Y'all know what time of y'all don't know y'all back a suit on, looking back to back down, giving the mother like the moking buck bus things. And it's cost me true good at Steve has listening to move together for Steve. Please by I don't join joined me to be doing me. Have you gotta use turn be hurting the You gotta turn to turn them out. Got to turn out, turn the water the water. Come come on your back at it. Huh. I shall will a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey. I got a radio show him just trying to give God some back, just some back of what even gave me, just a portion, you know. Just I'm just trying, man to to show some type of gratitude for all his blessings. I'm just trying to man, just just get it right sometimes, you know what I mean. I mean, man, you just can't do what you want to do and just live wrong all the time. Man, you got it at one point in time, Steve, come home. Man, come on, man, you could do better. I know you can, you know saying and you know what I had to do I had to stop saying I'm gonna try to do better, and I just had to say, hey, man, I'm going to do better. You know, trying it's just to put forth in that and then if it don't work, well, okay. But if you make up in your mind that I'm going to do something, then trying isn't enough. It's getting it done is the only thing that matters. See, it's the difference between doing and trying. We're gonna try to win the game, or we're gonna go out here to win the game. Now, trying to win the game means that you could lose. But when you got in your mind made up, most athletes will tell you that they go out there with the full intent and purpose of winning and winning only see they don't put the second place finish on the cover Sports Illustrated. Second place don't get you there. You got to win. And now take it out of the scope of athletics, but keep it in that type of type of analogy in life. Man, you just want to you want to win in life, don't you. I mean, at the end of the day, don't you want to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated the life don't you want to be recognized for your hard work. Don't you want, you know, to be recognized within the bonus structure down at your job. Don't you want to have your plaque up on the wall down at your job. I mean most people do. Some people could care less. Some people don't care about looking good or being their best. And that's cool, But I ain't talking to them though. I'm talking to you. I'm talking to those of you who want to be the best you can be. You know, people kill me when they're getting mad at at people here and he Brown knows and he hall up on an employee at them all. Man, the dude doing his job to the best of his ability, and he getting recognized for it? What they got to do? It all that you're talking about because you ain't up there. It's amazing, man, how people describe other people's success. He's so lucky, lucky? Hey man, Don't they kind of get you a little bit when people call you lucky when let me tell you what luck really is, y'all. Luck is when hard work bumps up into opportunity. Some people call that luck. But hold on, let's think about this. If you wasn't working hard an opportunity presented itself. What would you call that? But see, when you've been working hard, an opportunity presents itself and it bumps up into each other. Now people want to call that luck. But hold up here, go to part though to day, ain't paying no attention to Yeah, that opportunity came by. But if you had not been working hard and the hard work had not ran up in the opportunity, what would you have? No, sir, it's not luck, it's work. It is work, because as a scripture that says, faith without works is dead. But my mama was a Sunday school teacher. She taught me enough. Though now I know different between right and wrong, just like you do. You ain't gotta you know. Itcused me when people write a strawberry letter? Am I wrong for this? You know? Good? Well, look at let's read your letter? Are you wrong for this? You know you're wrong? What you don't need that's to be telling, you know? But I'm gonna do this anyway. Well, e see, go ahead, though, do what you want to do. But you know what, y'all, here's the best advice I can give you. This is what I really came to talk about. This morning. But I got sidetrack because I listened get out of your own way. So many of us are blocking our home blessings. We just in our own way. We are in our own way. And one of the most dangerous ways you can get in your way is to do it your way, to get it figured your way, and to lock in on your way and just the way it's got to go. Do you know how many people are blocking a blessing? Do you know how long I blocked mine with that mindset? Right there? Look, because it's the way you do it, Do you think that makes it the right way? You think jazz because you didn't thought on it long and hard, and that's what you really want. Do you really think that your way is the right way or could that be a better way? See? Until I started listening to God and started paying attention to his way, man, I was spending my wheels. Man, I was out here so determined this how I was going to do it. But you know, I had to learn how to get out of my own way because just because I could do it my way didn't mean it was the right way. I had to get out of my own way. Just get out your way, man, Now, what what does that mean? That means see set your goals, That means have your dreams. That I'm saying, set your goals, man, I ain't saying don't set goals. Listen to me. Set your goals. What is it you want to happen? What is it you'd like to have? What is it you like to be? What are you aspire to? Set your goals and set your dreams. Now, take your goals and your dreams to God and ask God to show you how. Man, you can save yourself a lot of pain. Listen