Steve Harvey suffered a major blow to his career when NBC cancelled his chat show “Steve” despite the show’s success and high ratings. Harvey refused to let this break him; he drew strength from his religion and famously said, “The God I serve didn’t bring me this far to leave me.” His strong message about resilience and trusting in a divine plan was his answer to the show’s cancelation.

In an Instagram video that went viral, Harvey expressed his conviction that opportunities always seem to present themselves at the end of the tunnel. Everything that happens, even the cancellation of his show, is a stepping stone on the road to self-improvement, he said.

Realizing that setbacks lead to opportunities for growth, this perspective echoes a more universal belief that trials should fortify rather than weaken one’s faith.
