Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on yours. I sure will come morning.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Everybody you're listening to the voice, come on dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvey. I got a radio show,
just trying to give God some back, just some back
of what even gave me, just a portion, you know.
Just I'm just trying, man, to to show some type
(00:28):
of gratitude for all his blessings.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
I'm just trying to, man.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Just get it right sometimes, you know what I mean.
I mean, man, you just can't do what you want
to do and just live wrong all the time. Man,
you gotta at one point in time, Steve, come home. Man,
come on, man, you could do better. I know you can.
You know saying and you know what I had to do.
I had to stop saying I'm gonna try to do better,
(00:55):
and I just had to say, hey, man, I'm going
to do better. You know, Try is just to put
forth in f and then if it don't work, well okay.
But if you make up in your mind that I'm
going to do something, then trying isn't enough. It's getting
it done is the only thing that matters. See, it's
the difference between doing and trying. We're gonna try to
(01:15):
win the game, or we're gonna go out here to
win the game. Now, trying to win the game means
that you could lose. But when you got in your
mind made up, most athletes will tell you that they
go out there with the full intent and purpose of
winning and winning. Only see they don't put the second
place finish on the cover Sports Illustrated. Second place don't
(01:36):
get you there. You you got to win. And now
take it out of the scope of athletics, but keep
it in that type of analogy in life. Man, you
just want to you want to win in life, don't you.
I mean, at the end of the day, don't you
want to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated In life?
Don't you want to be recognized for your hard work.
Don't you want, you know, to be recognized within the
(01:59):
bonus structure that at your job. Don't you want to
have your plaque up on the wall down at your job?
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I mean most people do. Some people could care less.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Some people don't care about looking good or being their best,
and that's cool, But I ain't talking to them though.
I'm talking to you. I'm talking to those of you
who want to be the best.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
You can be.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
You know, people kill me when they getting mad at people. Yeah,
and he brown knows and he all up on the
employee of the month man, the dude doing his job
to the best of his ability, and he getting recognized
for it.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
What they got to do with all that you're talking about?
Because you ain't up there.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
There's amazing, man, how people describe other people's success.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
He's so lucky. Lucky?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Hey, man, do they kind of get you a little
bit when people call you lucky when let me tell
you what luck really.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Is, y'all.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Lucky is when hard work bumps up into opportunity. Some
people call that luck, But hold on, let's think about this.
If you wasn't working hard, an opportunity presented itself, what
would you call that? But see, when you've been working hard,
an opportunity presents herself and it bumps up into each other.
Now people want to call that luck, but hold up,
(03:04):
he got to park though today, ain't paying no attention
to Yeah, that opportunity came by, But if you had
not been working hard and the hard work had not
ran up in the opportunity, what would you have?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
No, sir, it's not luck, it's work.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
It is work Because there's a scripture that said faith
without works is dead.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
But my mama was a Sunday school teacher. She taught
me enough. Though.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Now I know difference between right and wrong, just like
you do. You ain't got to you know. It kills
me when people write a strawberry letter? Am I wrong
for this? You know? Well?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Look at this? Read your letter? Are you wrong for this?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
You know?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You're wrong? What you don't need els.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
To be telling, you know, But I'm gonna do this anyway.
Well else, hee, Go ahead, though, do what you want
to do. But you know what, y'all, here's the best
advice I can give you. This is what I really
came to talk about this morning, but I got sidetracked
because I listened. Get out of your own way. So
many of us are blocking our home blessings. Were just
(04:01):
in our own way. We are in our own way.
And one of the most dangerous ways you can get
in your way is to do it your way, to
get it figured your way, and to lock in on
your way. And this the way it's.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Got to go.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Do you know how many people are blocking their blessing?
Do you know how long I block mind? With that
mindset right there? Look, because this the way you do it,
you think that makes it the right way. You think jazz,
cause you done thought on it long and hard, and
that's what you really want. Do you really think that
your way is the right way or could that be
a better way?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
See?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Until I started listening to God and started paying attention
to his way, man, I was spinning my wheels.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Man, I was out here so determined this how I
was gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
But you know I had to learn how to get
out of my own way because just because I could
do it my way didn't mean it was the right way.
I had to get out of my own way. Just
get out your way, man, Now, what what does that mean?
That means, see, set your goals, That means have your dreams.
(05:14):
I'm saying set your goals, man, I ain't saying don't
set goals. Listen to me. Set your goals. What is
it you want to happen? What is it you like
to have? What is it you like to be? What
do you aspire to? Set your goals and set your dreams. Now,
take your goals and your dreams to God and ask
God to show you how. Man, you can save yourself.
(05:38):
A lot of pain. Listen to somebody who did it
his way for so long. And when I finally got
out of my way, out of my own way. When
you've heard old people say let go and let God.
You've heard them say that I didn't. I didn't get it,
but I got it. Now, let go and let God.
(05:58):
And it's amazing little saying. Now you know you may
not get it now. It took me a bunch of
years to get it too. But when I took my
goals and my dreams and my vision to God and
I said, God, this is what I hope for, this
is what I aspired to, This is what I want
to be, This is why I would love to get to.
Then I said, help me, show me how, point me
(06:21):
in the right direction. Let me follow your footsteps, guide
me and give me a spirit of discernment. Show me
who wrong? Because I meet people every day. Ain't up
to no good with me every single day. Oh man, man,
I can't believe I wanna be in you. Man, the
Lord told me something was gonna happen to me today. Well, see,
I talk to him every day. He did not mention
(06:43):
you to me. He ain't said nothing to me. He
didn't tell me what was gonna happen in mine? Now?
I don't mean it can't happen because I'm open to it.
So really, man, I'm proud, and please know I'm listening
as well as I've ever listened before. But get yourself together, though,
see know your goals and your dreams, and then let
God show you how to do it.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
He'll do it. You know.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
It's so important, everybody, that you get focused, that you
aim for something, that you dream of, something, that you
aspire to something. But it's the most the best thing
you can do. After you do all that, Man, get
God involved in it. Man, talk to him. I mean,
why would you not what you got to lose. You
ain't got to go down there and make no big
scene and run laps around the church and run up
(07:28):
there and throw yourself on the altar and scream and
flip over and throw money in the ad. You ain't
got to do that. This you and God, Man, This
you and God. You know you got to serve and
praise Him the way you do it. You gotta let
nobody else tell you how it's done. It's a personal relationship.
People kill me if you don't do it this way.
If you don't come here to this church, and you
don't run around in this circle, and you don't get
(07:48):
flipped in the an.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
You don't.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Hey man, you better go have a relationship with God.
See what that's about, you understand, or nobody throw you
off with all that.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
All right, all right, y'all talk to him. He love
to hear from you. Today, Steve Harvey Morning Show
