Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know, y'all all looking back to back down, giving them just like themsing bu bu things and it's not me through good Steve together, star, don't join me. You gotta use that turn you. You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn, got to turn them out to turn the water the water go. Come come on your baby, huh. I shall well a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on, dig me nw one. It only Steve Harvey got a radio show. I have something, and it so describes how I was living. It's so captures the feelings that I had about beginning on the pathway of my dreams. It so describes how I felt when I was about to attempt something. And I have some striking news for you. It describes often how I feel still today to a degree. So let me tell you what that is. Here's an analogy that I've heard a couple of different ways, but I've kind of, you know, fixed it around to where I can drink it better, and I think it fits my personality to describe it to people best this way. I've talked often about urgency of doing something with your life, of getting started today, of stopping the procrastination and putting it off, and waiting on all your ducks to line up in a row, and waiting till the stars aligned themselves. If you ain't know such a thing, you're never gonna get started. I don't know too many people who can say that all the ducks just lined up in a row. Things happen even when you get them lined up. One of the ducks get out of line, or somebody knock over the domino, or something happens. But here's the point I'm getting at. God has so many blessings available to you. You who's listening. God has so many blessings available to you from where you are right now. I don't care what you've gotten yourself into or what you've done. God has so many blessings that he can send your way. But you have to do something. See a lot of people just sit around and go man, and something always happening to you. You're always getting a break, You're always doing this. You always doing man, don't nothing come my way. Listen to me. If nothing ever comes your way. You know why that is, It's because you're not doing anything. I promise you you're not. Here's a deal. God has all these blessings he wants to send you, but you got to give him something to work with. Now, come on, God will bless you. God can touch people's hearts on your behalf. He can move situations around for you. He can align the stars. He can set the ducks up in the road. But align the stars and move people around, and touch people's hearts and set the ducks up in the road. For what have you put forth? Any effort? Have you made a single step in any direction to do the right thing or go the right way? That gives him something to put his finger on. Come on, man, God can only bless you according to your faith. If you have a little bit of faith, give him that. Let him work with that. You know, man, I didn't always start with these speeches you're hear in the morning now. I ain't always had these. I grew to these. I stumbled my way to these. I messed up my way to these. Hell, I got it wrong so many times to be able to sound like I got some sense, I said it often. Failure is a wonderful teacher. Do you know how many times I have had to have failed to have what I have in my head today. I'm telling you, man, it's a process. People getting mad at the process. You got to do something to give God something to work with. He'll bless you. But what you want me to bless If you ain't putting forth any effort, you can get blessed from whoever you are in your life. Wherever your starting point is, wherever you find yourself wound up, you can get it back from. Now. I've done it, man, by the grace of God, I've done it. I got over. Man. I learned some things along the way. Because here's a deal. As long as God keeps waking you up in the morning, he ain't through with you yet. When he's done, you're done. But if God still has a plan for you you wake up in the morning, He's still got some more work for you to do. You wake up in the morning. So if you keep waking up, man, it's something that God wants from you, would love to have from you, and he can work with you, man, if you just walk towards him a little bit. Here's a deal. I know it's hard for the average person to start because the fear of the unknown is incredible. What if I fail, what if I don't get picked? You know, one of the hardest things I ever did was walking in to quit my job. Oh man, let me tell you about that day when I decided that I was going to be a full time comedian after winning an amateur night one time, quitting your job in your dream going forward despite all the nay says, it's like stepping off a cliff. It's like actually just walking off the edge of a cliff, hoping, hoping. Now not really knowing, but hoping. Hoping is the bad basis of faith. I stepped off the cliff hoping that my parachute would open and allow me to drift down. See. I've never skydived before, but I would imagine part of the thrill. And I don't know this because I'm not going to skydive to find out. I think part of the thrill for people is the danger part of throwing yourself out a plane and how it feels to be free falling, but the whole time they're free falling, having this exhilarating, over the top moment. You have got to believe in your heart of hearts, you have got the hope with everything in you that when you pull this cord, the shoot opens or else. This ain't a good move at all. But you've packed your shoot yourself. You've taken the lessons, so you go ahead and you make the leap. Now, the only thing about quitting your job and following your dream is you