Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know. Y'all have a suit giving them like the million bucks things in the coves through good it listening to the other for st Please, I don't join joining me. You gotta turn you, You gotta turn anyone to turn out turn You got to turn them out to turn the water the water? Got me? Come come on your thing? Huh, I shall will, I'll get wrong and everybody y'all listening to the voice, come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show today, folks. I just want to dive right in because I think I got it here it is. Did you know that there is a life for you that's greater than you could have ever dreamed of? Did you know that there's a life for you better than the one you've ever felt before? And did you know that there was a life for you much bigger than the one you wanted? And lastly, did you know that what I just said it's true? Did you know that? Did you know that the things I just said are available to you? It's not just intended for those who receive awards, It's for everybody. Yeah, you two. It's for you who didn't get your high school diploma. It's for you who are incarcerated. It's for you who have two strikes. It's for you who've been sentenced to life. It's for you who've gotten out and have a felony record and can't seem to get it together. It's for you who have an illness. It's for you who the doctors have given up on. It's for you. This life I'm talking about, it's for you. Did you know that there's a life for you better than the one you dreamed about, better than the one you've imagined, a life better than the one you thought of, That there's a life for you better than the one you've ever felt before. There's a life for you better than the one you saw for yourself. There's a better life for you than the one you expected and even the one you wanted. Did you know that this is true for you? See, here's let me give you the secret to this thing. Now you have to believe that it is for you. Now, you got to fight through the doubts. You got to fight through the wheel of satan. Because the devil is busy man. The devil wants you to think that is hopeless. The devil wants you to think that this is it. The devil wants you to think that ain't no more to it. The devil wants you to think that this applies to other people. But you, Yeah, you've been dealt the worst hand of them all, which you ain't. But that's what the devil wants you to think. So you gotta fight through. Now. You gotta fight through to get to what I just said is available for you. But what else you got to do? You ain't doing nothing else, might as well fight? Why just wake up and just let it be? Why would you wake up every day and just exist when there's a chance for you to actually live. See the reason I don't mind smiling so much now is because I'm no longer existing. I'm living now. See. See, that's what you want to get to. You don't want to exist to wake up paycheck to paycheck, date today, not knowing, not understanding, not having, can't can't get this, can't get that, can't go here, can't go there, Gotta wait, gotta wait, gota wait, gota wait till it seems like you never get nowhere. You can get out of that rut of life feeling like when you wake up in the morning, that your life is whole hum that you're just in a rut. I drive the same way to work. I do the same thing on my job. When I get off, I drive all the way back home. I sit there, I read the newspaper. I water the lawn. I'm so sick of my life. It ain't this, ain't what I wanted. Man and start, wake up, start over, do the same thing. Then the weekend gets in. You got to mow the lawn, and then you try to fix something in the garage, and you feel like your life is in the rut. I'm talking about. If this feels like a rut to you now, if it's what you've always wanted, I'm cool with that. But I'm talking to people who want it more, who would love their life to be more, who would love their life to different, to be different. I'm not criticizing you if I just described your life. I'm just only talking to the ones who would dare to believe that there's more to it than this. I'm only talking to the ones who would dad dad to accept the challenge, to fight through and see what God got for you. Instead of listening to Satan all the time. Devil is busy, man, Please understand, he's so busy, so busy, trying to trick you, get you into the groove. You know they're doing all kinds of stuff now, man, you know atheists and already got prayer. Taking out of schools. Excuse me, look at our skills schools, not as a push by the atheist to get the words in God we trust, taking off our money. Here's a deal. If you don't believe in God, and you don't want trust in God, just going about your business. But what you can't do is spill off all into what I'm talking about. That's the problem I have with all of them. If you're gonna do you, didn't do you, but don't spill off into what I got. Now. See, if you don't believe what I'm saying, then I ain't talking to you. Let's just be clear about the relationship with Steve Harvey and his crew. I'm only talking to the people that believe that are looking for something else, that wants something more, that wants something better, that's gotta be out there searching and hoping and trying to do more. That's all I'm talking to now. If you don't believe what I'm saying it is true, didn't go ahead and try it your way? Go see, write me, email me, let me know how it's going for you. But I'm telling you of a way that's tried and true. If you go to God, if you go to your creator, your makeup, if you go to him and you go to him for real and tell him, hey, you know what, I want you to go ahead and take over from here. I'm done. I didn't done all I know how to do out and tried everything I know how to try. I'm sick of me right now. Hey look here, you created me what you want me to do, and you're a cool thing about it. When I made that decision, y'all see, I was so afraid for years that I was gonna miss out on something if I did that, I couldn't do this no more. But the stuff I needed to stop doing, I really need to stop. The things I was afraid of not being able to do anymore were the very same things I really didn't need to be doing no more in the first place. On the real man, on the real all that temporary fun I was having all them temporary outlets. I was using all them temporary things, trying to fulfill myself I was doing. I was just doing a bunch of temporary mess man. I said, hold up, man, I want something permanent. Man, I want a permanent feeling in my heart that it's gonna be all right. So he replaced all that fun with joy. But it's only because I went and I faced him. He didn't take me and stop me from being me. He just made a better version of me. See, God, don't take he because all the stuff he sent you through, he needed you to go through all him. He needed you to have him experience or what it felt like to be locked up. He needed you to have experience and know what it was to lose everything. He needed you to have experience to make you tough. You're just gonna be a tough one. I'm a tough soldier in his army. That's all I just say. One of the weak ones. I protect the weak ones. God didn't take a lot of stuff from it, except the stuff I needed. But the stuff he made me to be, He allowed me to keep it, and he just made a better me. Do that, y'all, and you can have what you want. You're listening, ladies, gentlemen, everybody, anybody, somebody who that down? Do I have your attention? That's good because I need it because what I'm about to say now can only be said by a very very small minute group of people. It's about six of us, to be exact.

