Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody, y'all
listen to the voice. Come on, dig me now. One
and only Steve Harvey got a radio show.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Man o man o man. Grateful for it. Come through
a huge amount of responsibility. I didn't really know I
was gonna have to be this responsible.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
You know, Can I share something with y'all?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I started out to Finally I had gotten on track
and was able to see a way to even pursue
my dream. It has been a long, a long trip
that I've been on, and I've gone through so many
phases of it. It is rewarding along the way to
(00:46):
accomplish your dreams. What I'm saying is this, let me,
let me put it together, because I got so much
running through my head right now. You know, it's one
thing to accomplish your dreams, but there's joy in the
process of achieving it. See, some people are so caught
up in the goal, the final goal, that they find
(01:09):
no joy, no enjoyment in the process. If you have
found what it is you want to do and you
strike out on that journey, please understand you are far
more blessed than the average person to know what it
is you really want to do, to find your work
(01:33):
in life, your purpose, to find out what direction you
want to go in is such a blessing. The average person,
if you sit down and talk to them, oftentimes don't
have their life on track. And it'd be some people
that you looking at you think God it going on
because of their appearance, their swagger.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Oh they walk like it, they talk like it, they
look like it.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
But if you sit down and talk to the appas person,
the average person man does not know what their purpose is,
has not discovered what they want to do, and have
no idea how to get that. If you are on
the other side of that, if you understand your purpose,
if you have an idea of what you want to be,
(02:19):
and you are.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
On your way there, you are truly blessed.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
And in that blessing you must recognize it as a blessing.
You must recognize the fact that you are on the
right side and that there should be a sense of
accomplishment and a feeling of pride in you that you
are on track to accomplish your goal. See what used
(02:44):
to happen was sometimes I used to keep my nose
so on the grindstone that I wouldn't even look.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Up and realize.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Man, hey, man, I know you're trying to get here,
but Steve, hold on, Man, can't you see what you've
done so far? Can't you find just some joy in
the process. See, a lot of us lose the joy
of a blessings God has given us because we looking
at the end talking about I ain't there yet, you
on your way. I'm gonna give you an example. I
(03:15):
had a friend who told me that they wanted to
be a millionaire. And they asked me some questions and
I told them, so they started the process. And I
am telling you, this dude works extremely hard. So about
a year later we were talking. He had found this business,
(03:38):
he had set his goal, and he was working towards it.
Then about two years later I ran up into him again.
We were talking about it and everything. He said, Man,
I really really appreciate the advice. He said, Man, but
is all jacked up, man, because I still ain't made
that million I was talking about. I said, well, hey, man,
(04:00):
just keep at it is coming. He said, Man, keep
at it.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Man.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
You know how long I've been doing this been two
years now. And I didn't say that to him, but
I said to myself yeah, two years, he said. Man,
I've been grinding so long. Man, it's just it ain't
happening for me. I said, wait a minute, man, holld on,
hold on. I said, about how much you making right
now a year? Man? About two hundred and fifty thousand.
(04:26):
I quit breathing. I said, well, my man, two years
ago you didn't have a clue. Two years later, you
making a quarter of a million dollars. I said, man,
do you understand how blessed you are? I said, man,
your family was about to get put out two years ago.
(04:48):
You done bought a house.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah. Man, but this ain't the house. I really won't Oh,
oh Pardner, whoa I got that? I got that? The house?
You really won't make Mike call fied eight million. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
But man, y'all got a house, you making a payment,
you drive it. You ain't out no more? I said,
old man, you got to stop. I said, you got
to stop. I said, man, because right now, man, you
you coming across. That's real ungrateful to me.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
And so he said, man, why are you tripping like that? Man? Man,
you act like don't nobody want to have nothing but you?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I said, whoa man? Where are you going with this conversation?
I said, Oh, I didn't come to you. I just
came to you and asked you how you doing. And
I'm trying to point out to you that the journey
that you started on, that you are on your way,
and you are in the process of accomplishing your goals.
And can you not feel some joy and some pleasure
in your accomplishment. Quit tripping on the fact that you
(05:39):
ain't made a million yet. You on your way. You
done went from He thought this dude was making fifteen
thousand dollars a year. You making quarter of a million
dollars in two years. Man, Come on, man, can't you
see can't you see? So?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
He said? Eventually, ah, man, I kind of see what
you saying.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
But that ain't about nothing to me because I ran
up into him a year year and a half later.
How you doing, man, man, I show wish I'd appreciated
my life when I had it like that, I said,
what you mean, had it like that?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Man?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Just fell on some hard times. Man, right back where
I was, And then we talked. I said, hey, man,
don't worry about it. I said, Once you know how
to accomplish something, I said, you just reapply the same
principles and start on over again. Man, you know how
hard it is to be to start over. Okay, my man,
Hold up, pardoner, you've been do yourself like this again.
First you wasn't grateful for what you had. Now you're
(06:33):
looking at the fact that you might have to start over,
and you know how hard it is to start over.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Maybe God said, Okay, you ain't happy with this. Okay,
didn't handle it your way.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
You obviously ain't happy with the way I'm bringing it
into your life. You want to handle it your way.
Go ahead and handle it because he will let you
have it your way. Can I tell you that he
will let you do it exactly the way you want
to it, because he gives us all the power choice.
So then maybe he said, Okay, you don't appreciate the
way I'm doing it. You don't like the favor I'm
showing you. You think it's taken too long. I'm gonna
(07:05):
let you do it your way. I'm not gonna turn
my back on you. I'm just gonna let you do
it your way.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Just just say.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Maybe he said that, and now he right back where
it was. So what I tried to get the young
cat to understand was man, appreciate your life for what
it is, because like life. Jennings got that song that
he got out off this album. Still, I still believe
it could have been worse, and now that it is worse.
What's on your mind now, folks? If you are on
(07:34):
that side of life where you have figured out what
you want to do, you know how you're gonna get that,
and you know your purpose. You're accomplishing what the majority
of people never ever do. So be grateful for your process.
Don't tumble yourself, don't throw yourself off the cliff. It's
gonna be all right. Success takes a measure of time.
It is not easy. If success were easy, everybody would
(07:57):
be successful.
