There is not a soul that God has created that does not have a gift to give to the world. Everyone has an inner greatness and it's up to you to figure it out and share.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Y'all don't know y'all at all at all. So given
them black a million bus busy listening to to.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I don't joy, Yeah, Joy, you gotta.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Love you turn, you gotta turn.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
To turn the mouth turn you probably got to turn
the mouth out.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Turn a word of the mony. Jump, look me, come me,
come out, you think.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
I sure will? Good morning everybody.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
You are listening to the voice, come on, dig me now,
one and all is Steve.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Harvey got a radio show, particularly this morning. Steve Harvey
got a radio show filled with nothing but joy and
hope about it too. You know, it's a great thing
to be able to wake up in the morning with
peace in your heart and joy. Peace and joy is immeasurable.
(02:31):
It has a value attached to it, and I have
no idea what it is. It's invaluable.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
It is worth so much more than any amount of
money you can make. Peace and joy. I have not
always had that. I've not always been a peaceful person
or a person who lived his life and enjoy spirit.
It took an arrival at this moment. Some people arrived
(02:57):
sooner than others. I wish I had arrived at this
point sooner, but I think it was necessary for me
to learn a few things too. That's the amazing thing
I've learned about life is that instead of reflecting on
your past incidences and calling them failures, instead of focusing
(03:20):
on the negative and calling them bad times, I look
at them now as experiences. I had to have those
experiences that were negative, that were good, positive, wrong, evil.
I had to have all those experiences to become to
(03:41):
shape who we are today. We all have to have them.
If you look back at all the negative experiences you've had,
all the things that you called failures, all the businesses
I started that went under, all of the jobs I
had that I was fired from, all the show that
were canceled, all of the times I thought I was
(04:04):
gonna get something happened in my way and turned out
I didn't get it at all. When you look at
all of it, all of it, hopefully along the way,
what you have done as a person is you've taken
those negatives and those failures and you've used them for
what they actually are. They are experiences, and they've now
(04:25):
created in you an experienced person, and you know that
is worth something. That's then it becomes a positive. But
what too many people do is they let the negative
things that have happened in their life. They allow the
failures that have happened in them lives never to manifest
(04:45):
themselves as experiences. And you sit up there and you
dwell on it, and you dwell on it until you
have this woe is me attitude. Stop looking at it
like that, y'all. You go through things in order to
become the person that you are today. I'll tell you
who you sometimes have to sit down and talk to.
Sometimes you ought to sit down to an inmate that
(05:07):
really gets it, an inmate that says, man, I've actually
heard inmates say it to me and write to me,
and they've said things like, man, come into prison, save
my life. Now, those of you have never got how
can he say a thing like that? But some men know, man,
I was so far out there that if I'd have
stayed out there, I wouldn't even be here today. This
(05:30):
actually allowed me to stop, spend some time with myself
and learn some things about me. Now does that happen
for everybody like that? And no, But here's a person
who is taking an experience that could be considered a
failure or negative and turn it into a positive and
using it to enrich their lives. You can do it
no matter what your set of circumstances is. I recommend
(05:51):
to everybody that you try changing your outlook in order
to change your outcome. Everything that happens to you that's
negative or you consider failure their experiences. You've got to
go through these things in order to have the knowledge
that you have today. So I wish that I had
come to this arrival that I'm in now, this place
of peace and joy. But then guess what, I will
(06:14):
not know what I know. I couldnot share some of
the things that I'm able to share if I had
not gone through some of them. And sometimes that's the
purpose of them. It's to teach you a lesson because
you know, God has a plan for you. He really
really does, and eventually he can use you no matter
how old you are, and he can use you no
matter how young you are. If you just say, Okay,
(06:36):
I'm ready to hear your plan. I've tried mine, mine
ain't worked out. What's your plan for me? God, what
do you want me to do? That's why I say
every day. Steve already got radio show y'all couse. Man,
I ain't see it coming. I didn't see that coming.
I ain't see this book coming. I ain't I ain't
seen half of the amazing things that are happened to me.
(06:56):
I didn't plan them. I was sitting there, man and
asking God for some direction. And then I got smart
enough to stay watchful, be a hard worker now because faithful,
our works is dead, and it came. And I'll remind
you of this. God has given all of you a gift.
Every last one of you listening has a gift. God
has never created a soul that he did not provide
(07:19):
a gift to. God gives everyone a gift, and a
gift is not just singing, rapping entertainment. The richer gifts
are much more than that. Teachers are gifted people who
really have the gift of sharing information. That's a gift,
you know, and in that you can become great. You know,
(07:41):
a lot of people think that successful and greatness is
the same thing. Cornell West said it at my daughter's graduation.
He was a spokesperson. He said something so pointed. He said,
don't ever confuse success with greatness. The two have nothing
to do with each other. See people determine success about
(08:01):
money and fame and all this here, But greatness. Greatness
ain't got nothing to do with your money. It ain't
got nothing to do with your fame. It's how you
conduct your life. It's how meaningful and significant you become
in your community, at your church, on your job, to
the Cubs Scout unit that you run, to the little
girl's lives, that you change, that that little center in
(08:24):
the hood where you just one place of hope to
so many people and they come back. And I used
the example of lou Danzler who passed away in La
who had the Boys and Girls Challenges Club out in
La And he wasn't a rich man at all, and
if you walk by him, you wouldn't even know who
he was. But if you look at all the people
who have gone on to become politicians, who have gone
(08:45):
on to become CEOs, who have gone on to become athletes,
that have passed through this man's small building in the
hood in La, he was great. Trust me, man. Prayer
changes things, I said all the time. But when you
see people become successful or great that somebody praying somewhere
may not even be them. Maybe it's they Mama. You know,
(09:06):
I think of Tiger Woods and all the greatness he's accomplished.
You know, they always talk about his father and all this.
Here somebody somewhere praying for Tiger Woods. I got cash
money riding on that Tiger Woods. Mama is a praying
woman or something. My mother was. She prayed me into
this place because she used to call me all the
time praying for you, boy, and prayer changes things. It
(09:29):
really does. Try it today. It can change you. It
has changed millions of people. Open up yourself to the
greatness that's in you, because God is giving you a
gift matter fact that you ain't using it. Who fought
you think that is? I'm just telling you you got one,
and if you start praying about it, it'll manifest itself
(09:49):
and you can become one or two things, successful or
great or both. You can make the decision. Today.
