Y'all know what time of y'all don't know, y'all back a suit on, looking back to back down, giving them more like theming buck things in the cubs. Y'all good it, Steh, listen to the movie together for Studley. I don't joy by join me in doing me. Honey, you gotta turn, you gotta turn to turn, got to turn out, then turn the water the water go. Come come on your back. Uh huh, I sure will. A good morning everybody. You are listening to the voice, come on dig me now wanted only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man, oh man, oh man? How good is God to me? And part of the mission and the reason that I have a radio show is to become a share of more and more of a share of you know. I used to hear my mother say it to me all the time. But God blesses you to become a blessing. And I think the more you understand that about yourself, I think the more blessings will flow your way. I think that once you understand the principle that you know. But it's kind of tied together with some other scriptures, and I'm not too knowledgeable about them, of course, as usual. But I do know what I've heard you know, and you know if you look at something simple as do unto others as you would have them do unto you, wouldn't you want somebody to help you if you need help. I just know how to get it down there to where I've been able to understand it. If if there's a scripture similar that it says do unto others as you would have them do unto you, or if that's you know, in a prayer, would not you want somebody to help you if you needed help? You've heard you reap what you sow. Do you understand that if you so discord, that discord is gonna come your way. That if you hate, hate gonna come your way. If you blog nothing but negative comments about people, your life will be filled with negativity. If all you do is talk about people, then guess what somebody got to turn that gun around and talk about you. See, it just stands to reasons. So what I've learned in my life and through all the trials and tribulations that I've had, is to take those lessons and share them with people in case you ain't heard it from somebody else. See sometimes and The reason it seems like I'm redundant at times is what I am is because I'm always trying to find a different way to say the same thing. Because it's a funny thing. Man, You got to hear it a certain way for it to click with you. How many times have I heard a saying and then I heard it a different way that it clicked with me? You know, I've heard of this saying right here, remember this now, everybody's not happy for you. We've all heard that, right, everybody's not happy for you. Well, that's very simple that I don't need no explanation. That simply means of all the people you know or do not know, when something happens to you and you celebrating it, everybody's not going to join in on the celebration. That's all that is. But then you take it one step further. My father used to say something to me all the time. He says, son, everybody come with you, can't go with you. I didn't get that when I was fifteen. Everybody come with you can't go with you. He said, you're gonna lose some of these friends you got along the way. But I don't care where you get in life. No, this right here, everybody can't go with you. If you are constantly trying to improve yourself, you constantly have to take assessment of the people around you. Because if you are going to continue to go and continue to grow, then guess what you got to have people that's on the goal and willing to grow, or else guess what you're gonna learn the valuable lesson. You know, the late boxing promoter Butch Lewis. I was talking with Butch Lewis one time, and man with a good brother man, he say, every successful man, it's doing what I call he got rope work to do. He got rope work to do. He got to put in work on rope. And I'm sitting there listening to Butch Lewis and all the money he had made and all the people's lives he had changed, and all of the moves he was making, and his incredible skills as a negotiator on behalf of some very very wealthy people. He was just an amazing man with no education. But he read everything. He Butch Lewis read all that, all the papers, all the periodicals. That brother knew everything. He said, you got to put in rope, And I was sitting there listening. He said, here's the analogy, little brother. He said, you are on rope. There's a thick rope. You have on no shirt, you have on some tattered clothes. You have on no shoes. Your shorts is cut off just below the knee, and they tattered, and you got dirt on you and you're sweating. There's this huge, huge raw rope over your shoulder that's burn marks on all of your shoulder. Connected to that rope is a wagon. That wagon has all your weight on it, all your responsibilities, all the people you're responsible for, all your children, your wife, your family members, your employees, your coworkers, your friends. They all on that wagon. Man, they're just sitting