• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I sure will. Good morning, everybody.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: You are listening to The Voice. Come on, dig me now.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: One and only, Steve Harvey. Got a radio show.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Man, oh, man, oh, man. How good is God to me?
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: And part of the mission and the reason that I
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: have a radio show is to become a sharer, more
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: and more of a sharer. You know, I used to
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: hear my mother say it to me all the time,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: but God blesses you to become a blessing. And I
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: think the more you understand that about yourself, I think
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: the more blessings will flow your way. I think that
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: once you understand the principle that, you know, but it's
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: kind of tied together with some other scriptures, and I'm
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: not too knowledgeable about them, of course, as usual. but
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I do know what I've heard, you know, and you know,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: if you look at something simple as do unto others,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: as you would have them do unto you, uh, wouldn't
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: you want somebody to help you if you needed help?
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I just know how to get it down there to
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: where I've been able to understand it. If, if, if
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: there's a scripture similar that says do unto others as
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: you would have them do unto you, or that's, you know,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: in a prayer, Would not you want somebody to help
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: you if you needed help? You've heard you reap what
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: you sow. Do you understand that if you sow discord,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: that discord is going to come your way? That if
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: you hate, hate going to come your way. If you
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: blog nothing but negative comments about people, your life will
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: be filled with negativity. If all you do is talk
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: about people, then guess what? Somebody got to turn that
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: gun around and talk about you. See, it just stands
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: to reason. So what I've learned in my life and
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: through all the trials and tribulations that I've had is
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: to take those lessons and share them with people in
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: case you ain't heard it from somebody else. See, sometimes,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: and the reason it seems like I'm redundant at times
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: is which I am. is because I'm always trying to
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: find a different way to say the same thing.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Because it's a funny thing, man. You got to hear
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: it a certain way for it to click with you.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: How many times.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Have I heard a saying and then I heard it
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: a different way that it clicked with me?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: You know, I've heard this saying right here.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Remember this now. Everybody's not happy for you. We've all
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: heard that, right? Everybody's not happy for you. Well, that's
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: very simple. I don't need no explanation. That simply means
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: of all the people, you know, or do not know
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: when something happens to you and you celebrating it, everybody
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: not going to join in on the celebration.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: That's all that is. But then you take it one
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: step further.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: My father used to say something to me all the time.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: He said, son, everybody come with you. Can't go with you.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I didn't get that when I was 15. Everybody come
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: with you, can't go with you. He said, you're going
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: to lose some of these friends you got along the way.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: But I don't care where you get in life. Know
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: this right here. Everybody can't go with you.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: If you are constantly trying to improve yourself, you constantly
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: have to take assessment of the people around you. Because
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: if you are going to continue to go and continue
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: to grow, then guess what? You got to have people
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: that's on the go and willing to grow. Or else,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: guess what? You're going to learn a valuable lesson. You know,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the late boxing promoter Butch Lewis. I was talking with
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Butch Lewis one time. And man, what a good brother, man.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: He said every successful man is doing what I call
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: he got rope work to do. He got rope work
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to do. He got to put in work on rope.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: And I'm sitting there listening to Butch Lewis and all
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: the money he had made and all the people's lives
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: he had changed and all of the moves he was making.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: and his incredible skills as a negotiator on behalf of
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: some very, very wealthy people. He was just an amazing
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: man with no education, but he read everything. Butch Lewis
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: read all the papers, all the periodicals. That brother knew everything.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: He said, you got to put in rope. And I
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: was sitting there listening. He said, here's the analogy, little brother.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: He said, you are on rope. There's a thick rope
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: you have on no shirt. You have on some tattered clothes.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: You have on no shoes. Your shorts is cut off
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: just below the knee and they tatted. You got dirt
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: on you and you're sweating. There's this huge, huge raw
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: rope over your shoulder. There's burn marks on all of
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: your shoulder connected to that rope is a wagon. That
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: wagon has all your weight on it, all your responsibilities,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: all the people you're responsible for, all your children, your wife,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: your family members, your employees, your coworkers, your friends. They
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: all on that wagon, man. They just sitting there. He's
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: saying what you got to do is you got to
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: pull that wagon up the hill. Now, only thing with
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: it is can't nobody help you pull your wagon. You
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: pull your wagon alone. He say now what you can
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: do along the way of pulling your wagon is you
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: can find yourself a good wife, a good woman. He
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: said that what that woman does is she get down
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: off the wagon. She find you while you pull it.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: She put water on you while you pull it. She
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: put stuff in your mouth while you pull it. She
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: kick rocks out the way while you pull it, but she,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: but she pulling for you, but she is equally as
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: important as you are on the pool of the rope.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: He said, you hear me clearly now, young soldier. He said,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: now I get this here. He says, people on your wagon.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: that you're responsible for, but you want the people on
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: your wagon to help you get your wagon to the top.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: So what you hope is that they got their foot
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: hanging over the side, pushing. They got one leg over
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: the back, or maybe both legs over the back, pushing.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: They might have their butt on the wagon, but they
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: push you with both legs, their back facing your back.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Maybe some of them facing you, but one of them
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: got a left leg hanging over trying to push. And
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: you hope that all them people on the wagon you
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: pulling is back there at least trying to help the
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: wagon get to the top of the hill. Here goes
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: your problem, though. Everybody ain't pushing. Everybody ain't pulling. Everybody
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: ain't kicking rocks out the way. You got some people
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: on your wagon that's just laying on the wagon. Drinking lemonade,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: looking at you, talking about how long it's taking you
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: to get your wagon up to the top, looking at you,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: talking about why this wagon's so slow. Then when you
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: start picking up speed, they want you to pull harder,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: you to pull faster, you to pull more. Then they
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: want you to throw what you done earned on the
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: way up the hill back down the wagon so they
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: can have more.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: But guess what? They ain't helping you get more.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: But they got a sense of entitlement that since you
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: got more, they should have more.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Everybody come with you, can't go with you.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you got to kick the people off the wagon
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: that ain't pushing and pulling and say, hey, man, I'm sorry.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I thought I could do this with you and I
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: thought you was going with me. But it's clear to
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: me you ain't nothing but dead weight. And it ain't
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: my responsibility to carry dead weight anymore. I have carried
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: you as long as I have to carry you. You
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: are no longer my responsibility. I'm responsible for my family,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: my wife, my children. I'm not responsible for you. You
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: got to get off my wagon because I'm a man
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: on rope. I'm on a mission, baby.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I'm pulling. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
