Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know. Y'all have a sun giving them like the million bucks things, and it's to be true. Good together. Please, I don't join join me. You gotta turn you are you gotta turn to turn them out? Turn you haven't got to turn out? Then turn the water the water go. Come come on your baby dad, I show. Well, good morning everybody. You are listening to the voice, Come on now, dig me or one it only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Thank God for it all the time. Too. Well, here we go today. I want to share something with you that I'll help you because it's helped me. You know. I was telling the story once that this magazine called Rob Reporting, that that was the statue I used to see for years. I started buying Rob Reporting magazines years ago. So I just wanted to see what a fluent people did, you know, just wanted to see what people with means did, what type of investments they did, what they bought, you know, where they traveled to Rob Reports, just like, oh, it's like a big boy toy magazine. You can see what cars is out here. And I didn't have money for none of it. Just I was dreaming, though, you know, I just wanted to see. And there's a statue inside this magazine of this man who was coming out of this bronze rock. And he was completely bronze, and he was muscular, and you know, he didn't look nothing like me, but he was a man coming up out of a rock. And he had a huge hammer and a chisel in his hand. And as his body from the waist up was coming out of this huge piece of stone, you could see where it was him who had been chiseling and forming himself. So the name of the statue was self made man. And for years man I said, Man, I'm gonna get a big house one day, and I'm gonna put that statue in the backyard in the corner. That's gonna be my little spot where I go chill, because I'm a self made man. Well, after years of working at becoming somebody and having reached a degree of success, I would have nothing to do with that statue. There's nothing about that statue that appeals to me anymore. Because on my journey and in my quest to become what I thought would be this self made man, why I could put this statue and had a statue in the corner be kind of cold, symbolizing it. I had made it. I realized on my journey there's no such thing as a self made man. That we all need help, and that God places people in our paths along the way that benefit us oftentimes. And it's the most unlikely person oftentimes, and it's the most unlikely way that He presents these people in front of you. It's crazy how he does it. Man. And so this is a statue now that I look at and I go, I see what the creator was saying. And that's cool, but not not for me, because I needed help. And I've learned a lot of things like this along the way. And the part I wanted to share with you all about this is you've got to develop You've got to develop a sense of purpose. You have to develop a sense of purpose that's different. See, your purpose is created for you by God because when He created you as an individual from whatever two parents you may have, that's not important here. When he created you, he had something in mind for you, and it was a purpose. God has not created a single soul to become a criminal. God has never created a single soul to be a drug dealer. This came about through some decisions we made as sinners, and we stayed in that place. But see what he created us. He has a wonderful idea for us. But God gives us human beings this thing called choice, and we have the power to decide. So you can decide if you're going to adhere to the purpose that God created you and made you for, or you can go ahead and make some choices on your own. So like, if God wanted to give your life and give it to come to you and give you life more abundantly, and that's his promise if you come to him, if you choose him, then cool. But if you say, well this ain't moving along fast enough, I'm gonna get my own life of abundance, I'm gonna start slinging. Well, guess what now, Tad. You've made a decision. And see God's decisions and choices. The one thing I learned about him, God's decisions, choices, his voice, It has no sin in it. Ain't it amazing how many people and came up to you and say, the Lord wanted me to do this to you, and I'm doing it. That God is punishing you and I'm doing this to you because God gonna see that you get your day. Who was this person? Who is this person that God all of a sudden gave this authority and power to God? I didn't get at the nobody, Man, nobody, this person don't had a right to hold you to your past, the right to make you pay. So who makes them pay when they make mistakes? Because they all make them. So when I say you have to have a sense of you have to develop a strong sense of purpose. That means you have to strongly get in touch with your creator to find out what the purpose you were created for. See, it's two things that I had to learn along the way. My career was what I was paid for. My calling is what I was made for. See, it's two different things, folks. It took me a long time to learn it. Some people think that they calling is to be a performer. Well, that's what you paid for, and a big part of your life is your performance is tied directly to your gift. But what you made for, though, what you made for is to bring about some significant change in another human being's lives because we are all linked together in this chain. That's what you are here. For everybody has a purpose to do something wonderful, meaningful, or impactful for another person. You think the guy that invented the airplane was merely inventing the airplane so he could fly. No, his purpose was to become an inventor, to come up with this invention so he could fly and we all fly. See. Sometimes God will make you successful so you can become successful, so you can turn around and teach other people how to become successful. God save people, so you can turn around it tell other people how wonderful it is to be saved. You see how this thing work. That's what we have to do as people. And it's nothing that we have to go and discover. We have to go and develop it. But if you haven't discovered your purpose, it's simply because here's it. If you haven't discovered your purpose is simply because you have not contacted the creator and maker of your soul to ask and find out why you were created. It's as simple as that. If you buy a toyota, there's an owner's manual on the inside that will tell you everything you know how to best operate your toyota, how to make it work, how what to do They got a troubleshooting section. Your faith is the same thing as an owner's manual in your car. Open up that bulk man. Find out how to jumpstart your life, how to troubleshoot it and get on with your life, and find out your purpose and develop a strong sense of purpose. All right, Okay, you're listening to show.

