  Speaker 1: Here we are, last break of the day on this Friday.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: We made it. We made it. Thank you to our audience,
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: as always, to the Steve Harvey Nation. Junior, you have
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: a question for Steve on the way out? Yeah. Unc,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: let me ask you about this, Unc, because, you know,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: I think you're great. And, Unc, it's okay for everybody
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: to be great? Can everybody just be great? No, everybody's
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: not going to be great, Junior. No, it's not going
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: to happen.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Everybody's not going to be great because great comes with
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: a cost. Everybody, everybody don't want to pay the cost.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: You know, I know a lot of people started out
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: to be great, but then the cost and they stopped,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you know, so no, everybody's not going to be great.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: And it's OK. And it's OK. It depends on your
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: definition of greatness.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: But if you if your greatness is comparing yourself to
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: somebody else, you're going to be in a world of trouble.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: You're going to be in a world of trouble, man.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: if you're trying to make your greatness compared to somebody else,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: because your path is not, you're not going to ever
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: get the same path. You know, no two people get
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the exact same set of circumstances. It's just like, look, man, no,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: no two people have the same, uh, um, um, fingerprint
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: because God made us uniquely us and our path in
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: life is uniquely ours, you know? So no, man, um,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Don't compare yourself to others. Just go on and be
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: your own version of greatness. I would hope that everybody
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: would want to be the best version of themselves that
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: they could possibly be. That's the ultimate. So if you
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: want to be the teacher of the year, win it.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: You know, if you want to be employee of the month,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: win it. You know, if you want to get the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: salesman of the year, go for it. You want to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: climb the corporate ladder, be about it. You want to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: be the first person in your family to become supervisor?
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Man, live it.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: But go be the greatest version of you that you
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: can possibly be. That should be everybody's goal. But sad
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: to say, there are still people who won't do that.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Let's take the comparison off the table. There are still
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: people who will not go and be the best version
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: of themselves.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: You see it all the time. Look, man, the thing.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: God did to us that was really, really cool was
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: God gave all of us the power of choice.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: We get to decide. Look, birds, when they're born, birds
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: have to be birds.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: They have to live in a nest for a while,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and they get put out the nest or whatever, and
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: birds have to go fly. And birds eat insects, other birds, worms, meat.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Some birds are hunters, falcons, eagles, hawks. You know, they
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: eat wildlife. But they are birds. Dogs, no matter what
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: breed they are, they steal dogs. And they live the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: dog's life. We are the only animal, the only creature
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: that God created that he gave the power of choice
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to because we are created in God's image. So the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: beautiful thing about whoever we are, we get to choose
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and we can make decisions about our life every day.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Black people don't have to marry black people. White people
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: don't have to marry white people. You get to choose.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Dogs have to be with other dogs.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: No, man. No. We get to choose that.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: So if you are unhappy with the direction of your life,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: here's the caveat.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: You, right now, can make a.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Decision that to change that and guess what you don't
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: need nobody's permission it's a beautiful thing God has given
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: us the power of choice because once you get sick
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: of being whatever version of you you've become you can
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: make the decision to change that there was a period
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: in my life man I was just sick of me
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I was sick of the version I was and I
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: decided man I got to be a better version of
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: me because I'm with me every day And I was
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: sick of the person I was being with. I woke
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: up to this dude every morning. This is who I'm
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: riding with. This is my dog ride or die. Man,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: let me change this cat right here. Because this dude
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: right here, he got to do better. And I made
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the decision.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: And I did.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: And that's the beautiful thing of it, man. God gave
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: us the power of choice.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: You get to decide. So now.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: When your life ain't going the way you want to,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: quit blaming other people. Quit looking around for some external
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: reasoning and all this here. What about you? Because you
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: get to decide. You can yay or nay. You can
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: pull the trigger on the idea or not. You can
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: begin or you can procrastinate. You can look at it

  Speaker 1: can go for this quick money. You can go and
