- 0:07Speaker 2: listening to the voice, come on, dig me now, one
- 0:10Speaker 2: and only Steve Harvey. I got a radio show, just
- 0:15Speaker 2: trying to give God some back, just some back of
- 0:20Speaker 2: what even gave me, just a portion, you know. Just
- 0:24Speaker 2: I'm just trying, man, to to to show some type
- 0:28Speaker 2: of gratitude for all his blessings. I'm just trying to, man,

- 0:46Speaker 2: come on, man, you could do better. I know you can.
- 0:49Speaker 2: You know saying and you know what I had to do.
- 0:51Speaker 2: I had to stop saying I'm gonna try to do better,
- 0:55Speaker 2: and I just had to say, hey, man, I'm going
- 0:57Speaker 2: to do better. You know, Try is just to put
- 1:01Speaker 2: forth in e F and then if it don't work,
- 1:02Speaker 2: well okay. But if you make up in your mind
- 1:05Speaker 2: that I'm going to do something, then trying isn't enough.
- 1:09Speaker 2: It's getting it done is the only thing that matters. See,
- 1:12Speaker 2: it's the difference between doing and trying. We're gonna try
- 1:15Speaker 2: to win the game, or we're gonna go out here
- 1:17Speaker 2: to win the game.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Now, trying to win the game means that you could lose.
- 1:22Speaker 2: But when you got in your mind made up, most
- 1:24Speaker 2: athletes will tell you that they go out there with
- 1:26Speaker 2: the full intent and purpose of winning and winning. Only
- 1:31Speaker 2: see they don't put the second place finish on the
- 1:33Speaker 2: cover of Sports Illustrated.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Second place don't get you there. You you got to win.
- 1:39Speaker 2: And now take it out of the scope of athletics,
- 1:41Speaker 2: but keep it in that type of analogy in life. Man,
- 1:45Speaker 2: you just want to You want to win in life,
- 1:47Speaker 2: don't you. I mean, at the end of the day,
- 1:49Speaker 2: don't you want to be on the cover of Sports
- 1:51Speaker 2: Illustrated of life?
- 1:52Speaker 1: Don't you want to be recognized for your hard work?
- 1:55Speaker 2: Don't you want, you know, to be recognized within the
- 1:59Speaker 2: bonus structure down at your job. Don't you want to
- 2:01Speaker 2: have your plaque up on the wall down at your job.
- 2:04Speaker 1: I mean most people do. Some people could care less.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Some people don't care about looking good or being their best,
- 2:09Speaker 2: and that's cool, But I ain't talking to them though.
- 2:12Speaker 2: I'm talking to you. I'm talking to those of you
- 2:15Speaker 2: who want to be the best you can be. You know,
- 2:17Speaker 2: people kill me when they getting mad at people, and
- 2:21Speaker 2: he Brown knows and he all up on the employee
- 2:23Speaker 2: of the month man, the dude doing his job to
- 2:25Speaker 2: the best of his ability, and he getting recognized for it.
- 2:28Speaker 2: What they got to do with all that you're talking about?
- 2:30Speaker 2: Because you ain't up there. There's amazing, man, how people
- 2:33Speaker 2: describe other people's success.
- 2:35Speaker 1: He's so lucky. Lucky?
- 2:37Speaker 2: Hey man, do they kind of get you a little
- 2:39Speaker 2: bit when people call you lucky? Well, let me tell
- 2:41Speaker 2: you what luck really is, y'all. Lucky is when hard
- 2:44Speaker 2: work bumps up into opportunity. Some people call that luck,
- 2:49Speaker 2: But hold on, let's think about this. If you wasn't
- 2:52Speaker 2: working hard, an opportunity presented itself, what would you call that?
- 2:57Speaker 2: But see, when you've been working hard, an opportunity presents
- 3:00Speaker 2: herself and it bumps up into each other. Now people
- 3:02Speaker 2: want to call that luck, but hold up, he got
- 3:04Speaker 2: to park though to day, ain't paying no attention to Yeah,
- 3:07Speaker 2: that opportunity came by, But if you had not been
- 3:09Speaker 2: working hard and the hard work had not ran up
- 3:12Speaker 2: in the opportunity, what would.
- 3:13Speaker 1: You have, No, sir, it's not luck. It's work.
- 3:16Speaker 2: It is work, because there's a scripture that says faith
- 3:20Speaker 2: without works is dead. But my mama was a Sunday
- 3:24Speaker 2: school teacher. She taught me enough. Though Now I know
- 3:27Speaker 2: difference between right and wrong, just like you do. You
- 3:30Speaker 2: ain't got to you know, it kills me when people
- 3:31Speaker 2: write a strawberry letter?
- 3:33Speaker 1: Am I wrong for this?
- 3:34Speaker 2: You know?
- 3:34Speaker 1: Well look at this, read your letter? Are you wrong
- 3:37Speaker 1: for this? You know you're wrong? What you don't need else.
- 3:39Speaker 2: To be telling, you know, But I'm gonna do this anyway.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Well else, he go ahead, though, do what you want
- 3:44Speaker 2: to do. But you know what, y'all, here's the best
- 3:47Speaker 2: advice I can give you. This is what I really
- 3:50Speaker 2: came to talk about this morning, but I got sidetracked
- 3:52Speaker 2: because I listened. Get out of your own way. So
- 3:57Speaker 2: many of us are blocking our home. Blessings were just
- 4:01Speaker 2: in our own way. We are in our own way,
- 4:05Speaker 2: and one of the most dangerous ways you can get
- 4:07Speaker 2: in your way is to do it your way, to
- 4:11Speaker 2: get it figured your way, and to lock in on
- 4:14Speaker 2: your way. And this the way it's got to go.
