  Speaker 1: Come on i sure will a good morning everybody you're
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: listening to the voice come on dig me now one
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and only steve harvey i got a radio show real
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: grateful for that you know it's funny i remember when
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: i first started out in radio a lot of my
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: peers laughed at me some of it was being mean
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: spirited some of it was just you know mocking me
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: i'm used to stuff like that but um I had
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: as a special guest on my show, Joel Osteen. And
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: you know something, man, he he says something that was
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I can't remember the scripture. I don't know exactly how
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: it were like we were having a long conversation. But
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the gist of it was don't be upset with where
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: you are now and don't be upset with the small
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: things in your life. Be grateful for the small things
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: and the small position that you have right now because
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you don't know where it's going. You don't know what
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: that's going to be one day. You don't know what
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: that's going to lead to. And that was very warming
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: to hear him say that. But it also reminded me
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: of when I started in radio, how small it was.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: It reminded me of when I started in stand up
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: making twenty five dollars a show. It reminds me of
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: not having a home at a period in my life
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and what God has allowed me to live in now.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: So don't be distraught over your position now and don't be.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: ungrateful or unappreciative for the things you have now, because
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you don't know what that's going to grow into. And
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: that's really the gist of that I got from what
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: he was saying. I just wanted to share that with you,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: that where you are now is so temporary because now,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: like I've said before, now is a fleeting moment. Right
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: after you finish saying now, that moment that you claimed
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: as now, that's gone. So the where you are now,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: is a very fleeting process. Now, you can change where
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: you are now, and you can change how you feel
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: about where you're at now, and you can change about
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: where you're going by simply changing your mind. It is
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: no different. I'm telling you, folks, the thing that I've
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: learned about successful people is not so much what they do.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: It's not what they have. The biggest thing I've learned
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: about successful people is how they think. That's the thing
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: that's different. It's how they think. And I'm telling you
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: that you can change the way you think on any
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: subject and start becoming successful towards that starting now. You
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: have to understand that, man. The biggest difference I've noticed
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: between successful people and non-successful people is how they think.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I was reading What Is God? said that he was
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: taught all wrong about money. He said that his father
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: was very negative about money. All throughout his life, he
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: heard his father say, you know, people who got money
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: have walked on somebody to get it or cheated somebody
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: to get it. People who have money, money is the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: root of all evil. Money is this. And people who
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: got money, you know, don't deserve it. They've done something
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: wrong to get it. So he said he grew up
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the whole time. thinking that having money was something was
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: wrong with that. He discovered that it wasn't. Look, you
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: can choose to be successful any way you want to.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I've chosen several ways to be successful. I want to
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: be a very, very successful father. I think that's one
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: of the things that's paramount in my life, that I
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: really am working hard right now to become a successful father.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Not a successful father in terms of money, but a
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: successful father in terms of offering the amount of love
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and guidance and leadership and the example that my children
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: need to look at. That's what I'm really, really working
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: hard at now. I want to be successful as a father,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: but also I want to be successful as a husband.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: You know, I want Marjorie to always know that she
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: can count on me, to not have to wonder about
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: me or look for me. You know, I want her
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: to feel secure in the fact that I really have
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: gotten it right. that I really am focused on being
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a good husband to her because it means so much
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: to me. You know, so I'm working hard on a
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: lot of levels. I'm working hard. I'm trying very strong
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to be a successful motivator of people. I want to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: be a sharer of information to people that will uplift
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: others and give others the same things that I've learned
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: through the trials and tribulations of my life. But at
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the same time, share that information and use the power
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: of this microphone To uplift people, you know, not to destroy.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: My show is not about, oh, guess what so-and-so said,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: guess what so-and-so did. I don't like mean-spirited things about people,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you know. I joke with people who call in, that's
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: another thing. But I don't like destroying people with the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: power of the microphone. So I'm working very hard on
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: being successful in a lot of areas of my life. Now, also,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I do care about being financially successful, too. because my father,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: one of the gifts he gave me was very simple gift.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: He told me a long time ago, he says, son,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the best thing you can do for poor people is
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: not be one of them. And that stuck with me.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: And this was a hardworking man who was a coal
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: miner who worked construction his entire life. My father didn't
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: have an easy life, man. My father didn't sit behind
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: a microphone. My father didn't come to work and people
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: cheered for him. My father wasn't famous. My father, was
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: just a go get it, dude. He instilled that in me,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and I've taken that and applied it to my craft,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: and I thank God for him for that. But I
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: do try to be financially successful so that I can
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: do some things with it to help some other people. Now,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: am I opposed to having nice things? No. Do I
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: apologize for having nice things? No. And why should I?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I work. I work. I'm not on the radio asking
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: to give me money so I can go buy a
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: car I'm not I'm working. So I don't feel how
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you want to feel. And other people do feel that
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: way about it. But if success in terms of finance
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: is what you're lacking, you can go about the business
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: of doing that. I'm writing a book and that whole
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: book is about teaching people how to become successful. And, man,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I'm breaking it down in a way where everybody can
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: get it, man, because I want the college student to
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: get it. You know, I want the working mom to
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: get it, the single mom to get it. The hardworking
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: father that's been trying to hold his family together can
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: get it. The father that ain't ever got it together
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: and feel that because of that reason, he can't be
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the father he needs to be. I'm writing something, man,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: to put it into words, to let you know that
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: God is a forgiving God and that God is a
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: merciful God and that God can get you out of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: any situation you find yourself in. You just can't beat
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: yourself up every time you make a mistake. I make
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: mistakes all the time, man. I just got to remind
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: myself to get up. I ask God for forgiveness. I
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: call on his mercy and his grace and I get
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: up and I go again. But it's coming, man. And
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: if finance success is what you want, you got to
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: change your mind. You got to start thinking about how
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to produce it. The first thing you do is you
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: got to ask. You got to ask to have a
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: life and have a life more abundantly. That's a scripture.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: That he comes to you to give you life and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: to give you life more abundantly. That's the scripture. That
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: ain't a joke. That ain't a theory. That's a fact.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: And the fact that if you don't have a life
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: of abundance, you can get that by asking. Then it
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: starts by believing. And the how to don't even worry
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: about that. He takes care of that himself. He'll send
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the stuff your way. But you got to be willing
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to put some effort in this thing now. And you
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: can do it. Okay. I know I was a little
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: around the place today, but that's what it was. So,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: you know, let's go get it. You're listening to the
• 8:00
