Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time. I don't know, y'all. Don giving them like the million buck things in a good Steve to the mother, I don't join Jo. You gotta turn, 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 tha uh huh I show. Well a good morning everybody, and y'all listening to the voice. Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Well, nothing changes about that. Nothing changes about that. Man. I was just so getting ready to come on to air this morning. I was just thinking, man, I was just having a reflective moment of just how really good God has been to me. I just it's it's it's man. Let me just say that again, how really good God has been to me. And here's a cold part. In spite of myself, you understand, in spite of all my shortcomings, in spite of all of my flaws and and and and in spite of all of what anybody has said about me, God, through his grace and mercy, just keeps me anyway. So many of us are exceptional people, but we refuse to just go ahead and be exceptional. We settle for the ordinary, We follow the pack, we try to fit in. Man, oh man, oh man. You know I've heard my wife say this to my children all the time. When she's scolding and talking to him, she'd be talking to him about leadership. You know, why are you following everybody when God clearly made you to lead? So many of us are born, and so many of you are born to be exceptional people, but we always trying to follow the pack. Why would you try to fit in? Why would you try to be like everybody else be ordinary? Why would you follow the pack when God has created you to be exceptional? The key word in exceptional is accept you. Have you ever done this right here? You know? Everybody did that accept me. Everybody felt that way except me. Everybody said that except me. Everybody won't wanted that. Accept me. Everybody went over that except me. Everybody jumped in, accept me, accept me. See why have you said that in your life? If you were not to be exceptional? See you got to say everybody accept me at one point in You're to I don't know who ain't done it? You know everybody wanted everybody voted no, except me, see it. So you're not You're not created to follow the pack. You ain't created to fit in. You ain't created to, uh, you know, to be ordinary. You will create it to be exceptional, as exceptional as your fingerprint on your finger is. You were created to be exceptional. Why not make this the year that you go ahead on and be exceptional? Why won't this be the year that you decide in your mind? But just has to be a decision that we make. Now we're not following the pack no more. We're not trying to fit in no more. We ain't settling for ordinary no more. We're gonna be exceptional. But you know, you got you got to go ahead and follow that. You got to get on the exceptional path because that's what you were created for. Why be ordinary? You know? But all of this this comes to it has to start with a thought. You got to first think something thought to become things. A man is as he thinketh that's all you will ever be. So what are your thoughts today? Why not have exceptional thoughts instead of ordinary thoughts? Why not have exceptional thoughts instead to fit me in thoughts? So why you want to be like everybody else? Why you want to be ordinary when you could possibly be extraordinary with a change of your mind, a change of your venue. And you don't have to be any other kind of way just because my mama was this way, my daddy was this way, or this the school I went to? This? What race I belong to? This is my sexual preference, this is my this, this is my dad? Why? How many? How many? How many excuses you need? I'm an excuse? What? What? What? What? You? What's it gonna be this year that we let another three hundred and sixty five days slip by without improving our condition, our place, our spot, our life, the quality of life we have. We cannot afford to keep letting all these years go by without changing. You're an exceptional person. How many times have you set up and said, everybody did that accept me? You know I was only everybody jumped in accept me. I told him I knew it. Everybody voted for that, accept me, And now look at it, man, it seemed like everybody went that way except me. Okay, do you get it? Do you understand what's being said to you that don't accept me is because couldn't it be because you're an exceptional person and It's time for you to take control of that. It's time for you to start thinking different. It's time for you to start acting on what you think. It's time for you to start doing something about it. It's time for you to stop taking each and every day that God gives us for granted and letting them go by the wayside. Like you got plenty more. Well, you may have plenty more, but guess what what you're wasting the ones you got for I got you young, and you and you feel like you're gonna live forever. Da Okay, cool, But let me ask you something. See here here, here go the part about pose you do live? See see everybody willing about dying. But