Speaker 1 (01:58):
Come out you think that. Uh huh, sure will Good
morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on, dig
me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Well,
I got to tell you something everybody, and this is
great news for everybody that I'm going to share something

(02:21):
with your principal of becoming successful at whatever level you choose.
It can be successful in the relationship, successful in the family.
Successes may be considered to you becoming a homeowner. It
could be being debt free. Your ideal success could be

(02:43):
sixty thousand a year, fifty thousand a year, one hundred
thousand dollars a year, doesn't matter if you're considering it,
if you're wanting it, if you have a desire to
become successful. I want to share with you the very
beginning of that. If no one's ever done it. I'm
gonna say the beginning of it today. See scripture makes

(03:08):
it very clear for us that you don't The only
thing you need to become successful is already inside of you.
It's not an external need. God wouldn't do that to you.
He puts the core basis of everything you need inside
of you. So if you discover it, if you tend

(03:33):
to it, nurture it, fertilize it, and water it, it grows,
it branches out. Then it reaches out externally and it
starts grabbing things outside of there to make it even bigger, stronger, better,
last longer. But in the very beginning, you don't need anything.
It's all within you. And if you cultivate your relationship

(03:56):
with God, it comes out, it flourishes. Now, let me
tell you that thing that I'm talking about is a
God given gift that He has given to all of us.
We all possess it. It is all within us, and
everybody has a gift. Had somebody told me what I

(04:16):
know now back then, I would have saved myself tons
of mistakes. I just didn't know the principles. I had
to learn them all well. One of the principles are
becoming successful is your mindset. You got to get your
mind right now. This mindset is simply a decision that
you can make. I can't get it for you. I

(04:39):
can tell you what to do, but you got to
make the decision. You that's listening, have to decide. You
know what, I'm gonna go on and get at it.
I'm gonna stop writing. I'm gonna become a homeowner. You
know what. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna stop living
check to check. I'm I'm I'm gonna put a budget together.
I'm gonna stop stepping out on my phone. I'm gonna

(05:00):
go home. I'm gonna get it together. I'm gonna stop
using when you make these decisions. That's correcting your mindset. Now.
The closer connection you have with God, the more help
you get sustaining the mindset. How many times have you
started to do something and you stopped? How many resolutions
have you made at the New Year and stopped by

(05:22):
February over with by me? And January done in March?
Because if you don't have a clear connection with your
creator to help you carry out the other force out there,
that evil force is designed to get you not to
reach your goals. Get you not to come to resolution

(05:42):
with whatever the resolutions are you made, so he can
so you can consider yourself not worthy or failure or
unable to do something. But the more things you are
able to accomplish, the greater your confidence goals grows. So
we got to get your mindset together. Your mindset is
a decision that you have to make. When you make
the decision, you can begin in the process. Your mindset

(06:05):
is also a will of yours, a will along with
the decision, a will, a willingness to do right, a
willingness to change, a willingness to be better. It is
going to then cause you to have to make a
decision to make a change of direction. Don't go where

(06:27):
everybody else going. You got to go your way. Now.
You can't follow the crowd. You got to take a
less travel path. You cannot do this without changing your direction.
You can't keep hanging with the people you've been hanging
with if you want to be different, because they not.
Then you have to develop an obligation to yourself. You've

(06:49):
got to say, you know what for me and my family,
or if you don't have a family, for me, I
owe it to myself. I have an obligation to myself
to be the best means that I can possibly be,
to be the best self that I can possibly be,
to be the best father, the best man, the best husband,

(07:10):
the best wife, the best mother, the best daughter, the
best son, the best student, the best employee, the best owner.
You have an obligation to yourself to give yourself a
shot at the best life you can. That's an obligation.
You owe that to yourself. Why would you not live
the best life that you possibly could. You have an

(07:33):
obligation to yourself. Why would you cheat yourself like that?
Why would you take yourself and never allow yourself to
see the goodness that's already in you, to have the
abundance that's been promised to you, to go and explore
all the riches out there that's available to you. But

(07:56):
one of the worst ways that you can rob your
self of the joy of your obligation is to keep
comparing yourself to somebody else. Because guess what, Man, that
ain't your life. You ain't Jay Z and Beyonce, you're
not Oprah. Instead, man, that's not who you are. Quit
looking around at everybody else. That comparison of everybody else

(08:19):
will keep you broken, It'll keep you unhappy. You won't
even be able to be grateful for what you have
because you steady talking about what you don't have. That's
not the way, man. You have an obligation to yourself
to be the best you you can be, not the
best them. You're not them. Stop trying to be them.
Be the best you. It's cool. You got a nice

(08:41):
little house. That's cool. You know how many big houses
is empty and feel with hate and resentment. I'd rather
have a smaller house fill with joy in it than
to go to a big house. Man. Prince got a
line in the song that says, I realized, in its
best disguised a their house don't make a home. Man.

(09:04):
Don't you know I know how true that is? So
I'm just trying to tell you now. Another part of
the mindset is taking dead aim at your life's goals
and ambitions. What are they? What are your goals and
your visions? What do you see for yourself? What do

(09:24):
you dream about? If you knew you couldn't fail at
whatever it is you were attempting, what would you go attempt? See?
That's what we need to be after it's a mindset, y'all.
It's a decision. It's a will. It's a change of direction.
It's an obligation to yourself. It's taking dead aim at
your life's visions and goals. Come on, man, you got

(09:46):
to get your mind wrapped around this thing. You owe
it to yourself to live the best life you can be.
Come on, man, talk to God. God got something for you.
You just got to check in with him. You'resting morning