to somebody who did it his way for so long. And when I finally got out of my way, out of my own way. When you've heard old people say let go and let God, you've heard them say that I didn't. I didn't get it, but I got it. Now let go and let God. And it's amazing little saying. Though now you know you may not. I get it now. It took me a bunch of years to get it too. But when I took my goals and my dreams and my vision to God and I said, God, this is what I hope for, this is what I aspired to, this is what I want to be. This is why I would love to get to Then I said, help me, show me how point me in the right direction. Let me follow your footsteps, guide me and give me a spirit of discernment. Show me who wrong? Because I meet people every day. Ain't up to no good with me every single day? Oh man, Man, I can't believe I run up into you. Man, the Lord told me something's gonna happen to me today. Well, see, I talked to him every day. He did not mention you to me. He ain't said nothing to me. He didn't tell me what was gonna happen. In mind. Now, I don't mean it can't happen because I'm open to it. So really, man, I'm and and please no, I'm listening as well as I've ever listened before. But but get yourself together, though, see no, your goals and your dreams, and then let God show you how to do it. He'll do it. You know. It's so important everybody, that you get focused, that you aim for something, that you dream of something, that you aspire to something. But it's the most the best thing you can do. After you do all that, Man, get God involved in it. Man, talk to him. I mean, why would you not what you got to lose. You ain't got to go down there and make no big scene and run laps around the church and run up there and throw yourself on the altar and scream and flip over and throw money in the air. You ain't got to do that. This you and God, man, This you and God. You know you got to serve and praise him the way you do it. You gotta let nobody else tell you highs done. It's a personal relationship. People kill me if you don't do it this way. If you don't come here to this church and you don't run around in this circle and you don't get flipped in the air, you don't, Hey, man, you better go have a relationship with God. See what that's about. You understand? Nobody throw you off with all that? All right, all right, y'all talk to him. He loved to hear from you. Today.

Come on, gentlemen, miss when we are no, no, and trip everybody. Okay, this is a trip with the news. Thank you. President Trump arrived in Ireland yesterday, expressing his respect for the Emerald Isles. This trip is really about great relationships that we have with the UK, and I really wanted to do this stop in Ireland. It was very important in me because of the relationship I have with the people and with your Prime Minister. And it has like a golf resort there too. Today he's in France because today is June sixth, that's right, internationally known as D Day, or the day that the US, the British, and the Canadian troops landed on the French coast at Normandy in order to dislodge the Nazis from France, and as Queen Elizabeth noted yesterday, the strategy won the day, but was nevertheless very costly in terms of casualties. Seventy years ago, hundreds of thousands of young soldiers, sailors, and ammon left these shores in the cause of freedom. Many of them would never return, and the heroism, courage, and sacrifice of those who lost their lives will never be forgotten. Many dignitaries will be in France and Normandy today, the marked at seventy fifth anniversary. By some estimates, over four thousand Allied troops were killed that day, another five thousand or so left wounded. In Florida, judge says that a sheriff's deputy now under arrest for not doing anything as a gunman was shooting and killing students and faculty inside of a Parkland High school last year. That guy's going to remain in jail until he surrenders his passport. After the shooting, Scott Peterson retired and moved from Florida to North Carolina. Peterson faces eleven charges. If convicted on all of them, he could face as much as one hundred years behind bars. The US Supreme Court says it will not consider the federal sentence given to a white now former South Carolina cop who killed an unarmed black man in twenty fifteen by shooting him several times in the back. Michael Slager's lawyers appealed to the nation's highest court over his twenty year prison sentence. Slager's a state trough of murdering mister Walter Scott ended in a hung jury, and Slager pled guilty to violating Scott's civil rights because he was hoping to get a lesser sentence. However, a federal judge sentence Slager based on the underlying charge of second degree murder. Saga claims that's unfair. Well, the first jury couldn't decide. Well, the High Court says, no, we're not going to weigh in on that. That means the thirty seven year old slayer will remain in prison until at least the year twenty thirty four. The homeless problem in Los Angeles growing. The results of the annual Homeless Council that some fifty nine thousand people are living on the streets of the city of Los Angeles. A twelve percent jump from over last year and today is whatever days. So sometimes sometimes you don't back to Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to show, all right, Junior Golden State Warriors and taking their beef with Drake to new levels? What is going on where? You know Draking? Uh push your t had a beef last year. You know, both we going back and forth over dis tracks and everything. And so the Golden State Warriors played Pushing T dis track you know, the story of Edition in a pregame playlist while warming up on the court last night in orc Arena, which did not help them because Toronto took the game one twenty three to one on nine.

