Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all a sun giving them like the million things and its tobins true good. Steve har to other for please, I don't join jo. You gotta use that turn you gotta turn to turn them out. Turn you haven't got to turn them out? Then turn the water the water go. Come come on your baby now. Uh huh. I share will a good morning everybody. You' are listening to the voice Come on dig me now, one and all is Steve Harvey got a radio show. Okay, today is simple. I want to tell you. I want to just talk to you about effort today. Just about effort. You know, it's it's it's it's a word that people use to describe sometimes trying. But what I found out about trying is trying is just a noble way of saying you didn't get it done. I tried when and then everybody go, well, he tried, that was the best. Well that's that's not exactly true though, that that's that's not exactly true. You are and I want to talk to you about that because I don't want you to be one of the people who just tried. See trying, I mean, I gotta tell you to attempt something. You're gonna have to first try, but I want you to change your mindset from trying to getting it done. See, that's a big difference. I'm really more apt to listen to the person that says to me, I'm gonna get it done. I'm gonna try. What try does is it allows you to fail. It's the person that has the mindset that I'm gonna get it done. Is the person who changes the complexion of things. I'm gonna get it done. It's very different than I'm gonna try. You know. Look, man, I know, I know this sounds a little harsh, but you gotta stop feeding yourself these little old wise sayings that ain't it was a valiant tribe. Hey man, you talk to anybody that took second place in the super Bowl and see how they feel about their valiant try. The only way to gain God's real blessings is you have to try something. Steve your backpedaling, now, listen to me close. You have to put forth an effort to allow God to put his finger on something to bless on your behalf. You must start to attempt now, insane getting it done and I'm gonna try. That's a difference of two different faiths to me that I'm just talking about me. Now, you may be different, so I can't. I can't say this about you, but I can't say this about me. If I say I'm gonna get it done, I have a lot of faith in it. I am going to get it done because I just don't see failure as an option. A lot of times now, if somebody says to me, like the Olympic team invited me out to curl one day, which is throw these stones on the ice. If you're not familiar with it's very simple, and so I said, man, I'd like to give that a try. I went in full well knowing I may not come away from this little curling lesson as a person who could make the Olympic team. I just wanted to try it because I thought it looked cool and I always wanted to get it done. Well. I failed twice. I threw a stone completely into the other lane. I lost that little ice shoe. It shot out under me. But you know what, I kept trying though. I kept trying until I got four of them stones in that circle right where I ain't. But now had I give it up after I failed, after I threw that stone in the other lane, after I shot my shoe down all the way to the bottom side, the little ice shoe they give you, I never would did it. But because I was trying, something got me together a little bit because of my effort, and it caused me not to fall the next time, not to throw it in the other lane, not to shoot my shoe to the back of the wall. All of a sudden, my trying became something. Now had I stayed out there and it wasn't so cold, and I went back week after week after week after week, I promise you I could get it done. I could at least know how to compete in a game of curling. Might not be the best. I might not win the championship, but I could have got it done to the point where I could have competed in the game of curling. So sometimes if you're scared to say I'm gonna get it done, just go out there and get started. You know, learn from every attempt that you make. See, don't quit writing yourself off as a failure every time something don't go right. And when I failed on that ice. I could have said, Man, I can't curl, but hold up, man, I'm watching four other women out here curl, four other dudes out here curling, little kids out here curling. Hold up, Pardner, You know, man, So I learned when I threw that stone on the other ice, when I when I fail, when when my shoe shot off, I learned from every attempt a little bit more about it. And then I said to myself at one point time, man, I'm gonna get this stone in that circle. I'm gonna get this stone in this circle. And guess what I got it done. Now what you're saying to me, Steve, I'm saying to you that you gotta get started, That you gotta put forth an effort. Give God something to bless. Oh God, bless me, Oh God, bless me. Bless you? What? Bless you? Where? Bless you? How? Stop basing your results on what you're thinking. You gotta think higher. You get God in your life, man, He allows you to think higher, bigger, better more. I'm sitting up in my debt. I came up with a plan to get out of debt in five years. I came up with this plan