Speaker 5 (02:08):
Steve Harvey got a radio show, ah Man, Steve Harvey
got a radio show because God. Because God is simply amazing,
because God is off the chain, because God is over
the top, because God is all that in a bag
of chips.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
God is amazing man.

Speaker 5 (02:27):
God will take you places that you never ever thought
you would go, or.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
You know what.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
It's sometimes it amazes me when I'm watching people talk
about themselves and their careers and where they're at in
life and things, and they and I hear people say,
you know, always dreamed of being here. You know, I
can understand when a person says that I've always dreamed
that of something like this would happen to me. But

(02:54):
I want you to think about that for a second.
Did you really see just like that though? Did you
really really see it just like that? Did you really
know that God was going to bring you through all
he brought you through to get you to this place?

(03:16):
Did you know that, in spite of the losses along
the way that would crumbled the average person, that somehow
He kept you through it all and that's how you
got here?

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Did you think of you know?

Speaker 5 (03:29):
I mean, you know, I mean, since you're so busy
talking about yourself now, have you forgotten all the times
He was bringing you through when you didn't see no
way that you was gonna get through?

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Do you remember that?

Speaker 5 (03:44):
So when you sit there and you say, I dreamed
of this, this is what I always saw happening, I
don't really think.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
So.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
I don't really think.

Speaker 5 (03:53):
If you take inventory, or real close inventory of your
life and you look back on it all, stop, look
at the moment right now, remember where you come from. See,
that's what gets me emotional. Sometimes, that's what makes me
tear up, because when something is happening to me in
the moment, it ain't the moment for me, it's the
memory of how I got there.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
It's the recollection of.

Speaker 5 (04:18):
All the things, all the nights, all the days in
that car, all the times by myself when I felt
like I wasn't gonna make it. But somehow I'm standing
somewhere and somebody passing out on the ward to me
or somebody calling my name, that's that.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Did you really think you was gonna make it? Then?

Speaker 5 (04:38):
So so so, since you're talking about this is what
I always dreamed. Did you really think in those moments
right there that you would even be standing here today?
That's why I try to I try to get people
to understand, you know, and and and and and this
is kind of for young people today what I'm about
to say. But then guess what I sometimes I had
to remind myself of it, So I guess it's still

(04:59):
kind of for every you know, because I work with
a lot of young people, and so many times, man,
young people just don't understand what all it takes. And
I know, and if you're a full grown adult, if
you're forty, you really understanding where I'm coming from, because
you know it's listen to me, young people or anybody

(05:23):
that don't understand this, that you got to do some
things that you don't want to do in order to
do what you want to do, you have to understand
this principle of success or else you are not going
to become successful. I got what you want to do.
I got your ultimate goal? Is this, that, and the other?

(05:44):
I got all of that. But in the meantime, though,
there are some necessary steps that you have to take
in order to become successful, and you cannot skip these steps.
You can't jump over these steps just because you want
to be rich Friday, I got that.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
I got that. Everybody got that.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
But if you want this, whatever you're talking about, whether
it's money or success or fame or climbing the corporate
letter or this is the position or you all, that's
fine and damn please hold on to your dreams. Dreams
come true. But in the meantime, let me remind you
of something that you gotta do some things you don't

(06:26):
want to do in order to do what you want
to do. Let's say you want to be rich and famous.
Let's just say that's it for you. Now, that's a
lot of other ways of being successful. Please don't think
that's the only one. But I'm just saying let's just
say yos is rich and famous. And let's say some
miraculous way God made you rich and famous. Next Friday,

(06:49):
Ta dad d y'all you rich and you famous? Next Friday?
Can I share something with you? This is not going
to last for you. You know why because you have
not done the thing it's necessary. You have not done
the things that you have to do in order to
do the things you want. So now you're rich and famous.

(07:10):
How you gonna know how to budget money? How you
gonna know how to get up and keep clawing towards
the top when you.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Fall off your pedestal. See, it's so many things.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
You got to know about something, and you think because
it's what you want right now, it's supposed to happen
just now. It's a process. When you ask God for something.
Please know God know the process. He know the necessary
steps to take you through. Don't lose your patience with
God because your dreams ain't coming true right now? Man,

(07:45):
You know, I think the best way y'all is for me.
I just use myself as an example. I really do
understand why God has given me the life he's given
me so far. I understand the being homeless part. Now
I get to not being successful when I want it.
Two Part now I get it. I got the delayed
entry into the field of choice for myself.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
I got it now.

Speaker 5 (08:07):
I've been wanting to be on TV and a little
comedian since I was nine years old. But guess what,
I didn't get that until I was twenty eight. But
see I didn't get it then. I was mad at God.
You know what I want, and I'm senter here here.
I got exactly what you want. But I got this process.
I want you to go through to get here too,
because see I'm finna take you somewhere. You don't know nothing,

(08:28):
but one day you're gonna have a radio show with
you a little stupid behind. You don't know this yet.
I'm gonna bless you with a radio show. You don't
even know it. That's why I say every morning, Steve
Harvey got a radio show. Because see, I didn't see
this one coming. But see, God had a plan for me.
It was in the blueprint of my life. So God said,
what I'm gonna do is, I'm gonna make your life
a little rough for you.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
I'm gonna toss you up a little bit.

Speaker 5 (08:51):
I'm gonna let you make some of these stupid decisions
you wanna make and I'm gonna make you learn from them.
I'm gonna let you be homeless for a little while.
I'm gonna let you not get into your field of
choice until you're twenty eight. I'm gonna have people talking
about if we had only seen him when he was younger.
I ain't gonna let you get your first con your
name to your thirty eight. I'm gonna make you go

(09:12):
through some things because one day I'm gonna put a
microphone in front of your mouth, and I want you
to honor me. I want you to talk about me.
I want you to tell people what I bought you through.
I want you to give people inspirational moments where they
can see that your life was jacked up for a
minute and I turned your life around for you.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
That's God dealing with me. See.

Speaker 5 (09:33):
So now I finally understand why I went through the
life I went through, so I can have.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Something to say.

Speaker 5 (09:39):
See, I ain't over here telling you about what I
think will happen. I'm telling you what I know can happen.
That God does make dreams come true, but sometime it
take a minute. Sometimes you're gonna have to do some
things you don't want to do. In order to do
what you wanna do. All right, all let you I'm
gonna be tripping to day.