Coming up next at thirty four after the hour, more backlash, more fallout for a Central Park five former prosecutor Linda Fairstein. She resigned from the board of her alma mater right after this. You're listening to the Steven show, all right, everyone's talking about the Netflix series When They See Us, which tells the story of Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana, Antron McCray, Yusef Salam and Corey Wise. Also known as the Central Park Five, The series by filmmaker Aver DuVernay re examines the accusations, the false confessions, and the aftermath of the case against the boys, who were teenagers back then when they were accused of raping a jogger in Central Park. Former prosecutor Linda Fairstein is now facing a new round of backlash and criticism thanks to the Netflix series. Linda Fairstein, who is played by Felicity Huffman, is portrayed in the show as immediately convinced of the boys guilt, despite no physical evidence linking them to the scene and descriptions in their confessions that didn't match the crime scene. After Mattea's Riez, a serial rapist, confessed to the attack in two thousand and two and DNA confirmed his account, the men were then exonerated. As we mentioned, the backlash continues. Linda Fairstein has just resigned as a member of the board of trustees at Vassar College, and there is also an online push to boycott her bestseller crime novels and her books. So there you go. They're they're just I mean, you know, it's not a lot they can do because they those boys, their men. Now they can't get that time served back. But um, you know, yeah, yeah, I gotta watch it. Yeah, it's called when they see us. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't know what it was. I saw the billboards and then I saw and they pretty much excuse me, they pretty much stuck to the facts. Oh yeah, but it's their life after they get out that really disturbed. Yeah. Yeah, how they had to be treated. Yeah, and they see the city, right, and they got like forty one million dollars, Yeah, forty one million million. Because the system looked at him as if they were still guilty, and they would not admit to them being guilty. Yeah, you know, I go to the meeting like high, I'm a drug addict, I'm something. No, they wouldn't need to I'm a rapist. They would not admit to that. They would they would not. They didn't do it. They called earth those confessions. Out of them, those they said, only two out of the five boys even knew each other. It was crazy. Yeah, these kids didn't even know each other. They don't tape lying about the other boys. But he couldn't even remember their name, right right, Yeah, and Corey Wise we met him surely at the Circle of Sisters at our home station one or seven five in New York. I remember we had a chance. Yeah, we had a chance to meet and talk with him. Very very nice guy. And he was very young. He he was one of the youngest ones. They were like seventeen, really young. But yeah, Carl, I had forgotten all about that until you mentioned it to me that we have met him. I do remember that young man, very very I mean, after all he's gone through. He wasn't bitter or anything. And listened to the show Steve, they do light this whole thing, man, Yeah, and it wasn't Donald Trump. Didn't he have a lot to say around that time he got a full page and yeah, yeah, stopping I remember, yeah, you know, uh, there's part for his cause those young men, um man. Sadly, it happens to so many people falsely charged. I remember I was fourteen fifteen. If you got shot in the hood where we lived, and your parents or grandparents was around, and they knew it was like not too deep in you, like in your leg or back yond. They took it out at home because they didn't want to take their sons up to that hospital because you know, you got to report any gunshot because prosecutors try to build cases back in the day like they do now, and it wasn't no forensic size. They would put cases on dudes. Wow wow. So a lot of times, man, if you got shot in the hood and it didn't look like it was deep, they tried to get the bullet out at the house instead of taking you up the end. End did come to the police with that okay, duke they was pulling. It was a lot of that. Man. Well, when when you think about watching them, when you think about watching it, oh, I'm gonna watch it because the day you watch it, make sure you ain't got to go nowhere, because if you see somebody, you won't get mad. Yeah. But you know what I am. I am glad that this story is finally made it to the man stream of people where people can really get the truth behind this story, because that was just a terrible just blotch on this country.

