Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody.
You're listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now.
One and all is Steve Harvey. Man oh Man got
a radio show, yep. Trying to make it work too.
I'm not trying. I'm I'm getting it. I'm getting it
done to the best of my abilities. Now, something funny

(00:24):
my father taught me. He said, so when you've done
all you can do, if you've done your absolute best
and you look up and it didn't get the job done,
take a deep breath and do some more. That used
to bug me, man, when my father used to tell me,

(00:47):
that's the son, when you've done your absolute best and
you think you can't do no more, you've done all
you can and it still don't get the job done.
Take yourself a deep breath and do some more. And
you know what I found that has worked every single time,

(01:09):
every single time, because what my father knew was that
what you think is your breaking point, or what you
think is you're all in all, he says, son, it's
just something about it. Man, If you just gather yourself,
you got a little bit more. Everybody got some more.

(01:34):
And you know, I gotta be honest with you, it
has worked. It has helped me greatly, and you know it.
Everybody does have some more, you know. I tell that
to my sons all the time. Dad, I did my best. Well,
let mens you something else. Could you have done anything else?
Could you have studied a little harder, Could you have

(01:55):
shown up a little bit earlier, could you stayed a
little bit later? Yeah, well then okay, that's what you
should have done. Then See, there's always a way. But
if you're going to create excuses, if you're gonna make
them up all the time about why you don't get
it done, I have a very very sad statement for

(02:19):
you right now. You're never gonna get anything done. You're
never gonna get to the top, not to the top.
You can get halfway up now, you can get a
third of the whey up, you can get three quarters
of the whey up. But if you don't have that
little extra reserve in you, you're not getting to the top.
The top is only reserved for those that have the

(02:41):
wherewithal and the power to desire, the drive and the
gut riching effort to get to the top. The top
is reserved only for the top. It's just the top.
There ain't but one top. Then the middle done, ain't it?
You know? The top, the top of the mountain halfway

(03:02):
is a different view. At the top, things look different
from up top. So if you want to get to
the top of whatever your profession, your field, your career,
whatever it is, you got to do extra. You have
to do more. More is expected of you. More, but

(03:23):
his what's really crazy, More is required of you. Don't
live your life in a laxadaisical state. Don't wake up
every day with the feeling of, well, you know, whatever
happens happens, na man, have us say so in your
life you. First of all, let me ask you something.

(03:44):
Who has God named the person that God has given
authority over you? Name the person? But who is the person?
Nobody has domain over you? God didn't create that person.
So what you sitting here for? Man? What are you
sitting here for letting people who do not know direct

(04:06):
your path? Why are you worried about all these people
with what they got to say about you and all
these people with what they got to think about you?
When here's the news flash, they don't know either. All
these people that you overly concerned about, all these people
that you go into these answers for they need answers

(04:28):
to stop. What are you doing here? Gather yourself for
a minute. Here is a solution to all of that.
You have one source that will be there for you
to the end of time, and that is your relationship
with God. That is the one thing that's solid and

(04:49):
for show. He's behind the wall. He's in your jail cell.
He rides with you in the police car. He's with
you on your job up into school. He's down there
board meetings with you. He goes with you when you
travel on plains. He says with you when you're in
a relationship. He helps you with your parenting skills. He

(05:10):
helps you. He's there to assist you. He show if
you do the right things, he show you and guide
you to your next job. When you lose your job
and you think it's a rap, there's some good behind it. Man.
God is always working on your behalf. To those that believe, you,
just gotta believe. He don't ask you for nothing else.
Believe in me. That's all he asks you to do.

(05:31):
What you're tripping for. Man. And then when you make
the decision to believe in him, and it comes out
your mouth from time to time somewhere what you're worried about,
what people say, What you're worried about, what they think? For?
Why who are they? They need God to you telling
them you found something new that you're gonna give this
a shot right here. Now, they got some yang yin

(05:52):
yang and some yak of the yakh to say about
that when they need God too. That's what amazes me,
man about people sit up in here, man, be knocking
your dream and stuff. Look, if you're an atheist, man,
do your thing, do your thing, But you can't create
no laws. Why I can't do mine? That don't make
no sense. Man, that makes no sense at all to me.

(06:14):
You have the right to go be whatever you want
to be. You know if you don't, you don't like
the fact that I'm in school, got my head bowed down,
and I'm saying a prayer for I take this test.
Just don't buy your head. Don't you pray? But if
some kids want to get together, that's some crazy mess.
That's what happened in our schools. We took prayer out
of schools. Now, look at our schools. You send your

(06:35):
child to school and someone else comes back home that's
a whole nother thing right here. That's not what I
want to talk to you about. But I was just
throwing it out because you know, hey, man, your relationship
with God is essential to your success as a person.
It's essential to your existence. It's essential to where you're
trying to go and what you're trying to be. Because

(06:57):
He made you. Why would you you not talk to
the person that made you to find out what he
created you for. I ain't talking about your parents, who
made your parents. This is God, we created in his image.
Why would you not talk to your maker to see
why you got made? That don't make sense to you.

(07:20):
If you're sitting and gotten yourself in a situation, you
sitting in the jail cell somewhere, you locked up, you
doing some time, man, be a good time for you
to reflect. But whatever your situation is, Man, God can
get you through it. He can give you the strength,
the courage to wherewith all the understanding everything you need,
the wisdom to get you through anything you're going through.

(07:42):
You just got a touch base with him. I need
God every single day of my life and what He's
done for me. Man off the chain, But guess what
He'll do the same thing for you. Is the Steve
Harvey Morning Show.
