- 0:06Speaker 1: y'all listen to the voice. Come on, dig me now,
- 0:09Speaker 1: one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man
- 0:13Speaker 1: o man o man grateful for it comes with a
- 0:17Speaker 1: huge amount of responsibility. I didn't really know I was
- 0:20Speaker 1: gonna have to be this responsible, you know. Can I
- 0:24Speaker 1: share something with y'all? I started out to Finally I
- 0:27Speaker 1: had gotten on track and was able to see a
- 0:31Speaker 1: way to even pursue my dream. It has been a long,
- 0:37Speaker 1: a long trip that I've been on, and I've gone
- 0:39Speaker 1: through so many phases of it. It is rewarding along
- 0:44Speaker 1: the way to accomplish your dreams. What I'm saying is this,
- 0:48Speaker 1: let me, let me put it together, because I got
- 0:50Speaker 1: so much running through my head right now. You know,
- 0:53Speaker 1: it's it's one thing to accomplish your dreams, but there's
- 0:57Speaker 1: joy in the process of achieving it. See, some people
- 1:03Speaker 1: are so caught up in the goal, the final goal,
- 1:08Speaker 1: that they find no joy, no enjoyment in the process.
- 1:14Speaker 1: If you have found what it is you want to
- 1:18Speaker 1: do and you strike out on that journey, please understand
- 1:24Speaker 1: you are far more blessed than the average person to
- 1:28Speaker 1: know what it is you really want to do, to
- 1:31Speaker 1: find your work in life, your purpose, to find out
- 1:37Speaker 1: what direction you want to go in is such a blessing.
- 1:41Speaker 1: The average person, if you sit down and talk to them,
- 1:44Speaker 1: oftentimes don't have their life on track. And it'd be
- 1:48Speaker 1: some people that you looking at you think, God it
- 1:50Speaker 1: going on because of their appearance, their swagger. Oh they
- 1:55Speaker 1: walk like it, they talk like it, they look like it.
- 1:57Speaker 1: But if you sit down and talk to the average
- 1:59Speaker 1: per the average person man does not know what their
- 2:05Speaker 1: purpose is, has not discovered what they want to do,
- 2:09Speaker 1: and have no idea how to get there. If you
- 2:11Speaker 1: are on the other side of that, if you understand
- 2:15Speaker 1: your purpose, if you have an idea of what you
- 2:18Speaker 1: want to be, and you are on your way there,
- 2:21Speaker 1: you are truly blessed. And in that blessing you must
- 2:26Speaker 1: recognize it as a blessing. You must recognize the fact
- 2:31Speaker 1: that you are on the right side and that there
- 2:35Speaker 1: should be a sense of accomplishment and a feeling of
- 2:38Speaker 1: pride in you that you are on track to accomplish
- 2:41Speaker 1: your goal. See what used to happen was sometimes I
- 2:45Speaker 1: used to keep my nose so on the grindstone that
- 2:50Speaker 1: I wouldn't even look up and realize. Man, hey man,
- 2:54Speaker 1: I know you're trying to get here, but Steve, hold on, Man,
- 2:57Speaker 1: can't you see what you've done so far? Can't you
- 3:00Speaker 1: find just some joy in the process. See, a lot
- 3:04Speaker 1: of us lose the joy of a blessings God has
- 3:07Speaker 1: given us because we looking at the end talking about
- 3:09Speaker 1: I ain't there yet, you on your way. I'm gonna
- 3:13Speaker 1: give you an example. I had a friend who told
- 3:16Speaker 1: me that they wanted to be a millionaire. And they
- 3:20Speaker 1: asked me some questions and I told them, so they
- 3:23Speaker 1: started the process. And I am telling you, this dude
- 3:28Speaker 1: works extremely hard. So about a year later we were talking.