Dear Steven Early, I need your advice, but I pray that you are not too stern with me. I am a thirty one year old, successful and beautiful woman with two children, ages three and one. I am not married, but I am involved with a married man. It's my sister's husband. They have been married for twelve years, and I started sleeping with her husband five years after they were married. My two children are actually his, My sister and my Oh you go take miss Sloan. I told you, I told you this letter right here. I'm trying, I know, Okay, three and one. Yeah, she says, I'm not married, but I am involved with a married man. It's my sister's husband. They have been married for twelve years, and I started sleeping with her husband five years after they were married. My two children are actually his. My sister and my family members have no idea that I've been with this man for so long. Years ago. She was sleeping with him for five years, five years into their twelve year marriage. So seven, yeah, all right. My sister and my family members have no idea that I've been with this man for so long. Years ago, I started lying about dating a guy that lives out of town, and I told them that it's a crazy relationship, so they don't need to meet him. They do think that I take the kids to see him though. My sister's husband, he is the father of my kids, and he was happy that I could give him a family. After they found out that my sister was not able to have children. He has taken care of my children and I since day one. We have a house and a pretty comfortable lifestyle. He and I have been on yeah but right, there's more all right, And he and I have been on family vacations together with the kids, and I'm not sure why my sister has never suspected us. I was worried that my three year old would start talking and telling it all, so I had to limit the time that I let my children stay around my family. Now that I have two children by this man, I want him around full time. So I gave him an ultimatum. He said that he would never leave me, and he would never leave my sister. He said, the arrangement works and there's no need to mess it all up. I am so in love with this man, and I am willing to be truthful about it all in hopes that I can have him to myself. I know we are wrong for all of this, but we have a chance to make it right. What do you think he buy it or fight for this man? Please help? I'm with you, Steve. I was through. I was threw away about halfway through this letter. Really, when she said she's sleeping with her sister's husband. This has to be the most trifling letter I think we've ever gotten, and we've gotten a whole lot of trifling letters. But because, yeah, because you are just clueless. I mean, you're you're just clueless. You said it's wrong. You know it's wrong. Your brother in law, slash man is cheating with his wife's sister and he has two children with you. Why why would you do this to your sister. I don't understand why you would do something like this. You think you're helping because she can't have kids and you can. Yes, your children are gonna start talking and calling him daddy. Yes, So now you're gonna you're involving the children by depriving them of their father and their family because now you have to keep them away. No more family vacations. And like Steve said, where is this house? Your sister never comes to your house. This is when it's okay to say uncle, this is okay man. I mean, think if your brother in law had kids, they would be cousins and brothers and sisters. I mean, you're so in love with this man, you're willing to be truthful about it all in hopes that you can have him to yourself. That's not gonna happen. That's not gonna happen. Yeah, you're wrong for all of this. You don't have a chance to make this right the only way you There's nothing you can do to make this right. There's absolutely nothing you can do. What do we think? We think you're crazy? We think your brother in law man, he's crazy. Should you keep quiet or fight for this man? Fight for him? He's not even yours to fight for. This is your sister's husband of twelve years. I don't understand. I really really don't understand where your head is and all of this because you say, you know, you know it's wrong.

And now they do think that I take the kids to see him though, So I want to hear this. See, this is what I want wanted to learn. How did your family think that you take the kids to see him? And your sister's husband knows he's the father of the kids, and he was happy that you could give him some kids. After he found out that his wife, who is your sister wasn't able to have children. Now I've noticed how you started to weave this story to start to start adding so it can make sense to you. So my sister can't have kids. He's so grateful that I was able to give him two children. But this dude is screwing his wife's sister. Man, y'all trifling? Man? Okay? Then, and my sister's husband knows that he the father the kids, and he was happy because I could give him a family after they found out my sister wasn't able to have children. See, so now she trying to make a life. She hadn't done a service, and I'm doing something good because he wanted a family and he couldn't have one, so I gave it to him. He'd took care of me and the kids since day one. We have a house and a pretty comfortable lifestyle. Wait wait, wait wait we have a house where Yeah? But and what do they think you take the kids too? He and I have been on family vacations together with the kids, and I'm not sure why my sister has never suspected us. Wait wait a minute, how do you go explain this to me? Because I'm dumbfounded?