- 4:17Speaker 2: Do you know how many people are blocking their blessing?
- 4:20Speaker 2: Do you know how long I block mind with that
- 4:23Speaker 2: mindset right there.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Look, because this the way you do it, you think
- 4:27Speaker 1: that makes it the right way.
- 4:29Speaker 2: You think jazz, because you done thought on it long
- 4:31Speaker 2: and hard, and that's what you really want.
- 4:33Speaker 1: Do you really think that your way is the right
- 4:35Speaker 1: way or could that be a better way? See?
- 4:38Speaker 2: Until I started listening to God and started paying attention
- 4:41Speaker 2: to his way, man, I was spinning my wheels. Man,
- 4:45Speaker 2: I was out here so determined this how I was
- 4:47Speaker 2: gonna do it. But you know, I had to learn
- 4:49Speaker 2: how to get out of my own way because just
- 4:52Speaker 2: because I could do it my way didn't mean it
- 4:55Speaker 2: was the right way. I had to get out of
- 4:58Speaker 2: my own way. Just get out your way, man, Now
- 5:03Speaker 2: what does that mean? That means, see, set your goals,
- 5:10Speaker 2: That means have your dreams. I'm saying set your goals, man,
- 5:16Speaker 2: I ain't saying don't set goals. Listen to me. Set
- 5:18Speaker 2: your goals. What is it you want to happen? What
- 5:20Speaker 2: is it you'd like to have? What is it you
- 5:23Speaker 2: like to be? What do you aspire to? Set your
- 5:26Speaker 2: goals and set your dreams. Now, take your goals and
- 5:30Speaker 2: your dreams to God and ask God to show you how. Man,
- 5:36Speaker 2: you can save yourself a lot of pain. Listen to
- 5:40Speaker 2: somebody who did it his way for so long. And
- 5:44Speaker 2: when I finally got out of my way, out of
- 5:46Speaker 2: my own way. When you've heard old people say let
- 5:50Speaker 2: go and let God, you've heard them say that didn't
- 5:53Speaker 2: I didn't get it, but I got it. Now, let
- 5:56Speaker 2: go and let God. And it's amazing little saying. Now
- 6:00Speaker 2: you know you may not get it now. It took
- 6:02Speaker 2: me a bunch of years to get it too. But
- 6:04Speaker 2: when I took my goals and my dreams and my
- 6:07Speaker 2: vision to God and I said, God, this is what
- 6:10Speaker 2: I hope for, this is what I aspired to, This
- 6:13Speaker 2: is what I want to be, this is why I
- 6:14Speaker 2: would love to get to. Then I said, help me,
- 6:19Speaker 2: show me how point me in the right direction. Let
- 6:22Speaker 2: me follow your footsteps, guide me and give me a
- 6:26Speaker 2: spirit of discernment. Show me who wrong? Because I meet
- 6:29Speaker 2: people every day. Ain't up to no good with me?
- 6:31Speaker 2: Every single day. Oh man, man, I can't believe I
- 6:36Speaker 2: run up in to you. Man, the Lord told me
- 6:38Speaker 2: something was gonna happen to me today. Well, see, I
- 6:40Speaker 2: talked to him every day. He did not mention you
- 6:43Speaker 2: to me. He ain't said nothing to me. He didn't
- 6:46Speaker 2: tell me what was gonna happen in mine. Now I
- 6:47Speaker 2: don't mean it can't happen because I'm open to it.
- 6:51Speaker 2: So really, man, I'm proud, and please know I'm listening
- 6:55Speaker 2: as well as I've ever listened before. But get yourself together, though,
- 7:00Speaker 2: see know your goals and your dreams, and then let
- 7:02Speaker 2: God show you how to do it.
- 7:03Speaker 1: He'll do it. You know.
- 7:05Speaker 2: It's so important, everybody, that you get focused, that you
- 7:09Speaker 2: aim for something, that you dream of, something, that you
- 7:12Speaker 2: aspire to something. But it's the most the best thing
- 7:15Speaker 2: you can do. After you do all that, Man, get
- 7:18Speaker 2: God involved in it. Man, talk to him. I mean,
- 7:21Speaker 2: why would you not what you got to lose. You
- 7:23Speaker 2: ain't got to go down there and make no big
- 7:25Speaker 2: scene and run laps around the church and run up
- 7:28Speaker 2: there and throw yourself on the altar and scream and
- 7:30Speaker 2: flip over and throw money in the ad. You ain't
- 7:32Speaker 2: got to do that. This you and God, Man, This
- 7:35Speaker 2: you and God. You know you got to serve and
- 7:37Speaker 2: praise Him the way you do it. You gotta let
- 7:40Speaker 2: nobody else tell you how it's done. It's a personal relationship.
- 7:43Speaker 2: People kill me if you don't do it this way.
- 7:45Speaker 2: If you don't come here to this church, and you
- 7:46Speaker 2: don't run around in this circle, and you don't get
- 7:48Speaker 2: flipped in an you don't, Hey man, you better go
- 7:51Speaker 2: have a relationship with God. See what that's about, you understand,
- 7:54Speaker 2: or nobody throw you off with all that? All right,
- 7:56Speaker 2: all right, y'all talk to him. He loved to hear
- 7:57Speaker 2: from you today.
