Speaker 1 (00:03):
Huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody. You're listening to
the voice, Come on, dign me now on it only
Steve Harvey got a radio show man. Instead of trying
to be about the business. To y'all, I'm I'm doing
all I can. But you know what's crazy in the
(00:23):
efforts that I make. I can do more. And my
father used to tell me something when I was growing up.
He says, son, when you've done your best, and you've
done all you can, sit still for a second and
just do a little bit more. Always remember that, he said,
(00:46):
when you've done the best you can and you can
done all you can think of, he say, sit still
for a minute and do some more. And you know
what I've discovered in my life, always have a little more.
I ain't ever just out out out completely. I can't
take another step. There ain't another breath in me. The
ain't another thought I can produce. I'm never completely out, man.
(01:11):
Just take a rest for a minute, man, and then
just do a little bit more. And I can't tell
you how many times that's helped me get over the top.
You know, I was watching a documentary about people climbing
on Mount Everest and how difficult climbing Mount Everest was,
and how they have on the hill something called like
(01:34):
a death zone or a killing zone where the majority
of people run out of oxygen and they have to
turn back. Well, what's crazy is it's right in view
of the summit. You can actually see the top of
Mount Everest from there, but it's that little bit that's
left that's just most difficult. Now, I forgot all the
(01:56):
reasons why they said most people don't make it from there,
or people have lost their lives in that area. I
don't know what it is. But the people that make
it to the top of Mount Efforts, they all had
to go through that same zone of that same area,
but they had a little bit more that allowed them
(02:17):
to get to the top. You know, a lot of
people have had accidents up there trying that. So I'm
not even really sure if Mount Everest analogy is a
good one. But let's just break it down a little
bit more. Let's just talk about life. There's a poem
I learned back when I was pledging. It's called don't Quit.
(02:38):
It goes like this, if I make a mistake, I'm
just trying to drum it up. So here we go,
it says when things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
when the road you're trudging seems all uphill, when your
funds are low and your debts are high, when you
want to smile but you have to sidhe when cares
are pressing you down. Bit rest if you must, but
(03:03):
don't quit. For life is queer with his twist and turns,
as every one of us must sometimes learn. And many
a fellow has turned about when he might have won
had he stuck it out. So don't give up. Though
the pace seems slow. You may succeed with another blow.
(03:23):
Often the gold is nearer than it seems to a
faint and a faltering man. And often the struggler has
given up when he might have captured the victor's cup,
and he learns too late, when the night came down
how close he was to the golden crown. Success is
(03:45):
failure turned inside out. It's your silver tin, of your
clouds of doubt, and you never can tell how close
you are. It may be neil when it seems afar
to the fight, when your hardest hit. It's when things
seem worse that you mustn't quit. I remember it because
(04:09):
I had a special method of helping you remember stuff
back then. But I remembered it, and that poem right
there has kept me. You know, we often talk about
scripture and everything, and I don't see how I could
live without it. But every now and then, man, somebody
has a writing. God puts a writing on somebody's heart
that delivers a message, man, that can help people. I
(04:30):
use every motivational tool that I possibly can to climb
this letter of success or try to be the best
father and the best husband I can be. I've done
a lot of changing over the years, and so have you.
But change is necessary in order to grow. If you
don't make changes, folks, you can't grow. I was a
young man on my set. I kept looking at him,
(04:52):
and a sharp little young dude just on my set,
and he had these dreads and I mean they would
They was super long, man, They were well below the
middle of his back. I mean it was just long.
And he kept talking to me, and he kept talking
to me and talking to me. So young man kept
talking to me, and I said, hey, man, you know,
(05:13):
you do your a huge self a favor in the
business you're in. If you got a haircut, you would
do yourself a huge favor. I said, your image is everything. Man,
I said, you keep stopping me in the hallway to
try to tell me what you're doing, what you are,
but all I see is your hair. Now I keep
trying to figure out what you're doing with all that hair. Man,
Now you can feel how you want to feel. But
(05:33):
I'm like an employer. I employed people. So when I'm
walking through the hallway and I try to think of
you traveling with me and you sitting in a meeting
with me, I try to imagine you and your suit
sitting there talking business with me. And so, just like
other employers are, I'm just having a real story with you.
So I said, man, you ought to consider cutting your hair.
(05:55):
He said, Man, mister Hawve, I've been growing his hair
sound as a little boy. I said, hold you now
he said twenty eight. I said, well, how long you
want to hang on to what you was when you
was a little boy? You know, if you started growing
your hair when you're a teenager, I mean you twenty
eight now. And I said, so, let me help you
understand something. Let me let me ask you something. What
(06:15):
does it do for you? He said, Man, it's just
who I am. I said, so you your hair. He
said no, no, but it's a part of me. I
say that part of you that you're hanging on to.
What does it do for you? I just like it? Well, dog,
I like ice cream, but I feed that. But if
(06:36):
I hang on ice cream and eat ice cream every
single day, my body gonna reflect that. What is it
that you hanging on to that you don't want to
let go of? That's prohibiting you from being what all
you can be? See, it's hard to be what all
you can be if you want to keep being all
you was? Don't that make sense to you? So I
(06:57):
can't tell you how many times I've had to change.
Change is necessary to grow. You can't be all you
can be if you want to keep hanging on to
all you was. That don't make no sense. How do
you go forward? If you keep going backwards? You can't
(07:18):
stay here and go there? Do you understand that if
you want to go over there, you must remove yourself
from right here? Oh? I got right here is comfortable,
I got right here is safe. But over there is
where the shade is. Over There's where the fruit is.
Over there is where the opportunity is. Over there is
(07:42):
where the Mountain of goal is so, why you stuck
on here? You got to leave here to go over there.
You can't be all you can be if you want
to stay stuck on who you was. Change is growth
is necessary. All. Let's go. You're listening into the Steve
Harvey Morning Show.
