  Speaker 1: Come on, Uh huh, I sure will.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: 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.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: I got a radio show. Real grateful for that. You know.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: It's funny. I remember when I first started out in radio.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: A lot of my peers laughed at me. Some of
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: it was being mean spirited, some of it was just
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: you know, mocking me. I'm used to stuff like that.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: But I had a special guest on my show, Joe Oldstein,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and you know something, man, he said something that was.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I can't remember the scripture.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know exactly how it were like we were
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: having a long conversation, but the gist of it was,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: don't be upset with where you are now, and don't
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: be upset with the small things in your life. Be
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: grateful for the small things and the small position that
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: you have right now, because you don't know where that's going.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: You don't know what that's gonna be one day, you
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: don't know what that's gonna lead to. And that was
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: very warming team hear him say that, But it also
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: reminded me of when I started in radio, how small
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: it was. It reminded me of when I started in
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: stand up making twenty five dollars a show. It reminds
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: me of not having a home at a period in
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: my life and what God has allowed me to live
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: 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
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: have now because you don't know what that's going to
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: grow into. And that's really the gist of that I
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: got from what he was saying. I just wanted to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: share that with you, that where you are now is
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: so temporary because now, like I've said before, now is
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: a fleeting moment. Right after you finish saying now, that
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: moment that you claimed as now, that's gone. So the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: where you are now is a very fleeting process.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: You can change where you are now, and you can
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: change how you feel about where you're at now, and
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you can change about where you're going by simply changing
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: your mind. It is no difference. I'm telling you, folks.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: The thing that I've learned about successful people is not
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: so much of what they do. It's not what they have.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: The biggest thing I've learned about successful people is how
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: they think. That's the thing that's different. It's how they think.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: And I'm telling you that you can change the way
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you think on any subject and start becoming successful towards
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: that starting now, you have to understand that. Man, the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: biggest difference I've noticed between successful people and non successful
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: people is how they think. I was reading What'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
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: is this And people who got money, you know, don't
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: deserve it.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: They've done something wrong to get it. Yah to y'all.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: So, he said, he grew up the whole time thinking
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that having money was something was wrong with that.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: He discovered that it wasn't. Look.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: You can choose to be successful anywhere you want to.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I've chosen several ways to be successful. I want to
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: be a very very successful father. I think that's one
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of the things that's paramount in my life that I
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: really am working hard right now to become a successful father,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: not a successful father in terms of money, but a
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: successful father in terms of offering the amount of love
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and guidance and leadership and the example that my children
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: need to look at. That's what I'm really really working
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: hard at now. I want to be successful as a father,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: but also I want to be successful as a husband.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I want Marjorie to always know that she can count
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: on me, to not have to wonder about me or
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: look for me.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: 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
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: focused on being a good husband to her because it
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: means so much to.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Me, you know.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: So I'm working hard on a lot of levels. I'm
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: working hard and trying very strong to be a successful
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: motivator of people. I want to be a share of
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: information to people that will uplift others and give others
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the same things that I've learned through the trials and
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: tribulations of my life. But at the same time share
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: that information and use the power of this microphone to
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: uplift people, you know, not to destroy. My show is
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: not about Ooh, guess what so and so said? Guess
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: what so and so did. I don't like mean spirited
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: things about people, you know, I joke with people who
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: calling this that's another thing. But I don't like destroying
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: people with the power of the microphone. So I'm working
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: very hard on being success a lot of areas of
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: my life now. Also, I do care about being financially
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: successful too, because my father. One of the gifts he
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: gave me was very simple gift. He told me a
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: long time ago. He said, son, the best thing you
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: can do for poor people is not be one of them.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: And that stuck with me. And this was a hard
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: working man who was a coal miner who worked construction
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: his entire life. My father didn't have an easy life man.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: My father didn't sit behind a microphone. My father didn't
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: come to work and people cheered for him. My father
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: wasn't famous. My father was just a go get it dude.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: That he instilled that in me. And I've taken that
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and applied it to my craft and I thank God
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: for him for that. But I do try to be
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: financially successful so that I can do some things with
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: it to help some other people. Now, am I opposed
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: to having nice things?
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: No? Do I apologize for having nice things? No?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: And why should I I work? You know I'm not
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: and I'm not on the radio asking to give me money,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you know, so I can go buy a car. I'm working,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: so I don't feel how you want to feel. And
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: other people do feel that way about it. But if
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: success in terms of finance is what you're lacking, you
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: can go about the business of doing that. I'm writing
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: a book, and that whole book is about teaching people
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: how to become successful. And man, I'm breaking it down
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: in a way where everybody can get it, man, because
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I want the college student to get it, you know.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I want the working mom to get it, the single
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: mom to get it. The hard working father that has
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: been trying to hold his family together can get it.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: The father that ain't ever got it together and feel
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: that because of that reason, he can't be the father
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: he needs to be. I'm writing something, man, to put
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: it into words, to let you know that God is
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: a forgiving God, and that God is a merciful God,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and that God can get you out of any situation
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: you find yourself in. You just can't beat yourself up
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: every time you make a mistake. I make mistakes all
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the time, man, I just got to remind myself to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: get up. I ask God for forgiveness. I will call
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: on his mercy and his grace and I get up
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and I go again. But it's coming, man. And if
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: finance success is what you want, you got to change
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: your mind. You got to start thinking about how to
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: produce it. The first thing you do is you got
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: to ask. You got to ask to have a life
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and have a life more abundantly. That's a scripture that
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: He comes to you to give you life and to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: give you life more abundantly.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: That's a scripture. That ain't a joke, that ain't a theory.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: That's a fact, and the fact that if you don't
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: have a life of abundance, you can get that by asking.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Then it starts by believing. And how too, don't even
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: worry about that. He takes care of that himself. He'll
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: send the stuff your way. But you got to be
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: willing to put some effort in this thing now, and
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: you can do it.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: 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.