He had food delivered to my house and we had dinner together through zoom. It was a great date until he facetimed me later and I asked to see his place. I was mortified. His studio apartment is tiny and raggedy. His dinner table was a card table, and his bed doesn't have a headboard. There's no way I could see him again. But I want to make sure I'm not being irrational. He is thirty eight years old, so shouldn't he know better? Well, yeah, he knows better. Two things. He don't have a woman, and that's probably why he ain't got no woman. So you in a bit of a quandary because you could be the missing peace to him. But are you in the mood for a project? That's the question now, I don't you know. Look, I've been down and out before, so I'm the last person to press about it. But it's been a long time since I ain't had headboard money. It's been a wild I'm gonna get a damn headboard. I don't know what it is, but just laying down on that mattress up against that wall, it ain't the same as a bed, and just look incomplete. Because when you pull a fall down behind that, damn it it's gone. It's gone. That looks. Don't nobody want to lay on your ragged ass homemade headboard. Shot.

Clo Samuel and Clearwater, Florida, says, I'm fifty seven years old and I'm married to a fifty six year old beautiful woman, and our sex life is amazing. We've been married for three years, and from the beginning of our marriage, she has slept in the master bedroom and I sleep in a guest room across the hall. When I moved into her home, I thought it was a temporary thing. But I'm still getting up after sex and going to my own room. She doesn't want to sleep with me. What should I do? If the sex is amazing, you got to get home. You ain't no head to go home before. It's always about him.

I got tired of his lot and I called his ex wife and asked why she really divorced him. She divorced him because he had an outside child on her, and she found out when he didn't pay child support and got arrested. His legal document to go to a po box so I won't find out about the child or the money. Do I give him a chance to tell the truth or should I file for divorce? Well, he didn't kept his child or secret. Now if you want to be the other ex wife, then file for divorce. I mean, I don't know why the dude won't come clean about the child. She's tired of his life. You're pining child support? He ever got no money because she obviously getting a big chunk of the check. Then taxes, taxes and child support and you got a regular job and cutting in pretty thick now, So I don't know what to tell you. Give him a chance to come clean. I want to ask your question, if he comes clean, what changes for you? Still ain't gonna had no money, and that's what you seem to be mad about. And he still didn't tell you, And you can wait for him to come clean all you won't. He ain't just like the X found out you found out? Wow? Right? All right? Jay? Did you have a question? You usually?

That's for you, Jay always, all right, lady, and gentlemen, it is time for the Strawberry Letter with my good friends Shirley Strong theory. All right, thank you, thank you, thank you, junior. Subject this subject right here. I'm m f and tired. Okay, I love it. Steve loves it too. You know that, all right, Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a thirty two year old single mother with one child, and I'm pregnant with my second child. I'm pregnant by my best friend who happens to be married. We've been friends with benefits for almost ten years, and his wife thinks we're just best friends, so she's accepted me as part of the family. She's aware that I'm pregnant, but since my ex boyfriend's baby, I've told her husband that it's time for us to stop messing around and be serious now because we have a baby on the way. I told him that he needs to tell his wife before the baby is born. I want my child to know his father and have a relationship with his father's two kids. When we found out I was pregnant, he panicked and asked me to terminate the pregnancy. I refused to do that, and when we found out it's a boy, he was overjoyed. The problem is every time he's about to tell his wife, some life changing event happens with her. The first time he tried to tell her, she had a minor car wreck and had to wear a neck brace for a month. He said that he didn't want to tell her while she was in pain. Three weeks after that, she got COVID nineteen and spent a couple of days in a hospital, so he didn't tell her. Then fast forward to last week, he was supposed to tell her, and he said she passed out at work and the doctor said she may have had a stroke. Listen, I don't want to kill the woman by telling her about our baby on the way, but I'm mfans tired of all her problems. He could be lying to stall me out, so I'm tempted to call her myself, Steven Shirley. Is he full of bs? Or what? What you're not gonna do is put our name in your mess? Is hateful of bs? You're the one that's full of bs. This is craziness right here. This is a mess. Mess on top of a mess. You've gotten yourself into A young lady, thirty two year old single mother with one child and pregnant with another. You know what do you think Steve and I can do for you? I can tell you right now, we can't do anything for you because the damage is already done. You are determined to tell this wife no matter what, knowing and even not caring that this is going to hurt her and of course break up his family. You're wrong, You are wrong. You've been the side chick slash best friend for ten years now, and you think you're owed something because of that, Because now all of a sudden you're pregnant. You're you're not owed anything. But I tell you who is owed something. The baby is owed something, not you. You knew what you were