Speaker 1 (01:58):
Come on you uh huh, I sure will.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Good morning everybody you are listening to the voice, come
on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey, ah
got a radio show you know today. I was thinking
of what I would say today and it just dawned
on me this way, and I just want to share
this with everybody listening. You've got to get some help
to make it through life. I cannot imagine where I
(02:25):
would be if it was not for the help of
my God, if it wasn't for his grace and mercy,
if I did not have the ability to lean on
him and all the times I've had to lean on him,
which has become a daily basis. I have no idea
where I would be, but clearly I know for a
(02:46):
matter of fact, I would not be here today.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
You have got to get some help to get through
this thing. Called life.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I am begging you to look into it. Man, you've
got to form a relationship with God. Without a relationship
with God, this thing called life is daunting at times.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I don't care who you are.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I know I'm speaking the truth right now, because listen,
no matter who you are, what job title you have,
what aspirations you may have, I don't care what your
educational background is or is not. It does not matter.
If you don't get a real relationship going on with God.
I don't see how you can make it. So many
(03:26):
people are faking in fronting out here like they got
it going on, and you don't know, And you really
don't know how many people that you think in your
neighborhood had it going on because you saw a car
pull up in the driveway, or they house look bigger,
or the grass is cutting nicer, and you only find
out that a foreclosure sign on they house too.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
See, you don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
The mask that people put on to parade around in
is for appearance sakes. So a lot of people you
looking at that you think got it going on. Who
might be the pattern of success that you wan a trace?
You got to be real careful with that because it
may not be as it appears to be, but one
thing is for sure, no matter what's going on in
(04:08):
your life, I know that behind whatever mask I'm wearing,
or I realized, no matter what the appearances may be,
that on the other side of me, I'm gonna be
just fine. See.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
You may be outwardly people hating on you, talking about you, dragging.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Your name through the mud. Look, man, people can say
stuff about you. Most people talking about you don't even
know you. They just participating in it. You can have
that appearance going on, but behind you, within you, if
you have a relationship with God, it don't matter because
you can be all right. I've seen it get real
stormy on the outside for me, but on the inside
(04:50):
I just had to feel and I was gonna be
all right.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
See. That's what the relationship gives you, man.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
It gives you the confidence to know that the things
that you're going through a temporary that is just the
space that you happen to be in. Like I said
the other day, you got to remember something. The road
to success is always under construction. You might as well
get ready for that if you plan it on changing,
getting better, doing something about your health. If you decide, Hey, look,
(05:19):
I just would like to live a longer, more prosperous life,
or hey I want to make X amount of dollars,
or hey man, I'm gonna stop staying out in these
streets and I'm gonna come home and treat my family
way they ought to be treated. I don't care what
decision you make. When you strike out on that road
to success, it's under construction, partner. That's barrels out there,
there's wide turns, there's detours.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
It's me and out there holding signs saying slow down.
Sometimes they put the stop sign up. You got to
wait and watch people go by you on the other side.
Then before you can take off again. You've all been
on the road with construction on it. It can be
so frustrating. And the whole you on that road. I know,
when I'm on the road we can under construction. I'm
(06:04):
always thinking of an alternative path. I ain't ever set
in traffic under construction, man, and thought of if I
get off on this exit, where would it take me?
Not knowing, but just man, could I keep moving if
I go that way? That's a dangerous thing sometimes, see,
because oftentimes when we get off the road to success,
(06:25):
and we take that other path, we get further and
further off course, because wasn't no detourls signed for that,
just a decision I made on my own because I
don't like sitting here sometimes I don't have the patience
I ought to have, so I've taken some what I
thought might be shortcuts. But I got to tell you something,
ain't no shortcuts on the road to success. Even the
detour signs wind up taking you a little bit out
(06:48):
your way, and look back round. I remember one time
I was coming from Las Vegas and that was some
type of chemical spill in a truck and you could
all see the smoke up ahead in very faint. So
they detoreed us through the desert and we had to
go all the way around, and I drove, man like
(07:09):
an hour and a half out of the way, and
when they entered us back on the freeway where we
were to go back to La soon as I got
it that exit to get back on the freeway, I
looked right there and there the accident was. Now it
was an hour and a half hour forty five all
the way around in that desert to get back to
(07:30):
almost the same place.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
But it was the best way to go because see,
that was the route to take.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
And that's what you got to understand about trying to
make the right decision to be successful, that the road
to success is always under construction. You're gonna have to
go round a little bit, so quick, stop being impatient
with I don't want to go around.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I'm gonna go this way. You go that way if
you want to just follow the detour science.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
See, because somebody that came up this road before you have,
somebody travel the road already and they took the way around,
and yeah, it seems like it's a longer way, and
you want to make that other decision. But stay on
the road to success. It's under construction, man, That's just
the way it goes. Don't lose your patience and try
to create a shortcut for yourself. I'm gonna go away.
(08:17):
Ain't nobody ever gone way? Hold up, Pardoner, you really
think you're gonna do that?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
There's oftentimes a lot of rewards when you go the
least travel path, But the road to success is the
least travel path. That's what you keep getting mixed up.
You keep thinking if you go another way, No, no,
stay on the road to success. That is the least
travel path. It's under construction. You can go out there
with your machete if you want to talking about cutting
(08:43):
new trails. You think the road to success is under construction,
take the other route and get that machete out and
see how long you be out there trying to cut
a path. Sometimes, Man, you just got to stay patient.
The road to success has been traveled before by millions
of people in front of you, everybody that has some
(09:04):
setbacks in life. But don't get off the road to
success just because you having some setbacks, just because you
see some orange barrels up, just because there's some men
out there with vest on what they got to do
with you?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Everybody, everybody that's trying to be successful, is on that road.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Your relationship with God helps you guide yourself around the barrels.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
It helps you have the patience to go around that way.
He gonna get you back where you gotta be. But
you got to go out there so you can learn
some things.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
See, you need God to make it in life, because
the road to success is always under construction. He calms
you down when the barrels is up. He lets you
know it's gonna be all right. He rewards you with
the patience to finish because he gonna get you right
back where you need to be and you can get
on which way you is going.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Okay, all right, Joam, we're gonna try that today. You're
listening The Hardy Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