ain't really been trained all that good for this. You didn't packed your shoot, but you ain't never opened it before. So I walked off this cliff, That's what it was like. And you following your dream is like you walking off a cliff. Here's the part where people don't never make the jump. They see somebody like myself who jumped off the cliff and the pass shot don't open right away, and I hit a couple of rocks on the way down. I got my back cut up pretty bad. They see that three years living in a car man, he got his life toe down jumping off that cliff. I ain't jumping off that cliff. But see, what you don't understand is you don't know it. But eventually the shoot will open, and I'm at the parachute opening part of my life, man, where a shoot then open and I'm drifting and I'm able to guide my shoote over to Paris and glide. I've I've glided over to Africa and seen what it looked like. It's a slow ride down. When the passchute finally opened, and my back then heel too, and the cuts that I had on me, I remember now I know how to stay away from the edge. But the parish chute then opened, and I'm enjoying my life for the first time. I'm gliding, but I got hit up against the rock. I can see more. I get a chance to see more things. I get to glide and see more parts of the world. I'm living my dream. Your passhute is gone open, but I'll tell you one thing for shore, It'll never open if you don't step off that cliff. You got to step off that cliff, got to get the passchute open for you. But you got the jump, baby. That's the hard part, ain't it now? Question is the end of this story right here today when you jumping. You're listening to morning show. Ladies and gentlemen, now have your undivided attention, please, I have a public service announcement to me. He back, his ass is back, that has some rest, he's been gone at him back.

PJ writes, I've been happily married for two years, but my wife is creating a major problem in our marriage. I've always been an avid golfer and my wife has always been an avid bruncher. That's what we do on Saturdays and Sundays. I go play, she goes to drink bottomless mimosas with her girls. All of a sudden, she has decided that we need more activities together, so she's taking golf lessons and looking forward to playing with me. Steve. This cannot happen, and I stopped this before she goes too far with lessons. She's gonna have to have a golfing accident. What what do you say? What you mean by that you're gonna have to take her to the golf course and when she ain't looking, get your nine nine and blast that ball in her back. I'm talking about and I'm talking about a real Stengle. You know, put put that ball forward in your stands, back in your stands, you know how to get it back, so the ball to stay low and let her hair one of them golf balls dead in her back. You have got to stop this, dog, because your golf is no fun with your wife. Oh my god, no, no, Marjorie tried that. No, no, why didn't you have fun? Take all of them damn questions? What club? Why my ball ain't in the air because you don't know how to play? Why this ball won't go that far? Because you can't play? Stop asking me about that damn ball. That ball don't go. Why I wanted to go either? You can't play, but step Golfing is supposed to be relaxing. And why she out here go and drinking bottomless mimosis with your damn girlfriend. Dog, You got to do that, Hey dog, hey dog, listen to me. You got to quit golfing. Golf listened to it. The only way this can work is when you take a golf lessen, you go to brunch and have yourself some bottomless mimosis. But you cannot be out there with her listening. Car don't do it. Maybe she should just go with her girls. Yeah, okay, here we go Cundy in Baltimore, Celo says, I've been married eighteen years and my husband and I were having sex last night and I think he called me Carolyn. He said he didn't, and I was just hearing things. I'm pretty sure it was Carolyn. And it's been bothering me because my daughter's swim coach is named Carolyn, and he's mentioned how graceful Carolyn and is in the water. I found herself number in his phone, and I need to know why he has this woman's personal number. But he'll know I was snooping. Is it okay to admit to snooping in this case? Is it okay to it? We'll see. I had a I had a life for him because when he said for him, see, well, I was gonna. I was gonna save him because when you said he said Carolyn, you know it was thinking about Christmas, and you know the was calendy. You know that's what I was gonna go with that, but then you found Carolyn in his damn phone. Yeah, and he didn't mention how graceful. Yeah, okay, Well, I don't have a lot. Maybe you know, maybe I'm just saying, you know, maybe y'all was making love. Do y'all have a water bed? I have to ask you that first days we got to do something. You know, if y'all was in the water bed and he was thanking you, you show is moving graceful, and then you know that's kind of reminded him of Carolyn. Um, I don't well, here's the deal. I thank your marriage is pretty much over point. And I don't know how you're gonna break it to him that you was in his phone snooping and um or it could be just uh yeah, come on, this could be Ah, this could be one of the most severe coincidences you ever seen. You know, this could be just merely coincidence. I said, Carolyn, And I'll be damned. That's a number right there. Um, my daughter put it in there, because there you go, you on the right track on stay right there. Yeah, you know, my daughter put the number in here because she's we know and and and we was listed as the emergency contacting see something happen to her, So that's what I was listed.

