Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on your ahah, I sure will come Marning everybody
you're listening to the voice, come on dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvey. I got a radio show,
just trying to give God some back, just some back
(00:20):
of what even gave me, just a portion, you know.
Just I'm just trying, man, to to show some type
of gratitude for all his blessings. I'm just trying to, man,
just just get it right sometimes, you know what I mean.
I mean, man, you just can't do what you want
(00:40):
to do and just live wrong all the time. Man,
you gotta at one point in time, Steve, come home. Man,
come on, man, you could do better. I know you can.
You know saying and you know what I had to do.
I had to stop saying I'm gonna try to do better,
and I just had to say, hey, man, I'm going
to do better. You know, trying is just to put
(01:01):
forth in f and then if it don't work, well okay.
But if you make up in your mind that I'm
going to do something, then trying isn't enough. It's getting
it done is the only thing that matters. See, it's
the difference between doing and trying. We're gonna try to
win the game, or we're gonna go out here to
win the game. Now, trying to win the game means
that you could lose. But when you got in your
(01:23):
mind made up, most athletes will tell you that they
go out there with the full intent and purpose of
winning and winning. Only see they don't put the second
place finisher on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Second place
don't get you there. You you got to win. And
now take it out of the scope of athletics, but
keep it in that type of analogy. In life, man,
(01:45):
you just want to You want to win in life,
don't you. I mean, at the end of the day,
don't you want to be on the cover of Sports
Illustrated In life? Don't you want to be recognized for
your hard work. Don't you want, you know, to be
recognized within the bonus down at your job. Don't you
want to have your plaque up on the wall down
at your job. I mean most people do. Some people
(02:06):
could care less. Some people don't care about looking good
or being their best, And that's cool, But I ain't
talking to them though. I'm talking to you. I'm talking
to those of you who want to be the best
you can be. You know, people kill me when they
getting mad at people, and he Brown knows and he
all up on the employee of the month man, the
dude doing his job to the best of his ability,
(02:27):
and he getting recognized for it. What they got to
do with all that you're talking about? Because you ain't
up there. There's amazing, man, how people describe other people's success.
He's so lucky. Lucky? Hey, man, do they kind of
get you a little bit when people call you lucky? Well,
let me tell you what luck really is, y'all. Lucky
is when hard work bumps up into opportunity. Some people
(02:48):
call that luck, But hold on, let's think about this.
If you wasn't working hard, an opportunity presented itself, what
would you call that? But see, when you've been working
hard and I'll oportunity presents herself and it bumps up
into each other. Now people want to call that luck,
But hold up, he got to park though the day
ain't paying no attention to. Yeah, that opportunity came by,
(03:08):
But if you had not been working hard and the
hard work had not ran up in the opportunity, what
would you have? No, sir, it's not luck, it's work.
It is work, because there's a scripture that said faith
without works is dead. But my mama was a Sunday
school teacher. She taught me enough. Though. Now I know
difference between right and wrong, just like you do. You
(03:30):
ain't got to you know. It kills me when people
write a strawberry letter? Am I wrong for this? You know? Good? Well,
look at listen read your letter? Are you wrong for this?
You know you're wrong? What you don't need else to
be telling me? You know, but I'm gonna do this anyway.
Well else, hee, Go ahead, though, do what you want
to do. But you know what, y'all, here's the best
advice I can give you. And this is what I
really came to talk about this morning, but I got
(03:52):
sidetracked because I listened. Get out of your own way.
So many of us are blocking our homeless. We just
in our own way. We are in our own way.
And one of the most dangerous ways you can get
in your way is to do it your way, to
get it figured your way, and to lock in on
(04:15):
your way. And this the way it's got to go.
Do you know how many people are blocking their blessing?
Do you know how long I block mind with that
mindset right there. Look, because this the way you do it,
you think that makes it the right way, you think
jazz because you do the thought on it long and hard,
and that's what you really want. Do you really think
that your way is the right way or could that
(04:37):
be a better way? See? Until I started listening to
God and started paying attention to his way, man, I
was spinning my wheels. Man, I was out here so
determined this how I was gonna do it. But you
know I had to learn how to get out of
my own way because just because I could do it
my way didn't mean it was the right way. I
(04:57):
had to get out of my own way. Just get
out your way, man, Now, what what does that mean?
That means, see, set your goals, That means have your dreams.
I'm saying set your goals, man, I ain't saying don't
set goals. Listen to me. Set your goals. What is
(05:19):
it you want to happen? What is it you like
to have? What is it you like to be? What
do you aspire to? Set your goals and set your dreams. Now,
take your goals and your dreams to God and ask
God to show you how. Man, you can save yourself
a lot of pain. Listen to somebody who did it
(05:42):
his way for so long. And when I finally got
out of my way, out of my own way. When
you've heard old people say let go and let God,
you've heard them say that I didn't. I didn't get it,
but I got it. Now, let go and let God.
And it's amazingly saying no. Now, you know you may
not get it now. It took me a bunch of
(06:03):
years to get it too. But when I took my
goals and my dreams and my vision to God and
I said, God, this is what I hope for, this
is what I aspired to, this is what I want
to be, this is why I would love to get to.
Then I said, help me, show me how, point me
in the right direction. Let me follow your footsteps, guide
(06:25):
me and give me a spirit of discernment. Show me
who wrong? Because I meet people every day. Ain't up
to no good with me? Every single day. Oh man, man,
I can't believe I wonna been to you. Man, the
Lord told me something was gonna happen to me today. Well, see,
I talked to him every day. He did not mention
you to me. He ain't said nothing to me. He
(06:46):
didn't tell me what was gonna happen in mine. Now
I don't mean it can't happen because I'm open to it.
So really, man, I'm proud, and please know I'm listening
as well as I've ever listened before. But get yourself together, though,
see know your goals and your dreams, and then let
God show you how to do it. He'll do it.
You know. It's so important, everybody, that you get focused,
(07:09):
that you aim for something, that you dream of, something,
that you aspire to something. But it's the most the
best thing you can do. After you do all that, Man,
get God involved in it. Man, talk to him. I mean,
why would you not what you got to lose. You
ain't got to go down there and make no big
scene and run laps around the church and run up
there and throw yourself on the altar and scream and
(07:31):
flip over and throw money in the ad. You ain't
got to do that. This you and God, Man, This
you and God. You know you got to serve and
praise Him the way you do it. You gotta let
nobody else tell you how it's done. It's a personal relationship.
People kill me if you don't do it this way.
If you don't come here to this church, and you
don't run around in this circle, and you don't get
flipped in the an, you don't, Hey man, you better
(07:51):
go have a relationship with God. See what that's about,
you understand, or nobody throw you off with all that.
All right, all right, y'all talk to him. He loved
to hear from you. Today to the Steve Harvey Morning