right I was sitting up and I was tripping on it. Now, I said, wait a minute, man, hold up, this is what I came up with. I said, God created heaven and earth, all of it, the mountains, the sky, the valleys, the oceans, trees, the birds, the Indian Ocean, all of it, made all of it in six days, and then he rested on the seventh. So why am I taking to God the five year plan? If he can create heaven and Earth in six days, why am I walking in there talking about helped me in five years? How is it gonna take God five years to getting me out of debt? And he made heaven and Earth in six days. You're the math hill man. I ain't that big. You ain't that big. You ain't in that much trouble. I ain't in that much trouble. See, God got a way of showing you some things, man, but it's gonna take some faith, and faith gonna take some effort on your part. Man, Get out and do something. Man, you God to bless you a little bit and give you a little bit more courage. And then all them attempts you making is gonna and all this so I'll try you know what that turn into. I'm gonna get it done. And at the end of the day, that's what you have to do, because trying to pay your rent and not paying your rent, it's two different things. You can try to play or pay your rent, or you can get it done. Now, how long you think you're gonna stay in that house trying? You got to go with the mindset of getting it done. And if you can put some stuff out there and give God a chance to put his finger on it and bless it for you, the most stuff he can do for you. Quit looking around what everybody else has gotten. Gonna get some of it for yourself. Okay, all right, you're listening to show, ladies and gentlemen, let me have it your undivided attention. Please.

Women love to be protected. Women of course like men who smell good. We like men who surprise us galore. We love surprises. Women love surprises. We don't care if it's chocolates, if it's love notes, if it's gifts or even bouquets of flowers. We love flowers. We love everything. Transparency, that's what we love from our men. We love honesty. All your liars out there, that's still the best policy. Never lie. We like when you dress well, when you look nice. We like when you're okay. We like when you dress well. Nothing turns off a woman. Uh, let me tell you the top three things that women won't Okay, security absolutely, women won't. A future, Yeah, women won't. Loyalty. If you give a woman some security, provide her with a good look at a great future, and you give her your loyalty, she rideed that for you. Less security, future and loy and flowers and chocolates. Don't leave that love, gifts and transparency. We don't want you to lie to us. Where was that is? If you're loyal, loyal to cover hu, but in your the loyalty is honesty.

I'm home, so I ain't got now. Back in the day, you were the best at it. The lie is for a protection of me. Yeah, it's protection of you, not of the woman's protection of you too. No, it's not. It's not protecting me nor your feeling. No, no, no, no, from the truth. You don't know. We need to hear the truth. We can handle you can't handle our reaction to the truth exactly there.

Buckle up, hold on tight. We got it for you. Here. It is the Strawberry Letter. Thank you Nephew. Subject. Twenty years later, he still wants MGP. Well, Dear Steve and Shirley. I'm a forty six year old single lady, and I am ready for the next chapter in my life. In nineteen ninety nine, I dated a man off and on for a while, but finally ended things with him when I out he got another woman pregnant. I moved on with my life and moved to another state. Well. In twenty eighteen, he and I reconnected on social media. Since we live far apart, we texted and called each other daily. He told me he was coming to town and wanted to see me. I told him to come by the house since we were old friends and hadn't seen each other in many years. He came over and we had a great time catching up in person. He later told me that he was not just visiting. He had moved back to town and he wanted to see me more. I had no idea that he'd be interested in me now, because I've been paralyzed since two thousand and four, but that didn't matter to him. He asked me quiet, Steve. He asked me, if I could still do it, would you would just let me finish? Please? He asked me if I could still do it? Yeah, yeah, And your name is mentioned at the bottom as well. He asked me if I could yeah, yeah, yes. He asked her if I could still do it like I used to do it. I teased him and asked, do you know what it is? I teased him and asked, wouldn't you like to know? So? About a month ago, I showed him that I could still put it on him. You see, back in the day he called me miss good P or MGP for short, and he said, I still hold that title to this day. I have feelings for him, but everything is moving so fast. We are moving in together soon, and I want to be sure I'm doing things the right way. We dated over twenty years ago, and I already gave him a sample of MGP. So should I put put the ninety day rule on him when we move in together. I don't want to get married. I do want to get married, so I'm trying to do things right. What do you think, Steve, she put