Speaker 1 (01:46):
Turn a word in the morning. Up, look me, come
come out.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
You'll think that, Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody.
You are listening to the voice, Come on now, dig
me want to only Steve Harvey, got what radio show man?
What you're doing with it? Trying to do the very
very best I can with it? I really am. You know,
(02:21):
I get tired sometimes on my journey. I'm not gonna
kid you. Trying to make something about yourself is a task.
If you want to attempt to do something, and and
and understand going in that that, If the thing you're
(02:42):
trying to do is to improve yourself, to better your position,
to better your relationship, your family, anything, you're trying to
be a better you. You're trying to make more money, you're
trying to get it together, you're trying to change if
any of those things are in your hopes and dreams.
(03:06):
Know this right here, you are about to face some challenges.
But you might as well go ahead anyway and face
those challenges, because if you don't, you have a whole
other set of challenges to face. You know. It's an
amazing thing, man, how people sit around and they watch
(03:27):
other people strike out to become successful. They sit in
the stands watching these people play out these games, and
they and they and they criticize, They boo, they laugh
at their efforts and everything, and they talk about the
failse he missed that game when he shop boy, he
suck man, he did this. He ain't worth that. I
(03:49):
hear people who sit in stands who criticize people who
are out there on the playing field. Now, when you're
on the playing field, you have a set of challenges
in front of you. You're going to be open to criticism.
You're going to be open to ridicule. You're going to
(04:10):
be talked about when you don't know the people who
are talking about you. Now, here's the upside to being
the player on the field that's facing all the challenges,
to criticisms, the laughing, the joke, to being talked about.
He has something going for him. This person boy woman
(04:36):
child girl man has an opportunity to win. They have
an opportunity to win. And in the game of life,
just because you lose one of the games, or you
lose one of the matches, it don't mean you've lost.
You don't get put out. You keep playing. When you're playing,
(05:02):
here's the upside. You have the opportunity to win. But
guess what, You're gonna win some of the matches. You're
gonna win some of the points. You're gonna make some
of the dunks. You're gonna hit some of them over
the wall. You're gonna hit some out the park. You're
gonna score some goals. You will if you're playing the game.
Here's the problem with the people who don't face criticism,
(05:25):
who nobody boos or cheers for, who sits in the
stands and knows neither victory nor defeat. Those people, without
realizing it, are facing a set of challenges also. And
the challenges they're facing is how I'm gonna live with myself?
(05:49):
What I'm gonna do? Now, what direction am I going in?
Where am I gonna live? Wonder what y'all will hire me,
Wonder if I can get paid for criticize.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Ah, woe is me?
Speaker 5 (06:12):
I can't find the purpose in my life. And man,
I'm just waking up in a state of confusion. I
don't know what to do. Now, let me ask you something,
which one of them set the challenges you'd rather be
faced with? Because if I'm on the flow playing, if
I'm on the field playing, if I'm out on the
court playing, then guess what I got a chance at winning?
(06:37):
But guess what I'm doing every day while I'm playing.
I'm strategizing. I'm waking up with a purpose. I'm waking
up trying to come up with another angle. I'm in
pursuit of a goal every single day, versus the people
in the stands who know neither victory nor defeat. Get
(07:04):
in the game, face the challenges. Better yourself, better your wife,
better your children, better your condition, better your employment status,
better your job, better your career. Take a shot. Come on, man,
what you waiting on? Because the alternative is to watch
other people play the game? You know what I just do?
(07:24):
Sometimes Sometimes I just I get Forbes magazine or Money magazine,
or sometimes I still grab a copy of the rob Report.
I just flip through it just to see I used
to get this book called Unique Homes. Unique Homes is
a magazine that just has a lot of extravagant houses
that's on sale across the country, across the world.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I used to just flip through.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Man, let me just see, man, what the people that's
playing the game out there doing. Stop watching other people
become successful when you could very easily be you. You
make the decision. But when you make the decision to
become successful, get ready for a series of challenges. I
think it's more difficult not to accept the challenge. I
(08:12):
think it's for me. This is just for me. It
may not be the case for you. For me, I
think it's far more difficult to wake up and just
see how life gonna go today, because man, it could
just deal you any kind of hand today. You understand,
I don't like, you know, spades. Let's talk a card
game for example, the game of spades. Really, man, it
(08:34):
ain't a whole lot you can do if you don't
get no spades. Really, it's a little couple of little
strategies you're gonna do. But you can have all this age, king, queen,
diamond all you want, But man, you ain't got no spades.
They cutting them. You're in trouble. Be it with different game.
You can create what's in your hand. You got dealt
a hand too, But you can create a hand. You
(08:56):
can call a trump. You can make diamonds your spades.
You can make hard to clubs your spades. That's what
I'm saying. You can do something with it. It's a
different game, man. You can strategize. I would rather have
a say so in my life than to wake up
every day and just see how it's going. I think
it's more difficult to not accept the challenge to be
(09:17):
something than it is to accept the challenge to be something.
I think it's more difficult to sit around and not
be nothing. I think it's harder to watch everybody life
going somewhere but mine. I think it would be very
difficult for me to sit here and hear them talking
about other people that never mentioned my name. That would
be difficult for me. To see everybody rise and getting
(09:37):
promotions accept me, that would be difficult for me. It
may not be for you, but for me it would
be quite challenging. I would rather accept the challenge of
making something out of my life than to sit there
and criticize those and then watch and see how my
life just may go okay, just a thought.
