Imagination!

Most people would recognize comedian Steve Harvey thanks to his long-standing role as host of the gameshow Family Feud, but less would know that Harvey is a self-made millionaire who has some pretty introspective talks available for your viewing pleasure on YouTube. One of those little golden nuggets surrounds his opinion that the Lord reaches out to you by gifting your imagination little inklings intended to spur personal growth or development. A devoutly religious man, Harvey is not shy in professing his faith, and thanks to the wonder of the Internet, has spread some goodwill and compassion far and wide in hopes that others will benefit from what he has to say.

One of his "preachings" centered around the aforementioned imagination. CLICK for his video.

"When you imagine things, it’s actually God showing you a preview of a coming attraction he has for you. The biggest dream killer is telling small minded people what’s in your imagination. Wondering why your friends or family shot down one of your best ideas? Because God gave it to you and not them. The things that have been in your imagination… you have to start working on them. These are the gifts that God has for you. Practically everything we use or purchase started out as an idea in someone’s imagination ... your cell phone, your car, etc. 

The things in your imagination aren’t there by chance. You have to act on them now."

Broderick Stephen Harvey was born into a tough life as the son of a WV coal miner, and thanks to a severe stutter, his dreams of making a name for himself in show business were shunned by his early teachers. After conquering his affliction, and following some life changes that eventually landed him in Ohio, Harvey found himself in dire straits, leading to a period of homelessness where his vehicle also served as his bedroom, using local gas station restrooms and swimming pools to maintain his personal hygiene. Through perseverance, determination, and focus, he eventually used his gift for entertaining and enlightening to realize his childhood dream of being on TV. (Wikipedia)

However, Harvey cannot be considered an overnight success.

His career, though considerable, has been a series of small successes that opened doors of opportunity that would trace a maze worthy of any respectable labyrinth. Never shy to use his failures and sort-of successes as fodder for his proclamations, his philanthropy is infamous, especially his vigour for helping single-parented young people. His comedic, engaging, self-effacing manner reaches millions with a message that centers around self-concept, self-confidence, and self-belief, a true stereotype of the "American Dream".
