Y'all back a suit, looking back to back down, giving them just like theming bu bus things and it's not me true good Steve to mother for st joy. You gotta use that turn out. You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn got to turn out the turnout. Turn the water, the water. Come, come on your back, I share will Good morning everybody. You. I listened to the voice. Come on dig me now running only. Steve Harvey got a radio show. Yeah, man, Steve Harvey got a radio show. Trying to do something with it too, man. Uh you know, um, I was having a conversation the other day with a young person and they were telling me how they felt that their life was stuck, that their life was in a rut, that they didn't know what to do next. And one of the things that was causing them this sadness or this depression. I mean, they really really into something right now. One of the things that was causing it was the fact that they had made a list of things they wanted to accomplish by a certain age, and that age they just had a birthday recently, and they were looking at the list, and the list hadn't been fulfilled, and because that list hadn't been fulfilled, they were really really sad about it, you know. Um one of the things that they had on the list was marriage, kids, and I don't know everything else that was on the list, but that was one of them. And because she had reached a certain age and she wasn't married, and she didn't have the kids, and she had just celebrated her birthday, she's gone into this mode of sadness whereas really really taking a toll on her and us. As I was learning about her situation, I was thinking about it, and I just wanted to share this with you all this morning that one of the things about making a list about what you want, which I happen to be a proponent of, I do it myself. I have people have dream boards, I have a gold sheet I have. I've been doing it for years. It's a It's a wonderful way to set goals and to keep it in front of you as a constant reminder. And I always go over this goal list every day, you know. I mean I go of it all the time, every day. Sometimes I miss a day here and there, but mostly every day, I pulled my gold sheet out and I look at it, I read it. So I was going to these rallies and I was learning about, you know, people who were successful in how they kept their mind writing positive. And one of the things I learned was to make these dream boards, these lists, these gold sheets. And in making a gold sheet, and you make the sheet according to what you want, think about one thing when you made your gold sheet, about what you want it? Does your goal sheet have on it what God wants from you? Did you ask in any of this what was His will in your life? You know? Look, man, what we want oftentimes is not what He wants for us. And you know, if you're fighting against what you were created for, if you're fighting against his will, I mean, what do you want to happen? See? Don't be so hard on yourself when you look at your goal sheet and you look at what you've not become what you thought was a great idea. Don't be so hard on yourself because you just made a minded mistake. As do most people, we oftentimes make our goals and set our goals up without ever considering what is it that God wants from us. We keep talking about what we want without ever finding out and knowing what it is God wants for us. Well, guess what, man, Maybe you're fighting against the grain. Maybe you're just a salmon heading upstream. That's a tough fight upstream. Not all salmons get up to the spawning grounds, you know. Some of them don't make it upstream, you know. But all of them, nearly all of them, except the ones that's killed by prey. When they're spawned, they go out to the ocean. That's cool, because you're going because you're going with the grain. You're going downstream. You're going with the flow. That's but when it's time to go against the grain, it's tough. And a lot of us have just been going against the grain for all of these years. But you know what, listen, man, I did it. I know a lot of people who did it. Very few people get it right from the very beginning. Man, you got to stumble through life sometimes sometimes you got to fall through life. You gotta make a lot of mistakes, man, But these mistakes are not failures. You know, when you fail at something, don't look at it as a failure. Don't look at yourself as a failure, because you're thirty and your goals ain't reach that you had on your list. That was your list. What about the things that's going right. Stop looking at what you're not, take some time out and thank God for what you are. How about the fact that you keep waking up to be thirty. You know you get depressed about these birthdays. You really want to throw yourself in some depression. Miss a birthday, You really got a problem. Now look at where you are. You keep reaching birthdays. That's a glorious blessing. You keep waking up. You got your health, You've accomplished something. Something on your list is done. People spend too much time on the negative side, and you're just throwing yourself into depression. So what you