Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on you.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Uh huh, I sure will come on and everybody you're
listening to the voice, come on, dig me now, one
and only Steve Harvey. I got a radio show, just
trying to give God some back, just some back of
what even gave me, just a portion, you know. Just
(00:24):
I'm just trying, man, to to to show some type
of gratitude for all his blessings. I'm just trying to, man,
just just get it right sometimes, you know what I mean.
I mean, man, you just can't do what you want
to do and just live wrong all the time. And
you got it at one point in time, Steve, come home. Man,
(00:46):
come on, man, you could do better. I know you can.
You know saying and you know what I had to do.
I had to stop saying I'm gonna try to do better,
and I just had to say, hey, man, I'm going
to do better. You know, Try is just to put
forth in e F and then if it don't work,
well okay. But if you make up in your mind
that I'm going to do something, then trying isn't enough.
(01:09):
It's getting it done is the only thing that matters. See,
it's the difference between doing and trying. We're gonna try
to win the game, or we're gonna go out here
to win the game.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Now, trying to win the game means that you could lose.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
But when you got in your mind made up, most
athletes will tell you that they go out there with
the full intent and purpose of winning and winning. Only
see they don't put the second place finish on the
cover of Sports Illustrated.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Second place don't get you there. You you got to win.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
And now take it out of the scope of athletics,
but keep it in that type of analogy in life. Man,
you just want to You want to win in life,
don't you. I mean, at the end of the day,
don't you want to be on the cover of Sports
Illustrated of life?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Don't you want to be recognized for your hard work?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Don't you want, you know, to be recognized within the
bonus structure down at your job. Don't you want to
have your plaque up on the wall down at your job.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I mean most people do. Some people could care less.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Some people don't care about looking good or being their best,
and that's cool, But I ain't talking to them though.
I'm talking to you. I'm talking to those of you
who want to be the best you can be. You know,
people kill me when they getting mad at people, and
he Brown knows and he all up on the employee
of the month man, the dude doing his job to
the best of his ability, and he getting recognized for it.
(02:28):
What they got to do with all that you're talking about?
Because you ain't up there. There's amazing, man, how people
describe other people's success.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
He's so lucky. Lucky?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Hey man, do they kind of get you a little
bit when people call you lucky? Well, let me tell
you what luck really is, y'all. Lucky is when hard
work bumps up into opportunity. Some people call that luck,
But hold on, let's think about this. If you wasn't
working hard, an opportunity presented itself, what would you call that?
(02:57):
But see, when you've been working hard, an opportunity presents
herself and it bumps up into each other. Now people
want to call that luck, but hold up, he got
to park though to day, ain't paying no attention to Yeah,
that opportunity came by, But if you had not been
working hard and the hard work had not ran up
in the opportunity, what would.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
You have, No, sir, it's not luck. It's work.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
It is work, because there's a scripture that says faith
without works is dead. But my mama was a Sunday
school teacher. She taught me enough. Though Now I know
difference between right and wrong, just like you do. You
ain't got to you know, it kills me when people
write a strawberry letter?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Am I wrong for this?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
You know?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Well look at this, read your letter? Are you wrong
for this? You know you're wrong? What you don't need else.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
To be telling, you know, But I'm gonna do this anyway.
Well else, he go ahead, though, do what you want
to do. But you know what, y'all, here's the best
advice I can give you. This is what I really
came to talk about this morning, but I got sidetracked
because I listened. Get out of your own way. So
many of us are blocking our home. Blessings were just
(04:01):
in our own way. We are in our own way,
and one of the most dangerous ways you can get
in your way is to do it your way, to
get it figured your way, and to lock in on
your way. And this the way it's got to go.
Do you know how many people are blocking their blessing?
Do you know how long I block mind with that
(04:23):
mindset right there.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Look, because this the way you do it, you think
that makes it the right way.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You think jazz, because you done thought on it long
and hard, and that's what you really want.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Do you really think that your way is the right
way or could that be a better way? See?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Until I started listening to God and started paying attention
to his way, man, I was spinning my wheels. Man,
I was out here so determined this how I was
gonna do it. But you know, I had to learn
how to get out of my own way because just
because I could do it my way didn't mean it
was the right way. I had to get out of
my own way. Just get out your way, man, Now
(05:03):
what does that mean? That means, see, set your goals,
That means have your dreams. I'm saying set your goals, man,
I ain't saying don't set goals. Listen to me. Set
your goals. What is it you want to happen? What
is it you'd like to have? What is it you
like to be? What do you aspire to? Set your
(05:26):
goals and set your dreams. Now, take your goals and
your dreams to God and ask God to show you how. Man,
you can save yourself a lot of pain. Listen to
somebody who did it his way for so long. And
when I finally got out of my way, out of
(05:46):
my own way. When you've heard old people say let
go and let God, you've heard them say that didn't
I didn't get it, but I got it. Now, let
go and let God. And it's amazing little saying. Now
you know you may not get it now. It took
me a bunch of years to get it too. But
when I took my goals and my dreams and my
(06:07):
vision to God and I said, God, this is what
I hope for, this is what I aspired to, This
is what I want to be, this is why I
would love to get to. Then I said, help me,
show me how point me in the right direction. Let
me follow your footsteps, guide me and give me a
spirit of discernment. Show me who wrong? Because I meet
(06:29):
people every day. Ain't up to no good with me?
Every single day. Oh man, man, I can't believe I
run up in to you. Man, the Lord told me
something was gonna happen to me today. Well, see, I
talked to him every day. He did not mention you
to me. He ain't said nothing to me. He didn't
tell me what was gonna happen in mine. Now I
don't mean it can't happen because I'm open to it.
(06:51):
So really, man, I'm proud, and please know I'm listening
as well as I've ever listened before. But get yourself together, though,
see know your goals and your dreams, and then let
God show you how to do it.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
He'll do it. You know.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
It's so important, everybody, that you get focused, that you
aim for something, that you dream of, something, that you
aspire to something. But it's the most the best thing
you can do. After you do all that, Man, get
God involved in it. Man, talk to him. I mean,
why would you not what you got to lose. You
ain't got to go down there and make no big
scene and run laps around the church and run up
(07:28):
there and throw yourself on the altar and scream and
flip over and throw money in the ad. You ain't
got to do that. This you and God, Man, This
you and God. You know you got to serve and
praise Him the way you do it. You gotta let
nobody else tell you how it's done. It's a personal relationship.
People kill me if you don't do it this way.
If you don't come here to this church, and you
don't run around in this circle, and you don't get
(07:48):
flipped in an you don't, Hey man, you better go
have a relationship with God. See what that's about, you understand,
or nobody throw you off with all that? All right,
all right, y'all talk to him. He loved to hear
from you today.
