  Speaker 2: One and only.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Steve Harvey got a radio ship. Yeah, man, Steve Harvey
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: got a radio shop. Trying to do something with it too.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Man. You know, I was having a conversation the other
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: day with a young person and they were telling me
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: how they felt that their life was stuck, that their
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: life was in a rut, that they didn't know what
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: to do next. And one of the things that was
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: causing them this sadness or this depression. I mean, they're
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: really really into something right now. One of the things
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: that was causing it was the fact that they had
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: made a list of things they wanted to accomplish by
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: a certain age, and that age they just had a
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: birthday recently and they were looking at the list and
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: the list hadn't been fulfilled, and because that list hadn't
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: been fulfilled, they were really really sad about it. You know.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: One of the things that they had on the list
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: was marriage, kids, And I don't know everything else that
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: was on the list, but that was one of them.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: And because she had reached a certain age and she
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: wasn't married and she didn't have the kids, and she
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: had just celebrated a birthday. She's gone into this mode
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: of sadness where it's really really taken a toll on her.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: And as I was learning about her situation, I was
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: thinking about it, and I just wanted to share this
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: with you all this morning that one of the things
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: about making a list about what you want, which I
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: happen to be a proponent of, I do it myself.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: People have dream boards. I have a goal sheet. I've
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: been doing it for years. It's a wonderful way to
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: set goals and to keep it in front of you
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: as a constant reminder. And I always go over this
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: goal list every day, you know, I mean I go
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: with it all the time every day. Sometimes I miss
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: a day here and there, but mostly every day I
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: pull my goal sheet out and I look at it,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I read it. So I was going to these rallies
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: and I was learning about, you know, people who are
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: successful in how they kept their mind writing possible. And
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: one of the things I learned was to make these
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: dream boards, these lists, these gold sheets, and in making
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: a goal sheet, and you make the sheet according to
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: what you want, think about one thing when you made
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: your goal sheet about what you wanted. Does your goal
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: sheet have on it what God wants from you? Did
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: you ask in any of this what was His will
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: in your life? You know? Look, man, what we want
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: oftentimes is not what He wants for us. And you know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: if you're fighting against what you were created for, if
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: you're fighting against his will, I mean, what do you
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: want to happen? See? Don't be so hard on yourself
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: when you look at your goal sheet and you look
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: at what you've not become what you thought was a
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: great idea. Don't be so hard on yourself because you
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: just made a minded mistake. As do most people, we
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: oftentimes make our goals and set our goals up without
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: ever considering what is it that God wants from us.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: We keep talking about what we want without ever finding
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: out or knowing what it is God wants for us. Well,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: guess what, man, Maybe you're fighting against the grain. Maybe
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: you just a salmon heading upstream. That's a tough fight upstream.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Not all salmon's get up to the spawning grounds, you know,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: them don't make it upstream, you know, but all of them,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: nearly all of them except the ones that's killed by pray.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: When they're spawn they go out to the ocean. That's
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: cool because you're going because you're going with the grain,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: you're going downstream, you're going with the flow. That's But
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: when it's time to go against the grain, it's tough.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: And a lot of us have just been going against
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the grain for all of these years. But you know what, listen, man,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I did it. I know a lot of people who
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: did it. Very few people get it right from the
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: very beginning. Man, you got to stumble through life sometimes
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: sometimes you got to fall through life. You got to
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: make a lot of mistakes, man, But these mistakes are
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: not failures. You know, when you fail, it's something. Don't
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: look at it as a failure. Don't look at yourself
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: as a failure. Because you're thirty and your goals ain't
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: reached that you had on your list, that was your list.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: What about the things that's going right. Stop looking at
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: what you're not. Take some time out and thank God
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: for what you are. How about the fact that you
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: keep waking up to be thirty. You know, you get
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: depressed about these birthdays. You really want to throw yourself
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: in some depression. Miss a birthday. You really got a problem. Now,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: look at where you are. You keep reaching birthdays. That's
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: a glorious blessing. You keep waking up. You got your health,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: You've accomplished something. Something on your list is done. People
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: spend too much time on the negative side, and you're
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: just throwing yourself into depression. So what you want to
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: be married by a certain age, and you wanted to
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: have kids. Okay, cool, you could have done all that
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: with the wrong person. There's a blessing in not being
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: married to the wrong person. There's a blessing in not
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: having kids and nobody to help you raising. There's a
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: blessing in that man, you're talking to somebody who can
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: tell it to you. You can marry the wrong person
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: if you want to. I'm telling you you're gonna be
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: up in some mess you can't count on. So instead
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: of being angry because you're not married, you don't have kids,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: why don't you thank God the man. Maybe he spared
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: you from some misery here. Maybe you could have married
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: the wrong person. Maybe you have kids and you're not
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: really ready to be a mother or father. You got
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: to look at the upside, man, Quit looking at what
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: you don't have. Take some time to thank God for
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: what you do have. When you do that, you make
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: more room for blessings to flow into your life. I'm
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: not saying how God thinks, because I really don't know,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: but I'm telling you if a person comes to me
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: and I always give a person something and they never
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: appear grateful or they never say thank you, please know
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: you can quit coming to me. Now. I don't notice
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: how God works because I've gone back to him several
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: times without being grateful of thanking him, and He's filled
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: my basket up again. So I really think he's not
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: like that. But I can't make the call for sure,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: but I think at one point in time, me, just
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: me talking, i'd be a little ticked off at somebody
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: who was always taking, taking, taking, and never showing any gratitude.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: At one point in time, I would just stop the
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: flow of the take. You know, you just you can't
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: take no more from me. That's what I would do. Now.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not calling it like that because I ain't him,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: but I know he's merciful, he's full of goodness, and
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: he and he'll forgive you. And thank God he does
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: that because he's show enough done it for me. But wow, man,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: take some time out today and be grateful for what
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: you have, stop complaining about where you not, and think
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: about where you are, and then take it from there.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: And the next time you make a list, make sure
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: on that list you have God's will. What does he
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: want for you? Does God create give everybody a gift
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: and a talent? Some of us never apply gifts and talents.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: We head off in another direction. Then you wonder why
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: your life ain't where it's supposed to be. Have you
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: ever thought about what God gifted you to do? Have
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: you ever thought about doing that? And still skip what
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: you want? I wanted to play in the NBA, but
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you something at dribbling and shooting
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: and running all at one time, throwing me off a
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: little bit. You know, they just so I'm doing what
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I do. It's pretty cool. You canna look at it