your letter in. Okay, so you have permission, all right? All right? Come on, Now, you dated this guy back in nineteen ninety nine. You off and on. It wasn't even a regular real relationship, really, it was off and on, and then you finally ended things when you found out he got another woman pregnant. All right, Then this same guy twenty years later comes into your life and you're ready to move in with him. Why are you going to move in with this man? I mean, why you gotta explain this. Nothing in this letter says you need to do that. Okay, he lied to you about so many things, and uh, you know he actually lives in your town. Now, first he said he was just visiting. Is this really the case? Or was he hoping to move in with you all the time. I just you know, I'm going to ask you don't get played by this man. He's probably telling you anything to get in your house. Remember, now it's been twenty years since you've seen him. Now you close your letter by saying you're trying to do things right. Nothing about this is right because you've already slept with him, and you want to impose the ninety day rule on him. That is so backwards, Steve. Please, we're all okay. I don't know how you strip around all this other information saying I don't know what part you read, but I'm going right to where I'm stuck. Forty six year old single lady, ready to move on day to the man, off and on in nineteen ninety nine, but off and on, but found out he got another woman pregnant. When you moved on with your life, he moved to another state. Well two eighteen, y'all reconnected on social media. Since we live far apart, we text and called each other daily. He told me he was coming to town and won't to see me. I told him, come on by the house, or what else are you gonna do? I mean, I'm through, Okay, Okay, so he comes by to Hell, Okay, see, okay, permission, but don't go crazy. Okay, I'm trying to shoot you. Old friends and they ain't seen each other many years. He came over and we had a great time catching up in person. He later told me he wasn't just visited. He had moved back to town. Oh that convenient, uh huh got over there and found out you staying by yourself. Now, he ain't moved back, he ain't visited. He to move back, and he wanted to see you more. Now, the lady said, I had no idea he'd be interested in me now because I've been paralyzed since two thousand and four, so fourteen years you've been paralyzed. Before I go in it further, is that something I need to know about paralyzation before I assume that means paralyzed came moved that all I'm asking, surety, Well, I mean it depends on you know what kind of that could be, A like a portion of it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, And there's nothing wrong. This is not a good This is just about this lady in this leadder, so please don't nobody. But she wrote me and put in the ladder. Now, you didn't have to put that in the ladder, but you felt it was important. So now, Shirley didn't dance round this hill, but you didn't. I just know you. You didn't mention it paralyzed since still for fourteen years. But that didn't matter to him. He asked me if I could still do it like I used to do it? Well, way you get that question for him? Now, I don't know what she was doing that got you this title that he gave you fourteen years ago, but how he's still asking that question. So now we're gonna have to get into it when we come back. We feel to come back and find out why he called her miss good Peace or We have part two response coming up at twenty three after the hours you're listening to show. All right, Steve, come on, let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject is twenty years later, he still wants MGP. Yeah, he still want MP. Let's just go and get to this letter right quick. What did happened is y'all got back together social media. He says he still wanted you, and that surprised you that he'd be interested in you because you've been paralyzed since two thousand and four. But that didn't matter to him. He asked me if I could still do it like I used to do. I teased him and ask, wouldn't you like to know? So about a month ago I showed him that I could still put it on him. You see, back in the day he called me miss good P or MGP MG is where we need. It's either miss good or most grand P. You know, unless like like if you're in a mate, if you're in an Elks club, you might be the master Grand Poopa, or maybe you had the MVP, you could have had the most valuable Okay, we get it. Or your name is Margaret Gail. I don't know what it is, but you paralyzed now. So his question was can you still do it like you used to do it now? I don't know what she was doing back folded before prior to two thousand and four. I don't know what she was doing back then, but obviously it wasn't what I was thinking. See, I was thinking, to get to Tyler MVP. That that has to be some monkey flipping, got the chandelio, swinging, some doknob, diving, some foot of the bed back, some assaults, some edge of the bed, your knees, a lot of bouncing. It's just a lot of stuff go in there. When if you were to consider someone that, where are anybody? Yeah? But now I don't. I can't go too far because I don't