‘Crazy’: Steve Harvey Blows Fans Away After He Reveals What Changed His Life

Steve Harvey has made his mark in the world of entertainment with hosting talk shows, comedy, acting, penning books, and motivational speaking.

On Nov. 30, Harvey re-posted a video to his Facebook platform that he’d posted earlier to The Official Steve Harvey YouTube channel, one giving the audience two things that will transform their lives.

“You are looking at somebody that’s been at the bottom before,” Harvey said. “I’m not like some rich dude who mama ’n’ ’em had some money, and gave me some money, and now I’m telling y’all how to get over,” he continued. “I’m going to tell you how to get over because I’ve been under.”

The first thing Harvey told his audience to do that could change their lives is reading the verse “You have not, because you ask not” from James 4:2.

Harvey noted that the scripture isn’t in just rich people’s Bible’s, but that of the everyday person.

“Most people don’t have the life of their dreams because you don’t ask God for the life of your dreams, Harvey said. “You’ve been trying to figure it out and handle it yourself. Well, how that’s working out for you?” he asked.

Along with reading the word, one must have a vision board, writing down what they want out of life.

“Write the vision and make it plan. So he who reads it will run to it, and even though it will tarry, wait for it. For surely, it will come at an appointed time” from Habakkuk 2:2-4.

“What I’m telling you works. This ain’t no magic trick,” Harvey said with power in his voice.

Harvey then gave viewers an exercise to help them achieve their fullest potential.

“Write everything you want from God on a piece of paper, be as detailed as you can. Write down 300 things, open up your imagination,” Harvey instructed.

“Do not stop until you have 300 things. Read your list every morning and every night. One year from today, go down your list and check off anything that has happened for you.”

Harvey explains that the task must be done in faith, with the expectation that God is going to move mountains. “At the end of one year, you will be stunned at how much stuff comes off that list,” Harvey said.

Fans gave their thoughts on Harvey’s motivational speech.

“I will come back here one year from today and give my success story.”

“Steve giving some true advice. Trust and put God first, and you will be successful.”

“This is incredible! I started this list a few months ago, and I’m already crossing things off! I was raised by a single mom in government-funded housing, who knew it was this easy!can’t wait to be walking the runways 🙏👏.”

“This is absolutely true! My sister and I have done it for years, and it is crazy how it works.”

“Mr. Harvey!! This worked for me! This is so true!!! I’m now in the UK pursuing great things!!”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
