Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time. Y'all
don't know y'all ball at all, So don't given them back.
A million bus busy listening to show. I don't joy joy,
(00:59):
you don't do that. You turn, you gotta turn. I
(01:31):
can't got to turn the mouth turn. You probably got
to turn the mouth. Turn the water of the way up. Look,
(01:55):
come come out, you think that? Uh 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. Well, nothing changes about that. Nothing changes about that. Man.
(02:17):
I was just getting ready to come on the air
this morning. I was just thinking, man, I was just
having a reflective moment of just how really good God
has been to me. I just it's it's it's man.
Let me just say that again, how really good God
(02:39):
has been to me. And here's a cold part. In
spite of myself, you understand, in spite of all my shortcomings,
in spite of all of my flaws and and and
and in spite of all of what anybody has said
about me, God, through his grace and mercy, just keeps
(03:02):
me anyway. So many of us are exceptional people, But
we refuse to just go ahead and be exceptional. We
settle for the ordinary. We follow the pack, We try
(03:22):
to fit in. Man, oh man, oh man. You know,
I've heard my wife say this to my children all
the time. When she's scolding him or talking to him,
she'll be talking to him about leadership. You know, why
are you following everybody when God clearly made you to lead?
So many of us are born, and so many of
you are born to be exceptional people, but we always
(03:45):
trying to follow the pack. Why would you try to
fit in? Why would you try to be like everybody
else be ordinary? Why would you follow the pack when
God has created you to be exceptional? The key word
in exceptional is except you. Ever you ever dine this
(04:07):
right here? You know, everybody did that accept me. Everybody
felt that way except me. Everybody said that except me.
Everybody won't wanted that accept me. Everybody went over there
except me. Everybody jumped in except me except me. See
(04:31):
why have you said that in your life? If you
were not to be exceptional? See you got to say
everybody except me at one point in yo to I
don't know who ain't done it? You know, everybody wanted.
Everybody voted no except me. See, so you're not You're
not created to follow the pack. You ain't created to
(04:53):
fit in. You ain't created to, uh you know, to
be ordinary. You were created to be exceptional, as exceptional
as your fingerprint on your finger is. You were created
to be exceptional. Why not make this the year that
you go head on and be exceptional? Why won't this
(05:13):
be the year that you decide in your mind? But
just has to be a decision that we make now,
were not following the pack no more? We not trying
to fit in no more. We ain't settling for ordinary
no more. We're gonna be exceptional. But you know you
got to go ahead and follow that. You got to
get on the exceptional path because that's what you were
(05:34):
created for. Why be ordinary? You know? But all of
this this comes to it has to start with a thought.
You got to first think something. Thoughts become things. A
man is as he thinketh that's all you will ever be.
So what are your thoughts today? Why not have exceptional
(05:55):
thoughts instead of ordinary thoughts? Why not have exceptional thoughts instead?
To fit ing mee in thoughts? So why you want
to be like everybody else. Why you want to be
ordinary when you could possibly be extraordinary with a change
of your mind, a change of your venue, and you
don't have to be any other kind of way just
because my mama was this, well, my daddy was this way,
(06:18):
or this the school I went to, This is what
race I belong to, This is my sexual preference, this
is my this, this is my dad? How many? How many?
How many excuses you need? I mean, I'm any excuse? What? What? What? What?
What's it gonna be this year that we let another
three hundred and sixty five days slip by without improving
our condition, our place, our spot, our life, the quality
(06:43):
of life we have. We cannot afford to keep letting
all these years go by without changing. You're an exceptional person.
How many times have you set up and said, everybody
did that accept me? You know I was only everybody
jumped in except me. I told him I knew it.
(07:06):
Everybody voted for that except me, And now look at us, man,
it seemed like everybody went that way except me. Okay,
do you get it? Do you understand what's being said
to you that all accept me is because couldn't it be?
Because You're an exceptional person, and it's time for you
(07:28):
to take control of that. It's time for you to
start thinking different. It's time for you to start acting
on what you think. It's time for you to start
doing something about it. It's time for you to stop
taking each and every day that God gives us for
granted and letting them go by the wayside. Like you
got plenty more. Well, you may have plenty more, but
guess what what you wasting the ones you got for?
(07:52):
I got you young, and you feel like you're gonna
live forever. Eh, okay, cool, But let me ask you something.
See here the part about it. I supose you do live.
See see everybody worrying about dying. But I got news
for you. Suppose you keep on living. You want to
keep living in the condition you in now. You want
to keep living with the money you got now. You
(08:13):
want to keep living with the relationship you got now.
You want to keep living by yourself like you are now.
You want to keep wanting the right relationship, the right
man to the right woman, but you keep getting the
wrong one. You want to keep doing that for the
rest of your life. Problem ain't dying. There's problem is
if you keep on living, who wants to keep on
living just the way they are right now? And if
(08:34):
you could say I'm cool, what I am? Just the
way I am right now? In cool, this conversation ain't
for you. I ain't got no problem with that. You know,
you know what to say. Greatness ain't for everybody. Being
exceptional ain't for everybody. Becoming extraordinary ain't for everybody. Heck,
becoming successful ain't for everybody. I got it. And you
(08:55):
can come up with a way to justify your non
existence and your ordinary life all you want, and that's
fine and dandy. I ain't got no problem with it.
Because some people just gonna be regular. Some people just
gonna follow the pack, follow the crowd. Some people just
wants to fit in. But if you're not that person,
if you want to be extraordinary, if you want to
(09:16):
be exceptional, if you want to be if you want
a dad to be great at something, and you got
to change your mindset. You got to get what your
creator and find out what he created you for. You
got to quit thinking of things just in your own
thought process, you know, lean not to your own understanding.
I don't know where that is, but it's in there
somewhere seeing. Once you lean, if you lean to your
(09:38):
own understanding, you know what it's gonna do. It's gonna
limit you. Man, it's gonna limit you. Why not see
what God got for you. I would rather know what
God got for me than to think of all the
things I could because I can't out think him out
and tried it before. All right, it's just the beginning.
We're gonna have a good one. Man. Let's go. You're
