Y'all know what time of y'all don't know y'all back all suit on, looking back to back down, giving the mother like the looking buck bus things and its cubs doing me true good it. Steve har listening to me to other for ste please by, I don't join joined me to be doing me. Ha. You gotta u turn ing the You gotta turn to turn them out. Got to turn them out, to turn the water the water. Come come on your back at it. Huh. I shall will o coome morning everybody you are listening to the voice, Come on now dig me or one it only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Thank God for it all the time too. Well, here we go today. Since this time of the year, I want to share something with you that I'll help you because it's helped me. You know. I was telling the story once that this magazine called rob Report, that that was a statue I used to see for years. I started buying Rob Reporting magazines years ago. So I just wanted to see what affluent people did, you know, just wanted to see what people with means did, what type of investments they did, what they bought, you know, what they traveled to. Rob Reports just like, Oh, it's like a big boy toy magazine. You can see what causes out here. I didn't have money for none of it. I was dreaming, though, you know, I just wanted to see. And there's a statue inside this magazine of this man who was coming out of this bronze rock. And he was completely bronze, and he was muscular, and you know, he didn't look nothing like me, but he was a man coming up out of a rock. And he had a huge hammer and a chisel in his hand. And as his body from the waist up was coming out of this huge piece of stone, you could see where it was him who had been chiseling and forming himself. So the name of the statue was self made Man. And for years man I said, Man, I'm gonna get a big house one day, and I'm gonna put that statue in the backyard in the corner. That's gonna be my little spot where I go chill, because I'm a self made man. Well, after years of working at because I'm somebody and having reached a degree of success, I would have nothing to do with that statue. There's nothing about that statue that appeals to me. Anymore. Because on my journey and in my quest to become what I thought would be this self made man, why I could put this statue and had a statue in the corner be kind of cold symbolizing it. I had made it. I realized on my journey there's no such thing as a self made man. That we all need help, and that God places people in our paths along the way that benefit us oftentimes. And it's the most unlikely person oftentimes, and the most unlikely way that He presents these people in front of you. It's crazy how he does it. Man. And so this is a statue now that I look at and I go, I see what the creator was saying. And that's cool, but not not for me, because I needed help and I've learned a lot of things like this along the way. And at this part of the year, the part I wanted to share with you all about this is you've got to develop You've got to develop a sense of purpose. Now, notice what I said. I said you have to develop a sense of purpose. I didn't say you had to go out and figure out a purpose. You have to develop a sense of purpose. That's different. See your purpose, it's created for you by God. Because when he created you as an individual from whatever two parents you may have, that's not important here. When he created you, he had something in mind for you. You follow me. Now, When he created you, he had some than in mind for you, and it was a purpose. God has not created a single soul to become a criminal. God has never created a single soul to be a drug dealer, to become an addict, to become an alcoholic, to become an abuser, a molester, a Cheatah, He didn't create none of this. This came about through some decisions we made as sinners and we stayed in that place. But see what he created us, He had He has a wonderful idea for us. But God gives us human beings this thing called choice, and we have the power to decide. So you can decide if you're going to adhere to the purpose that God created you and made you for, or you can go ahead and make some choices on your own. So like, if God wanted to give your life and give it to come to you and give you life more abundantly, and that's his promise. If you come to him, if you use him, then cool. But if you say well, this ain't moving along fast enough. I'm gonna get my own life of abundance. I'm gonna start slinging. Well, guess what now, Tad. You've made a decision. And see God's decisions and choices the one thing I learned about them from Bishop Kenneth Oma, God's decisions, choices, his voice, it has no sin in it. Ain't it amazing how many people it came up to you and say, the Lord wanted me to do this to you, and I'm doing it. That God is punishing you, and I'm doing this to you because God gonna see that you get your day. Who is this person? Who is this person that