This is a trip with the news Nationally, the death toll from hurricane tropical Storm Eida stands at sixty eight so far and Louisiana. Many remain without power. That may be the situation for some time, especially in the southeastern part of the state. New Orleans Councilman J Bank says the situation is awful. There were rooms that the ceilings had caved in that obviously water had gotten into there's one we're clearly the lady. There's no way she could sleep because the ceiling dolls had fallen wet on the bed till the bed was soaking wet. President Biden personally surveyed the damage left by Hurricane I to in Louisiana last week. Today he visits New York City, especially the part of Queens, the Borough of Queens, which was really very badly hit and there are many deaths there and also in New Jersey. As of yesterday Labor Day, some nine million Americans lost their unemployment benefits now a labor day, CBS polls shows that most Americans favor a hike by the way in the minimum wage. The current federal how early rage is hourly wages seven twenty five cents, and seven out of ten Americans think that should be higher. As you would expect, support for a minimum wage hike is high among those with lower incomes and politically, eighty five percent of Democrats think the minimum should be higher. Fifty two percent of Republicans agree with that. Sixty seven percent of people making more than one hundred thousand dollars favor an increase, while seventy four percent of those making less than fifty grand feel the same way. Texas Governor Greg Abbott's approval rating as tanking ever since his state moved to restrict access to voting and emotional abortions. The Portland, Oregon City Council is scheduled to vote tomorrow on a proposal of the band doing any business with the state of Texas because of its recently passed anti abortion law. Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler wants to ban any state employee business travel as well. Texas not only banns abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, but also allows and basically rewards any citizen to sue anybody who they receive, or fee or perceive of has helped a woman receive an abortion. Finally, sad and shocking news as you heard moments ago, actor Michael Kenneth Williams dead at age fifty four. Officials are calling his passing the result of an overdose or they think of a fentonel laced heroin. Williams a brilliant actor best known for his parts in several movies in Boardwalk, Empire, Who's a five time Emmy nominee. He was most recently nominated for his work at Lovecraft Country and he played Oh myar Little on the Wire and he was scary. Michael Kay Williams found dead in his Brooklyn apartment. Now back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to show. In trending headlines, President Biden says he'll defend women's right to choose after the Supreme Court failed to strike down a Texas abortion law that makes the procedure illegal six weeks after pregnancy. The President said in a statement, this extreme Texas law blatantly violates the constitutional right established under row versus Wade and upheld as president for nearly half a century. The President added that his administration will protect and defend the law established with Rowley Wade, but it's not exactly clear what Biden will or can do in the future. Supporters of abortion rights are seeking a more defined strategy to counter the High courts in action to the Texas laws. While enough, I would have to vote Texas Yeaheriously, seriously, you know, I don't understand. You know, I did see a little bit of this while I was awake. I don't understand this. In Texas. They you can do whatever you want to do with your body when it comes down to a mask, But then when it comes down to a woman's body, you gotta do what everybody tell you to do. You get a choice with your body with a mask, but you don't get a choice with your body with nothing else. Right, it don't make no damn sense. It don't make no damn sense. And men and men make these rules more and our body, who can't have a single right, They make the decisions for our body. But you want to protect the babies that are unborn, but the babies that are here in school, you don't want them to wear a mask protect them from a deadly virus. And you know what, man I was online looking on Instagram one day and the one of the guys from Texas who was thirty years old that was ahead of the anti mask task force in Texas, thirty years old died from COVID with two children and his wife pregnant. But his wife wore the mask because she didn't want to get sick. This guy died thirty years old from COVID. You know, I just don't understand, because you know they they're gonna start a copy of Texas. That's what they've gonna do. Go see how does go in Texas. Then we're gonna start moving this around. Maybe Florida. Florida tried to North Carolina. Yeah, we are the most hypocritical country of morality mixed with immorality that I've ever seen. We try to act like the most moral country on earth, but we're the most immoral.