Can you just give this to Steve for me? This a bestseller? Right? We just get it to Steve. I'm not going to get the one kill me. Okay, I got this book of mine. I want you to read. I didn't read the foe I wrote. Thank you. Coming up more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this. You're listening to Steve Morning Show. All right. This is according to a new survey. Guys, the average American will spend about one hundred and sixty five dollars and some change on Thanksgiving dinner this year. Uh huh overall. Yeah, that sounds per person. Yeah, that sounds really low per person. Perfect, Yeah, just that's average, that's the average. Yeah, they average it out. Yeah, the high and the low, and they average it overall. Two point ninety eight billion, that's almost three billion will be spent in the US on Thanksgiving dinner, with fifty two million turkeys expected to be consumed. Fifty two fifty two million turkeys expected to be the turkeys right now, so nerve case I got nobody you know, when he get it? No, you have got ten years, you know, one Halloween turn? Isn't you think? What's a turkey? Does have an explorade? Yeah? Soon they get it, so they get it right, Yeah, he already know going in. Man, what's the average? What's the lifespan of a turkey? Right? Yeah? I don't know. Probably they No, I don't think it is that long. But don't you feel badly talking about it right now? But you don't at Thanksgiving? Like I got a friend that's a turkey. I don't have a friend. I don't really care. I'm a friends with turkeys I have don't say that the average lifespan of a turkey is ten years really, but that's probably a wild turkey ten years old. But they get all their life listens. Really, No, that's a wild turkey. Wild turkey. Okay, okay, So like a turkey got to know he ball? What's what's the age of how do you know? I think about a year and a half, about a year and a half. You know, they inject him pretty good. It fatten them up. Yeah, they'd be swollen, they'd be just big ass baby. Yeah with water, luck y'all slowed up. So I do have some ways that people can save money on their Thanksgiving meal. And you know, of course guys jump in here. So like if you're hosting the dinner, if you're if the dinner's at your house, you want to save money, make it a pot luck, they're saying, so all the expenses don't fall on that last year. That is not a good idea. She we disagree with pot luck. Somebody always got something in the pot that ain't lucky to nobody. But you look, what the hell, it's always full at the end. That's my ham hock lime of being castle it's always full. It's always full at the end of the night. Why doesn't that see that? Nobody ate that up the street my boys on sending every year sent to our house. Now, imagine the casserole dishes, the ones you like Corning Castle ground. Yeah, picture it full of lima beans. To the picture in potatoes, whole ball potatoes split right in half. Whole potato. The whole ball of potatoes split in half. Now line them up around the outside of the cast roll dish. Looked like a fence made out of teeth, and then put a ham hawk in the middle of the lima beans. She sent that down every famous lima bean casserole, and who eat lima beans with potatoes? And the potatoes split in half, and she lines the flat side up on the middle, you know the flat side of where you cut the potatoes, that's facing the middle, so the outside looked like teeth, and then a ham hawk in the middle. She sent that down the house every year. My daddy he wanted to go up there because if my mama kept stopping, my daddy was so bad. But but who the hell she think we are? Why she think we find eat this? We can cook down here? Think old dog. He was so mad at her mate's given Castle role days. That's when everybody think they're supposed to bring You got some people that it's just easily Castle don't do it.

