(01:31):
I can't.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
I got to turn about the turn.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
You probably got to turn mouth turn a wad of
the water up looking.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Come come on your uh huh, I sure will. Good
morning everybody.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
You all listening to the voice, come on dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Okay,
Today is simple. I want to tell you. I want
to just talk to you about effort today. Just about effort.
You know, it's it's it's it's a word that people

(02:27):
use to describe sometimes trying. But what I found out
about trying is trying is just a noble way of
saying you didn't get it done. I tried when and
then everybody go, well, he tried, he that was the best.
Well that's that's not exactly true, though, that that's that's

(02:51):
not exactly true. You are and I want to talk
to you about that because I don't want you to
be one of the people who just tried. See trying.
I mean, I gotta tell you to attempt something. You're
gonna have to first try, but I want you to
change your mindset from trying to getting it done.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
See, that's a big difference.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
I'm really more apt to listen to the person that
says to me, I'm gonna get it done. I'm gonna try.
What try does is it allows you to fail. It's
the person that has the mindset that I'm gonna get
it done. It's the person who changes the complexion of things.
I'm gonna get it done. It's very different than I'm
gonna try.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
You know. Look, man, I know this sounds a little.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Harsh, but you gotta stop feeding yourself these little old
wise sayings that ain't it was a valiant triy. Hey man,
you talk to anybody that took second place in the
Super Bowl and see how they feel about their valiant try.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
The only way.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
To gain God's real blessings is you have to try something.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Steve backpeddling, now, listen to me close.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
You have to put forth an effort to allow God
to put his finger on something to bless on your behalf.
You must start to attempt now, insaying getting it done
and I'm gonna try. That's a different of two different

(04:33):
faiths to me that I'm just talking about me. Now,
you may be different, so I can't say this about you,
but I can say this about me. If I say
I'm gonna get it done, I have a lot of
faith in it. I am going to get it done
because I just don't see failure as an option. A

(04:56):
lot of times now, if somebody says to me, like
the Olympic team invited me out to curl one day,
which is throw these stones on the ice. If you're
not familiar with this, very simple men, and so I said, man,
I'd like to give that a try. I went in

(05:16):
full well knowing I may not come away from this
little curling lesson as a person who.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Could make the Olympic team.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
I just wanted to try it because I thought it
looked cool, and I always wanted to get it done.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Well.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
I failed twice. I threw a stone completely into the
other lane. I lost that little ice shoe it shot
out under me. But you know what, I kept trying though.
I kept trying until I got four of them stones
in that circle right where I aim.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
But now had I given up? After I failed.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
After I threw that stone in the other lane, after
I shot my shoe down all the way to the bottom,
ste had the little ice shoe they give you.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
I never did it, but because I was trying.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Something got me together a little bit because of my effort,
and it caused me not to fall the next time,
not to throw it in the other lane, not to
shoot my shoe to the back of the wall.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
All of a sudden, my trying became something.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Now had I stayed out there and it wasn't so cold,
and I went.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Back week after week after week after week. I promise
you I could get it done.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
I could at least know how to compete in a
game of curling.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Might not be the best.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
I might not win the championship, but I could have
got it done to the point where I could have
competed in a game of curling. So sometimes if you're
scared to say I'm gonna get it done, just go
out there and get started.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
You know, learn from every attempt that you make.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
See, don't quit writing yourself off as a failure every
time something don't go right. And when I fail on
that ice, I could have said, man, I can't curl,
but Hold up, man, I'm watching four other women.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Out here curl. Four of the dudes out here, curl
the little kids out here curling. Hold up, Pardner.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
You know, man, So I learned when I threw that
stone on the other ice, when I failed, when when
my shoe shot off, I learned from every attempt a
little bit more about it. And then I said to
myself one point in time, man, I'm gonna get this
stone in that circle. I'm gonna get this stone in

(07:31):
this circle. And guess what I got it done. Now
what you're saying to me, Steve, I'm saying to you
that you gotta get started. That you got to put
forth an effort. Give God something to bless Oh God,
bless me, Oh God, bless me.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Bless you?

Speaker 2 (07:48):
What?

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Bless you? Where? Bless you?

Speaker 2 (07:51):
How?

Speaker 3 (07:52):
Stop basing your results on what you're thinking. You gotta
think higher. You get God in your life, man, He
allows you to think higher, bigger, better more. I was
sitting up in my debt. I came up with a
plan to get out of debt in five years. I
came up with this plan right, I was sitting up
and I was tripping on it. Now, I said, wait
a minute. Man, Hold on, this is what I came

(08:15):
up with. I said, God created heaven and earth, all
of it, the mountains, the sky, the valleys.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
The oceans, trees, the birds.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
The Indian Ocean, all of it, made all of it
in six days, and then he rested on the seven.
So why am I taking to God the five year plan?
If he can create heaven and earth in six days,
why am I walking in there talking about help me

(08:49):
in five years? How is it gonna take God five
years to getting me out of debt? And he made
heaven and Earth in six days through the math. Hell, man,
I ain't that big. You ain't that big. You ain't
in that much trouble. I ain't in that much trouble. See,
God got a way of showing you some things, man,

(09:10):
but it's gonna take some faith, and faith gonna take
some effort on your part. Man, get out and do something. Man,
you God will bless you a little bit and he
give you a little bit more courage. And then all
them attempts you making is gonna and all this so
I'll try. You know what that turned into. I'm gonna
get it done. And at the end of the day,
that's what you have to do, because trying to pay

(09:31):
your rent and not paying your rent is two different things.
You could you can try to play your pay your rent,
or you can get it done. Now, how long you
think you gonna stay in that house trying? You got
to go with the mindset of getting it done. And
if you can put some stuff out there and give
God a chance to put his finger on and bless
it for you, the most stuff he can do for you.
Quit looking around at what everybody else got and gonna

(09:53):
get some of it for yourself.
