Well a good marding everybody, y'all listening to the voice, come on digging now, one and only Steve Harley got a radio show to date. Um, I wanted to give you something that I've been learning more and more U lately. Um. You know I'm a I'm a huge fan of the book The Secret. But I did myself a favor because I know I learned better this way. I learned better about hearing, and so I downloaded The Secret onto my iPhone. So I got the audio book and man on, man on man, what a smart move that really was for me? Because I know how I learned. You know, I do very well with visual When I can see what it is that i'm after how to do something, I do it better. And when I'm listening, I just I learned better. Like that. I wish I had known that about myself in college and stuff like that, where I didn't do so well. If I could have learned that that's the way I learned, I would have used more tools to help me. But um, let's let's just say I figured it out. And so I'm grateful for that. And and and and I was listening to the audio portion of this book, and I've been learning so much more. I've rephrased a lot of it to fit how I think and more of how I talk. And I just wanted to share that with you this morning. Man. It might help you out a great deal. And one of the things that my mother had always taught me. And because it's a it's a it's a spiritual thing with my mother's it's a biblical reference to my mother. Uh And and the book The Secret grabbed that principle and uses it very well. And it's gratitude. I want to run this by you every every day. You know what I started doing. I started spending my every waking moment, being thankful, showing gratitude. Now, the book it says to put that out there in the universe. But if you're waking up and you're saying thank you, I mean who you saying thank you too? I mean, let's let's let's be real here that that universe was created by God. That is my belief. That's the majority of people's belief that I know. I'm not knocking you. If you don't believe that, do you let me know how they work out for you, though. But so, my thank you is to my heavenly Father, as is a lot of yours. But here's here's the here's the thing. I started saying thank you from the time I wake up till I go in the bathroom, till I shower, till I dress, till I get in my van, till I get to work while I'm on the elevator, until I sit down and crack the mic. Now, somebody, somebody might said, man, that's a lot of time. Not hold up, man, hold hold up, it's really not. Because what it does for you, it does more for you than for anyone else. This is about you showing gratitude and being grateful it's for you, and let me tell you what it does. When I started doing this, man, it started changing my day. It started changing my attitude towards the day. So when the difficulties of the day began, they were nothing to me because I was so filled with gratitude. I'm talking about continuous thanks for all things. You cannot run out of things to be grateful for, not if you fine tune your gratitude, not if you do it in a way where you're being very specific about what you're grateful for. When you wake up and you're grateful for waking up, When you're grateful for the ability to move today, when you are grateful for the fact that you have solid thoughts right now, that you are in your right mind. When you start thanking him for the flexibility that you feel in the morning and the stiffness and as it wears off as you start moving around, that's another reason to be grateful that you have a shower to take that there are many people who don't have a place to shower, That the fact that you're brushing your teeth, the fact that you have somewhere to go, the fact that your job may not be ideally the job you want, but you have a job to go to, that you have a measure of health, that you have a place to go and get a cool drink of water to start your day, or you can make a cup of coffee, or the fact that you can grab yourself a yogat on the way out the door. And the fact that you have a way to get to work, whether it's on the subway, the bus, the cab, or you have the uh the wherewithal to walk to work or you driving to work, and whatever kind of card is that you have a place to be to provide when you start really fine tuning your gratitude, it is amazing, man. And what it does is it puts you in a in a state of mind that is so uplifting to you that it is the perfect way to start your day. I'll think I'm clowning what you here. I am not. Try it. Try it. You are what you think. So you start the day off as this grateful creature, this grateful person, this grateful soul. You start your day off as grateful man on man on man. How good is that? And it just spirals throughout your day and it puts you in a great mood. My mood has totally changed. I'm not a bad mood person anyway, but you know, when my day started getting heavy. Man, Sometimes it gets on me man, because I mean, I'm from the time I wake up till I go