Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on your uh huh, I sure will.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
A good morning everybody you're listening to the voice, Come
on dig me now. One and only Steve Harley got
a radio show. I have something, and it so describes
how I was living. It so captures the feelings that
I had about beginning on the pathway of my dreams.
(00:27):
It so describes how I felt when I was about
to attempt something. And I have some striking news for you.
It describes often how I feel still today to a degree.
So let me tell you what that is. Here's an
analogy that I've heard a couple of different ways, but
(00:49):
I've kind of, you know, fixed it around to where
I can drink it better, and I think it fits
my personality to describe it to people best this way.
Talked often about the urgency of doing something with your life,
of getting started today, of stopping the procrastination and putting
(01:10):
it off, and waiting on all your ducks to line
up in a row, and waiting until the.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Stars aligned themselves.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
If you're waiting on such a thing, you're never gonna
get started. I don't know too many people who can
say that all the ducks just lined up in the row.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Things happen.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Even when you get them lined up, one of the
ducks get out of line, or somebody knock over the domino.
Something happens. But here's the point I'm getting at. God
has so many blessings available to you. You who's listening.
God has so many blessings available to you from where
(01:51):
you are right now. I don't care what you've gotten
yourself into or what you've done. God has so many
blessings that he can send your way.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
But you have to do something.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
See a lot of people just sit around and go man,
I don't know, and something always happening to you. You're
always getting a break, You're always doing this. You always
doing man, do nothing come my way. Listen to me.
If nothing ever comes your way. You know why that is.
It's because you're not doing anything. I promise you you're not.
Here's a deal. God has all these blessings he wants
(02:29):
to send you, but you got to give him something
to work with. Now, come on, God will bless you.
God can touch people's hearts on your behalf. He can
move situations around for you. He can align the stars.
He can set the ducks up in the row, but
align the stars and move people around, and touch people's
hearts and set the ducks up in the row. For
(02:52):
what have you put forth any effort? Have you made
a single step in any direction to do the right
thing or go to the right way that gives him
something to put his finger on. Come on, man, God
can only bless you according to your faith. If you
have a little bit of faith, give him that, Let
(03:13):
him work with that. You know, man, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Always start with these speeches you hear in the morning.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Now. I ain't always had these. I grew to these.
I stumbled my way to these. I messed up my
way to these here. I got it wrong so many
times to be able to sound like I got some sense,
I said it often.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Failure is a wonderful teacher.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Do you know how many times I have had to
have failed to have what I have in my head today?
I'm telling you, man, it's a process. People get mad
at the process. You got to do something to give
God something to work with. He'll bless you. But what
you want me to bless If you ain't putting forth
any effort, you can get blessed from whoever you are
(03:56):
in your life, wherever your starting point is wherever you
find your wound up, you can get it back from there.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I've done it, man, by the grace of God, I've
done it. I got over. Man. I learned some things
along the way. Because here's the deal.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
As long as God keeps waking you up in the morning,
he ain't through with you yet.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
When he's done, you're done.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
But if God still has a plan for you wake
up in the morning, he still got some more work
for you to do.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
You wake up in the morning.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
So if you keep waking up, man, it's something that
God wants from you, would love to have from you,
and he can work with you, man, if you just
walk towards him a little bit.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Here's the deal.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I know it's hard for the average person to start
because the fear of the unknown is incredible.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
What if I fail? What if I don't get picked?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
You know, one of the hardest things I ever did
was walking in to quit my job. Oh man, let
me tell you about that day when I decided that
I was gonna be a full time comedian after winning
an amateur night one time. Quitting your job, following your dream,
going for it despite all the nay says, It's like
(05:06):
stepping off a cliff. It's like actually just walking off
the edge of a cliff, hoping, hoping.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Now not really knowing, but hoping.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Hoping is the bad basis of faith. I stepped off
that cliff hoping that my parachute would open and allow
me to drift down.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
See.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I've never scott dived before, but I would imagine part
of the thrill. And I don't know this because I'm
not going to scot dive to find out. I think
part of the thrill for people is the danger part
of throwing yourself out a plane and how it feels
to be free falling, but the whole time they're free
falling having this exhilarating over the top moment. You have
(05:58):
got to believe in your heart of heart, you have
got the hope with everything in you that when you
pull this cord the shoot opens or else. This ain't
a good move at all. But you've packed your shoote yourself.
You've taken the lessons, so you go ahead and you
make the leap. Now, the only thing about quitting your
job and following your dream is you ain't really been
(06:19):
trained all that good for this. You done packed your shoot,
but you ain't never opened it before. So I walked
off this cliff. That's what it was like. And you
following your dreamers like you walking off a cliff. Here's
the part where people don't never make the jump. They
see somebody like myself who jumped off the cliff and
the past chute don't open right away, and I hit
(06:41):
a couple of rocks on the way down.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I got my back cut up pretty bad.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
They see that three years living in a car, man,
he got in life toe down jumping off that cliff.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I ain't jumping off that cliff. But see what you
don't understand is you don't know it.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
But eventually the shoot will open, and I'm at the
parachute opening part of my life, man, where the shoote
then open and I'm drifting and I'm able to guide
my chute over to Paris and glide. I've glided over
the African and seen what it looked like. It's a
slow ride down when the pass chute finally opened or
(07:18):
and my back didn't heal too and the cuts.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
That I had on me, I remember now I know
how to stay away from the edge.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
But the Paris chute then opened and I'm enjoying my
life for the first time. I'm gliding, but I got
hit up against the rock. I can see more. I
get a chance to see more things. I get to
glide and see more parts of the world. I'm living
my dream. Your parachute is gonna open, but I'll tell
you one thing for shore, It'll never open if you
(07:45):
don't step off that cliff. You got to step off
that cliff. God to get the pasachute open for you.
But you got to jump, baby. That's the hard part,
ain't it now? Question is the end of this story
right here today?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
When you jumping, you're listening to the Steve Morning Show.
