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.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
One and only.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Steve Harvey got a radio ship. Yeah, man, Steve Harvey
got a radio shop. Trying to do something with it too.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Man. You know, I was having a conversation the other
day with a young person and they were telling me
how they felt that their life was stuck, that their
life was in a rut, that they didn't know what
to do next. And one of the things that was
(00:38):
causing them this sadness or this depression. I mean, they're
really really into something right now. One of the things
that was causing it was the fact that they had
made a list of things they wanted to accomplish by
a certain age, and that age they just had a
(01:00):
birthday recently and they were looking at the list and
the list hadn't been fulfilled, and because that list hadn't
been fulfilled, they were really really sad about it. You know.
One of the things that they had on the list
(01:23):
was marriage, kids, And I don't know everything else that
was on the list, but that was one of them.
And because she had reached a certain age and she
wasn't married and she didn't have the kids, and she
had just celebrated a birthday. She's gone into this mode
of sadness where it's really really taken a toll on her.
(01:47):
And as I was learning about her situation, I was
thinking about it, and I just wanted to share this
with you all this morning that one of the things
about making a list about what you want, which I
happen to be a proponent of, I do it myself.
People have dream boards. I have a goal sheet. I've
(02:10):
been doing it for years. It's a wonderful way to
set goals and to keep it in front of you
as a constant reminder. And I always go over this
goal list every day, you know, I mean I go
with it all the time every day. Sometimes I miss
a day here and there, but mostly every day I
pull my goal sheet out and I look at it,
I read it. So I was going to these rallies
(02:33):
and I was learning about, you know, people who are
successful in how they kept their mind writing possible. And
one of the things I learned was to make these
dream boards, these lists, these gold sheets, and in making
a goal sheet, and you make the sheet according to
what you want, think about one thing when you made
(02:54):
your goal sheet about what you wanted. Does your goal
sheet have on it what God wants from you? Did
you ask in any of this what was His will
in your life? You know? Look, man, what we want
oftentimes is not what He wants for us. And you know,
if you're fighting against what you were created for, if
(03:18):
you're fighting against his will, I mean, what do you
want to happen? See? Don't be so hard on yourself
when you look at your goal sheet and you look
at what you've not become what you thought was a
great idea. Don't be so hard on yourself because you
just made a minded mistake. As do most people, we
oftentimes make our goals and set our goals up without
(03:40):
ever considering what is it that God wants from us.
We keep talking about what we want without ever finding
out or knowing what it is God wants for us. Well,
guess what, man, Maybe you're fighting against the grain. Maybe
you just a salmon heading upstream. That's a tough fight upstream.
Not all salmon's get up to the spawning grounds, you know,
(04:00):
them don't make it upstream, you know, but all of them,
nearly all of them except the ones that's killed by pray.
When they're spawn they go out to the ocean. That's
cool because you're going because you're going with the grain,
you're going downstream, you're going with the flow. That's But
when it's time to go against the grain, it's tough.
And a lot of us have just been going against
(04:20):
the grain for all of these years. But you know what, listen, man,
I did it. I know a lot of people who
did it. Very few people get it right from the
very beginning. Man, you got to stumble through life sometimes
sometimes you got to fall through life. You got to
make a lot of mistakes, man, But these mistakes are
not failures. You know, when you fail, it's something. Don't
(04:41):
look at it as a failure. Don't look at yourself
as a failure. Because you're thirty and your goals ain't
reached that you had on your list, that was your list.
What about the things that's going right. Stop looking at
what you're not. Take some time out and thank God
for what you are. How about the fact that you
keep waking up to be thirty. You know, you get
depressed about these birthdays. You really want to throw yourself
(05:04):
in some depression. Miss a birthday. You really got a problem. Now,
look at where you are. You keep reaching birthdays. That's
a glorious blessing. You keep waking up. You got your health,
You've accomplished something. Something on your list is done. People
spend too much time on the negative side, and you're
just throwing yourself into depression. So what you want to
(05:25):
be married by a certain age, and you wanted to
have kids. Okay, cool, you could have done all that
with the wrong person. There's a blessing in not being
married to the wrong person. There's a blessing in not
having kids and nobody to help you raising. There's a
blessing in that man, you're talking to somebody who can
tell it to you. You can marry the wrong person
if you want to. I'm telling you you're gonna be
(05:46):
up in some mess you can't count on. So instead
of being angry because you're not married, you don't have kids,
why don't you thank God the man. Maybe he spared
you from some misery here. Maybe you could have married
the wrong person. Maybe you have kids and you're not
really ready to be a mother or father. You got
to look at the upside, man, Quit looking at what
you don't have. Take some time to thank God for
(06:07):
what you do have. When you do that, you make
more room for blessings to flow into your life. I'm
not saying how God thinks, because I really don't know,
but I'm telling you if a person comes to me
and I always give a person something and they never
appear grateful or they never say thank you, please know
you can quit coming to me. Now. I don't notice
(06:30):
how God works because I've gone back to him several
times without being grateful of thanking him, and He's filled
my basket up again. So I really think he's not
like that. But I can't make the call for sure,
but I think at one point in time, me, just
me talking, i'd be a little ticked off at somebody
who was always taking, taking, taking, and never showing any gratitude.
(06:54):
At one point in time, I would just stop the
flow of the take. You know, you just you can't
take no more from me. That's what I would do. Now.
I'm not calling it like that because I ain't him,
but I know he's merciful, he's full of goodness, and
he and he'll forgive you. And thank God he does
that because he's show enough done it for me. But wow, man,
(07:14):
take some time out today and be grateful for what
you have, stop complaining about where you not, and think
about where you are, and then take it from there.
And the next time you make a list, make sure
on that list you have God's will. What does he
want for you? Does God create give everybody a gift
and a talent? Some of us never apply gifts and talents.
(07:34):
We head off in another direction. Then you wonder why
your life ain't where it's supposed to be. Have you
ever thought about what God gifted you to do? Have
you ever thought about doing that? And still skip what
you want? I wanted to play in the NBA, but
I got to tell you something at dribbling and shooting
and running all at one time, throwing me off a
little bit. You know, they just so I'm doing what
(07:55):
I do. It's pretty cool. You canna look at it
that way, okay, lit, Easy to Eve Harvey Morning Show
Come on, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody
