Y'all know what time to y'all don't know. Y'all all suit looking back to back down, giving them more like the million buck things in the cubbing me true good it Steve harting to move to Steve, Please, I don't join joining you do with me. You gotta turn, h you gotta turn to turn them out. Turn you got to turn them out. Then turn the water the water go. Come come on your back. H huh, I'm sure will. Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Well, I gotta tell you something, everybody, and this is great news for everybody that or share something with your principle of becoming successful at whatever level you choose. It can be successful in the relationship, successful in the family. Successes may be considered to you becoming a homeowner. It could be being dead free. Your ideal success could be sixty thousand a year, fifty thousand a year, one hundred thousand dollars a year. Doesn't matter if you're considering it, if you're wanting it, if you have a desire to become successful. I want to share with you the very beginning of that. If no one's ever done it, I'm going to say the beginning of it today. See Scripture makes it very clear for us you don't The only thing you need to become successful is already inside of you. It's not an external need. God wouldn't do that to you. He puts the core basis of everything you need inside of you. So if you discover it, if you tend to it, nurture it, fertilize it, and water it, it grows, it branches out. Then it reaches out externally and it starts grabbing things outside of there to make it even bigger, stronger, better, lasts longer. But in the very beginning, you don't need anything. It's all within you. And if you cultivate your relationship with God, it comes out, it flourishes. Now, let me tell you that thing that I'm talking about is a God given gift that He has given to all of us. We all possess it. It is all within us that everybody has a guilt. Had somebody told me what I know now back then, I would have saved myself tons of mistakes. I just didn't know the principles. I had to learn them all well. One of the principles of becoming successful is your mind set. You got to get your mind right now. This mindset is simply a decision that you can make. I can't get it for you. I can tell you what to do, but you got to make the decision. You just listening have to decide. You know what, I'm gonna go on and get at it. I'm gonna stop renting. I'm gonna become a homeowner. You know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna stop living check to check. I'm I'm gonna put a budget together. I'm gonna stop stepping out on my family. I'm gonna go home. I'm gonna get it together. I'm gonna stop using you when you make these decisions. That's correcting your mindset. Now. The closer connection you have with God, the more help you get sustaining the mindset. How many times have you started to do something and you stopped? How many resolutions have you made at the New Year and stop by February? Over by me at January? Done in March. Because if you don't have a clear connection with your creator to help you carry out the other force out there, that evil force is designed to get you not to reach your goals, get you not to come to resolution with whatever the resolutions are you made, so he can so you can consider yourself not worthy or failure or unable to do something. But the more things you are able to accomplish, the greater your confidence goals grows. So we got to get your mind set together. Your mindset is a decision that you have to make. When you make the decision, you can begin the process. Your mindset is also a will of yours, a will along with the decision, a will, a willingness to do right, a willingness to change, a willingness to be better. It's going to then cause you to have to make a decision to make a change of direction. Don't go where everybody else going. You got to go your way. Now. You can't follow the crowd. You got to take a less travel path. You cannot do this without changing your direction. You can't keep hanging with the people you've been hanging with if you want to be different because they're not. Then you have to develop an obligation to yourself. You've got to say, you know what for me and my family, or if you don't have a family, for me, I owe it to myself. I have an obligation to myself to be the best to me that I can possibly be, to be the best self that I can possibly be, to be the best father, the best man, the best husband, the best wife, the best mother, the best daughter, the best son, the best student, the best employ ye, the best owner. You have an obligation to yourself to give yourself a shot at the best life you can. That's an obligation. You owe that to yourself. Why would you not live the best life that you possibly could. You have an obligation to yourself. Why would you teat yourself like that? Why would you take yourself and never allow yourself to see the goodness that's already in you, to have the abundance that's been promised to you, to go and explore all the riches out there that's available to you. And but one of the worst ways that you can rob yourself of the joy of your obligation is to keep comparing yourself to somebody else. Because guess what, Man, that ain't your life. You ain't jay z and Beyonce, You're You're not open instead, man, that's not who you are. Quit looking around at everybody else that comparison of everybody else to keep you broken. It'll keep you unhappy. You won't even be able to be grateful for what you have because you steady talking about what you don't have. That's not the way, man. You have an obligation to yourself to be the best you You can be, not the best them. You're not them. Stop trying to be them. Be the best you. It's cool. You got a nice little house. That's cool. You know how many big houses is empty and feel with hate and resentment. I'd rather have a smaller house feel with joy in it than to go to a big man. Prince got a line in a song that says, I realized, in its best disguise, a pretty house don't make her home. Man. Don't you know I know how true that is? So I'm just trying to tell you now. Another part of the mindset is taking dead aim at your life's goals and ambitious What are they? What are your goals and your visions? What do you see for yourself? What do you dream about? If you knew you couldn't fail at whatever it is you were attempting, what would you go attempting? See? That's what we need to be after. We need to get that. If you're sitting there thinking about it, man, it's got to be mold to this. It is. It is that the God in you crying out. That's the seed that was planning in you. That's the gift that's in there that's been locked away for years. It ain't too late to open that door. Man, When is it too late to be free? Ask Nelson Mandela when he was alive. Nelson Mandela suffered twenty some years man, behind the wall. When he got out, he was more powerful, more significant than he was before he went in. Ain't ever too late to be free. It's a mindset. It's a mindset, y'all. It's a decision. It's a will. It's a change of direction. It's an obligation to yourself. It's taking dead aim at your life's visions and goals. Come on, man, you got to get your mind wrapped around this thing. You owe it to yourself to live the best life you can be. Come on, man, God didn't create you to be an inmate. What you're sitting in there fall now. When you make your mistaken you do your time, and you come out. Don't let nobody fool you. Well, I got this. I can't get a job. I guess I gotta go do what I gotta do. Are you stupid? For real? That's the decision you'd made. Nah, man, you're gonna wind him right back in now. Come on, man, talk to God. God got something for you. You just gotta check in with him. You're listening, ladies and gentlemen. Today it's going to be different. I have decided, without conferring with anyone, that today would be a day well, come on, wow, every day think that this? No should not like every day this? Watch this what our food? H but nothing? High right over your own front and waiting. Hey, ladies, hello Steve, stay out the way you try to control it. Do your best? All right?

That's when the most of your fat leans forward and you're able to really see how much fat really is you. So you still so you still reaching behind yourself. Yes, you're retching back.

You're supposed to be sleep And lunch was twenty minutes. It was like working. It was. It was the hardest job I've ever had. Lunch was twenty minutes and you and we had to work on a piece system where we had to develop all these wire coils by pieces. And I hated that job. And I had this little dude named Tony. Wasn't my supervisor, cooler dude, but I just I didn't like the company. And so I went to work one day and I just told him. I said, hey, man, I'm not gonna be able to continue anymore. I got a huge loan came in from Small Business Association to start my own company. And all the men was there, Oh wow, really, Steve, what you do? Yeah, I'm starting my own carpet cleaning business. Man. I got the money, the loan came through, offer me to body equipment. So I'm gonna go full time. Oh man, good luck to you, Good luck to you. So I ended up getting his job as a carpet cleaning com well. One of the guys used my company, which partly was true. I didn't really get the money from a small business loan. I just wanted to quit, okay. And so one dude called me and asked me to clean his house because he knew my house number. And I went by his house. But I had went to pick and play with your grocery store, and I rented machines every day and just put it in the back seat of my car. And I pulled up at his house and unloaded the carpet cleaning machine from the back seating my car. Man, I thought she was a professional carpet cleaner. You didn't renting the machine from that man. I'm gonna tell everybody down at the job, okay, So I said, okay, cool, ain't no problem right here, that sound like. So I just went on and ruined his carpet ruined, now ruined Carbet didn't extract the water, just put it in there. Since you're gonna go tell go tell him that too. He felt good about this, didn't yeh? Did? Man very comfortable. And from that story we go to the one of them. It wasn't a funny story. It wasn't really a just so you know, I don't like the company, or now I really didn't like you. Tank us to Mith. Anne, Steve Trip, thank you very much, everybody. This is Anne Trip with the News. President Trump invited leaders from both sides of the aisle to the White House yesterday for what was billed as a briefing on border security. However, congressional leaders ended up no closer to an agreement to end the partial government shutdown, which is in its thirteenth day today. The President still is demanding of the same amount of money for his wall. He says he needs it. We're asking for five point six or somebody said two point five. No, Look, this is national security we're talking about, you know, just like we talked about the military, just like we're talking about Syria or Afghanistan. And the Democrats say, well, now we'll give you one point three billion for border security and that's about it. Hey, speaking of numbers, this is twenty nineteen. Neurologist Lloyd Strahorn tells me this is a three universal year. Those who are born on the third twelve month, they all like me to go very very far. Airy they should think big expand their mental horizons. For Tauruses, this is a year where they can expect to close the books on just about anyone or anything that's been a waste, toxic or non productive. For geminis, just about anything you set your mind to, this is going to be a big, big year for you. For real cancers, this is a year for them instead to be free and flexible, as committed in the things they do. Leos, this year may find them with a desire to stand out more under the radar than above it, in other words, avoiding all the spotlights, but underneath that they're likely to put together plans of actions in a methodical way. Virgos, they happen to be in a physician this year actually to get quite a bit done. As for the leaving, the sign of beauty and balance include the words both in their lexicon. Be for braids over outstand they help a leadership and dep dynamic. For scorpions, taking names and things like that is going to be very important and it's going to also enhance their good will. Sagittarians, they may have to slow it down a bit, but that's because they're known as a sign and entertainment. As for capital horns, their role is to become a beacon of light by showing others a way out of the darkness aquarians, the year will bring with them periods of self reflection and self inventory for Pisces, and suggests that they'd be more fluid able to get around how matters easily without the hassholes that they might usually encounter. When you look at the four numbers, one is a water number that's a two, one is an earth number that's a zero, and the other two which is the one in the nine of fire numbers. And because they're more fire numbers, it means that people should be more proactive, in other words, getting off the rusty deskie and making things happen. Go to Lloyd dash strayhorn dot com. This is an trip and I have to end unforc with sad news. The Captain from the Captain into Nil has died. Darryl Dragon died yesterday at renal failure in a hospice in Arizona at age seventy six, and he and Tony Tanil divorced back in twenty fourteen, but apparently they remain close and when he felt ill, she came to his bedside and she nursed it until he passed. That's right, the captain from Tony Channel has passed. Love will keep them together. I suppose this is and trip back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.

Let's go buggle up, hold on tight. We got it for you here. It is the Strawberry Letter. A subject a stepmom that may need to step away. Dear Stephen Shirley, My husband and I have been married for eleven years. My husband has three grown children from his previous marriage, two sons and a daughter. His sons are happily married, but his daughter is not. My husband's ex wife constantly intrudes in our marriage, and in her daughter's marriage, the daughter will not keep her mom out of her business and it upsets her husband. The ex wife has also made my husband's life miserable, but I can deal with that. It's my stepdaughter that is the problem. I am not welcome at any of the grandchildren's birthday parties or family get togethers because of her. I have tried for many years to have a relationship with my stepdaughter, but she's not interested. I run around and buy things for her children and help her father get gifts for her children, and she will only thank my husband. She has never told me thank you. She refers to our home as her dad's house. It hurts my feelings that she does not respect my marriage to her dad. My husband always defends his daughter's actions and how he treats me. He tries to make it better by making up lies about how his daughter says to tell me Hi when they talk, Steve, How can I get my husband to realize that his actions are just as bad as his daughter's attitude. I'm not worried about the ex wife, but I have to spend time with his daughter, so I need to fix this situation. My family life is falling apart, and I am the only one who seems to notice. What should I do? What should you do? You ask? Well, first of all, I think you're doing way too much. I think you should stop doing everything. Okay, Stop going to places with them. They don't want you there anyway, So stop going, Stop buying stuff for them, Stop trying to make them like you. Stop you know, wanting to thank you from the daughter and going and helping, you know, buy stuff and get gifts and all of that. And please stop letting this woman disrespect you like this. Okay, you deserve much better. You know. It's not about them, it's about you. And your husband really needs to grow up here. He needs to speak up for you on your behalf. You're his wife. You should come first. Okay. He shouldn't let anyone. I don't care who it is. I don't care if it's this crazy daughter that he has, his meddling ex wife, anyone come before you and treat you this way. My husband always defends his daughter's actions and how she treats me. Why is he defending her? Why isn't he defending you? His wife? That's who, and you need to let him know what is going on here. I'm your wife. He knows that, but you haven't spoken up for yourself. You need to let your husband know how it's going to be from this day forward. He needs to You all need to be a unit, present that unit to the family and deal with it that way. Okay, maybe the daughter will back down once she sees that the husband respects you and sticks up for you, but you gotta stick up for yourself to your husband first. Steve, Well, this is a complete mess. Yeah, Blended families are always difficult. I've had my share difficulties with it myself, especially when you're dealing with these grown kids because they have their own ideas of what they think should be. Had I listened to our grown