Man, y'all need to take this form of Christianity, y'all got I don't want that. This ain't nothing, man, y'all. This is hypocritical ass country we live in here, man, all right? Coming up at thirty four minutes after the hour, Steve is gonna tell us more about his vacation, more stories right after this you're listening to show, all right. So, Steve, you just got back from your big vacation. You went all around the world and everything, and the fun thing about your vacations is something always happens. There's always a story. You know. I don't have event free vacations, and you know, I think what it is is I actually look for things because like, you know, yeah, I like I like stuff that people don't think it's funny, you know that that happens. And I see, So, okay, we're at the beach one day and I went went a little section of the beach off to yourself, you know. And and it's what, It wasn't crowded beach at all. It may have been maybe been fifteen people total on a big long stretch of beach. Was just wasn't nobody out there. And so all of a sudden, man heard this guy going, hey, hey, let's go. What are you doing? I don't you know? He was snarkling. And he came up and he was standing in waste deep water and a baby octopus had just wrapped itself round his knee. What a baby octopus just wrapped itself round his knee. Now that's all I needed to see. I'm not going in the damn water. I ain't even because I was thinking about going out the splashing round. So I when he walked out the water, he couldn't get the octopus off because the suction was just only and he was trying to be just a little bit baby octopus wasn't no big johant octopus, and you know, but he trying to pull it off, but he can't get it off, and so he's standing there. Huh, I know you didn't help him. Help him? Well, he was out of the water. STI. I don't want to go in the water. I don't know him or the octopus. Why am I? You don't know what this octopus mad about? When I'm not fitting doing that and I'm not gonna go get his octopus an option? Clearly, yeah, yeah, clearly he is doing what he wants to do. Yeah, And he got his little tentacles wrapped around him. So he's standing there. He's pretty calm about it, and he goes, I can't get it off. So his son sees him, and his son goes and starts pull an octopus, but nothing's worth so it goes, I gotta get this off, and nothing's working. So he gets a beer can that he had and he starts he starts hitting the octopus. Well, the octopus is soft, so it's doing nothing. If you hit too hard, you're gonna hurt your damn self, right, So the octopus is smart, so he just moving his arms two different so he was trying to hit the octopus so hard the octopus would move and he would hit itself. He was he was holid. Now I'm sitting here, man, I'm I'm the only thing I'm dreading is I didn't feel on this right, but I'm enjoying it so much because I got a peint clode in mine and it's TV. To me, It's much TV, so he says. So this then went on for about two minutes straight, and he said, I gotta get it off. So he walks back in the water and the octopus released him. And then he now, instead of just letting octopus go, he tried to you sogn them up, son, and he picked the octopus up and tried to throw it. Not the octopus to wrap round his hand. I was on that damned beach, Hollid, that octopus I got some he wrapped completely round his hand. I said, man, the octopus was off and he was floating away about to go down, and the dude grabbed it again and he wrapped around his hand. While I was in there, Holliday said video that I wasn't even it was too enjoyable. I said, man, thank you lord, man, I'm glad I saw this. Yea eventually got it off his head and took it back out there and switched it round in the water. But this time he got his ass out that water. And then here was the Here was the white moment of the day. Okay, two minutes later, three white people out there in the same place. Come on, where is the mama octopus saying? Now? Thank you?

Well, no, not exactly. I mean there's been a few. Uh. I actually spoke with the teacher who he was under in kindergarten, and it seems like he just really wasn't up to par as the rest of the children. Now, his conduct, Now, he talked, but he gets his work. So what else is she saying on that that ain't right? Well, what what's what it seems to be, ma'am is that his grades weren't up to par as the rest of the other children. She did tell me he was a disobedient child, talking two different things. Come on, Okay, well, man, listen, what we've decided here is we're gonna let a little actually do another year of kindergarten. No, y'all ain't gonna let him do another year of kindergarten. No, Sun man, that's that's the only choice I have to look. No, we got our letter in the mail with our report card the week after school starting, and it's said on the back promoted.

