Speaker 1: and everybody you are listening to the voice, come on,
Speaker 1: dig me now one it only Steve harvey Man got
Speaker 1: a radio show. Real glad about it too.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 7: I hope that God always keeps me in the frame
Speaker 7: of mind to try to be sharing and try to
Speaker 7: be motivational and ubly even when it's not felt or
Speaker 7: wanted by some people.
Speaker 1: I have people around me.
Speaker 7: Who seem to not benefit at all or anything, and
Speaker 7: I can sit with them and talk to them or
Speaker 7: take meetings with them to try to encourage them, and
Speaker 7: for whatever reason, you know, they want to just keep
Speaker 7: going the way they're going. When you run into people
Speaker 7: like that, you have to pray for them. You have
Speaker 7: to just hope that one day that they release the
Speaker 7: chains on their mind and open up your mind to
Speaker 7: a new way of thinking. A couple of things I
Speaker 7: wanted to go over with. I want you to all
Speaker 7: today in terms of motivation, I want you to be
Speaker 7: aware of statements or old sayings that have been created
Speaker 7: that you hear over the course of time, and you
Speaker 7: may be applying them to your life. And I want
Speaker 7: you to be careful of some of them because some
Speaker 7: of these old sayings, man, are not designed for people
Speaker 7: who are dreamers, are not designed for people who have
Speaker 7: any aspirations of being extraordinary. These are not designs or
Speaker 7: sayings that people who want to be extremely successful at
Speaker 7: anything or have high aspirations to put these sayings into
Speaker 7: your life. Let me give you an example. Statistics say
Speaker 7: that's it.
Speaker 1: That's the one. I want you to be careful about.
Speaker 1: Statistics say, be very careful of stats.
Speaker 7: When a person says, you know, statistics say one out
Speaker 7: of every what see, listen to me. These are things
Speaker 7: that sound like they're good, sound solid advice, but they're
Speaker 7: setting you up for failure.
Speaker 1: And you can't adhere.
Speaker 7: Yourself to a lot of these sayings that's been passed
Speaker 7: down from generations. And it's not scripture. It ain't in
Speaker 7: a scripture nowhere that statistics say.
Speaker 1: It's just some.
Speaker 7: People, and a lot of people who have lost have
Speaker 7: come up with these sayings to justify why they keep
Speaker 7: losing or why they lost. When I was earth got
Speaker 7: started in the business, there were more stand ups around
Speaker 7: now than it is today because the comedy boom in
Speaker 7: eighty four eighty five was it was gaining a lot
Speaker 7: of momentums comedy club's comedy nights everywhere. The statistic that
Speaker 7: a guy told me, I told him I wanted to
Speaker 7: be on the Johnny Carson Show, the Tonight Show. The
Speaker 7: guy said, one out of every two thousand comedians ever
Speaker 7: make it to the Tonight Show. Okay, Now, when he
Speaker 7: told us that, some of the comedians in the room went, well, wow, man,
Speaker 7: that's rough. Because a guy had also said that there
Speaker 7: was approximately six thousand comedians in the country at that time.
Speaker 7: I don't know if it was true. I'm just telling
Speaker 7: you a guy was out there fewer numbers. I have
Speaker 7: no idea how many it was, but he said one
Speaker 7: in every two thousand will make it to the Tonight Show.
Speaker 7: And he let the air out of everybody.
Speaker 1: In the room but me.
Speaker 7: So every night before I went on stage, I used
Speaker 7: to do this right here, Bye bad that was the
Speaker 7: tonight theme song. I was young opening act nowhere near Hollywood, didn't.
Speaker 7: I was in Cleveland telling jokes at one night. But
Speaker 7: that was my thing because I was bent and determined
Speaker 7: that if it's one in two thousand, okay, why don't
Speaker 7: I just be the one? Be careful when people say
Speaker 7: statistics say because they are set up to fulfailure if
Speaker 7: you're gonna adhere to them. See that won in so
Speaker 7: many it wanted. So many people win the lottery. But
Speaker 7: if you don't play the lottery, you ain't gonna.
Speaker 1: Be the one to hit.