kids, Marjorie and I probably wouldn't have got married because they went bowling and decided since we're just informing them that they don't think we should get married. I call him a bunch of stupid blankety blanks and walked out the room simply because how y'all ignorance gonna tell me something? Ain't none of y'all got a husband, a wife, or a child. Now you're gonna tell me how to behave so I can understand that it's gotten way better since then, but that's still friction every now and then. Your problem is that the daughter has sided with the mother who is his ex wife. She's totally taking her side. That's something wrong with his ex wife, because if it wasn't, it wouldn't be his ex wife, it would be his current wife. My husband's ex wife constantly intrudes in our marriage and then her daughter's marriage. Well I thought you said his sons are happily married, but his daughter is not. Oh, that means she's married but not Okay. Well, see, first of all, his ex wife doesn't know how to have a successful marriage, so any information that she's intruding on with her daughter's marriage ain't gonna be helpful to his daughter her daughter because she don't know how to have a healthy marriage, and spreading dissension is her way. So now the daughter can't stand you. Now what your daughters is is you are not welcome at any of the grandchildren's birthday parties or family get togethers because of her. I've tried for many years to have relationship with my stepdaughter, but she's not interested. I run around and buy things for her children and help her father get gifts for her children. She would only thank her husband. She would only think my husband the lady. She's never told me thank you. She refers to our home as her dad's house. It hurts my feeling that she does not respect my marriage to her dad. And you have every right to be hurt. So what do you do? At one point, it takes two to tangle if the other person, it takes two people to take it takes two people to have a relationship. Relationship is two people. She don't want a relationship. I agree with Shirley. Stop stop buying stuff for the grandkids and all this is stop shopping for your husband. Now. If you can't get respected, she don't talk to you, she don't thank you. Then see, let him go buy stuff for the grandkids. Now. He caught between the rock and a hard place, and we're gonna get to that after the break. But he caught between the hot rock and harplay. Because I know what he's tried to. He tries to make it better by making up lies about the highest. Daughter says to tell me high when they talk. She already knows that's not you know good wells ain't said hi to me. She ain't ever said high to me, and I've been right here, So when the hell she started sending a message? So you already noticed crazy But old dude, he don't want you hurting the guy bad. He don't want you to hurt But at one point time, a decision's got to be made. His loyalty is to you, period. But he's suffering from guilt though. You gotta understand his daughter is making him feel guilty over the mom's condition mental stability. Oh, he polling in, honest man, And so you gotta you gotta understand that. But I'll tell you what I think you should do when we come all right, Steve, So um, when we come back, we'll have part two of your response to a step mom that may need to step away twenty three after the hour. We'll get into it right after this you're listening to. All right, Steve, we're back with part two of today's Strawberry Letter. A stepmom that may need to step away is the subject. Let's recap, shall we. Well? You know this woman is married his husband. They've been married for eleven years. He got three grown children from his previous marriage, two sons and a daughter. His sons are happily married, but his daughter's not. My husband's ex wife constantly intrudes in our marriage and then her daughter's marriage. The daughter will not keep her mom out of her business, and it upsets her husband. The ex wife also made my husband's life miserable. Oh I know what that is right there, that ex wife trying to make your husband's life miserable. Oh Lord, been there. Oh I tightened up right there. I got tight because Lord, I know that that is your ex wife make your life miserable. Why won't she goes, sit her tail down? Some damn will get your ass off the internet. Quit selling stories to the QUI Okay, I remind you to stop me about me all the damn time. Okay, this is not about you. I have to, you know, remind you of that. Steven. I think now it's a good place. Well, but when he said the ex wife has also made my husband's life miserable, that was directed. You don't see Steve in that sentence. I know I do. Two different people. Has nothing to do with you. Objective Steve. First of all, I don't know what that means. We'll take yourself out of it. Take yourself out of it. Pick yourself out of it. I wasn't in it until she said the ex wife has also made my husband's life miserable. Now if that don't sound like she talking to me? And I see, when God gives you a guilt, you got to look at the gift for what it is and appreciate it. So now here's what you got to do. Step away. You should step away. Ain't no neither trying to be kind and keep getting ribuffed. You don't have to just have a person keep spitting on you in your face, stay out their face. That's all you got to do. Remove yourself from all this shopping and buying and trying to go to get togethers and stuff. You know, I don't understand that having family events and then someone calling you right now, I hear your phone. I'm popular somebody calling me when they ain't Are they hearing you? I wish that wasn't that who you think? Yeah, to hear