Do the kids ever see him with hub? What y'all doing Christmas and Thanksgiving? What the hell is going on here? How long you think you and you keep talking about should you fight for this man or just be quiet? You ain't gonna be quiet with this too much longer. These kids they don't know this little crazy story you didn't wolve. I was warried that my three year old would start talking and telling it all, so I had to limit the time I let my children stay around my family what not there? Because they they think he is daddy, but he is they daddy, But he they uncle daddy exactly. Now I have two children by this man. I wanted him around full time, so I gave him an ultimatum.

We'll get back into it part three right after this at forty six after the hour you're listening, all right, coming up at the top of the hour, we'll get into more of the show with Cheryl Underwood. But right now, Steve, we want to get back into the Strawberry letter subject keeping It All in the family. This year old woman who claims to be beautiful, successful has been seeing a married man. The married man happens to be her sister's husband. She's had two kids with this man. They've gone on family vacations together, she's nervous that the three year old was gonna start talking and the baby will right now to three year old, ain't got the words for a check, but five oh yeah, oh yeah. She didn't have it together a minute. He has taken care of you, as her and the children since day one. They got a house together and pretty comfortable. They haven't been on family vacation together as with the kids. I'm not sure why my sister has never suspected us, which means you've kind of not cared, well, not no, kind of you have never gave a damn about what your sister think or feel because you want this for yourself. Then you said, now you got the two children bodies man, you want him around full time. So she wouldn't and gave a man an ultimatum. He said he would never leave her and he would never leave my sister. He said, the arrangement works, and there's no need to mess it all up. This thing is unraveling, as every time we read it, it's unraveling. So listen to this. I'm so in love with this man that I'm willing to be truthful about it all in hopes that I can have him to myself. Wait, okay, lady. First of all, let let me explain something to you about that statement, in hopes that I can have him all to myself. He ain't never gave himself all to no one person. You don't. You don't recognize that. You don't. You don't, don't you don't. You're not looking at that statement. I want him all to myself, but he don't want to be all to himself with nobody he doing it? Now, you're stupid. You ain't gonna be truthful about another day. You ain't about a damn thing. I'm gonna have him to myself now. I know we are wrong for all this, but we have a chance to make it right. He ain't. He stopped saying that we have a chance. You said you was going in there. He told me you ain't going in there. But now I say a damn thing. What do you think? Keep quiet? A fight for this man? You can't fight for something that ain't cho or should have told you that you can't fight for this man. He ain't cho us. All this is a disaster. All of this is wrong on so many levels. You have no idea that damnage you have done to an entire family structure. You have no idea, lady, and there's nothing we can do to spare you from the misery that's coming down your street. For this hanging there, get prayed up and ask for forgilt, that's all. And take care of those kids. Those are the ones that are really gonna suffer. All right. You can email us, you know, Steve Harvey FM, or listen to the Strawberry Letter podcast and Cheryl Underwood is coming up next right here, right after this you're listening to. All right, Steve, introduce our girl. She is here, Udies and gentlemen, without further ado, Shirley, Steve Harvey, Listen, President Trump's is out of the country. Okay, listen, Well we need to do right now. We need to go change all the locks at the White House. You need to let all the air out, the ties of Air Force one, they all need to come back, you know what I'm saying. So while he over there, why don't you just stay over though. But this is what I don't understand. I don't understand. They got the polls out where they say fifty four percent of the population believe that Trump's is gonna give reelected president. That's just sound like they not gave up already. Now we can't get the impeachment inquiry. They need to start it. See back when Nixon and the water Gate, Nixon had like I think he had it, like a sixty five percent approve of rated and then when they did they impeachment inquiry and all that stuff start coming out in all them earrings. Then people start bailing on Nixon because they knew what the real story was and they couldn't save him. But they told him, Hey, we can't save you, so you need to resign. Why am I telling you all of this? Don't give up now. If you don't like Trump as the president, do you? First, we need an impeachment inquiry, and impeachment is not gonna happen overnight. But you need to dig into this. You need to find out how the Russians took advantage of the fact that