Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Do your thing, Big Daddy. Uh-huh. I sure will. Good morning, everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Y'all listening to The Voice. Come on, dig me now.
One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man,
what an amazing blessing God has given me. My health,
my dreams, all of it, God gave it to me.
I accept it. I work hard, but man, oh, man, oh, man,
(00:29):
I work hard is something that he gave me a gift.
And that's what I want to talk to you about today,
because God has gifted everyone. So I can't help but
believe it. You are gifted in some way, something about you.
It's special and unique. That doesn't mean you're the only
one that can sing or you're the only one that
(00:50):
can write or you're the only one that can draw.
You're the only one that can decorate or you're the
only one that can network or you're the only one.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
That's not what it means.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Or you have a great scientific mind or you can
figure things out or you're good at problem solving. You're
not the only one, but you are a unique individual.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Nobody will travel the exact path that you are on.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Nobody will have everything happen in a series of circumstances
in the order that you're going to have it happen
to you.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
That's what I mean when I say that you are unique.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
But now, because you are gifted, you know, you have
something you have to do. You know, there's a scripture.
It's in Proverbs, Proverbs 18 and 16. I've been trying
to be a little bit better at that for you,
you know. So when I have an idea and I
know where it is, I have somebody look the scripture
up for me and hand it to me. So it's
in Proverbs 18, 16, and this is the layman's term
(01:44):
of it. It says a man's gift make room for
him and brings him before great men. It is your
gift that will make room for you. Now, my interpretation
of this is this. Now, I could be wrong. Please
go to your local church, synagogue, temple, mosque, whatever you do,
and go get clarification. But what my gift has done
(02:06):
in making room for me, is I've taken it almost
in the literal sense. My gift has actually made room
for me. It has cleared paths for me. My gift
has opened up doors for me. That's what I've taken
as it'll make room for you. My gift has broadened
my ability to travel. My gift has opened my eyes
(02:27):
to fashion. My gift has caused me to be able
to I'll provide for my family. My gift has caused
me to be able to reach more people. That's what
I'm saying in terms of it will make room for you.
There may be another interpretation. I'm just telling you how
I took it. That has worked out pretty good for
me to that understanding. But I'm pretty sure Bishop Jakes,
(02:50):
Joel Osteen, Kenneth Olmer, you know, got Glenn Staples, Bishop
Glenn Staples. These guys give you a much better understanding
of it. I'm just giving it to you, you know,
where I know how. So, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I just like to keep it right there. But and
then it says that it brings you before great men.
I mean, you know, it's going to take you places.
It's going to take you places you never thought of going.
You're going to meet people because of your gift. I
told my son who two of them are good photographers.
You'll be taking pictures of great men. And then I
(03:22):
mess with him. You already take pictures of your daddy.
You know, I'm messing with him like that. But that's
just me. And I'm just kicking it. But, you know,
but one day, who knows? You could be shooting the president.
You know, you could be shooting some foreign dignitaries. You know,
you could be shooting great sport events. You know, you
never know where it could take you. But that's your gift.
What you got to do is you got to get
to moving, though. See, you can't have your gift and
(03:44):
not do nothing with it. See, you know what that
reminds me of? It's something that my father used to say.
Get up off your butt because you sitting on a
gold mine. He say that all the time. Boy, get
up off your butt and move it because you sitting
on the gold mine. I never really quite got that
when I was little, but now that I'm an adult,
(04:05):
I got it full well. See, a lot of you
are sitting. You're sitting on a talent or a gift
that you have. You're sitting on an ability. I don't
care if it's making cakes or pies. That's a gift, man.
That's a talent. I don't care if it's the ability
to do hair. That's a gift, man. Half of you
are gifted. A lot of us are gifted and we
(04:26):
sitting on it. Looking at other people wondering, what can
I do to make it? You already got something to
make it with. If you would just get up off
your behind, man, quit sitting on that gold mine.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Some of you are tech savvy.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Just a whiz is when it comes to engineering and
putting stuff together and cables and wires and computers and stuff.
And now you steady looking around trying to figure out, man,
wonder what I.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Can go do. How about you go do that? You know, this,
it ain't that hard, man.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
If you would just take note of what God has
given you already, he has given you a gift already.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
He has already given you a talent.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Now, the fact that you ain't using it and you
sitting on your tail somewhere, what not now, who fathers,
what are we talking about? Well, what, what you, you
blaming God for that? Man, I tell you what, I
sit around people all the time who are gifted and
I'm looking at their gifts and they steady complaining about
(05:25):
what they don't have, but will not get up off
their behind and use the gifts that God gave them.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
And it's frustrating.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
It's got to be frustrating for you if you're doing
it because it's frustrating for me when I see it.
So when these people come to me and ask me
for help, I just keep going the same.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Thing over and over. Help yourself. Man, do for you.
Use your gift.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
It's a cat sitting behind the wall right now that's
locked up that's so good at artistry.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
This cat's in there tattooing everybody. Man, get out.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Do it the right way. Quit selling drugs, man. You
ain't going nowhere selling no drugs. You're going to jail.
And if that don't do it, somebody going to get
tired of you selling drugs because they're going to want
to sell them over there and they're going to kill you.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Let's just keep this thing real for just a second here.
Come on, man.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Get up off your butt because you're sitting on a
gold mine. And you sit up here. Somebody always looking
for a shortcut to the top. Ain't no shortcut. Somebody
told me this the other day, man.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
The road to success is always under construction. It ain't paved.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
It's got detour signs on it. It's got slow men working.
Sometimes they flip the stop sign. You got to sit
there and wait. Sometimes they got slow. There's traffic. There's accidents.
Somebody on the road holding up things with a flat
tire is nails is gravels. This spike is everything. The
road to success is always under construction. It ain't getting
(06:53):
ready to be easy just because you done decided to
do it. But don't sit around on your behind and
complain all the time about what you don't have. My
daddy said it, man. Get up off your butt because
you sitting on the gold mine. You got a gift.
You got a talent. You got something that you can
do that could make a way for you. But you
won't do it. It is within you. Stop looking around.
(07:17):
Here's where people waste the most time on the road
to success. looking around at somebody else, trying to figure out, man,
how can I do what they did?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Do what you do. You ain't Jay-Z. You ain't. Sorry.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I got a couple of your homies told you, you
rap better than him, but you're not Jay-Z.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Really, you're not. You know, all of us done shot
at him, but we ain't Richard Pryor. Nice shot, Steve.
Bernie DL, all of us took some great shots at it.
We're not him. Do what you can do. Do you.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Do your gift. Quit complaining about what you don't have.
Get up off your butt because you're sitting on a
gold mine.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
