- 0:00Speaker 1: Come on, Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody
- 0:06Speaker 1: you are listening to the voice.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Come on, dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey
- 0:11Speaker 2: got a radio show, you know. Today I was thinking
- 0:14Speaker 2: of what I would say today and it just dawned
- 0:18Speaker 2: on me this way, and I just want to share
- 0:20Speaker 2: this with everybody listening. You've got to get some help
- 0:23Speaker 2: to make it through life. I cannot imagine where I
- 0:27Speaker 2: would be if it was not for the help of
- 0:31Speaker 2: my God, if it wasn't for his grace and mercy,
- 0:35Speaker 2: if I did not have the ability to lean on him,
- 0:39Speaker 2: and all the times I've had to lean on Him,
- 0:41Speaker 2: which has become a daily basis, I have no idea
- 0:44Speaker 2: where I would be, but clearly I know for a
- 0:47Speaker 2: matter of fact, I would not be here today. You
- 0:50Speaker 2: have got to get some help to get through this
- 0:53Speaker 2: thing called life. I am begging you to look into it. Man,
- 0:57Speaker 2: You've got to form a relationship with God.
- 1:00Speaker 1: God.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Without a relationship with God, this thing called life is
- 1:04Speaker 2: daunting at times.
- 1:05Speaker 1: I don't care who you are.
- 1:06Speaker 2: I know I'm speaking the truth right now, because listen,
- 1:10Speaker 2: no matter who you are, what job title you have,
- 1:14Speaker 2: what aspirations you may have, I don't care what your
- 1:17Speaker 2: educational background is or is not. It does not matter
- 1:22Speaker 2: if you don't get a real relationship going on with God.
- 1:25Speaker 1: I don't see how you can make it.
- 1:27Speaker 2: So many people are faking in fronting out here like
- 1:30Speaker 2: they got it going on, and you don't know, And
- 1:33Speaker 2: you really don't know how many people that you think
- 1:36Speaker 2: in your neighborhood had it going on because you saw
- 1:38Speaker 2: a car pull up in the driveway, or they house
- 1:41Speaker 2: look bigger, or the grass is cutting nicer, and you
- 1:44Speaker 2: only find out that a foreclosure.
- 1:46Speaker 1: Side on they house too. See, you don't know.
- 1:49Speaker 2: The mask that people put on to parade around in
- 1:53Speaker 2: is for appearance sakes. So a lot of people you
- 1:55Speaker 2: looking at that you think got it going on, who
- 1:58Speaker 2: might be the pattern of success that you want to trace.
- 2:01Speaker 2: You got to be real careful with that because it
- 2:04Speaker 2: may not be as it appears to be. But one
- 2:06Speaker 2: thing is for sure, no matter what's going on in
- 2:10Speaker 2: your life, I know that behind whatever mask I'm wearing,
- 2:15Speaker 2: or I realized, no matter what the appearances may be,
- 2:19Speaker 2: that on the other side of me, I'm gonna be
- 2:22Speaker 2: just fine. See, you may be outwardly people hating on you,
- 2:27Speaker 2: talking about you dragging your name through the mud. Look, man,
- 2:31Speaker 2: people can say stuff about you. Most people talking about
- 2:34Speaker 2: you don't even know you. They just participating in it.
- 2:37Speaker 2: You can have that appearance going on, but behind you,
- 2:41Speaker 2: within you, if you have a relationship with God, it
- 2:45Speaker 2: don't matter because you can be all right. I've seen
- 2:48Speaker 2: it get real stormy on the outside for me, but
- 2:51Speaker 2: on the inside I just had to feel and I
- 2:53Speaker 2: was gonna be all right.
- 2:54Speaker 1: See. That's what the relationship gives you. Man.
- 2:57Speaker 2: It gives you the confidence to know that the things
- 3:00Speaker 2: that you're going through are temporary. That is just the
- 3:03Speaker 2: space that you happen to be in. Like I said
- 3:06Speaker 2: the other day, you got to remember something. The road
- 3:09Speaker 2: to success is always under construction. You might as well
- 3:13Speaker 2: get ready for that. If you planing on changing, getting better,
- 3:17Speaker 2: doing something about your health.
- 3:19Speaker 1: If you decide, hey, look I.
- 3:21Speaker 2: Just would like to live a longer, more prosperous life,
- 3:24Speaker 2: or hey I want to make X amount of dollars,
- 3:26Speaker 2: or hey man, I'm gonna stop staying out in these
- 3:28Speaker 2: streets and I'm gonna come home and treat my family
- 3:31Speaker 2: way they are to be treated. I don't care what
- 3:33Speaker 2: decision you make when you strike out on that road
- 3:36Speaker 2: to success. It's under construction, partner. There's barrels out there,
- 3:40Speaker 2: there's wide turns, there's detours.
- 3:43Speaker 1: You know.
- 3:44Speaker 2: It's being out there holding signs saying slow down. Sometimes
- 3:48Speaker 2: they put the stop sign up. You got to wait
- 3:50Speaker 2: and watch people go by you on the other side.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Then before you can take off again. You've all been
- 3:57Speaker 2: on the road with construction on it. It can be
- 3:59Speaker 2: so frustrating. And the whole time you on that road.
- 4:03Speaker 2: I know, when I'm on the road we can under construction.
