Breaking Cycles, Building Legacy | Steve Harvey Motivational Talks

Most people who make it big? They’re the first. First in their family. First to break the cycle. First to dream bigger than their circumstances.

And when you're first, there’s no blueprint. No safety net. No backup plan. Just raw hustle, long nights, and the kind of grit you can’t download or borrow.

See, a lot of us who came up hard now want to make things easier for the next generation — and we should. But here's the twist: in protecting them from the struggle, sometimes we accidentally rob them of the resilience that made us who we are.

Our kids grow up doing high-wire flips... with a net underneath. But we? We were flying without one. When we fell, we hit the ground. Hard. And still got back up.

That's what grit looks like. It's not glamorous. It ain't always inspiring. But it's real. It's necessary. It's earned.

So whatever you're facing today — whether you're building a business, chasing a dream, or breaking a generational curse — remember: the grind ain’t optional. You don’t get greatness without the grit.

💬 Drop a 💯 if you’re out here earning yours the hard way. No shortcuts. No handouts. Just you and your mission.
