Speaker 1 (00:50):
Yeah, Joy. You got to do that.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
I know. Turn you gotta turn.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I can't. I got to turn the mouth.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
Turn.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
You probably got to turn the mouth. Turn the water
of the moat up. Look, mave me.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Come come out.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
You think that, Uh.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Huh, 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. 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,
(02:26):
but man, oh man o man, I work hard. It
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 is
special and unique. That doesn't mean you're the only one
(02:46):
that can sing? Are you the only one that can write?
Are you the only one that can draw, you the
only one that can decorate? Or you the only one
that can network, or you're the only one that does
not what it means, or you have a great scientific mind,
or you can figure things out. Are you're good a
problems solving. You're not the only one, but you are
a unique individual. Nobody will travel the exact path that
(03:07):
you on. Nobody will have everything happen in a series
of circumstances in the order that you're going to have
it happen to you. That's what I mean when I
say that you are unique. 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 eighteen and sixteen.
(03:29):
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 from me and handed to me.
So it's in Proverbs eighteen sixteen. And this is the
layman's term of it. It says a man's gift make
room for him and brings him before great man. It
(03:49):
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, Sener God Temple Mosque.
You do and go get clarification. But what my gift
has done in making room for me is I've taken
it almost in the literal sense. My gift has actually
(04:10):
made room for me. It has clear paths for me.
My gift has opened up doors for me. That's what
I take it as. It'll make room for you. My
gift has has broadened my ability to travel. My gift
has opened my eyes to fashion. My gift has caused
me to be able to provide for my family. My
(04:33):
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. That that may be another interpretation. I'm
just telling you how I took it, that it has
worked out pretty good for me to that understanding. But
I'm pretty sure Bishop Jakes, Joel osteing kennef Ohm, you know, God,
Glenn Staples, Bishop Glenn Stable, these guys give you much
(04:55):
better understanding of it. I'm just giving it to you,
you know where I know how sold. 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 gonna take your places. It's gonna take your places
you never thought of going. You're gonna meet people because
of your gift. I told my son, who two of
(05:17):
them are good photographers. You'll be taking pictures of great
men and then I mess with them. You already take
the pictures, say your daddy. You know I'm messing with
them like that. But that's just me and them, 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
(05:39):
gotta do is you gotta get to move and though. See,
you can't have your gift and 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're sitting on a gold mine.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
He say that all the time.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Boy, get up off your butt and move it because
you sitting on the gold I never really quite got
that when I was little, but now that I'm an adult,
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,
(06:16):
that's a talent. I don't care if it's the ability
to do hell, that's a gift.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Man.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Half of you are gifted. A lot of us are gifted,
and we're 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.
Some of you are tech savvy, just a whiz is
when it comes to engineering and putting stuff together and
(06:42):
cables and wires and computers and stuff. And now you
steady looking around trying to figure out, Man, wonder what
I can go do?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
How about you go do that?
Speaker 5 (06:51):
You know it ain't that hard, man, if you were,
just take note of what God has given you already.
He has given you a gift already, He has already
given you a talent. Now the fact that you ain't
using it and you sitting on your tail somewhere, now,
who fathers what we're talking about? What you blaming God
(07:13):
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 what they
don't have, but will not get up off there behind
and use the gifts that God gave them.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
And it's frustrating.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
It's gotta be frustrating for you if you 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 thing over and over.
Help yourself, man, do for you use your gift. It's
a cat sitting behind the wall right now that's locked up.
That's so good at artistry. It's cats in that tattooing everybody. Man,
(07:55):
get out, do it the right way. Quit selling drugs, man,
You ain't going no selling no drugs.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
You going to jail.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
And if that don't do it, somebody gonna get tired
of you selling drugs cause they gonna want to sell
them over and they gonna kill you. Let's just keep
this thing real for just a second here. Come on, man,
get up off your butt, because you sitting on the
gold mine and you sit up here somebody always looking
for a short cut to the top. Ain't no shortcut.
Somebody told me this the other day. Man, the road
to success is always under construction. It ain't paved, it's
(08:27):
got detour signs on it. It's got slow men working.
Sometime they flip the stop sign. You gotta sit there
and wait. Sometime they got slow. There's traffic, there's accidents.
Somebody on the road holding up things with a flat tie,
its nails, its gravels. This spike is everything. The road
to success is always under construction. It ain't getting ready
(08:52):
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
(09:12):
is within you. Stop looking around. Here's what 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 1 (09:24):
Do what you do? You ain't jay Z, You ain't sorry.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
I got a couple of your homies told you you
rap better than him.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
But you not, jay Z, really you not. You know,
all of us can.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Shot at him, but we ain't rich at prior A

great shots at it.