I got news for you. Suppose you keep on living. You want to keep living in the condition you in now. You want to keep living with the money you got now. You want to keep living with the relationship you got now. You want to keep living by yourself like you are now. You want to keep wanting the right relationship, the right man, the the right woman, but you keep getting the wrong one. You want to keep doing that for the rest of your life. Problem ain't dying. It's problem is if you keep on living who wants to keep on living just the way they are right now. And if you can say I'm cool what I am, just the way I am right now, it ain't cool. This conversation ain't for you. I ain't got no problem with that. You know, you want to say, greatness ain't for everybody being exceptional, ain't for everybody becoming extraordinary. It ain't fun everybody. Heck, becoming successful ain't fun everybody. I got it. And you can come up with a way to justify your non existence in your ordinary life. All you won't. And that's fine and dandy. I ain't got no problem with it. Because some people just gonna be regular. Some people just gonna follow the pack, follow the crowd. Some people just wants to fit in. But if you're not that person, if you want to be extraordinary, if you want to be exceptional, if you want to be if you want to dare to be great at something, and you got to change your mind set. You got to get with your creating, find out what he created you fault. You gotta quit thinking of things just in your own thought process, you know, lean not to your own understanding. I don't know what that is, but it's in there somewhere seeing. Once you lean, if you lean to your own understanding, you know what it's gonna do. It's gonna limit you. Man, it's gonna limit you. Why not see what God got for you. I would rather know what God got for me than to think of all the things I could because I can't out think him out and tried it before. All right, it's just the beginning. We're gonna have a good one. Man. Let's go. You're listening show. Everybody around the world. You are listening.

If you need advice on relationships, on sex, on dating, on work, on parenting, and more, please submit your Strawberry Letter to Steve Harvey FM and click submit Strawberry Letter. We could be reading your letter live on the air, just like we're gonna read this one right now. Buggle up, hold on tight, We got it for you. Here it is Strawberry Letter. Subject is a good heart and good personality. Enough, here's Stephen Shirley. I've been dating someone special for four months and so far he is amazing. He loves the Lord and he has a great personality and a great career. When we first started dating, he did not want to rush sex, so we waited a little beyond ninety days to become lovers. Since things were going so great, I took him to meet my parents. He fit in like a glove and they both told me that he just might be the one for me. The day after my boyfriend met my parents, I told him that I would love to meet his family next. He totally avoided the conversation and started talking about the NBA games. I waited and brought the subject back up later before we went to bed. He dismissed me again by saying that he does not deal with his family like that, so I could stop pressing the issue. So here's my problem with what he said. It's a lie. Surely. He talks to his mom at least twice a week. He tuchs his sister daily and shows me funny things she posts on social media. He plays basketball at the gym with his brothers at least once a week. His grandmother recently had surgery, and he goes by her house every other day to check on her and keep her company. By him not wanting me to meet his family, I'm getting a bit self conscious, like maybe I'm not the type of woman that he would take home to his family. He always says he is dating me for my heart and personality, So does that mean I'm not pretty enough? To meet them. I'm dealing with a lot of self doubt and I feel like this might cause our breakup. How can I let him know how I feel without nagging him? Please help? All right? Well, first of all, you guys have only been together for four months. I think it takes guys a little longer than it does women to decide whether or not to take you to their family. Four months is not a lot of time there. But as far as letting him know how you feel, just let him know. Just because you tell a person how you feel doesn't mean you're nagging him. It's going to be a discussion, a conversation period. And it is a problem that he lied to you about his family. I mean, it clearly looks like he doesn't want you to meet them. I mean he's either not ready and that could be the case because you guys haven't been dating that long, only four months, or he has no plans whatsoever to introduce you. That could be the other thing. But the only way you're going to find out is to actually have an open conversation. I think you should leave it alone after you tell him how you feel, and uh, you know, he doesn't have to lie about it. I mean, I'm sorry you feel