- 3:35Speaker 1: He had found this business, he had set his goal,
- 3:42Speaker 1: and he was working towards it. Then about two years
- 3:45Speaker 1: later I ran up into him again. We were talking
- 3:47Speaker 1: about it and everything. He said, Man, really really appreciate
- 3:50Speaker 1: the advice. He said, Man, but this is all jacked up, man,
- 3:54Speaker 1: because I still ain't made that million I was talking about.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I said, well, hey, man, just just keep at it
- 4:00Speaker 1: is coming. He said, Man, keep at it. Man. You
- 4:03Speaker 1: know how long I've been doing this been two years now.

- 4:09Speaker 1: to myself. Yeah, two years he said, Man, I've been
- 4:11Speaker 1: grinding so long. Man, its just it ain't happening for me.
- 4:15Speaker 1: I said, wait a minute, man, holld on, hold on.
- 4:18Speaker 1: I said, about how much you making right now a year? Man?
- 4:22Speaker 1: About two hundred and fifty thousand. I quit breathing. I said, well,
- 4:28Speaker 1: my man, two years ago you didn't have a clue.
- 4:34Speaker 1: Two years later, you making a quarter of a million dollars.
- 4:38Speaker 1: I said, man, do you understand how blessed you are?
- 4:42Speaker 1: I said, ma'am, your family was about to get put
- 4:45Speaker 1: out two years ago you done bought a house. Yeah, man,
- 4:49Speaker 1: but this ain't the house. I really won't. Oh, oh, partner,
- 4:53Speaker 1: whoa I got that? I got that the house you

- 4:59Speaker 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? Man? Man,
- 5:15Speaker 1: you act like don't nobody want to have nothing but you?
- 5:18Speaker 1: I said, whoa man, Where are you going with this conversation?
- 5:20Speaker 1: I said, Oh, I didn't come to you. I just
- 5:22Speaker 1: came to you and asked you how you doing. And
- 5:24Speaker 1: I'm trying to point out to you that the journey
- 5:27Speaker 1: 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. You on your way. You
- 5:42Speaker 1: done went from he thog. This dude was making fifteen
- 5:45Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year. You making quarter of a million
- 5:46Speaker 1: dollars in two years. Man, Come on, man, can't you
- 5:49Speaker 1: see can't you see? So? He said? Eventually, Ah, man,
- 5:54Speaker 1: I kind of see what you saying. But that ain't
- 5:55Speaker 1: about nothing to me because I ran up into him
- 5:59Speaker 1: a year and a half have later. How you doing, man, man,
- 6:04Speaker 1: I shore wish I'd appreciated my life when I had
- 6:07Speaker 1: it like that? I said, what you mean, had it
- 6:09Speaker 1: like that? Man? Just fell on some hard times man,
- 6:12Speaker 1: right back where 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 or 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
- 6:32Speaker 1: looking at the fact that you might have to start over,
- 6:34Speaker 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
- 6:47Speaker 1: to handle it your way. Go ahead and handle 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
- 6:55Speaker 1: us all the power choice. So then maybe he said, Okay,
- 7:00Speaker 1: I appreciate the way I'm doing it. You don't like
- 7:02Speaker 1: the favor I'm showing you. You think it's taken too long.
- 7:04Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you do it your way. I'm not
- 7:06Speaker 1: gonna turn my back on you. I'm just gonna let
- 7:08Speaker 1: you do it your way. Just just say. Maybe he
- 7:11Speaker 1: said that, and now he right back where he was.
- 7:14Speaker 1: So what I tried to get the young cat to
- 7:16Speaker 1: understand was man, appreciate your life for what it is,
- 7:20Speaker 1: because like life. Jennings got that song that he got
- 7:23Speaker 1: out off this album. Still, I still believe it could
- 7:27Speaker 1: have been worse, and now that it is worse. What's
- 7:30Speaker 1: on your mind now, folks? If you are on that
- 7:34Speaker 1: side of life where you have figured out what you
- 7:36Speaker 1: 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
- 7:41Speaker 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. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show.
