Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, Joy, you know you love you? Turn turn I can't.

(01:40):
I got to turn the mouth turn. You probably got
to turn the mouth turn mount, turn the water the monica. Look,
come come out you think that, Uh huh, I sure will.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Good morning everybody.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
You all listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now.
One and only.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man got a radio
show because God is in a blessing business. I just
happen to be a recipient. I just happened to got
a couple of things right, and man, his grace and
mercy carries you the rest of the way. All you

(02:30):
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. It's already evident. 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,

(02:51):
and he always 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 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

(03:15):
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 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

(03:39):
to change because change is coming anyway. You know, everything changes,
nothing remains the same nothing, and change is inevitable. Now,
you could participate in the change, or you can react
to the change. Are you following me. You can participate

(03:59):
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
the change or reacting in the change, there is a difference. See,

(04:19):
if you react 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.

(04:40):
Now you didn't participate 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.

(05:03):
You can participate or 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. Always knew nothing. Last forever, I've been working
on the sideline on the business idea I had, and

(05:25):
I had or I had several other applications in around town.
I was just holding off to see what was going
on going. So when they hand you the pink slip,
the transition, the adjustment you make is a lot more
smooth transition because now you 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

(05:47):
you made the preparation for when the day they come
in 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 everybody is,
don't be afraid to change, because change is coming anyway.

(06:08):
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 gonna go. Well, that that I was thinking
didn't really fit. Now in my own personal experience, this
may not be yours, but in my own personal experience,

(06:31):
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, those things came a lot
more easy to me because it was in the will

(06:52):
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 fix what was wrong in my relationship

(07:12):
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.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
It can't.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
And then that lays 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

(07:53):
guess what, some of the pain 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 passion about golf.

(08:14):
You love golf so much you just determine. 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. Maybe you're pursuing
a passion. Sometimes, man, we have to change and we

(08:36):
have to ask God what is his will? His will
is much simpler. It's a simpler rule. 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 mic on. I have to be positive.

(08:57):
I have to be inspirational. I have to be informative.
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
create this in me. I went through enough things in

(09:20):
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
guess what, I had to be unsuccessful to get it though,

(09:43):
didn't I. So 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 Morning Show.
