Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody.
You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Well,
nothing changes about that. Nothing changes about that. Man. I
was just getting ready to come on the air this morning.

(00:24):
I was just thinking, Man, I was just having a
reflective moment of just how really good God has been
to me. I just it's it's it's man, Let me
just say that again, how really good God has been
to me. And here's a cold part. In spite of myself,

(00:47):
you understand, in spite of all my shortcomings, in spite
of all of my flaws, and and and and and
in spite of all of what anybody has said about me, God,
through his grace and mercy, just keeps me anyway. So
many of us are exceptional people, but we refuse to

(01:14):
just go ahead and be exceptional. We settle for the ordinary.
We follow the pack. We try to fit in. Man,
oh man, oh man. You know I've heard my wife
say this to my children all the time when she's
scolding him or talking to him. She'd be talking to
him about leadership. You know, why are you following everybody

(01:37):
when God clearly made you to lead. So many of
us are born, and so many of you are born
to be exceptional people, but we always trying to follow
the pack. Why would you try to fit in? Why
would you try to be like everybody else be ordinary?

(01:58):
Why would you follow the pack when God has created
you to be exceptional? The key word in exceptional is
except you. Ever you ever dine this right here? You
know everybody did that accept me. Everybody felt that way
except me. Everybody said that except me. Everybody won't wanted that,

(02:22):
accept me. Everybody went over there except me. Everybody jumped
in except me except me. See why have you said
that in your life? If you were not to be exceptional?
See you got to say everybody except me at one
point in YO to I don't know who ain't done it?

(02:45):
You know everybody wanted everybody voted no except me. See,
so you're not You're not created to follow the pack.
You ain't created to fit in. You ain't created to,
uh you know, to be ordinary. You will create it
to be exceptional. As exceptional as your fingerprint on your
finger is. You wire created to be exceptional. Why not

(03:08):
make this the year that you go head on and
be exceptional. Why won't this be the year that you
decide in your mind? But just has to be a
decision that we make now, were not following the pack
no more. We not trying to fit in no more.
We ain't settling for ordinary no more. We're gonna be exceptional.

(03:30):
But you know you got to go ahead and follow that.
You got to get on the exceptional path, because that's
what you were created for. Why be ordinary? You know?
But all of this this comes, it has to start
with a thought. You got to first think something. Thoughts
become things. A man is as he thinketh. That's all

(03:52):
you will ever be. So what are your thoughts today?
Why not have exceptional thoughts instead of ordinary thoughts? Why
not have have exceptional thoughts instead of fitting me in thoughts?
So why you want to be like everybody else? Why
you want to be ordinary when you could possibly be
extraordinary with a change of your mind, a change of

(04:13):
your venue, And you don't have to be any other
kind of way? Just because my mama was this, well,
my daddy was this way? Or this the school I
went to? This? What race I belong to? This is
my sexual preference, this is my this, this is my
dad how many? How many? How many excuses you need?
I mean, I'm any excuse? What what? What? What? What's

(04:33):
it gonna be this year that we let another three
hundred and sixty five days slip by without improving our condition,
our place, our spot, our life, the quality of life
we have. We cannot afford to keep letting all these
years go by without changing. You're an exceptional person. How

(04:57):
many times have you set up and said, everybody did
that accept me? You know I was only everybody jumped
in except me. I told him, I knew it. Everybody
voted for that, accept me, And now look at us, man,
it seemed like everybody went that way except me. Okay,

(05:18):
do you get it? Do you understand what's being said
to you that all accept me is because couldn't it be?
Because you're an exceptional person and it's time for you
to take control of that. It's time for you to
start thinking different. It's time for you to start acting
on what you think. It's time for you to start
doing something about it. It's time for you to stop

(05:41):
taking each and every day that God gives us for
granted and letting them go by the wayside like you
got plenty more well, you may have plenty more, but
guess what what you wasting the ones you got for?
I got you young, and you feel like you're gonna
live forever. Eh okay, cool, But let me ask you something.
See here go the part about it. I suppose you

(06:03):
do live. See see, everybody worried about dying. But I
got news for you. Suppose you keep on living. You
want to keep living in the condition you in now.
You want to keep living with the money you got now.
You want to keep living with the relationship you got now.
You want to keep living by yourself like you are now.
You want to keep wanting the right relationship, the right

(06:23):
man to the right woman, but you keep getting the
wrong one. You want to keep doing that for the
rest of your life. Problem ain't dying. There's problem is
if you keep on living. Who wants to keep on
living just the way they are right now? And if
you can say I'm cool, what I am? Just the
way I am right now? In cool, this conversation ain't
for you. Ain't got no problem with that. You know

(06:44):
you know what I say. Greatness ain't for everybody being exceptional.
Ain't for everybody becoming extraordinary. Ain't for everybody. Heck, becoming successful,
ain't fut everybody. I got it. And you can come
up with a way to justify your non existence in
your ordinary life all you want, and that's fine and dandy.
I ain't got no problem with it. Because some people

(07:06):
just gonna be regular. Some people just gonna follow the pack,
follow the crowd. Some people just wants to fit in.
But if you're not that person, if you want to
be extraordinary, if you want to be exceptional, if you
want to be if you want a dad to be
great at something, and you got to change your mindset.
You got to get what your creator and find out

(07:27):
what he created you for. You got to quit thinking
of things just in your own thought process. You know,
lean not to your own understanding. I don't know where
that is, but it's in there somewhere. Seeing Once you lean,
if you lean to your own understanding, you know what
it's gonna do. It's gonna limit you, man, it's gonna
limit you. Why not see what God got for you?

(07:47):
I would rather know what God got for me than
to think of all the things I could because I
can't out think him out and tried it before. All right,
it's just the beginning. We're gonna have a good one man,
let's go. You're listening east to Steve Harvey Morning Show.