want to be married by a certain age and you want it to have kids? Okay, cool, You could have done all that with the wrong person. There's a blessing in not being married to the wrong person. There's a blessing in not having kids and nobody to help you raise it. There's a blessing in that man. You're talking to somebody who can tell it to you. You can marry the wrong person if you want to. I'm telling you you're gonna be up in some mess you can't count on. So instead of being angry because you're not married, you don't have kids, why don't you thank God demand Maybe he spared you from some misery here. Maybe you could have married the wrong person. Maybe you have kids and you're not really ready to be a mother or a father. You gotta look at the upside, man, Quit looking at what you don't have. Take some time to thank God for what you do have. When you do that, you make more room for blessings to flow into your life. I'm not saying how God thinks, because I really don't know, but I'm telling you, if a person comes to me and always give a person something and they never appear grateful, or they never say thank you, please, no, you can quit coming to me now. I don't know that's how God works, because I've gone back to him several times without being grateful of thanking him, and he's feeling my basket up again. So I really think he's not like that. But I can't make the call for sure. But I think at one point in time, me, just just me talking, i'd be a little ticked off at somebody who was always taking, taking, taking, and never showing any gratitude. At one point in time, I would just stop the flow of the take you know, you just you can't take no more from me. That's what I would. Now. I'm not calling it like that because I ain't him, but I know he's merciful, He's full of goodness and here and there, and he'll forgive you. And thank God he does that because he's shown enough done it for me. But wow, man, take some time out today and be grateful for what you have. Stop complaining about where you're not, and think about where you are, and then take it from there. And then next time you make a list, make sure on that list you have God's will. What does he want for you? Does God create give everybody a gift and a talent? Some of us never apply gifts and talents. We head off in another direction. Then you wonder why your life ain't where its supposed to be. Have you ever thought about what God gifted you to do? Have you ever thought about doing that? And stip skip what you want. I wanted to play in the NBA, but I gotta tell you something. At dribbling and shooting and running all at one time, throwing me off a little bit. You know it's so I'm doing what I do. It's pretty cool. You can look at it that way. Okay, you're listening show, ladies and gentlemen. What you're about to hear is unique.

Anonymous writes, I'm engaged to a beautiful woman that I've known for most of my life. This will be a second marriage for the both of us, and we reconnected after we both got divorced. I'm fifty seven, she's fifty six, and she's old fashioned. She wants to wait until we are married to have sex, and I don't want to make that mistake. I haven't even seen her in her underwear. I would hate to marry a woman that isn't on my level sexually. Should I press the issue? Oh? Man, full court press. We got to see. But then one thing about it, man, women control the situation. If they don't let you, you can't do nothing. So you know that's it. I mean, you can press the issue, but if that's her wish, bro, it's nothing you can do about it. And let me tell you something. Pressing the issue and forcing the issues two different things. True we're talking about. You can have a conversation about it if you choose to. You know, you can try to use conversation. But that's all you can do. That's all you can do. A matter of fact, No honor her wishes. Just go somewhere in honor her damn wishes. And you don't want it, just go somewhere else. Plenty of women out here ain't got that rule. They don't even do the ninety day rule. Sometime, find you somebody else. Leave that good little lady alone. She's they're engaged. Though they're engaged. Somebody asked somebody to marry, you know, engage your beautiful woman. Can I get a picture or something? Can I least get a picture? Can I see? Can he ask somebody she's been with? Can he ask me like her ex husband? Yeah? We need a referral and we need something. Yeah, y not a reference. Moving on, LaToya and Baltimore says, I'm twenty seven and my boyfriend's twenty five, and he's so inconsiderate. He drives me crazy. It drives me crazy. We just got a place together, and his mother came over to see her rental house, and she brought my boyfriend's ex girlfriend with her. He welcomed them in and I went to my bedroom after I barely spoke to them. Even though his ex is married now, I don't think it's appropriate for him to allow her into our home. He called me immature and rude. Was I being rude? Hell? No? And I think it's mama out of line. Yeah, don't brain. This dude's ex over the house with his current woman living there. His mama rude, he's stupid? Yeah, dog, immature? What