Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, I sure will I combine and everybody you're
listening to the voice, come on, dig me now, one
and only Steve Harvey, I got a radio show.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Sometimes you wake up and you're not feeling your best.
The reason I'm talking about this today is because today
is one of those days for me. You know, you
can stay positive, and I'm a very very positive person.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Now I'm turning it around.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
As I speak to you because I've learned a trick
in my life. I've learned a self motivating tool that
I use, and I'm gonna share it with you today.
So if you wake up and you're not quite feeling
yourself that day, as is the case with me today, here's.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
What I do.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
I immediately, immediately, and I'm I'm not kidding you, I'm
in the process of doing it right now. I immediately
start thinking of all the little things that I have
out that I could be grateful for. And I start
with the fact that the reason I had to get
up this morning. See, the reason I had to get
up this morning was because of.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
The job I have.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Now, you may not have a job that you're in
love with like I'm in love with mine, But let
me ask you this right here.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
Suppose you didn't have that job. Oh man, how would
today be.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Well, you can sleep in a little bit longer, but
when you woke up, man, you'd have to be faced
with the cold realization that, hey, man, I ain't working. Man,
I ain't making it happen for me and mine, I'm
not getting it done. And so with that in mind,
I immediately I start showing some gratitude for waking up

(01:46):
and man just having work to go do. And then
I started telling myself that man, he didn't have to
do it, but he did. He woke me up this morning,
that I'm up, I'm actually able, that I'm here again,
that he ain't through with me yet, that there's really
still things for me to do. Man, okay, cool, I'm
on point with that. I'm on point with that. And

(02:07):
then I just started going over the little things.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Man.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
You know, my coffee machine wasn't working this morning. I said, Man,
I've been down. I've been fitting with that coffee machine,
trying to get it to work, you know, couldn't get
it to work. I called somebody, you know, I get
some coffee.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
It's okay.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
They at the end of the world, you know, And
I I started thinking about, man, that I have a
place that I can go to once a year.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
That's beautiful. You know.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
I started thinking about you know, man, look I got
a place that I lay my head.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
That's mine.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
I mean, you know, as my father in law once
told me, when somebody came to see about him and
his house was inside his house talking to him crazy
the police, he said, listen to me, he said, this
is my house. He says, as Meaga, as it may be,
this is my house, and I'm the king of this
castle right here.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
However, Meaga, it may be, this is mine.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
And you know, when you start looking at stuff in
terms like that, man, I mean, for me, it's just
a trick.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
I use.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
I start feeling better. I start looking around, man. I
started thinking about, man, I got something to wear today.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
You know.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
I start looking at little stuff. Man, I'm gonna have
some eggs later on.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Today. I started looking at other stuff. Somebody's hungry today.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
See, somebody don't don't really have an option of knowing
what they're going to have today.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
I actually have a refrigerator with an option in it.
You know.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
I start looking at the little things, man, that God
has done for me. The little things is in my life,
and I started picking myself up. Man, I started feeling
a whole lot better about myself. And see, the more
I start telling it to you right now, the better
I'm starting to feel.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Because man, is you could you know? I mean, look,
I mean listen to my voice.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
My energy is picking up, my pace is picking up
because now I didn't hit out of hit my rhythm.
I'm up. I'm glad, I'm up. I'm grateful to be here.
I'm glad I got a family. I'm glad God didne
kept my kids. Glad God kept my wife. You know,
I'm glad you know, or whoever you are, whatever your
situation is, God didn't kept somebody for you on your behalf.
That's a benefit to you or somebody you're trying to

(04:08):
teach something they may finally get it today, or something
you've been trying to know, you may finally.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Know it today. But you got to accept the blessing
of what it is that you know now. Okay.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
You know, see, if you've been looking for an answer,
a solution to a problem, and then the solution come,
you know you got to be grateful for it.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
You know, Lord, help me with this relationship.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Maybe today is today you find out that that's been
the toxic and the poison in your life, that that
relationship is what's wrong. But because we want to hang
on to it, or we tried to make it go
against everything that was in us. Now we got this
toxic poison in our life. You know, you may find
out today that that's it, that you need to move on. Well,

(04:51):
you know, something that ain't the most devastating thing you
could find out. There's a blessing and a lot of
things that looks painful at times. You know, I said
the at best one time, I said, you know, sometimes
the break up is the blessing for a lot of people,
it is, man, because you know, look, man, you know
we make choices with who we want to be with,
and sometimes you don't pick the wrong person, and it

(05:12):
don't make that person a bass. That person just wasn't
good together with you, that's all it is. And so
when you come to that realization, sometimes you know it's
time to move on. You got to be grateful for
all of the little things, man, The fact that you
have a way to get around, the way that you have,
the reason that you have some money to go get
on something to go get around that you in school.

(05:34):
It might not be going just perfect for you right now,
but guess what you in school, man, you got a
shot you making it happen. You know what I'm saying,
a lot of people don't have that. Man, A lot
of people don't know what the next move is. At
least you're in the process of doing something about it.
And you may not know how to see your way
all the way to the end. But just knowing what
to do, what the next step could be for you,

(05:54):
that's good enough.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
You know.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
You don't have to know all the steps. Just what
am I gonna do next? Well, after I do this,
I'm gonna take this course. Then after I complete this semester,
I move on to that semester. I don't care what
it is. Look, man, we just got to find something
to be grateful about today, because in your gratitude, God
blesses you with more. See when God sees that we're
grateful for the things we have, he gives us more

(06:16):
things to be grateful for. It's simply the law of attraction.
It works in every aspect of your life. Matter fact
that you don't know the rule, it does not matter.
So the thing that you want the most of in
your life is the thing that you're gonna have to
give the most of the things that the thing that
you hope happens to you the most. It is the

(06:39):
thing that you're gonna have to have happen to others
the most. Lord, I want you to cover me. You're
gonna have to cover some people. Lord, I want you
to hear my crime. You're gonna have to hear some people's.
Chris Lod I want more love in my life. You're
gonna have to love more people. I'm talking about real,
real love.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
Now.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
I'm not talking about going out fooling around with somebody.
That's ridiculousness. Let's see, here's well, well, since something talking
about love and wrong, love and ridiculousness. Here's how you
know that it ain't from God.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
I want you to hear me.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Now, if God is involved in it, there is no sin.
If there is sin involved in it is not from God.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
Just remember that rule.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
It took me a long time learned that way. You
know what the Bible says doing tellings that you would
have them do it, Well, they did it to me,
so they must want it done to them. I'm gonna
go down here. I'm gonna do this. If what you're
going to do is a sin, you have now twisted
a Bible verse to fit your method or what you
want to do. To know, simply know that if it's

(07:45):
God's voice is talking to you, or something that's going
on is in it, Bishop Oldma talks is to me.
The God's voice, in God's methods or ways has no
sin in it.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
That's you, all right, have a great day. Everybody listening