Speaker 7: Not when the dude hits you go while he was lucky,
Speaker 7: but he played. Here's another one. Maybe it's not meant
Speaker 7: to be. Let's go one step further. I guess it
Speaker 7: wasn't the Lord's will. Don't you dare blame God for
Speaker 7: something you may have not done yourself because you didn't
Speaker 7: get the proper education, because you didn't do the things
Speaker 7: you were supposed to do, because you didn't stay to
Speaker 7: the task, because you quit turned around.
Speaker 1: And with the other way. Now, maybe it's not it
Speaker 1: wasn't the Lord's will.
Speaker 7: These are all statements that sound like sound advice, but
Speaker 7: they ain't all the time got nothing to do with you.
Speaker 7: Stop letting these old fogy sayings get in your way
Speaker 7: of what can happen in your life.
Speaker 1: Don't put all your eggs in one basket? Who came
Speaker 1: up with this? Who came up with it?
Speaker 7: If you don't pour all your efforts into one thing,
Speaker 7: how are you gonna be great at that one thing?
Speaker 7: If Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird had
Speaker 7: not played basketball sun up to sundown. Magic Johnson didn't
Speaker 7: go to Michigan to get an educate. Larry Berry ain't
Speaker 7: go to Indiana to get an education. These cats was balling.
Speaker 7: Michael Jordan didn't go to North Carolina get an education.
Speaker 7: They went to play ball. They went to do one thing.
Speaker 7: Tiger Woods didn't go to Stamford to get an education.
Speaker 7: He went to play golf. Soon as he got good enough,
Speaker 7: he gone. These are guys that put all they eggs
Speaker 7: in one basket. See what's cool with putting all your
Speaker 7: eggs in one basket is you now can maximize your
Speaker 7: effort and laser beam what you're doing.
Speaker 1: Your problem is all you gotta do.
Speaker 7: Is make sure what is your basket made out of
Speaker 7: If your basket is made out of faith, hope, hard work,
Speaker 7: and belief, then guess what, that's a good basket. I'm
Speaker 7: dumping all mine in it, because ever since I was
Speaker 7: a young dude, I've been telling jokes one thing, one
Speaker 7: thing only.
Speaker 1: Even when it got ugly and I was living in
Speaker 1: a car, I never quit telling them jokes. Man.
Speaker 7: I just kept believing that them jokes was gonna pay
Speaker 7: me one day, and I'd be dog gone if it didn't.
Speaker 1: I ain't take no time off. Go work at the Walmart,
Speaker 1: get me a job, go back to Ford and big
Speaker 1: for my job back. Hey, man, put all your eggs
Speaker 1: in a basket.
Speaker 7: Just make sure that your basket is made up of faith, hope, belief,
Speaker 7: hard work.
Speaker 1: Your basket woven by God. What you tripping for?
Speaker 7: You're defeating yourself. Where is your faith? Where is your belief?
Speaker 7: Where is your trust? At one point in time, you
Speaker 7: got to bleed that God could do what he said
Speaker 7: gonna do because he'd never done it for others, He'll
Speaker 7: most certainly do it for you. Be careful of these
Speaker 7: sayings that's out here, that's aligned by losers and people
Speaker 7: to justify why they are not succeeded. Don't apply this
Speaker 7: stuff to your life, and it ain't got nothing to
Speaker 7: do with you. You're gonna mess yourself up.
Speaker 1: All right. Okay, you're listening hard morning show, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: boys and girls, anybody else that's listening this show right here.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. It's just really

Speaker 8: You know, we're coming to the closing in the year.
Speaker 1: You know what is it?
Speaker 10: We getting over to twenty twenty four, and I'm trying
Speaker 10: to figure out, like, when do we start putting the
Speaker 10: plan together for twenty twenty four? Do we start in
Speaker 10: twenty twenty four? Do we start now?
Speaker 11: Or how do we start.
Speaker 8: Setting these goals together for twenty twenty four?
Speaker 7: As soon as I think of something that needs to
Speaker 7: be accomplished or something I want to have on my
Speaker 7: wish liss, I start to process immediately. I don't wait
Speaker 7: for resolutions or New years, and I start now. I've
Speaker 7: learned that delaying does exactly that. Why would you delay
Speaker 7: something that you want to happen? You start, and once
Speaker 7: you start practicing the practice of procrastination, it takes root
Speaker 7: really fast, and next thing you know, you're looking for
Speaker 7: special days to do this, special moments to do that.
