Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh huh, I show will a good morning everybody. You're
listening to the voice I said, come on now, I
dig me the one and only Steve Harvey got a
radio show. Okay, now I'm gonna be really honest with
you this morning. I really don't know what to say.
I really don't um. I was sitting here and I
(00:25):
was thinking, what do I say today? I do know
that I want to be encouraging, uplifting and inspirational in
some way to affect somebody today. Oftentimes, these conversations that
I have in the mornings, they're designed with me because
(00:47):
I am. I needed myself, y'all, to be honest with you.
I mean, you know who who makes the comedian laugh?
I used to say all the time, and he You
know what, what we talk about in the morning is
not a laughing matter. It kind of like is It's
who I am today. You know, I need motivation in
(01:10):
my life sometimes myself. I think when I get in
moments like this, I often resort back to the same
thing over and over and over. And when I find
myself in in certain predicaments, I can always fall back
(01:30):
on the same thing over and over. So while I'm
sitting here trying to figure out what to say to you.
The one thing that I did do this morning that
I find to be very consistent in me is that
I find myself grateful. I'm ever grateful for the things
(01:50):
that God has done for me. I may not always
know what to say, but I know how to say
thank you. I do. I know how to remember and
reflect back on where I come from. I know how
to realize where all my blessings come from. I'm very
(02:12):
very conscious of my journey that I've been on, the
the one that was from then until now. That journey
right there is it's been. It's been. It's been. Uh
it's been difficult, man, it really really has. I ain't
gonna lie to you, um me, becoming successful was very difficult.
(02:39):
But as hard as this is to say, I really
really mean this. I wouldn't change nothing about the trip
I've been on, no one because I can't change anything
about it. So I never lived my life in regret
(03:00):
at But the main thing is was I discovered along
the way now, not doing the process when you're going
through rough moments that you can't hardly see the good
in it at the time. It's just rough for you.
And it seems unexplainable, and oftentimes I thought it was unfair.
(03:20):
But as I am now, I needed every single thing
that happened to me, that happened to me to happen
to me. I hope that makes sense to you. I
needed everything to happen in the exact order and the
exact way that it happened in order for me to
(03:44):
be the person that I've become. And that right there, man,
that right there alone, it is just very comforting to me.
Mr Jake's told me one time, he said, the closer
you get to God, the more friendly you all become,
(04:06):
the more He will reveal to you or the how
it comes and the what fays of a lot of
things that has happened to you, Because a lot of
times what troubles us is we just can't understand why
we lost that love one back then. We just can't
understand why we didn't get what we wanted back then.
(04:28):
We just don't understand how come our plan didn't work
out and we had to fail so miserably back then.
We don't understand the answers to these things. Well, the
closer I've gotten to God, the more those explanations have
become crystal clear to me and see. The one thing
that I came to the realization everybody is that the
(04:49):
things that was happening to me, they wasn't really all bad.
They really wasn't that ain't they didn't taste good when
it was happening. I didn't enjoy what I was going through.
But as I look back on them and reflect, now,
it wasn't all bad. Some of those things were so
necessary for me to get their information because say, I
don't know about you, but I'm kind of hardheaded and stubborn.
(05:13):
I said, I don't know about you, but I'm kind
of hardheaded and stubborn. I kind of like to think
that I know something about some things every now and then,
and the things I am convinced about. I don't really
really care for people trying to talk me offline. So
I can be stubborn and hardheaded. Sometimes God knows that
(05:36):
about me. So I think to get some of the
messages crystal clear through to me that I needed to learn,
that was this process I had to go through. That
process was my journey, It was my trip, It was
my WOA, my pain. Say everybody got them different, It
don't matter what it is everybody got a WOA. Everybody
got a pain, everybody got a trial, everybody got some tribulations,
(05:59):
every everybody got some challenge. I don't care who you are.
Dos quick looking at me thinking that I got it
going on, so tough man. But if it's Steve, yeah,
it's easy for you to say that. But you ain't here.
You don't know. Wow, Ben, if you would stop hanging
yourself up on your past, worried about your woes and
your troubles and the situation you're in, and start praying
(06:22):
and start asking God to get you through it. See
a lot of times you messed it. You you messed
a message up yourself because when you're going through some stuff,
you ask God to remove it and take it away.
That ain't the lesson. You got to learn your lessons
sometimes it's gotta it's gotta be how to be strong,
how to see it through, how to bear under it,
(06:45):
how to carry that weight long distances for long periods
of time. That's how you get strong. The lesson is
is to make you stronger. But to make you stronger,
you got to carry the weight. You can't get stronger.
You're don'na go to gym or you don'ta do something
that or house to lift your own body weight. See
a lot a lot of people can't even do pushups down.
(07:07):
They can't get down, And in the course of the day,
give you a hundred push ups because they ain't. They ain't,
they ain't. Never try to anybody. They get to twenty
and they're shaking so bad they stopped. That's too much
for me. Well, let me tell you something. So I
learned to quit praying to take stuff away. My prayer
became to give me the strength to handle it. People
oftentimes ask me, how do you do all that you
(07:29):
do in the course of the day. I don't really know.
I just know I can because I know God don't
put more on you than you can back. So when
you ask me how you do all of what you
do in the course of the day, I got God.
All things are possible through Him. That strengthens me. He
(07:54):
strengthens me. See all them times I was working and
living in a can, struggling and be were booing and
people telling me I won't gonna mount to nothing, and
standing on that stage for hours and hours, and just
going through it and going through it and living my
life all in misery. Misery is so now. Now, when
God got what he got from me, I can stand
(08:15):
here and do it all. Yeah, I'm up early this morning. Yes,
So what what do sleep get you? Man? Sleep don't
nothing come to a peach purpose that loves sleep, But
poverty set upon you like a thief in the night. Man.
So now I ain't got no time for sleep. I
want to get up and live, live my life and
(08:36):
love my life. Man. Come on, man, God is good.
He'll get you through whatever it is you're going through.
So when you're tripping and you don't know what to say,
reflect and be grateful for all you reflect on, think
about God's goodness and watch what he do for you.
That's the cold part, okay,
Uh huh, I show will a good morning everybody. You're
