Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Uh huh. I shall will a good morning everybody. You're
listening to the voice, Come on dig me now one
and on it. Steve Harvey got a radio show. Okay.
I want to share something with you that I had
to come to the realization one time, and even in
the reinvention of myself right now, I've had to come

(00:23):
to that and I want to share it with you today.
Give it to you. I want to tell you about
something that a lot of people do in their life,
and I want you to be aware of it. Here
it is, don't get stuck on yourself. You could be wrong.
You know. I said, don't get stuck on yourself. You

(00:51):
could be wrong. You know. The reason I'm saying this
is because people have a tendency to once they make
a decision about something, or once they decide to go
a certain path, they go against all everything, anything anybody says,

(01:13):
anything anybody might do, any other ruling they may come across.
They shun advice, they don't listen to counsel. They just
I made the decision. I'm gonna do it anyway. Don't

(01:34):
get stuck on yourself. You could be wrong, you know.
Now here's a sure fire way to tell if you're wrong.
If you don't see any movement in the direction you've chosen,
if you don't see anything going right in that decision,

(02:00):
if you feel as though you're interrupt if the wall
you're climbing seems so insurmountable that you ain't even moving
an inch, and every time you turn around you keep
getting knocked by down, knocked back down. Don't get stuck
on yourself. You know you could be wrong. You know. See,

(02:22):
that's why it's important for people to always be open
to the reinvention of yourself. You know, you cannot be
afraid to reinvent yourself. In other words, you can't be
afraid to change. Change is necessary when it comes to growth.

(02:44):
There is no growth without change. The more you know,
the older you look, that is no growth without change.
If you're heading in a direction, it ain't nothing going
right in your life. Could it be the wrong direction?
If you're climbing and you're making no headway, could it

(03:05):
be the wrong direction? Could you have possibly made the
wrong choice. Don't get stuck on yourself because you didn't
made the wrong self. It's okay to forgive yourself. It's
okay to let yourself off the hook. It's even smarter
sometimes to admit that you were wrong. You ever met
somebody ain't ever wrong. Have you ever met somebody you

(03:27):
talk to? They ain't ever wrong about nothing. Man, They
just it's they way or the highway. It's this is
my way, this is the I know people like that,
stuck on them powered trips and all like that. You
know what I had to learn how to do. I
had to learn how to let them go on them
power trips. But listen to this. Though you're not taking
me on that trip. Though you're going on that trip

(03:47):
by yourself, I'm going in the right direction. I've decided
to stop the way. Okay, listen to this person. This person.
I decided to stop doing business the way I was
doing business. I decided to stop to allow business being
done around me the way business was being done around me.

(04:09):
You know what, you know, the best decision I made
was to allow for God to have some say so
and to offer me his direction. I have found him
to be a better driver than anyone else I know.
I have found him to know more about the man

(04:30):
he made than anybody else who's merely associating with me.
I have found it to be a fact that my
maker knows more about the vehicle he created than does
anybody else. If you if your Chevy break don't you
take it to Chevy. You don't take your Forward when

(04:50):
it break down to a Toyota dealership. They not gonna
know everything that the Forward dealership would know about the vehicle.
You know why because they're not the maker of it.
So now why are you living? You're letting your life
being led, controlled and guided by somebody other than your maker.
I'm just asking you to let's all take a common

(05:14):
sense look at this. So if going to your maker's
the best way, the best decision I made in my
business was take over my brand myself and to allow
the maker of this brand see without God, I'm none
of this. I'm none of this. I want you to
clearly understand I ain't none of this without him. I

(05:34):
wish I could have the guts to reach back there
and pat myself on the back for what I've accomplished
in my life. I wish I had the guts. I
wish the nerve of me because I know for or
fact that there is no way that I could have
manufactured the life that I have. I could not even
have thought of it. It's no way I could have

(05:57):
told you that this was the route I was gonna
take and this the outcome because of it. I had
no idea, no clue. The one thing I had, though,
was an unshakable faith in God. I had an I
just kept believing in him. I kept believing that he
had something more for me. And then when I touched

(06:20):
base with him and asked him to show me what
it is what he had for me, tada, the magic
show began. Because you know what he did. He took
all my natural abilities that he had given to me,
This gift that he gave me, that he poured into
me at birth, that same gift that he poured into
you at birth. The moment you go to him and

(06:41):
let him show you that gift, and then guess what.
Once he takes what he naturally put in you and
put his super his superpowers on top of that, then
you have some supernatural things going on in your life,
and you may not be feeling me. I'm cool with that,
but I didn't have some supernatural things happen to me.

(07:04):
Every day I wake up some supernatural the man, the
rewards of my life, the awards of my life, the accomplishments,
the how I'm working, the how I manage it all,
all that ain't none but God. That ain't nothing but God.
You can't even explain this schedule to people. Sometimes when
people ask me, Steve, how do you do it? I go, well,

(07:25):
it's what I manage my time. Then at the end
of when I get through, I say, hey, man, you
know what I need to tell y'all for real, it's God.
I don't really know, but I'm letting him manage me.
So he handling it. He ain't gonna put no more
of me than I can bear. Listen to me, y'all,
don't be afraid to reinvent yourself and remember this. Don't
get stuck on yourself because you could be wrong. You know,

(07:47):
you absolutely could be wrong. If you don't tie this
to your gift, you will be struggling the rest of
your life.
