Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, uh huh, I sure will a good morning
everybody you are listening to the voice, Come on, digny now,
one and.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
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 use to

(00:30):
describe sometimes trying. But what I've 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, that was the best.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Well that's that's not.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Exactly true though, that that's that's 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
peace 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

(01:14):
from trying to getting it done. See, that's a big difference.
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.

(01:36):
I'm gonna get it done. It's very different than I'm
gonna try.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
You know. Look, man, I know this sounds a little.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Harsh, but you gotta stop feeding yourself these little old
wise sayings that ain't it was a valiant tribe. Hey man,
you talk to anybody that took second place in the
super Bowl and see how they feel about their valiant try.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
The only way.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
To gain God's real blessings is you have to try something.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Steve backpeddaling, Now, listen to me close.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
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 in saying getting it
done and I'm gonna try. That's a difference of two

(02:35):
different faiths. To me, I'm just talking about me.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
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
lot of times now if somebody says to me, like

(03:02):
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 thing, and so I said, man.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
I'd like to give that a try.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
I went in full well knowing I may not come
away from this little curling lesson as a person who
could make the Olympic team.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
I just wanted to try it because I thought it
looked cool, and I always wanted to get it done.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
When 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. But

(03:52):
now had I given up after I failed, after I
threw that stone in the other lane, after I shot
my shoe down all the way to the bottom side
of the little ice shoe they give.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
You, I never did it.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
But because I was trying, 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. All of a sudden, my
trying became something. Now had I stayed out there and
it wasn't so cold, and I went.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Back week after week after week after week. I promise
you I could get it done.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
I could at least know how to compete in a
game of curling.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Might not be the best.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
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, you know, learn from every
attempt that you make. See, don't quit writing yourself off
as a failure every time something don't go right. When

(05:03):
I fail on that ice, I could have said, man,
I can't curl, But hold up, man, I'm watching four
other women out here curl, four of the dudes out
here curl, the little kids out here curling. Hold up, Pardner,
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.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
More about it.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
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 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

(05:46):
to bless. Oh God, bless me, Oh God, bless me.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Bless you?

Speaker 2 (05:50):
What?

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Bless you? Where? Bless you? How?

Speaker 2 (05:54):
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'm 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,

(06:15):
hold on, this is what I came up with. I said,
God created heaven and earth, all of it, the mountains,
the sky, the valleys.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
The oceans, trees, the birds, the Indian Ocean, all of it.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
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.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
In six days.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Why am I walking in there talking about help me
in five years? How is it gonna take God five
years to getting me out of debt?

Speaker 3 (06:59):
And he made it in earth in six days? You
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.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
See, God got a way of showing you some things, man,
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,

(07:31):
that's what you have to do, because trying to pay
your rent and not paying your rent is two different things.
You can 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

(07:51):
it for you, the most stuff he can do for you.
Quit looking around what everybody else got, and gonna get
some of it for yourself.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Okay, all right here, lets me easy to deb Harvey
