- 0:08Speaker 1: Come on, dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey
- 0:12Speaker 1: got a radio show. Man o man o man. Grateful
- 0:15Speaker 1: for it. Come through a huge amount of responsibility. I
- 0:19Speaker 1: didn't really know I was gonna have to be this responsible,
- 0:22Speaker 1: you know. Can I share something with y'all? I started
- 0:26Speaker 1: out to Finally I had gotten on track and was
- 0:30Speaker 1: able to see a way to even pursue my dream.
- 0:35Speaker 1: It has been a long, a long trip that I've
- 0:38Speaker 1: been on, and I've gone through so many phases of it.
- 0:42Speaker 1: It is rewarding along the way to accomplish your dreams.
- 0:47Speaker 1: What I'm saying is this, let me, let me put
- 0:49Speaker 1: it together, because I got so much running through my
- 0:51Speaker 1: head right now. You know, it's it's one thing to
- 0:55Speaker 1: accomplish your dreams, but there's joy in the process of
- 1:00Speaker 1: achieving it. See, some people are so caught up in
- 1:05Speaker 1: the goal, the final goal, that they find no joy,
- 1:11Speaker 1: no enjoyment in the process. If you have found what
- 1:17Speaker 1: it is you want to do and you strike out
- 1:21Speaker 1: on that journey, please understand you are far more blessed
- 1:26Speaker 1: than the average person to know what it is you
- 1:29Speaker 1: really want to do, to find your work in life,
- 1:34Speaker 1: your purpose, to find out what direction you want to
- 1:38Speaker 1: go in is such a blessing. The average person, if
- 1:42Speaker 1: you sit down and talk to them, oftentimes don't have
- 1:46Speaker 1: their life on track. And it'd be some people that
- 1:48Speaker 1: you looking at you think, God it going on because
- 1:51Speaker 1: of their appearance, their swagger. Oh they walk like it,
- 1:55Speaker 1: they talk like it, they look like it. But if
- 1:57Speaker 1: you sit down and talk to the average person, the
- 2:01Speaker 1: average person man does not know what their purpose is,
- 2:06Speaker 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.
- 2:20Speaker 2: On your way there, you are truly blessed.
- 2:24Speaker 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
- 2:36Speaker 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.
- 2:50Speaker 2: That I wouldn't even look up and realize.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Man, hey, man, I know you're trying to get here,
- 2:56Speaker 1: but Steve, hold on, Man, can't you see what you've
- 2:59Speaker 1: done so far? Can't you find just some joy in
- 3:02Speaker 1: the process. See, a lot of us lose the joy
- 3:06Speaker 1: of the blessings God has given us because we looking
- 3:08Speaker 1: at the end talking about I ain't there yet, you
- 3:11Speaker 1: on your way. I'm gonna give you an example. I
- 3:15Speaker 1: had a friend who told me that they wanted to
- 3:18Speaker 1: be a millionaire. And they asked me some questions and
- 3:21Speaker 1: I told them, so they started the process. And I
- 3:25Speaker 1: am telling you, this dude works extremely hard. So about
- 3:32Speaker 1: a year later we were talking. He had found this business,
- 3:38Speaker 1: he had set his goal, and he was working towards it.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Then 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: I really really appreciate the advice. He said, Man, but
- 3:52Speaker 1: this is all jacked up, man, because I still ain't
- 3:56Speaker 1: made that million I was talking about. I said, well, hey, man,
- 3:59Speaker 1: just keep at it's coming. He said, Man, keep 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, it just it ain't
- 4:14Speaker 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
- 4:20Speaker 1: now a year?
- 4:22Speaker 2: Man? About two hundred and fifty thousand.
- 4:26Speaker 1: I quit breathing. I said, whoa, my man. Two years
- 4:31Speaker 1: ago you didn't have a clue. Two years later, you
- 4:36Speaker 1: making a quarter of a million dollars. I said, man,
- 4:40Speaker 1: do you understand how blessed you are? I said, man,
- 4:43Speaker 1: your family was about to get put out two years
- 4:46Speaker 1: ago you done bought a house.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Yeah, man, but this ain't the house. I really won't. Oh, oh, partner,
- 4:53Speaker 2: whoa I got that? I got that? The house? You
- 4:56Speaker 2: really won't make Mike call fied eight million. I don't know.
