Harvey got a radio show partickling me this morning. Steve Harvey got a radio show filled with nothing but joy and hope about it too. You know, it's a great thing to be able to wake up in the morning with peace in your heart and joy. Peace and joy is is immeasurable. It has a value attached to it, and I have no idea what it is. It's invaluable.

It's invaluable.

It is worth so much more than any amount of money you can make. Peace and joy. I have not always had that. I've not always been a peaceful person or a person who lived his life and enjoy spirit. It took an arrival at this moment. Some people arrived sooner than others. I wish I had arrived at this point sooner, but I think it was necessary for me to learn a few things too. That's the amazing thing I've learned about life is that instead of reflecting on your past incidences and calling them failures, instead of focusing on the negative and calling them bad times, I look at them now as experiences. I had to have those experiences that were negative, that were good, positive, wrong, evil. I had to have all those experiences to become to shape who we are today. We all have to have them. If you look back at all the negative experiences you've had, all the things that you called failures, all the businesses I started that went under, all of the jobs I had that I was fired from, all the shows that were canceled, all of the times I thought I was going to get something happened in my way and turned out I didn't get it at all. When you look at all of it, all of it, hopefully along the way, what you have done as a person is you've taken those negatives and those failures and you've used them for what they actually are. They are experiences, and they've now created in you an experienced person, and you know that is worth something. That's then it becomes a positive. But what too many people do is they let the negative things that have happened in their life, They allow the failures that have happened in them lives never to manifest themselves as experiences. And you sit up there and you dwell on it, and you dwell on it until you have this woe is me attitude. Stop looking at it like that. Y'all, you go through things in order to become the person that you are today. I'll tell you who you sometimes have to sit down and talk to. Sometimes you ought to sit down to an inmate that really gets it, an inmate that.

Says, man.

Says, man.

I've actually heard inmates say it to me and write to me, and they've said things like, man, come into prison, save my life. Now, those of you have never got how can he say a thing like that? But some men, no, Man, I was so far out there that if I'd have stayed out there, I wouldn't even be here today. This actually allowed me to stop, spend some time with myself and learn some things about me. Now, does that happen for everybody like that? And no, But here's a person who has taking an experience that could be considered a failure or negative and turning it into a positive and using it to enrich their lives. You can do it no matter what your set of circumstances is. I recommend to everybody that you try changing your outlook in order to change your outcome. Everything that happens to you that's negative or you consider failure their experiences. You've got to go through these things in order to have the knowledge that you have today. So I wish that I had come to this arrival that I'm in now, this place of peace and joy. But then guess what, I will not know what I know. I couldnot share some of the things that I'm able to share if I had not gone through some of them. And sometimes that's the purpose of them. It's to teach you a lesson because you know, God has a plan for you. He really really does, and eventually He can use you no matter how old you are, and he can use you no matter how young you are. If you just say, Okay, I'm ready to hear your plan. I've tried mine. Mine ain't worked out. What's your plan for me? God, what do you want me to do? That's why I say every day Steve already got radio show, y'all. Cause man, I ain't see it coming. I didn't see that coming. I ain't see this book coming. I ain't I ain't seen half of the amazing things that have happened to me. I didn't plan them. I was sitting there, man, asking God for some direction. And then I got smart enough to stay watchful, be a hard worker. Now because faithful. Our works is dead and it came. And I'll remind you of this. God has given all of you a gift. Every last one of you listening has a gift. God has never created a soul that he did not provide a gift to. God gives everyone a gift, and a gift is not just singing, rapping entertainment. The richer gifts are much more than that. Teachers are gifted people who really have the gift of sharing information. That's a gift, you know, and in that you can become great. You know a lot of people think that successful and greatness is the same thing. Cornell West said it at my daughter's graduation. He was a spokesperson. He said something so pointed. He said, don't ever confuse success with greatness. The two have nothing to do with each other. See, people determine success about money and fame and all this here, but greatness. Greatness ain't got nothing to do with your money. It ain't got nothing to do with your fame. It's how you conduct your life. It's how meaningful and significant you become in your community, at your church, on your job, to the cub Scout unit that you run to the little girl's lives, that you change that that little center in the hood where you just one place of hope to so many people and they come back. And I used the example of Lou Dazzler who passed away in LA who had the Boys and Girls Challenges Club out in LA And he wasn't a rich man at all, and if you walk by him, you wouldn't even know.

Who he was.

Who he was.

But if you look at all the people who have gone on to become politicians, who have gone on to become CEOs, who have gone on to become athletes, that have passed through this man's small building in the hood in LA, he was great. Trust me, man. Prayer changes things. I said all the time. But when you see people become successful or great that somebody praying somewhere may not even beat them, maybe it's they. Mama. You know, I think of Tiger Woods and all the greatness he's accomplished. You know, they always talk about his father and all this here somebody somewhere praying for Tiger Woods. I got cash money riding on that Tiger Woods. Mama is a praying woman or something. My mother was. She prayed me into this place because she used to call me all the time praying for you, boy, and prayer changes things. It really does. Try it today. It can change you. It has changed millions of people. Open up yourself to the greatness that's in you, because God is giving you a gift matter fact that you ain't using it. Who fought you think that is? I'm just telling you you got one and if you start praying about it, it'll manifest itself and you can become one or two things, successful or great or both. You can make the decision today.