getting into when you got into this ten years ago. He is married, okay, with a whole wife. He hasn't left her in all these ten years that you guys have been together. Have you ever asked yourself why? I'll tell you because he didn't want to, He didn't want to lead, he didn't want to be with you. Okay. He liked the arrangement just like it was. He had his cake and he ate it too. Okay. Now here's a baby, you know that's got to He's got to do right by. So his wife is going to find out anyway. She's going to find out whether he was lying about all the stuff that happened to her. His wife is going to find out, get your child support, and please leave this family alone. Oldin' nothing, You're you're messing the upright here? Is he full of be us or not? You're m f and tired? Come on, really, Steve, Wow, so much to unpack in this letter. First of all, I want to thank you for the title. It means a great deal to me. I love it, appreciate you. It just warms my heart to have somebody say that I it ain't a mom for my life go by. I'm gonna say that. At least once a month you say this yeah, and this is my favorite phrase. At least twelve times a year. I get that, well, I said, I know, I said at least twelve times a year, probably more. Just thirty two year old single woman got one child and it's pregnant with her second child. But she's pregnant by her best friend who happens to be married. We've been friends with benefits for almost ten years. His wife thinks that we're just best friend, so she's accepted me as part of the family. Well, ain't this wonderful? Guess what, y'all the family fitting to have a baby. Oh, she's accepted you as family, which means for ten years you've been up in this woman's face front like y'all friends, right, like y'all all right, Yeah, I'm surprised she ain't detected this. Most women can detect this, you know it. I can promise you it has crossed her mind. She hadn't seen something because when the news come out, I promise you, the first thing she said, I knew someone's going on. I promise you she gonna say that, because there's no way you can be up around a man this much as you claim. Y'all up, and she didn't accept you as family, and she ain't thought y'all was messing around, right, this is dangerous territory. You in, young lady, and you don't got yourself in a mess. But you're mad at everybody in the letter. But you're accept yourself and we come back. I'm gonna deal with it. I'm gonna show you what's wrong with you now, because you can't do this right here. You said I'm pregnant, but I think it's my export. She thinks I'm pregnant, but she thinks my ex boyfriend baby. Here the line. I've told her husband it's time for us to stop messing around and be serious now because we got a baby on the way. What the hell did that mean? Yes, it's time for yourself be serious now, stop messing what? Allright? Hold on, Steve, hold on, it'll have her two of your response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour, Steve Savoring subject, he says it a lot. You heard it. I'm M F and tired. Won't be right back. You're listening Harvey Morning Show. All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry Letters. Subject I'm M F and tired. I bet you is thirty two year old woman, got one child. She's pregnant with her second by her best friend, who happens to be a married man. They've been friends with benefits for ten years now, and the man's wife think that they're just best friends, so she's accepted me as part of the family. This is cute because what that means now the family fitting to have a baby, but the wife thinks that it's her ex boyfriend's baby. Here's the line. I've told her husband it's time for us to stop messing around and be serious now because we have a baby on the way. Oh oh, so you think, you think now since you're pregnant, now you'll find out later on he already got two kids with this woman, you think, because now can't you pregnant? You think now you got debs. So now it's time for us to stop messing around, to get serious now because we have a baby on the way. So now you think, now you got some deals. So now you told him that he needs to tell his wife for the baby borne. And I know you want the wife to know that you're pregnant by him because you think he gonna leave her for you. Yes, biggest mistake you can make. I told you men don't do promotions. That is, no man who had a number two that caused him to lose his number one and then he made the number two number one. Ain't nobody fitting to do that. I don't know no man who has ever had a number two that caused him to lose his number one and then made the number two the new number one. I ain't never seen. I could be wrong, but I ain't never seen it, Pitt, Brad Pitt. Now, whoever wrote this letter ain't white or rich. You know, y'all question anyway? Tell his wife before the baby boy. I want my child to know his father and had relationship with his father's two kids. Oh so you really think y'all just a little family him, You think y'all just fitna be just all? Okay, he already got two kids. I want my kids and know you delusional. When we found out it was pregnant, he panic and asked me determinated pregnancy. I refused to do so. When we found out it was a boy, he was overjoyed. Problem is, every time he's about to tell his wife, some life changing event happens with her. Okay, so let's go over this. First time he tried to tell her, she had a minor car wreck, had to wear neck brace for a month. He said he didn't want to tell her while she was in pain. Three weeks later, she got COVID nineteen spent a couple of days in the hospital, so he didn't want to tell it. In fast forward, last week he's supposed to tell him. He says she passed out at work and the doctor says she may have had a mile stroke. Ain't