Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know. Y'all have a suit on the don giving them more like the million bus things and it's y'all to be true. Good Steve listening together for stuy, I don't join me. You gotta use that turn. You gotta turn to turn out, got to turn out to turn to turn the water the water go. Come come on your baby now, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody. You are listening to the voice, come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man o man o man I thank God for it. I thank God for all he's done for me, for all the little things that are oftentimes failed to thank him for that I take for granted for you know, I was. I was talking the other day to a buddy of mine. We had gotten to this conversation about God and and and in the conversation we had narrowed it down and we were talking about changing the way we are as people. You know that everybody has to change. You know, nothing stays the same. Everybody changes, and a lot of these changes can be for the good, and a lot of them are just they just come with time. You know, sometimes it's aging that changes us. But no matter how old you get, you still have the ability to improve as a person. You may not have the foot speed you used to have. You may not be as agile as you used to be. Your energy level may not be what it used to be. Your desire to do some of the things that you used to do may be gone. The thing that doesn't have to change and will not change is you. You have the ability to continue to grow as a person, even when far the time and nature has taken its course. We were talking about everybody can change, and everybody has the right to reinvent themselves as they get older. And I equated it to jumping out of an airplane. You know, there are some people man who get to a certain point in their life and they and they jump from the airplane. Is now almost a stunt of some kind. It's almost like they life and got out of control. You ever seen somebody jump out of airplane and the parachute don't open, and they lifestart and it seems like they start spinning and tumbling and they can't get it together. And I've seen some mid air rescues before, but then there are times when you know when it hasn't worked. You know, you jump out that airplane and and and at first it's fun. I've never skydived before, but I would imagine when you first jump out of an airplane that they people describe it as a sense of being free. And it's exhilarating when you first jump out the plane. But if you pull that cord and nothing happens. I never happened to me, But I can only imagine the panic that's got to set in because no matter how fun it was a moment ago, the flying over to one another, holding hands in the air, the breeze, the descent of the feeling of all of a sudden, if you reach for that cord and that's not there, you're suddenly spinning out of control. And that's what happens in a lot of people's lives. When you first start your life, you jump out the plane. You're free, you're young, you ain't got nothing to where about it. But then you get to a certain point in your life when you go, okay, I'm gonna pull the cord now. And pulling the cord is an important thing because here's the analogy. My friend gave me. He said, man, use your mind like a parachute. It works better when it's open. Well, see what happens with a lot of people, is they in life. They jump out the plane and and and they and they having this free fall and it's fun for now. But they get to a certain point in their life where they got themselves in a situation, or they've had a little bit too much fun a little bit too long, or you know, they wasn't open to nothing and they just did what they wanted to do, or they started getting involved with drugs or drinking, or started running with the wrong people. So you jump out the plane. The first you're free falling. It's fun. But then after a minute, man, something happens and they realize whoa and they reach for the chord, and the chord don't work. Well. Now you're in a panic stricken situation. And my suggestion is what I've learned from the analogy that my friends shared with me, is that we all the sooner we can open mind to God, the sooner we could develop that relationship with him. It's like pulling the cord and opening a parachute. If you open up your mind to God, God is like a parachute. You know, God can slow your descent. God can turn this out of control free fall into a nice ride for you. See, that's what happened to me. I was spinning out of control. I had gotten myself into a point man while I wasn't doing real good. Oh, y'all would look at me and think, man, Stevie man Nam, I wasn't doing real good. I had spun out of control. I was. I was in a free fall, and I reached for the court, but I was so far away the cord didn't open. Then I went to him and I pulled the cord. When I went to God, I pulled the cord and open, and he slowed my descent. And this is what I just believe. I don't believe now that I aged as fast as I was aging, because I got that parachute open. Now, you know, I take better care of myself eating, I work out more. Now you know, I'm not out of control. I have a direction now that when then got up under that parachute a little bit, you know, and now I'm I'm I'm going you know, I'm still getting older, you know, so, but the descent is so slow. Now I'm able to enjoy the ride. I'm guiding my parachute over. Sometimes we go over to to a vacation spot over here, we float back over to it. But you know, I'm still getting old. I'm still going down, but the descent. Because I've opened my mind to God, the parachute has slowed my descent. And now I'm rocking back and forth. But I ain't spending out of control no more. You know, I'm able to enjoy the view. Now. You know, when you jump out that plane and you and you pull that cord and it don't work, you ain't looking at the view no more. You're thinking of only one thing. How can I slow this down? When now I'm able to enjoy the view. I'm able to see all the beautiful things on the horizon that God has for me. I'm able to see all the beautiful things around me that He's provided for me over these years. Because I've slowed my descent. I used my mind like a parachute. It works better when it's open. Open your mind to God, and so you can see the view, so you can slow the descent, so you can stop the out of control freefall that you've been on. That you can get your life together and see everything out on the horizon that God has for you. You know, it turned out to be a very true statement your mind. If you use it like a parachute, it works better when it's open. Y'all, you're listening show, ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls. It has arrived. The new day is here. We're glad about it. We're rejoicing in it. I'm simply overjoyed. Oh my goodness, thank you for another day. I couldn't have done it without you, no way.

Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm recently divorced and in the process of rebuilding my life. My ex husband has been in my face and in my space too much. I had to stop talking to him altogether in the past few weeks because he's still acting as if he's my man. He did move me into my new place and got an additional key made just in case I had an emergency. We were both very cautious people, so I didn't think it was strange for him to have a key. After all, we've been best friends for many years. I used to come home and find grocery items he bought and put in my fridge for me, and it freaked me out. Before my birthday, he filled my living room with balloons and gifts, and it scared me. I insisted that he'd always called before he came by, but since he had a key, it was hard to regulate when he came. One thing led to another, and I took my key away from him. A few months later, I met a man at our singles ministry mixer at church. He's from a neighborhood church, and we were instantly attracted to each other. I asked him if we could attend his church because my ex attend my church. It wasn't a problem at first until my ex husband started missing me at our church and called one Sunday to see if I was all right. My new guy was in the background when my ex called on FaceTime. He blurted out that we are good and everything is good from here on out. My ex didn't like that, and he popped up at my house. I explained to him that I was moving on with my life and I had met someone. He seemed calm, but he was sweating a lot. He asked if he could meet my new guy, and I said no. How do I get my ex husband to understand that he was a cheater so we're divorced and he needs to move on without me? Oh? I think he understands quite well. I really do. He knows what he did, he knows what divorce means. He understands. Let me say this, I applaud you for being able to pick up the pieces and move on. Oftentimes men like him, you know, cheating husband thinks that you're their property and they can do whatever they want and you'll just still sit there and take it and do nothing. He was arrogant and disrespectful and unfaithful, three things that can get you divorced sooner or later. What he did was gamble on his marriage and he lost. Okay, that's it. That's what we mean when we say it's not what we mean when we say take risks. I should say, you don't take risks on your marriage. You don't do that. Okay. Now he's sorry. He wants to act like he didn't do what he did, and I bet it wasn't even worth it, the cheating and all of that. It usually never is. He doesn't want to let you go, but he's got to face the facts that it's too late for him right now. You guys are divorced. It's over. He's going to have to accept it at some point. And what if you marry this new guy that you're with right now? What's your ex gonna do? Then he's got to let you go. That's what he's got to do. Steve, Why can't he take a hint? Well, because men don't do hits. We're not good at that. We don't do hints. You know, ladies, how many times if you hinted to your man something and then he didn't catch the hint? Knee? Now you mad, I hinted to what I wanted for my birthday? You got to tell him we don't do hints really well, because we don't think alike. So let's go. The woman is recently divorced. In the process of rebuilding her life, her ex husband has been in her face and her space entirely too much. She said she had to stop talking to him altogether in the past few weeks because he was still acting as if he was my man. Now, I'm going to point out something right here. The reason he's acting like you he's still your man is because you allow it. And here we go with the proof. He did move me into my new place and got an additional key made just in case I had emergency. With both cautious people, So I didn't think it was strange for him to have a key. How you ain't think that was strange? How you think that it's okay to give your ex a key to your new place? How that ain't strange? Fellas if you're in a divorce and you go get a new place and you give your key to your ex, whatever happened, you got it coming because you stupid, stupid give your ex a key to your new place. And then she said, and the reason I did it was because, after all, we've been best friends for many years. I used to come home and find grocery items he put for me, and my fridge for me. See that sounds good, don't it. But then guess what she said, and it freaked me out. You open up to refrigerate all something, it's just full of grocery. And then before your birthday, he filled my living room with balloons and gifts and it scared me. You freaked out again. I insisted that he'd always called before he came by, but since he had a key, it was hard to regulate when he came because he don't care what you say. He moved you in, he got a key. He putting food in the fridge, keep putting balloons in the house. What you're talking about? It freaked you out, but you ate it all right. Hold on, Steve, we'll have part two of your response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry letter subject why can't he take a hint? We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening show, all right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject