- 0:00Speaker 1: Come on, huh, I sure will.
- 0:05Speaker 2: A good morning everybody.
- 0:07Speaker 1: You all listening to the voice, come on, dig me now,
- 0:10Speaker 1: one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Okay,
- 0:14Speaker 1: today is simple. I want to tell you. I want
- 0:20Speaker 1: to just talk to you about effort today. Just about effort.
- 0:27Speaker 1: You know, it's it's it's it's a word that people
- 0:30Speaker 1: use to describe sometimes trying. But what I found out
- 0:35Speaker 1: about trying is trying is just a noble way of
- 0:39Speaker 1: saying you didn't get it done. I tried when and
- 0:45Speaker 1: then everybody go, well, he tried, that was the best.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Well that's that's not exactly true, though, that that's that's
- 0:53Speaker 1: not exactly true. You are and I want to talk
- 0:56Speaker 1: to you about that because I don't want you to
- 0:59Speaker 1: be one of the people who just tried. See trying,
- 1:05Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta tell you to attempt something, You're
- 1:08Speaker 1: gonna have to first try, But I want you to
- 1:11Speaker 1: change your mindset from trying to getting it done.
- 1:17Speaker 2: See, that's a big difference.
- 1:19Speaker 1: I'm really more apt to listen to the person that
- 1:21Speaker 1: says to me, I'm gonna get it done. I'm gonna try.
- 1:25Speaker 1: What try does is it allows you to fail. It's
- 1:29Speaker 1: the person that has the mindset that I'm gonna get
- 1:32Speaker 1: it done. It's the person who changes the complexion of things.
- 1:37Speaker 1: I'm gonna get it done. It's very different than I'm
- 1:39Speaker 1: gonna try.
- 1:41Speaker 2: You know.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Look, man, I know this sounds a little harsh, but
- 1:44Speaker 1: you gotta stop feeding yourself these little old wise sayings
- 1:49Speaker 1: that ain't it was a valiant tried. Hey man, you
- 1:53Speaker 1: talk to anybody that took second place in the super
- 1:57Speaker 1: Bowl and see how they feel about their valiant try.
- 2:00Speaker 2: The only way.
- 2:03Speaker 1: To gain God's real blessings is you have to try something.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Steve backpeddling, Now, listen to me close.
- 2:15Speaker 1: You have to put forth an effort to allow God
- 2:22Speaker 1: to put his finger on something to bless on your behalf.
- 2:27Speaker 1: You must start to attempt now insaying getting it done
- 2:32Speaker 1: and I'm gonna try. That's a different of two different faiths.
- 2:36Speaker 1: To me, I'm just talking about me.
- 2:39Speaker 2: Now. You may be different. So I can't say this
- 2:42Speaker 2: about you, but I can say this about me.
- 2:46Speaker 1: If I say I'm gonna get it done, I have
- 2:50Speaker 1: a lot of faith in it. I Am going to
- 2:54Speaker 1: get it done because I just don't see failure as
- 2:57Speaker 1: an option. A lot of times Now, if somebody says
- 3:01Speaker 1: to me, like the Olympic team invited me out to
- 3:05Speaker 1: curl one day, which is throw these stones on the ice,
- 3:08Speaker 1: if you're not familiar with this very simple thing, and
- 3:11Speaker 1: so I said, man.
- 3:14Speaker 2: I'd like to give that a try.
- 3:17Speaker 1: I went in full well knowing I may not come
- 3:21Speaker 1: away from this little curling lesson as a person who
- 3:27Speaker 1: could make the Olympic team. I just wanted to try
- 3:29Speaker 1: it because I thought it looked cool and always wanted
- 3:32Speaker 1: to get it done. When I failed twice, I threw
- 3:35Speaker 1: a stone completely into the other lane. I lost that
- 3:40Speaker 1: little ice shoe. It shot out under me. But you
- 3:43Speaker 1: know what, I kept trying though. I kept trying until
- 3:48Speaker 1: I got four of them stones in that circle right
- 3:50Speaker 1: where I aim. But now had I given up after
- 3:55Speaker 1: I failed, after I threw that stone in the other lane,
- 3:59Speaker 1: after I shot my shoe down all the way to
- 4:02Speaker 1: the bottom side the little ice shoe they give you, I.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Never did it.
- 4:06Speaker 1: But because I was trying, something got me together a
- 4:10Speaker 1: little bit because of my effort, and it caused me
- 4:13Speaker 1: not to fall the next time, not to throw it
- 4:15Speaker 1: in the other lane, not to shoot my shoe to
- 4:18Speaker 1: the back of the wall. All of a sudden, my
- 4:21Speaker 1: trying became something. Now had I stayed out there and
- 4:25Speaker 1: it wasn't so cold, and I went back week after
- 4:28Speaker 1: week after week after week.