- 5:00Speaker 1: But man, y'all got a house, you making a payment,
- 5:03Speaker 1: you drive it. You ain't out no more? I said,
- 5:05Speaker 1: old man, you got to stop. I said, you got
- 5:07Speaker 1: to stop. I said, man, because right now, man, you
- 5:09Speaker 1: you coming across. That's real ungrateful to me. And so
- 5:13Speaker 1: he said, man, why are you tripping like that?
- 5:14Speaker 2: Man?
- 5:15Speaker 1: Man, you act like don't nobody want to have nothing
- 5:17Speaker 1: but you? I said, whoa man, where are you going
- 5:19Speaker 1: with this conversation? I said, Oh, I didn't come to you.
- 5:22Speaker 1: I just came to you and asked you how you doing.
- 5:24Speaker 1: And I'm trying to point out to you that the
- 5:27Speaker 1: journey that you started on, that you are on your way,
- 5:30Speaker 1: and you are in the process of accomplishing your goals.
- 5:33Speaker 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.
- 5:41Speaker 2: You on your way. You done went.
- 5:42Speaker 1: From he thought this dude was making fifteen thousand dollars
- 5:45Speaker 1: a year. You making quarter of a million dollars in
- 5:47Speaker 1: two years. Man, Come on, man, can't you see can't
- 5:50Speaker 1: you see?
- 5:52Speaker 2: So? He said? Eventually, Ah, man, I kind of see
- 5:55Speaker 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 have later. How you doing, man, man,
- 6:04Speaker 1: I sure wish I'd appreciated my life when I had
- 6:07Speaker 1: it like that?
- 6:08Speaker 2: I said, what you mean, had it like that? Man?
- 6:10Speaker 1: Just fell on some hard times. Man, right back where
- 6:13Speaker 1: I was, And then we talked. I said, hey, man,
- 6:17Speaker 1: don't worry about it. I said, Once you know how
- 6:18Speaker 1: to accomplish something, I said, you just reapply the same
- 6:21Speaker 1: principles and start on over again. Man, you know how
- 6:24Speaker 1: hard it is to be to start over. Okay, my man,
- 6:26Speaker 1: Hold up, pardoner, you've been do yourself like this again.
- 6:30Speaker 1: First you wasn't grateful for what you had. Now you're
- 6:33Speaker 1: looking at the fact that you might have to start over,
- 6:35Speaker 1: and you know how hard it is to start over.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Maybe God said, Okay, you ain't happy with this. Okay,
- 6:42Speaker 1: didn't handle it your way. You obviously ain't happy with
- 6:45Speaker 1: the way I'm bringing it into your life. You want
- 6:48Speaker 1: to handle it your way, Go ahead and hand it
- 6:49Speaker 1: because he will let you have it your way. Can
- 6:51Speaker 1: I tell you that he will let you do it
- 6:54Speaker 1: exactly the way you want to it, because he gives
- 6:56Speaker 1: us all the power choice. So then maybe he said, Okay,
- 7:00Speaker 1: I don't appreciate the way I'm doing it. You don't
- 7:02Speaker 1: like the favor I'm showing you. You think it's taken
- 7:04Speaker 1: too long. I'm gonna let you do it your way.
- 7:06Speaker 1: I'm not gonna turn my back on you. I'm just
- 7:08Speaker 1: gonna let you do it your way. 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,
- 7:30Speaker 1: what's on your mind now, folks? If you are on
- 7:34Speaker 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
- 7:42Speaker 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
- 7:49Speaker 1: gonna be all right. Success takes a measure of time.
- 7:53Speaker 1: It is not easy. If success were easy, everybody would
- 7:57Speaker 1: be successful.