like, you know, maybe your looks, but if he specifically said he's dating you for your heart and personality, there could be something to that. Hopefully we'll all come out when you guys have your talk. Um, but before um, you know, before I go and hand it over to Steve, I really don't want you to lose your self confidence and your self esteem. Here. You you got. You gotta know that you are enough. And please don't let anyone tell you any differently. Okay, all right, come on, Steve. Anyone I'm seeing this letters started with a lot of confidence and to win over. He just started to peel it. It's not my job to hold people together, you know. If you're falling aparty, hell, don't write me. I don't know how to keep you from falling apart. I just have to help you with the truth. You're dating somebody special for four months. He's amazing. You know what makes him love amazing everybody? He loves the Lord. He's got a great personality and a great career. When we first started dating, he didn't even want to rush sex. I want you to underline this word. He did not want to rush sex. As the first clue in this letter right there. So we waited a little bit beyond ninety days. I'll be down past. We don't win down the ninety day ruse hell Way with Steve, I need more time. This was him. Things was going so great. I took him to meet my parents. He fit in like a glove and they both told me he just might be the one. He said, just me, the one for me. The day after my boyfriend met my parents, I told him I would love to meet his family next. If arted the conversation talking about the NBA. Wow, who was gonna get drafted? What happened to Houston? Come? Lebron went to Cleveland? And then you thought you brought the subject back up before we went to bed, he dismissed me again by saying that he don't deal with his family like that. Wow, So I could stop pressing issue. So here my problem with what he's saying. It's a lie. Shirley. See now she's not talking to me anymore because she already know why I didn't did already. So so here's my problem with what he said. It's a lie Shirley, because she knows Shirley gonna side with her about this guy. Don't ask Steve, because Steves through this already. He talks to his mom and leaves twice a week. He texts his sister daily and he shows me funny things she posts on social media. He played basketball at the Damn Jim with his brother Lease once a week. His grandmother recently had surgery, and he go by her house every other day check on her and keep her coming by him not wanting me to meet his family. I'm getting a bit self conscious, like maybe I'm not the type of woman he would take home to his family. He keeps telling you he's dating me for my hard and personality. Need to write that down. Hold on, hold on, come to her heart and personality. All right, Look, we'll have part two if Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hour. Today's Strawberry Letters subject is a good heart and good personality enough. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve, Come on, Let's recap today's Strawberry letter. He's a good heart and good personality enough is the subject dating somebody special? He loved the Lord great personality career. When we started dating. He ain't he want to rush set, so they waited beyond ninety days. Damn, you told us to write that down. That was his idea he needed because you're trying to work all this out in his head, I'm gonna do this, and he felt the pressure. When the ninety days was up. He saw my book sitting on your coffee expects something. I know. She first chance at see how long I can play this? Then you wouldn't met his parents, boyfriend, you took meet your parents. They said that he could be the one they shot though that's not in the letter, but they was. When you came in the house with him, they were surprised. They were surprised. Now he was see they they they was pretty surprised. He fitted in like a glove and he told me he might just be the one. They were surprised, though. Then the dad to that. You told him you want to meet the family. He changed the sibly bought off basketball, and then before you went to bed, you asked him again, and then he told you that he closed his family like that, and then you said, well that's her lost, Shirley. He talked to his mom at least twice a week with me. He texts his sister Daly showed me funny things she pulled, and he played bastball the gym with his brothers once a week. His grandmama got seinging. He go bout every day checking on him, but him not wanting me to meet his family. I'm getting a bit self conscious. Here we go. This is what this letter is all about, Like, maybe I'm not the type of woman that he would take home to his family. Now when she came to the conclusion, this is ye saying I'm not the type of woman that he would take home to his family. He always says he's dating me for my heart and personality. So does that mean I'm not pretty enough to meet them? Well, he says he's dating me for my heart and personality, and you can't see either one of him. Most dems