Speaker 1 (02:04):
You are listening to the voice, Come on now, digny
want and only Steve Harvey got what radio show man?
What you're doing with it? Trying to do the very
very best I can with it? I really am. You know,
I get tired sometimes on my journey. I'm not gonna
kid you. Trying to make something about yourself is a task.
(02:33):
If you want to attempt to do something, and and
understand going in that that if the thing you're trying
to do is to improve yourself, to better your position,
to better your relationship, your family, anything, you're trying to
be a better you. You're trying to make more money,
(02:56):
you're trying to get it together, you're trying to change
if any of those things are in your hopes and dreams,
know this right, here. You are about to face some challenges.
But you might as well go ahead anyway and face
those challenges, because if you don't, you have a whole
(03:19):
other set of challenges to face. You know, It's an
amazing thing, man, how people sit around and they watch
other people strike out to become successful. They sit in
the stands watching these people play out these games, and
they and they and they criticize, They boo, they laugh
at their efforts and everything, and they talk about the failuse.
(03:42):
He missed that game when he shot boy, he sunk man,
he did this. He ain't worth that. I hear people
who sit in stands who criticize people who are out
there on the playing field. Now, when you're on the plane,
you have a set of challenges in front of you.
(04:03):
You're going to be open to criticism. You're going to
be open to ridicule. You're going to be talked about
when you don't know the people who are talking about you. Now,
here's the upside to being the player on the field
that's facing all the challenges, to criticisms, the laughing, the joke,
(04:27):
to being talked about. He has something going for him.
This person, boy, woman, child, girl, man has an opportunity
to win. They have an opportunity to win. And in
the game of life, just because you lose one of
(04:50):
the games, or you lose one of the matches, it
don't mean you've lost. You don't get put out. You
keep playing. And when you playing, here's the upside. You
have the opportunity to win. But guess what, You're gonna
win some of the matches. You're gonna win some of
the points. You're gonna make some of the dunks. You're
(05:10):
gonna hit some of them over the wall. You're gonna
hit some out the park. You're gonna score some goals.
You will if you're playing the game. Here's the problem
with the people who don't face criticism, who nobody boos
or cheers for, who sits in the stands and knows
(05:32):
neither victory nor defeat. Those people, without realizing it, are
facing a set of challenges also. And the challenges they're
facing is how I'm gonna live with myself? What I'm
gonna do?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Now?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
What direction am I going in? Where am I gonna live?
Wonder what job will hire me? Wonder if I can
get paid for criticize?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Ah, woe is me?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I can't find the purpose in my life. And man,
I'm just waking up in a state of confusion.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I don't know what to do.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Now, let me ask you something, which one of them
set the challenges you'd rather be faced with? Because if
I'm on the flow playing, if I'm on the field playing,
if I'm out on the court playing, then guess what
I got a chance at winning? But guess what I'm
doing every day while I'm playing. I'm strategizing. I'm waking
(06:41):
up with a purpose. I'm waking up trying to come
up with another angle. I'm in pursuit of a goal
every single day. Versus the people in the stands who
know neither victory nor defeat. Get in the game, face
(07:06):
the challenges. Better yourself, better your wife, better your children,
better your condition, better your employment status, better your job,
better your career. Take a shot. Come on, man, what
you waiting on? Because the alternative is to watch other
people play the game? You know what I just do?
Sometimes Sometimes I just I get Forbes magazine or Money magazine,
(07:29):
or sometimes I still grab a copy of the rob Report.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I just flip through it just to see.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I used to get this book called Unique Homes, Unique
Homes is a magazine that just has a lot of
extravagant houses that's on sale across the country, across the world.
I used to flip through. Man, let me just see, man,
what the people that's playing the game out there doing.
Stop watching other people become successful when you could very
(07:57):
easily be you if you make the decision. But when
you make the decision to become successful, get ready for
a series of challenges. I think it's more difficult not
to accept the challenge. I think it's for me.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
This is just for me.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
It may not be the case for you. For me,
I think it's far more difficult to wake up and
just see how life gonna go today, because man, it
could just deal you any kind of hand today. You understand,
I don't like you know, spades. Let's talk a card
game for example, the game of spades. Really, man, it
ain't a whole lot you can do if you don't
(08:35):
get no spades. Really, it's a little couple of little
strategies you're gonna do. But you can have all this age, king, queen,
diamond all you want. But man, you ain't got no spades.
They cutting them. You're in trouble. Be it with different game.
You can create what's in your hand. You got dealt
a hand too, but you can create a hand, you
(08:56):
can call a trump. You can make diamonds your you
can make hard to clubs your spades. That's what I'm saying.
You can do something with it. It's a different game, man.
You can strategize. I would rather have a say so
in my life than to wake up every day and
just see how it's going. I think it's more difficult
to not accept the challenge to be something than it
(09:18):
is to accept the challenge to be something. I think
it's more difficult to sit around and not be nothing.
I think it's harder to watch everybody life going somewhere
but mine. I think it would be very difficult for
me to sit here and hear them talking about other
people that never mentioned my name. It would be difficult
for me to see everybody rise and getting promotions accept me.
(09:39):
That would be difficult for me. It may not be
for you, but for me it would be quite challenging.
I would rather accept the challenge of making something out
of my life than to sit there and criticize those
and then watch and see how my life just may
go Okay. Just a thought.