Speaker 7: And then you'll find out in life that there is
Speaker 7: no correct time to start except now. And it ain't
Speaker 7: no need of waiting on your ducks to line up,
Speaker 7: because they ask will not line up them damn ducks walks.
Speaker 1: Off in all kinds of directions.
Speaker 7: These are not the ducks down at Peabody in Memphis.
Speaker 7: I'm telling you. They don't get in that line. They
Speaker 7: don't come off that elevator and walk straight and get
Speaker 7: in that damn water. These damn ducks in life, they
Speaker 7: fly off, they go the other way. They go over
Speaker 7: there and get in somebody. Get in white people cars.
Speaker 7: You can go, hey, show ask do it. Get out
Speaker 7: to the white people's car. So if you wait on
Speaker 7: your ducks to line up, man, stop doing that.
Speaker 1: Go now. I don't wait for resolutions.
Speaker 7: I've started everything that I want to that I'm hoping
Speaker 7: for in twenty twenty four. I've already started fertilizing the seeds.
Speaker 7: Yeah great, and yeah, that's how I do it, Junior.
Speaker 7: I don't wait on resolutions. This is fun to do
Speaker 7: them because I don't know. Yeah, sound good. But if
Speaker 7: you're gonna lose weight, see right now, like the big
Speaker 7: one in twenty twenty four, gonna be to lose weight,

Speaker 12: Nephew's subject behind the Christmas Tree. Dear Stephen Shirley, I've
Speaker 12: been married for fourteen years and I have a busy
Speaker 12: schedule as a high school basketball coach. After years of marriage,
Speaker 12: my wife still doesn't get how stressed I am around
Speaker 12: this time of year, and she'd been pressuring me to
Speaker 12: buy a Christmas tree and have it up by December first.
Speaker 12: I missed her deadline because of my schedule. This past Saturday,
Speaker 12: I left for practice and she said she picked out
Speaker 12: a tree online and it was going to be delivered
Speaker 12: later that day. I knew it didn't sound right, but
Speaker 12: I didn't really care at that point. Around noon, one
Speaker 12: of my players got sick, so I canceled the practice.
Speaker 12: I intended to go home and help out with a
Speaker 12: Christmas tree. I drove up and my daughter was outside
Speaker 12: shooting hoops with her friends. She said her mom and
Speaker 12: mister Tim were inside putting up the tree. The only
Speaker 12: Tim I know is my wife's ex boyfriend that drives
Speaker 12: the truck like the one in front of my house.
Speaker 12: I walked in and my wife was disheveled and acting jumpy.
Speaker 12: I hugged her and I could smell cologne all over
Speaker 12: her neck. I pulled her with me as we went
Speaker 12: to look at the tree, and I asked where Tim was.
Speaker 12: She said Tim was behind the tree, securing it to
Speaker 12: the base. I walked over to Tim. I tapped his
Speaker 12: foot and I told him to come out and leave
Speaker 12: my house. Tim said he was just helping out since
Speaker 12: I was too busy to do what needed to be done.
Speaker 12: I was ready to fight, but my wife grabbed me
Speaker 12: as Tim walked out. She said it's my fault and
Speaker 12: I shouldn't be upset. I told her she's foul for
Speaker 12: having her ex in our house. She doesn't see the
Speaker 12: situation from my point of view. So I'd love to
Speaker 12: invite my girlfriend over and ask her to bring me
Speaker 12: one of her amazing chocolate cakes. I wonder if my
Speaker 12: wife will get it. Then I'm very vindictive.
Speaker 5: Should I do it or not?
Speaker 12: Well, while you know, we all know that two wrongs
Speaker 12: don't make a right, we know that, but this does
Speaker 12: sound like a case of I can show you better
Speaker 12: than I can tell you. And since your wife seems
Speaker 12: to have no remorse about anything that happened, having this
Speaker 12: other man over there and all that, you know, I
Speaker 12: wouldn't be mad if you did invite your ex and
Speaker 12: her amazing chocolate cake, although I'm sure she wouldn't get
Speaker 12: past the front door.
Speaker 5: But you know, WiFi was just way out of line here,
Speaker 5: and her.
Speaker 12: Ex Tim was ohso disrespectful when he said he was
Speaker 12: just helping out because you were too busy.