home at night. Can you imagine having somebody move you around all day? What it would feel like to have somebody making you accountable for every single moment of your day, The moment you stopped to take a breath. Somebody finds that as an opportunity to spend a moment with you because to them, it's just a minute, but they don't know all the minutes that's occupied in your day. Imagine that. So it used to get on me real heavy sometimes, man. So I try to steal some minutes here, steal some minutes there, steal some man. But now, man it it don't jump on me that way, you know what I'm saying. I look, I gotta take some time to myself throughout the day. So as soon as I get off the air, I take a twenty minute break before I go to my brief and to start my talk show. Uh you say, twenty minutes ain't nothing. It ain't, but it's all I got and I use it to shut myself down, meditate, have a quiet moment, become even more ain'tful. Then after the show is over, I got another briefing that I do. I even I even have my lunch during the briefing. I don't have a lunch where I sit down and I'm in my room talking cheerful stuff. I'm doing the briefing for the second show that I taped that day. During my life. But I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful for everything because, man, I have a show too that keeps me busy. I have a radio show that keeps me busy. I got another TV. I'm just grateful for all of it. Man. And what happens is, let me let me share this with you. It changes your focus because now your focus is not on what you don't have. Your focus is on what you do have. Do you understand that amazing turnaround in your life if you can make that when folks, if your focus became on the things that you do have and your focus leaves the things that you don't have, do you know the feeling of accomplishment, the feeling of satisfy us satisfication, the feeling of being feel and half empty and half full is two different thoughts. It's amazing when you start thinking your life is almost full, so full, instead of looking at it as being so empty. When you change that focus through gratitude, you then open up the pathways for more stuff to come to you. A lot of us are blocking our blessings today because we ain't grateful for the ones we have. See we're so busy, we're so busy telling God and putting out in the universe what we don't have, what we ain't God, that we no longer are receptive to things that we could have. You have now blocked all your blessings from coming because your focus is not on the come. It's to what you ain't got. So how can more blessings come your way? How can a good things come your way? How can positive things start happening to you? If your focus is on the negative things, if your focus is on the things that you don't have, if your focus is on what you're lacking instead of what the abundance that you have and what you expect more of. If you change your gratitude, you change your attitude and it changes your altitude. Man, Man, use your gratitude to change your attitude. Which then affects your altitude. Do you feel me? Now? Come on, man, ain't that a good thing? I've had to rework it to the way I say it, but man, that's been so helpful for me every day. Start your data way. Just try try it starting now, or you want to get a fresh start during tomorrow morning. But watch what happens to you. Okay, it's going to amazingly revolutionize the way you face your day.

Okay, okay, okay, but brother, what we're trying to do, man, we don't want to lose our rate. We don't want the blacks to lose the strength that we have.

Let's buckle up and hold on time. Here it is strawberry, all right, here we go. Subject robbed at gunpoint. It's been a nightmare. Stephen Shirley, please help me. I was robbed at gunpoint and my spouses teenager set it up and watched. My children were there. It was very scary. My spouse never disciplined to his child for this. We don't have a good relationship. Blended families are not easy, but if both adults are not on the same page, it won't work. I've had to deal with disrespect, theft, et cetera. But the icing on the cake was the robbery. Forgiveness is the hope that the past could have been different. I've told my spouse I will forgive in my time. I've been asking God to help me with this. My spouse and I have decided to go our separate ways. He wanted us to work it out, but I refused to live like a prisoner. We have children together, and their happiness is important to me. I've never been rich, but I feel like I struggle more financially when he was in the home. I'm still struggling, and I pray every day that things will get better. Please help me. Thank you. This is really awful. Uh, and I don't understand how this happened with no percussions. A true statement you made in the letter, blended families are not easy. Very true statement, but but really, who expects to be robbed by one of the blended family members? Who expects that? Another