Today show is pre recorded.

Y'all know what's time.

Y'all don't know y'all at all at all, So.

Don't given a.

Black A million bus buss things?

Ye listening too for?

I want joy joy? They have sacre, you know, turn.

Love you.

I can't have to turn the mouth turn.

You probably got to.

Turn the mouth out to turn.

The mot up. Wouldn't come.

Come out? Uh huh, I sure will.

Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice? Come on dig me now one it only Steve Harvey got a radio show. You know this week, I just been on it, so today is no different. I'm telling you, I've just reinvigorated myself. I'm more determined to share the principles of success. I'm more determined to help and guide and teach as many people as I can the things that I've learned. And I mean, man, I've been through it. I have really been through it. I kid you not.

You know.

I used to say, Okay, God, you know, why is all this happening to me? But as I've gotten older, I understand that was the ingredients. I needed the ingredients to be this cake. I needed all those ingredients stirred up. I need all of that different flavors, the stuff that I didn't think tastes so good. All that stuff had to come into the bowl in order for me to get to where I am today. As much as I did not like the taste of the ingredients, little.

Did I know God was making this cake, not me.

But what he did was and you've heard the old saying God could turn lemons into lemonade, Well that's what he was doing now. At the time, it all had a little funky lemonade lemony flavor to it, with some other stuff in it too.

I didn't care for it.

But little did I know that I needed everything that happened to me, that happened to me in the exact order that it happened, and the exact array of things that happened for me to have the knowledge I have today, the experience, the attitude, so I could turn around and share that information. Okay, got that out the way. This is what I want to give to you today. I want you to understand something that discipline determines your destiny, not your desire. Discipline determines your destiny, not your desire.

You've heard me say this.

How many times on the show Okay, here we go againstee. I got it. Faith with our works is dead. So let me tell you something. To be a hard worker, you got to be disciplined. That's one of the hardest lessons I'm trying to get through to my sons. You're gonna throw yourself down a cliff if you're not a young man or a man that possesses discipline. Because they got something for undisciplined people. They got some street laws for undisciplined people, and they got some federal laws and state laws for undisciplined people. So that's why them signs is outside on the freeway, we're gonna let you go fast, But seventy is the limit.

Seventy fast enough.

Really, if you're disciplined enough of a person to leave your house at the time you're supposed to leave your house, seventy miles per hour is absolutely enough. But if you're an undisciplined person, if you don't have the wherewithal to leave your house on time, to get ready to go where you wanna go, see the desires where you wanna go, the discipline.

Is how you get there.

You understand you can wanna go to see your family in California all you want, but the flight leaves at one eighteen.

You leave your house at twelve thirty.

They told you you must check in one hour before your flight. Now, if you ain't got the discipline to get to the airport to check in one hour before your flight, leaving your house forty five minutes before the flight departs, what you think gonna happen? Your desire to go see your family in la is going to be thwarted because you lack the discipline to prepare yourself and get yourself ready to do the things that you have to do to make your desires come true. I'm telling you you, discipline determines your destiny, not your desire.

You can write down a list of.

Stuff you wanna do all day, but if you don't produce and show the discipline necessary to get there, what you think gonna happen?

Huh?

Okay? I wanna be rich? Okay, I wanna make four hundred thousand a year. Okay, I wanna be the best player that they is. Okay, but you don't want practice. See the cat that's disciplined enough to show up at practice, that's shooting jumpers when everybody gone home that's the guy that's gonna be the best. The guy that's never late for practice, the guy that study the playbook. That's the guy that's gonna make it, not the guy that's talking crack, got stalking that smack. I'm gonna make the Pro Bowl, I'm gonna make the All Star Team. I'm gonna be All American. That's just what you're saying. But discipline determines your destiny, not your desire. So now let's talk about this discipline. What is that, really, Steve. That's your work ethic, that's your hunger, that's your will. Discipline is how hard you're willing to demonstrate the attributes and the traits to be what you want to be.

Did you hear me?

