You gotta turn to turn turn Lobby got the turn out to turn the water the water. Come come on your back at it. Uh huh, I show will good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Yoh man. God is in the blessing business all day every day. God got hundreds of millions of blessings that he passes out every day. All I wanna do is be the recipient that I'm the recipient of what He has for me. That's all I want. I just want God's favor and I go. I want God's blessings. You know, of course I need his mercy and his grace, but I just want his blessings and his favor. I want. I want that in my life because it does things for me that I'm absolutely incapable of doing for myself. And I've been a recipient of many of those and you can be the recipient of them too. You already are, really, really, you already are. If you're getting up every morning, that's a blessed. If you're getting one day closer to anything you're trying to accomplish, that's a blessing. But now let's let me let me talk to you about this part right here, folks, because this is the part that messages people up a great deal. What happens when you get off track? What is that? What does that mean? When you get off track? See, I've been off track. I can't tell you how many times, and it happens in so many aspects of your life. But but what is it that makes getting off track so debilitating to some people? You know, there are some people who want to stay off track, They off course, they off the dream, they own to something else. And you cannot allow the fact that you've gotten off track to stop you can. I tell you something. Everybody gets off track. Nobody does a diet exactly, meal per meal, calorie by calorie exactly. Everybody makes mistakes. But somehow there are people who have made a success of themselves. There are people who are living their life's dreams. There are people who lose weight in spite of getting off track. See what happens when you get off track. Here's the simple thing to do. The simple thing is just to get back on track. Now that's that's But that's easier said than done, ain't it, Steve Yeah? Because see people, when you get off track. Here's some of the things that happened. See you get the Here comes tony sayers, some of them from the outside, some of them internally. Here's what gets said when you get off track. See I told you, I told you, you know you. You you start hearing that it's not for you. Okay, this is all just because you got off track. It's not for you. Okay. Here's another one. It ain't meant to be. You can hear it all. You could say it. Well, I guess it's just not meant to be. These are all things that people say to themselves once they get off track. You can't do it, well, I don't guess I can do it. Here's another one. I thought you said that you was gonna make it. You know I was show hoping I could have made it. It comes external or internal. But these are just some of the things that's that I thought you said you was gonna lose weight. Well, you know I had tried to lose some weight. I'm just going down the list of some of the things that goes through a person's mind when they get off track. But let me ask you a question, though, who made the rule that when you get off track you can't get back on? Who Who made that rule? Where has that written that once you get off track you can't get back on? See, because I'm gonna tell you something, folks, there's no such rule. As a matter of fact, it's it's quite the opposite. See, everybody in pursuit of a dream, a goal and aspiration or a mission, it's going to get off track. Sometimes you're going to get derailed. They're going to be days where you're not going to get it right. That are going to be days where you feel like giving up. There's going to be days when you're just gonna flat out get it wrong. That's the journey. But let me tell you something. Every successful person that I know ever met talked to set out and chopped it up with have shared one thing in common. We all get off track. We all get it wrong along the way. I don't care who the person is. The president got it wrong along the way. Your pastor got it wrong along the way, quite director who I got it wrong along the way. The principle at your school got it wrong along the way. The valor victoria of your class got it wrong along the way. The star of the team got it wrong along the way. They've all been off track. Your boss down at your job, he got it wrong along the way. Your immediate supervisor got it wrong along the way. Everybody I know that has any measure of success in every in every level that you call success, however you want to label it, has gotten off track. As a matter of fact, it's impossible. Listen to me. It is um possible not to get off track in pursuit of your dreams, goals, visions, aspirations. It is impossible. Don't you let nobody tell you that they got through life unscathed, that they made it because they was just so determined and I would let nothing turn me back. Yeah, you might not have let nothing turn you back because you're