  Speaker 1: Come on, I sure will come on. And everybody you
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: are listening to the voice, oh, come on, dig me now,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: one and only Steve Harvey Man got a radio show,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: borl borl boy. I can't even tell you, man. I've
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: been doing some thinking and and one of the things
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: that I wanted to mention today to you as one
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: of the principles of success, being grateful at all times
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: is difficult to do. Being grateful at all times is
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: very difficult to do. I find that to be true
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: with myself. Now there are others that might be able
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: to do it, but just from talking and listening and
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: living and learning, being grateful at all times is difficult
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: to do. But it's necessary because it's such an act
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: of faith in knowing that no matter what's going on,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: it's going to be alright. And it's hard to see
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: that when things are not going in your favor, when
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: things have turned so dramatically the other way, and it
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: seems as though you're the only one in the situation
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: where you're involved with other people, or someone got an
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: accusation against you falsely, or somebody trying to do something
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to you unjustifiably, whatever the case may be. When it's
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: happening to you. It does appear to you that, oh,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: my goodness, man, this is horribly one sided. So it
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: is difficult. It is hard to do to be grateful
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: at all times, but it's so necessary. And I just
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: want to point out a couple of things to you.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: First of all, the difficulty in being grateful in hard
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: times is that number one, the present circumstances. Oftentimes it
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: is just so pressing and so overwhelming that a lot
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: of your energy is devoted to trying to come up
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: with the solution for that, or trying to muster the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: strength to whether the storm, or trying to just brace
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: yourself to try to get through it, and in doing that,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: you don't. It's hard to be grateful. It's hard to
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: be grateful in pain, and I know it is. But
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: here is the trick for me. This is what I've
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: had to learn how to do, and I guess it
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: takes practice to get here. It's not nothing you just
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: start doing right away. You got to practice it in
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: small increments to really get it. What I've always had
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: to say to myself and what I've learned to say
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: to myself is this is happening to me because God
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: is working me through something. This is happening to me
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: because it's some form of tests that I have to
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: pass in order to graduate to the next grade, and
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: that in order to be allowed to move to the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: next level. This is happening to me because there's something
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I need to purge my life, of my body, of
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: my spirit, of something's purging in me. And when you
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: purge something, it's it's painful. You know, it's like a
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: person getting off drugs. The withdrawal is agonizing. I've been
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: told and every documentary I've ever watched it it's an
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: agonizing process to go cold turkey, to withdraw, to pull
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: away after you've been doing something so long. And so
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I know that this process is tough when you're going
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: through some pain. But when you're purging yoursel system, when
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: 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
• 5:10
  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'd have all done that? Look, it
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: doesn't It don't make you a bad person. You know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: good people do bad things all the time. I just
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: happened to have come to the realization that unknowingly and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and not and not with malice intent towards a person,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I've hurt people looking at something I wanted to do
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: without really looking at what the cause and effect would
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: be on the other person. So in doing some of
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: these things, I've created situations for myself. But God, through
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: his grace and mercy, has allowed me to even get
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: beyond that. So what I'm saying that God has never
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: left me in spite of myself. He's always gotten me through.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: So that's the other part of it too. See that
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: no matter what you're going through, you've got to understand
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: that God has always gotten you through it now has
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: any Now that may not be the way you want
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: it or the way you liked, But guess what, you
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: can't do wrong and not pay for that. Now that
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: that's not how this works. That's never going to be
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the case. But the great thing about God is he
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: fires warning shots at us all the time. He gives
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: us an opportunity to stop. You know, He don't fully
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: punish us right away every time we do something wrong.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Now does it? You know eventually you're going to get
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: caught doing whatever it is you're doing. You do understand that,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: don't you. But the first time, that close call, that
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: was a warning shot for you to stop. Look, I
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: know you're not perfect. I know we all sin us
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: down here, so I know you're gonna make mistakes. One time,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I know you was looking at her when you weren't
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: supposed to. I know you I said something to him
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: when you wasn't supposed to. I know you got with
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: her when you know you wasn't supposed to. And I
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: know you got with him when you know you weren't
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: supposed to. So I tell you what I'm gonna do.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I'm a fire warning shot. And maybe you'll slow your
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: roll this time. But we keep on though. See see,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: see that's what happens. See we just keep on and
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: then the next thing, you know, we get caught. Now,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Oh Lord, have mercy. I want out of this. Yeah,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: well see you done dug this hole pretty deep and
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: he gonna get you out. But it's some things that's
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: got to go down now because you didn't pay attention
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: to the warning shot. See, had you stopped the first time,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: you felt bad about it and said you wasn't gonna
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: do it no more, the situation wouldn't be as critical.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: But because we don't stop, and we go again. But
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: God always forgives, He always allows us to get back
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: up again. He always gives us mercy, He always gives
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: us his grace. He always does that. To the Steve
