• 0:09
  Speaker 1: One and old is Steve Harvey. Uh huh? Got a
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: radio show? Yeah, man, what a blessing it is. I
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: can't even explain my whole life. My whole life is
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: a blessing. It really is, in spite of all the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: things that's happened, contraa to having the appearances of a blessing.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: As I look back on my life today, it all
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: happened for a reason. It all came together, it tied together,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and you know it's important. Man. I think a lot
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of people that asked me about my success and how
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I got here and how do I attribute in what
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: was the steps? I want to tell you what it is. Now.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Listen to me before I get started. Please understand that
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: everything that I tell you is faith based. Everything that
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I tell you is faith based. You can double check it.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: You can go behind me. Whatever your faith is. If
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you go back into the writings and your faith, it's
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: in there. It's in there. Now. I'm not telling you
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: anything new. I'm not giving you a new angle may
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: give you a different way of is saying it. You know,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: maybe hearing it back to yourself. But in essence, man,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I really do know that I'm not going to say
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: anything that you may not have heard, but I phrased
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: it in a different kind of way. And so this
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: series this week, I want to talk to you about
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: how to make it kind of a motivational series. And
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the first part, the most important component of it in
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: accomplishing what you want in your life is you have
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to identify the dream. This is the critical step. A
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: lot of people spend their life squandering and wandering around
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: because they never identify the dream. You have to identify
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the dream. You have to identify what it is that
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: you want, what it is that you hope for. You
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: have to have a goal in mind. You have to
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: have a destination, you know. And when you go outside
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and put the key in your car, you never go
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and put your key in the car and just get
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: it in and just drive, you know, unless you're trying
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: to clear your head or something. But if you talk
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: about going somewhere, you got to have a destination. You
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: gotta have somewhere you want to go, or else you're
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: just running around, you burning gas where you're going Now,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know, left here, right here, go here, go there.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: You know you must identify the dream. The dream is
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the single most important part of the component to making
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the success out yourself. God can't bless what you don't have.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: You can't get what you never give. Identify the dream.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: What is it that burns inside you so it keeps
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you awake at night? What is it, man that makes
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: you smile when you think about it? What is it,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: man that you can't seem to quite shape? Okay, so
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you go to college, right, you make a decision, which
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I disagree with you asking eighteen to a twenty one
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: year old to make a decision or what he wants
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to do and what he wants to be with the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: rest of his life. That's tough because guess what, this
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: young person doesn't really know himself or herself yet. So
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you're asking them to identify what it is at an
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: early age. What consequentially happens is that people get older
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and they wind up doing something else. So you get
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: a degree and you find out what your passion is
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: with something else. See, identifying that dream as early as
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you can is important. Now, whether you're young, or whether
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you're or whatever, your whatever, your identity of the dream
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: is that's first. Now, what you have to do then
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: is if I were you. Here is the part that
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: people never seem to weld together with that dream, that
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I want to be an astronaut, I want to be
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: a doctor, I want to be a club on, I
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: want to be a a DJ, I want to be
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: a ball player, I want to be a writer, I
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: want to be a whatever it is, it doesn't matter.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Somebody is that already, and somebody had it as a dream,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: So it's no dream too big. Okay, Once you identify
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the dream, here's the thing. The best way for that
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to happen is that dream should be tied directly to
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: your God given gift or talent. See that's the part
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: that people miss. You see Halle Berry on TV, and
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you want to have on one of the dresses on
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the red carpet, and you want to stand there and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: get the award, and you want to have the same
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: people had to do your hair to do Halle and
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: who do Beyonce? He all that's good, All that's good, man,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: But do you have the talent or the gift to
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: accomplish that? See, don't get outside your scope. I wanted
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to play in the NBA when I was eight years old.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: But something happened along the way. I didn't have skill set.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I discovered that when I ran as fast as I could,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the basketball was never with me. Man, that's an important
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: part of all. You know. I could jump, but I
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: normally didn't have a basketball. So now see that that
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: passion and that dream of being in the NBA was
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: not tied to my gift. My gift was when I
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: was sitting there watching them play basketball. I was the
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: little dude leaning against the fence that had a comment
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: about everything everybody did. That was it. I was the commentator,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the color commentator, and lord I was funny. It was
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: one of the few times I didn't stutter when I
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: was leaning. I gets the fish talking trash. But if
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: you took me to school, you took me to church,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you took me in front of somebody, you sent me
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: to the store. Man, that stuttering just came over the
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: top of me. I couldn't do it. I remember the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: first time I told somebody my dream is to be
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: on TV. Man, they laughed at me so hard that
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: they laughed me out the gym because I had a
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: stuttering problem. So that caused me never to tell it again.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: The best way to accomplish your dream is you got
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: to tie it to your gift, to the talent that
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: God has given you. You can't overlook that. See God
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: never created a person without giving them a talent or
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: a gift. You have something that you do, and the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: way to identify that is very simple. It is the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: thing that you do the absolute best with the least
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: amount of effort. What is that that you do that's
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: better than you do anything else with the least amount
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: of effort. You do this it's almost You can draw
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: without you can write, you can sing. You know how
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: to pull stuff apart and put it back together. You
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: know how to connect the dots and cross t's, and
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you know how to organize things and put people together.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: You know how to network. You know how to shoot
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: videos better than anybody. You know how to calm people down.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: When it's a conflict. That your school is something, they
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: come to you, all your friends come to you. They problem.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: There's a gift and the talent. You have to identify
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: what that is. Now, if you take that gift and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: talent that you are born with and you marry it
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: into your dream, you put those two in the dream.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: That's the number one thing. And here's a deal. You
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: can never give up on the dream. I don't care
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: how old you are. There's a scripture that says a
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: man without a dream or a vision shall perish. Think
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: about this. If you've given up on your dream, don't
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: it feel like you're going nowhere? You have a wake
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: up in the morning and just go, Man, this can't
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: be all to it. It's got to be more to
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: it than this. That's that seed, that dream, that talent,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: that gift that's in you, that needs watering and nurturing
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: and fertilize it to come out and grow. But you
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: got to identify. Man. Come on, and you can't give
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: up on your dream because now you got just the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: job that's helping you pay these bills. And now you
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: locked into the system where paying the bills is so
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: critical and living expenses on top of you that you
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: got to keep going to this job. So now you
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: give up on your dreams. That ain't how this thing work. Man.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: You can't ever give up on the dream. It's gonna
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: be a sacrifice to do that. To follow your dream,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have to let something go that's the scary part.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: That's the part where people don't want to let go
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: of the peanut to get the fruit. So you hang
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: on to your peanut. Now, the fruit out there, it's melons, grapes, bananas, pineapples,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: it's out fruit is out there, But you're so busy
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: hanging on to this peanut, that job that has got
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: you locked in, and you can't go out there and
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: enjoy the fruits of your life. You have to make
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: a decision. But decision is based on your dream and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: your gift. If you tie those two together, why not
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: take a shot at it. I mean, what you're waiting on.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Everything I tell you is faith based, so remember that too.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Now you got to take your faith along. But it
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: starts with the dream. You're listening to the Steve Harvey
