You gotta turn ing the You gotta turn to turn them out. Got to turn out to turn the water the water. Come come on your baby, Uh huh, I shore will good morning everybody, y'all listen to the VARs. Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show, man on man on man. Grateful for it comes with a huge amount of responsibility. I didn't really know I was gonna have to be this responsible, you know. Um, can I share something with y'all? I started out to Finally I had gotten on track and was able to see a way to even pursue my dream. It has been a long, a long trip that I've been on, and I've gone through so many phases of it. It is rewarding along the way to accomplish your dreams. What I'm saying is this, let me, let me put it together, because I got so much running through my head right now. You know it's it's one thing to accomplish your dream, but there's joy in the process of achieving it. See, some people are so caught up in the goal, the final goal, that they find no joy, no enjoyment in the process. If you have found what it is you want to do and you strike out on that journey, please understand you are far more blessed than the average person to know what it is you really want to do, to find your work in life, your purpose, to find out what direction you want to go in is such a blessing. The average person if you sit down and talk to them, oftentimes don't have their life on track. And it'd be some people that you're looking at you think God it going on because of their appearance, their swagger, or they walk like it, they talk like it, they look like it. But if you sit down and talk to the average person, the average person man does not know what their purpose is, has not discovered what they want to do, and have no idea how to get there. If you are on the other side of that, if you understand your purpose, if you have an idea of what you want to be, and you are on your way there, you are truly blessed, and in that blessing, you must recognize it as a blessing. You must recognize the fact that you are on the right side, and that there should be a sense of accomplishment and a feeling of pride in you that you are on track to accomplish your goal. See what used to happen was sometimes I used to keep my nose so on the grindstone that I wouldn't even look up and realize. Man, hey, man, I know you're trying to get here, but Steve, hold on, man, can't you see what you've done so far? Can't you find there's some joy in the process. See, a lot of us lose the joy of the blessings God has given us because we're looking at the end. Tomot, I ain't there yet. You on your way. I'm gonna give you an example. I had a friend who told me that they wanted to be a million now, and they asked me some questions and I told him, so they started the process, and I am telling you, this dude works extremely hard. So about a year later we were talking. He had found this business, he had set his goal, and he was working towards it. Then about two years later I ran up into him again. We were talking about it and everything. It's a man, really really appreciate the advice. He said, Man, but this is all jacked up, man, because I still ain't made that million I was talking about. I said, well, hey, man, just just keep at it. It's coming. He's a man. Keep at it. Man. You know how long I've been doing this? Been two years now. And I didn't say that to him, but I said to myself, yeah, two years. He said, Man, I've been grinding so long. Man, it's just it ain't having it from me. I said, wait a minute, man, hold on, hold on. I said, about how much you're making right now a year, man, about two hundred and fifty thousand. I quit breathing. I said, well, my man, two years ago you didn't have a clue. Two years later, you're making a quarter of a million dollars. I said, man, do you understand how blessed you are? I said, man, your family was about to get put out two years ago. You don't bought a house? Yeah, man, but this ain't the house. I really won't. Oh Pardner, whoa I got that? I got that house. You really won't make Mike call five eight million. I don't know. But man, all got a house, you're making a payments, you drive it. You ain't out no more? I said, hold, man, you got to stop. I said, you got to stop. I said, man, because right now, man, you you coming across as real ungrateful to me. And so he said, man, why are you tripping like that? Man? Man, you act like don't nobody want to have nothing but you? I said, whoa man? Where are you going with this conversation? I said, Oh, I didn't come to you. I just came to you and ask you how you doing. And I'm trying to point out to you that the journey that you started on, that