Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody
you are listening to the voice.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Come on, dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey
got a radio show, you know. Today I was thinking
of what I would say today and it just dawned
on me this way, and I just want to share
this with everybody listening. You've got to get some help
to make it through life. I cannot imagine where I
would be if it was not for the help of
(00:31):
my God, if it wasn't for his grace and mercy,
if I did not have the ability to lean on him,
and all the times I've had to lean on Him,
which has become a daily basis, I have no idea
where I would be, but clearly I know for a
matter of fact, I would not be here today. You
have got to get some help to get through this
(00:53):
thing called life. I am begging you to look into it. Man,
You've got to form a relationship with God.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
God.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Without a relationship with God, this thing called life is
daunting at times.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I don't care who you are.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I know I'm speaking the truth right now, because listen,
no matter who you are, what job title you have,
what aspirations you may have, I don't care what your
educational background is or is not. It does not matter
if you don't get a real relationship going on with God.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I don't see how you can make it.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
So many people are faking in fronting out here like
they got it going on, and you don't know, And
you really don't know how many people that you think
in your neighborhood had it going on because you saw
a car pull up in the driveway, or they house
look bigger, or the grass is cutting nicer, and you
only find out that a foreclosure.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Side on they house too. See, you don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
The mask that people put on to parade around in
is for appearance sakes. So a lot of people you
looking at that you think got it going on, who
might be the pattern of success that you want to trace.
You got to be real careful with that because it
may not be as it appears to be. But one
thing is for sure, no matter what's going on in
(02:10):
your life, I know that behind whatever mask I'm wearing,
or I realized, no matter what the appearances may be,
that on the other side of me, I'm gonna be
just fine. See, you may be outwardly people hating on you,
talking about you dragging your name through the mud. Look, man,
(02:31):
people can say stuff about you. Most people talking about
you don't even know you. They just participating in it.
You can have that appearance going on, but behind you,
within you, if you have a relationship with God, it
don't matter because you can be all right. I've seen
it get real stormy on the outside for me, but
on the inside I just had to feel and I
(02:53):
was gonna be all right.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
See. That's what the relationship gives you. Man.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
It gives you the confidence to know that the things
that you're going through are temporary. That is just the
space that you happen to be in. Like I said
the other day, you got to remember something. The road
to success is always under construction. You might as well
get ready for that. If you planing on changing, getting better,
(03:17):
doing something about your health.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
If you decide, hey, look I.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Just would like to live a longer, more prosperous life,
or hey I want to make X amount of dollars,
or hey man, I'm gonna stop staying out in these
streets and I'm gonna come home and treat my family
way they are to be treated. I don't care what
decision you make when you strike out on that road
to success. It's under construction, partner. There's barrels out there,
there's wide turns, there's detours.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
It's being out there holding signs saying slow down. Sometimes
they put the stop sign up. You got to wait
and watch people go by you on the other side.
Then before you can take off again. You've all been
on the road with construction on it. It can be
so frustrating. And the whole time you on that road.
I know, when I'm on the road we can under construction.
(04:05):
I'm always thinking of an alternative path. I ain't ever
set in traffic under construction, man, and thought of if
I get off on this exit, where would it take me?
Not knowing, but just man, could I keep moving if
I go that way? That's a dangerous thing sometimes, see,
because oftentimes when we get off the road to success
(04:27):
and we take that other path, we get further and
further off course. Because wasn't no detools signed for that,
Just a decision I made on my own because I
don't like sitting here. Sometimes I don't have the patience
I ought to have, So I've taken some what I
thought might be shortcuts. But I got to tell you something.
Ain't no shortcuts on the road to success. Even the
detour signs wind up taking you a little bit out
(04:50):
your way. And look background. I remember one time I
was coming from Las Vegas and that was some type
of chemical spill in a truck and you could almost
see the smoke.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Up ahead in very faint.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
So they detoreed us through the desert and we had
to go all the way around, and I drove, man
like an hour and a half out of the way.
And when they entered us back on the freeway where
we were to go back to La As soon as
I got it that exit to get back on the freeway,
I looked right there and there the accident was. Now
(05:25):
it was an hour and a half hour forty five
all the way around in that desert to get back
to almost the same place. But it was the best
way to go, because see, that was the route to take.
And that's what you got to understand about trying to
make the right decision to be successful, that the road
to success is always under construction. You gonna have to
(05:48):
go round a little bit, so quick stop being impatient
with I don't want to go around. I'm gonna go
this way, You go that way if you want to
just follow the detour science. See, because somebody that came
up this road before you have, somebody done travel the
road already and they took the way around, and yeah,
it seemed like it's a longer way, and you want
to make that other decision. But stay on the road
(06:10):
to success. It's under construction, man, That's just the way
it goes. Don't lose your patience and try to create
a shortcut for yourself. I'm gonna go away. Ain't nobody
ever gone way? Hold up, Pardoner, you really think you're
gonna do that?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
There's oftentimes a lot of rewards when you go the
least travel path. But the road to success is the
least travel path. That's what you keep getting mixed up.
You keep thinking if you go another way. No, no,
stay on the road to success. That is the least
travel path. It's under construction. You can go out there
with your machete if you want to talking about cutting
(06:45):
new trails. You think the road to success is under construction,
take the other route and get that machete out and
see how long you be out there trying to cut
a path. Sometimes, man, you just got to stay patient.
To success has been traveled before by millions of people
in front of you, everybody that has some setbacks in life.
(07:07):
But don't get off the road to success just because
you having some setbacks, just because you see some orange
barrels up, just because there's some men out there with
vest on what they got to do with you? Everybody,
everybody that's trying to be successful, is on that road.
Your relationship with God helps you guide yourself around the barrels.
(07:27):
It helps you have the patience to go around that way.
He gonna get you back where you gotta be, but
you got to go out there so you can learn
some things. See, you need God to make it in life,
because the road to success is always under construction. He
calms you down when the barrels is up. He lets
(07:48):
you know it's gonna be all right. He rewards you
with the patience to finish because He gonna get you
right back where you need to be and you can
get on which way.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
You is going. Okay, All right, y'all, we're gonna try
that today. Listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show
