Speaker 1: Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all
Speaker 1: don't know. Y'all have a sun giving them like the
Speaker 1: million bucks things, and its good listening together for st Please,
Speaker 1: I don't join jo. You got turn hur you go,
Speaker 1: you gotta turn to turn them out. You got to
Speaker 1: turn them out to turn the water the water got
Speaker 1: me Come come on your tha uh huh, I sure will.
Speaker 1: Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, But come
Speaker 1: on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got
Speaker 1: a radio show. Well, I gotta tell you something, everybody,
Speaker 1: and this is great news for everybody that I'm share
Speaker 1: something with your principle of becoming successful at whatever level
Speaker 1: you choose. It can be successful in the relationship, successful
Speaker 1: in the family. Successes may be considered to you becoming
Speaker 1: a homeowner. It could be being dead free. Your ideal
Speaker 1: success could be sixty thousand a year, fifty thousand a year,
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars a year. Doesn't matter if you're
Speaker 1: considering it, if you're wanting it, if you have a
Speaker 1: desire to become successful. I want to share with you
Speaker 1: the very beginning of that. If no one's ever done it,
Speaker 1: I'm going to say the beginning of it today see
Speaker 1: scripture makes it very clear for us you don't The
Speaker 1: only thing you need to become successful is already inside
Speaker 1: of you. It's not an external need. God wouldn't do
Speaker 1: that to you. He puts the core basis of everything
Speaker 1: you need inside of you. So if you discover it,
Speaker 1: if you tend to it, nurture it, fertilize it, and
Speaker 1: water it, it grows, it branches out. Then it reaches
Speaker 1: out externally and it starts grabbing things outside of there
Speaker 1: to make it even bigger, stronger, better, last longer. But
Speaker 1: in the very beginning, you don't need anything. It's all
Speaker 1: within you. And if you cultivate your relationship with God,
Speaker 1: it comes out, it flourishes. Now, let me tell you
Speaker 1: that thing that I'm talking about is a God given
Speaker 1: gift that He has given to all of us. We
Speaker 1: all possess it. It is all within us, and everybody
Speaker 1: has a gift. Had somebody told me what I know
Speaker 1: now back then, I would have saved myself tons of mistakes.
Speaker 1: I just didn't know the principles. I had to learn
Speaker 1: them all well. One of the principles of becoming successful
Speaker 1: is your mind set You got to get your mind
Speaker 1: right now. This mindset is simply a decision that you
Speaker 1: can make. I can't get it for you. I can
Speaker 1: tell you what to do, but you got to make
Speaker 1: the decision. You just listening have to decide. You know what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on and get at it. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: stop renting. I'm gonna become a homeowner. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. I'm gonna stop living check to check.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna put a budget together. I'm gonna stop
Speaker 1: stepping out on my family. I'm gonna go home. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get it together. I'm gonna stop using you when
Speaker 1: you make these decisions. That's correcting your mindset. Now. The
Speaker 1: closer connection you have with God, the more help you
Speaker 1: get sustaining the mindset. How many times have you started
Speaker 1: to do something and you stopped? How many resolutions have
Speaker 1: you made at the New Year and stop by February?
Speaker 1: Over by me at January? Done in March? Because if
Speaker 1: you don't have a clear connection with your creator to
Speaker 1: help you carry out the other force out there, that
Speaker 1: evil force is designed to get you not to reach
Speaker 1: your goals, get you not to come to resolution, with
Speaker 1: whatever the resolutions are you made so he can So
Speaker 1: you can consider yourself not worthy or failure or unable
Speaker 1: to do something. But the more things you are able
Speaker 1: to accomplish, the greater your confidence goals grows. So we
Speaker 1: got to get your mind set together. Your mindset is
Speaker 1: a decision that you have to make. When you make
Speaker 1: the decision, you can begin the process. Your mindset is
Speaker 1: also a will of yours, a will along with the decision,
Speaker 1: a will, a willingness to do right, a willingness to change,
Speaker 1: a willingness to be better. It's going to then cause
Speaker 1: you to have to make a decision to make a
Speaker 1: change of direction. Don't go where everybody else going. You
Speaker 1: got to go your way now. You can't follow the crowd.