Speaker 5: To do what needed to be done. How could he
Speaker 5: fix his mouth to even say that in your house?
Speaker 12: So, you know, let's see how your wife would like
Speaker 12: it if the situation were reversed.
Speaker 5: And we all know she wouldn't. She wouldn't like it
Speaker 5: one bit.
Speaker 12: But we don't like her attitude. We don't like the
Speaker 12: fact that you know she thinks this is okay. She's disloyal,
Speaker 12: she's unsupportive of you and what you have to do
Speaker 12: as far as your coaching job and all of that,
Speaker 12: and bring her x in to try to take your
Speaker 12: place in your house. It's just these things are unthinkable
Speaker 12: for a wife to do to her husband. So yeah,
Speaker 12: in this case, I wouldn't be mad you said should
Speaker 12: you do it or not. I wouldn't be mad if
Speaker 12: you invited her and got some cake and all of that.
Speaker 5: See how your wife liked it, Steve.
Speaker 1: Just let us stupid, crazy childish been married fourteen years,
Speaker 1: your high school basketball coach. This is why I lost
Speaker 1: it in the letter. After years of marriage, my wife
Speaker 1: still doesn't know how stressed I am around this time
Speaker 1: of year, and she's been pressuring me to buy a
Speaker 1: Christmas tree and have it up by December first. Now
Speaker 1: I'm going to assume.
Speaker 7: That you mean you're under pressure this time of the
Speaker 7: year because of your basketball schedule and maybe playoffs or
Speaker 7: something like that. Maybe that's what you're talking about, because
Speaker 7: at first I thought about it was stressed out about
Speaker 7: buying Christmas trees and gifts.
Speaker 1: I was a little confused about that. But either way,
Speaker 1: it don't cast for that much pressure.
Speaker 7: I mean, if you a basketball coach, I understand it's
Speaker 7: a little.
Speaker 1: Tight for you this year. I do understand that, bruh.
Speaker 1: So I ain't knocking that right there. But she wanted
Speaker 1: Christmas tree, have it up by December first. The mandate
Speaker 1: in our house is the day after Thanksgiving the Christmas
Speaker 1: decorations begin. That's a mandate at our house. Don't let
Speaker 1: December get here and I don't have my tree gonna
Speaker 1: be a problem at the house. Okay, I just want
Speaker 1: to throw that in right here. This past Saturday, you
Speaker 1: went to practice, she said, she picked up a tree
Speaker 1: and had it online, was gonna be delivered later that day.
Speaker 1: I knew it didn't sound right. I don't know why
Speaker 1: it didn't, but you said it didn't sound right, but
Speaker 1: I really didn't care at this pump. So at noon,
Speaker 1: one of your players got sick, so you canceled the practice.
Speaker 7: I intended to go home and help out with the
Speaker 7: Christmas tree. I drove up and my daughter was outside
Speaker 7: shooting hoops with her friends.
Speaker 1: She said.
Speaker 7: Her mom and mister Tim was inside putting up the tree. Now,
Speaker 7: right here, let me show you where this letter has
Speaker 7: to turn for me.
Speaker 1: The only tim I know is my wife's ex boyfriend
Speaker 1: that drives a truck like the one in front of
Speaker 1: my house. Now right there, I'm no longer walking into
Speaker 1: the house. I'm rolling up into the house at top speed.
Speaker 1: I ain't on the door.
Speaker 7: I'm kicking the door in h That's where we're at
Speaker 7: right now. I walk in and my wife was disheveled
Speaker 7: and jumping. I hugged her and I could smell cologne
Speaker 7: all over her neck. Let me stop this letter right here,
Speaker 7: because what's happening at this point in the letter, there's
Speaker 7: no more typing.
Speaker 14: At this point, you're done with all of that.
Speaker 7: We're now in the process of a crime being committed.
Speaker 7: When we come back, I'll share.
Speaker 1: With you the crime and the amount of time that
Speaker 1: I'm receiving in front of the jail. Thanks.
Speaker 16: All right, you heard it from Steve's own mouth.
Speaker 12: We'll have part two of his response coming up in
Speaker 12: twenty three minutes after the hour Today's Strawberry letter subject behind.
Speaker 5: The Christmas Tree. We'll get back into it right after this.
Speaker 5: You're listening Hardy Morning Show.
