Y'all know what time is, y'all don't know, y'all bag all suit on looking back to back down, giving the mother just like themaking buck bus things and it's cubs, y'all do me true good at Steve Hyeah listening to move to other for stobarten money. Don't you join? Yeah? Yeah, well by joining being men sat turning, Yeah, you go. You gotta turn you to turn at the time, lovey got to turn out to turn water water go, comey, come on your back at it. Uh huh. I shall will a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on now dig me if you will. Wanted only Steve Harvey got radio show. Okay, sure'n be honest with y'all. Was rushing rushing this morning. So but that's what it takes. Sometimes sometimes you have to put forth a different kind of effort, you know. One of the things about being successful. And I was sharing this just the other day with a young man and he asked me. He said, hey, man, I just don't see how you get up that early in the morning. I just don't see how man, it would it would kill me to get up this early in the morning. Well, I sat there and I'm listening to it because it's just a thou sometimes I've heard it, you know, and my life is, you know, not too different from a lot of people's lives. There's a lot of people out there that rise early. And I guess I don't know. I don't know what he wanted from me or how he wanted me to take what he said. But I just said there, you know, just indifferent to the tones because I've heard it so many times. I don't know how you get up that early anymore. I don't know how you do all them jobs. And I just sit there, man, because I remember, first of all, I'm grateful to be able to have a job. I'm so grateful to be able to do one and several that I happened to enjoy doing. I mean, you know, it's work, and it's difficult at times, but it's I mean, you know, I wanted this. You know, you gotta you know, you can't ask God for not then he give it to you. Didn't be mad that you got it. Don't make no sense. You know you're asking for something, me give it to you. The problem with asking God for stuff is a lot of times we're asking for stuff. We don't really know what all it encompasses, what all it really is. And I asked for this. Now along the way I've gotten far more than I asked or I want you to do. Understand that, and um, you know that's that's his grace at work in my life. But I get up early and I go to work because I do understand something that it is not walking up to you. Nobody walks up to people normally and just hand them checks all the time, and enough checks to sustain your life, and not only sustain it, but to have a life that where you could enjoy and do some of the things you want to do. That's I don't know the person that walks out hands out that money just to be doing it. And then with a lifestyle though, where you can you know, give your kids a Christmas, you know, take your family on vacation, you know a year once a year. I don't know. Nobody passed not to kind of money. So I get up early in the morning. I get at it. I was taught to get up early in the morning by my father because my father says, ain't none gonna come to you? Why are you laying now? And you know what it's just true, man, it's just little common sense. Look, old people smart man, they've been around long time. You don't get you know, some old foods out there, but you know you don't have to deal with them. But the old people are pretty smart man. They've learned a lot along the way. And waking up early and getting out of it is one of them things. And I ask everybody man to think about this scenario of your life. I just want you to just I want to show you some numbers. If a day has twenty four hours in it, and let's just say you choose to sleep eight of those hours because they tell you you need eight hours sleep, so you sleep eight hours. That's a third of your life asleep. Already, just a third of your life is spent asleep. If you're gonna do eight hours a day, you understand that a third of your life is spent asleep. Now, let's say you have a job that you work eight hours, and it's not the job of your dreams. It's not your dream career, your dream profession. It's just the one you took, like all of us, to get its stalled it and then, like all of us, some of us end up having the state there because we've created these bills and we can't because we check the check. So we can't leave it because we'll lose what what we worked for. So let's just say you got a job that you go to work too for eight hours. That's another third of your life. That's two thirds of your life spent doing something. M How do I put this to you? Oh, let's all right, like Steve, just leave it there. That's two thirds of your life. Feel how you want to feel about your two thirds? When I like sleep? Okay, cool, that's a scripture about that too. But now you spent two thirds of your life one on a job you don't care for if you're not happy there, or one that just pays the bills and it's not your dream job of career. Another third of your life is sleep. Oh now, let's hold on. Let's talk about the one hour of preparation that it may take to get to the job. Let's just say you wake up, you know, brush your teeth, show, will have a little breakfast, get dressed. Let's just say that's an hour. So now we're talking sixteen hours, eight hours sleep, eight hours on your job. That's sixteen hours you got already time one hour. That's seventeen hours. Let's say your drive time, let's say getting to your job for the average person is anywhere between thirty two an hour. That's an average of what it takes the average person. Now some people out there hustling the way harder than