Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, I sure will.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning everybody you are listening to the voice, Come on,
dig me now, one and all is Steve Harvey got
a radio show.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Particular me this morning. Steve Harvey got a radio show
filled with nothing but joy and hope about it too.
You know, it's a great thing to be able to
wake up in the morning with peace in your heart
and joy. Peace and joy is is immeasurable. It has
a value attached to it, and I have no idea
(00:35):
what it is. It's invaluable.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
It is worth so much more than any amount of
money you can make. Peace and joy. I have not
always had that. I've not always been a peaceful person
or a person who lived his life and enjoy spirit.
It took an arrival at this moment. Some people arrived
(00:59):
sooner than all. I wish I had arrived at this
point sooner, but I think it was necessary for me
to learn a few things too. That's the amazing thing
I've learned about life is that instead of reflecting on
your past incidences and calling them failures, instead of focusing
(01:22):
on the negative and calling them bad times, I look
at them now as experiences. I had to have those
experiences that were negative, that were good, positive, wrong, evil.
I had to have all those experiences to become to
(01:43):
shape who we are today. We all have to have them.
If you look back at all the negative experiences you've had,
all the things that you called failures, all the businesses
I started that went under, all of the jobs I
had that I was fire it from, all the shows
that were canceled, all of the times I thought I
(02:05):
was going to get something happened in my way and
turned out I didn't get it at all. When you
look at all of it, all of it, hopefully along
the way, what you have done as a person is
you've taken those negatives and those failures and you've used
them for what they actually are. They are experiences, and
(02:26):
they've now created in you an experienced person, and you
know that is worth something. That's then it becomes a positive.
But what too many people do is they let the
negative things that have happened in their life, They allow
the failures that have happened in them lives never to
(02:46):
manifest themselves as experiences. And you sit up there and
you dwell on it, and you dwell on it until
you have this woe is me attitude. Stop looking at
it like that. Y'all, you go through things in order
to become the person that you are today. I tell
you who you sometimes have to sit down and talk to.
Sometimes you ought to sit down to an inmate that
(03:09):
really gets it, an inmate that says, man, I've actually
heard inmates say it to me and write to me,
and they've said things like, man, come into prison, save
my life. Now, those of you have never got how
can he say a thing like that? But some men know, man,
I was so far out there that if I'd have
stayed out there, I wouldn't even be here today. This
(03:31):
actually allowed me to stop, spend some time with myself
and learn some things about me. Now does that happen
for everybody?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Like that?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
And a but here's a person who has taking an
experience that could be considered a failure or negative and
turn it into a positive and using it to enrich
their lives. You can do it no matter what your
set of circumstances is. I recommend to everybody that you
try changing your outlook in order to change your outcome.
(03:59):
Everything that happen to you that's negative or you consider
failure their experiences. You've got to go through these things
in order to have the knowledge that you have today.
So I wish that I had come to this arrival
that I'm in now, this place of peace and joy.
But then guess what, I will not know what I know.
I couldnot share some of the things that I'm able
(04:20):
to share if I had not gone through some of them.
And sometimes that's the purpose of them. It's to teach
you a lesson because you know, God has a plan
for you. He really really does, and eventually He can
use you no matter how old you are, and he
can use you no matter how young you are. If
you just say, Okay, I'm ready to hear your plan.
I've tried mine. Mine ain't worked out. What's your plan
(04:43):
for me? God, what do you want me to do?
That's why I say every day Steve already got radio show, y'all.
Cause man, I ain't see it coming. I didn't see
that coming. I ain't see this book coming. I ain't
I ain't seen half of the amazing things that are
happened to me. I didn't plan them. I was sitting there, man,
asking God for some direction. And then I got smart
(05:05):
enough to stay watchful, be a hard worker. Now because
faithful our works is dead and it came, and I'll
remind you of this. God has given all of you
a gift. Every last one of you listening has a gift.
God has never created a soul that he did not
provide a gift to. God gives everyone a gift, and
a gift is not just singing, rapping entertainment. The richer
(05:29):
gifts are much more than that. Teachers are gifted people
who really have the gift of sharing information. That's a gift,
you know, and in that you can become great.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
A lot of people think that successful and greatness is
the same thing. Cornell West said it at my daughter's graduation.
He was a spokesperson. He said something so pointed. He said,
don't ever confuse success with greatness. The two have nothing
to do with each other. See, people determine success about
money and fame and all this here, but greatness. Greatness
(06:07):
ain't got nothing to do with your money. It ain't
got nothing to do with your fame. It's how you
conduct your life. It's how meaningful and significant you become
in your community, at your church, on your job, to
the cub Scout unit that you run, to the little
girl's lives that you change that that little center in
the hood where you just one place of hope to
(06:28):
so many people and they come back. And I used
the example of Lou Dazzler who passed away in LA
who had the Boys and Girls Challenges Club out in
LA And he wasn't a rich man at all, and
if you walk by him, you wouldn't even know who
he was. But if you look at all the people
who have gone on to become politicians, who have gone
on to become CEOs, who have gone on to become athletes,
(06:50):
that have passed through this man's small building in the
hood in La, he was great. Trust me, man, Prayer
changes things. Say it all the time. But when you
see people become successful or great that somebody praying somewhere
may not even be them.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Maybe it's they.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Mama. You know, I think of Tiger Woods and all
the greatness he's accomplished. You know, they always talk about
his father and all this. Here somebody somewhere praying for
Tiger Woods. I got cash money riding on that Tiger Woods.
Mama is a praying woman or something. My mother was.
She prayed me into this place because she used to
call me all the time praying for you, boy, and
(07:29):
prayer changes things. It really does. Try it today. It
can change you. It has changed millions of people. Open
up yourself to the greatness that's in you, because God
is giving you a gift. Matter of fact that you
ain't using it. Who fought you think that is? I'm
just telling you you got one, and if you start
praying about it, it'll manifest itself and you can become
(07:51):
one of two things, successful or great or both. You
can make the decision today to
Speaker 1 (08:00):