you talking about I got so many blocks and stuff. You don't even want to stand up. Okay, back to the letter, because you will get to stop. X. Don't ask me how I know. I just know Shirley's right. I would remove myself from situation. I'm not worried about the ex wife, but I have to spend time with his daughter, so I need to fix this situation. But his daughter don't want to fix the situation. Have you ever just said, hey, listen, I love your father, your father loves me. I have nothing to do with your father's breakup. I'm tired of being blamed for it. I've been nothing but kind to you and these grandchildren I want us to have Huh. She says that I have tried for many years to have a relationship with my stepdaughter. Well, I just told her what to say. Yeah, okay, well just trying to have it. Let's live your life by Yeah, and don't bring them damn kids over here now last Christmas shop at That's right, I'm a stinger, So wait, say that one more time. Don't come over here, no more, and don't bring them damn kids. You can talk about the kids to make them feel bad. No, okay, no, no, they're innocent. Don't I'll tell you what if you want the kids to come over here from now, send them over here, by your husb. You don't bring your ass over here. But she's miserable in her marriage. She is in an unhappy marriage. So misery loves company. Right. Well, that's why I say sending him over here by the husban, because he probably need a break. I'm pretty sure he loved to come over here to be killed wash the game with us and everything. Yeah, he loved to come over there by himself, just to get away from your ain't love your mind. I just stopped by and sit down. I ain't got I sen the driveway. I just come over. I just swing by Chrispy Kreen. The light was y'all wants them? Don't know that? Don't really make her matter. She, you know, develops a relationship with the husband and they become good friends. Yeah, so it's really no way to help people like that. It's no terphone. How long this ex white thing can last? Trust me, another damn shot over here? If you want. I forgot what I was gonna ask you. Now he keep going. Yeah, answer this question was, don't you think the husband should say something? Don't you think the husband he's trying to say something what he needs to get them off his wife? You don't think that, you know what? What? He's got a delicate line because he don't want it's his daughter, right, He doesn't want to lose a relationship with his daughter. He doesn't want the daughter to think he's picking the wife over her, and he don't want the wife to think that he's picking the daughter over her. He's caught between the rock and hard place. It's a really tough position to be, especially when company the women and boys boys get on with a lot quicker.

You don't like snakes or nake So okay, So Steve, I gotta ask you. Have you ever seen any kind of lizard or getto or anything crawling and it frightened you in your house or it made you scared? No, I've never had lizard anyhow. What happened? Fighter? Now, we've been on vacation and we were in Africa. As a matter of fact, I've taken the family. And when I say lizard, now listen to me.

So Lurid was gonna take a shower. She started running the water. I don't know how this big ass thing got in the shower, but it's probably about almost a foot loan, almost a ruler. Ruler wasn't real big and heavy, but it about a foot loan with the tail. So let me now, We're in Africa, So now I got I ain't just bust in there. She out with the tie around her in the living room in front of the whole family. So we got to think before we just running in this Africa because this is Africa.

You're listening to take this job and shove it all? Heard that before. I thought that before. I wanted to do that before. Right here, Hello, I'm here. Well, guys, have you ever you know left an attitude actions left a job with? Yeah, okay, let's hear about it. But you're taking hell. I'm shopping here here, and I got my ass over here right here, meaning right here. Yeah, I'm not throwing shade. I'm building a tent. I know you have one story. You take this job and shove it. Story. Well, I worked at a place called Lincoln Electric and I hated it. I hated with everything in me. I worked a graveyard ship twelve to eight in the morning because at four o'clock I don't care who you are you sleepy? Yeah, there is no getting used to four am. You're supposed to be sleep It was the hardest job I've ever had. Lunch was twenty minutes and you and we had to work on a piece system where we had to develop all these wire coils by pieces. And I hated that job. And so I went to work one day and I just told him, I said, hey, man, I'm not gonna be able to continue anymore. I got a huge loan came in from small Business Association to start my own company. And all the men was the oh wow, really, Steve, what you do? Yeah, I'm starting my own carpet cleaning business. Man, I got the money, the loan came through, offered me the body equipment, So I'm gonna go full time. Oh man, good luck to you, Good luck to you. So I ended up getting his job as a carpet cleaning company. Well, one of the guys used my company, which partly was true. I didn't really get the money from a small business loan. I just wanted to quit, okay. And so one dude called me and asked me to clean his house because he knew my house number. And I went by his house but I had went to pick and pay with your grocery store, and I rented machines every day, and just put it in the back seat of my car. And I pulled up at his house and unloaded the carpet cleaning machine from back seating my car. Man, I thought you was a professional car for cleaner. You didn't rinding the