you are on your way, and you are in the process of accomplishing your goals. And can you not feel some joy and some pleasure in your accomplishment. Quit tripping on the fact that you ain't made a million yet. You on your way. You don't went from your He thought, this dude was making fifteen thousand dollars a year. You making quarter of a million dollars in two years. May come on, man, can't you see? Can't you see? So he said eventually a man, I kind of see what you're saying. But that ain't about nothing to me because I ran up into him a year and a half later. How you doing, man, Man, I show wish I'd appreciate it my life when I had it like that? I said, what you mean, had it like that? Man? Just fell on some hard times. Man, I'm right back why I was. And then we talked. I said, hey, man, don't worry about it. I said, Once you know how to accomplish something, I said, you just reapply the same principles and start on over again. Man, you know how hard it is to be to start over. Okay, my man, Hold up, partner, you can't do yourself like this again. First you wasn't grateful for what you had. Now you're looking at the fact that you might have to start over, and you know how hard it is to start over. Maybe God said, okay, you ain't happy with this, Okay, didn't handle it your way? You obviously ain't happy with the way I'm bringing it into your life. You want to handle it your weight, Go ahead and handle it, because he will let you have it your way. Can I tell you that he will let you do it exactly the way you want to it? Because he gives us all the power of choice. So then maybe he said, Okay, you don't appreciate the way I'm doing it. You don't like the favor I'm showing you. You think it's take it too long. I'm gonna let you do it your way. I'm not gonna turn my back on you. I'm just gonna let you do it your way. Just just say. Maybe he said that, and now he right back where it was. So what I try to get the young cat to understand was, man, appreciate your life for what it is. Because like life, Jenny's got that song that he got out off this album. Still I still believe it could have been worse. And now that it is worse, what's on your mind now, folks, If you are on that side of life where you have figured out what you want to do, you know how you're gonna get that, and you know your purpose. You're accomplishing what the majority of people never ever do. So be grateful for your process. Don't tumble yourself, don't throw yourself off to cliff It's gonna be all right. Success takes a measure of time. It is not easy. If success were easy, everybody would be successful, ladies and gentlemen, may have your undivided attention. Please.

I'm telling you, it's not that you see the neighborhood, you see all of the things. Okay, look, this is what I want to ask you. Do you feel like I've heard a lot of people say this when they've gone to Africa. I've never been. Do you feel like home, like it's your home, like you're at home that we did that I know you do. You cannot be an African and come here and not feel at peace or warmth and the exhilaration of being home. If you're Jamaican, your African, if you if if you from Saint Thomas, the Caribbean, your African. If you're from the Bahamas, you African. You're from Brooklyn, you African. I'm telling you. And when you come here, it's it's it's the feeling that you have to experience. Every African American, every African person of this sent hey, Saint Thomas, the Caribbeans, all of that. You have to come here because this is where you're from and it is one of the most beautiful feeling and it is nothing like we've been taught. What's it like now? Does it have some problems? But can I ask you a question? Don't America have some problems at soul, but it's not at the level that they tell you it is. Everybody's not hungry, everybody's not at war, and everybody don't have flies on. That's that's that's a false picture. The economy is booming in a lot of these nations over here. Uh.

Yes, I try to get all of them back home, unless they got family members or something that come up there and meet them up there and want to take them to Jenna or sun afterwards. But I usually get about it back home, okay. Okay. Now, this class Sunday, which is part of the reason why I'm calling me, They saying that some of the church members that was on the band this Sunday, they are complaining, saying that that the church band was spending like weed when they got on there. Excuse me, they say the church van was spending like weed when they got on there. And you are the person that was driving. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, not not the van that that I'm driving.