is why can't he take a hint? Well, like I said, the reason he can't take a hint is because men don't take hints good. You have to tell us. Divorce lady rebuilding her life, her husband, her ex husband is in a space too much. She didn't quit talking to the man all together because of the past few weeks. He was still acting like he was her man. And I've said before to break this because she allowed it. Now then she says, he did move me into my new place and got an additional key made in case I had an emergency. Then we both cautious people, so I didn't think that was strange for him to have a key. After all, we've been best friends for many years. I don't know how you didn't think it would be strange to have your ex to have a key to your new place. How that ain't strange, That's strange as hell. That is strange as hell to me. It's damn near weird, right, But it's really what I really want to call it. That's stupid. It ain't a man alive gonna get a new place and then give his ex wife a key to it because he no. She gonna just pop up every time she thank her something. And guess what I wanna be in here doing showing you why we got to divorce in the first place, all right, Nan, Then she started getting freaked out by little stuff he did. He put groceries in the fridge for him come home. That freaked out her birthday feeling living room with gifts and balloons. That's scared of the death. And then he say it was hard to rectlate him because he had a key. That's cause it's crazy for him to have the key. So one thing lad to another, and then finally she took the key away. Now here's what life starts picking up. See, once you get rid of the old car in your driveway, you then show the God that you have room for the new car. So after you took your key from the man and stopped playing house with your ex husband so he can pop in, fill it up with balloons and groceries and all this hill. After you did that, a few months later, glory be to God. I met a man. Why why did you meet a man? Because God saw you were ready to meet the man because you cut off all ties with you're old one. You can't have an old car in the driveway and no place to park the new car. So a few months later I met a man at our single ministry, Miss mixer at church. He's from a neighboring church and were instantly attracting each other. I asked him if we could attend his church because my ex attends my church. It wasn't a problem at first until my ex started missing me at our church and called me one Sunday to see if I was all right. Well, my new guy was in the background with my ex call on FaceTime, and her new guy blurted out, we're good. We're all good. Everything good from hire on out home. He was year natan on the tree. He was marking his territory FaceTime. You are right, Yeah, we're good. He wasn't talking to him, but he wanted him to talk to him. We all good, matter, We're good from now this the churchman talking like this because he read it for the confrontation In Jesus, my ex didn't like that. Now. My ex didn't like that. So guess what he did. He popped up at my house and then I explained to him that I was moving on with my life and I had met someone. He seemed calm, but he was sweating a lot. See. He didn't come over that day. He came over the next day and popped up. And the reason he was sweating because he was hoping, like hell, that man that blurted out in the background wasn't over there. And the reason he was sweating because he was scared he was gonna get his ass will. That's what the sweating was. Fault. He ain't on drugs or nothing. He went over there and was thinking this could possibly run into a confrontation and I could get my ass will, But I'm gonna go over there and hope he ain't that. And once again he wasn't there. He asked if he could meet my new guy, and I said no, Now he won't meet the new guy for what I'm gonna tell you why you want to meet him so he can size him up, so he can see what he up agains. But see, he ain't up against nothing, he was up against yourself. Home. You cheated on this woman, You did her bad? How do I get Max mons to that he was a cheater? So we're divorced and he needs to move on without me. No, you ain't got to convince him of that. You move on without him. See why are you trying to get somebody else to act right? But why don't you act right? Quick? Calling me, block his number, change your number, block him, get a restraint in order get all out right here. That's how you move on. See, you ain't gotta try to get him to do right. You just gotta do what you gotta do so you can go on with your new life. You can't make another person do a damn thing, so you have to help him. So you have to help him, and that's all it is. But see, listen to this. You can't keep letting people stay in your life that need to be out your life. Y'all need to stop that. Stop trying to be friends with everybody. That friendship you and your husband had, that season has passed. He ruined that with distrust. So y'all ain't got to be friends no more. Period. I don't know why we like to hang on the stuff that we need to let go of because and they had kids. They ain't got no kids, I know, so it's no reason for them. Man by all right, thank you.