here. Oh but you thought about it, Oh you thought about it on days when you was off track. But see, people don't like to tell the whole story. They just want you to think as much as you can about them. So when they tell you their story, they leave out the stuff alone. The way, it was just hard work and determination that got me here. No it wasn't, No, it wasn't. It was the fact that you got off track and the grace and mercy of God allowed you to get back on. His forgiveness allowed you to get back on because you would not believe what some of the people have done. So when you get off track, don't allow the nay sayers outside and the big nay sayer inside, because let me tell you something, the biggest nay sayer of them all comes from inside. See, it don't matter what other people say out there. They takes some time for you to learn this. And I understand because it took me some time to learn it. See, I have a lot of nay sayers out there, but I ain't operating for them, operating function for the ones that love me, for the ones that get me, for the ones that understand what I'm really trying to do. And so don't you be the one that doesn't allow yourself to get back on track when you get off track, because, like I said, who made the rule up that you can't get back on track? There's no such rule out there. Stop stopping yourself from getting it right. So what you started to diet at the beginning of the year, and you already off, start another one, start over, try it again, don't ever stop trying. If you stop trying, you can't make it. But if you never give up the effort, if you never give up and say it's over, it ain't over. You heard the saying it ain't over to the fat ladies, saying I never invite her. She's not invited. It ain't over to the fat ladies, saying I don't know where the fat ladies stay. I have not sent her an invitation to none of my events. She's not welcome here. She didn't ask me a couple of times. How come I never get invited? Because you're gonna start saying it and I ain't got time for that. All right, stop inviting the fat lady to all your events. Thank you, you're listening show.

I got a filter this because this back. Yeah yeah you sah no you didn't. You started off with hudah All right, listen coming up next. Uh, well this we can't call this something funny. We just have to say. Gladys Night says she does not have cancer. Will explain when we come back. This is deep. We'll be back at four after you're listening. Steve Harvey Morning Show, Steve Friends. Family civil rights leaders said their final goodbyes to the Queen of Soul, uh Stevie Wonder, Jennifer Hudson, and Fantasia, along with former President Bill Clinton, Smokey Robinson, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, Faith Hill, Valerie Ashford, will be Goldberg, and the list goes on and on and on, and of course her good friend, Miss Gladys Knight. Now. While attending services for Aretha Franklin at Greater Grace Temple in Detroit, Ladys Knight told the TV station there w d i V that she's suffering from the same disease as Miss Franklin. Take a listen. This is a tough day, isn't it. Of course it is. We lost our queen, you know, and she's my sister and she's family. Well, I didn't want her to suffer. And it's not our business, it's the lord's business, you know. He calls us when we're supposed to come home. And she has done more than her share of using that gift that she was blessed with. I'm just glad to be here to honor her at this time. We had some good times. We learned together, we grew up together. Our families were Semilio similar and she was a family girl and I'm a family girl and that kind of thing. So yeah, we had those things in common. You know. We like to eat, we like to cook, we like to do all those things, and those those are personal times for for us, you know. But the last time I talked to her, we were at the same hotel and we didn't know it, but I know her crew and family. She knows my crew and family. And Steve I think walked downstairs, Steve Valary, and so she called him as she said, tell Glad, it's get down here. Because we talked to each other, they came Unta Wreatha said get down. I went down and said, we read what you're doing now here. So we just got to talking and everything, and at that time we shared the fact that we had the same disease. Said have a say journey home. Yeah. But Steve Gladys cleared things up with tmz um. She said, I'd like to clarify that Aretha and I discussed both of us having cancer. Mine was stage one breast cancer and hers was pancreatic. We all know that due to early detection, I am cancer free and grateful for that. Miss Gladys continues, it is unfortunate that on a day we should be celebrating Arepa's life and massive contribution to our world, a reporter who did not relay accurate information has missed the message. I send my love to the entire Franklin family and my gratitude for them for sharing such an extraordinary person with us. So that's how glad It's cleared things up. Because it was trending all over social media