We could be reading your letter live on the air, just like we're gonna read this one right here today all right, buck it up and hold on tight. We got it. Fu you here. It is the Strawberry letter subject he wants to skip the best part here Stephen Shirley, I am a seventy year old woman with raging hormones like a thirty year old. I love making love to a man that knows what he is doing between the sheets. I met this man about a year ago from an online dating site. After five months of talking on the phone, we decided to get together. Now. I've always thought of love making as an art, and if you are not an artist, I am not looking for a painter. I know my performance is very artistic, or so I have been told. I like variety, nothing too kinky, but a little variety. I told my boyfriend that he will get quality if he gives quality. I am big on getting things started in the right way and not just jump being right to it. My boyfriend started out doing the pregame show, but now he wants to get to the main attraction right away. His stamina is wonderful, so there are no complaints there. I constantly wear sexy lingerie and he compliments me on it, but he doesn't take time to enjoy the presentation and unwrap the package. He is a good man, very loving and giving, and he is even talking about marriage. I would love to marry him, but I need to know that he is willing to romanticize me and keep it passionate and not just do a wham bam, thank you man type of deal. Stephen Shirley, how can I get him to take his time and not just jump in. Well, I'm gonna say this. I do like the fact that even at seventy years old, you're still being a boss in the bedroom. Okay, you say you have hormones of a thirty year old. I like that. I like that you know what you want and all of that. I think the problem with you who is you're You're not on the same page, You're on different pages. Any smart man knows that women love the build up. We love the romance of it all. We love the pregame show as you call it. All of that for play is essential for women. We get that part, yes we do. But every single time, though, every single time, you gotta have a big pregame show and all of that. No, ma'am, just real life just doesn't work like that. I'm sorry, and this is real life. It is not a game as you call it. Uh yeah, you know, some people just want to get to the main attraction. They really do. Uh. Sorry to disappoint you, man, but that is how it goes in life. When we get packages, I mean, think about it, you know, when we do get gifts and packages sometimes think about Christmas. Sometimes you unwrapid you know, fold up the wrapping paper and fold the bow nice and neatly. And then sometimes you're so excited you just tear into the package. You just k the paper off, you know, you just snatch the ball off. You do that. I mean, that's real life. Huh yo, this woman is seventy steve with the hormones of a thirty year old. Well, I don't know. Okay, anyway, we just tear open the packages, we do, all right. So I have to say this to you. You gotta go with the flow. Okay, you gotta go with the flow. It should not be the same every single time, it just shouldn't. You gotta go with the mood of things. Life is unpredictable at times, and so it's sex in the bedroom and all that. So, um, you gotta you know, be a little flexible here and think about that situation. Sometimes you rip it off, sometimes you go slow. All right, that's just how it is, Steve. Then, No, the letter is not about being well, you know you was in here talking about getting stuff ripped off. Let's go over this letter. A package got a seventy. We got a seventy year old woman that's living with the raging hormones of a thirty year old. Now, let's just stop right here for a seven. That's scary. Dog gone it, that's scary. And if you're asking me, you're a little late fall this year, you should have had the raging hormones of a thirty year old when you're asked, was thirty? You're seventy, Now you're seventy. Now I appreciate it because I'm playing it on being, you know, around at seventy. But I don't want to be like I was at thirty. For the purpose of this letter, the lady says, I love making love to a man that knows what he's doing between the sheets. Well, hell, he's seventy. Out of hell, he don't know what he's doing. If you ain't experienced by seventy in the bedroom, you what what what would you doing? You've had seventy years to get it right. If you ain't doing it right right now, I'm sorry, Pardner. You can push your chips up to the window now, she said. I met this man by the year ago on the old Line dating site, and after five months of talking on the phone, we decided to get together. She says. Now, I thought of love making as an art and if you're not an artist, I'm not looking for a painter. Now, let's analyze that line from this seventy year old I thought of love making as art, and if you're not an artist, I'm not looking for a paint. Ain't that cute? I love that line. Ain't that cute? I like that a lot too. That's real. What the hell du that mean? Cute ass line? That's the way to write a letter. But what the hell we're talking about love making? Anybody tell about no damn brushes and paint you seventy we're talking about old paint anyway. I'm a big fan of getting things started the right way and not just jumping right into it. My boyfriend started out doing the pregame show, but now he wants to get to the main attraction right away. When we come back, come on. Let me explain to you why he wants to get to it right away. All right, we'll have part two, the reason of Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hour. Today's subject he wants to skip the best part. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show.

I'm assuming he's of age, and they started seeing each other, and she says, I'm a big fan of getting things started right when you're not just jumping into it. When she said the beginning, her boyfriend started out during the pregame show, but now he wants to get to the main attraction right away. Now, she says, his stammer's stand stamina is wonderful, so there's no complaints.