It is your willingness to conduct yourself in a manner that is above and beyond what they say is necessary. Now, this is a good example right here.

Now.

You can wanna be in the NFL all you want, but they got this thing called the NFL Combines where they bring in some of the top players at every position to come in and they gonna run a forty yard dash, they gonna do a standing broad jump, They're gonna do a standing vertical leap. They gonna do drills, running drills, cutting drills. They can determine if a linebacker got stiff hips by making him back pedal, point him in one direction and throw the football in another direction.

How does he turn his body?

Now you can say you can tell everybody at your college you want to play pro football. You can tell everybody at your high school. You can tell them in Peewee you wanna play pro football. But they got tests for you though. It's called the combines. Now you get out here and you have a bad combine day, Ain't nobody trying to hear that. Let me tell you how excuses don't work with people when they just trying to get when they trying to win in the NFL.

The fact that you had a bad day at the.

Combine and you don't run your best forties and you keep telling them you could do better, they don't want to hear that. Because see, what ain't nobody gonna pay you for is to play on Sunday. And that's one of your bad days. We paying you to play on Sundays. But because you keep having these bad days, because you ain't disciplined enough to put in the work, to make sure that your.

Maximum can be called upon at any time.

Now you at to combine with some slow times that go on your record.

To combine.

You don't jump as high as you did when you was at the gym class. Well, hold up, man, this is show day now. In the NFL, Sunday is show day. What they can't run the risk of is paying you your money. And your bad day happen to be on Sundays after we didn't cut your check. No, no, no, We looking for people who limit them bad days, who got the discipline to work hard, to make an effort for it. You understand what I'm saying to your folks, Please understand this. Discipline determines your destiny, not your desire.

You can want it all you.

Want, But if you ain't working, if you ain't grinding, if you ain't hurting, if you ain't sweating real bad, if you always somewhere, got to chill, you got to have a cold one, you got to smoke one, You got to do all them things. Can I tell you something you ain't gonna make it. Discipline determines your destiny, not your desire.

You're listening. It's a the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Ladies and gentlemen, put a smile on your face because well, God did it again.

Another gift, another day, another honor, another pleasure.

Listen.

I know for some of you some things were a bit challenging yesterday, and I know that you.

Had some tough moments yesterday. But guess what.

The fact that God woke you up again today, it's a sign that He ain't through with you yet, and he getting you ready to receive the blessings that you've been asking for. But it's a process, y'all. I will tell you that it is a process. But start understanding and appreciating the journey because at least you own it. You are own it and in it. Today is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

I am.

Let's go Shelon Strawberry, Calinfrail, Mississippi Monica Junior and the Legend of Nephew Tommy.

And yeah, I gotta ask you someone because something didn't go right for me yesterday.

Uh huh, got some news didn't really go well.

But I'm trying to learn do I keep the same attitude with the successes as you do the failures Because I'm really really kind of upsetting myself that it didn't work out.

Well, it's a lot of times it's not gonna work out. And that's not to say you won't ever be disappointed, because you will. But you gotta keep getting up and facing it because sometimes, man, do you know why things don't work out? Sometimes sometimes it don't work out because God heard conversations you didn't hear, He saw things you didn't see, and he knows some stuff that you don't know, and so he just caught He keeps it from happening so it don't mess up your life. And a lot of times we think, well, that doesne messed up our plans? Well, see, your plans, if they get carried out all the time, will really mess up your life. Do you know how many times your plan has messed up your life? Do you know how many times your plan has messed up your life? And then sometimes God just get tired of us and he gonna, look, I'm not gonna let that one happen, cause that you don't even know the dog road the dog Now who you didne been with that you made the plan to be with and God with Okay, alright, I tell you what.

I ain't gonna let you do that no more. So the next time.

