MUST, MUST WATCH Steve Harveys Truly Inspirational Message: EVERYONE JUMP Steve Harvey is one of the most under appreciated people out there in entertainment. Sure, we all laugh at his antics on Family Feud and wish we were that fast with the quips and the comebacks, but if we were, Steve Harvey wouldnt be, well, Steve Harvey. That isnt exactly the message that he gave the audience after a recent taping of Family Feud, but its one take-a-way from it. When the video below was shot, Steve didnt know the cameras were rolling. Thats probably a good thing. What he had to say is something that every American needs to hear. (Wonder if this this what he tells audiences after every show.) Good Catholic girl that this writer is, the black preacher, Bible only message doesnt always inspire like it does for those who follow other brands of Christianity. Dont get me wrong. I carry my Bible to Eucharistic Adoration and read it, but theres more ways to ask for the Almightys help in my faith tradition. However, the way Steve Harvey put it, You have to jump, is absolutely right. (And, really what I needed to hear this week.) In order for all of us to do what we were put on this earth to do, we have to take a chance and not listen to the pressures of the machine that tell us in order to be happy we need X, Y, and Z, one of which is a job that may or may not be fulfilling. In order to be happy, we have to feed the soul, and take the chance that the gift, or gifts, we were handed will eventually bear fruit in the form of comfortable living. We have to give in to that inner call, and be who we are meant to be. Nothing made this writer happier than leaving the office behind and jumping into a life of creativity in writing, music, and crochet. Success is not immediate, as Steve says, but every little victory beats away the blues of the failure of the the day before. So, thank you to Steve Harvey, and the people who took his message and spread it for all to hear. We are not cogs in the machine. We are all unique humans with very special gifts and whatever work people do that fulfills them and sustains them is a good thing.