All right, coming up at the top of the hour, more on Steve's fabulous trip to Africa. He's in Botswana right now. We'll talk about it when we come back right after this you're listening to all right, So Steve, you're in Botswana, you've been there for the last couple of days. Tell us about your big day. What's what are you planning today? What's happening today? As soon as I get off the air, I'm speaking, uh, in front of five thousand students at the University of Botswana today, So wow, do a keynote address? Well, I was invited by the president, President McKenzie, who invited me to speak to the university and they're going to stream it to six other locations and so it's gonna be a really huge event, you know, just as a motivational speaker to the students of Botswana at the University of Botswana. That happens today and then after that I take another tour. Uh. They've shown me some of their facilities around here. They've got an incredible television facility here in Botswana, Uh, and they have an incredible radio studio, which is where I am now. They've got six radio studios here in this facility. They've got amphitheaters, they've got a large seated or the term, they've got outdoor amphitheater. They just have everything, man, it's really They got news stations, they got recording studios. It's everything over here. And you know, we're just looking at all of the value that's here and offering some suggestions and you know, moving forward, we'll see how that works. But it's been a beautiful visit, man, the extremely kind people over here. I gotta tell you, man, if you haven't been to Botswana, let let me say this first of all. One of the reasons I was invited here was to increase, like I said the other day, was to bridge the gap between Africans and African Americans. See, the tourism over here is huge, man, Choby large, where I gave away on my Hawk Show Wants I sent a couple to Choby. I'm gonna go to see the Okavanga Delta, which is an amazing experience. And the thing of it is, though they want so desperately for African Americans to come and see their homeland because the majority of people that partake of this are Europeans. Okay, I'm just telling you. The majority of people who partake is not Americans. It's Europeans, and they desperately. Well, I mean, you know it's close, you know it's over here, it's where some of the owners you know, advertise. You know, it is what it is, and we just don't know about it. Americans, we don't know about it, and we're not talking because the first thing we do with our vacation is we want to say I ain't going that far. It's our home. We've got to elevate our thinking as a people. We have got to connect to these Africans because this is who we are. This is the year of the return the four hundred years to commemorate the first slave ship that left here four hundred years ago. And the whole purpose of that the Ghana President created this was so we never repeat this again. You have to come here to see this. Now. I'm gonna tell you when you go to the slave councils, it's gonna be emotional for you. There is no way you can go and see this and not be gravely affected. I'm talking about a pain you haven't felt in a long, long time. It's a painful place to see and you understand the real evil spirit and the atrocity that was perpetrated against us. And what makes slavery such a cruel atrocity is that it occurred for four hundred years. That's a long day to do the evilness that was done to us. Yeah, and the whole thing with the Khana president is this can never happen again. And all of us as African Americans should come home to see this. It's a game changer for you. You cannot be the same after you come here. It's impossible. All right, Steve will thank you for that. Um. Coming up, Yeah, coming up more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show at twenty minutes after the hour right after this. You're listening, all right. It's been a month now since Lamar Oldham was kicked out of the Big Three Basketball League for being out of shape. Now Lamar says he's giving up some vice. Oldham got put out of the Big Three. Yeah, because he was out of shape. Yeah. I didn't know that three shape for half court basket. Three man, I can't meet it. And that'd be like me going out there to play three all three damn sick. Yeah, there's three three. It's not even the whole court. I swear to God, we're all within ten feet of the basket. Ain't nobody that's fat? Well Now, Lamar says he's giving up some vices because he wants to have a healthier lifestyle. He said he's giving up candy. That's a good start, and he's giving up porn time. He says he's trying gonna give up candy and poor because you're gonna have a healthier life. That's what y'all to give up candy cause your ass is farty? How about just damn? He says, he's trying to be better port in time. Candy can't mean that much to your ass is farty. You look stupid chewing candy? When does that all that in your mouth?