God all of a sudden gave this authority and power to God? I didn't get at the nobody, man, nobody, this person don't have a right to hold you to your past, the right to make you pay. So who makes them pay when they make mistakes? Because they all make them. So when I say you have to have a sense of you have to develop a strong sense of purpose. That means you have to strongly get in touch with your creator to find out what the purpose you were created for. See, it's two things that I had to learn along the way my career. My career was what I was paid for. My calling is what I was made for. See, it's two different things, folks. It took me a long time to learn it, and some people never really. Some people think that they calling is to be a performer. Well, that's what you paid for, and a big part of your life is your performance is tied directly to your gift. But what you made for, though, what you made for is to bring about some significant change in another human being's lives because we are all linked together in this chain. That's what you are here for. Everybody has a purpose to do something wonderful, meaning for or impactful for another person. Show me the person that's not made for that. I just want to know who isn't made to do that? Who isn't made to do something that will affect the life for the betterment and improvement of another person or people. You think the guy that invented the airplane was merely inventing the airplane so he could fly. No, his purpose. His purpose was to become an inventor, to come up with this invention so he could fly and we all fly. See. Sometimes God will make you successful so you can become successful, so you can turn around and teach other people how to become successful. God save people, so you can turn around it tell other people how wonderful it is to be saved. You see how this thing works. That's what we have to do as people. And it's nothing that we have to go and discover. We have to go and develop it. But if you haven't discovered your purpose, it's simply because here's it. If you haven't discovered your purpose is simply because you have not contacted the creator and maker of your soul to ask and find out why you were created. It's as simple as that. If you buy a Toyota, there's an owner's manual on the inside that will tell you everything you know, how to best operate your Toyota, how to make it work, how what to do? They got a troubleshooting section. Your faith is the same thing as an owner's manual in your car. Open up that bulk man, find out how to jumpstart your life, how to troubleshoot it and get on with your life and find out your purpose and develop a strong sense of purpose this year. All right, okay, cool, you're listening show, ladies and gentlemen, today it's going to be different.

President Trumps signed executive order in which he says will protect free speech at colleges and universities receiving government research money. However, while the new order does call for schools to promise to uphold free inquiry in order to qualify for billions of dollars in federal money, public college is already required to uphold the First Amendment. President Trump, though, raised the possibility of withholding government funds. You may remember from UC Berkeley two years ago when that school canceled an appearance by a right wing speaker. They cited security concerns. A Florida man named Caesar Sayak has pled guilty to sending a wave of pipe bombs to CNN and prominent critics of the president. Sayok faces the possibility of a life sentence on sixty five criminal counts, including weapons of mass instruction and the illegal mailing of explosives with intent to kill. He's to be sentenced next month. He had been sentenced to go on trial this summer in charge that he mailed rudimentary explosive devices to sixteen targets, including Bill and Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, several members of the Congress, foreign President Obama, and even actor Robert de Niro. Sayak's been held without bail since last October. He was in court the other day and he was really blubbering. A Justice Department says that the white police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black man Untilso, Oklahoma, three years ago, will not face civil rights chargers. According to The New York Times, if Feds say they were unable to find enough evidence to prove that Betty Joe Shelby willfully used unreasonable force when she killed forty year old Terrence Crutcher, who was a church pianist. Shelby claimed that she only killed mister Crutcher because he reached into his car and she said it looked like he might have been getting a gun. However, video of the incident shows mister Crutcher with both hands raised above his head when Betty Joe Shelby shot him to death. Nevertheless, the jury acquitted this cop of a first degree murdered man sol to charge. She sent quit the force and she's teaching in the academy.

