  Speaker 1: Come on you. Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: one and only Steve Harvey. I got a radio show.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Real grateful for that. You know, it's funny. I remember
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: when I first started out in radio, A lot of
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: my peers laughed at me. Some of it was being
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: mean spirited, some of it was just you know, marcking me.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I'm used to stuff like that. But I had as
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: a special guest on my show, Joe Oldstein, and you
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: know something, man, he said something that was I can't
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: remember the scripture. I don't know exactly how it were
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: like we were having a long conversation, but the gist
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: of it was, don't be upset with where you are now,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and don't be upset with the small things in your life.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Be grateful for the small things and the small position
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: that you have right now, because you don't know where
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: that's going. You don't know what that's gonna be one day,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: you don't know what that's gonna lead to. And that
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: was very warming to hear him say that. But it
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: also reminded me of when I started in radio, how
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: small it was. It reminded me of when I started
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: in stand up making twenty five dollars a show. It
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: reminds me of not having a home at a period
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: in my life and what God has allowed me to
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: live in now. So don't be distraught over your position now,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and don't be ungrateful or unappreciative for the things you
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: have now because you don't know what that's gonna grow into.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: And that's really the gist of that I got from
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: what he was saying. I just wanted to share that
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: with you, that where you are now is so temporary
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: because now, like I've said before, now is a fleeting moment.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Right after you finish saying now, that moment that you
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: claimed as now, that's gone. So the where you are
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: now is a very fleeting process. Now. You can change
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: where you are now, and you can change how you
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: feel about where you're at now, and you can change
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: about where you going by simply changing your mind. It
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: is no difference. I'm telling you, folks. The thing that
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I've learned about successful people is not so much of
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: what they do. It's not what they have. The biggest
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: thing I've learned about successful people is how they think.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: That's the thing that's different it's how they think. And
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you that you can change the way you
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: think on any subject and start becoming successful towards that
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: starting now, you have to understand that. Man, the biggest
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: difference I've noticed between successful people and non successful people
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: is how they think. I was reading what it's God
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: said that he was taught all wrong about money. He
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: said that his father was very negative about money. He
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: all throughout his life he heard his father say, you know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: people who got money have walked on somebody to get it,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: or cheated somebody to get it. People who have money,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: money is the root of all evil. Money is money
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: is this And people who got money, you know, don't
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: deserve it. They've done something wrong to get it. Yah
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to y'all. So he said, he grew up the whole
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: time thinking that having money was something was wrong with that.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: He discovered that it wasn't. Look. You can choose to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: be successful anywhere you want to. I've chosen several ways
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: to be successful. I want to be a very very
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: successful father. I think that's one of the things that's
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: paramount in my life. That I really am working hard
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: right now to become a successful father, not a successful father.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: In terms of money, but a successful father in terms
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of offering the amount of love and guidance and leadership
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and the example that my children need to look at.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: And that's what I'm really really working hard at now.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I want to be successful as a father, but also
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I want to be successful as a husband. Marjorie to
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: always know that she can count on me, to not
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: have to wonder about me or look for me. You know.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I want her to feel secure in the fact that
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I really have gotten it right, that I really am
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: focused on being a good husband to her, because it
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: means so much to me, you know. So I'm working
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: hard on a lot of levels. I'm working hard and
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: trying very strong to be a successful motivator of people.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I want to be a share of information to people
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that will uplift others and give others the same things
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: that I've learned through the trials and tribulations of my life.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: But at the same time share that information and use
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the power of this microphone to uplift people, you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: not to destroy. My show is not about Ooh, guess
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: what so and so said? Guess what so and so did.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I don't like mean spirited things about people. You know
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I joke with people who calling this that's another thing.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: But I don't like destroying people with the power of
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the microphone. So I'm working very hard on being successful
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of areas of my life now. Also, I
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: do care about being financially successful too, because my father.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: One of the gifts he gave me was very simple gift.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: He told me a long time ago. He said, son,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the best thing you can do for poor people is
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: not be one of them. And that stuck with me.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: And this was a hard working man who was a
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: coal miner who worked construction his entire life. My father
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: didn't have an easy life man. My father didn't sit
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: behind a microphone. My father didn't come to work and
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: people cheered for him. My father wasn't famous. My father
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: was just a go get it dude. That he instilled
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: that in me. And I've taken that and applied it
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: to my craft and I thank God for him for that.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: But I do try to be financially successful so that
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I can do some things with it to help some
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: other people. Now, am I opposed to having nice things? No?
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Do I apologize for having nice things? No? And why
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: should I I work? You know, I'm not. I'm not
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: on the radio asking to give me money, you know,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: so I can go buy a car. I'm working, so
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I don't feel how you want to feel, and other
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: people do feel that way about it. But if success
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: in terms of finance is what you're lacking, you can
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: go about the business of doing that. I'm writing a book,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and that whole book is about teaching people how to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: become successful. And man, I'm breaking it down in a
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: way where everybody can get it, man, because I want
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the college student to get it, you know. I want
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the working mom to get it, to single mom to
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: get it. The hard working father that has been trying
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: to hold his family together can get it. The father
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: that ain't ever got it together and feel that because
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: of that reason, he can't be the father he needs
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: to be. I'm writing something, man, to put it into words,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to let you know that God is a forgiving God,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: and that God is a merciful God, and that God
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: can get you out of any situation you find yourself in.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: You just can't beat yourself up time you make a mistake.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I make mistakes all the time, man, I just got
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to remind myself to get up. I ask God for forgiveness.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I'll call on his mercy and his grace and I
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: get up and I go again. But it's coming, man.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: And if finance success is what you want, you got
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to change your mind. You got to start thinking about
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: how to produce it. The first thing you do is
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: you got to ask. You got to ask to have
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: a life and have a life more abundantly. That's a
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: scripture that he comes to you to give you life
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and to give you life more abundantly. That's a scripture.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: That ain't a joke, that ain't a theory. That's a fact,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and the fact that if you don't have a life
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: of abundance, you can get that by asking. Then it
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: starts by believing. And how too, don't even worry about that.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: He takes care of that himself. He'll send the stuff
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: your way. But you got to be willing to put
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: some effort in this thing now, and you can do it. Okay.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I know I was a little around the place today,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: but that's what it was. So you know, let's go
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: get it to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