You try to get with somebody, he throw a little money wrench in it. Right, man, I sure wanted to get with her brother. He heard some conversations you did in here. He saw some things you didn't see, and he knows some stuff you don't know, and he just don't let it happen. So I've learned to accept the defeats, the setbacks, and I've really gotten a lot more comfortable with the nose cause I go, man, do you know because if God want me to have something, do you know what's going to happen? And it ain't gonna matter what nobody say. Now I found that to be true too, and so I just try to live my life more even keel. Like I don't get too excited when it go right, and I don't get too down when it go wrong. I just kind of just stay flat pe tell the man you got this, you ain't you ain't? Yeah, thank you, man, dog, I figure you'd be more excited than that. Yeah, Okay, Well you keep living though, cause crve ball coming. You know what I'm saying?

So now you know how do you fix this? O't ever go back out with him smoking, no more, just avoid him. Okay, tell you right now. He ran that statement through his mind at least away at old time. Wow, he didn't bought a box of cigar. But but but but let me tell you something. Let me let me smoke your cigar. It's very different from let me taste your Yeah. Hell yeah, ye see once you say that to me?

All right? Moving on to Eddie and Smyrna. Eddie said, I texted the next girlfriend after she had surgery to see how she was doing. She posted a huge thank you, a huge thank you to everyone that checked on her, and she listed my name my wife though it and I've been getting cursed out per days. What do I tell my why he shouldn't he should should have never texted his ex girlfriend.

Oh it was his ex girlfriend his ex girlfriend after she what you're worried about?

Help Christmas, hey man, and don't let your wife get sick. You ain't gonna be able to do it nothing.

Yeah, all right, like you check her.

Last one, Steve. This is from Riesa and Williamsburg. Rita says, I broke up with my boyfriend because he cheated on me. The girl he cheated with called me and said that I should take him back because all he did was talk about me while they were together. Should I consider him giving him a second chance.

As possible? You know what, Well, here's a myth that women have. Women say wants a cheatah, always a Cheatah.

That is not the truth. That's not a true statement. It's some man that get it right.

It is.

Now can you deal with that? That's up to you. That's an individual person.

I can't tell you.

Yeah, take him back and all that. It's up to you. Then you want him back to ask that question thinking about.

It, but it was pretty dope though. The dude he created her out. He talked about her the whole time, which meant he really didn't want that side piece. That means, oh, he told me that. I'm just over here because because I've been disappointed. It's like I heard of a gown on Instagram one time. He's talking to a group of women.

I really like the guy.

Where's wire frame glasses were a skull cap?

Got a beer? I don't know, I like him. I'm not to come very very.

Bright out with wisdom relationships, younge, and he was on the boat too.

Okay, all right, coming up at the top of the hour, we have entertainment news that's coming up right after this. You're listening to the same Harvey Warning show. All right, So have you guys heard about this?

Now?

We don't know if it's true, but there are rumors circulating on the internet that the late great Quincy Jones left his kids just a huge amount I mean staggering amount of money from record sales and royalties to multimedia companies in real estate. Quincy's seven children, including his actor daughter Rashida Jones, are set to inherit a staggering fortune following his death. Some reports are saying the children might receive as much as fifty million dollars each fifty million dollars each. He has seven kids. Quincy passed away on November third at his Beverly Hills home. He was ninety one years old.

I don't I don't. I don't understand what the surprise in the shock is. I don't think people understood the Quincy Jones value. How long he's been doing, what he's been doing, how many hits this man is behind. I don't think people understand Bruh and his real estate investments. This was the premiere producer in music history that ever, this guy of all times. Way man, this dude was making money long time. And I'm gonna tell you something, when you get old, Once you get old and you still make money, you already have your house, you already got calls, you know, you got, you got everything you need, all of it. It's just money coming in. I don't need why everybody's surprised at this fifty million per child and all like this.

Are you surprised because he's black?

Because I'm telling you, man, you much you had that kind of money money. No, Quincy Jones has staggering amounts of money. He was wealthy. He didn't make money on appearances. He made mailbox money. That's different, man, mailbox money when you're sitting at the house and money come in. Once he produced a hit. That hit is the gift that keeps on giving forever. And they just they just rolling in. Man, this guy was he just a phenomenal just a great guy too.