there. He's saying, what you gotta do is you gotta pull that wagon up the heel. Now. The only thing with it is, can't nobody help you pull your wagon. You pull your wagon alone. He saying, Now, what you can do along the way of pulling your wagon, as you can find yourself a good wife, a good woman. He's saying that what that woman does is she get down off the wagon. She fan you while you pull it. She put water on you while you pull it. She puts stuff in your mouth while you pull it. She kicked rocks out the way while you pull it. But she but she pull it for you. But she is equally as important as you are on the pull of the He said, you hear me clearly now, young soldier. He said, NA get this hill. He says, people on your wagon that you're responsible for. But you want the people on your wagon to help you get your wagon to the top. So what you hope is that they got their foot hanging over the side pushing, They got one leg over the back, or maybe both legs over the back pushing. They got they might have their butt on the wagon, but they push you with both legs. They're back facing your back, maybe some of them facing you when one of them got left leg hanging over trying to push. And you hope that all the people on the wagon you pulling is back there at least trying to help the wagon get to the top of the hill. Here goes your problem. Though everybody ain't pushing, everybody ain't pulling, ain't bar everybody ain't pulling, Everybody ain't kicking rocks out the way. You got some people on your wagon. That's just laying on the wagon, drinking lemonade, looking at you, talking about how long it's taking you to get your wagon up to the top. Can get you? Tell my whitest wagon, so slow. Then when you start picking up picking up speed, they want you to pull harder, you to pull faster, you to pull mole. Then they want you to throw what you then earned on the way up the hill backed on the wagon so they can have MO. But guess what, they ain't helping you get more. But they got a sense of entitlement that since you got mold, they should have MO. Everybody come with you can't go with you. Sometimes you gotta kick the people off the wagon that ain't pushing and pull it and say, hey man, I'm sorry. I thought I could do this with you, and I thought you was going with me. But it's clear to me you ain't nothing but dead weight, and it ain't my responsibility to carry dead weight anymore. I have carried you as long as I have to carry you. You are no longer my responsibility. I'm responsible for my family, my wife, my children. I'm not responsible for you. You got to get off my wagon because I'm a man on rope. I'm on a mission. Baby, I'm pulling. You're listening to show people. People get ready, there's a change of coming. Uh, that's not how I want to start the show. Good morning everybody. I just thought I stopped that for it went too far down the dog hole. Yep. Sounded like that wasn't gonna going on West step all this problems. Sometimes you just gotta do what it is you do.

We almost got killed. Also another one was when it snowed outside, we would hide behind the cars at the corner, whichever cars and he high and when the car pulled off, you know, they pulled off slow because our street with brick and they didn't want to spend, so they would pull off slow. If they pulled off slow. We would run squat down behind the grab, holding to the fender and ski all the way. Yeah yeah, yeah man. So one time I was feeling and slipped and failed and my glove got caught on some hook inside demands fender. So now I've slipped and failed and my glove got hooked on it.

Am I right? Okay? The child support is not being paid for from mister for the uh, for mister young and then we're trying to get this thing rectified. Now. The problem that we're gonna having, the reason why we're giving you a call is considering that your your husband hasn't worked since the first of the year. And I haven't done the research yet. I'm just I'm just not pulling up your file. I haven't done the research to see how many months in the rears he is on child support. It just started once he lost a child.

Understand that, I understand, But they're gonna be garnishing your check, ma'am, until this until your husband can get this thing back on its feet and get it rectified and get him up to parts four of all the payments that are hurt. And when will this be taking place? Because if that's the case, I'm not gonna be working because that's not gonna happen. I have my own children, so I don't understand how that. So I don't don't have anything to do with child for it or anything like that. And if that's the case, I'm not gonna be working as a right now, underesting of the check is gonna come from you and you are at the hospital. Correct, No, that's not it's not where you work. I don't.

You're willing to quit your job, I'm not understanding this if you're sure white, because I'm not gonna be taking care of someone else's kids and I have my own, so how that's right?

