Speaker 3 (00:24):
Listening to show to don't joy joy.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
You know you love you got turn, got to turn
(01:41):
the mouth turn you probably got to turn the mouth out,
turn a wad of the mony job loo.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Come come on you think, uh huh, I sure will.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Good morning everybody. You are listening to the voice.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Come on now, dig want and only Steve Harvey got
what radio show man? What you're doing with it? Trying
to do the very very best I can with it?
I really am. You know I get tired sometimes on
my journey. I'm not gonna kid you. Trying to make
(02:28):
something about yourself is a task. If you want to
attempt to do something and and and understand going in
that that If the thing you're trying to do is
to improve yourself, to better your position, to better your relationship,
(02:49):
your family, anything, you're trying to be a better you.
You're trying to make more money, you're trying to get
it together, you're trying to change if any of those
things are in your hopes and dreams, know this right
here you are about to face some challenges. But you
(03:12):
might as well go ahead anyway and face those challenges,
because if you don't, you have a whole other.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Set of challenges to face. You know.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
It's it's an amazing thing, man, how people sit around
and they watch other people strike out to become successful.
They sit in the stands watching these people play out
these games, and they and they and they criticize, They boo,
they laugh at their efforts and everything, and they talk
about the failse he missed that game when he shop boy,
(03:44):
he sunk man, he did this. He ain't worth that.
I hear people who sit in stands who criticize people
who are out there on the playing field. Now, when
you're on the plan, you have a set of challenges
in front of you. You're going to be open to criticism.
(04:06):
You're going to be open to ridicule. You're going to
be talked about when you don't know the people who
are talking about you. Now, here's the upside to being
the player on the field that's facing all the challenges,
to criticisms, the laughing, the joke, to being talked about.
(04:30):
He has something going for him. This person, boy, woman, child, girl,
man has an opportunity to win. They have an opportunity
to win. And in the game of life, just because
you lose one of the games, or you lose one
(04:52):
of the matches, it don't mean you've lost. You don't
get put out. You keep playing. And when and you're playing,
here's the upside. You have the opportunity to win. But
guess what, You're gonna win some of the matches. You're
gonna win some of the points. You're gonna make some
of the dunks. You're gonna hit some of them over
the wall. You're gonna hit some out the park. You're
(05:14):
gonna score some goals. You will if you're playing the game.
Here's the problem with the people who don't face criticism,
who nobody boos or cheers for, who sits in the
stands and knows neither victory nor defeat. Those people, without
(05:38):
realizing it, are facing a set of challenges also. And
the challenges they're facing is how I'm gonna live with myself?
What I'm gonna do? Now, what direction am I going in?
Where am I gonna live? Wonder what y'all will hire me?
(06:05):
Wonder if I can get paid for criticize?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Ah, woe is me.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I can't find the purpose in my life. And man,
I'm just waking up in a state of confusion. I
don't know what to do. Now, let me ask you something,
which one of them set the challenges you'd rather be
faced with? Because if I'm on the flow playing, if
I'm on the field playing, if I'm out on the
court playing, then guess what I got a chance at winning?
(06:37):
But guess what I'm doing every day while I'm playing.
I'm strategizing. I'm waking up with a purpose. I'm waking
up trying to come up with another angle. I'm in
pursuit of a goal every single day. Versus the people
in the stands who know neither victory nor defeat.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Get in the game, face the challenges.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Better yourself, better your wife, better your children, better your condition,
better your employment status, better your job, better your career.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Take a shot. Come on, man, what you waiting on?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Because the alternative is to watch other people play the game?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
You know what I just do? Sometimes Sometimes I just I.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Get Forbes magazine or Money magazine, or sometimes I still
grab a copy of the rob Report. I just flip
through it just to see. I used to get this
book called Unique Homes. Unique Homes is a magazine that
just has a lot of extravagant houses that's on sale
across the country, across the world.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I used to flip through.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Man, let me just see, man, what the people that's
playing the game out there doing. Stop watching other people
become successful when you could very easily be you.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You make the decision.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
But when you make the decision to become successful, get
ready for a series of challenges. I think it's more
difficult not to accept the challenge.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I think it's for me. This is just for me.
It may not be the case for you.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
For me, I think it's far more difficult to wake
up and just see how life gonna go today, because man,
it could just deal you any kind of hand today.
You understand I don't like you know, spades. Let's talk
a card game for tim, the game of spades. Really, man,
it ain't a whole lot you can do if you
don't get no spades. Really, it's a little couple of
(08:39):
little strategies you're gonna do. But you can have all
this age, king, queen, diamond all you want. But man,
you ain't got no spades. They cutting them. You're in
trouble be it with different game. You can create what's
in your hand. You got dealt a hand too, But
you can create a hand. You can call a trump.
You can make diamonds your spades. You can make hard
(09:01):
to clubs your spades. That's what I'm saying. What you
can do something with it. It's a different game, man.
You can strategize. I would rather have a say so
in my life than to wake up every day and
just see how it's going. I think it's more difficult
to not accept the challenge to be something than it
is to accept the challenge to be something. I think
it's more difficult to sit around and not be nothing.
(09:24):
I think it's harder to watch everybody life going somewhere
but mine. I think it would be very difficult for
me to sit here and hear them talking about other
people that never mentioned my name. That would be difficult
for me. To see everybody rise and getting promotions accept me,
that would be difficult for me. It may not be
for you, but for me it would be quite challenging.
(09:44):
I would rather accept the challenge of making something out
of my life than to sit there and criticize those
and then watch and see how my life just may
go okay, just a thought.
