Good morning everybody.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
You are listening to the voice, come on dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvey haha, 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.
You've got to get some help to make it through life.
I cannot imagine where I would be if it was
(02:27):
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
daily basis. I have no idea where I would be,
but clearly I know for a matter of fact, I
(02:47):
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 relie relationship
with God, 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,
(03:11):
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
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
(03:34):
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 sign on
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
(03:55):
think got it going on? Who might be the pattern
of success that you wan a try? You got to
be real careful with that because it may not be
as it appears to be. But one thing is 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
(04:19):
side of me, I'm gonna be just fine. See. You
may be outwardly people hating on you, talking about 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,
(04:41):
if you have a relationship with God, it don't matter
because you can be all right. I've seen it get
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 a temporary that is just the
(05:02):
space that you happen to be in. Like I said
the other day, you got to remember something. The road
to success is always under construction. You might as well
get ready for that. If you planing 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,
(05:23):
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
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 being out
(05:44):
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 you
can take off again. You've all been on the road
with construction on it. It can be so frustrating and
old time you on that road. I know when I'm
on the road we can under construction. I'm always thinking
(06:05):
of an alternative path. I ain't ever set in traffic
under construction, man, and thought of if I get 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
(06:26):
take that other path, we get further and further off course.
Because wasn't no detools signed for that, Just a decision
I made on my own because I don't like sitting
here 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
(06:47):
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 all almost see the
smoke up ahead in very faint. So they detoreed us
through the desert and we had to go all the
(07:08):
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 a half hour forty five all the way
(07:28):
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, so quick stop being impatient with I
(07:50):
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 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,
(08:11):
That's 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?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
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 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
(08:44):
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, you just got to stay patient.
The road to success has been before by millions of
people in front of you, everybody that has some setbacks
(09:05):
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 trying to be successful is on that road.
Your relationship with God helps you guide yourself around the barrels.
(09:26):
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,
because the road to success is always under construction. He
calms you down when the barrels is up. He lets
(09:46):
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.