Buckle up, hold on tight, We got it for you here. It is the Strawberry letter subject the second child could ruin my relationship. Dear Stephen Shirley. I am twenty two years old and I have a three year old daughter with my boyfriend. We've been together for six years, but we've been off and on the whole time. One night, when we were not together, I went out and got really drunk with a guy that has been liking me for a long time. I got so drunk that I passed out, and the next morning I woke up at the guy's apartment and realized that we had had sex. We went to the store and got a Plan B pill so I would not get pregnant. Well, the Plan B didn't work and I ended up pregnant, and I knew it was this guy's baby because I had not had sex with my boyfriend before or after that night. When I found out I was pregnant, I got back with my boyfriend and we had a lot of sex, so when I told him I was pregnant again, he had no reason to think it was not his baby. We got back together, I had the baby, and everything has been great with my boyfriend and I. We have not had any problems and he has taken in good care of me. And the kids. But I have a big problem. I posted a picture of my six month old daughter on Facebook, and her daddy and his family saw the picture, and now they want to be included in my child's life. There is no way for me to deny that she's his daughter, but my boyfriend has no idea. I honestly wish my daughter's dad was like most of the other dudes that don't care about their kids, but he's not. He has been asking to spend time with her. I want to tell my boyfriends so badly, but I know it will be the end of us for good. I will be alone without a father for either of my kids. I can't help but think that this is my karma for getting drunk and having sex. What should I do? Should I secretly let my daughter see her dad? Please help? Well, I don't know about karma for getting drunk and having sex, but you certainly got drunk and didn't have any protection and had sex. And I cannot be a party to you lying to your baby daddy. I cannot do that. This is a whole mess right here. You're in all because you got drunk and, like I said, didn't use protection. That was not smart. Now, all these lies you've told, they can mess up everyone's life if you tell the truth. And because your daughter's father and his family want to be a part of her life, and rightfully so, why wouldn't he. You know, a lot of guys don't want to be a part of their kid's life, but you're right, this guy does. He's not one of those ones that don't want to be a part of his child's life. So no, you should not do it secretly, not let her see him secretly, because that's just more lies on top of more lies and lies and lies and lies. I mean, don't you think you've had enough secrets and enough lies? Don't you think that? And I'll say this, I mean some things I do believe you should take to your grave, but this is certainly not one of them. You're gonna have to come clean. You have to come clean because the pictures out there now you've posted it on the internet. You do not want your man to find out on the internet, and you don't want him to find out from your daughter's real dad. You just don't want to do that. It's not a good look. You're gonna have to face the music. You did this to yourself unfortunately, but you know, you have your child to think of now, and you have to You're gonna have to come clean and do the right thing. Stie, how drunk you is, you're gonna have it? Yeah, you know so, man, I don't care how drunk you is. I don't understand that. I woke up, yeah, and realized I had six Of course, I could be speaking from lack of experience, so let me just preempty by saying that, Yeah, I'm not judging her, but I don't know nobody that can really really clean. I was drunk. I woke up and I didn't realize it, but I had had sex. I don't know a person as that. I'm I saying it's not possible. But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter that you got drunk with a guy that was liking you for a long time, and you got so drunk that I passed out. In the next morning, I woke up back to the guy's department and realize that we had had sex. So we went to the store and got the Plan B peal so I wouldn't get pregnant. Well, Plan B didn't work, and now you're pregnant. I knew it was this guy's baby because I had not had sex with my boyfriend before or after that night. Okay, how long before and how long after? Obviously it was close enough that when you found out you was pregnant, you got back with your boyfriend and y'all had a lot of sex. So then when I told him I was pregnant again, he had no reason think it was not his baby. Oh girl, you're real tricky, Yeah, you real tricky. So now we got back together out of and had the baby. Everything being great with my boyfriend and I were had any problems, and he's taking good care of me and the kids. Wow, you tricky girl, But now you got a problem because you don't. Posted a picture of my six month old daughter on Facebook and her daddy and this family saw the picture and now they want to be included in my child's life. What just like that for? There's no way for me to deny that she's his daughter. That little girl looked just like that man that much. But my boyfriend ain't got no idea. I honestly was my daughter's dad was like most other dudes that don't care about their kids. But he ain't. He's been asking