• 0:10
  Speaker 1: one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: o man o, man. Wow. I think about all the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: things God has done for me is overwhelming at times.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: And I want everybody to have that feeling and to
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: sharing that feeling of completion and satisfaction. And the only
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: reason I got this, and it's the thousandth time I've
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: said it, is because I formed a relationship with my creator. Period.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: That's it. That's that's it. I can't tell you as
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: anything else else. You know, I've always had a strong
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: work ethic. My father put that in me. My father's
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: conversation with me growing up was always constantly about work hard,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: don't be lazy, be a man, do what you say
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: you're gonna do. YadA YadA, YadA, YadA YadA. Man. I
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: was so tired my father at times. I was going, Man,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: what is with this dude? Right here? Man, every time
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: we have a conversation, it's got to be about work.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: It's got to be about, you know, man, doing your best,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: trying hard, you know, working, being honest, do what you
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: say you're gonna do, but that was his mission. I
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: can't tell you how much I appreciate that now. I
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: can't even I can't even put it into words when
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I think about my old man and what he was
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to me, and I just, man, I'm so grateful for
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: that balance I had in my life. And then my
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: father was a fighter. He fought on the weekends. You know.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: My father used to come home with his with his
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: clothes toe off of him. He put a fresh shirt on,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and he go back. My mom used to talk about
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: my father fighting all the time, slick, while you are
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: always fighting. You know a little bit of that rubbed
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: off on me too. You know that kind of got
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: into me, and I didn't understand that either. But then
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: on the same turn, my mother was a Sunday school
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: teacher for forty years, so her conversation was never about
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: fighting or anything. It was all about love and understanding
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and doing another that you would have to do unto you.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: My mom was a Sunday school teacher, so I learned
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: about faith. I had to go to Sunday school, prayer meeting,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Bible study, young people meeting, choir rehearsal. You know, I
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: was a church man so much. I was actually looking
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: as there's got to be an alternative to this, you know.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I want you know I was a little kid even
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I was thinking at one point maybe I ought to
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: looking to Hell because there's got to be something cooler
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: than this going on every day. It had got that
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: crazy for me. But the balance between those two people
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: created who I am today. And I want you to
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: understand that the things that you are in your past
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: have helped create who you are today. If you view
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: it the right way, everything that has happened to you
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: in your past has happened to you for a reason,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and it's usually for the good if you view it
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: that way. But if you, on the other hand, are
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: a type of person who can't move forward because you
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: are allowing your past to stop you from having your future,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: then you, my friend, are doing a disservice to your life.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: You are not honoring God's blessings. You are not taking
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: advantage of the gain, knowledge, wisdom, and experience of your life. Example,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: if you are a woman and you are always talking
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: about a former relationship what he did to me. If
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: he had not did this to me, I wouldn't be
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: in this place today. I thought I had a man
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Now I ain't got no man ah llah lah lah
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: la lah I. You know he came along and I
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: was doing just swell. He just came in and he
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: just lied to me. He lied to me, nod, he
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: did this to me. Then he cheated, then he left.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: All of that that you're saying can very well be true.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Have you thought that maybe maybe somewhere in God's infinite wisdom,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: that he knew that you had made a mistake in
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: picking him anyway? Maybe he knew you had made a
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: mistake in saying yes or I do to him anyway,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: or come on, move in? And so what he did
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: was based on your decision now to say yes, I
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: do or come on, let's move in together. That was
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: your decision. You ain't go to him about this one.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: You made this decision based on that decision, and all
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the negative things that started happening. He allowed you to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: get away from it. Now how you got away from it,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: it's always not the choice of ours. See, you stuck
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: on the fact that he left, that he walked out.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: But let me share this with you. When he was there,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: how good was he? Tell you? How good was he
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: for you? See? You got to stare at you got
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to look at the blessing. The blessing is. Now you
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: are on your own. Now you walk in your house,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: ain't nobody in there with a disruptive spirit. Now you
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: go home. You could take your clothes off, walk around
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: like you want to. Now you go home, you can
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: sit down and look at TV or catch your breath
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: if you want to. Your kids don't have to see
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: y'all arguing all the time. Have you looked at the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: blessing in it? But now if you gonna keep looking
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: at the negative, then guess what. Now you can't move
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: forward because you keep allowing your past to keep you
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: from moving forward. If God has brought you through it,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: why don't you move on from it? Look, you got
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: through it, gone, he ain't coming back. He got somebody else.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: So you gonna sit there and just keep tripping couts.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: He gone and he got somebody else. Hey, pick yourself up.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Thank God for the blessing. It didn't feel like a blessing.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Why you was going through it and all the pain
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: of him leaving and the divorce and all that messed
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: you up? Got it? When you get through it all
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: of that, you ain't the first one being left You
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: ain't the first one being divorced. You ain't the first
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: one been in a bad relationship. Pick yourself up, thank
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: God for the blessing, and move forward in your life,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: because maybe when you quit complaining, maybe you'll find out
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: that God has something in store for you that he
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: wants you to have, but he can't give it to
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you if you ain't grateful. So God gives you a blessing,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: but because you don't see it as a blessing, you
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: ain't grateful for it. Now, guess what, You steady asking
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: God to do something for you, but you ain't thanking
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: him for what he's done for you, but you steady
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: wanting him to do more. How does that work? How
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: does that work? Man? That he should keep on giving
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: you things when you ain't even working with the stuff
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: he done gave you. And I don't know, And I'm
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: just using that one example. It could go for me
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: and too, vice versa, and so on and so forth.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I'm just using that as an example. Now, why I
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: laid on that one so long? You have to take
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: that over God, that's all just sat I ain't pointing
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: fingers at nobody in nothing because I've been guilty on
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: both sides of the coin. Who am I, But I'm
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: just sharing with you what I had to do. I
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: had to learn to stop allowing my past to interfere
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: with my future. You're listening to The Steve Eave Harvey