You're listening morning show, all right, y'allhoo reporting guys, a new poll that finds fifty nine percent of couples say that they suspected their partner of cheating if they suspected them, they would discuss the matter with them rather than jumping to conclusions. I'm going to say that again for the lateies. Okay, fifty nine percent of couples say that if they suspected their partner of cheating, they would discuss the matter with them rather than jumping to conclusions. Okay, cool, Let me ask you a questions, Shirley and Colum, Now, let me ask you a question. Just listen to this question. If you suspected your husband of cheating, and it was not on the internet, nobody knew, none of your co workers, it was not it wasn't made public. If you suspected your husband of cheating, would you bring it up calmly? Would you bring it up with anger? How would you do it? Probably? All of the above for me without the calm though you're already nowhere, coming bigger, all of it, all of you above, for me, without the calm anger. If I suspected that not yet? No, well, I mean, if you had suspicious you ain't have no proof. You ain't you ain't heard nothing, you ain't got no pictures, ain't no ain't on internet, and none of that. But Steve, you know we have intuition. You know we have intuition. You disappointing to you, mister Harvey. I don't know. I'm just trying to see what y'all would do. I don't really And and the word discussion I have a problem with. There will be no discussion. Well are you gonna just find out on your own first? Like little CUSI let me ask you a question. Suppose you discovered that you were wrong about him and that he was it cheating? What happens at that point?

Here It is the straw Barry letter. Subject. She is making me want to fight her. Here Stephen Shirley, I am a wife and a mother of two children. I've been married for eleven years to my wonderful husband, but I recently found out he had been cheating on me for a year. I found out when the woman started calling me. She told me that she was taking good care of him when he is away from home with her. I confronted him about it, and of course he denied it. I prayed to the Lord to show me the truth. As time went on, I never told him that I was still receiving calls from the woman. She even sent me pictures of my husband naked, so there was my proof. He finally came clean and apologized. I was so hurt and angry. I loved and trusted him. He told me that he had been trying to stop seeing her, but she was threatening him the whole time. Well after she sent the pictures to me, he finally left her alone. Gave him and we're working on our marriage. But we still have our moments. The problem is now this heffa won't leave him alone. We have been We've both changed our numbers and blocked her on all of our social media pages. My husband has made it clear that he does not want this woman. He said he was just in a bad place at that time. What should I do. Now, I've already beat his behind? Should I beat hers? Too? I'm tired of her? How can I get her to leave us alone? Please help? Well, that's one way, maybe if you do beat her behind, Since you beat his behind, I'm not opposed to it at all, But and I have to tell you this, it's really not your responsibility entirely. Okay. I'm not mad at you, and I do understand if you want to fight her. She's taunting you, she's stalking you. She's throwing her affair with your man up in your face. You have forgiven your husband and taken him back. So what is he doing to stop all of this? Is he just reaping the benefits that you know, he slid by this affair and he was able to, you know, slide back in with you. What is he doing to stop it all? I mean, you know there's things called restraining orders. Is he helping you at all? Or is he just turning his back to the whole thing. I blame him for a lot of it, especially the fact that you know now that you've taken him in, he's back in your good graces and he's doing nothing. So to me, he needs to stop you guys need to need to do it together united front. Let her know that this is definitely not the way you want to continue in this situation, Steve Shirley, I think you missed a piece of information here, Darling, she said, Darling, that album will go back over the letter. But she said that what he doesn't know is that she's still contacting him. Oh so he don't even know about all this. Well, he knew he slept with her, he knew he had anywhere. I'm gonna get into that I didn't miss that, which you may. You hold him responsible for all this, So nothing he can do it's gonna fix it for you because you have us, you have up. Damn Sully. This man ain't cheated on you, but you're taking it on as though he's cheated on you. Let's be forgiving, no, Shelly, you just sent me a scripture this morning. This morning. Your scripture was to forgive people