You're listening show. All right, Steve, here we are, last break of the day. You want to leave us with some closing remarks you said earlier with something that someone gave you. This one my closing remarks to day is interesting because it's kind of two part. You know, I was thinking about we were talking earlier about when you ask off something, you gotta be careful because he may give it to you, but he oftentimes gives it to you in ways that's not quite what you had in mind, because the route that he oftentimes chooses is not the route we would take. But if you look at it, it's always the better way, because God's ways always serves multiple purposes because as you live your life and you affect other people's lives, sometimes he uses you to affect the outcome of someone else too, And sometimes he puts something on you that he realizes and he knows that you're strong enough to handle, so he'll let you in do it to prove a point to another person. It's just amazing how he works, man, and there's no way of trying to figure it out, So you might as well stop, because trying to understand his ways that's a feudal process because his ways is so advanced, so high, it's we can't we can't possibly think that way. And so as I was talking about how I used to one of my vision board, I was asking God to increase my global brand and persona, and then I made that huge mistake on Miss Universe and all of a sudden, my name in forty eight hours was google four billion times. I was the most google person on planet Earth for a period of time. Okay, now, guess what I asked God to increase it. I didn't want him to do it that way. But as I journey around the world this summer, I see what He did because I can't tell you how many people recall that moment. And now people are beginning to compliment me on it. Man, that was a great thing you did. I thought that was a real courageous and it showed honesty. And so many people talk to me about different things they've seen videos of mine, whether it's the jump video or book they read. And I get that all around the world. I'm in Africa, man, and I can't go nowhere, and it is a amazing what God has done for me and how God has wrapped my life up the way he has, and it was all in such unexpected ways. So I'm saying all that because I'm gonna read something to you that somebody sent to me that really struck a chord with me, and I'm gonna share it with you now. They sent it to me, and this is what it said. It said I asked for strength, and God gave me difficulties to make me strong. I asked for wisdom and God gave me problems to solve. I asked for prosperity and God gave me brain and braun to work. I asked for courage and God gave me danger to overcome. I asked for love and God gave me troubled people to help. I asked for favors and God gave me opportunities. I received nothing I wanted. I received everything I needed. Trust in God. See, I found that to be so rich man, because it's so amazing how he works. Man, you ask for strength, He turned around and he give you difficulties that make you strong. Then you ask for wisdom. He turned around and he give you problems to solved. Then you ask for some prosperity, and God gave you a brain and some braun to put it into work. And then you go and you ask God for courage, and then He gives you danger to overcome. And then you mess around and you ask God for some love, and He turned around and he give you troubled people to help. And then you ask for favors, and then God set him give you some opportunities. Well, I received nothing I wanted and received everything I need. It. Trust in God. That's the deal, man, y'all feel me, that's the deal. That's how it works. Man. God gives you everything you need. It may not be the way you want it, but it always gives you what you need. Do you realize how strong you are because of the difficulties He didn't put in front of you. You wouldn't be as strong as you were if you didn't have to overcome the things you overcame. So man, ain't you got? So that's why you hear people say you gotta thank God for the hard time, because guess what they make you stronger. You ask God to give you love, and he give you trouble people and health. Well, guess what you got to love him to do that. And when you love him, guess what you help a troubled person. I bet they love you back. That's cold, man, the way he set this thing up bad. And I'm just glad man that I'm a sound mind and God gave me the ability to realize and finally turn around and look at what He's actually done for you. Instead of focusing on the things you don't have because if you focus on what you do have, you may realize that you have enough and quit tripping about what you don't have and use it and use the principle of gratitude to further your life. The more grateful you are, the more things God will give you. To be grateful for is to core essence of receiving more blessings is to be grateful for the ones you have. But no, no, no, no no. You know what I used to do so much, keep asking, asking, asking, without thanking him, thanking him, thanking him for all the stuff he's done for me. Then when I got smart to it and started thanking him for all the stuff he did for me, guess what he did. He gave me some most stuff to be grateful for. Yes, Lord, yes, Lord crazy. That's my closing remarked today. If you wasn't feeling that, man, I feel for you, drop the mike. Steve, Hey, man, y'all have a great weekend. It Wednesday, I know it Wednesday.
