- 0:00Speaker 1: Come on. Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody,
- 0:06Speaker 1: y'all listen to the voice. Come on, dig me now,
- 0:08Speaker 1: one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Man o man o man.
- 0:15Speaker 1: Grateful for it comes through a huge amount of responsibility.
- 0:19Speaker 1: I didn't really know I was gonna have to be
- 0:21Speaker 1: this responsible, you know. Can I share something with y'all?
- 0:25Speaker 1: I started out to Finally I had gotten on track
- 0:29Speaker 1: and was able to see a way to even pursue
- 0:33Speaker 1: my dream. It has been a long, a long trip
- 0:37Speaker 1: that I've been on, and I've gone through so many
- 0:39Speaker 1: phases of it. It is rewarding along the way to
- 0:45Speaker 1: accomplish your dreams. What I'm saying is this, let me,
- 0:48Speaker 1: let me put it together, because I got so much
- 0:50Speaker 1: running through my head right now. You know, it's it's
- 0:53Speaker 1: one thing to accomplish your dreams, but there's joy in
- 0:57Speaker 1: the process of achieving it. See, some people are so
- 1:03Speaker 1: caught up in the goal, the final goal, that they
- 1:08Speaker 1: find no joy, no enjoyment in the process.
- 1:14Speaker 2: If you have.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Found what it is you want to do and you
- 1:20Speaker 1: strike out on that journey, please understand you are far
- 1:24Speaker 1: more blessed than the average person to know what it
- 1:28Speaker 1: is you really want to do, to find your work
- 1:33Speaker 1: in life, your purpose, to find out what direction you
- 1:38Speaker 1: want to go in is such a blessing. The average person,
- 1:41Speaker 1: if you sit down and talk to them, oftentimes don't
- 1:46Speaker 1: have their life on track. And it'd be some people
- 1:48Speaker 1: that you looking at you think, God it going on
- 1:50Speaker 1: because of their appearance, their swagger.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Oh they walk like it, they talk like it, they
- 1:56Speaker 2: look like it.
- 1:57Speaker 1: But if you sit down and talk to the average person,
- 2:00Speaker 1: the average person man does not know what their purpose is,
- 2:05Speaker 1: has not discovered what they want to do, and have
- 2:09Speaker 1: no idea how to get there. If you are on
- 2:12Speaker 1: the other side of that, if you understand your purpose,
- 2:16Speaker 1: if you have an idea of what you want to be,
- 2:19Speaker 1: and you are on your way there, you are truly blessed.
- 2:23Speaker 1: And in that blessing you must recognize it as a blessing.
- 2:29Speaker 1: You must recognize the fact that you are on the
- 2:33Speaker 1: right side and that there should be a sense of
- 2:35Speaker 1: accomplishment and a feeling of pride in you that you
- 2:40Speaker 1: are on track to accomplish your goal. See what used
- 2:44Speaker 1: to happen was sometimes I used to keep my nose
- 2:47Speaker 1: so on the grindstone that I wouldn't even look up
- 2:51Speaker 1: and realize. Man, hey man, I know you're trying to
- 2:55Speaker 1: get here, but Steve, hold on, Man, can't you see
- 2:58Speaker 1: what you've done so far?
- 3:00Speaker 2: Can't you find just some joy in the process.
- 3:03Speaker 1: See, a lot of us lose the joy of a
- 3:06Speaker 1: blessings God has given us because we looking at the
- 3:08Speaker 1: end talking about I ain't there yet, you on your way.
- 3:12Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you an example. I had a friend
- 3:15Speaker 1: who told me that they wanted to be a millionaire.
- 3:19Speaker 1: And they asked me some questions and I told them,
- 3:22Speaker 1: so they started the process. And I am telling you,
- 3:26Speaker 1: this dude works extremely hard. So about a year later
- 3:33Speaker 1: we were talking. He had found this business, he had
- 3:40Speaker 1: set his goal, and he was working towards it. Then
- 3:43Speaker 1: about two years later I ran up into him again.
- 3:46Speaker 1: We were talking about it and everything. He said, Man,
- 3:49Speaker 1: really really appreciate the advice. He said, Man, but this
- 3:53Speaker 1: is all jacked up, man, because I still ain't made
- 3:56Speaker 1: that million I was talking about. I said, well, hey, man,
- 3:59Speaker 1: just keep at it is coming. He said, Man, keep
- 4:02Speaker 1: at it.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Man.
- 4:03Speaker 1: You know how long I've been doing this been two
- 4:05Speaker 1: years now. And I didn't say that to him, but
- 4:08Speaker 1: I said to myself. Yeah, two years, he said, Man,
- 4:11Speaker 1: I've been grinding so long. Man, its just it ain't
- 4:13Speaker 1: happening for me. I said, wait a minute, man, holld on,
- 4:17Speaker 1: hold on. I said, about how much you making right now?
- 4:20Speaker 2: A year?
- 4:21Speaker 1: Man?
- 4:22Speaker 2: About two hundred and fifty thousand. I quit breathing. I said, well,
- 4:28Speaker 2: my man, two years ago you didn't have a clue.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Two years later, you making a quarter of a million dollars.
