Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody,
y'are listening to the voice.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Come on digny now.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. I
have something, and it so describes how I was living.
It so captures the feelings that I had about beginning
on the pathway of my dreams. It so describes how
I felt when I was about to attempt something. And
(00:34):
I have some striking news for you. It describes often
how I feel still today to a degree. So let
me tell you what that is. Here's an analogy that
I've heard a couple of different ways, but I've kind of,
you know, fixed it around to where I can drink
it better, and I think it fits my personality to
(00:57):
describe it to people best this way. Talked often about
the urgency of doing something with your life, of getting
started today, of stopping the procrastination and putting it off,
and waiting on all your ducks to line up in
a row, and waiting until the stars aligned themselves. If
(01:17):
you're waiting on such a thing, you're never gonna get started.
I don't know too many people who can say that
all the ducks just lined up in the row.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Things happen.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Even when you get them lined up, one of the
ducks get out of line, or somebody knock over the domino.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Something happens. But here's the point I'm getting at.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
God has so many blessings available to you.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
You who's listening.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
God has so many blessings available to you from.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Where you are right now.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I don't care what you've gotten yourself into or what
you've done. God has so many blessings that he can
send your way.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
But you have to do something.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
See a lot of people just sit around and go man,
I don't know, and something always happening to you. You're
always getting a break, You're always doing this. You always
doing man, do nothing come my way. Listen to me.
If nothing ever comes your way. You know why that is.
It's because you're not doing anything. I promise you you're not.
Here's a deal. God has all these blessings he wants
(02:30):
to send you, but you got to give him something
to work with. Now, come on, God will bless you.
God can touch people's hearts on your behalf. He can
move situations around for you. He can align the stars.
He can set the ducks up in the row, but
align the stars and move people around, and touch people's
hearts and set.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
The ducks up in the row.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
For what have you put forth any effort? Have you
made a single step in any direction to do the
right thing the right way that gives him something to
put his finger on. Come on, man, God can only
bless you according to your faith. If you have a
little bit of faith, give him that, Let him work
(03:13):
with that. You know, man, I didn't always start with
these speeches you hear in the morning. Now. I ain't
always had these. I grew to these. I stumbled my
way to these. I messed up my way to these here.
I got it wrong so many times to be able
to sound like I got some sense, I said it often.
Failure is a wonderful teacher. Do you know how many
(03:36):
times I have had to have failed to have what
I have in my head today? I'm telling you, man,
it's a process. People get mad at the process. You
got to do something to give God something to work with.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
He'll bless you.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
But what you want me to bless If you ain't
putting forth any effort, you can get blessed from wherever
you are in your life, wherever your starting point is,
wherever you find yourself wound up. You can get it
back from there. I've done it, man, by the grace
of God, I've done it.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I got over.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Man. I learned some things along the way. Because here's
the deal. As long as God keeps waking you up
in the morning, he ain't through with you yet. When
he's done, you're done. But if God still has a
plan for you you wake up in the morning, he
still got some more work for you to do. You
wake up in the morning. So if you keep waking up, man,
it's something that God wants from you, would love to
(04:29):
have from you, and he can work with you, man,
if you just walk towards him a little bit.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Here's the deal.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I know it's hard for the average person to start
because the fear of the unknown is incredible.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
What if I fail? What if I don't get picked?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
You know, one of the hardest things I ever did
was walking in to quit my job. Oh man, let
me tell you about that day when I decided that
I was gonna be a full time comedian after winning
an amateur night one time, quitting your jail, following your dream,
going for it despite all the nay says, it's like
(05:06):
stepping off a cliff. It's like actually just walking off
the edge of a cliff, hoping, hoping now not really knowing,
but hoping. Hoping is the bad basis of faith. I
stepped off that cliff hoping that my parachute would open
(05:30):
and allow me to drift down.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
See.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I've never scott dived before, but I would imagine part
of the thrill. And I don't know this because I'm
not going to sCOD dive to find out. I think
part of the thrill for people is the danger part
of throwing yourself out a plane and how it feels
to be free falling, but the whole time they're free falling,
having this exhilarating over the top moment.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
You have got to believe in your heart of heart cards.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
You have got the hope with everything in you that
when you pull this cord the shoot opens or else.
This ain't a good move at all. But you've packed
your shoote yourself. You've taken the lessons, so you go
ahead and you make the leap. Now, the only thing
about quitting your job and following your dream is you
ain't really been trained all that good for this. You
(06:21):
done packed your shoot, but you ain't never opened it before.
So I walked off this cliff. That's what it was like.
And you following your dreamers like you walking off a cliff.
Here's the part where people don't never make the jump.
They see somebody like myself who jumped off the cliff
and the paschute don't open right away, and I hit
a couple of rocks on the way down.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I got my back cut up pretty bad.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
They see that three years living in a car, man,
he got it life toe down jumping off that cliff.
I ain't jumping off that cliff. But see what you
don't understand is you don't know it. But eventually the
shoot we'll open. And I'm at the parachute opening part
of my life, man, where the shoot then open and
I'm drifting and I'm able to.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Guide my chute over the Paris and glide.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I've glided over the African and seen what it looked like.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
It's a slow ride down.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
When the pass chute finally opened and my back didn't
heal too and the cuts.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
That I had on me, I remember now I know
how to stay away from the edge.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
But the Paris chute then opened, and I'm enjoying my
life for the first time. I'm gliding, but I got
hit up against the rock. I can see more. I
get a chance to see more things. I get to
glide and see more parts of the world. I'm living
my dream. Your parachute is gonna open, but I'll tell
you one thing for shore, It'll never open if you
(07:46):
don't step off that cliff. You got to step off
that cliff. God to get the passchute open for you.
But you got to jump, baby. That's the hard part,
ain't it now. Caution, it is the end of this
story right here today, when you jumping, you're
Speaker 2 (07:58):
