Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come come. Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody,
y'all listen to the voice.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Come on, dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey
got a radio show.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Man o man o man.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Grateful for it comes through a huge amount of responsibility.
I didn't really know I was gonna have to be
this responsible, you know, Can I share something with y'all?
I started out to Finally I had gotten on track
and was able to see a way to even pursue
my dream. It has been a long, a long trip
(00:41):
that I've been on, and I've gone through so many
phases of it. It is rewarding along the way to
accomplish your dreams. What I'm saying is this, let me,
let me put it together, because I got so much
running through my head right now. You know, it's it's
one thing to accomplish your dreams, but there's joy in
(01:01):
the process of achieving it. See, some people are so
caught up in the goal, the final goal, that they
find no joy, no enjoyment in the process. If you
have found what it is you want to do and
(01:23):
you strike out on that journey, please understand you are
far more blessed than the average person to know what
it is you really want to do, to find your
work in life, your purpose, to find out what direction
you want to go in is such a blessing. The
(01:44):
average person, if you sit down and talk to them,
oftentimes don't have their life on track. And it'd be
some people that you looking at you think, God it
going on because of their appearance, their swagger. Oh they
walk like it, they talk like it. But if you
sit down and talk to the average person, the average
(02:04):
person man does not know what their purpose is, has
not discovered what they want to do, and have no
idea how to get there. If you are on the
other side of that, if you understand your purpose, if
you have an idea of what you want to be,
and you are on.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Your way there, you are truly blessed.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
And in that blessing you must recognize it as a blessing.
You must recognize the fact that you are on the
right side and that there should be a sense of
accomplishment and a feeling of pride in you that you
are on track to accomplish your goal. See what used
(02:47):
to happen was sometimes I used to keep my nose
so on the grindstone that I.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Wouldn't even look up and realize.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Man, hey, man, I know you're trying to get here,
but Steve, hold on, Man, can't you see what you've
done so far?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Can't you find just some joy in the process.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
See, a lot of us lose the joy of a
blessings God has given us because we looking at the
end talking about I ain't there yet, you on your way.
I'm gonna give you an example. I had a friend
who told me that they wanted to be a millionaire.
And they asked me some questions and I told them,
so they started the process. And I am telling you,
(03:30):
this dude works extremely hard. So about a year later
we were talking. He had found this business, he had
set his goal, and he was working towards it. Then
about two years later I ran up into him again.
We were talking about it and everything. He said, Man,
(03:52):
really really appreciate the advice. He said, Man, but this
is all jacked up, man, because I still ain't made
that million. And I was talking about I said, well, hey, man,
just keep at it's coming. He said, Man, keep at it.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Man.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
You know how long I've been doing this been two
years now. And I didn't say that to him, but
I said to myself, yeah, two years. He said, Man,
I've been grinding so long. Man, it's just it ain't
happening for me. I said, wait a minute, man, holld on,
hold on. I said, about how much you making right
now a year? Man?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
About two hundred and fifty thousand. I quit breathing.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I said, well, my man, two years ago you didn't
have a clue. Two years later, you making a quarter
of a million dollars. I said, man, do you understand
how blessed you are? I said, ma'am your family was
about to get put out two years ago you done
(04:51):
bought a house.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah, man, but this ain't the house. I really won't. Oh,
oh Pardner, whoa I got that? I got that? How's
you won't? Mike call five eight million? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
But man, y'all got a house, you making a payment,
you drive it. You ain't out no more? I said,
old man, you got to stop. I said, you got
to stop. I said, man, because right now, man, you
you coming across. That's real ungrateful to me. And so
he said, man, why are you tripping like that?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Man?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Man, you act like don't nobody want to have nothing
but you? I said, whoa man, where are you going
with this conversation. I said, Oh, I didn't come to you.
I just came to you and asked you how you doing.
And I'm trying to point out to you that the
journey that you started on, that you are on your way,
and you are in the process of accomplishing your goals.
And can you not feel some joy and some pleasure
(05:39):
in your accomplishment. Quit tripping on the fact that you
ain't made a million yet. You on your way. You
done went from he thought this dude was making fifteen
thousand dollars a year. You making quarter of a million
dollars in two years. Man, Come on, man, can't you
see can't you see?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
So? He said?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Eventually, ah, man, I kind of see what you saying.
But that ain't about nothing to me. I ran up
into him a year and a half later. How you doing, man, man,
I sure wish I'd appreciated my life when I had.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
It like that, I said, what you mean, had it
like that? Man?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Just fell on some hard times? Man, right back where
I was. And then we talked. I said, hey, man,
don't worry about it.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I said.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Once you know how to accomplish something, I said, you
just reapply the same principles and start on over again. Man,
you know how hard it is to be to start over? Okay,
my man, hold up, pardoner, you've been do yourself like
this again. First you wasn't grateful for what you had.
Now you're looking at the fact that you might have
to start over, and you know how hard it is
to start over. Maybe God said, Okay, you ain't happy
(06:44):
with this. Okay, didn't handle it your way. You obviously
ain't happy with the way I'm bringing it into your life.
You want to handle it your way. Go ahead and
handle it because he will let you have it your way.
Can I tell you that he will let you do
it exactly the way you want to it, because he
gives us all the power. So then maybe he said, Okay,
you don't appreciate the way I'm doing it. You don't
(07:05):
like the favor I'm showing you. You think it's taken
too long. I'm gonna let you do it your way.
I'm not gonna turn my back on you. I'm just
gonna let you do it your way.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Just just say.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Maybe he said that, and now he right back where
he was. So what I tried to get the young
cat to understand was man. Appreciate your life for what
it is, because, like like Jenny's got that song that
he got out off this album, still, I still believe
it could have been worse, And now that it is worse.
What's on your mind now, folks? If you are on
(07:37):
that side of life where you have figured out what
you want to do, you know how you're gonna get that,
and you know your purpose. You accomplishing what the majority
of people never ever do. So be grateful for your process.
Don't tumble yourself, don't throw yourself off the cliff. It's
gonna be all right. Success takes a measure of time.
It is not easy. If success were easy, everybody, it
(08:00):
would be successful.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
