Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, uh huh, I sure will come onring everybody
you're listening to the voice, come on, dig me now,
one and all that. Steve Harvey man oh man got
a radio show, yep. Trying to make it work too.
I'm not trying. I'm I'm getting it. I'm getting it
done to the best of my abilities. Now, something funny
(00:24):
my father taught me. He says, So when you've done
all you can do, if you've done your absolute best
and you look up and it didn't get the job done,
take a deep breath and do some more. That used
to bug me, man, when my father used to tell
(00:47):
me that is the son, when you've done your absolute
best and you think you can't do no more, you've
done all you can and it still don't get the
job done. Take yourself a deep breath and do some more.
And you know what I found that has worked every
(01:07):
single time, every single time, because what my father knew
was that what you think is your breaking point, or
what you think is your all in all, he says, son,
it's just something about it. Man, If you just gather yourself,
(01:28):
you got a little bit more. Everybody got some more,
and I you know, I gotta be honest with you.
It has worked. It has helped me greatly, and you
know it. Everybody does have some more, you know. I
tell that to my sons all the time. Dad, I
did my best. Well, let mens you something else. Could
(01:51):
you have done anything else? Could you have studied a
little harder, Could you have shown up a little bit earlier,
could you stayed a little bit later? Yeah, well then okay,
that's what you should have done. There. See, there's always
a way. But if you're going to create excuses, if
you're gonna make them up all the time about why
(02:12):
you don't get it done, I have a very, very
sad a statement for you right now. You're never gonna
get anything done. You're never gonna get to the top,
not to the top. You can get halfway up now,
you can get a third of the whey up, you
can get three quarters of the whey up. But if
you don't have that little extra reserve in you, you're
(02:35):
not getting to the top. The top is only reserved
for those that have the wherewithal and the power to desire,
the drive and the gut riching effort to get to
the top. The top is reserved only for the top
it's just the top. There ain't but one top. Then
(02:56):
the middle done, ain't it? You know? The top, the
top of the mountain halfway is a different view. At
the top, things look different from up top. So if
you want to get to the top of whatever your profession,
your field, your career, whatever it is, you got to
(03:17):
do extra. You have to do more. More is expected
of you. More, but his what's really crazy, More is
required of you. Don't live your life in the lasadaisical state.
Don't wake up every day with the feeling of, well,
you know, whatever happens happens, Na, man, have a say
(03:38):
so in your life. You. First of all, let me
ask you something. Who has God? Name the person that
God has given authority over you? Name the person? But
who is the person? Nobody has domain over you? God
didn't create that person? So what you sitting here for?
(04:00):
Oh man, what are you sitting here for? Letting people
who do not know direct your path? Why are you
worried about all these people with what they got to
say about you and all these people with what they
got to think about you? When here's the news flash,
they don't know either. All these people that you overly
(04:21):
concerned about all these people that you go into these
answers for, they need answers to stop. What are you
doing here? Gather yourself for a minute. Here is a
solution to all of that. You have one source that
will be there for you to the end of time,
(04:43):
and that is your relationship with God. That is the
one thing that's solid and for show. He's behind the wall.
He's in your jail cell. He rides with you in
the police car. He's with you on your job up
at the school. He's down there in meetings with you.
He goes with you when you travel on planes. He
(05:04):
sits with you when you're in a relationship. He helps
you with your parenting skills. He helps you. He's there
to assist you. He show if you do the right things,
he show you and guide you to your next job.
When you lose your job and you think it's a rap,
there's some good behind it. Man. God is always working
on your behalf. To those that believe, you, just gotta believe.
(05:26):
He don't ask you for nothing else. Believe in me.
That's all he asks you to do. What you're tripping for. Man.
And then when you make the decision to believe in
him and it comes out your mouth from time to
time somewhere. What you're worried about, what people say, What
you're worried about, what they think? For? Why who are they?
They need God? To you telling them you found something
(05:48):
new that you're gonna give this a shot right here.
Now they got some yang yin yang and some yak
ofy yak to say about that when they need God too.
That's what amazes me, man about people sit up in here, man,
be knocking your dream and stuff. Look, if you're an atheist, man,
do your thing, do your thing, But you can't create
no laws? Why I can't do mine? That don't make
(06:09):
no sense, man, that makes no sense at all to me.
You have the right to go be whatever you want
to be. You know if you don't, you don't like
the fact that I'm in school, got my head bowed
down and I'm saying a prayer for I take this test.
Just don't buy your head. Don't you pray? But if
some kids want to get together, that's some crazy mess.
(06:29):
That's what happened in our schools. We took prayer out
of schools, and now look at our schools. You send
your child to school and someone else comes back home.
That's a whole nother thing right here. That's not what
I want to talk to you about. But I was
just throwing it out because you know, hey, man, your
relationship with God is essential to your success as a person.
(06:51):
It's essential to your existence. It's essential to where you're
trying to go and what you're trying to be. Because
He made you, Why would you not talk to the
person that made you to find out what he created
you for. I ain't talking about your parents, who made
your parents? This is God, we created in his image.
(07:12):
Why would you not talk to your maker to see
why you got made? That don't make sense to you.
If you're sitting and gotten yourself in a situation, you
sitting in the jail cell somewhere, you locked up, you
doing some time, man, be a good time for you
to reflect. But whatever your situation is, Man, God can
(07:33):
get you through it. He can give you the strength,
the courage to wherewith all the understanding everything you need,
the wisdom to get you through anything you're going through.
You just got a touch base with him. I need
God every single day of my life and what He's
done for me. Man, off the chain. But guess what
(07:57):
he'll do the same thing for you. It's a Steve
Harvey Morning Show.