that Gladys Knight has the same thing that Arepa had. Yeah. Always, yeah, yeah, they got some information on that. It just ain't right right, It's just it's just It's amazing though, how many people get their news on social media? Like it's faction. You've been going crazy. And I think when she said what she said, I think like social media and other media outlets, they kind of said, oh, Las Night has pancreatic cancer, and I think she also meant that she was suffering with pain like a rest of it all. You know, the headline to make you tune in, that's right. How many times have you read a story on social media that was nothing like the headline? I mean, he ain't even close, but they lure you in with this dramatic headline and then the story don't meet none of them. Yeah, yeah, not at all. Well, um, here's another story. Um okay. Melania Trump is upset and embarrassed over the insults thrown at her husband during Miss Franklin's funeral, and she feels horrible, she says. During his speech had a wreath of Franklin's funeral, Reverend Al Sharpton delivered not one but two different disses aimed at Donald Trump, one implying that he needed to learn the meaning of respect uh, and another slamming Trump for saying that Areta worked for him on numerous occasions. When Donald Trump, our president, heard of um Aretha's passing, he said, I remember her. She worked for me on several occasions. And we were mortified that he said that that that came out of his mouth. Yeah, he said that. Uh that it did come out of his mouth like that. Um. A source close to Milania told um UH magazine exclusively that told sources that she's mortified over the shade thrown at her husband. She feels humiliated and embarrassed by the multiple Donald insults at Aret this funeral. Uh. That's according to the source. It makes Melania feel horrible that Donald is not welcomed or invited to Areath this funeral, that he was not invited to McCain's funeral, John McCain's funeral or Areta this funeral. And uh then to hear about speakers making subtle jabs at her husband. Now, someone who who's jobs were not subtle was Michael Eric Dyson. Yeah, I mean he said, oh yeah, did he? Yeah? The first lady wishes more people liked her family and is constantly, constantly embarrassed by the public's opinion of her husband and when people take shots at him and her family. She said, it really stings. As a result, Milannia has been trying to get Donald to a real back some of his rhetoric. Good with that, you know it's gonna bother. You know, you married to this man. You got a son. You know, he catching hail. I'm sure the boy, the boy catching straight hal And there's no fault Milannia or or the child. It's no fault that he's the president that he messed around. And one, oh, you know that part about not being invited to the funeral, that's you know what I mean, you know, that's just uh, you know, funeral is a funeral. It's a going home service. It's supposed to be a moment where we celebrate the lifeline of who this person was. You know, we were talking about that dash. Yeah, you know, you got the date of birth and you got the day of demise, the year to demise. But what you really want to talk about is that dash. It's the smallest part on the tumbstone, but it has the most weight in it. And that's Grintha had a huge dash. Your funeral is like what seven And you know it's just I don't see that. That's that's but John McCain had three funerals. Three I'm not I mean, I mean seven hours is a long funeral, especially for the family if they have to sit there. That's all I'm saying. I don't care who you are. Yeah, and and her family, the granddaughters, grandchildren, they s you know, it was it was like you said, Steve, it was a seller of so many performers, so many people singing. And I think you know the situation where President Trump and John mc there was real tension and real beef and he's still kind of like talking about this man and he's deceased. John McCain did not want him there. Fer Well, Trump doesn't get it. I think every y'all gotta stop getting mad at it because this is who he is and this is how he is. He can't change. When he said Aretha Franklin worked for him, what he meant was he had hired Aretha Franklin several times to perform, but as an employer mentality, the head man of all that yes surveys, he like, I loved her. She used to work for me. That's all he meant. That's really what he meant. But when you stack it on top of everything else, he's done. That is no leeway for him now he work. Everybody was outraged when he made that, but in his mind that's that's it his mind. He didn't he did that. That ain't what to do? Was that with it? But he's seven, Well, he should have come back and cleared it up. He doesn't. He always doubles down. But he has sent him on his remarks. He's got to learn from Yes, come on, you're the president. We don't care to change. We gotta go Steve. Coming up next and entertainment news, Bobby Brown will tell his story his way. The Bobby Brown Story World premiere is tonight on b ET.