the way that Christ in Heaven forgives us. But there's no forgiveness in your heart for this letter whatever. So let me take another approach to this. Yet, my wonderful husband, this woman says, found out he had been cheating on her. Now a wonderful husband. That's just at the top of the letter. After that, he did bat out of hell. He might as well just gone somewhere. I found out when the woman started calling me. She told me she was taking good care of him when he was away from home. See this, it's a dandy hell for him. She ain't got to do that, but she trying to pry him loose from you. This is a skank move. See she number two trying to be number one. Rule number one for number twos. Number twos very rarely ever get to be number one. It can happen, but rarely is what nephew, this is for you. See she told me she was taking good camera when he was away from home. I confront him about it, and of course he denied it. Yes, yes, you he had to. You first gotta deny because you gotta balance yourself. The first line that we always tell ladies is to gather ourselves. We got to gather, they say, because of all you surprised because you've been caught. Yeah, yeah, Claudia been calling me. What Claudia? She says, she takes good care of you. When you Claudia, clock, who the Alice, Claudie? You know who the hell Claudie is. I don't know. No, damn Claudie. She said, what now, she'd be taking good care of you when you over there? What you tell calendar? I don't know her name is Claudie? She right there. I don't know this health. So now I prayed to the Lord to show me the truth. And as time went on, I never told him. He denied that. I prayed to the Lord show me the truth. So as time went on, never told me she was shoot. She even sent me pictures of my husband. Niked. This is where now we got to come to the realization that we know Claude, because why is you over that neked? But see he fell asleep at the spot. Come on, come on, work at the spot. I fell asleep. She took a picture of me while I was naked because I drank some of that green tea and I didn't know. I went to the doctor. I'm allegic to green tea. Yeah, it puts me out. I'm the only person living that green tea makes unconscious. So I fell out naked. Too many lives, so that was my proof. He finally came clean and apologize, and we'll continue the letter right at all right. We'll have part two of Steve's response to this crazy letter at twenty three after you're listening show all right, Steve, come on, let's go with part two of your response. His wife and mother too been married eleven years. Wonderful husband found out he was cheating on a woman was calling her, telling this woman, I take good care of your husband when he away from home. She's trying to pry him loose. She number two, trying to become number one. She confronted him. He denied it, as he should, because there is no proof. You cannot come clean right away. You must gather yourself. He didn't call, are you calling huffle? What you calling huffle? You knew what this was. You knew what I was mad? What you're calling huff on? He didn't have it out with him. He denied it. I prayed, never told him that I was still receiving calls from what. She even said pictures of my husband naked. Now is where the walls is caving in? Your asses naked? But of course you're not at her house, so you're at the spa. Yeah, just come out the steam room and that Steve Treen, that steam room and green teeth. It had knocked your ass. Towels and rogues at the spot I drink that tea. I couldn't get you that time, So stee when your ladyship pushed the phone in your face and say is this you? What do you do? That is not me? I don't care if my ass is jacked up in the air with my so security number stamped on my ain't me. You're just denying it. That's just that's that man's photoshop. They got that. Naw, they got that. Naw, that ain't even my thing. Look at umber stamped yea on my ass. That's not me. So now here, let me go on with the letter. Uh so that was the proof. He finally came clean and apologize. I was hurting, angry. I loved and trusted him. He told me to hit the part where he got good at He told me that he had been trying to stop seeing her, but she was threatening him the whole time. That's the truth, and that's a good one. Yeah, y'all trying to stop, but this he every time she was gonna tell, so I kept on going by there so she wouldn't tell. And you know she was telling the truth because didn't she call you? I tried to avoid that. So anyway, that was the man in me trying to stop. So finally after she sent the pictures to me, he finally left her alone because now we know this health of crazy together now see the number two crazy now but crazy sexist is good, that's what's wrong with it. It's good. So I forgave him and we're working on our marriage. But we still have our moments. The problem now