Steve Harvey's Closing Remarks - 8.28.26 · Daily Inspiration: The Steve Harvey Morning Show

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Last break of the day. We've had a great morning today. Yes,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: we had fun today. Steve, it's time for you now
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: to take us home with your closing remarks. What you
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: got for us today, Steve? Once again, it's about sharing
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the things that I've learned along the way. And one
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: of the things I think is very important that we
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: should talk about, we should talk about blame and excuses.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Blame and excuses. I'm telling you, man, they serve no purpose. Excuses,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: first of all, are only good for the person that's
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: providing them. It does nothing for the person who receives it.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Have you ever had somebody tell you a reason why
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: they didn't do something and you were counting on them
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: to get it done? And they gave you an excuse
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: as to why. OK, here's somebody supposed to pick you
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: up in the carpool for work. Now, you done gave
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: your car to your spouse so they could go do
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: what they want to do. Now, you sitting there waiting
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: on the carpool to come pick you up. They don't
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: pick you up. Now, they late. Man, I had a
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: hard time getting up this morning, man. I'm glad. But
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I'm here, though. Whoa, man. That's an excuse. What do
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: you mean you late? You had a hard time getting up.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting up here waiting on you to pick me up,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and you come 45 minutes late. Now, I'm late for work.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: See that excuse? That does okay for me. I was
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: sick this morning. I didn't feel up to it. That
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: excuse works wonderful for you. But the person receiving the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: excuse gets nothing. You've got to remove excuses from your
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: vocabulary and your walk in life. See, I don't really
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: accept excuses from anybody in my camp. If you're an employee,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: you work for me. I don't do excuses because I
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: don't give none. Today, for example, I'm not feeling real well.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: You know, my sinus system kicked in. I had a
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: troublesome night last night. I'm not feeling well. But guess what?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I came to work on the radio today and I'll
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: do these two shows I got to do today because
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I don't care about my excuses. People who are looking
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: for me to wake them up in the morning, give
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: them a laugh or give them a thought starter. They
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: not looking for my excuses. They just looking for the results.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: The excuses don't do me no good. Now there's some
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: days all of us are not up to par. We're
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: not 100%, but I'm not, I don't care about the excuses.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I don't accept excuses because I don't give excuses. The
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: other thing I removed from my life is blame. And
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: once you blame another person, man, This is what happened
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: with blame. Blame and excuses. Listen to me. Finger pointing
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: does nothing. Because you've heard the old saying, every time
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you point your finger at a person, you notice there's
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: three of them pointing back at you. Once you are
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: in the blame business and the excuse business, you forfeit
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: your chance for growth. I'll give you an example. If
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: you're always talking about it's somebody else's fault, And you
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: always have an excuse why something didn't get done or accomplished.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Guess what? Now you can't grow. You can't grow. You
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: can't fix it. Because the reason why it didn't happen
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: or the reason why you didn't accomplish it is because
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you blame someone else and you have an excuse. Once
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: you start accepting blame and excuses, you forfeit your chance
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: for growth. You kill any chance for change. Sometimes all
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: you have to do as a person is search within
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: yourself and find out what it is about you that
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you could change that could start producing a better result.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: But if you always blaming somebody else and providing and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: accepting excuses from yourself and other people, guess what you've done?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: You've killed your chance for change. Sometimes you could be
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: doing a whole lot better in life if you would
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: just change. If you would search yourself and change something
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: about you, you would be doing so much better. If
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you just search yourself, stop allowing excuses to be a
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: part of your makeup and stop allowing blame to be
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: a part of it. And you would discover a lot
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: of this is just you. It could be you. Another
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: thing that blame and excuse it does, it allows you
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to fail favorably. You know, man, you can just get
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: all right with failing. You can fail favorably because it
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: ain't my fault. And I didn't do it because it
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: was cold outside. So, ta-da, you allow yourself to fail favorably.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: That's an ugly spot to be in. But blaming excuses
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: allows you to fail favorably. Like it's okay to fail
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: because it ain't my fault. Because I have an excuse
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and it's they fault. Blaming excuses, man, is a very,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: very dangerous thing out there. Also, blaming excuses promotes a
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: climate of failure. It just permeates man throughout your life.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: And next thing you know, you ain't accomplishing nothing. Because
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: if blaming blame and excuses are part of your makeup,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: you now have promoted a climate for failure. It's OK.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: It's OK, because I have a reason why. Why you
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: didn't finish school? Because it was too cold to go.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Why you didn't finish school? Because that test was too hard.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I didn't study them two pages. I thought they said
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the first chapter. She questions us on the first three chapters.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't hear that. That's the only reason I fail.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: And you get all right with it. When you're no
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: longer the reason why something happens, you no longer have
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: control over what happens. Let me say that to you
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: one more time. When you're no longer the reason why
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: something happens, you ain't got to take responsibility. You're not
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the reason. Stop allowing blame and excuses to enter into
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: your makeup. They serve nobody any good, especially you. Those
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: are my closing remarks. All right now. Have yourself a
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: good weekend. You better. You better. For all Steve Harvey contests,
