Come come on, you'll think, uh, I sure will.

Speaker 6 (02:03):
Good morning everybody you are listening to the voice, Come on,
dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey got a
radio show man. Oh man, oh man? How many times
I got to say that before I get tired of it.
I think it's gonna be a minute, folks. I gotta
be real with you, because boy, that's Steve Harvey, got

(02:24):
a radio show man. Clear indication of how God can
do some unexpected, wonderful things for you, how he leads
your life in directions that you never ever saw coming.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
You know.

Speaker 6 (02:39):
I was talking with somebody the other day and they
were talking about how man, they were young and they
were doing things, and they never knew that the things
that they were doing as a youngster would come and
help help form who they were today as an adult.
This guy is fifty years old. And you know the

(02:59):
same thing for you. If you look back on your
life and all of the things that you've done, it
helped shape you into who you are now.

Speaker 5 (03:08):
This is provided now that you take the positive approach.

Speaker 6 (03:13):
Now when I say look back at your life and
see what you've done, that doesn't mean dwell on the
misfortunate moments, because the misfortunate moments were necessary.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
I know it.

Speaker 6 (03:23):
It's hard to see that when it's happening to you,
but the unfortunate moments are necessary. You know, what really
makes you appreciate summer vacation is winter work. What really
makes you appreciate a walk on the beach is when
it's cold is rained in our side. What really makes
you appreciate when you're up, it's because you've been down.

(03:47):
See if you were up all the time, just the
nature of us as human beings, we would lose our
appreciation for it because it becomes case hurrah, whatever it is, Well,
it is what it is.

Speaker 5 (04:00):
I'm just what what you take it for? Granted, it
becomes expected.

Speaker 6 (04:04):
But what happens in life s is it has so
many twisting turns, and then you learn how to deal
with those twisting turns, which makes you now a more
experienced person. And then when the sunny days come, man,
you go, wow, it's really nice outside. You really want
to appreciate how warm weather. Just stay in a bunch
of cold weather all the time.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (04:24):
I'm just this is really simpler now a loud analogies,
but it helps you along the way. Now here's what
I came to say today to everybody out there. And
this has helped me in my life. I can't tell
you what it's done for me, but a lot of
people are struggling with moving forward with their future, their

(04:46):
future plans, their future goals, their future aspirations, their future hopes,
their future dreams. Just simply that your future wants a
lot of people trying to have a hard time mapping
out their future. Even what I'm gonna do, what I'm
gonna be, what I'm gonna make, how I'm or go

(05:08):
about it? What do I do next? I want to
share something with you that I had to come to
terms with. The quickest way.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
To lose focus on your future is to keep focusing
on your past.

Speaker 6 (05:21):
You know, It's like I said at the beginning, you know,
when I say it's wonderful to look at your life
and review it, because if you look at it, it'll
tell you it really helped shape inform you today as
the person you are now. If you look at it
in a positive sense. But if you dwell in harp
on the negative that's happened to you, then that keeps

(05:44):
you from seeing the good in the incident, every bad
thing that's happened to you, that was a silver lining
behind it. I know people who were on drugs who finally,
man just got sent to prison for stealing because of
their habit. I know Cat Dope. Well, he went to prison.
He told me one time, he says Steve. He said, man,

(06:05):
this is the best thing ever happened to me to
save my life. Now, most people would think, how in
the world is going to prison helpful for you? The
brother said, it saved my life. First of all, it
got me clean. He said, I've been clean for five
years from sitting in here. That's for starters. I'm clean.
I ain't stealing no more. I ain't putting myself in jeopardy,

(06:28):
and I ain't jeopardizing nobody else.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
He said.

Speaker 6 (06:30):
Now, man, I done went to college. I done got
a college degree while I'm in here. Then he was
released from prison, and the brother's life was completely turned around.
He married, he got a family, he got a great job.
He go to work every day. He's a productive citizen.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
I mean.

Speaker 6 (06:49):
So he looks back on his incarceration, even his drug abuse,
and it taught him how to appreciate the things in
life that he had taken for granted and was missing
because he said, man, my life was just in a blur.

Speaker 5 (07:04):
I didn't even know what was going on. He said,
Now I appreciate every day I wake up. That's what
I mean.

Speaker 6 (07:10):
Even in your missteps in life, there is a purpose
for the missteps.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
Every time you fail, there was a reason for the failure.

Speaker 6 (07:20):
See what I had to do was I had to
learn that all of my failures taught me how to
get back up. So I became a very strong and
tough person in getting back up. And then I was
down and out so long that it taught me how
to really appreciate it up. And so I've taken all
of that and used it those experiences that happened to me,

(07:43):
and I became a more experienced person. So next time
when people talk about me, who don't know me. It
don't shake me because everybody not gonna like you. Man,
you might as well go and get on this train
right now. And so what I'm saying to you out
there is makest way to lose focus on your future
is to keep focusing on your past.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
Let it go. Yeah yeah, yeah, he left.

Speaker 6 (08:07):
Sometimes the breakup is the blessing. I know it's hard
to break up because now you're loaneling you by yourself,
But man, but wasn't you in misery when you was
in that? Weren't you in complete misery in that? Now
you kept asking God.

Speaker 5 (08:22):
To fix it.

Speaker 6 (08:23):
But it takes two people to fix a relationship. It
don't just take one. It take two to make a
thing go right. It take two to make it out
of sight. You really do have to have two people
wanting a relationship to work. It can't just be one
person want a relationship, so you can pray about the
relationship all you want. If the other person don't want

(08:43):
you no more and ain't gonna act right, you can't
make him do that or you can't make.

Speaker 5 (08:48):
Her do that.

Speaker 6 (08:49):
But you steady asking God for a new relationship. But
you are yet to be grateful. That you are in
a position to have a relationship, and you keep harping
on the past.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
You don't think you hear that. I'm just a dude
with a show and I hear it all the time.
Let it go, go forward. It's over. You made it,
He bought you through it, you conquered, you survived it.

Speaker 6 (09:16):
Why are you dwelling on it and making it the
cross around your neck when clearly he had removed it
for you.

Speaker 5 (09:24):
Now, all you got to do is come on.

Speaker 6 (09:26):
So if you sit behind them walls, brothers and sisters,
I'm talking directly to you sometimes.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
Man, you just got to get it right. All this
repeat of fender business, that's for? Who is that for?

Speaker 6 (09:38):
How ignorant can you be to keep giving your life
back to the penal system? Be free, man, walk the streets,
do the right thing. Ask God to help connect you.
He could do anything. You think he can't give.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
You a job? Are you serious?

Speaker 6 (09:52):
Man?

Speaker 5 (09:52):
Put some faith on it. Let's move forward, y'all. Let
it go. Let's move Moning show