I'm a thirty three year old married woman and I've been with my husband for eight years, married for five. My husband just found out that my male best friend is my ex boyfriend. I also have a female best friend that I used to have threesomes with. We are all close and they loved my husband and he loved them. I was on FaceTime with my best friend the other night and he mentioned a tattoo on my lower back and said he remembered when I got it. My husband looked at me so crazy and then told my best friend he was out of line. My best friend laughed and told my husband to chill out and loosen up or he would screw his wife again. I almost fainted. What what? Yeah? You want me to go back over that line? You ain't got to go back over. We're reading this damn letter right exactly, see exactly exactly. My best friend tried to say it was a joke, but my husband cursed him out and said he'd better not see him anytime soon. My best friend said he was on his way over. Less than an hour later, my best friend showed up at our apartment ready to fight. My husband went outside and made me stay inside. My crazy ex was yelling so loud. I heard him tell my husband that he slept with me for years and we had threesomes with my female best friend. He bragged about our sexual past. My ex boyfriend slashed best friend and I had vowed to keep our past in the past, and we haven't had sex in over fifteen years. They were so loud that our neighbors came out and threatened to call the police. My ex left and my husband told me I could go with him, but of course I stayed and tried to talk some sense into my husband my best My husband said I'm a sneaky, lying woman, and he gave me an ultimatum, either my friends or my marriage. I don't think that's fair. Why is it such a big deal that I'm still friends with two people I've had sex with? Please help? Are you kidding me right now? It's a big deal because this happened, Okay, because your stupid ex boyfriend did this, and your husband should have whipped his behind. Seriously, he came over there asking for it anyway. That com he made to your husband about screwing you and all of that was so completely out of line and disrespectful. He obviously has a problem with you, your marriage, and especially your husband. He's jealous, he's a hater. He's trying to sabotage everything. He knew exactly what he was doing with all that loud yelling outside and around the neighbors and stuff. But you're the problem because you don't see what your husband is talking about. You don't see that it is such a big deal, and you don't think it's fair that you can't see your friends again. Come on, you need to cancel him, You need to cancel her. Stick with your husband been Those aren't your friends. He broke the code, he broke the trust. All of that, you guys agreed not to tell. And your husband doesn't care if it was fifteen years ago, a fifteen minutes ago. All right, This dude was out of line. He probably suspected something your husband all along. Anyway, some things, you know, these secrets people should take to their grave, and you should be glad his sorry butt is out of your life, all right, Steve, Thank you, Thank welcome, Thank you, Sherley.

What you laughed, oh doc? Or you didn't got comfortable? Then? The lady said, I almost fainted. My best friend tried to say it was a joke. Oudn't told your asked lady quick calling him your best friend? This isn't the problem already you keep referring to this man as your damn best friend. And he tried to say it was a joke, but my husband cuts him out and said he'd better not see him anytime soon. My best friend, here she go again, this health for right here? She ain't learning why she keep calling this fool hub. My best friend said he was on his way over. They ain't a man living gonna tell me to shut up and chill out, or you're gonna screw my wife again, and then I promise you ask whipping, and then you saying you on your way over. You're not gonna believe what's happened when you get him. You're not even gonna leave this. The level of ass whipping, the intensity of it. You brother, let me explain something to you. You're not only driving over here for this ass whipping. You are about to be in a near death situation. Very close. Okay, He on his way over. Less than an hour later, my male best friend showed up at our apartment ready to fight. Wait a minute, excuse me? Ready to fight for? What? What does he have to fight for? See, lady, you're leaving something out in this letter because if your ex boyfriend your husband tells him, I bet not see you soon. He says, I'm coming over there, and thirty minutes later he drive over to you and your husband's house, ready to fight. My question becomes ready to fight for? What? Ain't nobody fighting over? No fifteen year old booty call? This is something currently happening? Or drive over here? Whoop you over something that happened fifteen years ago? Are you crazy? Well? Anyway, when he got over there, this letter is the rest of this letter. If I was in this letter is totally different. I don't even why we're still writing. All the rest of this is just a police report, so I don't even