Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, uh huh 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 I
got to tell you something everybody, and this is great

(00:20):
news for everybody that I'm gonna share something with your
principal of becoming successful at whatever level you choose. It
can be successful in the relationship, successful in the family.
Successes may be considered to you becoming a homeowner. It

(00:42):
could be being debt free. Your ideal success could be
sixty thousand a year, fifty thousand a year, one hundred
thousand dollars a year. Doesn't matter if you're considering it,
if you're wanting it, if you have a desire to
become successful, I want to share with you the very

(01:02):
beginning of that. If no one's ever done it, I'm
going to say the beginning of it today. See Scripture
makes it very clear for us. You don't The only
thing you need to become successful is already inside of you.
It's not an external need. God wouldn't do that to you.

(01:27):
He puts the core basis of everything you need inside
of you. So if you discover it, if you tend
to it, nurture it, fertilize it, and water it. It grows,
it branches out. Then it reaches out externally and it
starts grabbing things outside of there to make it even bigger, stronger, better,

(01:50):
last longer. But in the very beginning, you don't need anything.
It's all within you. And if you cultivate your relationship
with God, it comes out, it flourishes. Now, let me
tell you that thing that I'm talking about is a
God given gift that He has given to all of us.

(02:11):
We all possess it. It is all within us. Everybody
has a gift. Had somebody told me what I know
now back then, I would have saved myself tons of mistakes.
I just didn't know the principles. I had to learn
them all. Well. One of the principles are becoming successful
is your mindset. You got to get your mind right now.

(02:36):
This mindset is simply a decision that you can make.
I can't get it for you. I can tell you
what to do, but you got to make the decision.
You that's listening have to decide. You know what, I'm
gonna go on and get at it. I'm gonna stop wrinting.
I'm gonna become a homeowner. You know what, I'm gonna
do it. I'm gonna stop living check to check. I'm

(02:58):
I'm gonna put a budget together. I'm gonna stop stepping
out on my family. I'm gonna go home. I'm gonna
get it together. I'm gonna stop using when you make
these decisions. That's correcting your mindset. Now, the closer connection
you have with God, the more help you get sustaining
the mindset. How many times have you started to do

(03:21):
something and you stopped? How many resolutions have you made
at the New Year and stopped by February? Over with
by me? And January done in March? Because if you
don't have a clear connection with your creator to help
you carry out, the other force out there, that evil
force is designed to get you not to reach your goals,

(03:44):
get you not to come to resolution with whatever the
resolutions are you made, so he can so you can
consider yourself not worthy or failure or unable to do something.
But the more things you are able to accomplish, the
greater your confidence goals grows. We got to get your
mindset together. Your mindset is a decision that you have

(04:04):
to make. When you make the decision, you can begin
in the process. Your mindset is also a will of yours,
a will along with the decision, a will, a willingness
to do right, a willingness to change, a willingness to
be better. Is going to then cause you to have

(04:27):
to make a decision to make a change of direction.
Don't go where everybody else going. You got to go
your way now. You can't follow the crowd. You got
to take a less travel path. You cannot do this
without changing your direction. You can't keep hanging with the
people you've been hanging with if you want to be different,
because they not. Then you have to develop an obligation

(04:51):
to yourself. You've got to say, you know what for
me and my family, or if you don't have a family,
for me, I owe it to to myself. I have
an obligation to myself to be the best meed that
I can possibly be, to be the best self that
I can possibly be, to be the best father, the

(05:11):
best man, the best husband, the best wife, the best mother,
the best daughter, the best son, the best student, the
best employee, the best owner. You have an obligation to
yourself to give yourself a shot at the best life
you can. That's an obligation. You owe that to yourself.

(05:33):
Why would you not live the best life that you
possibly could? You have an obligation to yourself. Why would
you cheat yourself like that? Why would you take yourself
and never allow yourself to see the goodness that's already
in you, to have the abundance that's been promised to you,
to go and explore all the riches out there that's

(05:56):
available to you. And but one of the worst ways
that you can rob yourself of the joy of your
obligation is to keep comparing yourself to somebody else. Because
guess what, Man, that ain't your life. You ain't jay
Z and Beyonce, You're not Oprah. Instead, Man, that's not

(06:17):
who you are. Quit looking around at everybody else. That
comparison of everybody else will keep you broken, It'll keep
you unhappy. You won't even be able to be grateful
for what you have because you steady talking about what
you don't have. That's not the way, man. You have
an obligation to yourself to be the best you you
can be, not the best them. You're not them. Stop

(06:41):
trying to be them. Be the best you. It's cool.
You got a nice little house that's cool. You know
how many big houses is empty and feel with hate
and resentment. I'd rather have a smaller house fill with
joy in it than to go to a big house. Man.
Prince got a line in the song that says, I
realized in his best disguised or pretty house don't make

(07:05):
a home. Man. Don't you know I know how true
that is? So I'm just trying to tell you now.
Another part of the mindset is taking dead aim at
your life's goals and ambitions. What are they? What are
your goals and your visions? What do you see for yourself?

(07:28):
What do you dream about? If you knew you couldn't
fail at whatever it is you were attempting, what would
you go attempt See? That's what we need to be after.
It's a mindset, y'all. It's a decision, it's a will,
it's a change of direction. It's an obligation to yourself.
It's taking dead aim at your life's visions and goals.

(07:49):
Come on, man, you got to get your mind wrapped
around this thing. You owe it to yourself to live
the best life you can be. Come on, man, talk
to God. God got something for you. You just got to.