- 4:38Speaker 1: I said, man, do you understand how blessed you are?
- 4:42Speaker 1: I said, ma'am your family was about to get put
- 4:45Speaker 1: out two years ago you done bought a house. Yeah, man,
- 4:49Speaker 1: but this ain't the house I really won't. Oh, oh, partner,
- 4:52Speaker 1: whoa I got that?
- 4:54Speaker 2: I got that? The house you really want? Mike call
- 4:57Speaker 2: fied eight million? I don't know.
- 4:59Speaker 1: But y'all got a house, you making a payment, you
- 5:03Speaker 1: drive it. You ain't out no more? I said, old man,
- 5:05Speaker 1: you got to stop. I said, you got to stop.
- 5:07Speaker 1: I said, man, because right now, man, you you coming across.
- 5:10Speaker 1: That's real ungrateful to me. And so he said, man,
- 5:13Speaker 1: why are you tripping like that?
- 5:14Speaker 2: Man? Man, you act like don't nobody want to have
- 5:17Speaker 2: nothing but you?
- 5:17Speaker 1: I said, whoa man? Where are you going with this conversation?
- 5:20Speaker 1: I said, Oh, I didn't come to you. I just
- 5:22Speaker 1: came to you and asked you how you doing. And
- 5:24Speaker 1: I'm trying to point out to you that the journey
- 5:27Speaker 1: that you started on, that you are on your way,
- 5:30Speaker 1: and you are in the process of accomplishing your goals.
- 5:32Speaker 1: And can you not feel some joy and some pleasure
- 5:36Speaker 1: in your accomplishment. Quit tripping on the fact that you
- 5:39Speaker 1: ain't made a million yet. You on your way. You
- 5:41Speaker 1: done went from he thought, this dude was making fifteen
- 5:44Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year. You making quarter of a million
- 5:46Speaker 1: dollars in two years. Man, Come on, man, can't you see?
- 5:50Speaker 1: Can't you see?
- 5:51Speaker 2: So? He said? Eventually, ah, man, I kind of see
- 5:54Speaker 2: what you saying.
- 5:55Speaker 1: But that ain't about nothing to me because I ran
- 5:58Speaker 1: up into him a year and a half later. How
- 6:01Speaker 1: you doing, man, man, I sure wish I'd appreciated my
- 6:06Speaker 1: life when I had it.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Like that, I said, what you mean, had it like that? Man?
- 6:10Speaker 2: Just fell on some hard times. Man, right back where
- 6:13Speaker 2: I was.
- 6:15Speaker 1: And then we talked. I said, hey, man, don't worry
- 6:17Speaker 1: about it. I said, Once you know how to accomplish something,
- 6:19Speaker 1: I said, you just reapply the same principles and start
- 6:21Speaker 1: on over again. Man, you know how hard it is
- 6:24Speaker 1: or be to start over? Okay, my man, hold up, pardoner,
- 6:27Speaker 1: you can do yourself like this again. First you wasn't
- 6:30Speaker 1: grateful for what you had. Now you're looking at the
- 6:33Speaker 1: fact that you might have to start over, and you
- 6:34Speaker 1: know how hard it is to start over. Maybe God said, Okay,
- 6:40Speaker 1: you ain't happy with this. Okay, didn't handle it your way.
- 6:43Speaker 1: You obviously ain't happy with the way I'm bringing it
- 6:46Speaker 1: into your life. You want to handle it your way.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Go ahead and handle it because he will let you
- 6:50Speaker 1: have it your way. Can I tell you that he
- 6:52Speaker 1: will let you do it exactly the way you want
- 6:54Speaker 1: to it, because He gives us all the power of choice.
- 6:57Speaker 1: So then maybe he said, Okay, you don't shade the
- 7:00Speaker 1: way I'm doing it. You don't like the favor I'm
- 7:02Speaker 1: showing you. You think it's taken too long. I'm gonna
- 7:04Speaker 1: let you do it your way. I'm not gonna turn
- 7:06Speaker 1: my back on you. I'm just gonna let you do
- 7:08Speaker 1: it your way.
- 7:09Speaker 2: Just just say.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Maybe he said that, and now he right back where
- 7:13Speaker 1: it was. So what I tried to get the young
- 7:15Speaker 1: cat to understand was man, appreciate your life for what
- 7:19Speaker 1: it is, because, like like Jenny's got that song that
- 7:23Speaker 1: he got out off this album. Still, I still believe
- 7:26Speaker 1: it could have been worse. And now that it is worse,
- 7:29Speaker 1: what's on your mind now, folks? If you are on
- 7:33Speaker 1: that side of life where you have figured out what
- 7:36Speaker 1: you want to do, you know how you're gonna get that,
- 7:38Speaker 1: and you know your purpose, You're accomplishing what the majority
- 7:41Speaker 1: of people never ever do. So be grateful for your process.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Don't tumble yourself, don't throw yourself off the cliff. It's
- 7:48Speaker 1: gonna be all right. Success takes a measure of time.
- 7:52Speaker 1: It is not easy. If success were easy, everybody would
- 7:56Speaker 1: be successful.
- 7:58Speaker 2: You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