that, but let's just say your average is an hour getting to work. You had another hour to that going to work. You've now spent eighteen hours out of the twenty four doing something that's either nonproductive, you're not happy with, you're not pleased about. It's not your dream job, it's not your dream profession. And the rest of the time you sleep. Eighteen hours that's going to work. Now you gotta come from the job, So let's just say it's another hour to get back home. That's nineteen hours. Nineteen hour was out of a twenty four hour day. A third of it you've been asleep. A third of it. You've been on the job that you're not happy with. You took an hour to get ready to go to the job that you're not happy with. That you've just been a third of your life sleeping to get ready for. You spend an hour getting there, and you spend an hour getting back. That's nineteen hours out of twenty four hours. You now have five hours left in your day. Oh you watch TV two times, two hours a day. Okay, excuse me. Let's put now you put two hours of TV on that you've just been twenty one. You now have three hours in the day to do something super productive for the development of yourself and the future of your family, and your future as a person and what you can provide for your family. Oh, I need to chill, I need to smoke one. Oh I needed some time and happy How seemed like all I do is dry to work and go to work. I'm gonna go out with the fellas drink one. Okay, Let's say you spend two hours at happy I nobody go to a happy hour, just four hour. Let's say he's been two hours at happy Hour, all smoking, awesome video games and throw that in there. Two hours of smoking, chilling, reading the paper, video games, and that's twenty three hours of your day going. Don't you see how your day slips away from you? So why would you get up early? You get up early to get a jump, You get up early to produce, to plan, to become productive. You get up early in the morning to care about every single minute of your day. You wake up early in the morning because you have a plan, a mission, You have something you want to accomplish, So you wake up early, and you as the earlier you get up, the more time you have just for you to devote to your plan. You map it out, You make some sense, some emails, you do some Google searches, whatever it is you need to do to get your dream under way. Then you go get ready, Then you get in your car and go to work. Then you go to your job. But on your job, instead of sitting at your lunch break messing around with a bunch of people laughing and talking about nothing, playing dominoes, why don't you take that hour to do some more research, to do some more Google it, to send out some more emails. Do something. Man, with all these precious hours that God gives all of us in the course of a day, take advantage of every minute of that. No human being has more than twenty four hours a day, including myself. But if you care about every single minute of that day, you'd be amazed at how much you could get accomplished in a twenty four hour day. But you can't get none of that happening because you sleep and you're chilling and you're smoking. Okay, what has that done for you? Your family or your future? Care about every minute of your day? You're listening to ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls are people anywhere in this world? Let me tell you what's happening right now. You're tuned in to the Steve Harvard Morning Show.

Listen, man, we walk his show and they see it ain't me. Yeah, all that clapping gonna stop the gentleman your host a family fear. Well, I'm assuming who I'm assuming you're going to pass the gauntlet, you know, give him a proper introduction if you. If this does happen, Steve, you're throwing to the wolves. Oh man, I'm gonna be doing this about I probably do family feud probably eight eight more years. Oh well, Tommy, you take that off your list. Yeah? What else you get? Ye? Cratch? That? Go ahead? All right? Do we have time to get to this? Okay? Um. In a recent interview, we all know who Warren Buffett is. He's a billionaire. He said, the doubling your net worth won't make you happier, okay, he said. Warren Buffett said, I wasn't happy when I had ten thousand dollars when I got out of school. This is uh. During an interview on the CNBC, he said I was having a lot of fun. Buffetts said people often think that having more money will make them happier. Yeah. I can agree with that. Most people do think that, he says, But unhappy people will probably stay unhappy no much how, no matter how much money they have. Buffett says, if, for example, you have a hundred thousand dollars and you're an unhappy person and you think a million dollars is gonna make me happy, It's not gonna happen. It's not going to happen. So Steve, you know I have to ask you this question. How has doubling in your case, tripling, quadrupling, whatever the case, how has that changed your life? Has it made you? What? Buffett and he's in the top ten billionaires right in the world. I would have to disagree to Shaw. Yeah, what article? If he did this in an interview with CNBC. Let me let me tell you this, he made a true statement. Honestly speaking, if you're not a happy person, you're not a happy person. Money does not make you happy. I am at the happiest I've ever been right now because my life is in the most peace. But it's not because of money. It's because of my mate. Oh that's nice to say. That really is sweet to say that my life is at his happiest and most peace because of my mate. Coming up next is the nephew with run that break back. You're listening Steve Show.

