Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
You're listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Well,
nothing changes about that. Nothing changes about that. Man. I
was just getting ready to come on the air this morning.
I was just thinking, Man, I was just having a

(00:28):
reflective moment of just how really good God has been
to me. I just it's it's it's man. Let me
just say that again, how really good God has been
to me. And here's a cold part. In spite of myself,
you understand that, in spite of all my shortcomings, in

(00:52):
spite of all of my flaws.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
And and and and and in.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Spite of all of what anybody has said about me, God,
through his grace and mercy, just keeps me anyway. So
many of us are exceptional people, but we refuse to
just go ahead and be exceptional. We settle for the ordinary.

(01:21):
We follow the pack. We try to fit in.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Man, oh man, oh man.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
You know I've heard my wife say this to my
children all the time when she was scolding him or
talking to him. She'll be talking to him about leadership.
You know, why are you following everybody when God clearly
made you to lead. So many of us are born,
and so many of you are born to be exceptional people,
But we always trying to follow the pack. Why would

(01:50):
you try to fit in? Why would you try to
be like everybody else be ordinary? Why would you follow
the pack act? When God has created you to be exceptional.
The key word in exceptional is except you. Ever you
ever dine this right here? You know, everybody did that

(02:11):
accept me. Everybody felt that way except me. Everybody said
that except me. Everybody won't wanted that, accept me. Everybody
went over that except me. Everybody jumped in except me
except me. See why have you said that in your life?

(02:36):
If you were not to be exceptional? See you got
to say everybody except me at one point in Yo, ta,
I don't know who ain't done it? You know everybody
wanted everybody voted.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
No except me. See so you're not You're.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Not created to follow the pack. You ain't created to
fit in. You ain't created to, uh you know, to
be ordinary. You were we ate it to be exceptional.
As exceptional as your fingerprint on your finger is. You
wire created to be exceptional. Why not make this the
year that you go head on and be exceptional. Why

(03:14):
won't this be the year that you decide in your mind?
But just has to be a decision that we make.
Now we not following the pack no more. We not
trying to fit in no more. We ain't settling for
ordinary no more. We're gonna be exceptional. But you know
you got to go ahead and follow that. You got
to get on the exceptional path because that's what you

(03:36):
were created for.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Why be ordinary? You know?

Speaker 2 (03:39):
But all of this this comes it has to start
with a thought. You got to first think something. Thoughts
become things. A man is as he thinketh That's all
you will ever be. So what are your thoughts today?
Why not have exceptional thoughts instead of ordinary thoughts? I

(04:00):
have exceptional thoughts instead of fitting me in thoughts.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
So why you want to be like everybody else?

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Why you want to be ordinary when you could possibly
be extraordinary with a change of your mind, a change
of your venue, And.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
You don't have to be any other kind of way?

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Just because my mama was this, well, my daddy was
this way, or this the school I went to?

Speaker 1 (04:22):
This?

Speaker 2 (04:22):
What race I belong to? This is my sexual preference,
this is my this, this is my dad how many?

Speaker 1 (04:28):
How many? How many excuses you need? I mean, how
many excuse?

Speaker 2 (04:32):
What? What?

Speaker 1 (04:32):
What?

Speaker 2 (04:32):
What's it gonna be this year that we let another
three hundred and sixty five days slip by without improving
our condition, our place, our spot, our life, the quality
of life we have. We cannot afford to keep letting
all these years go by without changing.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
You're an exceptional person. How many times have you set
up and said, everybody did that? Accept me? You know?

Speaker 2 (05:03):
I was only everybody jumped in except me. I told him,
I knew it. Everybody voted for that except me. And
now look at it, man, it seemed like everybody went
that way except me.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Okay, do you get it?

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Do you understand what's being said to you that all
accept me is? Because couldn't it be? Because you're an
exceptional person? And it's time for you to take control
of that. It's time for you to start thinking different.
It's time for you to start acting on what you think.
It's time for you to start doing something about it.
It's time for you to stop taking each and every

(05:42):
day that God gives us for granted and letting them
go by the wayside like you got plenty more. Well,
you may have plenty more, But guess what what you
wasting the ones you got for?

Speaker 1 (05:54):
I got you.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Young, and you feel like you're gonna live forever. Eh okay, cool,
But let man ask you something. See here go the
part about it. I supose you do live? See see
everybody worrying about dying. But I got news for you.
Suppose you keep on living. You want to keep living
in the condition you in now. You want to keep
living with the money you got now. You want to

(06:15):
keep living with the relationship you got now. You want
to keep living by yourself like you are now. You
want to keep wanting the right relationship, the right man
to the right woman, but you keep getting the wrong one.
You want to keep doing that for the rest of
your life. Problem ain't dying. There's problem is if you
keep on living. Who wants to keep on living just
the way they are right now? And if you could say,

(06:37):
I'm cool, what I am? Just the way I am
right now? In cool, this conversation ain't for you. Ain't
got no problem with that. You know you know what
I say. Greatness ain't for everybody being exceptional. Ain't for
everybody becoming extraordinary. Ain't for everybody heck, becoming successful ain't
for everybody.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
I got it.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
And you can come up with a way to justify
your non exist instance in your ordinary life all you want,
and that's fine and dandy. I ain't got no problem
with it. Because some people just gonna be regular. Some
people just gonna follow the pack, follow the crowd. Some
people just wants to fit in. But if you're not
that person, if you want to be extraordinary, if you

(07:18):
want to be exceptional, if you want to be if
you want a dad to be great at something, and
you got to change your mindset. You got to get
what your creator and find out what he created you for.
You got to quit thinking of things just in your
own thought process. You know, lean not to your own understanding.
I don't know where that is, but it's in there somewhere.
Seeing Once you lean, if you lean to your own understanding,

(07:41):
you know what it's gonna do. It's gonna limit you, man,
it's gonna limit you. Why not see what God got
for you? I would rather know what God got for
me than to think of all the things I could
because I can't out think him out and tried it before.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
All right, it's just the beginning we're gonna have a
good one man. Let's go to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