invisible you can't see. So does that mean that I'm not pretty enough to meet them? Well, let's go back all the way back to the top of this letter. When he first started dating he did not want to rush sex. What man, you know to get to the promise lan as soon as he can. That was your first clue to maybe he had to work his nerves. Then he waited a little bit beyond ninety days. That's just going too damn farther. Then, when you took him to meet this patty, he met them and saw what they looked like when he decided this ain't work. He saw yo mother and father. This is what she said. This high went, I'm what y'all listen to port Because his name is Jerome, Mama, daddy, this JERNI did your own hege Jerome. This was Drone's reaction. What hage your room? Hage Jerome? Jerome gasped, He gasped, because your parents, your mama and your he went, damn, Lord, have messed does and sheeping to get cute in this house? Look at her mama and daddy. So now let's go back to the letter. By them not wanting me to meet his family, I'm getting a bit self conscious, like maybe I'm not the type of woman that he would take home to his family. He always says he's dating me for my heart, So does that mean I'm not pretty enough to meet him? I'm dealing with a lot of self doubt. Ain't you ship? And I feel like this might cause I break up. Y'all already broke he broke up with you when he saw you. How can I let him know how I feel? I ain't got to tell him how you feel. He knows how you feel. That's why I love you for your heart and your personality, because you're so strong to keep waking up looking like this, and he admires your heart and personality. But now he even met your mom and daddy. Know this ain't fnna get better. This's fnna get worse. He's ain't that you and a sad thing about you. I ain't even gonna lie to you. Probably look like your dad, and which is messing him up even more because you know your mama. Your mama had a chance with him. But when you walked in, you and your daddy, you look like you dad. All right, listen, uh you can email us your Instagram us your thought. Coming up at forty six after the hour I told you he was dating you for your heart and personality. I think we're gonna go ahead and do part three of today's Part three for me, subject is a good heart and a good personality enough apparently not, according to mister Harvey. We'll get back into it right after this Part three coming up. You're listening to Steve Morning Show all right, Steve, We're gonna do a part three of today's robbery letter. The subject is a good heart and good personality enough. A young lady wrote in She's been dating a guy for four months so far. He's amazing, he loves the Lord, great personality, great career. She took him to meet her parents. He fit right in. Her parents told her he might be the one for her. So she in turn told him, well, now I think it's time for me to meet your parents. Oh look the situation. He changed the subjects started talking about the NBA. You take it from there, Steve Grohead. And then before they went to bed, she thought she'd bringing up again, why can't I meet your parents? So then he turned to let her down easy. He said, look, me and my family wing close like that. Then she told Shirley, Shirley, that's a lie. That is a lie, Shirley. He talks to his MoMA twice a week. He texts his sisters every day. He showed me to day post on social media. He played basketball at gym with his brothers Lee once a week. His grandmama got sick head. Certainly, he go about the house up day check. He lying to me Shuh. He close to his family, but not want me to meet his family. I'm getting a little bit self conscious, like maybe I'm not the type of woman that he would take home to his family. You already know that you're the one bought it up. I wasn't gonna say nothing about the letter, but jin you said, I'm not the type. He always says he's dating me for my heart and personality. That's what he told you. He ain't saying you're danking you for your looks. He loves your heart and your personality. Now you're gonna have to just trust in that, because that's he ain't giving you nothing else. He's not in it for your looks. He's in it. You're dating you because of your heart and your personality, and you're probably pretty good. I'm just saying, yeah, he never said it. She never said he told her that she was beautiful or anything that. Well. You know, let me explain something. If you never heard a person tell you in your life you're beautiful, it's probably because you're not well. She didn't say that in the letters, Steve. Huh, she didn't say that in the letter. Oh, it's all in this one. In this damn Steve. He always says he's dating me for my heart and personality. That means you're not acute. You ain't cute? So does that mean I'm not pretty enough to meet them? Are you pretty enough to meet him? But he's not gonna introduce you as his woman? Oh that's all you can go. You can meet him anytime, but just don't tell him y'all been together, you've been seeing you better? See How can I let him know how I feel?

