Speaker 2 (02:00):
Uh huh I sure wi him? Good morning everybody.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
You are listening to the voice, come on dig me now,
one and only. Steve Harvey got a radio show man.
Oh man, oh man? How many times I got to
say that before I get tired of it. I think
it's gonna be a minute, folks, I gotta be real
with you, because boy, that's Steve Harvey, got a radio
(02:25):
show man. Clear indication of how God can do some unexpected,
wonderful things for you, how he leads your life in
directions that you never ever saw coming.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
You know.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I was talking with somebody the other day and they
were talking about how man, they were young, and they
were doing things, and they never knew that the things
that they were doing as a youngster would come and
help help form who they were today as an adult
this guy is fifty years old, and you know the
(02:59):
same thing. You If you look back on your life
and all of the things that you've done, it helped
shape you into who you are now. This is provided
now that you take the positive approach. Now when I
say look back at your life and see what you've done,
that doesn't mean dwell on the misfortunate moments. Because the
(03:20):
misfortunate moments were necessary.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I know it.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
It's hard to see that when it's happening to you,
but the unfortunate moments are necessary. You know, what really
makes you appreciate summer vacation is winter work. What really
makes you appreciate a walk on the beach is when
it's cold.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Is rain in our side.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
What really makes you appreciate when you're up, it's because
you've been down. See if you were up all the time,
just the nature of us as human beings, we would
lose our appreciation for it because it becomes case arrah.
Whatever it is, well, it is, what it is, is
what what you take it for granted, it becomes expected.
(04:04):
But what happens in life, sir, is it has so
many twisting turns, and then you learn how to deal
with those twisting turns, which makes you now a more
experienced person. And then when the sunny days come, man,
you go wild. It's really nice outside. You really want
to appreciate how warm weather. Just stay in a bunch
of cold weather all the time. You know what I'm saying.
(04:24):
I'm just this is really simpler now, a lot of analogies,
but it helps you along the way. Now here's what
I came to say today to everybody out there. And
this has helped me in my life. I can't tell
you what it's done for me, but a lot of
people are struggling with moving forward with their future, their
(04:46):
future plans, their future goals, their future aspirations, their future hopes,
their future dreams, just simply your future wants. A lot
of people trying to have hard time mapping out their future.
Even what I'm gonna do, what I'm gonna be, what
I'm gonna make, how I'm or go about it? What
(05:09):
do I do next? I want to share something with
you that I had to come to terms with. The
quickest way to lose focus on your future is to
keep focusing on your past.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
You know, It's like I said at the beginning.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
You know when I say, it's wonderful to look at
your life and review it, because if you look at it,
it'll tell you it really helps shape inform you today
as the person you are now. If you look at
it in a positive sense. But if you dwell in
harp on the negative that's happened to you, then that
(05:44):
keeps you from seeing the good in the incident. Every
bad thing that's happened to you, that was a silver
lining behind it. I know people who were on drugs
who finally, man just got sent to prison for stealing
because of their habit. I know cat that's sold dope. Well,
he went to prison. He told me one time, he said, Steve.
(06:04):
He said, man, this is the best thing ever happened
to me to save my life. Now, most people would think,
how in the world is going to prison helpful for you?
The brother said, it saved my life. First of all,
it got me clean. He said, I've been clean for
five years from sitting in here. That's for starters. I'm clean.
(06:25):
I ain't stealing no more. I ain't putting myself in jeopardy,
and I ain't jeopardizing nobody else.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
He said.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Now, man, I done went to college, I done got
a college degree while I'm in here. Then he was
released from prison, and the brother's life was completely turned around.
He married, he got a family, he got a great job.
He go to work every day. He's a productive citizen.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
So he looks back on his incarceration, even his drug abuse,
and it taught him how to appreciate the things in
life that he had taken for and was missing because
he said, man, my life was just in a blur.
I didn't even know what was going on. He said,
Now I appreciate every day I wake up. That's what
(07:09):
I mean. Even in your missteps in life, there is
a purpose for the missteps.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Every time you fail, there was a reason for the failure.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
See what I had to do was I had to
learn that all of my failures taught me how to
get back up. So I became a very strong and
tough person in getting back up. And then I was
down and out so long that it taught me how
to really appreciate the up. And so I've taken all
of that and used it. Those experiences that happened to me,
(07:43):
and I became a more experienced person.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
So next time when.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
People talk about me who don't know me it don't
shake me, cause everybody not gonna like you. Man, you
might as well go and get on this train right now.
And so what I'm saying to you out there is
the quickket way to lose focus on your future is
to keep focusing on your past. Let it go. Yeah yeah, yeah,
he left. Sometimes the breakup is the blessing. I know
(08:10):
it's hard to break up because now you're loaning you
by yourself. But man, but weren't you in misery when
you was in that? Weren't you in complete misery in that?
Now you kept asking God to fix it. But it
takes two people to fix a relationship. It don't just
take one. It take two to make a thing go right.
It take two to make it out of sight. You
(08:33):
really do have to have two people wanting a relationship
to work. It can't just be one person want a relationship,
so you can pray about the relationship all you want.
If the other person don't want you no more and
ain't gonna act right, you can't make him do that
or you can't make her do that. But you steady
asking God for a new relationship. But you are yet
(08:55):
to be grateful that you are in a position to
have a relationship, and you keep harping on the past.
You don't think you hear that. I'm just a dude
with a show and I hear it all the time.
Let it go go forward.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
It's over.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
You made it, He bought you through it, you conquered,
you survived it. Why are you dwelling on it and
making it the cross around your neck when clearly he
had removed it for you. Now, all you got to
do is come on. So if you sit behind them walls,
brothers and sisters, I'm talking directly to you sometimes. Man,
(09:32):
you just got to get it right. All this repeat
offender business, that's for.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Who is that for?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
How ignorant can you be to keep giving your life
back to the penal system? Be free, man, walk the streets,
do the right thing. Ask God to help connect you.
He could do anything. You think he can't give you
a job? Are you serious? Man?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Put some faith on it. Let's move forward, y'all. Let
it go.