Come on now, you know it's just see your Harvey radio show. That's me go home, that's how you pray. What But in the meantime, Friday said the Sunday the Nephew was in Memphis, Tennessee. Chuckles, comedy club tickets are going fast. Get yours right now. The nephew, the food, it's come to town, Bobby, Quel nephew all in the same city at the same time. You don't they don't sell red neck. What should I take? You're the one want to be mentored? Mentor what say it against Steve? What he needs help being man? That's crazy. He was helping y'all to get mentoring from me. Tommy, he's not a stranger. That's your act like a stranger. Call I love it, We gotta, we gotta go. Um you just girls know that. Okay, they're no more perfect bracket. Coming up at the top of the hour, Miss Anna is gonna be here with Today's National News and the Sweet sixteen March Madness. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, Steve, so you were saying about um, you know what what Warren Buffett said. You know, I was gonna ask you to make a statement about me, But I've changed my mind. Let me just say this, warm Buffett is correct in that money does not make you happy. If you're not a happy person, getting money not gonna make you happy. Now, I joke said that it made me a lot happier. It opened up. But what it did was I was really already a happy person. I may have been in some dark places and some dark spots in my life, but I was basically a happy person. So being a little bit more well to do has just created an opportunity to do more with the happiness. That's what it does. The real thing about money is it just takes all emergencies and turns them into me or inconveniences. It just makes your life a little bit more convenient. Well what about when you said, um, having more money just makes you more of who you are. Yeah, that's a true statement. So like, if you're an unhappy person a lot of money, you're gonna be more reasons to be unhappy. Just rich and mad, Yeah, just rich and sad. There's a lot of very rich, sad people out there, you know, who know the principles of sense, but for some reason can't pull that part of their life together for very reasons. So I've been generous. I've been overly Dreiner generous at time times. I've had to learn how of late to cut that back because people take advantage of it. I've been more than generous in my life because I'm a generous person. My father was he'll give you the shirt off his back. I got that from him. My mother always told me, she said, you just like your daddy. Your daddy do anything he can to help somebody he care about. He said, you just like him. Me. You just like him too, because you'll fight. You and your daddy just fight. Come home some night, just shirt toe off. He had changed his shirt and go back down there. So we know where you got it from you. I'm cool with that. But that's what I wanted to say. And let's talk about the NBA for a minute. I mean, not the NBA d n C double A. Let's talk. Let's we got the brackets. Has been a lot of upsets. Uh. The Sweet sixteen is in out in the West, I think out west in the South bracket. Excuse me, in the South bracket. Uh, we got Kansas State and Kentucky. I predict now Kentucky is number five in Kansas State is number uh nine, I predict Kentucky to come out of there the next one the big upset like Loola Chicago shock Tennessee, which I kind of saw that coming. I was thinking that I didn't pick them early, but I got on the bandwagon against Nevada. Now they ain't leven Nevada number seven. I think Loyola Chicago, the boys up there gonna shock. Yeah, I think they're gonna shock Nevada. To your right, Tom Xavier in Florida State. Now, I told you Florida State. I told you the team from Florida. I couldn't figure out the name of it, but here he is. Though. Yeah, but they're going to go up against Gonzaga. Now, now they're going to against Oh yeah, that's right there, against Gonzaga because they beat Xavier. That they I told you all. That's stunned man. Now, Gonzaga hard to beat because they go there every year. So I'm just in proud with Florida stick. Houston had Michigan. Man had had Michigan. Michigan beat Houston. So they against Texas A and then that's time is Old College. So automatically I pulled for me. They gave y'all Johnny Manzilla every since they gave us that quarter and we'll finished to bracket up on the East when we come back. Yeah, introduced miss and and trip Thank you very much everybody. Good morning. This is Andre for the News. Police and Austin, Texas are looking for a serial bomber, perhaps one with a racist agenda. The first three devices were package bombs left on three doorsteps, but Austin