Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody you are
listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now. One
and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man got
a radio show because God is in a blessing business.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I just happen to be a recipient.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
I just happened to got a couple of things right,
and Man.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
His grace and mercy carries you the rest of the way.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
All you got to do is get a couple of
things right, and then his grace and his mercy will
take over his favor, his love of you.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
It's already evident.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I mean, you know, because so many times we go
along without even acknowledging him or conferring with him in
our decisions, and we look up when we find ourselves
in a predicament, and He always comes comes to the rescue.
He always manages to show up. He's never too late,
he's never one minute too late. And so in light
(01:03):
of this today I wanted to talk to you about something.
It's another principle of success that I'd like to share
with everybody this morning. And once again, these are not
things that you don't know or you've never heard before.
These are just reminders along the way. And one of
(01:25):
the things you have to be conscious of is don't
be afraid to change. Don't be afraid to change because
change is coming anyway. See, I have a theory, don't
be afraid to change because change is coming anyway. You know,
everything changes, nothing remains the same nothing, and change is inevitable. Now,
(01:49):
you could participate in the change, or you can react
to the change. Are you following me. You can participate
in the change or you can react to the change.
But don't be afraid to change because change is coming anyway. Now,
what I mean by that is this in participating in
(02:12):
the change or reacting in the change, there is a difference.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
See if you react.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
To the change, that means the change has occurred, and
now you have to make the necessary adjustments to the change. Example,
the boss walks in, You think your job is good.
The boss walks in and hands you a pink slip.
That right there, that's a change. Now you didn't participate
(02:41):
in this change because you didn't ask for the pink slip.
But now you got to react to the pink slip.
Whenever you have to react to the change, it's an
adjustment period. It almost throws you off So change is
going to come. It always does. You could participate or
(03:03):
you can react. Or let's say your boss comes in
and hands you the pink slip, and you said, you
know what I've been preparing for this day?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Always knew nothing.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Last forever, I've been working on the sideline, on the
business idea I had, and I had, or I had
several other applications in around town. I was just holding
off to see what was going going. So when they
hand you the pink slip, the transition, the adjustment you
make is a lot more smooth transition because now you
(03:39):
just transition into your new business idea that you've been
working on. Are you transitioned into the apps you already
had in or the contacts you made the preparation for
when the day they come in hand you the pink slip, Well, Steve,
what did they surprise you with it? This is just
one example I'm giving you. So you know, let's let's
not nick pick the message. So what I'm saying to
(04:02):
everybody is, don't be afraid to change, because change is
coming anyway. So many people are stuck in a rut
because of our refusal to change. I was hell bent
on a certain thing going a certain way, and this
is how it was going to go well.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
That that I was thinking didn't really fit.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Now, in my own personal experience, this may not be yours,
but in my own personal experience, the things that I've
had the most trouble letting go of was something I
wanted when I line myself up with the will of
God to ask God what he wanted from me. You understand,
(04:46):
those things came a lot more easy to me because
it was in the will of God. It was what
God wanted me to do too. Okay, see what you
mean by that? Okay, here we go. When things were
going wrong in relationships, for me, what I did was
the biggest mistake I've ever made was I attempted to
(05:08):
fix what was wrong in my relationship outside of the relationship,
feel me. Okay, So I'm out there working my groove
like I want to. Well, now, guess what, there's a
cause and effect for all of that too. Your house
ain't gonna get better, it can't. And then that lays
(05:30):
room for some other things. And so now when the
change come, guess what I got to react to it? Now,
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta have a reaction to it.
Had I lined myself up in the will of God,
the transition may have gone differently. It could have still
ended the relationship. But guess what, some of the pain
(05:54):
I was in I ain't had to go through. I
bought a lot on myself. Sometimes you're pursuing a passion
of yours, and what God really wants you to do
is pursue your gift. So now you're pursuing your passion. Right,
You're passion about golf. You love golf so much. You
(06:15):
just determined, But now you're don messed around. You ain't
made it on the PGA Tour yet, and you forty five,
still talking about I'm gonna play on the PGA Tour. Really, okay,
Maybe you ain't as good as this you think, or
maybe you're not as gifted as you think.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Maybe you're pursuing a passion.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Sometimes, man, we have to change and we have to
ask God what is his will? His will is much simpler.
It's a simpler road. Not going to be easier, it's simpler.
See when I wake up now, it's simple for me
to wake up because I know that are few things
that I have to do. I have to click this
(06:53):
mic On. I have to be positive. I have to
be inspirational. I have to be informative, if I have
to be uplifting, got it, That's what he want. All
I got to do is sit down, close my eyes,
ask God to help me be who he want me
to be. And for the most part, he tell me
what to say. Now, guess what he's done, though, to
(07:16):
create this in me. I went through enough things in
my life. I had enough challenges. I made plenty of mistakes.
So now at my age, I can turn around and
tell somebody listening to me, Okay, this is what I did.
This is a mistake I made. Maybe you see yourself
in this story right here. Maybe you don't have to
go this way. Or this is what I've learned about
becoming successful. Here's a principle that I learned. But then,
(07:40):
guess what I had to be unsuccessful to get it though,
didn't I see, you can't have a testimony without a
test Change is coming. It's inevitable. You can participate or
you can react. I much prefer to participate in the change.
All right, let's go