the thirst is real with Trump. He wanted to be president that bad that he could take help from our adversary, which in my opinion, means you should not be the president. You know what I'm saying, And you damn sure should not be presenting us now when you were talking about you wouldn't go to Vietnam, and this is the week where were celebrating what is yeah, seventy five year Listen to me, that's not what the commander in chief does. And now and then we got to figure out not just how we get this dude out of office, and if we can't get him out of office, then we need to vote him out of office. But then everybody say, but we don't want Biden, We don't want Biden. Why we don't want Biden? You know why you don't want Biden because everybody think they can win this. Biden is the dude that got the highest numbers in the little poem. Okay, so obviously somebody like Biden. Black people like Biden because he was President Obama's vice president. So why don't y'all stop tripping Democrats? And why are the thirty five of y'all that's running. Why don't y'all rock paper scissor this and decide who's gonna be the vice president and let's get on with putting this dude out of office if that's what you feel now. Last for not lest everybody talking about this high amendment and everybody talking about when women got the right to vote, well before that it was the fifteenth Amendment that gave men the right to vote, and then people sold us out. See, we gotta go back and study our history. While we believe in and supporting everybody bought ourselves. There was two amendment's Fifteenth Amendment, nineteenth Amendment. Then they start doing stuff to black people, so we definitely could not vote. Now let's talk about abortion before I go. And this is me talking not to Steve Harvey Morning Show. If you don't know anything about Fanny lew Hammer's life, then you need to study who Fanny lew Hammer was. Fanny lew Hammer was a civil rights person that got what they called back then Tommy Junior caller, Shirley and Steve a Mississippi appendect to me, what did she get? She got a histor direct me, she got sterilized without Hussey, so for a minor tumor. That's why she was saying that abortion was genocide. We don't all think alike, we don't all act alike, but we got to come together so we can protect our rights. So don't tell me, well Biden supports the High Amendment, Let him feel the way he feels. Because we got the worst president in the history of mankind in the White House and we're still fighting over who's gonna take this dude out. We don't need to be fighting over that. We need to come together and if we don't like him, as Americans, vote his ass right about the White House while he overseas on. Sorry, did I go to far Steve? I'm sorry, girl, perfect you, Thank you, Sue. Don't even look good with a tight vessel with its old lord embarrassing us. I just he the worst, and I'm a Republican in our case that get old Lord.

When she sat down with Van Lathan from TMZ. Everybody knows Van from TMZ, Well anyway, he has a podcast, Ava revealed that she finds it slightly shady. She says, first of all, I have a real issue recently. I've been getting called on Twitter Auntie Ava. Why she said? Am I that old? Because I don't feel that old. Van tried to explain that fans use the term out of respect for what Ava brings to the culture. While she can appreciate the concept, she wasn't having it. Naturally. Social media weighed in and made Auntie a trending hashtag. Ava joined in to let everyone know how she prefers to be addressed. For the record, she says she happily responds to miss DuVernay, sis queen Ava, miss Ava. Okay, that's auntie. Forget about it. No, no, no, So see if you deal with this all the time I can. Uncle Marjorie gets called a Marjorie. We're cool with it. You cool with it. Let me step in right here. Uh Okay, uncle comes from a niece or a nephew. Okay, that's when you say uncle or auntie. If it's not your uncle or your auntie, then guess what. Guess what it's not yours? You your own? Damn what I'm about to say? How you feel like that? Because I call him? Time? Ain't damn Uncle Steve? No, he says some time. Why where is your uncle's there? Right well, right now? He over there? Next you? What you no? No? Where is your uncle? How many uncles you got? How many uncles you got? Jim? This one right here? No? How many? Oh? My real uncles like Faither's brother by seven? Okay, are you proud of any of them? Not reading? This is the problem. I'm proud of this one I got sitting over here. This is the problem. Who's the prophet? Everybody? Uncle? Get your own car? Hold on time? Wait a minute, won't don't. Why is you so possessing because this is my uncle. I'm the one that was born put a rich ass uncle. And if you wasn't, that's just that's just you just didn't get one. Well, I'll tell you what timing you can't whoof the world as all right? Look coming up our last break of the day, and we'll close out the show with some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey at forty nine after the hour. Right after this you're listening to all right, Here we are live break of the day. It's been a crazy day as usual the time we like, right