Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody,
y'all listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Man got a radio show because God is in a
blessing business.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
I just happened to be a recipient.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
I just happened to got a couple of things right,
and man, his grace and mercy carries you the rest
of the way. All you got to do is get
a couple of things right, and then his grace and
his mercy will take over his favor, his love of you.

(00:41):
It's it's already evident. I mean, you know, because so
many times we go along without even acknowledging him or
conferring with him in our decisions, and we look up
when we find ourselves in a predicament and He always
comes comes to the rescue. He always manages to show up.
He's never too late, he's never one minute too late.

(01:04):
And so in light of this today I wanted to
talk to you about something. It's another principle of success
that I'd like to share with everybody this morning. And
once again, these are not things that you don't know
or you've never heard before. These are just reminders along

(01:25):
the way. And one of the things you have to
be conscious of is don't be afraid to change. Don't
be afraid to change because change is coming anyway. See,
I have a theory, don't be afraid to change because
change is coming anyway. You know, everything changes, nothing remains

(01:46):
the same nothing, and change is inevitable. Now, you could
participate in the change, or you can react to the change.
Are you following me? You can participate in the change
or you can react to the change. But don't be

(02:07):
afraid to change because change is coming anyway. Now, what
I mean by that is this in participating in the
change or reacting in the change, there is a difference.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
See, if you react to the change, that means the
change has.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Occurred and now you have to make the necessary adjustments
to the change. Example, the boss walks in, You think
your job is good. The boss walks in and hands
you a pink slip. That right there, that's a change.
Now you didn't participate in this change because you didn't
ask for the pink slip, But now you got to

(02:46):
react to the pink slip. Whenever you have to react
to the change, it's an adjustment period. It almost throws
you off. So change is going to come. It always does.
You could participate or you can react. Or let's say

(03:11):
your boss comes in and hands you the pink slip,
and you said, you know what I've been preparing for
this day?

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Always knew nothing.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Last forever, I've been working on the sideline on the
business idea I had, and I had, or I had
several other applications in around town. I was just holding
off to see what was going going. So when they
hand you the pink slip, the transition, the adjustment you
make is a lot more smooth transition because now you

(03:41):
just transition into your new business idea that you've been
working on. Are you transitioned into the apps you already
had in or the contacts you made the preparation for
when the day they come in hand you the pink slip, Well, Steve,
what did they surprise you with it? This is just
one example I'm giving you.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
So you know, let's Nick picked the message.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
So what I'm saying to everybody is, don't be afraid
to change, because change is coming anyway. So many people
are stuck in a rut because of our refusal to change.
I was hell bent on a certain thing going a
certain way, and this is how it was gonna go. Well,

(04:24):
that that I was thinking didn't really fit. Now, in
my own personal experience, this may not be yours, but
in my own personal experience, the things that I've had
the most trouble letting go of was something I wanted.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
When I line.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Myself up with the will of God to ask God
what he wanted from me. You understand, those things came
a lot more easy to me because it was in
the will of God. It was what God wanted me
to do too. Okay, see what you mean by that? Okay,
here we go. Things were going wrong in relationships.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
For me.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
What I did was the biggest mistake I've ever made.
Was I attempted to fix what was wrong in my
relationship outside of the relationship.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Feel me.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Okay, So I'm out there working my groove like I
want to. Well, now, guess what, there's a cause and
effect for all of that too. Your house ain't gonna
get better, it can't. And then that lays room for
some other things. And so now that when the change come,

(05:37):
guess what I got to react to it? Now, I gotta,
I gotta, I gotta have a reaction to it. Had
I lined myself up in the will of God, the
transition may have gone differently. It could have still ended
the relationship. But guess what, some of the pain I's
in I ain't had to go through. I bought a

(06:00):
lot on myself. Sometimes you're pursuing a passion of yours,
and what God really wants you to do is pursue
your gift. So now you're pursuing your passion, right, you
passion about golf. You love golf so much, you just determine.
But now you're done messed around. You ain't made it

(06:21):
on the PGA Tour yet, and you forty five, still
talking about I'm gonna play on the PGA Tour. Really okay,
Maybe you ain't as good as this you think, or
maybe you're not as gifted as you think.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Maybe you're pursuing a passion.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Sometimes, man, we have to change and we have to
ask God what is his will? His will is much simpler.
It's a simpler roule. Not going to be easier, it's simpler.
See when I wake up now, it's simple for me
to wake up because I know that are few things
that I have to do. I have to click this

(06:56):
mic on. I have to be positive, I have to
be aspirit, I have to be informative, I have to
be uplifting.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Got it, That's what he wants.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
All I got to do is sit down, close my eyes,
ask God to help me be who he want me
to be, and for the most part, he tell me
what to say. Now, guess what he's done though, to
create this in me. I went through enough things in
my life. I had enough challenges. I made plenty of mistakes.

(07:27):
So now at my age, I can turn around and
tell somebody listening to me, Okay, this is what I did.
This is a mistake I made. Maybe you see yourself
in this story right here. Maybe you don't have to
go this way. Or this is what I've learned about
becoming successful. Here's a principle that I learned. But then,
guess what I had to be unsuccessful to get it though,
didn't I? So you can't have a testimony without a

(07:48):
test Change is coming. It's inevitable. You can participate or
you can react. I much prefer to participate in the change.
All right, let's go.