All right, subject, I want the car, but not the ring, Dear Stephen, Shirley. Last year I moved to a new city and I planned to start a new life. I wasn't exactly looking for love, only a friend. Yeah, I have always been if you had just waited one more line. Okay, okay, but listen to this. You're gonna like this. I have always been into older men, so I found a club where older people go. I was the youngest woman in the club. An older gentleman approached me and I was immediately attracted to him. So we began dating and things were going good between us. After we met, things in my personal life weren't working out, so I moved back to my hometown. The older guy and I stayed in touch, and before I moved, he asked me to marry him. He has four kids and they're all older than me. His youngest is thirty four years old. I have been dying to meet his kids because he's pressuring me to marry him. We have only been together six months and we have not been intimate. Yet I'm comfortable where I am in my life, and I'm glad to be back home. I'm working two jobs and he helps me out, but he keeps pushing me to get myself prepared for a wedding in January. He wants to buy me a car, but he said that I can only get it as a wedding gift. When I say I do now, Shirley and Steve, I really need a new car, but I don't want to get married yet. I'm only twenty four years old. He's a great man, and I might want to marry him one day. I don't want to lose him. Should I just keep working hard and buy my own car? Or marry the older guy? Please help? Yes, you answered your own question. Keep working hard and buy your own car. You're only twenty four years old. His oldest, like you said, is thirty four. You didn't mention how old he is, But if his oldest is thirty four, I'm sure he's a lot older than you. Um. Yeah, the pressure. Why would he want to you want him to pressure you like this? Uh, you're twenty four. You've got a lot more of life experience to get to before you take such a big commitment. Okay, you began dating, things were good, they weren't that good because you moved back home. All right, so you moved away from this guy. You like what the things that sugar Daddy buys you and get you, but you don't want to be tied down to him like that. So I suggest you, like I said, you've answered your own question. Just keep working hard and buy your own car. Okay, Steve, Well, well, ain't this a little bit different? Oh? First of all, I won't a car, but not doing what we get down to it. You don't want to Mame.

But we had a lot of people to just we talked to yeah to tell us how they felt about the trip. Take a listen here at some up. Hi. I'm Dane. I'm from New Jersey. This is my first time at Sandy. Always been a fabulous event. I started following Steep at the Apollo Theater where he was doing so it's really good last night to see him and this element because he was hilarious back in the day. I will live for him to go between the commercials and really like engaging the audience. So last night was just like a reflective piece of seeing him do that. It was like really nostalgic, I think so so far that's been my best part, just kind of seeing him back in his element. Hi. My name is Andrea a k A. Punkin from San Diego, California. I am here for the main reason of seeing and hearing my favorite radio host, Steve Harvey in the morning crew in the Flesh. I was excited about being able to see and hear Steve Raw being himself. Hi. I'm do Wanna from Durham, North Carolina, by way of Detroit, Michigan. This is my first Sin and Soul and I have basically enjoyed everything that I have been comment thus far, the best thing about the Sand and Soul Festival is it gives you an opportunity as an everyday person to meet and interact with everyday beautiful people, including the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Hey, well, so this is a big business out of Okay. See, I'm out here is Standing Soul. It's just been off the chain. Steve Harvey has been the realist man in this thing. Being able to to see him sit down and literally teach and show the real person that he is out here without all of the cameras and lights, and to know that this man really means what he says and and really believes in his communities and his foundation. I'm just so proud of him and Marjorie, and I'm very thankful to be able to participate in the Santus Soul today. I appreciate the people that come up to us and say nice stuff about the truble. And we'll take a break and come back right after this. You're listening to Steve Harvey alright, Steve, So people are coming home from Standing Soul Festival. Of course, we just left their Dominican Republican put Khana. We had a great time, and uh, folks, you know, maybe moving kind of slow. You know. Um, they might be a little late to work because it was a holiday weekend, you know, and people just they don't want to get up the next day because they had so much fun. So, uh, give us some crazier or just outrageous excuses people can give their bosses for for being later missing work. I dreamed it was a hurricane, oh see. And I just could not get on that plane. Man, you know, just something come over me. I was just so full of the spirit and it just told me don't don't get on that plane. And I said, Jesus, are you show? This is you? And I just I just couldn't do it. So I'm late the cause of religiously that. I'll tell you what they're gonna say. Steve said, wed No, he said, we're good. You don't believe. Don't believe? Are right? You know I'm saying we're good. I'm being there on Thursday when I get back. Yeah, Steve, work good for two days. I got to with y'all. What what are you like? Did you see the cli? Yeah? Man, you ain't gonna believe this as saying this so called sandy me and my girl was out on the beach, and I'm trying to tell you what And you know how you be playing in the sand. You know how they bury You understand what she buried me in the stand And when I woke up, I dug out the wrong weight. I ended up going deeper. So when you took me along as time to hear about that hold. And now I'm here, thank you Jesus. What doing Junior excuses for being late today? Yeah, I ain't gonna believe it. Left my damn car keys in the deal. I got to go all the way back. I got to go back. I left my car keys right there room seven. I know I got to go back. I'd never get in there. But you you didn't drive you for a little. Yeah, but my took I locked the house, my house, kid car keys on saying key chain. I left in room seven to one ninety six, Building seven in the bag. I got to go back and get the kids. You're fine now, I'll be back. When are you coming back? When I get them keys? Mr Harvey, why are you late? You ain't here? No, I didn't hear what I'm asking you.

