Two Faith-Based Practices for Success and Happiness

Steve Harvey presents two practices that he says transformed his life and can help people pursue success and happiness.

1. Ask God for What You Want

Harvey cites the saying, “You have not, because you ask not,” and encourages people to seek God’s help rather than trying to work everything out alone.

2. Write Down a Detailed Vision

Referring to Habakkuk 2:2—“write the vision and make it plain”—Harvey suggests:

1. List 300 things you would like to have, experience, achieve, or give. Be specific, and keep going even when ideas are difficult to come up with.
2. Read the list for about five minutes every morning and every night.
3. Keep the vision somewhere visible, such as on your phone, computer, or another device.
4. After one year, review the list and mark what has happened.

Harvey recommends practicing these steps in faith and with expectation. He says his own list has helped him track goals that came to pass.
