Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody
you are listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvey. HA got a radio show,
you know. Today, I was thinking of what I would
say today and it just dawned on me this way,
and I just want to share this with everybody listening.

(00:22):
You've got to get some help to make it through life.
I cannot imagine where I would be if it was
not for the help of my God, if it wasn't
for his grace and mercy, if I did not have
the ability to lean on him, and all the times
I've had to lean on Him, which has become a

(00:42):
daily basis. I have no idea where I would be,
but clearly I know for a matter of fact, I
would not be here today. You have got to get
some help to get through this thing called life. I
am begging you to look into it. Man, you've got
to form a relationship with God. Without a relationship with God,

(01:03):
this thing called life is daunting at times. I don't
care who you are. I know I'm speaking the truth
right now, because listen, no matter who you are, what
job title you have, what aspirations you may have, I
don't care what your educational background is or is not.
It does not matter if you don't get a real

(01:24):
relationship going on with God. I don't see how you
can make it. So many people are faking in fronting
out here like they got it going on, and you
don't know, and you really don't know how many people
that you think in your neighborhood had it going on
because you saw a car pull up in the driveway,
or they house look bigger, or the grass is cutting nicer,
and you only find out that a foreclosure side on

(01:47):
they house too. See, you don't know. The mask that
people put on to parade around in is for appearance sakes.
So a lot of people you looking at that you
think got it going on, who might be the past
had enough success that you want a trace. You got
to be real careful with that because it may not
be as it appears to be. But one thing is

(02:07):
for sure, no matter what's going on in your life,
I know that behind whatever mask I'm wearing, or I realized,
no matter what the appearances may be, that on the
other side of me, I'm gonna be just fine. See,
you may be outwardly people hating on you, talking about

(02:28):
you dragging your name through the mud. Look, man, people
can say stuff about you. Most people talking about you
don't even know you. They just participating in it. You
can have that appearance going on, but behind you, within you,
if you have a relationship with God, it don't matter
because you can be all right. I've seen it get

(02:49):
real stormy on the outside for me, but on the inside,
I just had to feel and I was gonna be
all right. See. That's what the relationship gives you. Man.
It gives you the confidence to know that the things
that you're going through are temporary. That is just the
space that you happen to be in. Like I said
the other day, you got to remember something. The road

(03:09):
to success is always under construction. You might as well
get ready for that if you planning on changing, getting better,
doing something about your health. If you decide, hey, look
I just would like to live a longer, more prosperous life,
or hey I want to make X amount of dollars,
or hey man, I'm gonna stop staying out in these
streets and I'm gonna come home and treat my family

(03:31):
way they ought to be treated. I don't care what
decision you make when you strike out on that road
to success, it's under construction, partner, that's barrels out there,
there's wide turns, there's detours. You know, it's me and
out there holding signs saying slow down. Sometimes they put
the stop sign up. You got to wait and watch
people go by you on the other side. Then before

(03:55):
you can take off again. You've all been on the
road with construction on it and be so frustrating, and
the whole time you on that road. I know when
I'm on the road we can under construction. I'm always
thinking of an alternative path. I ain't ever set in
traffic under construction, man, and thought of if I get

(04:15):
off on this exit, where would it take me? Not knowing,
but just man, could I keep moving if I go
that way? That's a dangerous thing sometimes, see, because oftentimes
when we get off the road to success and we
take that other path, we get further and further off course.
Because wasn't no DETOURLS signed for that, Just a decision
I made on my own because I don't like sitting here.

(04:37):
Sometimes I don't have the patience I ought to have,
So I've taken some what I thought might be shortcuts.
But I got to tell you something, ain't no shortcuts
on the road to success. Even the detour signs wind
up taking you a little bit out your way. And
look background. I remember one time I was coming from
Las Vegas and that was some type of chemical spill
in the truck and you could almost see the smoke

(05:04):
up ahead in very faint. So they detoreed us through
the desert and we had to go all the way around,
and I drove, man like an hour and a half
out of the way. And when they entered us back
on the freeway where we were to go back to
La As soon as I got it that exit to
get back on the freeway, I looked right there and
there the accident was. Now it was an hour and

(05:27):
a half hour forty five all the way around in
that desert to get back to almost the same place.
But it was the best way to go, because see,
that was the route to take. And that's what you
got to understand about trying to make the right decision
to be successful, that the road to success is always
under construction. You're gonna have to go round a little bit,

(05:50):
so quick stop being impatient with I don't want to
go around. I'm gonna go this way, you go that
way if you want to just follow the detour science. See,
because somebody that came up this road before you have.
Somebody done travel the road already and they took the
way around, and yeah, it seemed like it's a longer way,
and you want to make that other decision. But stay
on the road to success. It's under construction, man, That's

(06:13):
just the way it goes. Don't lose your patience and
try to create a shortcut for yourself. I'm gonna go away.
Ain't nobody ever gone way? Hold up, Pardoner, you really
think you're gonna do that? Listen. There's oftentimes a lot
of rewards when you go the least travel path. But
the road to success is the least travel path. That's
what you keep getting mixed up. You keep thinking if

(06:35):
you go another way. No, no, stay on the road
to success. That is the least travel path. It's under construction.
You can go out there with your machete if you
want to talking about cutting new trails. You think the
road to success is under construction, take the other route
and get that machete out and see how long you
be out there trying to cut a path sometimes, man,

(06:58):
you just got to stay patient. The road to success
has been traveled before by millions of people in front
of you, everybody that has some setbacks in life. But
don't get off the road to success just because you
having some setbacks, just because you see some orange barrels up,
just because there's some men out there with vest on
what they got to do with you? Everybody, everybody that's

(07:19):
trying to be successful, is on that road. Your relationship
with God helps you guide yourself around the barrels. It
helps you have the patience to go around that way.
He gonna get you back where you gotta be, But
you got to go out there so you can learn
some things. See, you need God to make it in life,

(07:40):
because the road to success is always under construction. He
calms you down when the barrels is up. He lets
you know it's gonna be all right. He rewards you
with the patience to finish because He gonna get you
right back where you need to be and you can
get on which way you is going. Okay, all right, y'all,
we're gonna try that today. You're listening to the Steve