want anybody that has a situation to think I'm making fun of him cause or not. But the lady did right me with the pali paraized things since two thousand folk. But she thinks, Steve, so, I don't know how to heal what y'all doing in that now. I don't man what's going on either he had never had no MGP before, or it was the best MGP he ever had. Maybe didn't require you to do much, Steve, she said in the letter, I showed him that I could still put it on him. Now she said that, Yeah, she said that, Sherley. But now that makes me question, what would you putting on it? The MP? You think? Okay? Now, the only thing I can think is is that inside the MGP, what it's like a It's like once you buy mission to an amusement park. Once you go into park, that's where the rides is at. See that's what I'm thinking. That's why you could So it could be the most grand park. It could be go ahead ship. He's sorry, sorry for interrupting you, but I need him, he said, I still hold that title to this day. That's why I'm saying. There must be something going on inside the mg Yeah. See see, maybe maybe MG stands for Madison Guard. You know, maybe the MG is a short for MGM where a lot of activity going build see the shows I'm assuming that there's a lot of stuff going on once you get inside, the show ain't outside. Maybe they ain't got to be nothing going on. Maybe that you know, a lot of I don't know if his hands, I don't know, if it feels, I don't know what it is. Some yeah, if it needs some helps to let me help her. You go ahead, Jake. What she wanted him to lord, what she would like for him to do is roll up on her. Because she is not a not a fish around person. She is not handicapped in this department. You understand what I'm saying, roll up on me. Not she's not. She's not gonna let him walk all over her. That hey, Jake, but paralyzing shit you waste, Jake. To even it out, you get in the chair and you rolled over here watching, Thank you, thank you. Now you might think this woman don't have no feeling for you, but she do she do? Oh, she gotta leg up on the situation. She gotta let up the situation. She's not gonna be burial waiting on you. Probably probably some dude, dude. I did it with that thing, baby, with that thing, I showed him that I could still put it on ys, you did, lady, and congratulations and so since you hadn't done that and you gave it something and y'all dated over twenty years ago, and I already gave him a sample of the MGP shit. I put the ninety day rude on him when we move in together. Unless you want to ask the roll right out of here. You're probably too late for this hell to walk out your life. You been give it up? Yeah, I feel like twenty years you've already committed. He's moving in and you wanted man, you do want to get mad, So I'm trying to do things right. You've already known it for twenty going to see where it go. Congratulations. I don't know how you did it, but whatever you're doing, to keep up the good work doing it? What? Ye I don't know what.

What old argument do you or your significant others still bring up to this day? Yeah? Man, now well no, wait a minute. This was the topic on reddit dot com. A man said he complimented a waitress on her short, bald haircut in front of his wife, and over a year later, his wife still makes him feel badly about it. According to the story, his wife offers to go to the bathroom and shave her head if that will make you happy. I love it, Yes, I love it. Right. Well, maybe I need to go to the bathroom and shave my head if that'll make you happy. Maybe that'll make you happy if I got a shave head. Huh, I know just how she said, you know, yes, a little our hair cut. Huh, what a compliment. It's a compliment. Oh you don't like my long hair? Maybe I need to shave my head. Maybe that'll make you happy, yes, and said you compliment. You're handing out compliments and stuff, all right, So Steven, I don't know why this makes me think of you. Do you have any arguments in your relationship that never go away? And you know something that comes up from time to time? Oh? Well, the only thing we really are about over knowing some damn kids.

That's one you know comes up all the time, you know, And I'm too hard. I don't know how to love the kids in spite of their problems and stuff. I know kids have problems and everything, but you know, I don't want him. What do you their parents supposed to listen? I'm tired of parents, do you? Damn it? You thank you know everything? Go ahead, that's this little section of your life up with your little stupid ass. Come in here. I don't know the man. I'm so sick, man in hell, go ahead. Try. Oh she got so mad at me. The other day I took one of the kids. Ask me if I said, try if you know that ain't gonna work. Well, okay, if you tell them don't do it, they're gonna do it anyway. Try it. You just try. Let's see, let's go ahead, do it knowing that. That's not knowing what's gonna happen. Because when I told you not to do something, you do it anyway. Then you come back in here. I should have listened to you. You don't she going out here and do it fall on your face? But did you when you really? Yeah? I did most of the time, oh most most of the most of the time.