is this health won't leave him alone. We've changed our phone numbers, blocked on all our social media page and my husband made it clean. Does not want this woman, He really don't. He really don't. He just made a mistake. He getting it together. He said he just had a bad place in time, been a bad place at the time. I've been I've been that for a year for a year, yeah, yeah, a bad place for about tens It can happen. I've had a bad place for about whole year. I was in a bad place for damn the ten years. Yeah, oh, it can happen. I was waiting to whole team. Yeah, now what, I just had a bad place. I've already beat his behind. Yeah whatever whatever, how they't go for you you ain't doing. Should I beat her too? I'm tired of that? How can I get her leave us alone? Now? Should I beat her too? I think you should? Yeah, yeah, see, I think you should. But here's some smarter ways to do it, because they no need you getting in jail. The group you just saying, now, listen to me. Here's a d Facebook hub posted on her Facebook page that she is a cheetah and a husband stiller. Oh man, that's good. Posted on her job we brought in social media that she Yeah, this is how you get rid of somebody, that she is a husband stiller and a home record record and it's ruining the lives of two babies. There's a term for that. Go ahead, star, would it be no? No? When you when you shame someone publicly like that, can you get in trouble for that? No? Hell no? I think you could do that. This email her employer, oh man, see notify her church. That's that's posted in the lit him read it in the church announcers. Yeah what yeah? Who? Because it's easy. It's easy. It's easy to have a church. Yeah they got they ain't got good firewalls. You could just drop this information in that sister Bernie Ferguson is a cheetoh a home record. It's ruining the lives of two babies trying to take their father from me. Yeah, and just you could get on social media. You do her on social media? Ship stopped. She can't stop all in post see go on her face, find all her friends. Now you're sending everything to her friends. God, has this happened to you? What just somebody just sending stuff to about stuff? Oh no, I'm on tabloids, I'm on the grocery show. You ain't got it. You ain't gonna get you, ma'am. Yeah, you go to damn grocery shore and you gonna just want a candy bar assing your face. You ain't got open up your damn Facebook can He's just off the hook. An'tybody did that to me on social media? You ain't got I'm just up in here of slow dogs down. You want some gum man. I get sick of my sisters calling me with the old lass. But my sister Mowna, she good. I'm praying for you baby. Ain't none of that true. We don't believe about that, baby, bro. We know how you is. I'm gonna stump that hell for when I see it, though, my sister mona man, he's off the hook. Huh huh, he's off the hook. She took him back forgave him. Well happens to him. Well, something has already happened to him. He's paid, Shirley. See y'all, y'all want to keep making a man pay. But the man pay. The man is paying her year out of my life with cheating on her. He didn't take a year out of your life. You were still living now, Your life was going on. You just ain't know what was going on. He didn't take a year. Surely the man did not take a year out of your life by cheating on you. You had that whole year, but now I was still shopping. You don't get it back, Shirley, see you evil read Joe scripted, Let's go to break. Surely you're listening show and yeah, look that I don't think you're I don't think you're getting He's getting his just due. This woman had to go through all this. Yeah, maybe she didn't know about it. She knew something we haven't intuition. Of course, she's been married to her, she's been married to him for eleven years he cheated on her, and now this woman keeps taunting her, stalking her. And yeah, the number two as you called her, and nothing happens to him. She took him back, she forgave him. He's good, but she hasn't still deal with it. Surely a lot happens to a man. First of all, not enough. He got busted. He got busted. He didn't lose any lambs. She didn't. Not the man, she said, she the man gotta hit it this saying, and what he catching at the house behind this because in the letter that ladies said, but we still have our moments. Oh yes, Oh, and who you think is providing when they come from see? So that's her. He ain't off scott free. But you are unforgiving, Shirley and unrelenting, and you are the last two scriptures Shirley sent me on Sunday. Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly. That's John. Yeah, I'm just going what's the problem. But I'm just going to look at your scriptures you've been sending me. She's not going by none of them. She ain't went by man one of them. Man just a hypocrite, just sending thank you, Carla. I am not a hypocrite. And he gives off scott Free. She scott Free gave him. But the woman still bothering her. But that's the right as a result of what he did to her. Oh, let me back up and throw something in the mix that ain't out here yet. What what fought in this? Could the woman the wife? This is not her? He had to go on. I didn't say it was junior, junior, But let me ask you a question. Quiet, let me ask you a question. And I don't think that women should take on the blame of husbands and men who cheat up. That's not I'm asking you this question, though. But there are times because let me explain something to you, as I did in the book that sold so many copies that helped you with and once again being hypocritic, hic. So let me say this to you. That is a section in there that I write that the three things a man has to have loyalty and love. Yeah, you have to be loyal to me. You have to love me. Number two is support, and number three is to cook him. Now, let's just say at your house you're not getting one of those three. Pick which one you'd like to discuss your loyal so you're not being loyal anymore. So you're dogging him behind his back? Are you cheating on him? You could have cheated on him in the past, or you talk about him behind his back. You don't support the man, So that means you should go out and cheat with another woman who sends me naked pictures of you. That's what's going to happen. No, listen to me. It's not a solution. But if you are trying, if you're not getting something at home, I'm just telling you the truth. Thing. I can't believe you're trying to make this out. I'm not making it out. If you're not getting something at home, you gonna go get it somewhere. Okay, period, that's how I'm well. Okay, he did that, she she took him back, she forgave him. But now this woman is still bothering her, all right, So that says that's because of what he did to her. Absolutely Okay, So then he needs to pay. He needs to pay. She needs to beat his behind, she needs she beat his behind behind, she beat her, she needs to beat her behind. I'm not mad if she does that. Group and neither are you and neither are you, Steve Harvey, Shelley, I have another group. I can't believe you're making this out to be the woman's fault. No, listen to me. I'm not making it out a cheater. He just a dog cheater. I just threw out what if to you? It don't justify what he did. But I'm telling But when you say that, it sounds like you're defying. It sounds like it's really a strawberry letter. That's no justifying for cheating. There's no justification it is. It is a justification for cheating. There is a justification for cheating, Shirley. It's a justification for cheating when women do it. Yeah, yes, of course it is. Excuse me, did you just say there's a justification for when women cheating. Yes, because but they can't be a justification for when me and ch right there? Are you kidding me? It's a double standard, Steve, It's double Do you agree that they are double standards? Double standards? Okay? Then I rest my cake? What what is going wrong? That's some illogical You're trying to go in an argument with me? Woman crazy. I'm so sleep tomorrow about this. I'm so sorry, thank you. He's wrong, He's wrong. He long they've been married for eleven years is wrong too. Yeah, contacting this wife and trying to make her miserable and remind her of the affair that her husband had, she needs her behind and and she wouldn't have done it runs for him cheating with her. This is all his faults. Yeah, I got that creating scriptures that I that I sent to you, and there ain't you're not being understanding of this situation. Not and and I and I'm not understanding unapologetic. Surely I just told a woman how to fix it Facebook. This woman on home, tell all her friends what she did posted on her job. Well, maybe she'll write us back, Steve, and email on her employer and notify her church. I'm not an evangelist. Oh no, she's not, because she don't do nothing. She care that that is not true. Sure to take a week off, sineme script and get yourself to God. You need to go up in the mouth, whatever, man, whatever, Just make sure you read those scripts, merchant. When I read it back to hear it, we'll be right back after this. You're listening to show. Carla wanted to ask you some parenting advice. You said, you've been a parent for thirty six years. What you got, Carla? Okay, so listen to this, Steve. My friends, a lot of us are parents. You know, we hang out, we do things together with our children. So the latest discussion, you know, we have young kids. So the latest discussion is you're an expert at this. At what age should you teach your child hotter, cuss, curse, or say bad words. Well, well, you shouldn't teach them. There's no age when you should teach them bad because bad words are not necessary. It