That sure are you guys parents, I'm sure you guys planning on leaving your kids something and oh yeah and getting why didn't say fifty millions, but I mean you are going to oh yeah for your kids. Yeah, that's good. He and large.

You have made a consciousness. See yeah, we spend in eighty five percent of this. Everybody at my funeral going to be staggered, not staggered a mount despite the staggered, yeah, split just about seventy. It ain't finna be what couissing Neil got.

I tell you that, of course, Neil.

Well.

President Joe Biden welcomed back President elects Donald Trump to the White House for a meeting in the Oval Office. Congratulations. President Biden said, in part to Trump that he looks forward to having a smooth transition. Trump thanked Biden, adding that quote, politics is tough, and in many cases it's not a nice world. But it is a nice world today, and I appreciate it very much. We all remember that Trump did not give um transition. Yeah he said that. I saw it out of his mouth.

Yeah he did.

We all remember that Trump, of course didn't give a smooth transition to President Biden back on January sixth of twenty twenty one. That was the same days insirect. So here's a question. Have you guys ever been forced to be nice? Forced to be nice to someone you didn't like.

Every day.

You're forced to be nice you don't want to be.

I can't think a day that went by. I ain't been pushing.

Man.

I had a job one time. I worked at Generally Electric. Man, I had a boss named Bob Cook. Fat potbelly, asked Bob Cook. He set up at the desk one time, put his feet up on the desk. Now, in the little meinal job. But I learned how drive a tow mode on that job and everything. And he set me down one day and he put his feet up on the desk. He said, Steve can tell you something. He said, if you hang in there, you do everything I tell you to do, just the way I tell you to do it. He's saying, about twenty five years, you could be me.

Come on, I got up and.

Went to my locker, put my clothes on it. Quick, you fat pot belly. If you think you it, wait a minute. In twenty five years, I can be you twenty five years. Dog, I was twenty twenty five. I was twenty five at fifty, I'm gonna be you, boy.

That ain't the play. I got on, got to my locker and quick.

Junior, I know you have a story. We don't have the time for that one. I can't have no comment. That's what I have to sin.

It's like that, wow, really no comment and I'm gonna fit And you even asked me the question with time.

Dang.

I can't wait to hear that one out here. Yeah, all right, finally. In entertainment news, according to People magazine, Michael Strahan is setting the record straight after receiving backlash when he didn't put his hand over his heart during the national anthem during Fox's Veterans Day tribute on Sunday, November tenth, Strayhan posted a video on his IG page and said, quote, everyone thought he's protesting. He's making a statement which is so far from the truth. He said, I have nothing to protest. I have no statement to be made.

We got it for you here. It is strawberry letter thanking a you subject. Why can't we both be happy? Dear Stephen Shirley. I was best friends with a hateful and very selfish person for thirty plus years, and I don't even I didn't even know it until my boyfriend now husband asked me to marry him. He proposed three months before my best friend's wedding, and we had a small party to celebrate our engagement. My best friend didn't come, and she called me a distasteful bee for allowing my man to propose so close to her wedding. She said our engagement party was just to throw it in her face that I was getting married. She said it was supposed to be all about her leading up to her wedding, but instead I tried to compete with her. What she didn't know is that my man wanted to propose to me at her wedding reception. Now that really would have set her off. Both of us have been with our boyfriends a long time and we both dreamed of getting engaged. I did not have a problem when she got engaged before me. I was happy because she was like a sister to me. This woman ended our friendship and she kicked me out of the wedding. It's been two years and I had a wedding without her, and I feel like a part of me is missing. I want to make peace and get some closure, but she still won't talk to me. My husband said I should leave it alone because I don't need any person in my life that's that selfish and can cut me off that easily. I've had plenty of time to think about this, and I can't understand what I did wrong. My husband said he proposed when he felt like the time was right, and it had no thing to do with her, So let her go. Should I keep trying to reach out to her to let her know that I was not being vindictive? Or should I let it go and keep praying for her?

Well?

