  Speaker 1: Come on you.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Uh huh, I sure will come on. And everybody you
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: are listening to the voice, oh, come on, dig me now,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: one and only Steve Harvey. Man got a radio show,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: borl borl boy. I can't even tell you, man. I've
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: been doing some thinking and and one of the things
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: that I wanted to mention today to you as one
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: of the principles of success, being grateful at all times
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: is difficult to do. Being grateful at all times is
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: very difficult to do. I find that to be true
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: with myself. Now there are others that might be able
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: to do it, but just from talking and listening and
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: living and learning, being grateful at all times is difficult
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: to do.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: But it's necessary because it's such an act of faith
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: in knowing that no matter what's going on, it's going
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to be alright. And it's hard to see that when
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: things are not going in your favor, when things have
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: turned so dramatically the other way, and it seems as
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: though you're the only one in the situation where you're
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: involved with other people, or someone got an accusation against
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you falsely, or somebody trying to do something to you unjustifiably,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: whatever the case, may be when it's happening to you,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: it does appear to you that, oh, my goodness, man,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: this is horribly one sided. So it is difficult. It's
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: hard to do to be grateful at all times, but
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: it's so necessary. And I just want to point out
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: a couple of things to you. First of all, the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: difficulty in being grateful in hard times is that number one,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the present circumstances. Oftentimes it's just so pressing and so
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: overwhelming that a lot of your energy is devoted to
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: trying to come up with the solution for that, or
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: trying to muster the strength to whether the storm, or
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: trying to just brace yourself to try to get through it,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and in doing that, you don't. It's hard to be grateful.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: It's hard to be grateful in pain, and I know
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: it is. But here is the trick for me. This
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: is what I've had to learn how to do, and
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I guess it takes practice to get here. It's not
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: nothing you just start doing right away. You got to
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: practice it in small increments to really get it. What
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I've always had to say to myself, and what I've
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: learned to say to myself is this is happening to
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: me because God is working me through something. This is
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: happening to me because it's some form of tests that
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I have to pass in order to graduate to the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: next grade, and that in order to be allowed to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: move to the next level. This is happening to me
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: because there's something I need to purge my life, of
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: my body, of my spirit, of something's purging in me.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: And when you purge something, it's it's painful. You know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: It's like a person getting off drugs. The withdrawal is agonizing.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I've been told and every documentary I've ever watched it
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: it's an agonizing process to go cold turkey, to withdraw,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to pull away after you've been doing something so long.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: And so I know that this process is tough when
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you're going through some pain. But when you're purging your system,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: when you're when you're when you're having to pass a test,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: when you're about to make when when you're being made
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: ready for the next level, that moment right in there,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: in realizing that that's what's happening, that's where you find
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the gratitude. That's where I found the gratitude. I hope
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I'm explaining this correctly. I'm gonna keep trying until I
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: get it. But that's where you find the gratitude. The
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: second part of it is is that God has never
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: left me in all the things I've done, in all
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the mistakes I've made, all the lies I've told, all
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the situations I've gotten myself into from being greedy and
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: wanting too much for me at the expense sometimes of
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: other people, not doing it deliberately or in a vindictive way,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: because I've never had that. I'm not a vindictive or
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: mean person, but sometimes in my life, in wanting to
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: do what I wanted to do, I didn't totally weigh
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: out the cause and effect of the other person. I mean,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: can I just be real with you with that? I mean,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: how many times we'dn all done that? Look, it doesn't
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: It don't make you a bad person. You know, good
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: people do bad things all the time. I just happened
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: to have come to the realization that unknowingly and and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: not and not with malice intent towards a person, I've
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: hurt people looking at something I wanted to do without
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: really looking at what the cause and effect would be
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: on the other person. So in doing some of these things,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I've created situations for myself. But God, through his grace
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and mercy, has allowed me to even get beyond that.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: So what I'm saying that God has never left me
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: in spite of myself. He's always gotten me through. So
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that's the other part of it too. See that no
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: matter what you're going through, you've got to understand that
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: God has always gotten you through it now has any
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Now that may not be the way you want it
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: or the way you liked, But guess what, you can't
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: do wrong and not pay for that. Now that that's
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: not how this works. That's never going to be the case.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: But the great thing about God is he fires warning
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: shots at us all the time. He gives us an
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: opportunity to stop. You know, He don't fully punish us
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: right away every time we do something wrong. Now does it?
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: You know eventually you're going to get caught doing whatever
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: it is you're doing. You do understand that, don't you.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: But the first time, that close call, that was a
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: warning shot for you to stop. Look, I know you're
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: not perfect. I know we all sinners down here, so
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I know you're gonna make mistakes. One time, I know
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: you was looking at her when you weren't supposed to.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I know you said something to him when you wasn't
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: supposed to. I know you got with her when you
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: know you wasn't supposed to. And I know you got
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: with him when you know you weren't supposed to. So
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm a fire
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: warning shot. And maybe you'll slow your roll this time.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: But we keep on though. See see, see that's what happens.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: See we just keep on and then the next thing,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: you know, we get caught. Now, Oh Lord, have mercy.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I won't out of this. Yeah, well see you done
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: dug this hole pretty deep and he gonna get you out.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: But it's some things that's got to go down now
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: because you didn't pay attention to the warning shot. See,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: had you stopped the first time, you felt bad about
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: it and said you wasn't gonna do it no more,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the situation wouldn't be as critical. But because we don't stop,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and we go again. But God always forgives, He always
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: allows us to get back up again. He always gives
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: us mercy, He always gives us his grace, He always
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: does that. It is The Steve Harvey Morning Show
