Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on your.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Uh huh, I sure will come on to everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
You'll listen to the voice. Come on dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvey h got a radio show. Yep. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Sometimes all I can say, help, man, how far I've
come is really unbelievable. But you know I finally figured
it out. Man. God allowed me to have the life
I've had so that I can become experienced at so
many different things, and in this experience, when I'm talking
(00:40):
and sharing with people, I will be able to relate
to a lot of different circumstances, not exact, but just
the circumstances.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
You know.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
You know if a person comes to me and they say, man,
I've been down and out, Okay, well I know what
that is.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Man. I didn't I didn't have any direction. Okay, got
that been there?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Man? At one point in time, Man, I just kept
piwering mistake on top of mistakes.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
So you know, I think what I'm trying to say
to everybody is when you're going through life and life
is dealing the cards that it deals, I want you
to understand that life deals everybody these cards, the disappointment card,
the setback card, the failure card, the mishap card, the
(01:32):
unexpected misery card, everybody gonna get, the grief card, everybody
gonna get, the rash of bad decision card, everybody gonna
get them. Understand that going in that everybody is gonna
get these cards.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Is how you play.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Them, though, you know, from time to time, one more time,
it's how you play them, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
From time to time.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
When I'm watching TV, I love to watch the World
Series of Poker. I like watching poker tournaments on TV
because it's really weird. What's happened to sport? To a
poker they're actually trying to call it a sport, you know.
And as to everyday guid that doesn't have to be
athletically inclined to anything. Who has a shot of winning
(02:25):
a title if they play their cards right. The best
poker players in the world don't have the best hands.
They just make the best plays. I've seen guys win
a hand with nine to two in they hand as
nothing and win their hand because they knew the bluff,
(02:47):
they knew the odds, They calculated risks, they made the
stakes higher than the other.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Person was willing to pay.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
They gave off the illusion that they had something with
in actuality, they had nothing. So what I enjoy about
poker and watching it is that these people, these people here,
play the hand they dealt and it ain't always a
good hand. But it ain't whether your hand is good.
(03:17):
And it ain't whether you're gonna get dealt bad cards
or not, because you gonna get dealt some bad cars.
Everybody ain't finna get two bullets in their hand. You
ain't finna get two aces when you get dealt.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
You know, when you play a draw poker, some of
your cards gonna be nothing, but you gotta turn that
nothing into something. So when you get dealt these cards
in life, it ain't the fact that you getting to
keep getting them dealt. I was talking with a young
person yesterday and we were talking, and we keep having
the same conversation over and over and over, and they
could not understand why they were not moving forward. But
(03:50):
I said, you don't understand. Every time we talk we
have the exact same conversation. It is simply because you
keep getting your cards and you playing them the same way. See,
until you make a conscience, the conscious decision to do
something different, the results will continue to be the same.
(04:12):
See here's here's here's the way this works. When you're
dealt to disappointments in life, it's how you handle the
disappointments that determine their outcome and who you are. Because
everybody gonna be disappointment, Everybody gonna lose a loved one,
Everybody gonna make a bad decision, Everybody going the end
wake up one morning and have done something they regretted.
(04:35):
Everybody gonna get caught at the wrong time. Every everybody
gonna make a mistake. It ain't just you. That's how
you play your cards when they get dealt to you.
That determine who you are. Now, how do I play
my cards better? First of all, it's a mindset. Quit
looking at everything as just the end when it happens
to you. Oh lord, woe is me? No, everybody got
(05:00):
your circumstances somewhere.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
It ain't old woe as me. It's hold on man.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Okay, let me play this out to see how God
done connected this to something else. See soon as a
person have a setback, what's the first thing A lot
of people do. They go straight negative. I can't see
em to get a break, I can't seem to move forward.
Hold on man, do you realize this could be connected
to something. See, you got to understand, man, that this
thing is all connected. That you not having these mishaps
(05:28):
and these spills and accidents and falls for no reason.
It's so you can become experienced at them. So when
he takes you to the next level, when it happens again,
you have no how and how to handle it. If
you keep throwing yourself off the cliff every time something happened,
you just gonna be a cliff divil man. Stop tripping
yourself out. I was talking to this young person, I
(05:51):
kept saying, and you know what, they tried to tell me.
I'm trying to stay positive. But to people around here,
they just killing that. Oh I see. So when you
learn something and you know something, you don't take ownership
of it. You allow other people to come into what
you know and believe and shake it loose from you.
I don't care who you are. You not doing me
(06:12):
like that. Here's a deal. I have a gift that
was given to me from God. That is the gift
of comedy. That's what I've done. I've made the bulk
of my living on that skill set.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Right there.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
There are comedians who are supposedly friends of mine who
I've worked with, who get around in huddles with one
another and they say, man, Steve really ain't funny. I
don't see what they be laughing at. He ain't funny
to me. He wasn't the funniest king to me. Excuse me,
you're irrelevant in this conversation because irregardless as to how
(06:44):
you feel about me, there are people think that I'm
knocked down kill over funny. But more importantly, I own
the gift that God gave to me. I take ownership
of his blessing. Cause you don't think it's so. You
ain't taking that from me. Stop letting people steal your joy.
Stop letting people take what you're supposed to know. Look,
(07:06):
I'm a I'm a I'm a kind person at heart. Man,
You ain't nothing now you sitting here going man, I
guess I ain't. What's your tripping for?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
You are a.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Kind person, own that take ownership of it. Stop letting
things God has given you be taken away from others.
The devil is a cold player, and he got cold
players working for him, just shaking, just taking stuff from you.
You know, I'm a hard worker. I really am intelligent.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
You stupid man. I thought I was a hard worker. Man.
They came in here and said I was stupid. Man.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. What excuse me?
You're a very bright person. Hey, y'all take ownership. When
God gives you something, blesses you with a gift, a talent,
a skill set, a mindset.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Own it. Don't let people come in here and take
it from you. Man. Okay, I probably shouldn't have went
that here. Steve Harvey Morning Show