Police Chief Brian Manly says that the fourth bomb was set off by a trip wire along the side of a road in a residential neighborhood, leaving two men injury. What we have seen now is a significant change from what appeared to be three very targeted attacks to what was last night an attack that would have hit any a random victim that happened to walk by. So we've definitely seen a change. And now a package blew up they say this morning, and a FedEx outlet near San Antonio, Texas, and they say that package was being male to Austin, Texas. Chief Manly says, is the Texas field that all the explosions which have taken place in smart second are linked. President Trump played a visit to New Hampshire yesterday to host an event dealing with the nation's opioid crisis.

I have it for you the Strawberry. Thank you, nephew. Subject my husband pays for sex dis Shirley and Steve. I am forty five and my husband is forty six. We've been married for almost eighteen years and have four children. Sex between us was really good and often. My husband wanted sex any time he saw me. I thought it was borderline neurotic, but my ego and my husband made me believe it was all about me. For a few years, it was every day, but eventually I got bored with it, and kids came along and life required that I do other things. This became a point of contention for us. I tried to accommodate him as best I could, but eventually he started cheating on me, and for the most part, I forgave him. We remained together and then had our twins, but from that point forward, sex was something I did because I had to, or when I felt the urge to, but never when he wanted it, and mostly with an attitude. Recently, I've found out that he was having sexually explicit conversation Asians with women on Facebook and exchanging naked pictures of himself, even some people who were friends with me. I never expected that part, but here we are. In the past few months, he has been having a lot of difficulty paying his portion of the bills, but when I asked him about it, he couldn't explain where his money was going. Then one weekend, after he missed the payment for our kids karate and dance lessons, we had a big argument and he blurted out that he had been paying for sex. I was floored. He blamed me for not satisfying him like a wife as supposed to, and stormed out of the house. Under normal circumstances, this would be it. But here is where I am confused. In the past few years, I have become spiritual and a practicing Christian. I know I took vows to be with this man, but that was before God and Church and Christianity was really a part of my life. I loved Church, and I love God in a way that I never did before. And I want to do what is expected of me. But I can't believe that God wants me to stay with this man who has done this to our relationship. With my help, I guess anyway. I know I have to forgive him, but I don't think I can ever sleep with this man again. Do I have to stay and try to work this out. I'm at my wits end. He barely even acknowledged what he has done and still tries to sleep with me every night. I'm hurt and insulted, but I want to do what is right in a faithful way. Please help. You are married to someone really ridiculous. In my opinion, he has no priorities, no loyalties, no appreciation, no commitment to you, to the marriage, to God, to anything, to nothing. I mean, this is just stupid. You forgave him once, it beant nothing to him. He just made everything worse. Uh. That's why forgiveness is really not for the other person. It's for you, so you can move on. This is a marriage on paper only, it's not a real marriage because no husband would would, or even should ever treat their wife like this. I mean, I say, get out of this mess. I know you're struggling with being a Christian and getting a divorce. I know that's what you're saying in the last part of your letter, but I gotta tell you there are many divorce Christians who have moved on with their lives. So if you want out at this point, you know you you have to get out. I mean, you deserve to be happy, not only for yourself, but to show your kids a better life too. Steve, you know you had a husband. You're always having six every single day for damn the eighteen years? What who got dicuss? Somebody ain't working, somebody, somebody ain't doing nothing going wrong? Eighteen year, every damn day I mean, man, come on, kids came along and you got boyed because you know, when kids come along, there's other stuff you gotta do. So you tried to commodate him best I could, but eventually he started cheating on me. For the most part, I forgave. I guess he explained to you that