  Speaker 1: Come on, Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: you're listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: one and only Steve Harley got a radio show.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Here we go today.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I think I have something for a lot of people today,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: at least I hope I do. And this is about
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: on your journey, And this is about something that happens
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: to us all. I mean, what happens to all of
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: us from time to time when we get discouraged. What
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: happens to all of us when we feel like quitting,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: What happens to all of us when we have that
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: turnback moment. What happens to all of us when it
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: don't seem like it's going to pan out? Because I
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: want you to understand something that everyone, every single living soul,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: has those thoughts about something at some point in their life.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, look, I've oftentimes been discouraged about
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: things not happening as fast as I like them. All
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: things don't pan out the way I would like for
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: them to have panned out. I mean, it's so many
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: ways to get discouraged. But but what my encouragement to
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you is when discouragement comes is understand this. It is
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a part of the growth process. It is a test.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: It is a test of your faith, how bad you
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: want it?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Do you really believe?
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: That's all faith is is simply, and I've said this
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: how many times. Faith is the belief in things that
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you cannot see. So when this discouragement comes, setbacks comes,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: it is a test of your faith. At least it's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: been that way for me. Now other people can explain
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: it another way. I'm not other people. I can only
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: give it to you the way it has come to
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: me and throughout my life and man or man or
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: man discouragement sometimes it's tough to deal with because it
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: seems at times when you are discouraged that is so
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: absolute that this means the end, and if you allow
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: it to set in, it can be just that the
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: end of you, when merely merely it was a test,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: that's all it is. But the majority of people that
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I know who are not successful, or who have told
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: me the story of how they gave up, it was
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: because at a moment of discouragement that they allowed it
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to set in and it became so engulfing that it
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: became the reason why you shouldn't finish, And then they
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: started justifying it with hitt one that I hate to hear. Well,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: if it's God's will, excuse me. If it's God's will
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: that you fail. If it's God's will that you're not successful.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: If it's God's will that you lay down and give up,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: it's God's will that you allow yourself to amount to,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: not to not reach your potential.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: That's God's will. That's not the God I know.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: That's not the God I served, that's not the God
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I've read about. That's not the God I believe in.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I just my mother always taught me something
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: that he didn't bring me this far to leave me.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I just don't believe that, not for a second.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Now. Have I convinced myself for some things, yep?
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Have I allowed the devil to come into the picture
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and paint a different one from it? Yep, yep, I've
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: done all of that. But you can't blame that on God. Now,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: come on, so when discouragement comes, try to look at
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: it if you can, as a test of your faith,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and you merely have to pass the test. It could
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: be for a day or half a day, a few hours,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a week, a few weeks, It don't matter. Don't nobody
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: know how long the test period is. Your job is
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to keep the faith and keep moving. Keep the faith
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and keep moving, keep working, keep believing, keep hope alive.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: That's your job.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: If you do that, that's how you pass the test.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: It could be over tomorrow, it could be over in
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: two weeks, it could be over in a month.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: You don't know.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: But all you got to do is wake up and
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: keep the faith and fight the discouraging feelings.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: And how do you do that? Steve? Now here we go.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: This is the part I know about for show.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Because how many times I've had to fight off discouragement
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: in order to get to where God wanted me to be.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: What do you do when you become discouraged? Well, I
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: think of the outcome. When I get discouraged about a task,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I think about the outcome. Man, what would it be
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: like if I were to complete the task. What would
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: it be like?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: What would the outcome be for me? If I hung
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Loane in there? If I didn't give up? If I imagine,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I imagine, if I don't quit, I imagine, if I don't.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Give up, what would it be like?
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Man? Suppose everything I'm hoping for comes true? But if
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I don't quit and give up. That might just be
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the case. I start talking to myself like that, I
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: think of what the upside is. What's the upside to
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: stay in with it? You see, all this is the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: same thing. I'm just giving you different ways to look
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: at it. I'm saying the exact same thing over and over.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: But I'm just trying to find the switch that connects
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: in your mind where you can say, Okay, man, I'm
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: gonna hang in there. Because if you think of the outcome,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and the outcome is appealing to you, if you imagine
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: what it would be like.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: If you don't give up, or you don't quit.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: If you think only of what the upside is to
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: stay in with it, And then I go, where can
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: this lead to? If I stay with it, man, and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the outcome comes true? What else could that lead me to?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Because I mean, there's always more to it. So where
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: else could this lead me to? What are the possibilities?
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: What are the limitless possibilities? What could God possibly have
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: in store for me? If I just hang in there,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: if I pass this test of faith, if I just
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: pass this test, now, it ain't gonna be the only one.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: But you gotta get past this one. No, then you
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: gonna hear the smooth plane. Then it's gonna be another one.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be another one. Life ain't nothing but a
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: series of tests. Man. Man, when you're thinking about giving up,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: when you're discouraged, think of the outcome.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Imagine what it.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Would be like if you don't quit, if you don't
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: give up, what's the upside to staying with it? Where
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: can this all lead to? What can this get you to?
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: If you do this and you get to where you
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: think you want to be, Oh my god, what's after that?
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: What are the limitless and endless possibilities of holding on
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to your faith?
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: What could really be out there for me? Man?
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: If I just pass this test, you gotta talk yourself
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: into hanging in there. To the Steve Harvey Morning Show
