To turn about the turn You probably got to turn
mouth mount a word the money up. Look, come.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Come out you think, uh huh, I sure will.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Good morning everybody.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
You're listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now,
one and only. Steve Harvey.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I got a radio show, just trying to give God
some back, just some back of what even gave me,
just a portion, you know. Just I'm just trying, man,
to to show some type of gratitude for all his blessings.
I'm just trying to, man, just get it right sometimes,
(02:36):
you know what I mean. I mean, man, you just
can't do what you want to do and just live
wrong all the time. And you gotta at one point
in time, Steve, come home. Man, come on, man, you
could do better.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I know you can, you know saying and you know
what I had to do.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I had to stop saying I'm gonna try to do better,
and I just had to say, hey, man, I'm going
to do better. You know, trying is just to put
forth in effing and if it don't work, well okay.
But if you make up in your mind that I'm
going to do something, then trying isn't enough. It's getting
it done is the only thing that matters. See, it's
(03:10):
the difference between doing and trying. We're gonna try to
win the game, or we're gonna go out here to
win the game.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Now, trying to win the game means that you could lose.
But when you got in.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Your mind made up, most athletes will tell you that
they go out there with the full intent and purpose
of winning and winning only see they don't put the
second place finish on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Second place don't get you there. You you got to win.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
And now take it out of the scope of athletics,
but keep it in that type of analogy in life, man,
you just want to you want to win in life,
don't you. I mean, at the end of the day,
don't you want to be on the cover of Sports
Illustrated of life? Don't you want to be recognized for
your hard work? Don't you want, you know, to be
recognized within the bonus structure down at your job. Don't
(03:59):
you want to have your plaque up on the wall
down at your job? I mean most people do. Some
people could care less. Some people don't care about looking
good or being their best.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
And that's cool.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
But I ain't talking to them though. I'm talking to you.
I'm talking to those of you who want to be
the best you can be. You know, people kill me
when they getting mad at people and he Brown knows
and he all up on the employee of the month man,
the dude doing his job to the best of his ability,
and he getting recognized for it? What they got to
do with all that you're talking about? Because you ain't
(04:29):
up there. There's amazing, man, how people describe other people's success.
He's so lucky lucky? Hey, man, do they kind of
get you a little bit when people call you lucky? Well,
let me tell you what luck really is, y'all. Lucky
is when hard work bumps up into opportunity. Some people
call that luck.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
But hold on, let's think about this.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
If you wasn't working hard, an opportunity presented itself, what
would you call that? But see, when you've been working
hard and opportunity presents itself and it bumps up in
each other. Now people want to call that luck, but
hold up, he got to part though to day, ain't
paying no attention to Yeah, that opportunity came by, But
if you had not been working hard, and the hard
work had not ran up in the opportunity, what would
(05:11):
you have? No, sir, it's not luck, it's work. It
is work, because as a scripture that says, faith without
works is dead. But my mama was a Sunday school teacher.
She taught me enough. Though Now I know difference between
right and wrong, just like you do. You ain't got
to you know, it kills me when people write a
strawberry letter?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Am I wrong for this?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
You know? Well?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Look at this?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Read your letter? Are you wrong for this?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
You know you're wrong?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
What you don't need else to be telling, you know?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
But I'm gonna do this anyway. Well else, hee, Go ahead, though,
do what you want to do. But you know what, y'all,
here's the best advice I can give you. This is
what I really came to talk about this morning, but
I got sidetracked because I listened.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Get out of your own way. So many of us
are blocking our home.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Blessings were just in our own We are in our
own way, and one of the most dangerous ways you
can get in your way is to do it your way,
to get it figured your way, and to lock in
on your way. And this the way it's got to go.
Do you know how many people are blocking their blessing?
(06:18):
Do you know how long I block mind? With that
mindset right there? Look, because this the way you do it,
you think that makes it the right way? You think, jazz,
cause you done thought on it long and hard, and
that's what you really want. Do you really think that
your way is the right way or could that be
a better way?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
See?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Until I started listening to God and started paying attention
to his way, man, I was spinning my wheels.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Man. I was out here so determined this how I
was gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
But you know I had to learn how to get
out of my own way because just because I could
do it my way didn't mean it was the right way.
I had to get out of my own way. Just
get out your way, man, Now, what what does that mean?
That means, see, set your goals, That means have your dreams.
(07:12):
I'm saying set your goals, man, I ain't saying don't
set goals.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Listen to me.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Set your goals. What is it you want to happen?
What is it you'd like to have, What is it
you like to be? What do you aspire to? Set
your goals and set your dreams. Now take your goals
and your dreams to God and ask God to show
you how. Man, you can save yourself a lot of pain.
(07:37):
Listen to somebody who did it his way for so long.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
And when I.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Finally got out of my way, out of my own way.
When you've heard old people say, let go and let God,
you've heard them say that I didn't. I didn't get it,
but I got it. Now let go and let God.
And it's amazing little saying. Though now you know you
may not get it now. It took me a bunch
of years to get it too. But when I took
(08:03):
my goals and my dreams and my vision to God
and I said, God, this is what I hope for,
this is what I aspired to, this is what I
want to be, this is why I would love to
get to. Then I said, help me show me how,
point me in the right direction. Let me follow your footsteps,
guide me and give me a spirit of discernment. Show
(08:26):
me who wrong? Because I meet people every day. Ain't
up to no good with me every single day. Oh man, man,
I can't believe I run up in to you. Man,
the Lord told me something was gonna happen to me today. Well, see,
I talked to him every day. He did not mention
you to me. He ain't said nothing to me. He
didn't tell me what was gonna happen in mine. Now
I don't mean it can't happen because I'm open to it.
(08:49):
So really, man, I'm proud, and please know I'm listening
as well as I've ever listened before. But get yourself together, though, see,
know your goals and your dream and then let God
show you how to do it.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
He'll do it.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
It's so important everybody, that you get focused, that you
aim for something, that you dream of, something, that you
aspire to something. But it's the most best thing you
can do. After you do all that, Man, get God
involved in it. Man, talk to him. I mean, why
would you not what you got to lose? You ain't
got to go down there and make no big scene
and run laps around the church and run up there
(09:26):
and throw yourself on the altar and scream and flip
over and throw money in the ad.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
You ain't got to do that.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
This you and God, man, This you and God. You
know you got to serve and praise him the way
you do it. You gotta let nobody else tell you
how it's done. It's a personal relationship. People kill me
if you don't do it this way. If you don't
come here to this church and you don't run around
in this circle and you don't get flipped in the an,
you don't, Hey man, you better go have a relationship
with God. See what that's about, you understand? Or nobody
(09:52):
throw you off with all that? All right, all right,
y'all talk to him. He love to hear from you.