to her? Immature? Man with your mama? I was disrespectful. She can't say anything that's disrespectful on so many levels. How would your mama like it? Right if somebody bought her husband's ex over to her house. Yeah, it doesn't matter if she's married now, so what. I don't give a damn what she is? Yeah? Room on every level? Man? All right? Um? Joanne and Tennessee says, I think my husband is interested in a lady at our church. I had choir practice Saturday and he's on the cleanup committee, so we rode together. When I got out of practice, he was nowhere to be found. I went back into the church to look for him, and I called his cell phone. He answered it and said he was outside. He didn't know. I could see him getting out of a car with a woman that is fairly new at church. I told him what I saw with my own eyes, and he denied it. Should I have a talk with this woman? I don't know what you're talking with the woman for she saw you, dude. And then secondly he said, he didn't get out the car. You're proud of it. There is a boy, boy. You got to stick with that. As you know, it wasn't me, he lying on he on the clean up committee. He getting out the car with a woman that's knew at the church. I don't know what y'all talking about. But should you talk to the woman? Hell? No, it's you. The woman ain't took no viole. You're married to your husband. That's your whole conversations with him. But if he gonna stick with his story, see what you see, what you know as your husband fit stay with that story, and you fitl to go to her to get another story. That's what it is. But his commitment to that story is so resolute, and she got to go somewhere else to get this information. That's all I knew you were proud of him. See me get that another car. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying to her. Yeah, all right, Moving on, Shara and Delaware says, my seventy two year old grandmother has a bunch of younger friends that hang out at her house. She and my granddad used to have house parties a lot when my granddad was alive, but now she does not know all of the people that hang out there. Her house smelled like weed recently, and she said the smell was from the night before. I will be very upset as she is smoking weed all of a sudden. How can I get my grandmother to be a bit more cautious. Well, you got to slow down now because your grandma might help black homa. Oh you know yeah, and the new friends could be her plug.

Singer Kelly Price is not missing and she's safe. That's at least according to her attorney, Monica Ewing, who was with Kelly and continuing to recover from COVID at an undisclosed location. Kelly reached out to copp County Police to notify law enforcement that Kelly is accounted for, and Georgia officials say Kelly Price has been listed as a missing person following last weekend's welfare check conducted at her her home. However, it appears that Kelly Price herself confirmed on her Instagram page that she is not missing, and her caption leads us to believe that she's doing all right but still battling COVID.

R Kelly's fate is now in a jury's hands after weeks of lurd testimony in a sexual misconduct trial. Meanwhile, we're all trying to figure out why did why did? R. Kelly's defense attorney Devereaux Chanck say that Robert shouldn't be convicted because he embodies to get this guy's he embodies the same values as the late doctor Martin Luther King Junior. Do I need to read that again? You put it out there, You just throw it out there. Whatever happen to say anything, You just say anything. Did he said it right? Can it quoted doctor Kings? I've been to the mountaintop speech when compared Kelly to doctor King. Somewhere I read of the I read of the freedom speech, he said. Somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Kenni went on to say that, like doctor King, R. Kelly wants the Constitution to be upheld so the government can be true to what's on paper. The panel of seven men and five women are due back in court today to continue their deliberations on racketeering and sex trafficking charges against R. Kelly. He do know that he sealed his fate with that statement. Okay? His defense attorney say, dog, you know there's people in deliberation room. Did you hear what he said? Robert is just like Kelly. I wish it is everybody on the same page for me. Can we get this alfway. I'm through deliberating. It's it's like, you know, man, it's really a sad story. Because our Kelly Man was he was musical genius. We can say that he cool, you can say it cool. I'm all that.

You were cleared before, right, you were cleared. You had an opportunity to get yourself right. You had an opportunity to stay free. You had an opportunity. See you didn't get the bullet. See God give you a warning, man, He don't just take you away. Everybody gets a warning when you start doing wrong. And if you ignore the warning shots and you keep going and you make a conscious decision to ignore all of the warning shot. He went to court before and he was acquitted, came out with that big, huge cigar, and now brother, you right back in there. You can see that right there. Man.