true statement you made if if both adults are not on the same page, it won't work. That's really true, and that's why your stepchild wasn't reprimanded for setting up and watching this robbery his dad. Your husband didn't step in and handle it. You're his wife. His kid had you set up to be robbed and then he watched it. Your husband should have handled that. He should be taking care of you, you know what. I'm just really I'm glad that you guys are going your separate ways. I really am. This is not going to work. You're right, Um, it's good to end it here because your husband and his criminal kids have just brought nothing but pain and misery to your life. You should have left a long time ago. You and your kids are better off without them. That's what I say, Steve. I'm still struggling, and I pray every day that things will get better. Hope is the beginning of the turnaround process. Then once you learn how to hope strong enough, then hopefully that turns into faith. Hope. Hope is the beginning of the process. You know, it's it's it's it's hope. Hope means a brighter outlook. That's what hope is. I have hope for them, arow, I hope it gets better. You know, it's usually you're done in a positive way, so I think you're on the right path. I think you need to turn this into faith though, and know that things are gonna get better because you've been delivered from obviously a horrible situation. My spouse is teenager. I was robbed at gunpoint and my spouses teenager set it up and watched right after that. If I was writing this letter, it would just have dot dot dot, and then you'd see a whole bunch of stuff you couldn't read, and be blood on the paper, and it'd be a lot of tails and stuffy be blood on the paper, and then what is it that's where the boy was prying when I was hanging him over. I can tell you a lot that's gonna happen, but uh, your children were there. It was very scary. And then your spouse, who is your husband, never disciplined his child for this. Wait a minute, wait, wait a minute. You got robbed at gunpoint by your stepson. I'm assuming in this blended family that you say are not easy, which is true, yours really ain't easy because they robbing you at gunpoint. I've had a couple of problems in the blended family too, but I bet you one thing. Bet not now one of them pull a gun out and pointed at me and don't kill me. Okay, let me watch this letter, y'all. I really can't even get my You should have you shouldn't. You should have did that this boy. You should have called the police, but didn't understand. No mom wants to call the police and what's supposed to be her child. I do understand that. But this dad who allowed this to happen without disciplining this boy, discipline is on the word. I don't know what. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I can't even formulate my thoughts about this one. I really apologize because normally I'm better than this. But this letter right here, If you're angry, you're upset. Who does this? I mean, how could something like this happen and he not step up? I'm levels, I mean, I don't know where to start with my anger. First of all, this dude set you up. But this is your child, stepson. But did daddy know about it? It ain't did nothing, and he wants to work it out. He wants to work the marriage out. We got you got somebody rob your wife, man, and you watch and you don't do nothing? Body you ain't no man. I don't see why you want to stay with a dude that ain't a man? No damn? What get out now? All right? Uh well, let formulate your thoughts Steve party can get it together coming up twelve after you're listening to Steve Harvey Morning show. Hey, I got part to this letter coming up, so don't go away. All right, Let's get back to this ignorant that robbed the gunpoint this lady and spouses teenagers set it up and watched her children with their was very scary. My spouse never disciplined his child for this. We don't have a good relationship. Blended family is are not easy and what blended families ain't? This though? Um, but if both adults are not on the same page, it won't work. That's another true statement. I've had to deal with disrespect, theft, et cetera. Icing on the cake was the robbery. Forgiveness is the hope that the past could have been different. I told my spouse I will forgive in my time. I've been asking God to help me with this. My spouse and I have decided to go out separate ways. He wanted us to work it out, but I refused to live like a prisoner. We have children together, and their happiness is important to be I've never been rich, but I feel like I struggle more financially when he was in the home. I'm still struggling, and I pray every day that things will get better. Please help me. I can't comment on this letter because I'm I'm really for the first time. I'm so mad on so many levels because the father, for starters, allows this to happen. A man will not allow his wife to be robbed and he witnessed