Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, I sure will.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now,
one and only. It is Steve Harvey. Yeah, I got
a radio show. Okay, this is a timely for everybody.
I'm sure I want to offer you all some encouragement,
(00:29):
because everybody needed. Let me tell you something. You strike
out on your goals, you strike out on your aspirations,
and so you strike out, as it happens to all
of us. Here it comes life. Life just hits one
(00:52):
of them bad notes as it always does, as it
always does for all of us everybody. Now, when those
bad notes happen, when the haters come out of nowhere,
when the setback comes up, when when the eye of
nowhere appears, when now I didn't see that coming comes.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Here's here's what you have to do.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Here is the thing that I have been teaching myself
for years that I used to not always understand. So
I'm trying to give it to you. You have to
be encouraged anyway. Now that's difficult, Okay, Steve, what you're
talking about? You just told me all this discouraging stuff
(01:43):
that can happen, and you said you got to be encouraged.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Yeah, man, you have to, because what's happening to you
right now, the thing that you're going through right now,
the thing that everybody's going through now.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Ain't nobody on smooth sailing. Man.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Everybody got something. And if they, if they don't smooth sailing,
just know this is coming. There's nothing I'm wishing on anybody.
It's just that this is life. This is how it
happens everybody. So please stop stop getting on the old
woe is Me bandwagon, the old Lord? Why met old lord?
Something always happened to me, something always happens to everybody.
(02:27):
But here's what you got to do. When you get
in moments like this. You got to be encouraged. You
got to remember in those times, in those times when
it's going wrong, you got to remember all that you've
been through.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
You got to remember all that you've come through.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
You have to remember those other times when you felt
like this and somehow, unexplainably you don't even really stop
to say nothing about it.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
It just change you. And the problem that was is
no more.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
And the situation that seems so insurmountable, you got over it.
You got around it, You got over it. Sometimes you
just got to slide right under it. Sometimes you got
to plow through it. But in those times when it's
(03:25):
discouraging for you, when you feel like giving up, those
are the test. Those are the moments that will determine
whether we make it or not.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I'll tell you one thing for sure.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
If you give up in these moments, right here here
is a for show you'll never make it. That that's
unquestionably the deal. If you give up in these dark times,
if you give up in these what you think is
insurmountable moments, if you turn back now here is the
(04:04):
one thousand percent.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
For shure you ain't gonna make it. But there is
a bright side to this situation.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
If you keep your head down, if you keep forging,
if you keep pressing on. Sometimes, if you just stand
there and sometimes get knocked to your knees, but if
you stay in that place, if you just stay there
and ride the storm out, my head is bloodied but unbowed.
(04:33):
If you can just stay there, if you consider in
that moment.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
And ride it out, you will win.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
You will pass the test, and you will get to
move on to the next level. But there is no
next level without a test. You can't get to grade
six without passing grade You can't be a senior without
first being a junior.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
You can't graduate.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Without fulfilling the hours and requirements. You see, I don't
care what you do in life. Look at it.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
It's all set up on levels.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Well, you've got to accomplish the thing before in order
to get to the next level. And when you've made
those level accomplishments, you get to graduate. Now you can
go on and get a master's and a PhD. You
can go on and become rich. You can go become wealthy,
or you can go or you can go somewhere and
think yourself in another set of circumstances. But you got
(05:38):
to go through something to get to something. That ain't
nothing free. So you can stop that notion about being
successful that is easy. Come on, man, if it was easy,
what we don't what we're talking about. It is not easy.
Stop thinking it is. It is difficult. But I'll tell
you what's even more difficult than becoming successful. You want
(06:01):
to know what that is? Try not being successful your
whole life. That's hard. You are listening to a person
who has done them both been successful and really really
been not successful.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
And I got news for you both of them hard.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
But I would rather deal with what it is to
be something, to make something out of myself, to force
myself to go to work when I don't feel like it.
This morning was a rough get up for me, but
I got up and I said thank you anyway, never
give up, And I don't watch this dude to he
don mess around and got close to me because he
just never gave up.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
You can never ever give up. Never. It's not an option.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Giving up cannot be an option for you. You cannot
do that. It's out of the question. It's inconceivable in
your mind to quit. To quit is to what what
you get when you quit?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Nothing? That is a reward for.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Those who hang in there, who never give up, who
forged through, who see it through, who get knocked down
and get back up, who gets trample but somehow gathers
themselves and get back to your needs. But stay in
that place, man, don't ever give up. Don't let go
be encouraged. Think of all you've been through, Think of
all you come through, Think of all He's done for you.
(07:30):
Think of all the times you thought you wasn't gonna
make it, but somehow without you ever even saying thank you,
he got through He got you through it anyway. That's
that thing called grace. Now we kind of need that
in our life. All ill all I need is a
little more grace. You can't give God no money for grace, man.
Grace is absolutely free. It's available to everybody, but you
(07:53):
can't get none if you quit. Don't give up. I'll
just tell you that flat out. Don't ever give up.