And some clothing were marks from our fearless leader, the one and only mister Steve hard Day. Right after this, you're listening to the Steven Show, all right, Steve, here we are last break of the day. It's been a good day. You guys have really really clowned and really embarrassed me today. Okay, good, So then that was a good day. Right, thank you. You're welcome. I hope you enjoyed it. We've got more. But before we get out of here, Steve, you're going to leave us with some enlightening closing remarks. Well, you know, my remarks today are just a reminder, as I have to remind myself that the thing that you do have full of complete control over is your mind. We've all got to understand that part of it. Yeah, See, we've all got to understand that part of it that you have a say so in this matter and in this coming year. What I'm trying to get everybody to just be a constant reminder to you that you've got to stay upbeat. You've got to stay appreciative and grateful and thankful even in the midst of difficulties. See that's a hard part. But but what will help you through the difficulties is the realizing that you have recovered and gotten through so many other previous challenges and disappointments and difficulties. So in that what I try to do, and I'm not always successful to everybody. I want you to understand that I wish I had it mastered. But what I try to do as often as I can is stay in the positive light. I try to look at everything that's happened to me with a beacon of light shining on it, even when it looks dark, because the only way out of darkness is with light. You can't come bat dark with more dark. So here it is when haters attack you this year, if you are attacked them back with hate, it becomes a spin cycle. Now you are now involved in the cycle of hate. And so now when you cast hate to them, they're gonna recast it on you. Then somebody else that know them starts hating on you, and somebody to know you start hating on them, and now y'all in a vicious spin cycle, and the hatred has turned into a bigger ball than it actually is. When what could have stopped this whole thing would have been when you were first hit with the darkness, when you were first hit with the untrue rumor, when you first came under attack, if you didn't swing back hard to have a one man fight. If only you had not swung back, the fight wouldn't have grew into what it is today. And it's hard to do that. Man. Do I understand that? Yeah, it's hard to do. Am I human being? Yes? I am. Do I face times when I want to do something different, Yes I do do. Sometimes I end up doing something different regrettably, Yes I do. But the times when I do get it right, the times when I do manage to hold my peace, the times when I do manage to hold my tongue, the times that I do manage to bite down and grit it and just take it, it ends far quicker and I don't give it legs. Don't give people gasoline to throw on the fire they're trying to start at Joe. How I just try not to provide you the gasoline, the starter fluid. I just try not to. Now that's hard, but I'm telling you, man, and it's so much energy that you have to give to deal with haters. You gotta muster it up every time you see them. You gotta respond every time you see a post. You gotta comment on every comment. Na man, No stop feeling though, is you got to comment on every time somebody say something bad about you, are negative about you. They don't know you. They have no idea who you really are. They don't And because they'd lied on you, nothing they can say gonna make it true. That's one of the ones I had to learn, y'all, that just because a person lies on you, it's not gonna make it true you lied. I don't have to buy into that. And so now, man, I've just learned, and I'm trying to get better and better. But I invite all of you to move yourself forward with the right attitude. Don't stay on the wall. Listen to me. Stay on the wall, don't get off the wall. Addressing stuff that you ain't got time for. And if you can forgive a person, if you can forgive a person, do that. It's in your best interests because we remember, forgiveness is not for the other person. Forgiveness is for you. It's so you don't have to react every time you see them. It's so you don't have to feel some kind of way sitting by yourself. It's so you don't have to keep rehashard it in your mind. I forgive you, not forgiving a person. And I've said this a hundred times before on this show. Not forgiving a person. It's like you, drinking the poison, waiting on them to die. Bishop Jake's taught me that I will never forget it. Y'all. Stop drinking the poison. You better than that. Don't deal with the haters. You better than that. Fix your attitude. If you change your attitude, you change your altitude. Y'all have a great weekend. I'm so happy that this Mike for all. Steve every contests no purchase necessary, void where prohibited. Participants must be legal US residents at least eighteen years old, unless otherwise stated.