it and know who did it, and don't do nothing. That ain't no man. There ain't no man gonna let nothing happen to his girl like that, and he won't do nothing next level. My son puts my wife at gunpoint. Boy, But that's okay, that's the other level. This might mean me and you going to take this daddy something to a whole another level. That's disturbing the fact that the son sets it up and watches his stepmother, who, no matter how you feel about her, does she deserve that. And suppose that damn gun go off. You know, it's so many levels. And then the daddy don't do nothing about it, and then they're breaking up. He want to work it out. She's struggling with the forgiveness part of it. Man, looking forgive and leave. You can forgive, please get out. Yeah, but see what you will even to do is be a prisoner in the house. Like she said, he's still his stuff. Got a gun point. I'll tell you what though, good point this boy. I cannot kill him and his cool boy had to beat a press charge. Boy had to be and it's cool. I just what a hot whatever whatever age that he is. I got time. Yeah, And she says she's still struggling. We understand that it's over. That you take a baseball back down there and get rid of some of his tension. What to do with the body all right. Today's letter is posted on Steve Harvey dot com. You can also tweet or instagram me your thoughts at my Girls Shirley Now coming up after the break at thirty four after the hour NBA All Star Game this weekend. Who is the greatest basket ball player to ever play the game? Tommy, who you think it is? It's Jordan Jordan's hands down. I love Lebron, but it's Jordan. Well, Lebron is still playing. Yeah, but he didn't done that already. You know what. I'm wait when he finish his career. We'll see. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. Hey, I questioned the day are you getting a tax refund? What are you playing on doing with the money? And Part two, The greatest basketball player of all time? Hey, uh, time to give me your top five best players? Think about it and I'm gonna come back to you, Junior. Give me your top five. I'll think about it. I'm gonna come back to you. All right. We could go to phone, but let me do this right. Save you some time here. Top five basketball players of all time Julie Jordan's, Kobe Bryant, Magic, Johnson Burg and a chem Lash one nice? Wow? How many did you name? Though? I ain't five? Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Madgic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Kim Lodge one wow, Tommy, all right, y'all got a bad women on this now. Jordan's yeah, Lebron, Muggsy Bowl, Spud Webb and Chris Paul. You pick off short. I tried to school with Nate Robinson in there. But I have you said five? Why are you laughing so hard? Just over five? What's Jordan was the greatest player of all time? Bird and magic are one because they made each other. You can't say magic without saying bird. You can't say bird without saying magic. So magic bird is one. You just can't. You can't separate them to man from college when it was Indiana against Michigan State, I mean not Indiana, but the school yet, a little school in Indiana French Lique from that all the way through the part. You can't the one without the other. It's not so. I considered him one. Magic and Bird same, So that's two. Lebron James has done enough to go down in history. Is one of the greatest basketball players of all time. The next most I'm a little torn with this window. I want to give Kobe his due because Kobe asked, man bald he dad, boy bawled man, and he bawled with an intensity, you know. And did did he win a ring without shock? Yes? He did? See See, So I had to get a boy his I had to get that boy head. And then the person that changed the game to revolutionized basketball was Kareem I d Jibal. I just thought that that boy right there, that sky hook and then he eliminated. They stopped dunking in college because of him. You could not dunk because of Kaream. They ruled out dunking. Because of Kaream up du Jibal, they stopped dunking in college basketball. It was the craziest thing you've ever seen. Still, like Elijah one for Jr. I mean, it's cool this. Everybody got their opinion. But Kareem du jaibab no, sir, no sir. When you threw it to him, he was money. He was money man. So Dr J didn't make your five not the greatest five hand. Yeah, he's a great ball, and he's right. I'm talking about what I saw revolutionize the game. Now, if I told you all the real truth. You wouldn't even understand it because you don't even you don't you don't even know nothing about Oscar Robinson. You don't need to understand what he was. So I just ain't even don't need to me throwing that in there, because y'all you don't even know that. You don't even know l Jim Bail. You're sounding mad though, Yeah, you will chamber it boy hunting points in the damn I'm talking about doing ignorant mess. I've seen all that. You don't need to me throwing that in there. Because women, right, that's the one they had. Other women he puts some numbers up, well, had more women than Rodman had points women in his career. Alright, coming up at the top of the hour, we will have Steve Harvey World premiere of a brand new Mary J. Blive song. Okay, alright, this one's called You plus Me love lesson. Mary J wanted to Steve Harvey Nation to get to hear it first, and we will play it at the top of the hour. We'll be back. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, here we go, alright, floats, marching band, street parties and Uh, they're about to converge with slam dunks, three point clays, and buzzer beaters in New Orleans. It's gonna be a lot going on in New Orleans. Yes, Marty Grass, revelers and basketball fans alike, We'll let the good times roll when New Orleans Marty Gras meets NBA All Star Weekend. I love it. Let's go. This is gonna be a lot going on in New Orleans. Yes, Marty Gras, revelers and basketball fans alike, will let the good times roll when New Orleans Marty Gras meets NBA All Star Weekend. I love it. Let's go. Marty Gras is one reason why the NBA's annual showcase is in New Orleans for a third time. When the NBA pulled the two thousand seventeen All Star Game from Charlotte because of a North Carolina law that limits the protections of LGBT people, New Orleans hurriedly put together a bid to host that the full weekend of events involving celebrities and the NBA elite would coincide with the first major Marti Gras Parade was pitched as more of a selling point than a complication. I love it. We were in a good position in that we were already prepared for Marty Gras and already had our special events operations going, uh to kind of plug the NBA into that. Ryan Bernie, a spokesman for our friend Mayor Mitcheland, said in an interview with The Associated Press, I love it. They were already ready for Marty Gras. So yeah, let's come on, let's bring it on down the All Star Game. Okay. NBA owners, officials, players and other dignitaries yet have been invited to parties at prime viewing areas along with historic St. Charles Avenue on Friday night, and they'll have an opportunity to experience Marty Grass like a local. This is according to Jay Cicero, he's president of the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation. What a great way to expose Marty Grass to people who may never have seen it. Said right now, I can I say my husband is on his way. Go ahead and don't lose your mind. He get real brand new though. My husband when he goes home to New Orleans a real different he that's funny, right yeah, with his fellas the guys, Because you know, I went to the super Bowl.

Yeah, yes, really really cool person. All right, Speaking of Mary J. This past Saturday, Mary J performed and warned the audience at the Clive Davis Gala uh that she was not in a good place. Okay, so you know what that means when she's not side. She says I look happy somewhat, but I'm going through some horrible stuff right now. She was about to perform and tribute to Saturday Nights on a re b Et Networks president Deborah Lee. She says, it's called a divorce.

I feel bad because she's got to keep trying to live and do her thing in her career. It's always sad when the other person can just sit and make allegations and attack. Why you out there still trying to make your life working happen. And boy, let me tell you something, when they attack you, they got time. They got time. You know the part that I don't like. Here's here's the thing that has to change in this country. When you sue a person or make a claim against a person and it's of the false nature, and then you go to court and then the one person that you accused gets he's vindicated. It didn't happen. If you find out that you was lying and you bought four false something should happen to you, Something should happen to your You can't just skip your ass on back to the house. Well, I didn't get the millions. I thought I was gonna get nice try and then some damn lawyers sitting up there he didn't invested two three hundred thousand of his money because he's thinking he's about to hit the potted goal at the end of the rainbow. So they all then they dragged you through the mud. Then you get vindicated, then you get to just skip off like ain't nothing happened. That's unfair, man, it is. That's unfair man. I really don't like in divorce, and I've been divorced as well, when the man tries to get money from the woman. You know, I can't like alimony and stuff. I cannot with that. Sorry. I don't care how the woman was or how much money she has you know. Now, let me tell you something. I understand a woman's position. She has children. She sacrificed herself to help you get where you are. You know, she gave of herself. I noticed and men saying, well, we did the same thing, but not actually. Um, you know, you jumped on a banana boat dog and it was full of fruit. Um. I think that women who are