Speaker 5 (02:02):
Huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody. You are listening
to the voice, come on dig me now, one and only.
Steve Harvey got a radio show. Yeah, man, Steve Harvey
got a radio show. Trying to do something with it too.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Man. You know, I was having a conversation the other
day with a young person and they were telling me
how they felt that their life was stuck, that their
life was in a rut, that they didn't know what
to do next. And one of the things that was
(02:36):
causing them this sadness or this depression. I mean, they're
really really into something right now. One of the things
that was causing it was the fact that they had
made a list of things they wanted to accomplish by
a certain age, and that age they just had a
(02:58):
birthday recently, and they were looking at the list, and
the list hadn't been fulfilled, and because that list hadn't
been fulfilled, they were really really sad about it.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
One of the things that they had on the list
was marriage, kids, and I don't know everything else that
was on the list, but that was one of them.
And because she had reached a certain age and she
wasn't married, and she didn't have the kids, and she
had just celebrated a birthday, she's gone into this mode
(03:40):
of sadness where it's really really taken a toll on her.
And as I was learning about her situation, I was
thinking about it, and I just wanted to share this
with you all this morning that one of the things
about making a list of about what you want, which
(04:01):
I happen to be a proponent of, I do it myself.
People have dream boards. I have a goal sheet. I've
been doing it for years. It's a wonderful way to
set goals and to keep it in front of you
as a constant reminder. And I always go over this
gold list every day, you know. I mean I go
(04:21):
over it all the time every day. Sometimes I miss
a day here and there, but mostly every day I
pull my goal sheet out and I look at it,
I read it. So I was going to these rallies
and I was learning about, you know, people who are
successful in how they kept their mind writing possible. And
one of the things I learned was to make these
dream boards, these lists, these gold sheets. And in making
(04:45):
a gold sheet, and you make the sheet according to
what you want, think about one thing when you made
your goal sheet, about what you wanted? Does your goal
sheet have on it what God wants from you? Did
you ask in any of this what was His will
in your life?
Speaker 4 (05:05):
You know?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Look, man, what we want oftentimes is not what He
wants for us. And you know, if you're fighting against
what you were created for, if you're fighting against his will,
I mean, what do you want to happen?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
See?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Don't be so hard on yourself when you look at
your goal sheet and you look at what you've not
become what you thought was a great idea. Don't be
so hard on yourself because you just made a minor mistake.
As do most people, we oftentimes make our goals and
set our goals up without ever considering what is it
that God wants from us. We keep talking about what
(05:43):
we want without ever finding out and knowing what it
is God wants for us. Well, guess what, man, maybe
you're fighting against the grain. Maybe you just a salmon
heading upstream. That's a tough fight upstream. Not all salmon's
get up to the spawning grounds, you know. Some of
them don't make it upstream, you know. But all of them,
nearly all of them, except the ones that's killed by pray.
(06:04):
When they're spawn they go out to the ocean. That's
cool because you're going because you're going with the grain.
You're going downstream, you're going with the flow. That's but
when it's time to go against the grain, it's tough.
And a lot of us have just been going against
the grain for all of these years. But you know what, listen, man,
I did it. I know a lot of people who
(06:24):
did it. Very few people get it right from the
very beginning. Man, you got to stumble through life sometimes
sometimes you got to fall through life. You got to
make a lot of mistakes, man, But these mistakes are
not failures. You know, when you fail, it's something. Don't
look at it as a failure. Don't look at yourself
as a failure because you're thirty and your goals ain't
(06:45):
reached that you had on your list. That was your list.
What about the things that's going right? Stop looking at
what you're not, take some time out and thank God
for what you are. How about the fact that you
keep waking up to be thirty? You know you get
the pressed about these birthdays. You really want to throw
yourself in some depression. Miss a birthday, You really got
(07:05):
a problem. Now look at where you are. You keep
reaching birthdays. That's a glorious blessing. You keep waking up.
You got your health, You've accomplished something. Something on your
list is done. People spend too much time on the
negative side, and you're just throwing yourself into depression. So
what you want to be married by a certain age
and you wanted to have kids? Okay, cool, You could
(07:27):
have done all that with the wrong person. There's a
blessing in not being married to the wrong person. There's
a blessing in not having kids and nobody to help
you raise it. There's a blessing in that man. You're
talking to somebody who can tell it to you. You
can marry the wrong person if you want to. I'm
telling you you're gonna be up in some mess. You
can't count on. So instead of being angry because you're
(07:49):
not married, you don't have kids, why don't you thank
God the man? Maybe he spared you from some misery here.
Maybe you could have married the wrong person. Maybe you
have kids and you're not really ready to be a
mother or a far You got to look at the
upside man, Quit looking at what you don't have. Take
some time to thank God for what you do have.
When you do that, you make more room for blessings
(08:09):
to flow into your life. I'm not saying how God thinks,
because I really don't know, but I'm telling you if
a person comes to me and I always give a
person something and they never appear grateful, or they never
say thank you, please know you can quit coming to
me now. I don't notice how God works because I've
(08:30):
gone back to him several times without being grateful of
thanking him, and he's filled my basket up again. So
I really think he's not like that. But I can't
make the call for sure. But I think at one
point in time me it's just me talking. I'd be
a little ticked off at somebody who was always taking, taking, taking,
(08:51):
and never showing any gratitude at one point in time,
I would just stop the flow of the take you know,
you can't take no more from me. That's what I
would do. Now. I'm not calling it like that because
I ain't him, but I know he's merciful, He's full
of goodness and he and he'll forgive you. And thank
God he does that because he's show enough done it
(09:11):
for me. But wow, man, take some time out today
and be grateful for what you have. Stop complaining about
where you not, and think about where you are, and
then take it from there. And the next time you
make a list, make sure on that list you have
God's will. What does he want for you? Does God
create give everybody a gift and a talent. Some of
us never apply gifts and talents. We head off in
(09:33):
another direction. Then you wonder why your life ain't where
it's supposed to be. Have you ever thought about what
God gifted you to do? Have you ever thought about
doing that? And still skip what you want? I wanted
to play in the NBA, but I got to tell
you something. At dribbling and shooting and running all at
one time throwing me off a little bit. You know,
they just so I'm doing what I do. It's pretty cool.
(09:55):
You canna look at it that way? Okay, you're listeners