Speaker 12: All right, Come on, Steve, let's recap Today's Strawberry Letter
Speaker 12: subject behind the Christmas tree.
Speaker 7: This's this man, a basketball coach fourteen years, been married
Speaker 7: fourteen years.
Speaker 1: He disheveled this.
Speaker 7: He's a little under pressure this year because of the
Speaker 7: playoffs in basketball, and his wife won't say, I have
Speaker 7: a Christmas tree up by December first. He's under too
Speaker 7: much pressure to worry about a tree. But so she
Speaker 7: orders one online, said that to be here by noon
Speaker 7: and deliver it. He said, okay, He going to go
Speaker 7: to practice.
Speaker 1: Go to practice, find out one of the players is sick,
Speaker 1: so he counsels practice.
Speaker 7: Obviously this is a star player. There ain't no need
Speaker 7: of run in this office because you got the whole
Speaker 7: office running through this boy. Because you got Michael Jordan
Speaker 7: on your team. You don't give damn about these other
Speaker 7: folk kids. If he's sick, you ain't got a chance
Speaker 7: winning this damn game, no way. So let's just cancel practice.
Speaker 7: So you go on home and decide that you're gonna
Speaker 7: help put up the Christmas tree.
Speaker 1: You pull up in your.
Speaker 7: Daughter outside shooting hoop with a girlfriend and said where
Speaker 7: your mom at? Your mom in the house with mister
Speaker 7: Tiam putting up the tree. Then you say, the only
Speaker 7: team you know is your wife's ex boyfriend who drives
Speaker 7: a truck just like the one in front of your house.
Speaker 7: Something's about to happen. I'm not walking in the house,
Speaker 7: I'm running. I'm not open doors, I'm kicking them in.
Speaker 7: But he strolls on up in there. I walked in
Speaker 7: and my wife was disheveled and acting jumping. So I
Speaker 7: hugged her and I could smell cologne all over her neck.
Speaker 7: I pulled her with me as we went to look
Speaker 7: at the tree, and I asked her where Tim was.
Speaker 7: She said Tim was behind the tree. Now, let me
Speaker 7: tell you something. This is the exact place that the
Speaker 7: police would have found.
Speaker 1: Tim if we was at my house, behind the tree.
Speaker 1: Behind the tree. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense because that's where.
Speaker 7: The busted Tim's head open. Yeah, and Tim would have
Speaker 7: been behind that same damn tree. So she said he
Speaker 7: was behind the tree, securing it to the base. I
Speaker 7: walked over to t and tapped his foot. See that
Speaker 7: right there, that's not happening. I'd have stoked his foot,
Speaker 7: broke his ankle, so when we start fighting, he'll be
Speaker 7: on one leg. That's That's how I'd have started get
Speaker 7: the advance. We're gonna fight. Huh, you want to get
Speaker 7: licked the advantage? Yeah, So I tapped his foot told
Speaker 7: him to come out and leave my house. Tim said,
Speaker 7: this is what Tim said. He was just helping out
Speaker 7: since I was too busy to do what needed to
Speaker 7: be done. Now, how does Tim know this yeah, about
Speaker 7: my house because she's been sharing y'all's marital business with Tim.
Speaker 7: How does Tim feel comfortable enough to come over your
Speaker 7: house to put up a tree? Why is Tim talking
Speaker 7: back to me after I'd just tapped him on his foot?
Speaker 1: Then you said.
Speaker 7: I was ready to fight, but my wife grabbed me
Speaker 7: as Tim walked out. Another question, How it's Tim walking
Speaker 7: out of this house? Now, Tim is going to leave
Speaker 7: this house, but walking will not be how he leaves.
Speaker 7: I have some options, and it's only two.
Speaker 1: You'll be leaving this house on guarney, or you'll be
Speaker 1: leaving this house in the body bag. But either way,
Speaker 1: you can't walk on the gurney and you can't walk
Speaker 1: once they zip up the body bag. That's not Tim.
Speaker 7: So I don't know how Tim punk asked and walked
Speaker 7: out the house, and my wife ain't strong enough to
Speaker 7: grab me and keep me, Mardreie can't keep me from
Speaker 7: kicking a man ass if that's what I'm finn do.
Speaker 7: My wife not that strong. My wife has seen me
Speaker 7: mad one time since we've been mad, I mean really
Speaker 7: really mad, she said, Steve, I don't know what happened.