to spend time with her. What how old is your baby? Six months? Right, that's what the letter say. This letter screams for opporternity test. Yeah, so we can be shown. So before you throw your life out the window, you really need to find out if this is demand's baby. That's for starters. All right, hang on, Steve. We'll get to part two of your response, coming up at twenty three after the hour, subject the second child could ruin my relationship right after this you're listening, all right, Let's recap today's strawberry letters Steve, and get to part two of your response, subject this second child could ruin my relationship. Okay, this girl off and home relationship with her man. They have a three year old daughter together. They went off, she got drunk or night passed out. I was out with a guy that really liked He passed out, woke up next door and drunk, realized they had sex when and bought a Plan B peel. Plan B peel didn't work. Um, she decided she knew she was pregnant. She found out she was pregnant, so she got back with her boyfriend. They had a lot of sex, so it was no reason for him to think that it wasn't his baby. She's passed this off as his baby. Everything has been going good for this past six months. The guy's acting right. He's taking good care of her and the babies, and everything's been great, and I had any problems, and but now she says she's got a big problem. I posted a picture of my six month old daughter on Facebook, and her daddy and his family saw the picture, and now they want to be included in my child's life. Okay, that's natural. So it's obvious to me that for him to look at the child and think that's his child, you must have told him that the plan B peel didn't work. So now when he online, because ain't no dude looking to be no father, Not these dudes, not nowadays. So now what happened is you probably told him to play and be didn't work and then he I don't know what he said, ain't look ad what and all that. Now you go with your boyfriend pawned the child off on him. He's going for it. Now he'd found a picture on Facebook and go, damn, she looked just like me, and you already think that's his daddy. There's no way for me to deny that she's his daughter. But my boyfriend has no idea. Now he ain't like other dude, or he want to see his kids. He'd been asking to spend time with her. I want to tell my boyfriend so bad, but I know will be the end of us for good. I think you're correct, but then you may not be correct. He may stay in there with you, but it's gonna be a problem that would be the end of us for good. Then I will be alone without a father for either one of my kids. I can't help but think this is my calma for getting drunk and having sex. Well, listen, young lady, it's not your calma, but it is the results. You know that behind every action there's an equal and opposite reaction, and as young people, we have to understand that we've got to really be conscious of our actions. Now you've made a mistake, but it's nothing you can't recover from. So listen to me. I know it seems daunting, but you want to keep your relationship with your boyfriend because he's a good dude. This other dude than obviously said, see, this is why I think that you may have told him that the plan b pel didn't work. Because while he onlines, he see a baby, he goes, man, that's my baby, that's my baby. Don't dude, just go that's my baby. Unless you told him you were pregnant, he said he didn't want to have nothing to do with it. Now he got the baby. Now him and his whole family want to spend time with the That ain't right. You don't get no girl pregnant and leave out like that as his mama talking. Now, you know he got to do the right thing. Now you want to do the right thing, but the right thing is not the right thing because you told your boyfriend it was his What should I do? Should I secretly let my daughter see her dad? That's the biggest mistake you can make because there is no secret because the kid gonna tell it. She's six months now. But what is she gonna be calling that man when you go over to daddy. Ain't you got her calling this one daddy? When she can start talking. You don't think she's gonna get it confused one day? Secret? No, you got enough secrets, so we have to stop the secret. Shirley is right. Shirley said, there's some decisions you have to take to your grave. This is not one of them. This is where you're gonna have to stand up and bear up under what has happened. Now, what's the lesson we've learned here? Yo? Da? First of all, we don't do good when we drink, so we need to take drinking off the list of fun things to do because this fun thing then turn into a situation. Now you got two beautiful children. God don't mistake. God don't make mistakes with children, So they're here. You do have a dilemma because you're going to have to the first thing you need to do is secretly go get a paternity test. That you do need to do secretly so you can find out exactly who the father is because it may not be this one night dude's baby. It may not be, but then again, if it is, that's his child, you can't deny him. And then you got to tell the truth to your boyfriend. And then you got to just say you I want you to forgive me, and you got to see where it goes. But you're gonna have to play it out. I don't think you love this new guy at allow all right, listen, you can post your thoughts. Thank you, Steve.

