Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on your maha, I sure will. Good morning everybody,
y'all listening to the voice? Come on dig me now
one it on? Is Steve Harvey got a radio show? Yeah?
Man boy, God has been good to me. Man, I
can't really count at all. You can't either, you know,
(00:22):
it's all in perspective. You really can't count all that
God has done for you if you look at every
little thing. It's unbelievable the things He's done for us.
How many times you know, we got through something without
even talking to him about it. He just he just
blessed us with it. How many you know? It's just
it's so much that the fact that you wake up
(00:44):
in the morning, the fact that you still have a
place to stay, the fact that you know may be
struggling out here, but guess what, you still going to work.
You know, you live in check to check, but you're
making it all. You got all the plates spinning, you know,
it's hard. You got a lot of plate spinning, but
you keep them up there. Someone every now and near
one break, but he put two more back up there
to look a little bit better. And you got to
(01:04):
get to spending them so it all works. And then
you got a lot of people who just can't seem
to mentally put it together as to you know, why
their life isn't in a position that they wanted to be.
We talk about this oftentimes, but I don't want to
try another angle with you to day. You know, maybe
(01:26):
it's you. Have you ever thought about that. Maybe it's you.
Maybe it's no external force that's at fault, like you
keep making the excuse to be. You know, so many
people out here, Well, if this hadn't ha done this,
if he hadn't have done that, if she hadn't have
done that, I would have been further along. I wasted
(01:48):
all my time, my years with this man and he
did this, and I could have been here and I
could have been there. And this woman she did this
to me. And if she hadn't have done that, I
could have been here and I could have been there.
Maybe it's you. Maybe it's not really that external force
that you keep making it out to be. See, I've
(02:10):
done this to myself before. Once again, I'm talking to
you about something I know about. I've done this to
myself before. I've had the reason I wasn't where I
wanted to be. I had it figured out as some
external force. I had worked it out in my mind.
(02:31):
Clearly it wasn't me because of so and so or
if this hadn't happen, and if they hadn't have done this,
I would have been further along up the road, That's
what I was saying. But hold on, man, boy. I
learned a valuable lesson. Man. See, if you don't ever
let it go, it's gonna be hard for you to go.
(02:57):
If you don't ever let it go, it's gonna be
hard for you to go. I was listening to Bishop
td Jake's one day, and I heard him say, you
can't drive your car if you gonna keep looking in
the rear view mirror. You go outside and try that.
(03:18):
Try to drive your car, but keep your eye in
the rear view mirror. All you looking at is where
you're being. All you're looking at in that rear view
mirror is where you passed or should have passed, something
you should have moved on from. All you're doing is
looking in that real view mirror at what happened back now.
If you don't stop looking in the real view mirror,
(03:41):
you're gonna crash your car over and over and over again.
All you got to slow it down so bad in
order for you to keep looking in that rear view mirror.
If you don't learn to let it go, it's gonna
be hard for you to go forward because you keep
(04:05):
reviewing the past. The past is the past, and I
know it's hard. Man. I watched a show and this
lady said, well, I just can't ever forgive them for that,
or guess what. Guess what God may have already forgiven
that person. That person may be extremely remorseful, could have
(04:25):
gone to God and gotten in forgiveness for it years ago.
But you you sit here and you keep hanging on
to the back. I can't ever forgive that. Then I
heard Bishop Jakes come on the show one time and
say something that really really struck home. You keep drinking
the poison waiting on your enemy to die. He said that.
(04:52):
I just shook my head and went, Wow, you drinking
the poison waiting on your enemy to die. Revenge is
poison to you. You know, if hatred is poisoned to you.
Unforgivingness when you won't forgive a person, that person could
(05:14):
be going on with they life made the right with God.
Don't know how you feeling. They skipping through life. Now
you make adjustments every time you see them, and it
takes energy. Man, it takes so much energy to hate.
It takes so much energy not to forgive to Now
they come in the room. You got to avoid them.
Stay over here, Oh here they come. Now you got
(05:36):
to make a situation over here. They come into the house.
It's family reunion. Oh oh, here they come. Or where
they gonna be in the basement. I'm going to be
on the third floor. I want to go out here
and get some barbecue. She out there at the barbecue, staying,
Oh lord, I don't want a barbecue. I just eat
to take a set of people. Man take themselves all
out of position, trying to make adjustments, when if you
it would simplify your life, if you would let just
(06:01):
let it go. Maybe you ain't where you need to
be because of them external forces altogether. Maybe you're not
where you need to because of you, because you won't
let it go, you won't move forward. Look at this, ladies,
Let's say you've been in a situation with a man
for years. It didn't work out. For whatever the reason,
(06:22):
it just didn't work out. I got what you say
he did. I got what he did. I got he
all of that, YadA YadA YadA. When you get through,
did not God get you through it? Did not he
allow you to survive it? I got you, got some
cuts on you, I got you been a little bit bruised.
(06:46):
But did he not get you through it? So now
that he's freed you from it, now he done went on.
He got a whole nother family over there somewhere. Now
he trying to make it right because maybe he learned
the mistake he made and now he trying to be better. Man,
He's just trying to get it right now. But you
sitting there holding on to it. You drinking the poison,
(07:07):
waiting on your enemy to die. So now, instead of
you enjoying the blessing of finally being free from a
situation that was not healthy for you, you create an even
more unhealthy situation in your mind by hating, by having
revengeful thoughts, by hoping he fall on his face. Maybe
you even doing something to the other situation to make
(07:27):
sure they struggle. Oh man, you drinking the poison, waiting
on your enemy to die. Maybe you ain't where you
ought to be in life, not because of your external forces,
but maybe it's you. If you don't let it go,
it's gonna be hard for you to go. You can't
keep driving your car looking in the rear view mirror.
(07:50):
Come on, man, Forgiveness is not for the other person.
Forgiveness is for you. Steve Harvey Morning Show
