Speaker 1 (00:00):

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all all at all?
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Soon given a bull.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Like the million bus busy.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Yeah listening to to.
Speaker 1 (00:38):

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Yeah, Joy, you got you?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I know.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Where you.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Gotta turn'd to turn them out, to turn my hobby.
Got to turn them out and turn.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
The word of the money.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yo, come.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Come out, you think that.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
I sure will? Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice.
I said, come on now, dig me to one and
only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Okay, Now, I'm
gonna be really honest with you this morning. I really
don't know what to say. I really don't. I was
(02:25):
sitting here and I was thinking, what do I say today?
I do know that I want to be encouraging, uplifting
and inspirational in some way to affect somebody today. Oftentimes,
these conversations that I have in the mornings, they're design
(02:47):
with me because I needed myself, y'all, to be honest
with you.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I mean, you know.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Who makes the comedian laugh? I used to say all
the time. And even though what we talk about in
the morning is not a laughing matter, it kind of
like is who I am today. You know, I need
motivation in my life sometimes myself. I think when I
get in moments like this, I often resort back to
(03:20):
the same thing over and over and over. And when
I find myself in certain predicaments, I can always fall
back on the same thing over and over. So while
I'm sitting here trying to figure out what to say
to you, the one thing that I did do this
(03:41):
morning that I find to be very consistent in me
is that I find myself grateful. I'm ever grateful for
the things that God has done for me. I may
not always know what to say, but I know how
to say thank you.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
I do.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
I know how to remember and reflect back on where
I come from. I know how to realize where all
my blessings come from. I'm very very conscious of my
journey that I've been on, the one that was from
then until now, that journey right there is it's been.
(04:26):
It's been. It's been. It's been difficult, man, it really
really has. I ain't gonna lie to you me. Becoming
successful was very difficult. But as hard as this is
to say, I really really mean this. I wouldn't change
(04:48):
nothing about the trip I've been on number one because
I can't change anything about it. So I never lived
my life and regret. But the main thing is was
I discovered along the way now, not doing the process
(05:09):
when you're going through rough moments that you can't hardly
see the good in it at the time. It's just
rough for you and it seems unexplainable, and oftentimes I
thought it was unfair. But as I am now, I
needed every single thing that happened to me, that happened
to me to happen to me.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I hope that makes sense to you.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
I needed everything to happen in the exact order and
the exact way that it happened in order for me
to be the person that I've become.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
And that right there, man, is just very comforting to me.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Mishel Jakes told me one time, he said, the closer
you get to God, the more friend you all become,
the more He will reveal to you are the how
it comes and what falls of a lot of things
that's happened to you. Because a lot of times what
troubles us is we just can't understand why we lost
(06:16):
that love on back then. We just can't understand why
we didn't get what we wanted back then, we just
don't understand how come our plan didn't work out and
we had to fail so miserably. Back then, we don't
understand the answers to these things. Well, the closer I've
gotten to God, the more those explanations have become crystal
(06:39):
clear to me. And See, the one thing that I
came to the realization everybody is that the things that
was happening to me, they wasn't really all bad. They
really wasn't that they didn't taste good. When it was happening,
I didn't enjoy what I was going through. But as
I look back on them and reflect now, it wasn't
(06:59):
all bad. Some of those things were so necessary for
me to get the information because see, I don't know
about you, but I'm kind of hard headed and stubborn.
I said, I don't know about you, but I'm kind
of hard headed and stubborn. I kind of like to
think that I know something about some things every now
and then, and the things I am convinced about. I
(07:22):
don't really really care for people trying to talk me
off mine. So I can be stubborn and hard headed.
Sometimes God knows that about me. So I think to
get some of the messages crystal clear through to me
that I needed to learn. That was this process I
had to go through. That process was my journey, It
was my trip. It was my woe, my pain. See,
(07:45):
everybody got them different, It don't matter what it is.
Everybody got a woe, everybody got a pain, everybody got
a trial, everybody got some tribulations, everybody got some challenge.
I don't care who you are, dude, Quit looking at
me thinking that I got it going on so tough man.
But if Steve, yeah, it's easy for you to say that,
but you ain't here. You don't know where. Ben, if
(08:08):
you would stop hanging yourself up on your past, worrying
about your woes and your troubles and the situation you in,
and start praying and start asking God to get you
through it.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
See a lot of times you messed it. You messed
the message up yourself.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Because when you're going through some stuff, you ask God
to remove it and take it away.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
That ain't the lesson. You got to learn your lesson
sometimes it's.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Got to be how to be strong, how to see
it through, how to bear under it, how to carry
that weight long distances for long periods of time. That's
how you get strong The lesson is to make you stronger.
But to make you stronger, you got to carry the weight.
You can't get stronger you don't go to gym or
(08:53):
you're gonna do something at your house to lift your
own body weight.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
See a lot people can't even do push ups.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
They can't get down, and in the course of a day,
give you one hundred push ups because they ain't.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
They ain't never tried it. They boy it.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
They get to twenty and they shake it so bad
they stop. That's too much for me. Well, let me
tell you something. So I learned to quit praying to
take stuff away. My prayer became to give me the
strength to handle it. People oftentimes ask me, how do
you do all that you do in the course of
the day. I don't really know. I just know I
can because I know God don't put more on you
(09:33):
than you can bath. So when you ask me how
you do all of what you do in the course
of the day, I got God. God is good. He'll
get you through whatever it is you're going through. So
when you trip it and you don't know what to say,
reflect and be grateful for all you reflect on, think
about God's goodness, and watch what he do for you.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
That's the cold part.
