You probably got to turn the mouth tut turn the
water of the money upo loo.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Come come on, you're thinking, h huh, I sure will.
Good morning everybody. You are listening to the voice, Come on,
dig me now one it only Steve Harvey got a
radio show.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Man.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
If y'all only knew, I think I'll tell it to
you this morning man started off real crazy. But it's
just those little mishaps where we as people who are
striving to be successful that makes all the difference in
the world. When you have those little minor things that
come up, you can't let the minor things stop you.

(02:36):
You've got to keep pressing forward. Now, Could I have
played the role of where is my car? Where is
my car?

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Where is my car? Instead of hustling and grab a cab?
So what am I? Am I above a cab ride now?
Or do I have to look at the bigger picture
and say, okay, I could act like a little spoiled
brat sometimes type of star and go I don't ride
in cabs, or where's my car? And then go to
blaming people for not having a car, or do I

(03:06):
make the adjustments because ain't like I ain't been in
a cab before, now slow down. Ain't like I ain't
never been in a in a beat up car before.
Slow down? Ain't ever like I ain't never had a
car and rode a bus before. Slow down. Ain't like
I ain't never been homeless before, and they have nowhere
to go? Slow down. So in those moments right there,

(03:27):
always remember where you come from, but even more importantly,
always remember where you trying to go, because it's important
for me that I get here as many mornings as
I possibly can. It's important because that's the goal. And
so many people allow a minor things to stop them
on their road to success. And I'm giving you this
example today not to say hey, look at me, but

(03:51):
to say to you, hey, listen to me. There are
going to be a lot of things that's going to
happen along your way to being successful, and if you
allow the small things to stop you, there's no way
you'll make it. You've got to always press forward and
stop looking at the situation for what it is and look,
sometimes you have to take your hour off right now
and put your eye in the future. You know, God
has blessed me in so many ways. I mean, what

(04:13):
can I say? You know, I ask God for this
syndicated show. He gives me a syndicated show. Niact like
I don't want to come to it. Hold on, man,
slow down. Did not you ask for this? Do I
not realize that there are certain people, man, who look
forward to this message in the morning. I've heard it
from people, so from the hundreds that I've heard it for,

(04:34):
that could represent thousands for all I know. So if
I think somebody's counting on me, I got to try
to get there and give something. So today I didn't
have any time at all to think about what I
might say. I just walk right in and the jingle
was playing, and so I decided to just tell you
about my day and maybe you can relate it to
something you going through along the way, because no matter

(04:55):
who you are, you're going to have some moments man,
where things are going to happen. And like I always
tell my kids, and I just had this conversation with
my little girl. It ain't that things ain't gonna happen.
It's how you handle what happens that matters. But it
don't matter. It's how you handle what happens that's the
determining factor on where you get in life and how

(05:17):
soon you get there and how long you stay there.
That will always be a mishap, something that's gonna throw
you off. There will always be something man that could
deter you. That will be something somewhere, man, that will
make you doubt it. Now that you know that's gonna happen,
then let's talk about how you handle what happens, because

(05:39):
it's going to happen. So now, what do you do
as a person when these moments come about in your life?
How do you handle? Oh?

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Woe is me?

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Oh? I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Well.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
If the Lord wanted me to have this, I'd have that.
How many damn many times you hear people say that,
You know, man, it really irks me. Man, Stop using
God as your excuse. God ain't no excuse. God is
a reason. He's a reason why the good happens. He's
a reason. He's not an excuse. God don't have no excuses,

(06:15):
and none of his scriptures or writings, not that I
he just don't make excuses. I would have done this.
But you know there's a scripture that says the poor
will all shall always be amongst us. Why that's got
to be you. Yeah, he said the poor will always
be amongst us, because you know, everybody ain't gonna follow
the principles of success. But he also said he came

(06:37):
to give you life and give it to you more abundantly.
He said that too, But oh no, you don't want
to hear that because your life kind of trip it
out a little bit. So now what you do with it? Now,
you twist it and you go to that one little
scripture that say well, the poor shall always be amongst us. Well,
that's put in there because that's that suggests in case.

(06:58):
See that's a just in case y'all all don't want
to follow the scriptures. That's just in case you don't
understand that faith without works is dead. That's just in
case you have not because you ask. Now, it's just
in case you don't believe and shall not doubt. He
got all that in that, But in case you don't
want to do that. There is a scripture that tells

(07:19):
you what will happen if you don't do it, and
here it is the poor shall always be amongst us.
But then you get that when they say, well, that's
I guess that's the lord's will, Lord's will, really, really,
really really, that's amazing. I just don't believe that about him.
I don't believe that God created your life to be

(07:39):
a life of misery. I think that we make decisions
along the way that cause us to have lives of misery.
But I really really just don't believe that God created
you for that. I've heard Nelson Mandela speak, and you know,
you gotta go wild. All those years in prison, man,

(08:03):
what was it about? When you hear him speak, you
understand what it was about. He said he always knew
he would be free one day. Now, what he said
he never knew was he said he never knew that
he would be the president of that country. Oh my goodness,
what a long way around. But he could have set

(08:24):
there and got involved in prison activities that wasn't up
to paw and things like that. And they said whenever
young inmates used to come in, he was telling the
story one time of how young inmates used to come
into the prison. They all sit around and talk to
him about what they were doing and how many kids
they had in their lives, and it helped them keep
track of the outside a little bit, and it kept

(08:46):
a sense of time for them, and it reminded me
to talk about what they left behind, and it kept
them going because something was greater on the other side.
Had he allowed that to stop him, had he allowed
the imprisonment, which is a pretty major deal. Oh, by
the way, then guess what he would have never been
the Nelson Mandela that we know today, a martyr, a leader,

(09:09):
a great force. People want to go around him. Even
people that imprisoned him could not understand his staunch strength,
his faith, his unwavering commitment. They couldn't understand it. So
things are going to happen in your life, but it's
how you handle what happens doesn't matter. So keep pushing, y'all.
Don't let the little things get in the way, okay,

(09:30):
And if you just sometimes you just don't know. I
got in a cab thinking I wasn't gonna make it,
but at least let's go see, let's try. I made it. Now,
guess what that gives me another piece of information that
I have, and all I had to see it again today.
Guess what I said today? Man, sometime when it looked
like you ain't gonna make it, just go ahead on anywhere. Now.

(09:50):
I could still be back there at the hotel talking
about where my car, but I got up in here
made it.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
So.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Now what y'all gonna do it? Let's go.