machine from that. Man, I'm gonna tell everybody down at the job, Okay, So I said, Okay, cool, ain't no problem right here. That sound like. So I just went on to ruin his copy ruined Now so ruined Carver didn't extract the water, just put it in there. Since you gonna go tell go tell him that too. I felt good about this, didn't you very comfortable? And from that story we go to, uh, it wasn't a funny story. It wasn't really just so you know, I don't like the company, or no, I really didn't like you. All Right, we're coming back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show. As a matter of fact, this is our last break the day. Steve's closing remarks, you don't want to miss it. It's been a good day. We'll be back at forty nine after the hour right after this you're listening. Here we are, last break of the day, last break of the day, with just one more thing, Steve, I'm glad for one. I think we all are that your closing remarks are back. You know, I've learned so much over the years. You know, I've had a tough goal of it, as many of you have. Mine, ain't my story animal richer, are deeper than nobody else's. So I just try to share the information that I've actually learned, because I've learned a lot. And one of the things that I've learned is about when to start. You know, whenever you come up with an idea or thought or move you want to make, or something comes from your imagination. The thing that I find that stops people oftentimes is when do I start? Now, here's the thing with starting. What people do is they delay the start by overthinking it. And if you overthink something, guess what will eventually and you overexplain it to other people Eventually the how it won't work, it's going to come up. So you have this fabulous idea that you've thought of, right, and then you shared with some people and he said, man, I'm gonna go do this and you start talking it over, and you start thinking it through, and you share it with more people. The more people you share with, and the more people and the more you think it through, you know what, you keep coming up with the mishaps, the things that can go wrong, and you end up delaying the starting. The other thing that happens is people try to line all they ducks up in a row before they start so they can just go on and start knocking them down. That's a mistake because that almost never ever happens. I have yet to see any deal I've ever done, any project i've started, go just the way I thought it was gonna go. I have never seen that. I have yet to close a deal that just with smoothly, no wrinkles, no bumps, no nothing. I've never seen that. So when you're waiting to start and then the naysayers hit and you're waiting to start to get your ducks lined up in the row, you're delaying the process. You know when the best time to start is right now, because right now alleviates procrastination. If you wait on the ducks to get lined up in the row, and you're listening to the naysayers, procrastination has already set in and taken place, and oftentimes it takes hold. So what I found is when I come up with the idea, I start the process. Now, I start the process. Now, look, man, you can easily do that. It's simple things. What stops people is you try to figure out all the way through. You have this goal that you got and you say, okay, I'm gonna do this. Then if I do that? Then if I do that, and then you get stuck because you go, well, what happens after that? Because you've never been in that area before, you've never gone down that road, so the unknown strikes you. And then because you can't figure out what you do when you get to the unknown, you stop. So now you couldn't line up all your ducks in the road, so the process to success is delayed. Again, stop doing that to yourself. In two eighteen, y'all start now do it now. What you have to do next will be shown to you. It'll your first step will lead you to the stat second step. Now, sometimes on your journey you make a bad turn. You gotta make it. You turn and come back and cross over the other bridge instead of going that way. But until you take one step, you'll never know where the next turn is. If it's a fark in the road, if it's a you turn, if it's a been, if it's a valley, if it's a mountain. You got to start today. Stop delaying at everybody. Whatever it is you want to do, start today. You may be surprised that you can actually get yourself further than you thought you could with nobody else's health. Now, in order to be successful, you're gonna need somebody's health. But to start, oftentimes you just need yourself. Start the process. God will show you the way. He really will. He always has. I say this often to people, God will get you through. For everybody's listening right now, Name one thing that God hasn't gotten you through. And if He hasn't gotten you through it, he's currently pulling you through it right now. And you know how I know because you're listening to the radio. How you listening to the radio. It's because he's pulling you through something right now. He's gotten you through all the other stuff, but he's pulling you through right now. If you start the process, God will pull you through. But you'll never know until you start. Make twenty eighteen the year starting something great in your life. Start, start something great. Don't participate in no mess this year. Stay out of mess. You know what mess is. Mess looks like it ain't right, it don't feel good, it don't sound good. It's mess. Stay out of mess this year. Remove yourself from messy situations so you can move in the right direction. Start this year, man, make it happen. Okay, start today. That's the best time. Thank y'all for listening.