all depends on circumstance and environment. Custom is an environmental circumstantial thing that you had to be able to participate in. And every circumstance and all environments do not require cusom you need to be able. So it's not a good time for the situations will bring out the child when it's necessary. So it's not for you to decide I'm gonna teach my child cousin. I never taught any of my kids to cousin. My father never taught me to cousin. I just picked it up. Okay, So you overheard it, and the decision to use custom a little bit more regularly. Was somewhere around nine, Yes, nine is when I started implementing YEA. By twelve, I was you know, I wasn't. It wasn't really fun. I'm good. It wasn't. I was just throwing it out there. But I had a lot more situations, and all I got the more useful and more timely, and more situations presented themselves. So that's how I did it. So I don't say that there's an age that you give a child, Okay, And here's why I'm asking this because I know a lot of people look uncomfortable with this question. But it's a different time for these kids and going into middle school. It's just been tough with a group of people that we hang with with their kids. So they were saying they want to teach their children how to say blank, you be get out of my face in a situation of bullying and bullying. Yeah, So yeah, I don't. I don't think it's necessary. See you are here's the problem, caller, your little crew that y'all go to school with. Y'all suburban parents, y'all, y'all from the hood. Yeah, but y'all have become suburbanized and you all are suburban parents. So now you've you've trying to remain bushy and you're trying to live up to your status status in life now. But you're calling and you're trying to know where to implement hoodism into your kids. And your kids don't really need that, and so you've got to teach them other ways. I don't recommend teach seriously, do not recommend teaching cousin to kids, because I mean, it's gonna backfire here. Yeah, you know, I mean you don't teach them negative behave? Now? Did I teach my children take care of themselves? Yeah? But I found out I was doing it for no reason. Somebody hit you. Everybody go down there. My kids ain't down the street fighting and then come home and you go get all your brothers and go back down there. What kid? On a matter of fact, the house too, damn fall Wait, they're not at six Flags like China, right See. I wanted to tell my sons that, but they went to school where they ain't fighting. They ain't fighting you. They talk about your own own instagrams. My daddy took me to get my head for my could ever said that was your training? That was it? My daddy took me over there because we were They weren't fighting in my neighborhood, but over there, my cousins every they ever said by twelth, yeah, get my butt tore up. How you grew up, It's like you said, how we grew up and how we're parenting and how our children are growing up. It's just it's two different worlds, and it's and it's some parenting that just doesn't apply today, and then a lot of it does, but you all have removed it because of your new way. But your kids are suburban kids. So when the bulleting goes down at school, how do you teach them how to cut? You ain't gotta teach them out the cuss. You gotta get the bullet out your face. You don't get the bullet out your face by cussing. There's a physical activity that can get the bullet out. If you don't want to teach the physical activity, then you got to go with something else. But bullets don't respond to get your blankety blank out my blankety blank. They don't because they bullets hell. They don't. They want told you I've been to put my blanketing blank in your blanket now you STI what's your comeback? See, it's hard to outcuss a bullet, So you got to teach your children the other things. But I don't recommend teaching your children how to talk bad to people because that doesn't work because it's just talk and eventually it wants you talk bad. You had to bag some of it up. Did your parents have put motivation behind you behind the bullet, like if you don't wolve his, I'm gonna be old us. Yeah, that was the motivation I had. Let me run again. Yeah, yeah, what you're crying for? Yeah? Yeah, come home crying one. I'm gonna give you something to cry about. Then I'm gonna take you down there.

The study found that those were the long term partner weighed on average twelve point seven pounds more than single people. What what, and showed an average weight gain of three point nine pounds per year. And it could be that eating with someone leads people to eat larger portions and more calories. Or it could be that since they don't have you know, they don't have to impress anyone, you, Uh, couples just kind of let themselves go. Yeah, what's it. It's when you out there running them.