This happened last Thursday while we're in the Dominican Republic. Um. Uh well, bow Wow um lost his cool while shooting at a party. It was hell for Debrett at the West Side Arts Center. He reportedly damaged equipment, including three cameras, and when people tried to de escalate things and hold him back, he turned his rage on them. Police were finally called to the set to deal with the situation, and the next morning he posted on Instagram, stop overreacting and stop with the sympathy text to my phone, Uh, you all are not therapists, so stop acting like one. I got this, thanks? Uh? What's going on? At got the money for this? Here? What the tantrums and all? What's going on? I don't know? You know, but I don't know. Talks about me? I don't. I don't know what's going on with Well, he's he has a new album coming out, Steve. It's called suicide. He's spelled it backwards, and he's been talking over that. Say, well, he's been talking openly about how he's paranoid that he won't make until thirty five. Till the age of thirty five. He's thirty one right now, all right now, So yeah, we don't have to pray for me? Yeah something yeah, yeah man? Yeah, but what it disious? It's suicide? Spill back. Oh you wrote, you wrote the letters down. I'm trying to figure out what's going what is it saying? Again, that's the album c I us, that's suicide spell backwards. We don't like it either way. Okay, do that you need to stop all that. You need to go and talk to somebody if he because if you think people on Instagram thinking they therapist, maybe he needs to go see one. But the hell you think about dying full thirty five? That ain't even number. He says he's paranoid though, that that's not even uh, that's not even like a monumental number. You know. I ain't think I'm gonna leave to be twenty one. I ain't think I'm gonna make it the eighteen. Who the hell says? I don't think I'm gonna make it in thirty five. It's too random. I never thought i'd make it the fifty. Yeah I got that. Yeah, you're right. I've never heard anyone to say so that's four years from now. He's thirty one. So but I don't want to say no because he gets so angry on Instagram. I just want him to get some help. If you need that, well, maybe that's what he needs some help. You know, black people, we always don't know. I just want to go to therapy. But therapy and maybe people that love you and care about you. And yeah, you're trying to say albums, Yeah, because it's been a minute. Yeah, well that's a good selling to just being you know, get your copy. I'm talking about haven't destructed. It seemed to come from nowhere. It seems to me like hip hop is taking a turn to be a little bit more singing about good times and stuff like that. You know, it's a lot less this and a lot less bragging. Yeah, it's still there. Yeah, I could be wrong. I don't know. Well it's I was too storytells, and I just thought they've gotten a little bit more. I think after watching J and B's concert, which can't be considered hip hop except when he's performing alone because now, yeah, in the game, but he had a whole another level and all these people that be hating on him, these young boys.

