- 0:10Speaker 1: one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Yeah,
- 0:15Speaker 1: I do. Took me when I said, but I do,
- 0:18Speaker 1: like I say always, it just is a constant reminder
- 0:21Speaker 1: of how good God has been. So my question to
- 0:25Speaker 1: you is what's stopping you from having the life that
- 0:29Speaker 1: you want? What's stopping you from having the life that
- 0:33Speaker 1: you want? I know a lot of people who have
- 0:38Speaker 1: given up on achieving the life of their dreams, but
- 0:43Speaker 1: I know they'd still want them if they could get
- 0:46Speaker 1: to them. But they just allowed to settle for so
- 0:49Speaker 1: many reasons. So who I'm talking to is you today?
- 0:54Speaker 1: What's really at the core of stopping you? What is that?
- 0:59Speaker 1: Is it your friends or your associates. Is it the
- 1:03Speaker 1: fear of what you think somebody else will think of
- 1:06Speaker 1: you if you decide to change. Is it what I
- 1:09Speaker 1: used to call the call of the while? Is it
- 1:12Speaker 1: the fact that you keep thinking that the thing that
- 1:15Speaker 1: you're doing that's providing you these momentary moments of pleasure
- 1:20Speaker 1: that really ain't really good or healthy for you. You don't
- 1:24Speaker 1: want to stop doing that because you've got just a
- 1:26Speaker 1: little bit more something else you want to do. I
- 1:28Speaker 1: call that the call of the while. You know it's
- 1:31Speaker 1: just out there. Them streets is calling you, Them lights
- 1:33Speaker 1: is calling you. You know, them girls is calling you.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Them guys that's on the wrong side keep calling you.
- 1:39Speaker 1: You can't seem to make a decision about the right guy.
- 1:42Speaker 1: You keep picking the wrong guy all the time. What
- 1:45Speaker 1: is it that's stopping you from having the life that
- 1:48Speaker 1: you really want to have? So whatever the reason you're choosing,
- 1:52Speaker 1: that's the reason that's stopping you from having the life
- 1:56Speaker 1: that you want to have. It's no good because at
- 1:59Speaker 1: the end of to day, here's the real deal. See,
- 2:02Speaker 1: God is available, and God is available for all of us,
- 2:06Speaker 1: and God has a plan for all of us, and
- 2:09Speaker 1: God wants the very best for all of us. That's
- 2:12Speaker 1: the truth of the matter. So now what we're gonna
- 2:15Speaker 1: do to get started having that life? First of all,
- 2:19Speaker 1: if it's your friends, I want you to understand something.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Your friends can't save you. A lot of your friends
- 2:25Speaker 1: offer no real help for you. Most of your friends
- 2:28Speaker 1: don't have the answer themselves. I mean, it's just a
- 2:31Speaker 1: wide range of reasons and misery. Love company so usually
- 2:36Speaker 1: when your friends are in a bad position, they kind
- 2:39Speaker 1: of like company in that bad position. Your friends ain't
- 2:42Speaker 1: going to church, You're gonna be their friend. They don't
- 2:45Speaker 1: really want you to go to church. You know your
- 2:48Speaker 1: friends don't pray, so why would they offer up prayer
- 2:51Speaker 1: as a solution to you. You know, your friends don't
- 2:55Speaker 1: really really get the fact that if you treat people better,
- 3:00Speaker 1: people would treat you better. So what's that? So your
- 3:04Speaker 1: friends are a lot of times the reasons, you know,
- 3:07Speaker 1: to peer pressure of what and then the thought in
- 3:10Speaker 1: your mind of what they gonna think once they find
- 3:13Speaker 1: out I don't do what they do anymore. Who cares
- 3:16Speaker 1: what they think other than you? I mean, really, you
- 3:20Speaker 1: can't let what somebody thinks of you stop you from
- 3:24Speaker 1: having the best life you wanted to have. If I
- 3:27Speaker 1: went by that theory right there, I wouldn't I wouldn't
- 3:30Speaker 1: even be on this mic this morning. I would have
- 3:32Speaker 1: never become a stand up I would had I listened
- 3:35Speaker 1: to the people around me who clearly told me when
- 3:39Speaker 1: I quit my job to pursue this, boy, don't you
- 3:42Speaker 1: quit your job? You got a family. Boy, don't you
- 3:44Speaker 1: do this? You ain't got no bit that ain't no
- 3:47Speaker 1: security in that. Get yourself a job. Go down here,
- 3:50Speaker 1: and what's your brothers? Go to work over here? Go
- 3:53Speaker 1: to I heard all of that. I didn't let that
- 3:56Speaker 1: stop me from pursuing this. Why would you allow that
- 3:59Speaker 1: to stop you from pursuing your relationship with God so
- 4:02Speaker 1: you can have the best life you could possibly have?