the reason he started cheating on you was because you wasn't putting out. Though we remained together and then we had our twins. From that point on, sex was something I did because I had to or felt the urge to, or when I felt the urge to, but never when he wanted it, and mostly with the attitude. I don't won't know mad sex angry. I don't like it. It's just looks like what you're looking at me like that fun. I don't won't no mad angry sex. It's like having if if your if your sex life was a video game, it'd be angry at burg angryper. You're just flying over there, just knocking stuff over. I don't want no mad sex. Get your nails out, my damn stop like that. It's angry right here? Why you slap me that damn hot? I hate you? He baby slap me in my mom. I slap you on your ad. We're wrong. Did you finish yet? What did Theay? No, I'm not, but the hell I'm about to be forget it, Just forget it. Yeah, don't, no, don't. Nobody won't all that? All right? We'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hour you're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. Alright, come on, Steve, let's get to part two of your response to today's Strawberry letter. Let me splain to you, man pays for sex, bit your baby karate. You don't spend the baby's money though, Steve, Come on, now, I know, I know, but let me tell you what the man what if me and you ain't kicking it no more, then the baby don't need to be kicking. If me and you ain't kicking, if the baby's gonna be st you are wrong. I spent the baby karate. Here a part where to let a turk a little turn. You try to go spiritual. I become spiritual and a practicing Christian. I know it took vials to be my man, but that was before God Church and Christianity was really a part of my life. I love church. I love God in a way I never did before, and I want to do what's expecting to me. But I can't believe that God wants me to stay with this man who has done this time relationship with my help, I guess any way. I know I had to forgive him, but I don't think I can ever sleep with this man again. Do I have to stay and try to work this out? I'm at my what's in? He barely ever knowledge that he's done, and and still try to sleep with me every night. I'm hurting and sold it. But what do I do that what is right in a faithful way? Please help? First of all, let me stay, so don't drag the Lord. And because see the Lord wasn't on Facebook, The Lord wasn't spending the kids karate money, you know, the the the Lord wasn't having sex every day for a team yet, and that's that's that's let's let's stop making him the because you didn't found him. Now listen to me. Voals get taken by two people. See two people take them vials, not just you. Two people take them violed. So now as two people have got to hold up the end of the deal. Now, if he's gonna hold up his end of the deal, then it ain't no deal uphold. Now what what? Whatnot? Now? What that gotta do with you being a Christian? And now? And Charlott's correct about that. A lot of Christians get divorced. I know ministers that get divorced. If you don't pick the wrong one, you pick the wrong one. What you want to do? You wanna stay with? Go ahead? You haven't mentioned in this letter that this man a good husband because he ain't a good father. He ain't got no time. You ain't really saying nothing. The problem with this man is, ah, this man won't. It's all right, Steve, we gotta get out of here. You can email us or Instagram. That's your thoughts on today's Strawberry letter. At my girls surely switching gears? Now, Tommy, did you want to ask Steve for me? Yeah? You know you stated that you you want to make a billion dollars in the next three years. No, I think I can beat that. I think I can beat that by one year. Six Listen, Tim, and now I predict I can make a billion dollars in two years. Now. Only thing is I'm gonna need your help. Yeah. Uh, the question I got for you how getting a bill? You asked me that wrong? Now, if I got to help you get your two billion, ain't that gonna take away from me trying to get mine three? But don't be greeted like this, Well, is this a mentoring question or I don't know? This is confused? Still, okay, what do you want? I just want to know? How do I make the billion dollars in two years? That's how I don't want that's your mentoring question. I mean that's many millions, do you But we can't I can't expose that jumping up? So we know you got a minimum of one. That Ain't that a good start? So you understand what you're saying. Steve says he's gonna make three billion dollars I mean one billion dollars in three years. Okay, So you're saying you can beat his three years to make your