It's called Asked Steve. All right, here we go. How would you describe your life in one sentence? It has been an amazing journey. I like that. Okay, it has been an amazing journey. I like it. Okay, okay, okay, I got one. What It's something you want to tell your significant other, but are afraid that if she find out your break up or devoce you. Oh, I know the answer to that. I'm saying that, right, don't. I don't know why the hell they give me that girl, because no, I'm not giving that. That'll be all over the internet. Steve Harvey wants to Oh no, oh, no, great question. But that's a really good question. Oh the question is, yeah, I'm not walking into that. Well, maybe you can answer this one, Steve, all right, here's a question. What is the most surprising thing you've accidentally overheard about yourself? He doesn't forget anything anything, you know, he observed things about the time. One of the most surprising things was a little boy who came up to me at the Wearable Gala just this past week. And this is my most recent surprising thing. He's the keynote speaker at the camp this Sunday, he mentoring camp came to my camp eight years ago, came up to me and told me, mister Harvey, your camp changed my life. I was called to the ministry that night after listening to you. I'm a minister and I'm preaching at the camp for the closing remarks on this Sunday. That was pretty surprising to me because I don't know what I said turning into a preacher many kids, I didn't cut down down, that's tough love. It's a really big surprise. Wow. Okay, okay, right, junior, all right up, all right. What is something you did when you were younger that could have healed you but you were too young to realize it. I got a bunch of them. One time, my brother's convinced me and my nephew to paint. My father had bought this catch strap home that we got whippings with, and he kept it on the hook right over his rocking chair. My brother told me and my dumbass nephew, if you painted white and hanging back on that hood, he ain't gonna know it because they bled in with the wall. We painted it, and what happened right there. We almost got killed. All Right, that ends it for asked Steve coming up our last break of the day and some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey right after this you're listening to all right, Steve, here we are last break of the day on this hump day. Time for you to leave us with some closing remarks. Yeah, you know. I try to find different ways to encourage people because, uh, life, life is really challenging, man, and it's becoming even more so for all of us because of social media. Man. It's like craziness. It's it's you can become a part of the meal, so to speak. You can just become a part of the meal. And you don't even have to be famous, you really really don't. It can just be in your circle of friends that you start getting hated on or something like that. But it's really difficult out here. So I really try to give people bits and pieces of things that happened to me as I progress through my life and I maintain and I grow all the while in spite of in spite of not two things help me. First of all, my relationship with God is probably better than it's ever been, because I've learned some really really useful tools over the past year to really really help me. Now, little did I know that God was presenting these tools to me so I could so I would have them and be equipped for the fight that he knew was coming my way. Man, that's a cool, cool thing to know that God taught me some things before last year that was going to help me with what he knew was coming my way this year. So the first thing I have to attribute and give credit to my relationship with God has been the real root of my ability to keep moving forward in the face of all circumstances, whether they seemed appeared to be what they were or not. And then secondly, I have learned how to shield myself. It's not that I know how to shield myself, but I've learned how to put a protective coding over my mind to help me deal with negativity because it's just so much of it out there. Man. And if you get if you really listen to what everybody's saying, you know you have a lot more people that love you than hate. You know that the problem with hate is it's so dog gone loud, and love you just somebody call and say, hey, man, don't worry about none of that. I got your back. I love you, man, thank you for all you do. Your real friends know the truth. It's just people who don't. They have something to say. So, your relationship with God and this practice that I've learned of how to the coat now how to coat my mind from negativity, have been two of the most powerful things that I've developed over the past couple of years and last year and few months ago. That's really really helping me. And So what I wanted to kind of share in light of all of that, or in that same vein as what I want you to stop doing. If you're doing this, stop giving people permission to have an opinion about you. Man, Stop giving people permission to have an opinion about you when, first of all, they don't even know you. Number two, are a lot of people with an opinion about you. They've never met you. And here's the most important reason they don't know you. They haven't met you. And you want to know the real reason, you shouldn't care, because they don't care. They don't care anything about you, one way or another. They just riding through the system, pushing buttons, and you happen to be the button that they pushing today. Do not give people permission to have an opinion about you, and you listen to it. I stopped doing that. I stopped giving people my permission to have an opinion about me. You don't have I'm not giving you permission. Now you can go have one, but it's without my permission, So therefore you can't affect me. Listen to me. People, If you don't give them the permission to affect you, they can't affect you. You can keep pushing on and upwards to your goals. Don't give them permission to turn you back. Don't give them permission to stop you. Don't give a person permission to ride your back. Marty Luther King said, a man can't ride your back unless you bend over. Stand up, stand up to some of this mess. I'm not saying go down there and do something about it. I'm just saying, stand up, hold your head up, square your shoulders, pinch your shoulder blades, get your chests out, hold your chein up, go on with your bad self. Quit worrying about what they're saying. Then people don't even know you. Don't give these people permission to make you feel less than who you really are. Your heavenly Father made you. You're a child of God. These people but didn't make you. Do not give them permission. Don't give them permission to be a determining factor in your life. They don't have your permission to do that. They don't have the ability to do that. Don't give them permission to hate you, turn you back, ride your back, make you feel less, be a determining factor in your life. You know why because they don't know you, they never met you, and they don't care about you. You should not care about what they think. Those are my remarks. Have a good week.
