ThePeopleAlchemist Edit: Business & Lifestyle Experimentation for #TheWomanAlchemist #SmashYourCeiling

What is the best way to beat the fear of failure and start living your best life? I watched a motivational video on YouTube, and I came across the Steve Harvey motivational speech that happened after taping his show "Family Feud". Yes, that's right, Steve Harvey. He is not just a funny as hell comedian; he is an author ( Act Like A Success, Think Like A Success) and boy, he has some great advice. It is one of the most moving I have ever heard, and this is the full transcript because it is awesome - no comments are needed (imagine it with a little swagger and his distinctive way of talking). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoERF5qfKXM

LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE

"I’m going to share something with you. I’m going to tell you something... that every successful person has to do, including you. Believe it or not, every successful person in this world has jumped. I’m going to tell you what I mean by that. You eventually are going to have to jump. You can not just exist in this life. You’ve got to try to live. If you wake up thinking that it’s got to be more to your life than it is, man believes it is. Believe in your heart of hearts that it is. But to get to that life, you are going to have to jump. I tell you why I call it jumping. See God when he created all of us, gave every last one of us a gift at birth. He never created a soul without endowing it with a gift. So you just gotta quit looking at gifts as running, jumping, singing, dancing. It’s more than that. It’s if you know how to network, you can connect dots, you draw, you teach, some of yall fried chicken better than anybody else, bake a pie, some of you cut hair, colour hair, some people do grass.

YOUR GIFT

I got a partner man who never wanted to go out with us cause we stayed out too late. Come on, man, go out with us. Nah, I got to get up early in the morning and cut Mrs Johnson grass. We kept laughing at this dude. Cutting grass, how much do they pay you? He got a landscaping company in Cleveland worth 4 million dollars. Cause all he does is cut grass, but he was gifted at it. I got a partner who own a detail shop make 800k dollars a year. Detailing cars, he got six mobile trucks running around. 800k dollars a year, all he does is detail cars. That’s his gift; that’s what he loves to do. You got to identify that gift. Now listen to me. When you see people in life. When you’re standing on the cliff of life, and you see people soaring by, and you see people soaring going to exotic places. You hear about people doing wonderful things. Maybe you look up the street, and your neighbour gets a car every year and every two years. Yo... how is he doing that? Have you ever thought may this person right here has identified their gift and is living in their gift? Because your bible says, this is your bible, says your gift will make room for you. Your gift! Not your education. You get an education. That’s nice, but if you don’t use your gift, that education will only take you so far. I know a lot of people that got degrees that they ain’t even using. It’s your gift.

JUMP

The only way for you to soar is that you got to jump. You got to take that gift that’s packed away on your back, and you got to jump off that cliff and pull that cord. That gift opens up and provides the soar. If you don’t ever use it, you are just gonna go to work. If you’re getting up going to work on a job every day that you hate going to, that ain’t living man. You’re just existing. At one point in time, you ought to see what living is like. But the only way to see what living is like, you’ve got to jump. Here is the problem, I’m going to be real with you when you first jump. Let me tell you something; your parachute will not open right away. I’m sorry. I wish I could tell you it did, but it doesn’t. When you jump, it’s not going to open right away. You are going to hit them rocks. You are going to get some skin torn off on those cliffs. You're going to get all your clothes torn off. You’re going to get some cuts on you, and you're going to be bleeding pretty bad, but eventually, the parachute has to open. That is a promise of God. That ain’t a theory; that’s a promise.

FOR LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE - JUMP

His promises are true. Just listen to me. You can not name one single thing God has not gotten you through. Name it! And if he ain’t got you through it, he is currently pulling you through it right now. The living proof of it is your sitting in here. If he hadn’t got you through it, you wouldn’t even be here. So if he ain’t never not got you through it, why would he not let your parachute open? It has to open, man. But you got to jump through. Now here is another thing. You can play it safe and deal without the cuts and the tears. You can stand on that cliff of life forever safe. If you don’t jump, I got another promise I can make you. Your parachute will never open. You will never know. You will never know what God really has for you. See, your God has a wonderful life for you. Once again, I’m going to refer to your bible. You go down there and memorize these scriptures and don’t apply them to yourself. Your bible says that he comes to give you life and give you life more abundantly.

I'm saying it again - jump

If I were you, I would jump because that’s the only way to get to that abundant life. You got to jump, man. You got to take a chance. Now when I get through talking, those of you will discuss this in the car. Well, I got bills, and I got bills. Whether you stay on the cliff or you jump, you’re going to have bills. Well, if I quit my job, I’m going to ruin my credit. If you got a job, you living check to check, even if you got A1 credit, you can’t buy nothing else no damn way. At one point and time, man, do yourself a favour and see what God really does. God holds you up; man, he ain’t gonna let you fall. He didn’t bring you this far to let you fall. Do yourself a favour, man, before you leave this world. Before you die, Jump. Just jump one time. Just Jump" - Steve Harvey For living your best life, you gotta jump.
