Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are our last break of
the day on this Monday, and time now for some
closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey. Well,
you know, I don't, I don't really all I've been
thinking about a lot of things, you know, and I
was thinking of just on a positive tip, you know,

(00:21):
to just kind of just always encourage people to stay
with it. You know. Oftentimes you know when you are,
you know, when you have dreams and aspirations, all of us,
from time to time they get sidelined. All of our
dreams and aspiration takes a hit along the way to

(00:42):
attain in them, and there's always a detool on the way.
There's always some confusion, a set of barrels set up.
It's just really hard to see a vision from start
to finish scott free with no troubles. So if you're
in that position today and you're finding yourself waning in

(01:04):
your dreams and visions, it seems like it's just not
happening the way you want it. I want you to
understand it's not going to happen just the way you
want it. That is the way it works. And I
know that's not great news, but I'm it's the truth.
Nobody gets where they want to be in life just

(01:26):
the way they want it. So if you're thinking that
you're gonna get the Scott Free, that you will just
have a smooth sailing, that's not the way it works.
Life isn't designed that way. So factor in the fact
that you are going to have troubles and difficulties along
the way. And if you stopped your visions or dreams

(01:49):
because of that reason, right there, the rule is simple.
Here's the rule. You can start again today. You can
just start again today and guess what. You don't need
anybody's permission. All you have to do is rewrite your

(02:11):
dreams down on your vision board, rererereclaim victory, ask God
for your helping, your strength, and get back to making
your dreams and visions come true for your life. You
all listen to me. Stop waking up just going about

(02:32):
the day seeing how it's going without any projects, without
any visions, without any aspirations, without a plan to attain
the things that you really want in life. Stop waking
up like that with nothing to do. Make a plan

(02:52):
at night, pray about it, ask God for help. You know, no,
look when you rate when you make your plan, that's
just the request you're asking God to help you come true.
Now to how you get there, it's gonna be difficult.
It's going to be difficult. But once you started, that

(03:13):
is no one who says you can. So y'all just
get back into pocket, get back up on the horse,
get back to dreaming again, get back to wanting to
hope and to believe in again. Don't let the setbacks
and the troubles of life stop you, because I got
news for you. You're gonna always have them. You're going

(03:36):
to always have them. And like today, man, even though
I'm still in Africa, I just went back through my
phone because what I do is when I see motivational
phrases or scriptures that really register with me, I take
my phone out and I take her the picture of it.
And then I've created this album in my photo section
called motivation, and I file all those pictures in my

(04:00):
motivational thing. And when I find myself wavering, feeling a
little uncertain, feeling a little shaky about decisions, I go
back to my motivational folder in my photos and I
just started reading the little quotes I got in there.
I just started going down the line. I've got some
stuff in there, man, that I've had in there for years. Man,

(04:23):
But I can still read from time to time, you know,
like like, for example, I was today I read this
when it says I can't cry about having a lot
on my plate when my whole goal was to eat.
I can't cry about having a whole lot on my

(04:45):
plate when my whole goal was to eat. And man,
I find myself doing that. Not tell my lord, I'm
over burdened. Man, I'm tired. You know, I got all this,
I got all that. Hey, Steve, did you hear yourself?
You got all this, and you got all that what
you're tripping for? And I gathered myself, you know, And

(05:07):
then you know, you know, I have a lot of
stuff in there. Like one of them I read to
day was, Oh my bad, I'm sorry for bothering you.
I forgot. I only exist when you need me for something.
That's God. Tell me, oh my bad, I'm sorry for
bothering you. I forgot. I don't exist when you need

(05:28):
me for something. I have all these little things, man,
that always motivate me. Here's another one. Winners are not
people who never fail, but people who never quite failure
is a failure is a part of the process. Here's
another one. I have not failed. I've just found ten

(05:53):
thousand ways that don't work. Thomas Edison. I have not failed.
I just found ten thousand ways that don't work. Do
you see? Success isn't how far you got, but the
distance you travel from where you started. That's a proverb.

(06:19):
And I just keep stuff like that, and you know, always,
And last one I read this morning was I want
to inspire people. I want someone to look at me
and say, because of you, I didn't give up. Yeah,
that's always been important to me. So y'all stay motivated,

(06:40):
stay the cause, find a way to self motivate yourself
when you down, and get back to dreaming and believe
in Again. Those are my clothes, Morse, y'all have a
nice stay received them all. For all Steve Harvey contests