Dear Stephen Shirley, I've been dating a very attractive woman with a perfect body and beautiful brown skin. I met her at a gym and she asked me out, which I loved because she is not afraid to go after something if she wants it. We have been dating for a little over a month, and we finally had sex over the Labor Day holiday. I wasn't expecting the performance I got. She's very athletic and it was hard to keep up with her in the bedroom. I was given all kinds of instructions and she was very dominant. I tried to get into it, and each time I got so distracted by her demands I couldn't perform. I was intimidated. Finally, after it was over, we went on to my patio and had a glass of wine. Started analyzing the encounter and saying what could have been better and what we needed to work on. I felt like I was back in college playing football and going over the game footage and critiquing it. I found myself apologizing to her and telling her I'd do better next time. A few days later, we had a few drinks and she started to get me in the mood. She said she'd do all of the work since I was tipsy, I thought she was too, but she wasn't. I got scared. I'm a forty two year old grown man, and I've never been afraid of any woman in the bedroom, but I doubted myself with her. I remember just lying there, and it's like my spirit left my body from the thing she was doing to me. It was so unbelievable that I'm tempted to break up with her, but I'm also intrigued. I planned to be on my quote unquote a game next time, but I have no idea what she'll do. She's ten years younger than I am, so I can't continue to be afraid of her. Would I be a woos if I asked her to take it easy? Help me? Whoa she got you? Huh? Ten years younger thirty two? Well, I mean this might be the first letter of this kind, Steve, that we've ever gotten from a man that says he's afraid or intimidated by a woman's sexual prowess. I think you should just admit it, sir. You've met your match and beyond and this younger woman and you can't take it. I mean, there is a lot going on here, though, but it's like you said, you love a woman who's not afraid to go after what she want. Well, she did that, and she's still way too much for you. She's actually more of a drill sergeant, it sounds like from your letter and your description, than a sexual partner right now, and your mind is blown, and so you can't give her up. I think you should take your big ego out of it so you can ask her to take you a little slower. It's okay to do that, you know, even if she's younger and more skilled. It's okay. It's all right. You say you're intrigued, So why don't you just listen to her suggestions, you know, when you all afterwards and she tells you what she needs, listen to her, really listen to her and allow yourself to you know, just have great mind blowing sex from here on out. You shouldn't be scarred, don't be scared. Just get on into it. You'll be all right. You'll be all right, Steve. Yeah, well that ain't high this goal? Oh is here? Let me straighten you out what letter you was reading? That ain't the situation? And it just take a mind blowing sick, mind blowing sick. We got some issues in deal right here. See, Shirley, you couldn't view this letter because you're not a man wrote this letter. You can't know what he going through. Let me walk you through what happened, Dear Stephen, Shirley. I've been dating a very attractive woman with the perfect body and beautiful brown skin. Met her at the JIM. She asked me out, which I loved because she's not afraid to go after something she won't.

It was hard to keep up with her in the bedroom. I was giving all kinds of instructions and she was very dominant. Now hold on, brot me let me take you back up here. Now you just said I loved it because she is not afraid to go after something she wants. Now you down in the letter time how she was very down. I'm in it. I was giving all kinds of instructions.

And we needed to work on And I felt like I was back in college, Like I had my backpack on him, my little black and white composition note book, and she was just giving me lessons and everything. I wouldn't know what to do, but I knew not what I was doing, because you know, I felt like I was back in college playing football and going over the game footage and critiquing it.

This will be a second marriage for the both of us, and we reconnected after we both got divorced. I'm fifty seven, she's fifty six, and she's old fashioned. She wants to wait until we are married to have sex, and I don't want to make that mistake. I haven't even seen her in her underwear. I would hate to marry a woman that isn't on my level sexually. Should I press the issue? Oh? Full court press. But then one thing about it, man, women control the situation. If they don't let you, you can't do nothing. So you know that's it. I mean, you can press the issue, but if that's her wish, bro, it's nothing you can do about it. And let me tell you something. Pressing the issue and forcing the issues two different things. True, we're talking about you can have a conversation about it if you choose to. You know, you can try to use conversation, but that's all you can do. That's all you could do. Matter of fact, No honor her wishes. Just go somewhere in honor her damn wishes. And you don't want it, just go somewhere else. Plenty of women out here ain't got that rude. They don't even do the ninety day rule. Sometimes find you somebody else. Leave that good little lady alone. She's they're engaged. Though they're engaged. Somebody asked somebody to marry you, beautiful woman. I get a picture or something? Can I least get a picture? Can I see? Can he ask somebody she's been with? Can he ask me like her ex husband? Yeah? We need a referral and we need something. Yeah. Reference removing on LaToya and Baltimore says, I'm twenty seven and my boyfriend's five, and he's so inconsiderate. He drives me crazy. It drives me crazy. We just got a place together, and his mother came over to see her rental house, and she brought