Speaker 1: You got to take a less travel path. You cannot
Speaker 1: do this without changing your direction. You can't keep hanging
Speaker 1: with the people you've been hanging with if you want
Speaker 1: to be different because they're not. Then you have to
Speaker 1: develop an obligation to yourself. You've got to say, you
Speaker 1: know what for me and my family. If you don't
Speaker 1: have a family for me, I owe it to myself.
Speaker 1: I have an obligation to myself to be the best
Speaker 1: meat that can possibly be, to be the best self
Speaker 1: that I can possibly be, To be the best father,
Speaker 1: the best man, the best husband, the best wife, the
Speaker 1: best mother, the best daughter, the best son, the best student,
Speaker 1: the best employe, the best owner. You have an obligation
Speaker 1: to yourself to give yourself a shot at the best
Speaker 1: life you can. That's an obligation. You owe that to yourself.
Speaker 1: Why would you not live the best life that you
Speaker 1: possibly could. You have an obligation to yourself. Why would
Speaker 1: you teat yourself like that? Why would you take yourself
Speaker 1: and never allow yourself to see the goodness that's already
Speaker 1: in you, to have the abundance that's been promised to you,
Speaker 1: to go and explore all the riches out there that's
Speaker 1: available to you. And but one of the worst ways
Speaker 1: that you can rob yourself of the joy of your
Speaker 1: obligation is to keep comparing yourself to somebody else. Because
Speaker 1: guess what, Man, that ain't your life. You ain't jay
Speaker 1: Z and Beyonce, you're not You're not Oper Instead, man,
Speaker 1: that's not who you are. Quit looking around at everybody else.
Speaker 1: That comparison of everybody else to keep you broken, It'll
Speaker 1: keep you unhappy. You won't even be able to be
Speaker 1: grateful for what you have because you steady talking about
Speaker 1: what you don't have. That's not the way, man. You
Speaker 1: have an obligation to yourself to be the best you
Speaker 1: you can be, not the best them. You're not them.
Speaker 1: Stop trying to be them. Be the best you. It's cool.
Speaker 1: You got a nice little house. That's cool. You know
Speaker 1: how many big houses is empty and feel with hate
Speaker 1: and resentment. I'd rather have a smaller house feel with
Speaker 1: joy in it than to go to a big man.
Speaker 1: Prince got a line in a song that says, I
Speaker 1: realized in its best disguise, or pretty house don't make
Speaker 1: a home man. Don't you know I know how true
Speaker 1: that is? So I'm just trying to tell you now.
Speaker 1: Another part of the mindset is taking dead aim at
Speaker 1: your life's goals and ambitions. What are they? What are
Speaker 1: your goals and your visions? What do you see for yourself?
Speaker 1: What do you dream about? If you knew you couldn't
Speaker 1: fail at whatever it is you were attempting, what would
Speaker 1: you go attempting? See? That's what we need to be after.
Speaker 1: It's a mindset, y'all. It's a decision it's a will,
Speaker 1: it's a change of direction. It's an obligation to yourself.
Speaker 1: It's taking dead aim at your life's visions and goals.
Speaker 1: Come on, man, you got to get your mind wrapped
Speaker 1: around this thing. You owe it to yourself to live
Speaker 1: the best life you can be. Come on, man, talk
Speaker 1: to God. God got something for you. You just gotta

Speaker 1: But he loves you, all right? Yeah, I love you.
Speaker 1: The deaf boy ain't gonna let nothing happen to you.
Speaker 1: Do not particularly care for you. All right, here we go,
Speaker 1: just Steven Shirley, It's yes, it is. I grew up
Speaker 1: in a two parent home, and both of my parents
Speaker 1: earned college degrees and worked hard to provide a good
Speaker 1: life from me and my siblings. And I have a
Speaker 1: college degree as well. And I've been married for over
Speaker 1: twenty years to a great woman, and we have two teenagers.
Speaker 1: My teenagers are well mannered and really smart kids. So
Speaker 1: here's my problem. I met my wife in college and
Speaker 1: fell in love with her, but I cannot stand her family.