No, okay, listen to your husband on this one. Please. This woman is not your friend. You've been with her for you guys were friends, you thought for thirty plus years. No, that wasn't the case. A friend wouldn't do this to you, just like you were happy for her when she got engaged. A friend would have just been as excited for you when you got engaged. You might miss her and what you thought was a real sisterhood between the two of you. But she's shown you who she is. Okay, you already know, so you got to believe her. Anyway. She cuts you off just like that, and she's gone on with her life and hasn't reached out to you at all. You said all that in your letter. It's been a whole two years since you've spoken to her. She's not thinking about you. This is over and that's why your husband against is against any kind of reconciliation because he knows how hurtful this was to you. So don't open up old wounds by inviting her back into your life. It's not gonna work out. And yes, keep praying for her, no harm in that. Can't see how that can't help this situation.

See, well, this letter really, the way it starts it really helps me with my answer throughout the letter. The question is why can't we both be happy? And I will explain to you why that's not possible. Here listen to the opening line of the letter, Stephen Shirley, I was best friends with a hateful and very selfish person for thirty plus years and I ain't even know it until my boyfriend now husband asked me to marry him.

Do you know what you have to unpack in that statement?

Right there?

You were best friends. This is the best friend you had.

This is the best you've had in thirty years to a hateful and very selfish person for thirty plus.

Years, and I ain't know it until my husband asked me to marry him.

Now, what started this was he proposed three months before my best friend's wedding, and they had a small party to celebrate their engagement three months before the wedding. My best friend didn't come, and she called me a distasteful bee for allowing my man.

To propose so close to her wedding.

She said our engagement party was just to throw it in her face that I was getting married. Well, she was getting married in three months, and according to this letter, you were in the wedding. So this plan in the wedding takes little more than three months from what I understand. So she's planning this wedding, she's gonna get married in three months. Your boyfriend now fiance, now her husband, asked you to marry him three months before. No man thinks about that stuff, ain't nobody at no dude did that deliberately I'm on show him that ain't how men think, and said that you were trying to compete with her. What she didn't know is my man wanted to propose to me at her wedding reception. Now that would have really set her off. Girl, you don't even know. You ain't never spoke the truth. But then I didn't have a problem when she got engaged before me. So I'm just reading this letter because I'm gonna wait to the second half to tell you what this is. And I've been in I know what this is, so I'm gonna help you understand this way. But lady, I'm just reading to you. I want you to hear what you're describing to us. I was happy because she was like a sister to me. You were happy she found out you got married, you was getting married, and she wasn't happy. The woman in it our friendship kicked me out of the wed and you ain't even in the wed no more. I feel like a part of me is missing. I want to make peace and get some closure, but she still won't talk to me. I don't know what it is with y'all women. Where you got to have closure, siting look like it closed to me.

All right, Steve, hang on, we'll have part two of your response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry letters subject why can't we both be happy? We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening to the Stave Harvey Morning Show. Are you ready for the ultimate cat and mouse edge of your seat crime thriller? You gotta check out Prime Videos late. The series Cross, starring Alvis Hodge, can DC's lead investigator and forensic psychologist, Detective Alex Cross out with the serial killer that's terrorizing the city. Full of twists and turns. You'll be rooting for Cross and loving the killer soundtrack. Get ready to tune in and work the case. Watch Cross, a new series only on Prime Video. Watch now. All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter, the subject why can't we both be happy?

Well?

Why can't we both be happiness? Because something's wrong? This is your description of your best friend for thirty years. This is your best friend. This is the best person, the best relationship you have with another female in your whole life. I was best friend with a hateful and very selfish person for thirty years and didn't even know it until my boyfriend now husband, asked me to marry him. You didn't see it. You didn't see the hatefulness. You didn't see this selfish person. It took you thirty years to see this.

Lady.

You need to get your eyes open, You need to get your head on the swoof. You need to become more aware.