It's your t we gotta go. Hey, listen, all right, thank you, thank you. We'll be back at forty nine after to close out the show. One more break, Steve. We'll close out the show and get some closing remarks from you, sir. Yeah, alright, just go and go to work, all right, right after this you're listening to show. All right. Here we are at the last break of the day. Um, Steve. We've had a good day, talked about a lot of stuff, and of course, as usual, it is time for your closing remarks. Today. I want to keep it positive, but I want to keep it encouraging at the same time, and always as usual, I just wanna say this before I start. It's not that I think I know everything, because I don't. But in my sixty one years I have learned quite a bit. I have learned how to come from the back towards the front. I've learned how to be at the bottom and work my way to towards the top. I've learned how to get over because I've been under I've learned how to win because I have lost so many times. I've had learned how to develop an understanding because I have been more than confused before. So I have paid for these lessons that I've learned. So I'm just sharing, and that's all I'm doing. You don't have to take any of this that I say too harder. You may choose to go another way. But for those that are really open to just hearing some theories of success, that's why I decided to start doing close and remarks again. Today, I want to talk to you about something that really helps everybody, and it's very simple. Get focused. You gotta get focused to folks. You've got to become what I call laser being driven. You've got to set your goals and visions up, and you've got to put those blinders on that you see on the horse. See the reason they put the blinders on the horse is so that the horses peripheral vision doesn't distract him. If you have up in New York and you see those carriages going around Central Park, all those horses have on blinders. It's so that they can keep the attention of the horse straight ahead. Blinders are very good. If you want to be successful, you're gonna have to put on a pair of blinders. That's so your eyes when you look left or right, it forces you to get them back out front the where you're trying to go see because those blinders block out distractions. They block out distractions because they know you got to get laser being focused. If you want to be successful, you have to focus. You have to stop veering off track. You're just making the journey longer. You know, they say the quickest way from point A to B is a straight line. Now in life, it doesn't work that way. There's no straight lines. But you can avoid some of the detools, some of the distractions. But you gotta quit veering off track. Everybody come to you. You can't participate in everything. Hey man, we're going out tonight. Hey man, we're going over here this weekend. Hey man, come on man, you ain't gotta study. We're getting ready to do this. Hey man, don't worry about that. We're going a happy hour. Come on, man, you can't go to everything. Stop veering off track next. Look at it like this. Get your mind made up. Get your mind made up of what you want to have in your life, the legacy you want to leave, what you want people to think of you as, how much money you really want to make? Where are you really trying to go? How do you really want to be viewed? What do you really want to accomplish? Get your mind and made up. Here's another way to look at it. Make a decision. Stop stop just wandering around. Life is a series of decisions. Make rue. Just make a decision today. Make a decision. In other words, come to a conclusion. Man. Just set up and say to yourself, you know what, this is the deal for me, This is what works best for me. This is who I really am. Skip the outside interference from your friends and your and your relatives of what they think you all to be, and do what's really good for you. Don't nobody know what's best for you better than you. Come to a conclusion. Make a decision, set a goal, have a vision. Get thirsty. Won't something so bad that without it your mouth taste dry. You got to get thirsty, man, See when you thirsty, you got to get that quenched. You have to quench your thirst. And that's how you gotta pursue success. You gotta pursue success like you're thirsty. You gotta be thirsty, man. You gotta want something so bad that if you don't get it, your mouth tastes dry. What are you thirsty for? If you ain't thirsty for nothing, you ain't giving it all you got. I'm telling you, man, this is how I look at it. These are just some triggers that I put in my head. Be relentless. You got to be relentless about something. Being a relentless person has a carryover effect. And if you get relentless about your dreams and goals, do you know that makes you relentless about everything. If you develop these positive characteristics about being successful, you can get there. You got to get focused. You gotta stop and off track. You gotta get your mind made up. You gotta make a decision. You gotta come to a conclusion. You gotta set a goal. You gotta have a vision. You gotta get thirsty. You have to be relentless. If you're not, you will vey off track. If you veer off track, you will never get to where you're trying to go. You got to get focused, y'all. It's as simple as that. And if you know how to do it, ask God to show you how. That's the other thing. No matter what I tell you, if you include God and everything I'm telling you that it becomes a lot simpler. You know, God can help you get focused. Anything you're short of He got plenty of God. And to make your dream come true business. God is in the turn your life around business. God is in the pullet together business. God in the get over business. He can do it. So if you don't know how to get focused, ask God to help you get focused and then make a decision to be focused and get on with your make something happen to day. Those are my closed remarks today.