Let's go. We gotta vote, y'all. Absolutely, heyte In closing, I want to go back to something I was talking about, oh last week, and it's about pressure. I want to remind every I want to remind everybody about something. When you feel pressure, when you are under pressure, when you're being pressure rised, when you feel the weight of everything, embrace it. You hear old people say pressure bust to pipe. I mean, if that's how hard pressure is. But pressure also shapes and molds. Pressure always reveals something and the thing that you have to understand about pressure in your life. It reveals a side of you that you may not have been aware of. When I think back on all the pressure moments of my life, it taught me more and more and more about myself than I even knew. I realized in my life that I'm really strong Longer than I ever thought I was that I can actually bear up under more than I thought I could, And so have you. If you just think about it, y'all, think about back to all your pressure moments and how you handle them. The majority of us, ninety eight percent of us have handled the pressure that was presented to us. Or it didn't feel good, it didn't set right with us. It may have caused some adverse things to happen, but you've survived it. You got on the other side of it, and if you haven't, you're currently pressing your way forward through it right now. Pressure is necessary in sculpting who God wants us to be. You need the pressure to form the shape. Nothing happens without pressure. If you ever go to the Grand Canyon, do you see the beauty of the Grand Canyon is one of the natural wonders of the world. You know it caused that pressure. Wressha. You haven't seen a river coming down through a creek, babbling creek to how beautiful it is? You know it causes that pressha. That was some pressure somewhere. You ever seen a waterfall, you ever been in Niagara Falls, Victoria Falls? You know how beautiful it is? You know it's caused. You know, it causes that. Prest Sha Wrestia. You know how you get to become the world strongest man. You've put yourself under pressure. You know how athletes? You know how you saying Boat broke all these world records because he put himself under pressure. It's required. Rock Obama became the first African American president of the United States. You know why because he put himself under the pressure. Pressure shapes molds and bills. Man, But bigger than anything else, pressure produces results. You have got to get accustomed to the pressure. You've got to get okay with the pressure, because pressure produces results. Oh man, if it wasn't professional, excuse me, If it wasn't for pressure, you wouldn't be who you are today. Think about it. Every woman in this world who has had a child, has given birth to a child, has been under immense pressure, unthinkable pressure to be able to do that one thing that nobody else can do with them pressure. Your beautiful child was produced under pressure. Pressure is necessary, man, But pressure is uncomfortable. But you got to get comfortable being uncomfortable, because that's the process to the success. Success is on the other side of that pressure. So you got to deal with it. Pressure, pressure busts of pipe, if you want to look at it that way. But pressure also produces a lot of beautiful things. Pressure also produces a lot of great things. Pressure produces great people. I've always just wanted to be one of those. I never thought I would be the absolute best at anything. I don't know I really can say that or not. I don't really remember trying to be the best at anything. I was morning less trying to be the best that I could be at a certain thing. I've never really put myself in that race with other people. I've always put that self, that pressure on me. I've always been under pressure to be the best of me that I could be. And I thank God for pressure because pressure has produced some great moments for me that has allowed me to be the best person I could be at that particular thing that I was doing. That's what pressure does. Embrace the pressure. Drink it, take big SIPs of it, take gulps of it, because it produces greatness. Those are my closing remarks that they hope you got something from it. Y'all have a good one, man. Hey, look here, we'll see y'all to marrow God, will it another great show coming. Thank you law for today.