And because your husband proposed to you three months before her wed she call you a distasteful b and she kicked you out your her wedding, and she said your engagement party was just to throw your wedding in her face. But she got she got proposed to before you did, and you were happy for her. And then you got proposed to three months before the wedding. Now she mad at you, and then you said, well, she didn't know what your husband was. Now husband had intended to ask you to get married at her reception.

Girl, she would have burnt that whole center.

Down if you could do that.

I was happy because she was like a sister to me. Wow, this woman ended our friendship, kicked you out the wedding. It's been two years and I've had a wedding without her, and I feel like a part of me is missing. I want to make peace and get some closure, but she still won't talk to me. And my husband said I should leave it alone because I don't need any person in my life that's that selfish and can cut me off that easily.

Your husband is.

One hundred percent correct, and it took you thirty years to see that she was hateful and selfish, and now your husband come along and it has proved it to you in one notion. I've had plenty of time to think about this, and I can't understand what I did wrong. Lady, You ain't do nothing wrong. I'm about to tell you in a minute what this all. My husband said, he proposed when he felt like the time was right. He had nothing to do with her, cause men don't think like that. I'm gonna do it three months for her girl's wedding, and that'll really put me. That, ain't how dudes? They so let her go? Should I keep trying to reach out to her and let her know I was not being vindictive? Or should I let it go and keep praying for her? Well, you should let it go. Keep praying for her part. I'm beating with that too. I'm done with all this.

I don't.

I'm not really that good a Christian. What I can pray for people that don't like me don't? I don't really do that. I just I don't know how. I haven't developed that skill set yet. If you don't like me, I don't know how to pray for you, if you don't put me out your life and all this here, I don't know how to pray for you. Maybe one day God to get me there. But right now I'm cool with it because I like people who get out of my life.

Thank you.

Now, let me tell you why this is all happening.

It's because you have what's called a one sided friendship. We have all been in one sided friendships. Every adult person I know can think of a relationship they were in and after a while they went, wow, this is a no benefit to me. I'm always there for them. They ain't ever there for me. I'm always calling checking on them. They don't ever call checking on me. They all always come borrow money from me, they don't pay me back. We've all had people like that in our lives. These are called one sided friendships. I've had them before, and I've learned how to spot them very quickly and it's real.

It's a couple of tell tale signs.

If somebody call you and the call is always about them, you need to think. If somebody always calling you to tell you what's wrong with them and what they need, but don't ever ask you how.

You're doing or what you need, you need to start looking at that.

If you always happy for them but they ain't ever happy for you, you got to start looking at that. Folks, this is just bending into a one sided friendship. And that's exactly what this lady had right here, a one sided friendship.

And why you would want that back? I don't I don't know.

You could form relationships with people who are not hateful and very selfish. And listen to me, if she was your best friend, I sure would hate to meet your hllities. Lord have mercy, and you need to start learning how to pick better friends. Somebody told me one time, describe your five closest friends. And I did that one day and he said, now you finished. I said yeah, he said, now you've just described yourself. I said wow, because you know what friends ain't like family. You get to pick your friends, and you pick people that you are similar to that you get along with that, you enjoy their company.

So think about this, y'all. Describe your five.

Closest friends or associates, and you are now describing yourself.

And I'm grateful that I've grown to learn that.

But you need to move on.

Let her go because she is not She's of no benefit to you. She's nothing but poison you thirty years to realize this. Why would you invite her back into your life as she's being extra She puts you out the wind. She won't talk to you. What you need to talk to her fault. All she doing is showing you how hateful and selfish she is. She showed it to you for thirty years. What you need ten more. You ain't talked to her in two years. That thirty two years are proving you right?

I'm like, I'm like my buddy to engineer Dave, our engineered Dave. Dave said it best.

