Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come come on you.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody you are
listening to the voice, Come on dig me now.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
One and only Deep Harvey got a radio show. Man.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
If y'all only knew, I think I'll tell you to
you this morning. Man started off real crazy. But it's
just those little mishaps where we as people who are
striving to be successful, that makes all the difference in
the world. When you have those little minor things that
come up, you can't let the minor things stop you.
(00:41):
You've got to keep pressing forward.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Now. Could I have played the role of where is
my car? Where is my car?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Oh? Where is my car? Instead of hustling and grab
a cab?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
So what am I? Am I above a cab ride now?
Or do I have to look at.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
The bigger picture and say, okay, I could act like
a little spoiled brat some type of star and go
I don't ride in cabs or where's my car? And
then go to blaming people for not having a car.
Or do I make the adjustments because I ain't like
I ain't been in the cab before? Now, slow down,
ain't like I ain't never been in a beat up
car before? Slow down. Ain't ever like I ain't never
(01:21):
had a car and rode a bus before. Slow down,
ain't like I ain't never been homeless before, and ain't
have nowhere to go?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Slow down.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
So in those moments right there, always remember where you
come from, but even more importantly, always remember where you
trying to go, because it's important for me that I
get here as many mornings as I possibly can. It's
important because that's the goal. And so many people allow
a minor things to stop them on their road to success.
(01:51):
And I'm giving you this example today not to say, hey,
look at me, but to say to you, hey, listen
to me. There are going to be a lot of
things say's going to happen along your way to being successful,
and if you allow the small things to stop you,
there's no way you'll make it. You've got to always
press forward and stop looking at the situation for what
it is, and look, sometimes you have to take your
(02:12):
eye off right now and put your eye in the future.
You know, God has blessed me in so many ways.
I mean, what can I say? You know, I ask
God for this syndicated show. He gives me a syndicated show.
Niact like I don't want to come to it. Hold on, man,
slow down. Did not you ask for this? Do I
not realize that there are certain people, man, who look
forward to this message in the morning. I've heard it
(02:35):
from people, so from the hundreds that I've heard it for,
that could represent thousands for all I know. So if
I think somebody's counting on me, I got to try
to get there and give something. So today I didn't
have any time at all to think about what I
might say. I just walk right in and the jingle
was playing, and so I decided to just tell you
(02:55):
about my day and maybe you can relate it to
something you going through along the way, Because no matter
who you are, you're going to have some moments man,
where things are going to happen. And like I always
tell my kids, and I just had this conversation with
my little girl, it ain't that things ain't gonna happen.
It's how you handle what happens that matters. But it
don't matter. It's how you handle what happens that's the
(03:19):
determining factor on where you get in life and how
soon you get there and how long you stay there.
That will always be a mishap something that's gonna throw
you off. There will always be something man that could
deter you. That will be something somewhere man that will
make you doubt it. Now that you know that's gonna happen,
(03:41):
then let's talk about how you handle what happens, because
it's going to happen. So now, what do you do
as a person when these moments come about in your life?
How do you handle? Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Woe is me? Oh, I guess it wasn't meant to be. Well.
If the Lord wanted me to have this, I'd have that.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
How many damn many times you hear people say that,
You know, man, it really irks me. Man, stop using
God as your excuse. God ain't no excuse. God is
a reason. He's a reason why the good happens. He's
a reason. He's not an excuse. God don't have no excuses,
(04:20):
and none of his scriptures or writings not that I
he just don't make excuses. I would have done this.
But you know, there's a scripture that says the poor
will all shall always be amongst us.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Why that's got to be you.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, he said the poor will always be amongst us,
Because you know everybody ain't gonna follow the principles of success.
But he also said he came to give you life
and give it to you more abundantly. He said that too,
But oh no, you don't want to hear that because
your life kind of trip it out a little bit.
So now what you do with it? Now you twist
it and you go to that one little scripture that say, well,
(04:56):
the poor shall always be amongst us. Well, that's put
in the because that suggests in case. See, that's a
just in case y'all don't want to follow the scriptures.
That's just in case you don't understand that faith without
works is dead.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
That's just in case you have not because you ask.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Now, it's just in case you don't believe and shall
not doubt he got all that in there.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
But in case you don't want.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
To do that, there is a scripture that tells you
what will happen if you don't do it, And here
it is the poor shall always be amongst us. But
then you get that when they say, well, that's I
guess that's the Lord's will, Lord's will really, really, really
really that's amazing. I just don't believe that about him.
I don't believe that God created your life to be
(05:44):
a life of misery. I think that we make decisions
along the way that cause us to have lives of misery.
But I really, really just don't believe that God created
you for that. I've heard Nelson Mandela speak, and you
know you gotta go. While all those years in prison, Man,
(06:07):
what was it about? When you hear him speak, you
understand what it was about. He said, he always knew
he would be free one day. Now, what he said
he never knew was he said, he never knew that
he would be the president of that country. Oh my goodness,
what a long way around. But he could have set
(06:29):
there and got involved in prison activities that wasn't up
to Paw and things like that. And they said whenever
young inmates used to come in. He was telling the
story one time of how young inmates used to come
into the prison. They all sit around and talk to
him about what they were doing and how many kids
they had in their lives, and it helped them keep
track of the outside a little bit, and it kept
(06:51):
a sense of time for them, and it reminded me
to talk about what they left behind, and it kept
them going because something was great on the other side.
Had he allowed that to stop him, had he allowed
the imprisonment, which is a pretty major deal. Oh by
the way, then guess what he would have never been
the Nelson Mandela that we know today, a martyr, a leader,
(07:14):
a great force. People want to go around him. Even
people that imprisoned him could not understand his staunch strength,
his faith, his unwavering commitment. They couldn't understand it. So
things are going to happen in your life, but it's
how you handle what happens doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
So keep pushing, y'all.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Don't let the little things get in the way, Okay,
And if you just sometimes you just don't know. I
got in a cab thinking I wasn't gonna make it,
but at least let's go see, let's try.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I made it. Now. Guess what that gives me?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Another piece of information that I have and all I
had to see it again today?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Guess what I said today?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Man, sometime when it looked like you aren't gonna make it,
just go ahead on anywhere.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I could still be back there at the hotel talking
about where my car, but I got up in here
made it.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
So now what y'all gonna do? With it, let's go.
You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