my boyfriend's ex girlfriend with her. He welcomed them in and I went to my bedroom after I barely spoke to them, even though his ex is married. Now, I don't think it's appropriate for him to allow her into our home. He called me immature and rude. Was I being rude? Hell no? And I think his mama out of line? Yeah, your brain, This dudes ex over the house with his current woman living there, his mama rude? He's stupid? Yeah, dog, immature? What to her? Immature mama? Mama? I was disrespectful? She can. That's disrespectful on so many levels. How would your mama like it? Right if somebody bought her husband's ex over to her house? Yeah, it doesn't matter if she's married. Now, So what coming up? It is our last break of the day, the last break of the day, in your face. We'll have some closing remarks from the one and only, our fearless leader, Steve Harvey right after this. You're listening, all right, guys? Here we are our last break of the day on this Monday. On this Monday. Wow, I'm this new week? Yeah, last week of US September this year, Thanksgiving in a minute, Halloween, yeah, then Christmas, then we started all over again. Halloween. Why they bring chuck it back? You seen Chucky? I'm still scary and Jason too. Jason's back to Yeah, Michael Mario's coming back with another movie. Yeah, Well candy Man came. All right, Steve, Okay, you know, I was thinking about something over the weekend, and I, you know, I read a lot of motivational and self help books. Not not really the whole book, I wouldn't say that, but I read quotes and go to stuff. The last time I read a motivational book, the the was the last. Well that's a long story, but I read a lot of those. But I read quotes and I listened to motivational series a lot. I think that's the best way for me to put it. And I was reading something that meant a lot of sense, and I wanted to share with everybody today because maybe you can find out where you fit into this hole equation, and if you find out that you're not where you want to be, there some things you can do to change where you are and who you associate with. And the thing I was reading was kind of quoting something like this. I'm just gonna paraphrase it because just talking right now, but it was saying something to the fact that great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about other people. And as I've thought about that, man, I said, oh my goodness, how true is this? And if you really analyze yourself, man, it can be a little shocking sometime, if you think about it, because what is the majority of your time spent doing? Are you constantly talking about ideas? Because great people talk about ideas? Are you always talking about things? A lot of things? You know, I mean, average people talk about things. It's nothing wrong with being average anoe of that. I'm not making a judgment call on it. But small people talk about other people. And that's where it gets into a little trickiness for me, because you know, man, you have to be careful who you associate yourself with. Because somebody once told me, if you take a look at your five closest friends and describe your five closest friends, once you get through, you have just described yourself. Because you know what, man, you actually get to select your friends. This is not your family we're talking about. You're just born with them, but you actually select your friends. You select who you text, who you call, who you hang out with, who you run with, who you socialize with. That's a choice. And if you could describe your top five friends, you really just described yourself. And I was just thinking about what all this quote could really mean, and to me, it just came down to great minds. They seem to love to discover new ideas, you know, while average minds they love to discover things which already happened. There's nothing wrong with that. Once again, I'm not making a judgment call, but I just try to learn for myself where I want to be in life. Great minds love to discover the new ideas, while average minds love to discover the things which already happened. And at the same time, small minds love to talk about the other people. I keep getting back to them small people, because all they do is talk about other people great great minds discuss ideas, and great minds tend to find solutions which can help prevent the problem. I've noticed that about a lot of great people, that they discuss the ideas and tend to find solutions that can help prevent problems. And then average minds, which ain't nothing wrong with it, they discuss events, and average minds have a tendency to find the problems without looking for the solution. That's the difference. But then when you get down to small mind small minded people. They discuss people, small minded people. They have a tendency to gossip about the people are the things, all the things which aren't going to make any positive impact. Do you know how true that is about small minded people. They keep gossiping and they keep discussing things that don't have an impact, and nothing positive comes from him. Ladies and gentlemen, stop associating yourself with small minded people because it will eventually rub off. If you want to be great, form an association with great people. I'm telling you, man, if you sit around people that's always talking about small things, and you always around them, you got to jump in here. You have to participate. It's you would be rude not to. It would almost be insulting. You know, why are you here? Why are you with us? Because if you w us, you with us. And think about that, Man, I look back on my life and I look at how many times I set with small minded people and participated in it because I was in the room with them. The sooner you could disassociate yourself from small minded people, the sooner you get to move into the area of greatness. Because great minds discuss ideas average minds discuss events and small minded people just discuss whatever they're doing in a negative, negative way, in a negative slam.