know what how you still typing? You got a pin here? And who drove over my house? My husband went outside and made me stay inside. My crazy X was yelling so loud. I heard him tell my husband he slept with me for years and we had threesomes with my female best friend. He bragged about our sexual past. Wait a minute, how he had time to say all this? Yeah, say Jenson, what's what you mean? I heard him yelling, and he said, no, when you drove over hill right that ass whooping, I promised you it commisses soon as you get out to call, matter of fact, the ass women starting before you get out the car. Dog, I'm bossing your wonder. I don't even understand this here man, this lady right here, and then for years and we had three soomes with my female best friend. He bragged about our sexual pass my ex boyfriend and I vowed again Again here you go, you keep calling this man your ex boy friend. You stupid, You so damned stupid. That's why you ain't goin to have no husband because you keep putting value on this dude. Right here, my ex best friend and I vowed to keep our pass in the past and we haven't had sex and over fifteen years. I'm finding that hard to believe, because ain't nobody drove over your house over some sex that's fifteen years old. Not no black dude, I don't know, no white dude do that. I don't know no dude do that. They were so loud that I neighbors came out and threatened to call the police. Loud most asked. Womens I've been involved in have been very quiet. You know, it's occasional grunting and stuff. But all this loud talking. They're out there agging. I don't even know what. They're out there arguing about my ex. Now here we go. My ex left left. How alive your ex left? This is just part of this letter. I'm not understand. Let me read this to you again. My ex left left. I part two for this letter. When we come. Oh, I have more for this right here, I'm stuck. They aging my husband. My ex left left three in a car. Coming up, we'll have part three of today's struggle to drive away. Steve Harvey is back my best friend on his own car. We'll be back right after this. You're listening, all right, Come on, Steve. Part three of today's Strawberry Letter. The subject is my best friends are my exes? I showed hope y'all been with me on this letter. Right here, this thirty three year old woman got this ex boyfriend that's her best friend, and her husband didn't know it, and today was talking on the phone on the FaceTime, which should have never happened. And then he mentioned the tattoo on her back and he remember when he got it. The husband said, hey, man, you out of line. Best friend laugh told her husband chill out, loosing up, I'm gonna screw your wife again. The lady almost faigned, and then she said, my best friend tried to say it was a joke from husband. Custom Mount said he bet, and I've seen no time soon. Then the best friend said he was on his way over. Less than a half hour later, the male best friend showed up at our apartment, Betty to fight. Because see, once you drive over to the house, Betty to fight, then the fight gonna happen. But now your heals would went outside made you stay inside. My crazy ex was yelling so loud. I heard him tell my husband he snapped with me for years, you might have heard him say, and I slept. That's but that's all you face, all this to how long and all that old? And we had a three soon with your girlfriends and I saw the tattoo. Ain't none of that coming out, because see, it's just this too much argon right now. And then my ex best friend and I vowed to keep our pass in the past, and we haven't had sex in over fifteen years. I found that hard to believe, because ain't no dude driving over your house after to face a husband that threatened to do something to you about his wife. Well, you're gonna get in your car and come over to my house, bro, this is your last time. Now they out there arguin. The neighbors want to call the police. And then my ex left left. How how I'm confused? He left on his own car, He left on a gunning He left in the corner back of the corner's car. Hockey league not be meaning that he got back in his car and my husband told me I could go with him. Of course, I stayed in to talk some sinsing in my hus I can't even believe it. I'm finn cry. But of course I stayed talk since my husband. My husband said I'm a sneaky lin woman, and he gave me an ultimate ultimatum, either my friends or my marriage. I don't think that's fair. You don't think that's fair. I'm disappointed in your husband. Cast once I tell you when I see you, and then you telling me how you heard us outside talking? What as we're talking for? I'm disappointed in the husband. I'm disappointed that the police didn't have to come. I'm disappointed that your husband ain't locked up. I'm I'm supported. I'm disappointed your husband ain't facing charges at least second degree. I don't understand how your ex was able to leave in the same damn car he came in. You're gonna leave in a vehicle, but it won't be in a car you came up with, and it's gonna have lights on it. The one you leave in gonna have lights on it, and it's gonna make h Why is stealing?