She says, let me get up and go to the bathroom. It must be a conversation. She didn't go on the running head like this damn shirt, so he got waiting.

All right, tell us when we come back, last break of the day and Steve's closing remarks. You don't want to miss him. We'll be bat you're listening all right here we are Steve, guys, last break of the day. Steve send us home with some great closing remarks for today. Had a good day to day. Hey, my closing remarks today is something that I want to share with you all that I've been kind of are dealing with a lot lately, and I mean a lot. And the only reason I'm sharing with you because I think there's quite a few people who can relate to this, the thing that I'm trying to correct in my thinking. Uh, you know, the Bible says be anxious for nothing, and there's I'm pretty sure that are people who could explain this a lot better than me. But being anxious for nothing means, you know, in other words, don't worry so much about what is going to happen. Don't don't want something so badly that it consumes you. Don't keep wearing about something that you want to see happen, that you're expecting to receive, that you want to be gifted, that you want to acquire, whatever it is. Be anxious for nothing. Now that's hard to do. It really is because naturally, as people, including myself me personally, I have a tendency to focus on the things that I want. Here's the problem with it. Here's a twofold problem with it. When you focus on what you want. Number one, focusing on it shows a lack of faith because every thing you've ever needed. I mean, really, just ask yourself. Hasn't God always done it? I mean, what you need it. You may not get everything you want. Everything you want ain't good for y'all can tell you that right now. I've wanted a whole lot of stuff turned out not to be good for me. But everything you've needed God has taken care of. So being anxious for his will to be done I mean, I mean being anxious for Him to do something in your life, which is something He's always done. It just exhibits a lack of faith when you become anxious for stuff. The second part of it is is it causes you to lose focus on what you already have. And once you lose focus for what you already have, you are no longer showing the level of gratitude that you need to exhibit in order to move your life forward to the next level. That's a dangerous trap, and I find myself in it oftentimes, and I'm just gonna be I'm just gonna be honest with you. So what I'm trying to learn and teach myself and become comfortable with it, it's how not to be anxious for nothing. Realizing that God has always taken care of me. God has always taken care of you. God has never been late in this world. He ain't ever been late, not now single time. He always comes through with everything you need. He may not come when you want him, but he ain't never laid. So I have to get comfortable in knowing that He has always come through for me. He has always delivered for me. So why am I being anxious? And in my anxiousness for what I don't have, I now cause myself to lose sight and show the proper mind of gratitude for what I do have. And gratitude is one of the major opponents of the principles of success, because the more you are grateful for, the more God will give you to be grateful for. You. See, So sometimes I trick myself out of blessing by overthinking it, over wanting it. I mean, I'm not saying you're not supposed to want anything anymore. You will, but don't be anxious for it. Don't be sitting up fretting about it. He gonna do what he's supposed to do. And then, in another word, God don't really need your help to accomplish nothing. He really don't he can get all this done without you get out of the way. So you know, though, that's something right there. It's been one of the main focuses. And when I get it right, when I'm not anxious for nothing, and I do show the right amount of gratitude for what I've already been given, it releases pressure from me. You know, you've heard old people say, if you're gonna pray about it, don't worry about it, and if you're gonna weary about it, don't pray about it. And you know, sometimes in my anxiousness, I'm praying for stuff over and over and over. But you know, if you're gonna pray about it, you got you got, you gotta not worrying about it. But if you're anxious for something you're worrying about it, you're just worrying about it. And that right there is not the way that it's done. It's just not the way it's done. And I've been learning over the past month or so really how to focus on that a lot better. And that may be something that you might be looking at two or going through, and I just wanted to share that with you because you know, it could be something that you might be dealing with two and I'm just sharing with you that you ain't the only one going through it. You ain't the only one feeling some kind of way about it that in actual a lot of people might be doing it and we and we're doing it injustice to ourselves. So be anxious for nothing, trusting the fact that God has always taken care of you, way better than you've taken care of yourself. Those are my closing moments. Hey man, Steve dropped that. That is the thing that I'm rapidly with a lot lately. Okay, we're all about it, and don't that's right. Well, I have a great week here for all.