and here's our fearless leader to take us home with closing remarks. Today, I just want to pose a question because I try to find different ways to motivate people as as I ask God to help me find new ways. Today I just decided to try this. I just want to ask you a series of questions because I'm just trying to get everybody to get to moving towards their dreams. I'm just trying to get everybody to get started on the pathway of accomplishing your visions and your goals and your dreams. It's going to take some action though. You know, you can't just want something. Have you ever people say if you want something bad enough, it'll happen. That's not true, that's so not true. Do you know how many times you've actually wanted something really bad and didn't get it? What? Who? I don't know who said that? Why? Why they tell people that if you want something bad enough, it'll really happen. It can happen, No, it won't. It requires an action. Faith without works is dead. If you don't do anything, you can't stop expecting to get everything. If you don't do anything, you can stop expecting to get everything. Now, God is going to give all of us some grace in spite of our shortcomings and lack of effort. He will give all of us some grace, and we'll all get some things that we really don't deserve. You know. It just provides us breaks. But in those breaks, he's trying to sustain you, just to get you to say, wow, man, if I had just done a little bit more of what could I have had, or if I had done a little bit more of what could have happened. So my question today for you, it's just I'm asking you a series of very, very simple questions, maybe four or five you're waiting for? What? Tell me what is it you're waiting for? Because oftentimes when I talk to people, I get some responses that just throw me off, you know, because what you're waiting for? What? What is it going to take to get you started? What is the motivation? What is the button? What is the trigger that fires you to get going to moving towards your dreams and visions? You're waiting for what? I don't understand. Are you perfectly comfortable where you are right now? Have you decided and settled in that this is it for me? Have you gotten tired of waking up and asking the question, whow It's got to be more to my life than this? What? Have you just gotten tired of that and you don't want to deal with it no more? So you just decided what that You're just gonna lock in like where I am? It's cool? You all right with that? Let me ask you another question. Have all the ducks ever lined up in a row? Because if that's what you're waiting for, let me just ask you. Has it never been set that while I see exactly step by step, I'm gonna ge down, gonna get everything is perfect. I'm gonna start now. If you're waiting on the perfect time to start, you may never start, because there is no such a thing as the perfect time. The perfect time is now. That's the perfect time. If you're waiting on something else to happen, it probably ain't gonna happen because you gotta figure like this. Suppose it don't happen what you're gonna do, then, see, you just got to come to that conclusion. Suppose it don't happen what you're gonna do. Then suppose you don't get to degree what you're gonna do, then you're gonna fail. Suppose you don't get that job that you got your eyes on. So you don't get that job. So now what you unemployed the rest of your life because you didn't meet that deadline. You can't make another one. You're waiting for. What what's it gonna take to get you started? Have your ducks ever all lined up in a row? The answer is no. The perfect time to start is now. Let me ask you this question. Does it appear to be getting any closer even though you're not moving towards it? Oh? Does it appear to be getting any closer? Even though you're not moving towards it. The answer is no, it's not getting closer because you're not walking towards anything. If you don't walk towards something, please stop expecting it to get closer. It will not happen. Success is not a magic trick. It's a series of steps that people take over and over and over and over, and in spite of what happens, they take those steps. Anyway, Does it appear to be getting closer even though you're not moving towards it? It's probably not. But could that be why you're not getting what you want because you ain't moving towards nothing? Last question, Could it be that you just don't want anything more? Maybe that's it. Maybe you don't quit wanting a new car. Maybe you don't quit wanting a bigger house. Maybe you don't quit wanting that second home. Maybe you quit wanting to open up a business. Is it that you just don't want anymore? Just answer to these questions. Now, let me tell all of y'allself. Put God in your life and it can change all of this. You can go to God and ask God to strengthen you. You can go to God right now and ask God to give you the desires of your heart, but enable you with the character to make him come true. Ask God to strengthen your character, Ask him to strengthen your will, Ask him to strengthen your stick tuitiveness. Ask God for his help, because God is going to make your dream come true. Business.