billions if he hit me. I just want to know how you get that. That's your first mentoring question for you. Why why I go small? He always say shoot for the star. So here here's my question to you. What can you do right now that could generate ten million dollars over the next year? Oh, man, me and you? What can you do right now? You yourself generate ten million over the next I'm gonna have to link it to you though, No, no, no, listen to me. You cannot link me. It's to be something because listen to me. Boy, that's the problem. People always tie their dreams and visions to somebody else, when an actuality security is only that which you can provide for yourself. What can you do yourself? So you know? And what nobody? Man? If he had to showed up, Man, if he had gave me this, it would have happened. Now, you don't need that. What can you do to produce ten million over the next year? I thought I was utilizing my resources. You wanted my resources. Man, go ahead and just tell me how you're gonna do it? Him, How are you gonna make ty? I'll tell you. I'll tell you what we do. Okay, I'm gonna. I'm gonna. I'm gonna I'm gonna. I'm gonna shoot a movie for five yeah, and I'm not I'm not paying for that. Why not? How's we're gonna get somewhere? If you had the center animal time, the question was, how can you produce ten million dollars. Now you already need my five, and that's how I can do it. But listen to me. You still don't have ten million. You didn't took my five, and ain't no guarantee this movie gonna do a damn thing. But your track record, that's just look at who stole Populard money. It closed in the same weekend where we're gonna get distribution for this movie. You then wrote, we're gonna get it just ride with me. Wow, from Papa, raised, from some of these people you got on your phone, you got talking about me? How we go? You don't have a clue how to get ten millions? Does he have a million? With Carla?

Everybody's gonna have a little deft this even a matter of fact, I'm gonna nail you to the cross. As soon as you say that to me, you can start. You can lay on the ground and lay on this wooden cross, and we're gonna start nailing your ass to it. But oh, it's since you want to be in the show. Oh, now you're fitting to be the show. Oh, and you're fitting to stay in this show a little bit longer than you want to. I'm gonna humiliate your head, that's the thing. So that was her clap back when she said, I hope you get raped by an uber driver, and that controversial clap back that she had she lost her with with Escape they Escape tour. She was supposed to be booked on the tour with Escape. You remember Candy's group from the nineties, they got back together. She was supposed to open up for that, and the group members felt that they didn't want her a part of it. But listen to me, at no point in the seventies eighties, nothing, it's rape a joke, subject, right, listen to him. Here's a deal. This is what I teach all young comics. There's two hundred and fifty don'ts in comedy. After that, you can do anything you want to. But you need to learn the two hundred and fifty don't. After you learned the two hundred and fifty don't, you can do anything. Rape is not a jokable subject. It's just not no, it's it's not a clapback. It's not a comeback for a heckla. Rape. It's too vile of a word. It shouldn't be used period. Now, if that comes out your mouth, what does that say about you? You're not a comic. Well, you know what, another thing too, the girl could have said, because you wouldn't it wasn't going good. She the girl could have said, y'all just kill yourself. Yeah, we don't know what you have that dying anyway. It could have been boy, I know you want to kill yourself right now. Yeah, And and Nini felt extra badly because you know, she's done work, you know, with domestic domestic violence and all of that, you know, so yeah, she she she really felt bad about that. First of all, comedy is nothing that you go and become. You better say that. Let me just help you all with this, being a comedian and being a stand up comedian, it's nothing you go and become. You are born into this. If you're not born into this. This is not for you. Everybody, don't use it. But you can't. You can't learn this. This ain't teachable, ain't no classes for this. This is not what she do. She can be a host and MC and actress. She can't be all you're gonna take acting lesson, you can't take commed lesson. She gotta get out of this here. Alright, she's hosting more now. I think she's on the road again the other day. Yeah, all right, coming up at the top of the hour. This story is straight out of the UK. Prince Harry, no pre nup?