no, might have had no damn mile stroke. Listen to me, all of this happened just because he got ready to tell her. What do you think gonna happen when he do tell her? Damn the correct damn the trip to the hospital with COVID and the halway with this stroke, if that's what happened when he fitting to tell her? What you think gonna happen? When he tells this crazy ass woman that you've been in her face for ten years over the day house to play with the kids and laughing and talking, and you've been screwing her husband. Who what do you think it's gonna happen? When this woman replay all the moments in her mind about how she kind of thought this, but you tricked and deceived her, and how fools she been made out of, and now you pregnant with his baby. Girl, girl, girl, your ass is in a world of trouble. So I guess you is can tie, that is, but he ain't kneels and tied as this wifeing to beat or your ass. Yeah, That's what I'm talking about. And let's poor a little baby there. Now, get these bleeps right. I know we got that eight second delay on this show, so there's plenty of time to bleep because the fine for what I just said. Man, that's down making me time. God's that? No bore, that's it. But it's the letter call up and this is I've been waiting on this type of letter for twenty years. We've been doing this show since two thousand and five. It's sixteen years and Steve harm on the show and we're just not getting it. Man, Thank you. Man. I don't want to kill the woman by telling her about our baby on the way, but I'm tired of all her problems. He could be lying to stall me out, so I'm tempted to call her myself if he full of BS or what Shirley said it best, the person is full of b s in this letter? Is you? You're tricking with this married man in front of this woman for ten years now you think he'd bssing you when you've been BS and everybody, Girl, you're about to get what you deserve because I got news for you when you tell this sister what you've been doing with her man for ten years.

Thank you, guys, Thank you guys very much. Yeah, you can take it away. Hey, you know my closing remarks today, I want to do something inspirational for everybody. I want to remind you all that you have an opportunity in front of you every day that you wake up to pursue a vision or dream. I want you to start thinking about every day as a precious gift, because so many times people put off what they could do today, They put it off for tomorrow. You know, people call it procrastination, but what it is, it's just a simple act of you actually think that it's okay to just let another day go by, and it's not. You've got to really show an appreciation for these blessings that you have. Of waking up every day. Every day you wake up, you should spend every day marching, walking, crawling, stepping, pulling yourself along or inching your way to one of your goals, one of your visions, one of your aspirations every day. And look, success don't always come in giant leaps and bounds. Sometimes it's just increments. Sometimes success is just I made it through today. Sometimes you don't always see forward progress. But because you don't see forward progress in pursuit of your dreams, aspirations, or goals, it don't mean you're not nearing them. Sometimes you have things that you have to deal with, you have to grapple with, you have to cope with. Sometimes you have obstacles that's just in the way that cause you to have to take a detour or pull over into the rest area. But the objective for you is as soon as you get your rest, as soon as you overcome the detour, as soon as you get back up. When you get knocked down, immediately start back on the road, because that's what it is to be successful. Success is for the people and given to the people who never give up. Look, success is hard. I'm gonna just be real with you. It is extremely difficult. But it is the pursuit that gets you to be successful, not the perfection. Your life ain't judged on your perfection, because if it was judged on your perfection, none of us will get anywhere. Our life is judged on our persistence. It is your willingness to keep getting up, your willingness to keep believing, your willingness to keep praying, keep pushing. And I say push because pushed, to me is an acronym and a guy thought this to me sometime and going always look look at it. Always say to myself, push, Steve Harvey, just push. But when I say I'm pushing, push is an acronym. Push stands for prey until something happens. And a lot of times I push when I have no idea, when nothing is going to happen, or I don't have any idea what's going to happen. But if I know, if I push, if I pray until something happens, something good always happens. Now. It may not happen in the day or time frame that I set aside, but something always happens. I always is knowing I've said this several times on this show that no matter what happens to me, I'm gonna come out on the other side, as have you. You cannot think of one single thing that you've gone through that you haven't managed to get on the other side. Every bad day you felt you wasn't gonna make it through, every time you didn't have an answer, every time you didn't know what to do, every time you thought you just didn't see no way out. Do you know that you've overcome all of those. So the fact of the matter is, like I always say, your track record for surviving bad days and insurmountable odds is one hundred percent. That God you served one hundred percent delivers you every single time because you still here. Keep pushing, everybody, pray until something happens. Push, don't ever give up. The race isn't given to the swift, but to him that endure to the end. Just keep pushing, y'all. Have a great weekend. Monday is Ladies Day on the radio.
