Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, I sure will.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning everybody you are listening to the voice, Come on,
dig me now.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
If y'all only knew, I think I'll tell it 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.
(00:37):
You've got to keep pressing forward.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Now.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Could I have played the role of where is my car?
Where is my car?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Where is my car? Instead of hustling and grab a cab?
So what am I? Am I above a cab ride now?
Or do I have to look at the bigger picture
and say, okay, I could act like a little spoil
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
(01:08):
make the adjustments because ain't like I ain't been in
a cab before?
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Now? Slow down?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Ain't like I ain't never been in a in a
beat up car before? Slow down? Ain't ever, like I
ain't never had a car and rode a bus before.
Slow down, Ain't like I ain't never been homeless before,
and they have nowhere to go. Slow down. So in
those moments right there, always remember where you come from,
but even more importantly, always remember where you trying to go,
(01:36):
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. 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 that's
(01:57):
going to happen along your way to being successful. And
if you a lot of 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
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.
(02:20):
N I act 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.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
In the morning. I've heard it from people.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
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 about my
day and maybe you can relate it to something you
(02:55):
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 determining factor on
(03:17):
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, then let's talk
(03:39):
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?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Oh? Woe is me?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I guess it wasn't meant to be. Well. If the
Lord wanted me to have this, I'd have that.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
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,
(04:17):
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 (04:30):
Why that's got to be you.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
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.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
So now what you do with it?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Now you twist it and you go to that one
little scripture that say, well, the poor shall always be
amongst us. Well, that's put in there 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 (05:08):
That's just in case you have not because you ask.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Now, it's just in case you don't believe, and shall
not doubt he got all that in that. But in
case you don't want 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,
(05:32):
really really that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I just don't believe that about him. I don't believe
that God created your life. To be 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.
(05:56):
I've heard Nelson Mandela speak, and you know you gotta go.
While all those years in prison, man, what was it about.
When you hear him speak, you understand what it was about.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
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 there and got involved in
prison activities that wasn't up to Paw and things like that.
(06:33):
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 it outside a little bit,
and it kept a sense of time for them, and
it reminded men to talk about what they left behind,
and it kept them going because something was greater on
(06:57):
the other side. Had he allowed that to start. 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, a great force. People want to go around him.
Even people that imprisoned him could not understand his staunch strength,
(07:19):
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 (07:28):
So keep pushing, y'all.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
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 (07:39):
I made it. Now. Guess what that gives me?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Another piece of information that I have and all I
had to see it again today?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Guess what I said today?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Man, sometime when it looked like you ain't gonna make it,
just go ahead on anywhere.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I could still be back there at the hotel talking
about where my car, but I got up in here
and made it.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
So now what y'all gonna do with it? Let's go