Some outlets have claimed that Prince Harry's net worth it's forty million dollars or more, while Megan Markles net worth is around seven million. But the youngest son of the late Princess Diana doesn't care about his fortune when it comes to his future wife. He's determined that his marriage will be a lasting one, so there is no need for him to sign anything. A lot of people go into marriage believing that yeah yeah, no, free up, yeah no, free up.

You're listening to show coming up at the top of the hour right about four minutes after. It's Today's Strawberry Letter, but up next it's the nephew. Alright, Steve, So you were saying about um, you know what what Warren Buffett said. You know, I was gonna ask you to make a statement about me, but I changed my mind. Let me just say this, Warren Buffett is correct in that money does not make you happy. If you're not a happy person, getting money not gonna make you happy. Now, I jokingly said that it made me a lot happier. It opened up. But what it did was I was really already a happy person. I may have been in some dark places and some dog spots in my life, but I was basically a happy person. So being a little bit more well to do has just created an opportunity to do more with the happiness. That's what it does. The real thing about money is it just takes all emergencies and turns them into me or inconveniences. It just makes your life a little bit more convenient. Well what about when you said, um, having more money just makes you more of who you are. That's a true statement. So like, if you're an unhappy person a lot of money, you're gonna be more reasons to be unhappy. Just rich and mad, Yeah, just rich and sad. There's a lot of very rich sad people out there, you know, who know the principles of sess but for some reason can't pull that part of their life together for very reasons. So I've been generous. I've been overly dreiner generous at times. I've had to learn how of late to cut that back because people take advantage of it. I've been more than generous in my life because I'm a generous person. My father was he'll give you the shirt off his back. I got that from him. My mother always told me, she said, you just like your daddy. Your daddy do anything he can to help somebody he care about. He said, you just like him, and you just like him too. Because you fight, you and your daddy, just fight. Come home some night, just shirt toe off. He had changed his shirt and go back down there, so we know where you got it from. I'm cool with that. But that's what I wanted to say. And let's talk about the NBA for a minute time, I mean, not the NBA d n C double A. Let's talk. We got the brackets. There's been a lot of upsets. Uh. The Sweet sixteen is in in the South bracket. We got Kansas State and Kentucky. Kentucky is number five in Kansas State is number nine. I predict Kentucky to come out of there the big upset like Loonla Chicago shot Tennessee, which I kind of saw that coming. I was thank thinking that I didn't pick them early, but I got on the bandwagon against Nevada. Now they ain't leven. Nevada number seven. I think Loyola Chicago, the boys up there, gonna shock. Yeah, I think they're gonna shock Nevada to you, right, Tommy Xavier in Florida State. Now, I told you Florida State. I told you the team from Florida. I couldn't figure out the name of it, but here he is though. Yeah, but they're going to go up against Gonzaga. Now. Now they're going to against Oh yeah, that's right there, against Gonzaga because they beat Xavier. See that they I told you all that's stunned. Now, Gonzaga hard to beat because they go there every year. So I'm just in proud with Florida's stick. Houston had Michigan. Man had had Michigan. Michigan beat Houston. So they against Texas and that's time is old College. So automatically I pulled for me. But they gave y'all John every since they that you're listening to show. All right, we are back. This is our last break of the day. Good day this Tuesday, Steve. We're ready for your closing remarks. Today, I want to give you all something that came to me. Uh, it came to me this morning. I was been in really over the weekend. I was doing a lot of prayer for meditating over the weekend, you know, just trying to recenter myself. You know, sometimes I get a little off, you know, i'd see myself sliding off. Course, I'm forgetting to be grateful as I should. I'm I started working on some things that I want to happen so bad. I keep pouring a lot of time into it. I keep, you know, reviewing my plans and goals, and sometimes you know, your second guest stuff, and sometimes you spend a lot of time just scratching your head trying to figure out your next move. I'm sure everybody can relate to that. How you sit up in here, man, and some of your best laid plans seem to be going a ride and you just can't figure it