I have not wanted somebody to get their ass with more. I just won't Mike to have one more glorious moment. Now, what this kid has never fought is a real fighter. Before everybody, his fault has been mma, so basketball player and all his hell and dudes are not really boxing. Mike is the first, but Mike is fifty seven. He'll be fifty eight. That's my only concern. But I'm gonna tell you something. The first two rounds, while Mike got his legs and his energy and then faints to steal fast, it's gonna be two rounds of pure hell for Jake Paul. I think, and if Mike can catch him with that left hook, if Mike can get that upper cut on him, if Mike can get one of them three of them body shots in to make him blow win because he's not been hit by anybody like Mike Tyson ever in his life. Mike is not a joke. But you not seeing nobody fight back. That's my only concern is his age. My only concern. His skill set is pure area to Jake Paul I can.

Take twenty seven. He's twenty seven, Mike, Mike, but he don't. He got four years boxing. They got rules, they got rules to this fight.

It is sanction. This will go on their record.

Okay, Brown's gonna be two minutes. The round's not gonna be They're gonna be two minute rounds.

That's better.

Okay, Now they don't have ten rounds, they're only fighting eight round I understand. Okay, Now they got fourteen ounce gloves instead of team This is gonna play a factor.

That's what Fike. Coming up at the top of the hour, A woman needs some advice, Steve. She says there's money involved and she doesn't have a lot for her family vacation, so she needs your advice. Right after this, you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show Cassandra on Facebook rights. My siblings are planning a big family vacation with our parents, and they're asking me to chip in for it. The problem is they've been saving up for this for years, and I hadn't been planning and going. But they're making me feel guilty for not contributing. It's a lot of money that I'd rather use on things that matter to me, but I don't want to look selfish. How do I tell them I'm not interested in helping to fund the trip without causing a family feud.

Well, you don't tell them you're not interested in helping fund the family vacation. You tell them you can't afford the family vacation. See there's a difference. You got to fix your wording. I don't want to help fund it. I need other things. Just say hey, look, I'm sorry, y'all. I just can't afford it. Too much stuff has come up. I got this pending, that pending, and if I spend this money on vacation, I'm gonna be in a world of trouble.

So forgive me, but I can't.

I just need some help if I'm going, and I don't even think I'm gonna be able to go that all I want to go, but I just can't.

It don't look like I'm gonna be able to go. She doesn't like her family very much. Your family vacation with her parents? Wow? Okay, well we have time for another one, Steve. This is from Kevin on Steve Harvey FM. Kevin says, this question is a sad one, but my wife and I are beefing about how to handle it while she gets on her feet after graduating from college. Her twenty three year old daughter is living with us and she has a pet cat. Yesterday she went off on a seven day trip with some girlfriends, and today her beloved cat passed away. I think we should tell her, but my wife doesn't want to because she thinks it'll ruin her trip. She's even suggested just burying it and telling her that it ran away. I think I feel like she's an adult and she can handle it. What's the best way to deal with this? How would you say?

Is?

See, I don't know.

You know a lot of people take their pets real serious, so you got to handle this kind of ginglement.

I think the truth, even though I like the lie the cat ran off.

I like wife wants to tell. The wife wants to, but I.

Think it's best in this people have to learn, you know, this is life, it happens. I think you should tell the truth that the cat died and.

This was number then how they care?

This was number nine obviously, because this one, this is pretty final. He just sucked up eight of them, and I think this was not. And obviously we didn't know about the other eight, because this is it. Your cat is dead.

This was number nine.

Obviously, that's how your dog.

Yeah, because I'm you know, in case, we need to put some humor in it. I don't like cats, no damn way. So that's really the best.

I could do. Advice. They asked specifically for your advice, So why.

Would you ask somebody that don't care about cats.

He's supposed to know that.

The guy that wrote the letter, he was okay, would his dilimma?

What's his real dilimma? He wants it's him and his wife. His wife wants to tell her that ran away the john. Your daughter lost the cat, but the daughter went on vacation. And when she went on vacation, okay, the cat died. The daughter but she's twenty three, she's fall.

Man, you gotta tell a baby, your baby, baby Whiskers, it's gone.

But she's on vacation. They don't want to tell her while she's on vacation. No, they think it'll ruin her trip.

It will wait till she come back, telling her name, bringing the cat back, thinking, wait, wait until she come home down.