You're listening to show? All right, guys, here we are our last break of the day on this Tuesday. Going to be a short week because of the holiday yesterday. Yeah, okay, Steve is back, your first day back in a minute. We missed your Steve. We have fun, of course, but we missed you. I appreciate you all holding it down while I was out, you know, appreciate your fans staying with us. Heard some good things about it, So I appreciate that. In closing today, I would like to leave you all with this. I was thinking about this while I was on vacation and I wanted to share it with you. There is a winner in all of us. I'm gonna say it again, there is a winner in all of us. You just have to get after it. Let me explain something to you about this winner that's in all of us. It starts with one thing. This is the core essence of bringing out and developing the winner in you. This is the core essence of being what God intends for you to be. This is the core essence of making your dreams come true. It is one simple thing that all of us must apply, and it is you have to believe. That's the core of it all. It only begins with what you believe, what your mind can believe. You can achieve what your mind can conceive. To believe, you will achieve. But you have to believe. Nothing moves without it. I don't care what you do, I don't care what nobody tell you. If you want the life that you dream of, and you want the life that's in your imagination, the first thing you have to do is believe that it can happen. If you do not believe it, we can stop this conversation right now. So I want everybody out there to think about this in terms of just the simple thing is do I believe? Ask yourself that if you've written your visions down, if you want things to happen in your life, if you aspire to certain things, ask yourself this simple question, do you really believe it can happen? Because if you don't, it won't. It all has to stem from the belief that it can happen. Now there's an amazing thing that happens along the way, because God puts this thing on your belief called grace, and he puts this thing on your life called favor, and it ends up, as I can bear witness to, it ends up being more than you originally believed it could be. But if you do not start with the simple concept and believe it can happen, it won't. It won't. I'm sorry, it won't. If you never believe that you can be successful, you won't. You can't because it needs the belief to start the process. If you never believe you're gonna make it, you're not going to make it. I just don't. I just don't believe I'm gonna make it. No, Well, you're right, you're right. The core essence is belief, and you don't have to have a bunch of it. You just need to have it. See, stop measuring your belief by what somebody else beliefs is. Just deal with your form of belief. See, somebody believes there'll be a billionaire. But maybe you just want to believe that you can make a hundred thousand dollars. Okay, let's go with that belief. If you accomplish that. And when you accomplish that, guess what, It opens up the possibilities of more beliefs. It happened to me what I believed I wanted to be. Once I accomplished accomplished it, it opened up my life to more beliefs. I was able to see more for myself. Because all you need is a little bit of success to think you can make it. All you got to do is run a hundred, to believe that one day you can run two hundred, and once you run a two hundred, that maybe I can get around here and run this four hundred, and then maybe I can run an eight to eighty, and then maybe one day I can run a mile. But you got to start somewhere. But you can't sit there and want to run a marathon and never attempt to run a mile. You have to believe one day that you can run a mile, and then once you run a mile, maybe you build up to two to five, to ten to fifteen. That's how it's done, That's how life works. You only need a little bit of belief in the beginning. You don't have to believe at all. Let God take care of that. Put yourself in the race by starting with the belief. Come on, y'all, what can you muster in your mind to believe? You know? I hear it, used to hear old people when I went to church. They used to say, all you need is the faith of a must see the smallest of all siege. Everybody's heard that, right, Well, that's all the belief you need. Just need a little bit of belief. And if you accomplish that, you never know you can have a bigger belief. But it starts with the belief. So I don't care who you are. You wrote it down on a piece of paper. You've been hoping, but until you believe it don't happen. And you got to say it out loud. I believe. Put it in your head and say I believe. And then stop listening to the naysayers and the haters and the doubt and the clouds of confusion that get in and stick to the belief. Stay with the belief. Man. When it looked dark out there, believe that the sun gonna come up in the morning. When it looked like it ain't no way, believe that they will be away. That's the only way it happened. It starts with belief. So from now on, everything you want in life start by saying I believe, and watch what happens. Those are my closing remarks today. I enjoyed it. Appreciate y'all, Appreciate your team for holding it down while I was gone. But your boys back. I got you. From here on that climb on my back and let's go to work. Jill.