out. Uh. I was sitting up and somebody sent me this this morning, and then it's entitled Release, And as I read it, I just want to share with you the thought that I was having when I was reading this thing called Release, and it says, Heavenly Father, I released to you the burdens that I have been carried, burdens that you never intended for me to carry. You know what I read that. It meant something to me because a lot of the stuff that's on us that we can around here, he don't even in tear for us to carry around. We're just canding around because we didn't took it upon ourselves to worry about it. We don't took it upon ourselves that this is now this albatross around our neck when God really didn't intend for that. You know, other people's problems really ain't your problems. They can bring it to you, but that don't mean it's yours. So you end up carrying around stuff that God never intended for you to carry. You know, like you hear your grandmama used to say, don't let other people put their trash in your trash care because you need all that room for your trash. But now you can't around somebody else's. Then it goes on to say, I cast all my cares upon you, all my worries, all my fears. You have told me to not be anxious about anything, but rather to bring everything to you in prayer with thankfulness. Man, I had forgotten about that, and when I read that, it reminded me that I shouldn't be anxious about these deals. I'm working on my next move, what I need to get done. Why am I tripping about that? I don't know how it's gonna turn out anyway. I'm anxious about something that I actually have no control over. So I just con said to me, Steve, just turn this over to who got all this in control? And let him have it, and be grateful for what you have. And then it says, Father, calm my relentless spirit, quiet my anxious heart, still my troubling thoughts, with the assurance that you are in control. Man, Ain't that cool? When you turned something over to God and all of a sudden you have a calmness or quiet and the stillness because you ain't got to worry about it no more. Then it says, I let go of my grip upon the things that have been I've been hanging on too. With open hands. I come to you. I release to you, and we are all that I am trying to manipulate. I release to you all that I'm trying to manipulate. So if you let go of stuff, if you let go of a lot of stuff that you're hanging on to y'all, you can go to God with open hands. If you go to God with open hands, he got something to feel now. But if you're hanging on and got a deaf grip on a whole bunch of stuff that you can't do nothing about it, and it's really meaningless, you ain't got room to receive what He got for you. So I release to you all that I am trying to manipulate. I release to you your authority, all that I am trying to control. I release to your timing all that I have been striving to make happen. Everything I've been trying to make happen. I'm gonna let you make it happen everything I've been wanting to happen at a certain time. I'm gonna let that happen in your time. You do it in your time, when it's your will. For me, it's called release. Just let it go, man, because you're tripping about stuff you really can't control. That's an amazing Then it says, I thank you for your promise to sustain me, because that's his promise to sustain you, preserve me and God all that I have entrusted to your keeping. So now when you turn it over to God and you let him have it, and you release this grip on this stuff that you have no control over, and you ask for his calmness and your quiet and you release everything to him, guess what, Now you can just trust that you didn't put it in the right hands. You got it in the best hand, So he gonna protect that now he watching over it instead of you. Watching over. Now, who would you rather hand watching over something? You are God, protect my heart and mind with your peace, the peace that passes all understanding. Father, May your will be done in my life. That was powerful to me, man. And I read that this morning, and I said, Wow, I'm gonna share that with everybody because that really helped me today. Man, that it allowed me to let go of something, to let golf stuff that I've been hanging on to, trying to make stuff happen. When there's so much stuff that's out of my control, if you just let it go, turn it over to God, and be all right with it, because he's been having you. Why would he not have this? But we grab ourselves and we want to be a part of it so much that we end up getting in the way. So I asked that this will be done in my life, in your time and in your way, however he want to do it, and whenever he want to do it, I'm cool with that. Stop being anxious for everything, y'all, step back, turn it over to God and let him do what he does. You feel me, feel you for all.
