Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on your uh huh, I sure will. Good morning
everybody you're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Well,
I got to tell you something, everybody, and this is
great news for everybody that I'm gonna share something with
(00:22):
your principal of becoming successful at whatever level you choose.
It can be successful in the relationship, successful in the family.
Successes may be considered to you becoming a homeowner. It
could be being debt free. Your ideal success could be
(00:44):
sixty thousand a year, fifty thousand a year, one hundred
thousand dollars a year. Doesn't matter if you're considering it,
if you're wanting it, if you have a desire to
become successful, I want to share with you the very
beginning of that. If no one's ever done it, I'm
gonna say the beginning of it today. See Scripture makes
(01:10):
it very clear for us. You don't The only thing
you need to become successful is already inside of you.
It's not an external need. God wouldn't do that to you.
He puts the core basis of everything you need inside
of you. So if you discover it, if you tend
(01:34):
to it, nurture it, fertilize it, and water it. It grows,
it branches out. Then it reaches out externally and it
starts grabbing things outside of there to make it even bigger, stronger, better,
last longer. But in the very beginning, you don't need anything.
It's all within you. And if you cultivate your relationship
(01:57):
with God, it flourishes. Now, let me tell you that
thing that I'm talking about is a God given gift
that He has given to all of us. We all
possess it. It is all within us. Everybody has a gift.
Had somebody told me what I know now back then,
(02:19):
I would have saved myself tons of mistakes. I just
didn't know the principles. I had to learn them all. Well.
One of the principles are becoming successful is your mindset.
You got to get your mind right now. This mindset
is simply a decision that you can make. I can't
get it for you. I can tell you what to do,
(02:42):
but you got to make the decision. You that's listening
have to decide. You know what, I'm gonna go on
and get at it. I'm gonna stop writing. I'm gonna
become a homeowner. You know what, I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna stop living check to check, I'm i'm I'm
I'm gonna put a budget together. I'm gonna stop stepping
out on my family. I'm gonna go home. I'm gonna
(03:03):
get it together. I'm gonna stop using when you make
these decisions. That's correcting your mindset. Now, the closer connection
you have with God, the more help you get sustaining
the mindset. How many times have you started to do
something and you stopped? How many resolutions have you made
at the New Year and stopped by February? Over with
(03:25):
by me? And January done in March? Because if you
don't have a clear connection with your creator to help
you carry out, the other force out there, that evil
force is designed to get you not to reach your goals,
get you not to come to resolution with whatever the
resolutions are you made, so you can consider yourself not
(03:49):
worthy or failure or unable to do something. But the
more things you are able to accomplish your greater your
confidence goals grows. So we got to get your mindset together.
Your mindset is a decision that you have to make.
When you make the decision, you can begin in the process.
Your mindset is also a will of yours, a will
(04:10):
along with the decision, a will, a willingness to do right,
a willingness to change, a willingness to be better. Is
going to then cause you to have to make a
decision to make a change of direction. Don't go where
everybody else going. You got to go your way now.
(04:32):
You can't follow the crowd. You got to take a
less travel path. You cannot do this without changing your direction.
You can't keep hanging with the people you've been hanging
with if you want to be different, because they not.
Then you have to develop an obligation to yourself. You've
got to say, you know what for me and my family,
(04:54):
or if you don't have a family, for me, I
owe it to myself. I have an obligation to mine
myself to be the best meed that I can possibly be,
to be the best self that I can possibly be,
to be the best father, the best man, the best husband,
the best wife, the best mother, the best daughter, the
(05:15):
best son, the best student, the best employee, the best owner.
You have an obligation to yourself to give yourself a
shot at the best life you can. That's an obligation.
You owe that to yourself. Why would you not live
the best life that you possibly could? You have an
obligation to yourself. Why would you cheat yourself like that?
(05:39):
Why would you take yourself and never allow yourself to
see the goodness that's already in you, to have the
abundance that's been promised to you, to go and explore
all the riches out there that's available to you. But
one of the worst ways that you can rob yourself
(06:01):
of the joy of your obligation is to keep comparing
yourself to somebody else. Because guess what, Man, that ain't
your life. You ain't jay Z and Beyonce, You're not Oprah. Instead, Man,
that's not who you are. Quit looking around at everybody else.
That comparison of everybody else will keep you broken, It'll
(06:23):
keep you unhappy. You won't even be able to be
grateful for what you have because you steady talking about
what you don't have. That's not the way, man. You
have an obligation to yourself to be the best you
you can be, not the best them. You're not them.
Stop trying to be them, Be the best you. It's cool.
You got a nice little house. That's cool. You know
(06:44):
how many big houses is empty and feel with hate
and resentment. I'd rather have a smaller house fill with
joy in it than to go to a big house. Man.
Prince got a line in a song that says, I realized,
in its best disguise, a pretty house don't make a home. Man.
(07:06):
Don't you know I know how true that is? So
I'm just trying to tell you now. Another part of
the mindset is taking dead aim at your life's goals
and ambitions. What are they? What are your goals and
your visions? What do you see for yourself? What do
(07:26):
you dream about? If you knew you couldn't fail at
whatever it is you were attempting, what would you go
attempt See? That's what we need to be after. It's
a mindset, y'all. It's a decision, it's a will, it's
a change of direction. It's an obligation to yourself. It's
taking dead aim at your life's visions and goals. Come on, man,
(07:47):
you got to get your mind wrapped around this thing.
You owe it to yourself to live the best life
you can be. Come on, man, talk to God. God
got something for you. You just got to check in
with him here listening to the Steve Leave Harvey Morning
