Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, uh huh, I sure will.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Man.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
What an amazing blessing. God has given me, my health,
my dreams, all of it. God gave it to me.
I accept it. I work hard, but man, oh man,
oh man, I work hard. It's something that He gave
me a gift. And that's what I want to talk
to you about today. Because God has gifted everyone, so
(00:39):
I can't help but believe it. You are gifted in
some way. Something about you is specially and unique. That
doesn't mean you're the only one that can sing? Are
you the only one that can write? Are you the
only one that can draw? You the only one that
can decorate? Are you the only one that can network?
Or you're the only one that does not what it means?
(00:59):
Or you have a great scientific mind, or you can
figure things out, or you're good at problem solving. You're
not the only one, but you are a unique individual.
Nobody will travel the exact path that you're on. Nobody
will have everything happen in a series of circumstances in
the order that you're going to have it happen to you.
That's what I mean when I say that you are unique.
(01:21):
But now because you are gifted, you know you have
something you have to do. You know, there's a scripture.
It's in Proverbs, Proverbs eighteen and sixteen. I've been trying
to be a little bit better at that for you, you know.
So when I have an idea and I know where
it is, I have somebody look the scripture up from
men handed to me. So it's in Proverbs eighteen sixteen.
(01:43):
And this is the layman's term of it. It says
a man's gift make room for him and brings him
before great men. It is your gift that will make
room for you. Now my interpretation of this is this.
Now I could be wrong. Please go to your local church,
senter God, temple, mosque, whatever you do, and go get clarification.
(02:04):
But what my gift has done in making room for
me is I've taken it almost in the literal sense.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
My gift has actually made room for me. It has clear.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Paths for me. My gift has opened up doors for me.
That's what I take it as. It'll make room for you.
My gift has has broadened my ability to travel. My
gift has opened my eyes to fashion. My gift has
caused me to be able to provide for my family.
(02:34):
My gift has caused me to be able to reach
more people. That's what I'm saying in terms of it
will make room for you. That that may be another interpretation.
I'm just telling you how I took it, that it
has worked out pretty good for me to that understanding.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
But I'm pretty sure Bishop Jakes, Joel old Stein.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Ken if Ohm you know God, Glenn Staples, Bishop Glenn's Table,
these guys give you much better understanding of it.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I'm just giving it to you, you know way I
know how sold.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I don't know. I just like to keep it right there.
But and then it says that it brings you before
great men. I mean, you know it's gonna take your places.
It's gonna take your places you never thought of going.
You're gonna meet people because of your gift. I told
my son, who two of them are good photographers. You'll
be taking pictures of great men. And then I mess
(03:23):
with him. You already take the pictures, say your daddy.
You know I'm messing with them like that. But that's
just me and them just kicking it. But you know,
but one day, who knows, you could be shooting the president.
You know, you could be shooting some foreign dignitaries. You know,
you could be shooting great sport events. You know, you
never know where it could take you. But that's your gift.
What you gotta do is you got to get to
move and though. See, you can't have your gift and
(03:44):
not do nothing with it.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
See. You know what that reminds me of.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
It's something that my father used to say, get up
off your butt, because you're sitting on a gold mine.
He say that all the time, Boy, get up off
your butt, and because you sitting on a gold mine.
I never really quite got that when I was little,
but now that I'm an adult, I got it full well. See,
a lot of you are sitting. You're sitting on a
(04:09):
talent or a gift that you have. You're sitting on
an ability. I don't care if it's making cakes or pies.
That's a gift, man, that's a talent. I don't care
if it's the ability to do hell, that's a gift man.
Half of you are gifted. A lot of us are gifted,
and we're sitting on it, looking at other people wondering
what can I do to make it? You already got
(04:31):
something to make it with, if you would just get
up off your behind, man, quit sitting on that gold mine.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Some of you are tech savvy, just a whiz is.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
When it comes to engineering and putting stuff together and
cables and wires and computers and stuff. And now you
steady looking around trying to figure out, Man, wonder what
I can go do?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
How about you go do that? You know it ain't
that hard, man, if you were.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Just take note of what God has given you already.
He has given you a gift already. He has already
given you a talent. Now the fact that you ain't
using it and you sitting on your tail somewhere now.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Who fathers what we're talking about? What you blaming God
for that?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Man?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I tell you what. I sit around people all the time.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Who are gifted, and I'm looking at their gifts, and
they steady complaining about what they don't have, but will
not get up off there behind and use the gifts
that God gave them.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
And it's frustrating.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
It's gotta be frustrating for you if you're doing it,
because it's frustrating for.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Me when I see it.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
So when these people come to me and ask me
for help, I just keep going the same thing over
and over.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Help yourself, man, do for you, use your gift.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
It's a cat sitting behind the wall right now that's
locked up. That's so good at artistry. It's cats in
that tattooing everybody. Man, get out, do it the right way.
Quit selling drugs. Man, You ain't going nowhere selling no drugs.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
You going to jail.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
And if that don't do it, somebody gonna get tired
of you selling drugs cause they're gonn wanna sell them
over and they gonna kill you.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Let's just keep this thing real for just a second here.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Come on, man, get up off your butt, because you
sitting on the gold mine, and you sit up here.
Somebody always looking for a shortcut to the top. Ain't
no shortcut. Somebody told me this the other day.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Man. The road to success is always under construction.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
It ain't paved, it's got detour signs on it. It's
got slow men working. Sometime they flip the stop sign.
You gotta sit there and wait. Sometime they got slow.
There's traffic, there's accidents, somebody on the road holding up things.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
With a flat tie, its nails, it gravels. This spike
is everything.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
The road to success is always under construction. It ain't
getting ready to be easy just because you done decided
to do it. But don't sit around on your behind
and complain all the time about what you don't have.
My daddy said it, Man, get up off your butt
because you sitting on the gold mine. You got a gift,
you got a talent, you got something that you can
(07:10):
do that could make a way for you, but you
won't do it. It is within you. Stop looking around.
Here's what people waste the most time on the road
to success looking around at somebody else, trying to figure out, Man,
how can I do what they did?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Do what you do? You ain't jay Z, You ain't sorry.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I got a couple of your homies told you you
rap better than him, But you not, jay Z, really
you not. You know, all of us can shot at him,
but we ain't rich at Prior A nice shot Steve,
Bernie DL, all of we took some great shots at it.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
We not him. Do what you can do? Do you
do your gift quick?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Complaining about what you don't have get up off your
butt because you sitting on a gold mine.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
