Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Uh-huh.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
I 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'll share
something with your principle of becoming successful at whatever level
(00:28):
you choose. It can be successful in a relationship, successful
in a family. Success may be considered to you becoming
a homeowner. It could be being debt-free. Your ideal success
could be $ 60, 000 a year, $ 50, 000 a year, $ 100, 000 a year.
(00:49):
It 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 going to say the
beginning of it today.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
See, scripture.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Makes 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.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
God wouldn't do that to you.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
He puts the core basis of everything you need inside
of you. So if you discover it, if you tend
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,
(01:48):
last longer.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
But in the very beginning, you don't need anything. It's
all within you. And if you cultivate your relationship with God,
it comes out. It flourishes.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
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. Everybody has a gift. Had somebody told me
what I know now, back then, I would have saved
myself tons of mistakes. I just didn't know the principles.
(02:23):
I had to learn them all. Well, one of the
principles of 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 can tell you what to do, but you got
(02:43):
to make the decision. You that's listening have to decide,
you know what? I'm going to go on and get
at it. I'm going to stop renting. I'm going to
become a homeowner. You know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to stop living check to check. I'm going
to put a budget together. I'm going to stop stepping
out on my family.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I'm going to go home. I'm going to get it together.
I'm going to stop using. When you make these decisions.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
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 February, over with by mid-January,
done in March? Because if you don't have a clear
(03:32):
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 with whatever the resolutions are you made.
So he can, so you can consider yourself not worthy
or failure or unable.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
To do something.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
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 the process. Your mindset is also a wheel of yours,
a wheel along with the decision, a wheel, a willingness
(04:15):
to do right, a willingness to change, a willingness to
be better.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
It's going to then.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Cause you to have to make a decision to make
a change of direction.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Don't go where.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
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
(04:51):
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 me that I can possibly be.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
To be the best self that I can possibly be,
to be.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
The best father, the best man, the best husband, 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.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
That's an obligation.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
You owe that to yourself. Why would you not live
the best life that you possibly could? You have an
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.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
All the riches out there that's available to you.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
But one of the worst ways that you can rob
yourself 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 will
(06:21):
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.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
It's cool. You got a nice little house. That's cool.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
You know how many big houses is empty and filled
with hate and resentment? I'd rather have a smaller house
filled with joy in it than to go to a
big house. Man, Prince got a line in the song
that says, I realized in his best disguise, a pretty
house don't make a home. Man, don't you know I
(07:07):
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.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
What are they? What are your goals and your visions?
What do you see for yourself? What do you dream about?
If you knew you.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
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.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
It's a will.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
It's a change of direction. It's an obligation to yourself.
It's taking dead aim at your life's visions and goals.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Come on, man.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
You got to get your mind wrapped around this thing.
You owe it to yourself to live the best life
you can be.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Come on, man.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Talk to God. God got something for you. You just
got to check in with him.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