- 4:05Speaker 1: You gang bang because they've convinced you that this is
- 4:09Speaker 1: the family situation and love that you don't have, and
- 4:12Speaker 1: they've convinced you that this is your only way, your
- 4:16Speaker 1: only source of getting over. And then you drum up
- 4:20Speaker 1: these ignorant reasons mans for staying with it. But they
- 4:24Speaker 1: sound so good when you listening to everybody else you're
- 4:28Speaker 1: surrounded by telling you why we gang banging? Why we
- 4:31Speaker 1: holding this block down? Why we slanging this thing here
- 4:34Speaker 1: right here? Why we letting it go like this here?
- 4:37Speaker 1: You keep listening to them when all in your heart
- 4:41Speaker 1: of hearts you know this's ain't right, You already know,
- 4:44Speaker 1: but you allow that form of the call of the
- 4:48Speaker 1: wile that wanting to be accepted by a group of
- 4:51Speaker 1: people who trying to get you to accept the way
- 4:54Speaker 1: so you can further. They progress to even prove that
- 4:57Speaker 1: you're worthy to be around them, You got to commit
- 5:00Speaker 1: some type of crime to even prove that you're worthy
- 5:03Speaker 1: to be around them. Then when you get busted on
- 5:06Speaker 1: the crime, what happens to that where your family are
- 5:09Speaker 1: Now they don't come down there to see you because
- 5:12Speaker 1: guess what, they can't turn in They idea to desk
- 5:15Speaker 1: at a law enforcement center. So now your homies can't
- 5:18Speaker 1: come visit you. And then you know your family back
- 5:21Speaker 1: out here, they ain't taking care of your family because
- 5:23Speaker 1: it's all about them. Then you learn that what is
- 5:26Speaker 1: it that's stopping you from having the life that you
- 5:29Speaker 1: always wanted to have? What is it? Why are you
- 5:32Speaker 1: a repeat offender? Why do you keep checking yourself back
- 5:37Speaker 1: into that institution? Why? Man, why won't you get it together?
- 5:42Speaker 1: Why won't you give God a try? Why won't you
- 5:45Speaker 1: disassociate yourself? Why would you continue to be a part
- 5:49Speaker 1: of a revolving door system and becoming a farm system
- 5:53Speaker 1: for these institutions that ain't got nothing for you? But
- 5:56Speaker 1: you keep going back in there. And then every time
- 5:58Speaker 1: you go in there, and then your little hoies or
- 6:00Speaker 1: your gang bangy, little little silly little friends try to
- 6:03Speaker 1: make you think that's a badge of honor. There ain't
- 6:06Speaker 1: no badge of honor. Man, that's one mold. What's one
- 6:09Speaker 1: more scratch on that record, that's one mode. That's one
- 6:12Speaker 1: more nail in that coffin. That's one step closer to
- 6:16Speaker 1: that third strike where you ain't gonna ever get out.
- 6:18Speaker 1: It's one step closer to that graveyard. You keep on.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Why would you not give God a try? Why would
- 6:25Speaker 1: you not go and see what your life could really be?
- 6:28Speaker 1: What is it that's stopping you? Because see, I got
- 6:31Speaker 1: news for you. That's nothing like waking up free. I
- 6:35Speaker 1: don't care who you are. There's nothing like waking up
- 6:40Speaker 1: with the joy in your heart. Now, if you ain't
- 6:42Speaker 1: gonna be free, get the joy in your heart, the
- 6:45Speaker 1: satisfaction of knowing that you're accomplishing something with your life.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Help somebody behind them balls, get in the program. Show
- 6:52Speaker 1: these young cats when they come in a better way.
- 6:54Speaker 1: But don't you dash sit there, man and just ride
- 6:58Speaker 1: it out, and man, just go and get the fullest
- 7:01Speaker 1: life that you can have. What you know what it
- 7:04Speaker 1: feels like to wake up and be on your way
- 7:07Speaker 1: somewhere knowing that you have something to accomplish that you
- 7:10Speaker 1: can change somebody that you can stop somebody from going
- 7:13Speaker 1: down the roads you went down. It's a whole lot
- 7:15Speaker 1: of ways to make your life better, But why would
- 7:18Speaker 1: you not go and have the best life you can have?
- 7:20Speaker 1: What is it that's stopping you? Really? Really? So, you
- 7:25Speaker 1: think that Satan really has your best interest at heart,
- 7:29Speaker 1: That the other thing your mama kept telling you about
- 7:31Speaker 1: praying you wasn't listening was you. But you know, it
- 7:34Speaker 1: ain't ever too late to get back to that. It
- 7:36Speaker 1: ain't ever too late to turn around, it ain't ever
- 7:39Speaker 1: too late to get your life together, it ain't ever
- 7:42Speaker 1: too late to seek God, and it ain't ever too
- 7:45Speaker 1: late to pray. Don't forget to pray, don't be ashamed
- 7:49Speaker 1: to pray, and don't be too proud to pray, because
- 7:52Speaker 1: prayer changes things. Prayer change people too. I'm a witness
- 7:57Speaker 1: to that. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
