Steve Harvey's Closing Remarks - 07.29.25 · Daily Inspiration: The Steve Harvey Morning Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: In closing, I'd like to remind people it's kind of
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: something we had kind of touched on. In the opening
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: of the show, Junior said that he heard a quote. Junior,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: do you remember what the quote was that you said?
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, It says, if you think the cost of success
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: is high, wait till you get the bill from regret.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: One more time, Junior.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: If you think the cost of success is high, wait
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: until you get the bill from regret.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: We had talked about this this morning.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: If you think the cost of success is high, wait
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: till you get the bill for regret.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I've been in that decision before.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: And everyone gets to those moments in life where you
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: have to turn right or you turn left. And I'm
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: not saying turn right as in the right way or
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: left is the wrong way. I'm just saying everybody gets
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to a crossroad in life where you have to go
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: this way or that way. What I found in life
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: is that the way that you should go is always
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the harder route. It usually always is. It looks the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: least amount of fun. It doesn't show right away what
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: all the upside is.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: It just looks hard. Then there's an easy way you
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: could take.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: You can strike out and set your boundaries as difficult
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and high and hard, or you can take the easy
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: route and go I ain't gonna do nothing. I ain't
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: doing that today. That just looked too hard. I've made
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the decision before in my life not to take the hard.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Way and boil, boil, boil, boy, I had nothing but regret.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: So what I've learned in my travels and in my
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: life experiences is I now understand that success is a process,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and it is a difficult process. It is simply hard.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: But that's my only decision from here on out. And
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I've been making those decisions since I was nearly forty.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I don't take no easy way. I expect it to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: be difficult. I expect it to be challenging. I know
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: that it's gonna be hard. I know it's gonna be
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: froth with disappointment. I know it's going to be most challenging.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: But I also know it's gonna be very, very rewarding.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: What I will not do is take the nothing route,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the easy route, the settle forward route that I ain't
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: gonna do this because this right here, man, I just
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: ain't doing that today.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Because, buddy, let me tell you something.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: When you get that bill for regret when you look
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: back on what it should have could a man if
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I only had went on and faced it, that's a
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: hard one to live with.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Man, that's a life of regret.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: And all of us know somebody somewhere who is living
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: in a life of regret and man quitting. Quitting is
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the biggest sponsor of regret because when you quit, you
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: never know what the end could have been.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: See.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Often the struggler has given up when he might have
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: captured the victor's cup, and he learns too late, when
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the night came down how close he was to the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: golden crown. See that stanza in that poem Don't Quit
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: is a very effective one. Often the struggler has given
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: up when he might have captured the victor's cup, and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: he learns too late, when the night came down how
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: close he was to the golden crown. That's regret, man,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: when you give up just in the nick of time,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Because giving up assures you one thing, and one thing only,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: that you will not win, that there is no way
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: you can see victory.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: That's what giving up guarantees. Now, it ain't no guarantee.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: If you stay with it, but the possibility remains that
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you will succeed and you will become a victor. But
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: see so to those of you that look at things
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: so wrong all the time. Yeah, but see Steve, you
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: just said, even if you stick with it, it ain't
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: no guarantee.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Ain't no guarantees in life.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: But if you stick with it, the possibility remains. Why
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: would you destroy the possibility? Why would you remove all hope?
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: That don't make no sense to me? And even if
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: you fail, if you go lie a little bit further
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: up the road, you get a little bit more experienced,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: you get a little bit more learning, you get a
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: little bit more knowledge, so the next time that may
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: be the experience and the knowledge you need to win.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Don't ever give up, don't ever quit, don't ever succumb
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: to regret.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Stay with it.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: You never know when God is gonna flip the switch,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: and he ain't never been too late. Those are my
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: clothes remarks. Hey, y'all, do yourself a favor of talk
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: to God today. He would absolutely love to hear from you.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: And it don't matter if he you ain't talked to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: him in a while. He's a forgiving God. He's forgiven
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: me thousands of times I'm gonna probably use up a
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: few hundred more for.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: I leave this world.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to cut it down to just a
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: few hundreds and not do the thousands.
