Steve Harvey's Closing Remarks - 02.12.25 · Daily Inspiration: The Steve Harvey Morning Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: My close remarks today has something to do with the
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: opening of the show. Junior asked me a question about
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: monitoring your expectations. Was that what it was, monitoring your expectations,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: managing managing your expectations, And it caused me to do
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: some thinking. And I was saying to him this morning,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: we as people, you got to be keenly aware of
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: all of these things slogans that's out there that people
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: confuse with words of wisdom. Every slogan you hear is
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: not a word of wisdom. See, I've learned from every
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: self help book I've ever read. All of them are
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: based on the principles in the Bible, all of them.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: All self help books are based on the Secret the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: theory of the law of attraction, or the magic of
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: thinking Big Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale. Every I
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: could go on. In the Winner's Circle by Dexter Wansol,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I could go on and on and on, But every
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: single one of them have taken all of their thoughts
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: from the principles of the Bible. So when we were
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: talking earlier and Junie was talking about managing your expectations,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: people like I said, you gotta be careful because everything
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you hear is not a wise saying. Some of these
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: are just slogans, and a lot of things are created
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: to limit you and to explain a person's failure. I
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: give you another one. Don't put all your eggs in
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: one basket. They call that words of wisdom. But you
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: gotta look at that slogan and analyze it very carefully.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: So what they're saying is, don't put all of your
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: everything into one basket now, Because now that's true. It
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: depends on what the basket is, though, and it depends
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: on what your basket is constructed of. If your basket
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: is constructed of faith in God, prayer and hard work,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna dump everything I got into that basket because
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: then it would allow me to put my all, in
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: all behind this one effort. So be careful of that,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: because I don't know how to be successful unless you
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: give you all. I just don't know how to be
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: successful at anything until you give it your all. Now,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: when that drives up and it's time to move on,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: put your all into something else. There's another one. Always
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: have a plan b I've never agreed with this one
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: sounds like words of wisdom. Okay, that's in case Plan
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: eight on work. But in order to have a Plan B,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: you must construct the Plan B. But while you're constructing
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: your Plan B, it takes away the time and efforts
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you could be using to construct your Plan A. Everybody
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: that I know that had a Plan B had to
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: use it. It's like a prenup in a marriage. I
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: don't know a single couple that's got a prenup that
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: didn't use it. Because you plan from the outset, this
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: is the end event that something go wrong, So now
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you've prepared for an out. Look. I'm not saying you
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: shouldn't have a prenump. You can do what you want
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to do. I'm just telling you, if you have one,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you're gonna use it, because I don't know a single
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: couple that had a prenup that didn't use it. Think
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: about it, y'all, because you're you're not planning on making
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: it to the tape. Because you have an out, and
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the moment you decide that the price of the out
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: is adequate, you're gonna take it. I ain't gotta put
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: up with this no more. See you gotta here's another one.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Be careful statistics. One in every so and so this happens.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute. You know what I was told a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: long time ago, one in every twenty thousand comedians will
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: make it to the Tonight Show. That was something somebody
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: told me. I don't even know if it's the truth
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: to statistics, but sitting around with a bunch of young
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: comedians back in the eighties and we were all talking
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: about it, and this guy said, you know, one in
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: every twenty thousand comedians making on the Tonight Show, and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: you can't become a star unless you get green lit
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: by Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show. So what I
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: decided was I'll be one of the ones. So every
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: night before I walked on stage, I used to harm
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: this and then I'd be pacing in the background till
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: they said ladies and gentlemen from Cleveland House Steve Hardy,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and then I run on stage. Well, you know what,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I never met Johnny Carson. I never sat on this show.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I've been on the Tonight Show with Jay Lenole, but
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it was after I had already gained enough notoriety to
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: be a guest on his show. I just decided I
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: was gonna be the one. But what statistics do is
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: it justifies a person who's looking for a way not
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to be successful. One and the only one in US
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: so many people. It's one in up millions of chance
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to win the Power Lottery. But if you don't play it,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: that percentage drops to zero. And then when somebody win it,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you're gonna wire they want but they played. Y'all, be
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: very conscious as you move into life about things that
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: people are called wise sayings, because they might just be
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: something somebody said to justify why they are where they are.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Be conscious of that. Talk to God, he'd absolutely love.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: And this.