Speaker 7: You just you swoll up, you swoll up. I had
Speaker 7: I had to get all the workers out this house. Okay, cool,
Speaker 7: but now you understand, well I'm capable of. So now
Speaker 7: why Tim is walking out of this house or no?
Speaker 7: And she said it's your fault and you shouldn't be upset.
Speaker 7: I told her she's filed for having her ex in
Speaker 7: her in our house. I don't even how y'all having
Speaker 7: this conversation. She doesn't see the situation. From my point
Speaker 7: of view, I'd have gave her another view of Tim.
Speaker 1: Anyway. You to find out that Tim can't fight, you
Speaker 1: to find out Tim ain't all that you to find
Speaker 1: out Tim little punk. You to find out a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff about Tim that day, So you hang your
Speaker 1: hat on your little ex. You to find out why
Speaker 1: he your ex see that day?
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 7: So she doesn't see the situation at this point of view.
Speaker 7: So I love to invite my ex girlfriend over and
Speaker 7: ask her to bring one of her amazing chocolate cakes.
Speaker 7: I wonder if my wife would get a thing. I'm
Speaker 7: very vindictive, should I do it now? Women ain't as
Speaker 7: stupid as men, dog, So I'm pretty sure this woman
Speaker 7: is gonna have a lot of questions when you ask
Speaker 7: her to brain one of these delicious chocolate cakes over
Speaker 7: your house. Why don't your funker ask wife make you
Speaker 7: a chocolate cake since that's who you married, and you
Speaker 7: didn't marry me, So I wouldn't call your ex girlfriend
Speaker 7: talking about no damn cake because you fin to get
Speaker 7: way mode and cake.
Speaker 1: Due. I think y'all to invite this girl over now.
Speaker 7: But I do think you need to rerun this letter
Speaker 7: and start this letter back over to where you tapped
Speaker 7: him on his foot, and he came from behind that tree,
Speaker 7: and this whole letter need to be written. That chalk
Speaker 7: mark is behind the tree, yellow tape is around the tree,
Speaker 7: and the corner's office has some detectives is outside. I'm
Speaker 7: downtown behind her for which piece of glass telling y'all
Speaker 7: this strawberry left.

Speaker 1: Steve, all right it is for today. This is a
Speaker 1: really uplifting one.
Speaker 7: I just want to talk to you for a minute
Speaker 7: about dreams, because everybody has them. But dreams are so
Speaker 7: so important man, because there's a scripture that says something
Speaker 7: to the effect that a man without a dream or
Speaker 7: a vision shall perish.
Speaker 1: A man without a dream or a vision shall perish.
Speaker 7: So I mean, just everybody has to dream, and everybody
Speaker 7: has to envision something.
Speaker 1: It is the thing that pushes us forward.
Speaker 7: It's one of the most important motivating factors in your
Speaker 7: life today.
Speaker 1: The hope that things will change from you, change for you,
Speaker 1: from what they are. Now, that's what it is.
Speaker 7: You dream of one day owning a business. You dream
Speaker 7: of one day of climbing the corporate letter you you
Speaker 7: dream of one day becoming an attorney. You dream of
Speaker 7: one day of being a supervisor. You dream of one
Speaker 7: day driving a certain car. You dream of one day
Speaker 7: owning the house of your dreams. You dream about traveling
Speaker 7: around the world. You dream about the man or the
Speaker 7: woman of your dreams. You dream about the family you've
Speaker 7: always wanted. You dream about being happy, You dream about
Speaker 7: being successful. You envision yourself with a lifestyle that you've
Speaker 7: always wondered about and seen other people living. You envision
Speaker 7: yourself somewhere else other than where you are. Everybody feels
Speaker 7: those things, man, But let me explain something to you.
Speaker 7: As motivating as that is, as motivating as dreams and
Speaker 7: visions are. Dreams don't work unless you do. Get me now,
Speaker 7: Dreams don't work unless you do. I was reading a
Speaker 7: book by Michael Strahan. Michael Strahan's got a book out
Speaker 7: call or Wake Up Happy, And one of the subtitles
Speaker 7: on one of his chapters is that too, that dreams
Speaker 7: don't work unless you do.
