Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are our last break of
the day, and time now for some closing remarks from
the one and only Steve Harvey.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Well, you know, I don't really I've been thinking about
a lot of things, you know, and I was thinking
of just on a positive tip, you know, to just
kind of just always encourage people to stay with it.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
You know. Oftentimes, you know, when.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
You you know, when you have dreams and aspirations, all
of us, from time to.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Time they get sidelined.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
All of our dreams and aspiration takes a hit along
the way to attaining them, and there's always a detour
on the way. There's always some confusion, a set of
barrels set up. It's just really hard to see a
vision from start to finish scott free with no troubles.

(00:56):
So if you're in that position today and you're finding
yourself waning in your dreams and visions, it seems like
it's just not happening the way you want it. I
want you to understand it's not going to happen just
the way you want it. That is the way it works.
And I know that's not great news, but it's the truth.

(01:20):
Nobody gets where they want to be in life just
the way they want it. So if you're thinking that
you're gonna get their scott free, that you will just
have a smooth sailing, that's not the way it works.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Life isn't designed that way. So factor in.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
The fact that you are going to have troubles and
difficulties along the way. And if you stopped your visions
or dreams because of that reason, right there, the rule
is simple.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Here's the rule.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
You can start again today. You can just start again
today and guess what, You don't need anybody's permission.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
All you have to do is rewrite your dreams down
on your.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Vision board, reclaim victory, ask God for your help and
your strength, and get back to making your dreams and
visions come true for your life. You all listen to me.
Stop waking up just going about the day seeing how

(02:30):
it's going, without any projects, without any visions, without any aspirations,
without a plan to attain the things that you really
want in life. Stop waking up like that with nothing
to do. Make a plan at night, pray about it,

(02:50):
ask God for help. You know now, look when you rake,
when you make your plan, that's just the request you're
asking God to help you come true. No matter how
you get there is going to be difficult. It's going
to be difficult. But once you started, there is no
one who says you can. So y'all just get back

(03:13):
in the pocket, get back up on the horse, get
back to dreaming again, get back to wanting to hoping
to believe in again. Don't let the setbacks and the
troubles of life stop you, because I got news for you.
You're gonna always have them. You're going to always have them.

(03:34):
And like today, man, I just went back through my phone,
because what I do is when I see motivational phrases
or scriptures that really register with me, I take my
phone out and I take the picture of it. And
then I've created this album in my photo section called motivation,
and I file all those pictures in my motivational thing.

(03:55):
And when I find myself wavering, feeling a little uns
hurt and feeling a little shaky about decisions, I go
back to my motivational folder in my photos and I
just started reading the little quotes I got in there.
I just start going down the line. I've got some
stuff in there, man, that I've had in there for years. Man,

(04:17):
But I can still read from time to time, you know, like,
for example, I was today I read this one. It says,
I can't cry about having a lot on my plate
when my whole goal was to eat. I can't cry
about having a whole lot on my plate when my

(04:39):
whole goal was to eat. And man, I find myself
doing that talking about Lord, I'm over burden. Man, I'm tired.
You know, I got all this, I got all that. Hey, Steve,
did you hear yourself? You got all this, and you
got all that what you're tripping for? And I gathered myself,
you know, and then you know, you know, I have

(05:03):
a lot of stuff in there. Like one of them
I read today was, Oh my bad, I'm sorry for
bothering you.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
I forgot. I only exist.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
When you need me for something. That's God tell me,
oh my bad, I'm sorry for bothering you. I forgot.
I only exist when you need me for something. I
have all these little things, man, that always motivate me.
Here's another one. Winners are not people who never fail,

(05:32):
but people who never quit. Amen. Yeah, failure is a
failure is a part of the process.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
Here's another one. I have not failed.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
I've just found ten thousand ways that don't work Thomas Edison. Wow,
I have not failed. I just found ten thousand ways
that don't work. Do you See? Success isn't how far
you got, but the distance you travel from where you started.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
That's a proverb.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
And I just keep stuff like that, and you know,
all always, and last one I read this morning was
I want to inspire people. I want someone to look
at me and say, because of you, I didn't give up.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
That's always been important.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
So y'all stay motivated, stay the course, find a way
to self motivate yourself when you down, and get back.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
To dreaming and believe it.
