Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, here we are on this Tuesday, our last
break of the day.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Yeah. Hey, in closed remarks today, I want to do
something for people. I want to remind you of one
simple thing. Don't ever ever give up. Don't ever ever
give up. I cannot tell you how many times I

(00:30):
have seen people turn back. I have seen people throwing
the tie right before the blessing came. I can't tell
you how many people that I know decided to just
stop and made the decision that it's too hard. I

(00:51):
can't tell you how many people I know who lived
their life in utter regret. I was talking with a
group of people that I know, and I'm saying, Man, Harve,
I wish I had did what you did. Man, just
went on and followed my dreams. But you know, man,
it was taking so long. It got so hard, man,
and I just I just I just gave up. And

(01:16):
as we were talking, you know, I try not to
be belittling when I'm talking to people, because I try
to show have empathy for people when they're talking. But
I said, but man, but bruh, how's that working for you? Though?
He said, Man, I just regret it, and I don't
want people out there who are listening to me to
live a life of regret, because I'm telling you, man,

(01:42):
the cost of success is high, but the bill for regret,
oh my goodness, that thing keeps charging you over and
over and over and over again. When you when you
what you had to do is make the decision to

(02:02):
never give up. Now. Look, it don't mean you can't
stop and rest. It don't mean that you ain't gonna
have no bad days. It don't mean that you ain't
gonna think about it. It don't mean that it's gonna
appear so easy to just stop right now. If I

(02:22):
stop the pursuit of my dreams and aspirations right now,
I won't have to show up here tomorrow. I won't
have to do that. Nobody will expect this, y'all. All
that's true, and it sounds easy, and it is easy
to give up. It is because all you gotta do
is stop. But what happens when you give up is

(02:43):
that you in all possibilities of it ever happening. You
remove any chance of your dreams ever coming true. You
just remove them yourself. But listen to me, if you
don't give up, if when you stumble, you keep stumblings,

(03:04):
and when you fall, don't stay down, man, Just don't
give up. When you fall, crawl on your stomach army style.
If you fall, just get up to your knees, look
to the heavens and ask God for strip. If you
got to crawl part of the way, Just don't give up.

(03:29):
I don't care how it looks on your trip to success.
I don't care how froth with danger your journey is.
Just don't give up. Let me tell you man. You know,
and golf, they have a saying, ain't no pictures on
the scorecard. I was playing with Tommy one time. I

(03:50):
don't know if he remembers this, but Tommy hit a
shot and it hit a tree, and the ball bounced
off the tree and roll up on the green two
inches from the cup. Now, guess what. We had to
give him a birdie. But guess what, ain't no pictures
on the skull card. And that's how life works, man,

(04:12):
It ain't no picture. Nobody at the end goal show
me your picture. They just look at the results. But
you can only get the results if you keep playing,
if you keep waking up, if you keep putting one
foot in front of the other. It don't matter how
pretty it is, and I don't care how ugly it gets.
You can win ugly as long as you win. Just

(04:32):
don't give up. I don't care what you have to
do to keep your dream alive. Keep it alive, keep
pursuing it, keep believing, keep having hope, keep praying, keep pushing.
Do you know what push stands for? Push is an acronym.
Push actually means pray until something happens. I don't care
if you don't know what it is. You got to

(04:53):
keep pushing. Just keep praying it, keep praying until something happens.
There are so many ways not to give up. Just endure,
because I'm telling you, man, giving up is not the
answer for you. It might seem easy, but that easy
is so temporary because once you give up, life gonna
get real hard for you, because now you've got to

(05:14):
live your life in regret. I would have, should have,
could have. Man. I am not finna live no life
like that, and I don't want you to either. All
you got to do is just keep getting up and
keep having some form of faith. You don't need a
lot of faith. The Bible says the faith of a
mustard seed, the smallest of all seeds. You don't need

(05:38):
to have You don't need to have a big old
relationship with God. You need relationship with God. You don't
need to have a whole lot of faith. You need
to just have the small hope that you can make it.
You ever hear people say, keep hope alive, just hope, man.
I wish I could get you to understand that are

(05:58):
ways to hang on the beggar. You know, you know,
I'm to the point in my life where people say
hang in there, Steve. I look at him like, well,
what else I'm gonna do? Because quitting is just not
an option. I've removed quitting off the option. No matter
what happens, quitting is not an option. Make that your mantra,

(06:19):
and go on and watch God bless you, and keep pushing,
p USh pray until something happens. If that's all you got,
that's good enough. Have a great day, y'all. We'll see y'all.
To them all, Steve Harvey Moore on the Show.
