  Speaker 1: Good morning, everybody. You all listening to The Voice. Come on,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey. Got a
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: radio show. I thank God for it every day. I
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: try to remember that, too. You know, I try to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: remember to be grateful. I think gratitude is... One of
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the things that helps keep me grounded, you can go
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: as far as you want in life if you don't
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: mind who gets the credit. Well, that applies to God, too,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: don't it? I mean, you know, really, if you don't
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: mind who gets the credit, I'm surrounded by very competent people.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I'm surrounded by a lot of people who work hard
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: on their jobs, on their career, who are dedicated. employees
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: and also just dedicated to their families and dedicated to
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: their own set of aspirations. I don't expect anybody to
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: work for me forever. I always look at my job
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: opportunities as stepping stones because I want everyone around me
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: really to aspire to be more. I mean, that's really
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the way I am. I'm not any other way. I'm
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: not trying to hold you to this position, you know,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: tell you there's no room for growth.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Any of that.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: But even though I'm surrounded by these people, I'm grateful
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: that God placed them in my path, in my life,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: but in my mind, in my spirit, in everything in me,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the credit still belongs to God.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. The credit still belongs to God.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: See, if you would just for a moment, stop thinking
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: about yourself just for a moment. I know that's hard,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: but just for a moment, stop thinking about yourself and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: realize that maybe you are who you are because God
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: is who he is. Maybe that's the case. Have you
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: ever considered that? That's the strongest possibility I can give
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: to you. You know, how do you think you're the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: one that made it through? How you think you the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: one after all of the ignorant decisions we have made?
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: And oh, my goodness, let's all be honest. Ain't we
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: made some crazy decisions? I'm talking about, man, I have
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: made decisions so adverse to my destiny and career, my promises.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I've made some decisions, man, knowingly. You hear me knowingly
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: do something wrong. And in spite of all that, I'm
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: still here standing.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, come on now. Really? Really?
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: All the dirt you done done. Everybody done dirt. All
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the mistakes you've made. You in the position you in today.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Because of what? Because you all that? Because you work
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: harder than anybody else? Look, I work hard. I'll tell
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you in a minute I work hard. But I don't
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: think I'm the hardest working person out there. I'm pretty
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: sure somebody done worked way harder than I have. So, OK,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: so you work hard.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: OK, cool.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I got all that. But man, what about his grace
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and his mercy? What about his favor? How many times, man,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you didn't rely on that even when you know you
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: was relying on it? How many times, man, God has
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: shown you mercy? You ain't even deserve it. Do you
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: know how many things I've done wrong? I just ain't
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: get caught at it. You know, let me see how
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: simple I can be.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: You speed. You jaywalk.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: You lie to police when you get pulled over that
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: you wasn't speeding. You go to court and argue you
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: wasn't speeding when you was. You make U-turns. I'm just
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: doing traffic violations. Now, let's get off traffic for a second.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Let's get on human violations. You talk about people when
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you're not supposed to. You indulge yourself in gossip even
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: when you don't really have all the facts. You pass judgment.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: You lust for people that don't belong to you. You
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: say things to people that you're not supposed to say. So, look,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: all of us, we all, we all guilty now. See,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying you do all of that, but I'm
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: saying I'm pretty sure I hit you somewhere in there.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Just somewhere in there. You didn't lie before. You know,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: you lied recently. I mean, come on. I'm just saying.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: So with all that in mind, see, I'm just looking
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: at the little things that we do that we don't
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: get busted for. Not to mention the chips you stole
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: when you was a kid and nobody caught you. Well,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: that elevated, didn't it? And some of y'all just didn't
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: stop stealing. And next thing you know, you was in
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a car. Now you're sitting somewhere you don't want to
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: be sitting because of a decision you made. But through
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: his grace and mercy, couldn't it have been worse though?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Without his grace and mercy, could not it have been worse?
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I know two dudes that got caught in the garage
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: one time trying to break in somebody's house and the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: person in the house they broke into just happened to
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: have a gun and held them in the garage, caught
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: them and held them to the garage to the police car.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: That's grace and mercy right there because they had all
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: full right to shoot these two people, but they didn't.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: They're grace and mercy. See, All of us have benefited
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: from his grace and mercy. All of us have done
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a wrong, committed a sin, broken a law, and somehow
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: through his grace and mercy got by doing drugs, buying drugs,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: slinging drugs, doing something, got by, jumped on somebody for
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: no reason, got by, you know. So see how you
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: figure with all that's that can go on in your life.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: And then hold on. Let me throw a couple more
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: at you. You can't wake yourself up in the morning.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Mr. Big Shot.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: You don't have the ability to control the breaths that
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you take.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Really, Mr. Big Shot. Really.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Let's get real basic with it now. You can't wake
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: yourself up in the morning. That's favor. That's grace. That's mercy.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: That's him allowing you to wake up. Just hoping we
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: get it right. You know, God spared me through all
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the dirt I was doing, just hoping one day, man,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: can you just straighten up a little bit? When I
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: finally straightened up, and I'm going to just say it,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: straightened up a little bit. See, I ain't straightened up
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: all the way. See, I ain't going to sit here
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and tell you that. I just straightened up a little bit.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: He started blessing me. So the more blessings I got,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I started going, man, maybe I'll try straightening up a
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: little bit more. So I straightened up a little bit more. Now,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I still got a long way to go, but I'm
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: straighter than I was. Now, when people judging me and
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: as they will and they do, because that ain't right,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: but they do. And I ain't walking just the way
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: they walk. Then here come the criticism. I get it
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: all the time. Stop wanting credit all the time and
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: give out some credit where credit is due. Instead of
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: having somebody patting you on your back all the time.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Why don't you tell God, tell people it was really
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: was God, man, that you don't really know how you
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: made it. That really, man, you have no explanation for
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: your success or you have no explanation why you still
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: exist in the day. Why don't you tell somebody it
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: was God today? Don't be ashamed. It's the truth, ain't it?
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, really, man, let's give God some credit here.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Give God the credit and the glory and the honor.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: And like that plaque said, you can go as far
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: as you want in life if you don't mind who
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: gets the credit.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: All right. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
