Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody,
you all listening to the voice, come on, dig me now.
One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man
got a radio show because God is in a blessing business.
I just happen to be a recipient. I just happened

(00:21):
to got a couple of things right, and man, his
grace and mercy carries you the rest of the way.
All you got to do is get a couple of
things right, and then his grace and his mercy will
take over his favor, his love of you. It's it's

(00:42):
already evident. I mean, you know, because so many times
we go along without even acknowledging him or conferring with
him in our decisions, and we look up when we
find ourselves in a predicament and He always comes comes
to the rescue. He always manages to show up. He's
never too late, he's never one minute too late. And

(01:04):
so in light of this today I wanted to talk
to you about something. It's another principle of success that
I'd like to share with everybody this morning. And once again,
these are not things that you don't know or you've
never heard before. These are just reminders along the way.

(01:27):
And one of the things you have to be conscious
of is don't be afraid to change. Don't be afraid
to change because change is coming anyway. See, I have
a theory, don't be afraid to change because change is
coming anyway. You know, everything changes, nothing remains the same nothing,

(01:48):
and change is inevitable. Now, you could participate in the change,
or you can react to the change. Are you following me?
You can participate in the change or you can react
to the change. But don't be afraid to change because

(02:09):
change is coming anyway. Now, what I mean by that
is this, in participating in the change or reacting in
the change, there is a difference. See, if you react
to the change, that means the change has occurred and
now you have to make the necessary adjustments to the change. Example,

(02:32):
the boss walks in. You think your job is good.
The boss walks in and hands you a pink slip.
That right there, that's a change. Now you didn't participate
in this change because you didn't ask for the pink slip.
But now you got to react to the pink slip.
Whenever you have to react to the change, it's an

(02:53):
adjustment period. It almost throws you off. So change going
to come. It always does. You could participate or you
can react. Or let's say your boss comes in and
hands you the pink slip, and you said, you know

(03:15):
what I've been preparing for this day? Always knew nothing.
Last forever, I've been working on the sideline, on the
business idea I had, and I had, or I had
several other applications in around town. I was just holding
off to see what was going going. So when they
hand you the pink slip, the transition, the adjustment you

(03:38):
make is a lot more smooth transition because now you
just transition into your new business idea that you've been
working on. Are you transitioning into the apps you already
had in or the contacts you made the preparation for
when the day they come in hand you the pink slip, Well, Steve,
what did they surprise you with it? This is just
one example I'm giving you. So you know, let's let's

(04:00):
not nick picked the message. So what I'm saying to
everybody is, don't be afraid to change, because change is
coming anyway. So many people are stuck in a rut
because of our refusal to change. I was hell bent
on a certain thing going a certain way, and this

(04:22):
is how it was gonna go. Well, that that I
was thinking didn't really fit. Now, in my own personal experience,
this may not be yours, but in my own personal experience,
the things that I've had the most trouble letting go
of was something I wanted when I line myself up
with the will of God to ask God what he

(04:44):
wanted from me. You understand, those things came a lot
more easy to me because it was in the will
of God. It was what God wanted me to do too. Okay,
see what you mean by that? Okay, here we go.
Things were going wrong in relationships. For me. What I

(05:06):
did was the biggest mistake I've ever made. Was I
attempted to fix what was wrong in my relationship outside
of the relationship. Feel me. Okay, So I'm out there
working my groove like I want to. Well, now, guess what.
There's the cause and effect for all of that too.

(05:27):
Your house ain't gonna get better, it can't. And then
that lays room for some other things. And so now
when the change come, guess what I got to react
to it? Now, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta have
a reaction to it. Had I lined myself up in
the will of God, the transition may have grown differently.

(05:51):
It could have still ended the relationship. But guess what,
some of the pain I was in I ain't had
to go through. I bought a lot on myself. Sometimes
you're pursuing a passion of yours, and what God really
wants you to do is pursue your gift. So now
you're pursuing your passion, right, you passion about golf. You

(06:15):
love golf so much, you just determine. But now you're
messed around. You ain't made it on the PGA Tour yet,
and you forty five, still talking about I'm gonna play
on the PGA Tour. Really okay, Maybe you ain't as
good as this you think, or maybe you're not as
gifted as you think. Maybe you're pursuing a passion. Sometimes, man,
we have to change and we have to ask God

(06:39):
what is his will? His will is much simpler. It's
a simpler rule. Not going to be easier, it's simpler.
See when I wake up now, it's simple for me
to wake up because I know that are few things
that I have to do. I have to click this
mic on. I have to be positive, I have to

(06:59):
be as I have to be informative, I have to
be uplifting. Got it, That's what he want. All I
got to do is sit down, close my eyes, ask
God to help me be who he want me to be.
And for the most part, he tell me what to say. Now,
guess what he's done though, to create this in me.

(07:20):
I went through enough things in my life. I had
enough challenges. I made plenty of mistakes. So now at
my age, I can turn around and tell somebody listening
to me, Okay, this is what I did. This is
a mistake I made. Maybe you see yourself in this
story right here. Maybe you don't have to go this way.
Or this is what I've learned about becoming successful. Here's
a principle that I learned. But then, guess what I

(07:42):
had to be unsuccessful to get it though, didn't I?
So you can't have a testimony without a test Change
is coming. It's inevitable. You can participate or you can react.
I much prefer to participate in the change. All right,
let's go. Steve Harvey Morning Show