you know, domestic engineers and give them themselves. And you marry this man, and y'all build this life together, you know, and then y'all build a life together, and their divorce it's gonna be some ALIMONYA I got that, I really do, but I'm sorry. But a man though, that marries a woman who's already famous, already working, and then you marry into that. And now you want to check, bro, Come on, you want to shift looking for you the rest of your life to get you a barbecue pit man and get out there and make some sense and some money, make some sand. Hey. Sure, it's tough, man, it's tough to get a divorce and still go to work and get all that. It's like somebody died in your life. That's what it feels like. A death. Yeah, And that's what and a lot of people say that it feels like death, like you lose someone. What did yours feel like? See both of them? Oh, okay, let's move on. Be honest. The first woman, it was it was really me. Be honest with you. It's really me, just totally. That's all I could say. It was just all me that first and you were really young. Man. I ain't had nothing, man, I didn't have nothing. I didn't had nothing, guild offer. I thought I had a plan. A couple of things went wrong. Man, I just it wasn't It wasn't hurt, man, it just wasn't. No. I mean, you know, I said it at my daughter's wedding, you know, when I gave my speech, and I think, you know, Marjorie and everything for pulling the family together, and I think Brandon calling for staying together, and I think, but then I turned around and I said, I have to think marsh for raising my daughters the way she did, you know, for taking them to church and putting them in dance class and teaching them. You know, this woman did did all that without me, that in front of all those people. You know, I knew all the people was from Cleveland. I knew. Have her family hated me? I know? Yeah?

What do you think about Draymond Green down their panther, Raymond Raymond Green, The photos are already down now, Steve Hardy Morning Show. I try we back. Let's get to these back to back jails. Cat, let's go right to treat me right, I try. When we come back. We got time for just one more thing. Uh, President Trump will not be filling out the bracket. We'll tell you about it after the break. I don't know what you talked to him. Back down. You're gonna get enough of this him. You're listening, Steve Harvey Morning Show coming up next. We got time for just one more thing. President Trump will not be filling out the bracket this year. All right, here we go, just one more thing. It looks like President Donald Trump isn't just a complete opposite of former President Obama at the polls. He's a complete opposite at the polls to march madness pools. That is. Okay, let's distinguish which pools we're talking about. Unlike President Obama has the past eight years, President Trump will not be picking brackets for the two thousand seventeen men's and women's tournaments. Remember how President Obama used to do that every year and it would be fun and everybody would get into it. Well, not this president. The White House notified ESPN yesterday that the President will pass on making picks this year, saying in a statement, we expressed our interest to the White House and continuing the presidential bracket, they have respectfully declined. Of course, being the shrewd businessman that he is, Trump kept the lines of communication open, having White House spokesman Hope Hicks also mentioned we look forward to working with ESPN on another opportunity in the near future. Still, it has practically become a tradition since former President Obama, who was an avid basketball fan, agreed to fill them out for the men's and women's tournaments and discuss his picks on Sports Center. What's wrong, Steve, Don't nobody kill that he doesn't want to do it? You mean, well, it made the news. I mean it was one of the top stories yesterdayball and he was fit and he could play. And don't Trump play golf? Now? You pudin get to pick in basketball? President Obama play when y'all be together? Do he be telling my putin stack? Reached back. I'm sorry. It's funny, though, Steve. If you're a comedian, these are jokes, you're supposed to laugh. What is wrong with you? Next time y'all golf? And asked him who gonna work there? While he tell me up, surely we have stuff last set up? I can do it? He do me all the same because everybody you know what's coming back done. But the real question is when is we going to Russia? I know we gotta be going. No, we prided in the Russian I know that for everybody, call show. Filling up a lot of this break. You know what I'm thinking? On a big Russian hat. Nice, I've seen him on TV. I won't meet one. You can get a big Russian head. You're gonna need a bottle of vodka to you're filling up this Yeah, I'll tell you one thing. You're filling up this last break way better. You're filling up will at Hall? He is personal. Stop you quit you stop that.