- 4:30Speaker 2: I promise you I could get it done.
- 4:35Speaker 1: I could at least know how to compete in a
- 4:38Speaker 1: game of curling. Might not be the best, I might
- 4:41Speaker 1: not win the championship, but I could have got it
- 4:44Speaker 1: done to the point where I could have competed in
- 4:46Speaker 1: a game of curling. So sometimes if you're scared to
- 4:50Speaker 1: say I'm gonna get it done, just go out there
- 4:52Speaker 1: and get started. You know, learn from every attempt that
- 4:57Speaker 1: you make. See, don't quit writing your self off as
- 5:00Speaker 1: a failure every time something don't go right. And when
- 5:03Speaker 1: I fail on that ice, I could have said, man,
- 5:05Speaker 1: I can't curl, But hold up, man, I'm watching four
- 5:08Speaker 1: other women out here curl, four of the dudes out
- 5:10Speaker 1: here curling, little kids out here curling.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Hold up, Pardner, you know, man.
- 5:14Speaker 1: So I learned when I threw that stone on the
- 5:17Speaker 1: other ice, when I when I failed, when when my
- 5:20Speaker 1: shoe shot off, I learned from every attempt a little
- 5:24Speaker 1: bit more about it. And then I said to myself
- 5:29Speaker 1: one point in time, man, I'm gonna get this stone
- 5:31Speaker 1: in that circle. I'm gonna get this stone in this circle.
- 5:36Speaker 1: And guess what I got it done. Now what you're
- 5:40Speaker 1: saying to me, Steve, I'm saying to you that you
- 5:42Speaker 1: gotta get started, that you got to put forth an effort.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Give God something to bless Oh God, bless me, Oh God,
- 5:49Speaker 1: bless me.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Bless you? What? Bless you? Where? Bless you? How?
- 5:55Speaker 1: Stop basing your results on what you're thinking. You gotta
- 5:58Speaker 1: think higher you get in your life, man, He allows
- 6:01Speaker 1: you to think higher, bigger, better more. I was sitting
- 6:06Speaker 1: up in my debt. I came up with a plan
- 6:08Speaker 1: to get out of debt in five years. I came
- 6:10Speaker 1: up with this plan right that was sitting up and
- 6:12Speaker 1: I was tripping on it. Now, I said, wait a minute, man,
- 6:15Speaker 1: hold up, this is what I came up with.
- 6:18Speaker 2: I said.
- 6:19Speaker 1: God created heaven in earth, all of it, the mountains,
- 6:25Speaker 1: the sky, the valleys, the oceans, trees, the birds.
- 6:31Speaker 2: The Indian Ocean, all of it.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Made all of it in six days, and then he
- 6:37Speaker 1: rested on the seven So why am I taking to
- 6:41Speaker 1: God the five year plan? If he can create heaven
- 6:46Speaker 1: and earth in six days, why am I walking in
- 6:50Speaker 1: there talking about help me in five years? How is
- 6:54Speaker 1: it gonna take God five years to getting me out
- 6:58Speaker 1: of debt? And he made heaven and earth in six
- 7:01Speaker 1: days through the math. Hell, man, I ain't that big.
- 7:05Speaker 1: You ain't that big. You ain't in that much trouble.
- 7:08Speaker 1: I ain't in that much trouble. See, God got a
- 7:11Speaker 1: way of showing you some things, man, but it's gonna
- 7:14Speaker 1: take some faith, and faith gonna take some effort on
- 7:17Speaker 1: your part.
- 7:17Speaker 2: Man, get out and do something. Man, you God'll bless.
- 7:20Speaker 1: You a little bit, and he give you a little
- 7:22Speaker 1: bit more courage, and then all them attempts you making
- 7:25Speaker 1: is gonna and all this so I'll try.
- 7:27Speaker 2: You know what that turned into. I'm gonna get it done.
- 7:29Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, that's what you
- 7:32Speaker 1: have to do, because trying to pay your rent and
- 7:35Speaker 1: not paying your rent is two different things. You could
- 7:38Speaker 1: you can try to play your pay your rent, or
- 7:40Speaker 1: you can get it done. Now how long you think
- 7:42Speaker 1: you gonna stay in that house trying? You got to
- 7:45Speaker 1: go with the mindset of getting it done. And if
- 7:47Speaker 1: you can put some stuff out there and give God
- 7:49Speaker 1: a chance to put his finger on and bless it
- 7:51Speaker 1: for you, the most stuff he can do for you.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Quit looking around what everybody else got, and gonna get
- 7:56Speaker 1: some of it for yourself.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Okay, all right here, listen, it's the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