- 4:05Speaker 2: I'm always thinking of an alternative path. I ain't ever
- 4:10Speaker 2: set in traffic under construction, man, and thought of if
- 4:15Speaker 2: I get off on this exit, where would it take me?
- 4:17Speaker 2: Not knowing, but just man, could I keep moving if
- 4:20Speaker 2: I go that way? That's a dangerous thing sometimes, see,
- 4:24Speaker 2: because oftentimes when we get off the road to success
- 4:27Speaker 2: and we take that other path, we get further and
- 4:30Speaker 2: further off course. Because wasn't no detools signed for that,
- 4:34Speaker 2: Just a decision I made on my own because I
- 4:36Speaker 2: don't like sitting here. Sometimes I don't have the patience
- 4:39Speaker 2: I ought to have, So I've taken some what I
- 4:41Speaker 2: thought might be shortcuts. But I got to tell you something.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Ain't no shortcuts on the road to success. Even the
- 4:47Speaker 2: detour signs wind up taking you a little bit out
- 4:50Speaker 2: your way. And look background. I remember one time I
- 4:52Speaker 2: was coming from Las Vegas and that was some type
- 4:56Speaker 2: of chemical spill in a truck and you could almost
- 5:02Speaker 2: see the smoke.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Up ahead in very faint.
- 5:05Speaker 2: So they detoreed us through the desert and we had
- 5:08Speaker 2: to go all the way around, and I drove, man
- 5:11Speaker 2: like an hour and a half out of the way.
- 5:13Speaker 2: And when they entered us back on the freeway where
- 5:16Speaker 2: we were to go back to La As soon as
- 5:19Speaker 2: I got it that exit to get back on the freeway,
- 5:21Speaker 2: I looked right there and there the accident was. Now
- 5:25Speaker 2: it was an hour and a half hour forty five
- 5:29Speaker 2: all the way around in that desert to get back
- 5:32Speaker 2: to almost the same place. But it was the best
- 5:35Speaker 2: way to go, because see, that was the route to take.
- 5:39Speaker 2: And that's what you got to understand about trying to
- 5:42Speaker 2: make the right decision to be successful, that the road
- 5:44Speaker 2: to success is always under construction. You gonna have to
- 5:48Speaker 2: go round a little bit, so quick stop being impatient
- 5:51Speaker 2: with I don't want to go around. I'm gonna go
- 5:53Speaker 2: this way, You go that way if you want to
- 5:55Speaker 2: just follow the detour science. See, because somebody that came
- 5:58Speaker 2: up this road before you have, somebody done travel the
- 6:02Speaker 2: road already and they took the way around, and yeah,
- 6:05Speaker 2: it seemed like it's a longer way, and you want
- 6:07Speaker 2: to make that other decision. But stay on the road
- 6:10Speaker 2: to success. It's under construction, man, That's just the way
- 6:14Speaker 2: it goes. Don't lose your patience and try to create
- 6:17Speaker 2: a shortcut for yourself. I'm gonna go away. Ain't nobody
- 6:19Speaker 2: ever gone way? Hold up, Pardoner, you really think you're
- 6:22Speaker 2: gonna do that?
- 6:23Speaker 1: Listen.
- 6:23Speaker 2: There's oftentimes a lot of rewards when you go the
- 6:27Speaker 2: least travel path. But the road to success is the
- 6:30Speaker 2: least travel path. That's what you keep getting mixed up.
- 6:34Speaker 2: You keep thinking if you go another way. No, no,
- 6:36Speaker 2: stay on the road to success. That is the least
- 6:39Speaker 2: travel path. It's under construction. You can go out there
- 6:43Speaker 2: with your machete if you want to talking about cutting
- 6:45Speaker 2: new trails. You think the road to success is under construction,
- 6:50Speaker 2: take the other route and get that machete out and
- 6:53Speaker 2: see how long you be out there trying to cut
- 6:55Speaker 2: a path. Sometimes, man, you just got to stay patient.
- 7:00Speaker 2: To success has been traveled before by millions of people
- 7:03Speaker 2: in front of you, everybody that has some setbacks in life.
- 7:07Speaker 2: But don't get off the road to success just because
- 7:09Speaker 2: you having some setbacks, just because you see some orange
- 7:12Speaker 2: barrels up, just because there's some men out there with
- 7:14Speaker 2: vest on what they got to do with you? Everybody,
- 7:18Speaker 2: everybody that's trying to be successful, is on that road.
- 7:21Speaker 2: Your relationship with God helps you guide yourself around the barrels.
- 7:27Speaker 2: It helps you have the patience to go around that way.
- 7:31Speaker 2: He gonna get you back where you gotta be, but
- 7:34Speaker 2: you got to go out there so you can learn
- 7:36Speaker 2: some things. See, you need God to make it in life,
- 7:40Speaker 2: because the road to success is always under construction. He
- 7:44Speaker 2: calms you down when the barrels is up. He lets
- 7:48Speaker 2: you know it's gonna be all right. He rewards you
- 7:50Speaker 2: with the patience to finish because He gonna get you
- 7:53Speaker 2: right back where you need to be and you can
- 7:55Speaker 2: get on which way.
- 7:56Speaker 1: You is going. Okay, All right, y'all, we're gonna try
- 7:58Speaker 1: that today. Listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show