Something could have happened to him. I'm gonna call his girlfriend. Don't do that, all right? Job when we come back, last break of the day and Steve's closing remarks, you don't want to miss him. We'll be back at forty nine after you're listening. Steve, what do you have for us? Closing remarks? Wise today, Yeah, here's something that I think is very helpful to people, and it would have helped you open yourself up to really what God truly can have for you. And the reason I'm saying that is because oftentimes we limit what God can do in our lives simply by the way we think and simply by eye expectations. God has no He's limitless. You can't put him in a box. You can't put what God can do for you in the parameters of your thinking. What you've got to do is You've got to open up your mind so you can be open to all of His goodness and what He can do for you. And I'm saying that to say this because a lot of times people ask God and only think about stuff that they can see themselves attaining. Basically with your check. There's a scripture that says you have not cause you ask not. Well, then most people go, Lord, help me make my rent. And then I have to ask you, well, don't he always? Why would you not ask God for a mortgage? Well, become a homeowner. Then here comes the thinking of man when you start putting in stuff like well, I don't make enough money, my credit score, I haven't been on my job long enough. I can't afford that. Therefore, why would I sit up and ask for that? See, you're knocking yourself out of so many blessings that God can have for you by your limited thinking. Because God has no limits. So you have to open up your mind, so you have to start thinking of things that is in your imagination. Why would you not ask God for a big house? You don't think that God got enough sense? Based on this scripture, you have not called your ass not. Most people don't ask because they don't see no way they can get it. You don't think that if you ask God for a big house, you don't think he got enough sense to make a way for you to get the house. You don't think that he knows that you need more money and that he know how to make a way for you to make more money. You don't think he got that part figured out. You think he needs your help figuring that out. You don't think that he know that if you got an X amount of dollars, your credit score really don't matter. You don't think he know that He know all of that. But you've limited to see what he can do and how you can move in your life because you won't think big enough. That is a book that changed my life. The name of the book is called The Magic of Thinking Big, and it's by David Schwartz. It's the Magic of Thinking Big and I didn't understand this until I was selling Amway. Amway was one of the greatest periods of my life because it introduced me to all positive books. It introduced me to self motivation and self help books, and those are really the only books I read outside of the Bible. I don't read anything. I don't read novels, love stories. It ain't got no time for that, but the power of positive thinking about Norman Vincent Peale Thinking Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz. I have time to read that because the Magic of Thinking Big taught me something. It taught me that it does not require any more brain power to think big than it does to think small. It doesn't require anymore. You ain't got the grunt look. You can say Voteswagon, or you can say Rose Royce. It doesn't. Your brain don't have to shift and burn most sales, and you gotta throw yourself into something to say Rose Royce versus Votswagon. It doesn't hurt more to say rent or mortgage. It doesn't hurt no more to say new card than used card. It doesn't hurt more to say hand me down than it costs such than it cost you to say brand new. If you buy this book The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz, it's an amazing way. It changed. Ain't my thinking in my twenties, and so I started thinking big. Once I started thinking big, I started opening up to the possibilities of God. Because God is big. Am I not right? God is big? So why would you get in the way of his bigness with your small mindedness. See, you're getting in the way of your blessings by the way you think. You keep thinking in terms of your paycheck. Get God ain't in your paycheck. Get out of your paycheck, man, Get out of your current situations. Where you are it is just temporary. God has another place for you. God got a great life for you, but you got to invite him in and let him show it to you. Quit wasting his time with this little bit of man. Get out of your own way. You are in your way with your limited thinking. People ask me all the time, man, why are you always at the meetings? Why are you? Why don't you just sit out and take your day off? Because I can't get where I'm going sitting down taking my days off. I'm about the business of becoming successful and happy. Now. Am I successful? Yeah? Am I happy? Yeah? Happier than I ever been? But and I have everything I need? Can I tell y'all that I don't need nothing else? But I'm in the wrong side of life. I just won't. I'm not greedy. I'm not asking you to give me nothing. I'm willing to work for other things. I want. I want to see how the other class of people live. I want to see what that's like. I want to see what it's like when my grandchildren's children will remember my name because I left them something, because I created a legacy that I put money away from my grandchildren and my children's children. That's what I'm working home. You can do that. God is capable. Get out your way. This is the book again, y'all, The magic of thinking, Big boy David Schward, go by, go by, just go by it. They change the way you think. Just check it out. It's really really great book. Those are my clothes remarks. I have a great weekend.
