  Speaker 1: I sure will. Good morning, everybody. You are listening to
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: The Voice. Come on, dig me now. One and only
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man, oh, man, oh, man.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: It symbolizes just one thing to me, man. It's just
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: a constant reminder of exactly how good God has been
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: to me over the years. And I thank him for it, too,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: because I realize every day that I wake up that
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I would be nothing without him. That everything I am,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: that's any good in me, I owe to him. Now,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: have I made some mistakes along the way? Yep. Bunches,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: bunches and bunches. And will I continue to make mistakes
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: along the way? Yep. Not as many, hopefully, as I
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: have in the past, because a lot of stuff I
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: know better now. But you're still going to make mistakes. Now,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: you know, hopefully I've limited the amount of intentional errors
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: in my life. I've wiped quite a few of those out.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: But from time to time, because we're human, we're going
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: to make a mistake every now and then. The trick
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: with it is, y'all, is not to let the devil
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: deceive you into thinking that once you make that mistake,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: that that's it. You can't do it. You've fallen off
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the wagon. You can't reboard it. That's the biggest trick
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: that he uses. He makes you think that if you
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: keep stumbling, that you can't run the race. It kind
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: of reminds me of a marathon runner from time to time.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I watch him on TV and you'll see some people
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: who finish the race, you know, in a nice pace.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: You see people finish the race fast. sprinting towards the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: finish line. But every now and then, you'll watch a
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: marathon and you'll see a runner. And the runner is
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: in really, really bad shape. The key is they finish
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the race. See, you don't get disqualified in the marathon
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: because you stumble. They don't take your... to finish the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: race because you keep falling. That's not the key. The
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: key is finishing. And a lot of times what the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: devil does is he makes you think that because you
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: keep stumbling, because you're swaying from side to side, that,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you know, you out the race. Well, that's not the case.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And see, and in this thing called life, let me
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: help you understand something. Everybody falls. Nobody sprints to the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: tape in this one. Nobody just runs free and clear.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: There are some people running faster than you and all
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: like this. And some people going to get to the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: end before you let them go ahead. Then when the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: end come, the end come. I ain't in a rush
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: to get to the end. But in this race, though,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: when you're stumbling and you're falling, it's a part of it.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: No one gets through this race without stumbling and falling,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: swaying from side to side. So don't let the the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: enemy deceive you into thinking that it's over. I try
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to be encouraging to people because I don't want people
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to get stuck on this thing, you know, and my
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: walk is very different from a lot of people's walks.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: And then I know a lot of people who walk
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: in faith the way I'm walking in faith. But my
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: thing in the morning is just to remind those that
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: is not a perfect walk, man, that it's not. Something
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that's set up where you're going to be skipping through
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: life scot-free without any pitfalls. You know, I keep saying
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: it over and over and over again, because like I said,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: when I was in D.C., my boy Hondo said this
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: to me and it just kind of stuck with me
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: that the road to construct the road to success is
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: always under construction. You have to figure and count on.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the setbacks and the pitfalls, but it's those people that, that, that, that,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: that fight through will be the victors in the end.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: You cannot give up, man. Stop going somewhere and sitting
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: down every time something goes down, it's going to go down.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: It's a part of it. It's going to happen. It's
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: going to occur. There are going to be setbacks. If
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you go and sit down every time there's a setback,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you didn't, That's not how this works. It is designed
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: that way. If success were easy, everybody would be successful.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: But success is just reserved for those who are willing
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to fight through, who refuse to settle for mediocrity, who
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: want something more. Now, don't get me wrong. Success is
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: defined by each individual. So what I may consider to
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: be successful, you may not consider that. You know, what
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Bill Gates considers successful, I might not consider. What Michael
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Jordan considers successful, I might not consider. What you consider successful,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: your boss might not consider. You have to define what
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: that is for yourself. It may not be monetary at all.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: You know, your level of success could be tied up
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: in community service. It could be tied up in family.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: It could be tied up in the church. Your level
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: of success could be tied up in the church. Boys clubs,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: it could be any number of things, whatever your level
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: of success is. You have to determine what that is you.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: And the best way to determine that is to get
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: in touch with your maker who created you to find
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: out what your mission and your purpose is so he
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: can put you on track. I just had this conversation
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: with my son and we were talking about getting on
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the path that God has set up for you. So
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: many times we find ourselves fighting through life because of
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: so much uncertainty because we have no idea where we're headed.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: It's like one of my sayings that I have at
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: my mentoring camp for boys is that a boy without
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: a male role model is like an explorer without a map. See,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: if you don't have a map, laid out in front
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: of you of where you're going. When you wake up
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: every day, that pretty much explains the feeling of confusion,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the lackadaisical attitude, the lack of purpose, the not understanding
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: your mission because you don't have not gotten in touch
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: with your creator to find out exactly what your path
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: in life is. What are you supposed to be doing?
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: The moment you can identify that is the moment that
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: you get started waking up with purpose, with the sense
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: of direction. When you kill the sense of I don't
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: know what's next or what to do. Now, there's going
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: to be some confusing moments no matter what happened. It's
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: going to be some uncertainty, but at least you know
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: where you're going. So if you're tired of waking up
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: feeling lost, abandoned, confused, don't know what to do, don't
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: know what you're supposed to be doing. Refer back to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: your maker, because when he created you, he had a
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: plan for you. When he created you, he had a
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: path for you. Now, we've made some decisions to get
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: off of both of those, the mission and the path.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: But God can get you right back on track. Do
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: that today. Ask him what you're supposed to be doing.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: And listen, God has all the answers if you form
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the relationship, okay? You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
