learned from every attempt a little
- 5:23Speaker 2: bit more about it. And then I said to myself
- 5:29Speaker 2: one point in time. Man, I'm gonna get this stone
- 5:31Speaker 2: in that circle. I'm gonna get this stone in this circle.
- 5:36Speaker 2: And guess what I got it done. Now what you're
- 5:39Speaker 2: saying to me, Steve, I'm saying to you that you
- 5:42Speaker 2: gotta get started, That you got to put forth an effort.
- 5:46Speaker 2: Give God something to bless. Oh God, bless me, Oh God,
- 5:49Speaker 2: bless me.
- 5:50Speaker 3: Bless you? What? Bless you? Where? Bless you? How?
- 5:55Speaker 2: Stop basing your results on what you're thinking. You gotta
- 5:58Speaker 2: think higher. You get God in your life, man, He
- 6:01Speaker 2: allows you to think higher, bigger, better more. I'm sitting
- 6:06Speaker 2: up in my debt. I came up with a plan
- 6:08Speaker 2: to get out of debt in five years. I came
- 6:10Speaker 2: up with this plan, right, I was sitting up and
- 6:12Speaker 2: I was tripping on it. Now, I said, wait a minute, man,
- 6:15Speaker 2: hold up, this is what I came up with. I said,
- 6:19Speaker 2: God created heaven in earth, all of it, the mountains,
- 6:25Speaker 2: the sky, the valleys, the oceans, trees, the birds.
- 6:31Speaker 3: The Indian Ocean, all of it.
- 6:32Speaker 2: Made all of it in six days, and then he
- 6:37Speaker 2: rested on the seven So why am I taking to
- 6:41Speaker 2: God the five year plan? If he can create heaven
- 6:46Speaker 2: and Earth in six days. Why am I walking in
- 6:50Speaker 2: there talking about help me in five years? How is
- 6:54Speaker 2: it gonna take God five years to getting me out
- 6:58Speaker 2: of debt? And he made Heaven and Earth in six days?
- 7:01Speaker 2: Through the math? Hell, man, I ain't that big. You
- 7:05Speaker 2: ain't that big. You ain't in that much trouble. I
- 7:08Speaker 2: ain't in that much trouble. See, God got a way
- 7:11Speaker 2: of showing you some things, man, But it's gonna take
- 7:14Speaker 2: some faith, and faith gonna take some effort on your part. Man,
- 7:18Speaker 2: get out and do something. Man, you God will bless
- 7:20Speaker 2: you a little bit and he give you a little
- 7:22Speaker 2: bit more courage. And then all them attempts you making
- 7:25Speaker 2: is gonna and all this so I'll try. You know
- 7:27Speaker 2: what that turned into. I'm gonna get it done. And
- 7:30Speaker 2: at the end of the day, that's what you have
- 7:32Speaker 2: to do, because trying to pay your rent and not
- 7:35Speaker 2: paying your rent is two different things. You could you
- 7:38Speaker 2: can try to play your pay your rent, or you
- 7:40Speaker 2: can get it done. Now, how long you think you
- 7:42Speaker 2: gonna stay in that house trying? You got to go
- 7:45Speaker 2: with the mindset of getting it done. And if you
- 7:47Speaker 2: can put some stuff out there and give God a
- 7:50Speaker 2: chance to put his finger on and bless it for you,
- 7:52Speaker 2: the most stuff he can do for you. Quit looking
- 7:54Speaker 2: around at what everybody else got, and gonna get some
- 7:56Speaker 2: of it for yourself. Okay, all right here?