No, No, this is what you do, wait till your daughter come home. So, how was the trip?

Mama had a good time. We was in the water, we was splashing, we were playing it. We had a good phone, and everything differ. And then don't don't say nothing and just and then wait till her because she gonna say, Mama, where is Whiskers?

And just go, well, baby, we didn't want to call you. We didn't want to call you.

Hey, let me do this right here. Let me say this to people as my clothing remarks. I want everybody out there that think about this. Whatever you're dreaming about, whatever God has placed in your ma imagination, whatever your hopes aspirations are, I want you to think about this. Today is the perfect day to start right now. It is the one thing that you have in your life, and that is this moment right here. This moment was granted and gifted to you by God.

Start.

Start thinking about your moments that you're blessed with. Start think about the time you've been allocated. Start thinking about all these moments that God gives you with. What are you doing with it?

Well? Start?

If God has placed it in your imagination, that is the life God has for you. God places your life in your imagination. Albert Einstein said, imagination is everything. It's the preview to life's coming attractions.

You know what that means.

That means everything you see in this world came from somebody's imagination.

Everything.

If you have something in your imagination. I want you to understand something clearly. This is God showing you a preview of a coming attraction he has for you. That's what your imagination is. It is not hocus pocus. It is not some of some random thoughts that go by. God places things in your imagination to show you a preview of a coming attraction he has for you. Why is it that you keep dreaming of climbing the corporate ladder? Why do you keep seeing yourself as a supervisor. Why do you keep seeing yourself owning a business. Why do you keep seeing yourself driving a better Why do you see yourself with a second home. Why do you imagine yourself running a corporation. Why do you imagine yourself finally doing the thing that makes you happy? Why do you keep imagining having more money?

Why have you dreamed.

Repeated me about what it would be like to be wealthy or rich?

Do you know why?

That is?

Because that is the life that God has for you, and he places it in your mind in the form of imagination. Disney was built on imagination. Out of space. Science is built on imagination. Nasau was built on imagination. Somebody imagine this the tallest build in the world came from somebody's imagination.

Now look at this world we live here.

Who has ever thought of anything greater than planet Earth, the stars, the galaxy, the universe? Who made Niagara Falls? Who made Victoria Falls? Who made the Last Quarter? Who made the deserts? Who made the Mohave, Who made the Grand Canyon? Who did that? Who made the glaciers?

Who did that? Man? Can you imagine? Who created every bird you see?

Do you know the imagination that God has to creators wonders that we see? Imagination is everything. It's the preview to life's coming attraction. Stop sitting in your life and not pay attention to your imagination and get started today. Somebody say, Steve, you know, look, I've been wearing this hoop thing. I went and bought one of them hoop things. Right, It's a whoop that you wear on your wrist and it helps you determine your sleep pattern and how much recovery time you need, and tells you every night how much sleep you need and mine I always say you ain't get enough sleep. It'd always say that according to my whoop, I'm a walking piece of trash right now, according to my whoop, I got to go. When I go to bed tonight, I got to sleep fourteen hours because I'm in a sleep deficity according to my whoop.

But I feel absolutely wonderful.

And you know why I feel wonderful because I've discovered something about sleep. When I sleep, I dream. But in order to make them dreams come true, I got to wake up and go to work. So once I have the dream, why am I steady layering here sleeping? It's time to get up and make these dreams of reality. Man, do you know that God is in to make your dream come true?

Business?

Y'all? So everything you're imagining, do you know God created you for that life? He really did, man, God created you for that life. Why do you think you seen people having it? Because God made him for that. God made you to have a wonderful life too. God created you for you to prosper.

That's in his promise.

But you have to make the forward steps. You can't ask God to bless you if you ain't doing nothing. What he gonna bless He'll put his finger on it and touch it, but you got to give him something to touch, y'all.

You got to start today. Stop delaying your.

Dreams and your visions, your aspirations, and your imagination and put them into play today.

Come on, y'all, God got a great life for you. What you waiting for?