Speaker 1: They are, for lack of a better term, ghetto. I
Speaker 1: must admit that as my kids grew up. I limited
Speaker 1: their access to my wife's side of the family, but
Speaker 1: I had to be careful so I wouldn't offend my wife.
Speaker 1: These people are hood and they have a cookout for
Speaker 1: every occasion. They all live on the same street in
Speaker 1: five or six mobile homes, so they always are down
Speaker 1: to party, play cards, drink, get all loud, and act
Speaker 1: a fool. These kids are always part of their kids
Speaker 1: are always part of the festivities, and when my children
Speaker 1: were younger, my wife wanted our children and to get
Speaker 1: to know their cousins. That didn't last long because the
Speaker 1: hood cousins started teasing my children about the way they
Speaker 1: speak and how they carried themselves. One of my sons
Speaker 1: will be graduating from high school soon and my wife
Speaker 1: has a party plan for him. She wants to invite
Speaker 1: her entire family to the party that's in our community
Speaker 1: center in our neighborhood. I have politely reminded her how
Speaker 1: much of a fiasco it might be, but she is
Speaker 1: dead set on having her family included. I can already
Speaker 1: imagine a dice game jumping off by the pool if
Speaker 1: her uncle comes. I don't want to be disrespectful, but
Speaker 1: I need to put my foot down and set some
Speaker 1: ground rules. Stephen Shirley, how can I make this party work? Wow? Well? First, first, first,
Speaker 1: no alcohol. I have to say that, no alcohol, because
Speaker 1: that's when the stuff jumps off. No alcohol, okay, none,
Speaker 1: don't have any. They're gonna be mad. But you can't
Speaker 1: have any alcohol because they get that in them and
Speaker 1: it's just no telling. You might want to have some
Speaker 1: security around, some playing close security, you know, let them
Speaker 1: mingle through the crowd and everything, because you know that's
Speaker 1: in case something does go down. You know. In the meantime, though,
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you this. I gotta tell you this.
Speaker 1: She gave us a lot of information in your letter.
Speaker 1: You know about you graduating from college. You and your
Speaker 1: wife have been together for twenty years. She's a great woman.

Speaker 1: y K group, like New York, York. Um, all right,
Speaker 1: well we'll be back with more of the Sea Harvey
Speaker 1: Morning Show, I know, coming up at forty nine after
Speaker 1: some closing remarks coming up as well. Right after this.
Speaker 1: You're listening to show Dave. We're here at the last
Speaker 1: break of the day. Just one more thing. You're closing remarks,
Speaker 1: What do you have for us today? Well, I think
Speaker 1: I should talk about dreams because it's such a major
Speaker 1: component to your success. Dreams are such an important component
Speaker 1: to success. You can't underplay dreams. See, let me tell
Speaker 1: you something. Education is necessary for certain fields and professions.
Speaker 1: You want to be a doctor, a lawyer, a dentist,
Speaker 1: a pilot, a scientist, a teacher. Education is so necessary
Speaker 1: for many professions in this world. But there is nothing,
Speaker 1: and I repeat, there is nothing more important than your dreams.
Speaker 1: Your dreams have value. Your dreams wake you up in
Speaker 1: the morning. The dreams give you hope. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying education doesn't do that. But education don't wake
Speaker 1: you up in the morning. It's what you dream and
Speaker 1: hope or becoming with the education that wakes you up.
Speaker 1: It is your dream that causes you to even get
Speaker 1: an education. If you want to fly a plane, and
Speaker 1: that's your dream. Your dream will cause you to do
Speaker 1: the things necessary to accomplish the dream. That's why I
Speaker 1: tell people educators in all, if we spent more time
Speaker 1: talking to our children and school system about their dreams
Speaker 1: and visions, we can reduce the dropout rate. But what
Speaker 1: we're doing is we keep talking to kids about the education,
Speaker 1: and we're not talking about the kids for the reason
Speaker 1: for the education. You gotta get your education because you
Speaker 1: gotta finish school. Finish school for what we have got
Speaker 1: to take time out to talk about their dreams and visions.
