  Speaker 1: Come on, I sure will.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Good morning everybody. You listen to the voice, come on,
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: dig me now, one and only. Steve Harvey got a
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: radio show. Yeah, man, Steve Harvey got.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: A radio show. Trying to do something with it too, man.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: You know, I was having a conversation the other day
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: with a young person and they were telling me how
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: they felt that their life was stuck, that their life
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: was in a rut, that they didn't know what to
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: do next. And one of the things that was causing
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: them this sadness or this depression. I mean, they're really
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: really into something right now. One of the things that
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: was causing it was the fact that they had made
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: a list of things they wanted to accomplish by a
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: certain age, and that age they just had a birthday
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: recently and they were looking at the list and the
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: list hadn't been fulfilled, and because that list hadn't been.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Fulfilled, they were really really sad about it. You know.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: One of the things that they had on.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: The list was marriage, kids, And I don't know everything
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: else that was on the list, but that was one
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: of them. And because she had reached a certain age
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: and she wasn't married and she didn't have the kids,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: and she had just celebrated a birthday. She's gone into
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: this mode of sadness whereas really really taken a toll
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: on her. And as I was learning about her situation,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I was thinking about it and I just wanted to
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: share this with you all this morning, that one of
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the things is about making a list about what you want,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: which I happen to be a proponent of. I do
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: it myself. People have dream boards. I have a goal sheet.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I've been doing it for years. It's a wonderful way
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: to set goals and to keep it in front of
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: you as a constant reminder. And I always go over
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: this gold list every day, you know, I mean I
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: go with it all the time every day. Sometimes I
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: miss a day here and there, but mostly every day
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I pull my goal sheet out and I look at it,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I read it. So I was going to these rallies
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: and I was learning about, you know, people who are
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: successful in how they kept their mind writing possible. And
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: one of the things I learned was to make these
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: dream boards, these lists, these goal sheets. And in making
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: a goal sheet, and you make the sheet according to
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: what you want, think about one thing. When you made
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: your goal sheet about what you wanted. Does your goal
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: sheet have on it what God wants from you? Did
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: you ask in any of this what was His will
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: in your life?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Look, man, what we want oftentimes is not what He
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: wants for us. And you know, if you're fighting against
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: what you were created for, if you're fighting against.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: His will, I mean, what do you want to happen? See?
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Don't be so hard.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: On yourself when you look at your goal sheet and
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: you look at what you've not become what you thought
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: was a great idea. Don't be so hard on yourself
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: because you just made a mindor mistake. As do most people,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: we oftentimes make our goals and set our goals up
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: without ever considering what is it that God wants from us.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: We keep talking about what we want without ever finding
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: out and knowing what it is God wants for us. Well,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: guess what, man, Maybe you're fighting against the grain. Maybe
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: you just a salmon heading upstream. That's a tough fight upstream.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Not all salmons get up to the spawning grounds, you know.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Some of them don't make it upstream, you know, but
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: all of them, nearly all of them except the ones
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: that's killed by pray. When they're spawn. They go out
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: to the ocean. That's cool because you're going because you're
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: going with the grain. You're going downstream, you're going with
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the flow. That's but when it's time to go against
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the grain, it's tough. And a lot of us have
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: just been going against the grain for all of these years.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: But you know what, listen, man, I did it. I
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: know a lot of people who did it. Very few
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: people get it right from the very beginning. Man, you
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: got to stumble through life sometimes sometimes you got to
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: fall through life. You got to make a lot of mistakes, man,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: But these mistakes are not failures. You know, when you
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: fail at something, don't look at it as a failure.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Don't look at yourself as a failure. Because you're thirty
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: and your goals ain't reached that you had on your list,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: that was your list. What about the things that's going right.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Stop looking at what you're not. Take some time out
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and thank God for what you are. How about the
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: fact that you keep waking up to you know, you
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: get depressed about these birthdays. You really want to throw
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: yourself in some depression, miss a birthday.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: You really got a problem.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Now, look at where you are you keep reaching birthdays,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: that's a glorious blessing. You keep waking up. You got
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: your health, You've accomplished something. Something on your list is done.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: People spend too much time on the negative side, and
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: you're just throwing yourself into depression. So what, you want
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: to be married by a certain age and you wanted
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: to have kids. Okay, cool, you could have done all
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: that with the wrong person. There's a blessing in not
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: being married to the wrong person. There's a blessing in
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: not having kids and nobody to help you raise it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: There's a blessing in that man, you're talking to somebody
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: who can tell it to you. You can marry the
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: wrong person if you want to. I'm telling you you're
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: gonna be up in some mess you can't count on.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: So instead of being angry because you're not married you
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: don't have kids, why don't you thank God the man.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Maybe he spared you from some misery here. Maybe you
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: could have married the wrong person. Maybe you have kids
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: and you're not really to be a mother or father.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: You got to look at the upside, man, Quit looking
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: at what you don't have. Take some time to thank
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: God for what you do have. When you do that,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: you make more room for blessings to flow into your life.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying how God thinks, because I really don't know,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: but I'm telling you if a person comes to me
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: and I always give a person something and they never
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: appear grateful or they never say thank you, please know
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: you can quit.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Coming to me. Now.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I don't notice how God works because I've gone back
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: to him several times without being grateful of thanking him,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: and he's filled my basket up again.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: So I really think he's not like that.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: But I can't make the call for sure, but I
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: think at one point in time, me it's just me talking.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I'd be a little ticked off at somebody who was
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: always taking, taking, taking, and never showing any gratitude. At
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: one point in time, I would just stop the flow
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: of the take. You know, you just you can't take
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: me more from me. That's what I would do.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not calling it like that because I ain't him,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: but I know he's merciful, he's full of goodness, and
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: he and he'll forgive you. And thank God he does
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: that because he's show enough done it for me. But wow, man,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: take some time out today and be grateful for what
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: you have, stop complaining about where you not, and think
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: about where you are, and then take it from there.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: And the next time you make a list, make sure
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: on that list you have God's will. What does he
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: want for you? Does God create give everybody a gift
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: and a talent. Some of us never apply gifts and talents.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: We head off in another direction. Then you wonder why
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: your life ain't where it's supposed to be. Have you
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: ever thought about what God gifted you to do? Have
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: you ever thought about doing that? And still skip what
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: you want? I wanted to play in the NBA, but
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you something at dribbling and shooting
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: and running all at one time, throwing me off a
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: little bit. You know, It's so I'm doing what I do.
• 7:56