Speaker 1: I am telling you, man, that that is such a
Speaker 1: true statement. Nothing comes to a dreamer but a dream
Speaker 1: unless you work. Dreams don't work unless you do. Nothing
Speaker 1: comes to a dreamer but a dream unless you work. Man,
Speaker 1: You've got to put forth a serious effort to make
Speaker 1: your dreams come true or the things you envision come
Speaker 1: to fruition. You've got to put forth a massive all
Speaker 1: out of salt on it. And why not, what else
Speaker 1: you got to do?
Speaker 7: I'd brother be working on my dreams and visions than
Speaker 7: to be sitting there watching.
Speaker 1: My life go by, day after day after day after
Speaker 1: day and doing nothing about it. Even an inmate that's incarcerated.
Speaker 7: Can get in a program to take his mind outside
Speaker 7: the walls to further it better himself. So in the
Speaker 7: event that he does get out, he least comes out
Speaker 7: with something that they can't take from him.
Speaker 1: Which is knowledge.
Speaker 7: How is it that those of us that are free
Speaker 7: don't have enough sense to try to do something to
Speaker 7: better ourselves, our position, or our plight in life. Oh man,
Speaker 7: you've got to be kidding me. All you got to
Speaker 7: do is dream. But dreams don't work unless you do.
Speaker 1: Now. Look, it's not easy to make your dreams come true.
Speaker 1: It's really not. I'll tell you that. But I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what's that's not easy to do. But I tell
Speaker 1: you what's harder than do that, be nothing? Because I
Speaker 1: have been both.
Speaker 7: I have worked so hard to make my dream come true,
Speaker 7: and I've set around being nothing.
Speaker 1: And I got news for you.
Speaker 7: Sitting around being nothing is hard, man, It's so restrictive.
Speaker 1: Even if you think of something, you can't do that.
Speaker 7: You can't go to store and get an ice cream
Speaker 7: because you done set around and decided to be nothing.
Speaker 1: And how do you become nothing by doing nothing? It's
Speaker 1: hard being nothing.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: Now let me tell you something. On your way to
Speaker 1: your dreams, you're gonna hurt. You're gonna hurt along the way.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have some regrets. Man, I should have stayed
Speaker 1: on my job. I set up here and jumped trying
Speaker 1: to start this business. I had a job to kept
Speaker 1: a steady income coming in. You may have some regrets
Speaker 1: one day, you may even consider in quitting one day.
Speaker 1: But don't you do it, because the moment you stop
Speaker 1: working on your dreams, your dreams stopped becoming true. Dreams
Speaker 1: don't work unless you do. If you work as hard
Speaker 1: on your dreams as you do on your job, can
Speaker 1: do you imagine what you have? Can you possibly imagine
Speaker 1: what you be? That's what I always say to myself.
Speaker 1: Why am I working this hard for somebody else when
Speaker 1: I can work this hall for me? Now, I'm not
Speaker 1: knocking a job. That's not what I'm saying. Because sometimes
Speaker 1: you got your dream job. Sometimes you got the job
Speaker 1: of your dreams. I applaud you. I'm just talking about
Speaker 1: your dreams, though. If you dream of something other and
Speaker 1: more than that, when you gonna go Now, if you
Speaker 1: got your dream job, clap clap, and now millions of
Speaker 1: people who are working their dream job, or they working
Speaker 1: a job that can get them to they dream.
Speaker 7: So this is not an anti working statement. This is
Speaker 7: just about what it takes to make your dreams come true.
Speaker 7: A man without a dream or vision show parish. I
Speaker 7: have one simple philosophy in my life, Steve. Why you
Speaker 7: work so hard while you got so many shows? While
Speaker 7: you're always doing this? My philosophy is very simple. I
Speaker 7: spend all my time building my dream so when I
Speaker 7: get some time, I can.
Speaker 1: Live my dream.
Speaker 7: I've always dreamed of traveling around the world, going to places.
Speaker 7: I've always dreamed of being relevant to somebody. I've always
Speaker 7: dreamed of being important to my children. That's why I
Speaker 7: work so hard. Those are my dreams and visions. What
Speaker 7: are yours? Dust them off, and remember, dreams don't work
Speaker 7: unless you do you dig. That's my clothes remarks for today,
Speaker 7: Ladies and gentlemen, talk to God today. He'd loved to