Speaker 1: I tell parents all the time, if you're not talking
Speaker 1: to your kids about dreams every ninety days, that's a mistake. Man,
Speaker 1: that's a mistake because young people change more often than
Speaker 1: you think. But if you're not revamping your dreams every
Speaker 1: ninety days as an adult, you're making a mistake because
Speaker 1: guess what you change Also now you know may not
Speaker 1: change as often as your children because you become a
Speaker 1: little bit more subtle when you're older. But you've got
Speaker 1: to refurbish these dreams. You gotta dust them off. You
Speaker 1: gotta keep reminding yourself or what the purpose is, because
Speaker 1: the dream provides you wake up in the morning because
Speaker 1: of what you dream to be. You get excited when
Speaker 1: the lawn clock get all goes off because of what
Speaker 1: you dream to be. Man, don't let nobody fool you. Now,
Speaker 1: listen to me. I'm gonna say this again. Education is
Speaker 1: important and it's critical to certain things in life, but
Speaker 1: you can actually make it in this world without one. Now,
Speaker 1: do you need to have some basics under your belt?
Speaker 1: I strongly suggest you do. And I'm not saying at
Speaker 1: all that you don't need school because you do. School
Speaker 1: offers you a way to become well rounded. That's the
Speaker 1: thing that school does for you a great deal. It
Speaker 1: not only educates you, it gives you social skills. It
Speaker 1: teaches you how to be well rounded. It teaches you
Speaker 1: tow to adapt, It teaches you the tool of memorization.
Speaker 1: So I'm not knocking it at all. But what I
Speaker 1: am saying to you, if you are like me in
Speaker 1: any way and you just not a school person, what
Speaker 1: you're gonna do, You can still be something. If you've
Speaker 1: blown your education opportunity in life, you can still be something.
Speaker 1: If you just don't feel like you can do school again,
Speaker 1: you can still be something. Because the scripture says, a
Speaker 1: man without a dream or vision shr parish. I'm old
Speaker 1: the Bible inside out. I don't know if I didn't
Speaker 1: go to theology school anything, so I can't quote it
Speaker 1: like people can oftentimes. But I don't really don't recall
Speaker 1: ever going to Sunday School or any service I've ever
Speaker 1: been to and read a scripture about how necessary your
Speaker 1: education was. But I have seen repeatedly that a man
Speaker 1: without a dream or vision shall parish. See the reason,
Speaker 1: You'll die without the dream of the vision, because without
Speaker 1: the dream of the vision, you'll give up hope. You've
Speaker 1: heard so many people saying, keep hope alive, because it's necessary.
Speaker 1: The dream, the vision. What you see for your self,
Speaker 1: your hope for tomorrow, that impossible thing that nobody else
Speaker 1: can see except you, that thing that floats around in
Speaker 1: your imagination, that keeps pushing you to make you think
Speaker 1: that's something out there other than this. For me, if
Speaker 1: you wake up in the morning and you keep saying
Speaker 1: yourself mad, that's got to be more to my life
Speaker 1: than this. That's cause it is. That's because it is.
Speaker 1: Your visions and dreams are out there. And let me
Speaker 1: tell you something else. You got to make your dreams
Speaker 1: and visions so big, so big that it causes you
Speaker 1: to overcome all of your fears. See, the fear of
Speaker 1: failure is the number one cause of failure in this
Speaker 1: country because people are afraid to fail. But you have
Speaker 1: to have dreams and visions so big that it just
Speaker 1: overcomes all of your fears. You've got to want something
Speaker 1: so big, so dynamic to happen in your life. Man,
Speaker 1: that you've got to make this happen, and the fear
Speaker 1: is secondary to all of it, and it will cause
Speaker 1: you to push through. You've got to dream of something
Speaker 1: so outstanding that an order for it to have to
Speaker 1: in order for it to happen, you absolutely have to
Speaker 1: have God's help. If you're dreaming of only stuff that
Speaker 1: you can accomplish yourself, I got news for you. If
Speaker 1: you ain't dreaming big enough, start dreaming big, increase your dreams.
Speaker 1: They would change your life. It would change your perspective,
Speaker 1: It would cause your hope to grow. All right, those
Speaker 1: are my closing remarks. All right, Steve, all right, yes