Okay, buckle up, hold long type. We got it for you here. It is the Strawberry Letter subject. That's not what Steve Harvey wrote in that book. Dear Stephen, Shirley, my best friend and I. You're gonna like it. Steve, my best friend and I have been really close for seventeen years, but now we are constantly bickering over her twisted ideas of love and marriage. She has always taken an interest in reading books about male and female relationships, but her favorite book is Steve Harvey's Act like a Lady, Think like a Man, and she has twisted each chapter to fit how she chooses to live. In the past, she has dated great guys, but she would break up with the guys if they didn't have any desire to take care of her financially. She brings nothing to the table, and she lives paycheck to paycheck. She has a new guy that she is dating and he has a great job, so she's happy. She brags about how he helps her with her bills and he gives her money to shop. She has told me that he makes comments about her current living conditions because she lives with her parents and she uses their car. I told her that he is making those comments for reason, because she maintained that she will not move out or buy her own car, because if a man has an issue with it, he will get her a nice place of her own and buy her a new car. She said that Steve Harvey's book says that males are hunters and that all all the women need to do is stay pretty with her hair together, nails and toes done, and a man will come in and take care of everything else. What gir up right now? Whoa Carlin? Lets Lee? Okay, we're doing this all wrong, according to her, all right, the lady, the letter writer says. She said that Steve Harvey said that it's a woman's role to take care of her man, raise the kids, and keep the house together. I read Steve Harvey's book, and nowhere in there doesn't say that I need you to clear this up because she listens to the show every day. So do men want women to bring something to the table or is really the man's role to step in and do it all? Well, let me start by saying, you're so right a letter writer, You're so right, so on point. It's not so much about a woman bringing something to the table, you know. It's about the attitude of your bestie thinking that men owe her something just because that's what she's saying in this letter. I mean, that's where she's she's got it all twisted. A man will do that, they'll they'll do that and more for her if she has the means, if he has the means and the desire to. But that's up to him, all right, that's not up to her. My advice to her would be save some of her money while she's staying with mom and dad, just in case her man, you know, doesn't move her out and doesn't buy her car. At least then she'll be able to afford her own place, in her own car, with her own money. And you know, of course it's nice to have someone buy and give you gifts and stuff like that, take care of you, and all you have to do is sit there and look pretty. That's nice. But just sitting around and waiting for a man to do that, it's just not very smart. Okay, get out, get your own, be your own boss. Whatever the man does for you, that's gravy. That's extra. He owes you nothing, okay, absolutely nothing. And Steve said, nothing of the kind? What book did you read? What book did you read? He said, nothing of the kind? Did you? Steve Roby helped me write the book. Yes, that ain't in now, ain't nobody told you that. Go somewhere and sit on your ass, just look pretty, and that's it. I don't even want to be in this left. Just straighten her out, Steve. That's not what Steve hard wrote in his book. I appreciate you saying that, lady book your friend is seventeen years got all these twisted ideas about love and made she interested in reading books about male and female relationships. But her favorite book is one I wrote. Act like a lady, Think like a man now the passion and David some good, but she break up with them if they didn't have any desire to take care of her finance. Girl, Well this day two three, let me show you this I bought in my purse. You see these stack of bills. Now we're going back to your place or what, But we need to go through these bills. You know you ain't. You ain't fend to pay these bill Oh, you get your ass out of here. I ain't sleeping with you no more. She brings nothing to the table, and she lived paycheck to paycheck, and she's dating this new guy. Got a great job, so she happened. She brags about he helps her with her bills and gives her money to shop. Now, she's not telling you what she's doing to get these little car notes in the shopping's breathe she up and help or her back? What? Wow? She up in hell letting it go. She don't bring nothing to the table. She is the table. I'm telling you right now, y'all put looking at these letters without seeing was in here? He a new guy, pay her bills, gives her money to shop. All this hell because she up in hell? Or hop back her hair down, putting it down. She keep her head hanging off the edge of the bed. That's how she keep her head always going down up in here. It's going down up in here. And she knows what she's doing too. It's just when men get tired of it and get you all these reading on bills while eating, just putting out all kind of bill fail, phone bill, grocery bill. Yeah, look what I had to help. I help my mom Knil with the rent. You don't want to do nothing for that? Wow? Wow, All right, Hang on Part two of Steve's responses, coming up at twenty three after the hour of today's letter. The subject that's not what Steve Harvey wrote in that book. We'll be back right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve. We're ready to recap the Strawberry letter. Now, subject, that's not what Steve Harvey wrote in that book. Let's recap. This woman been dating using my book all wrong. Anybody told her due none of this here. So she don't want no man. Everybome she date a man, if they don't start taking care of her financially, she break up with him. She got a new guy. Now, he got a good job and everything so she bragging about how he helps her with her bills and he gives her money to shop. Before we left, I explain to you why you getting money for your bills and why you can go shot? Why because you ain't here on your back? She's not just looking pretty with her hair nails backup? Raise your role? Okay? She said that Steve Harvey said it's a woman's role to take care of her man, raise the kids, and keep the house together all the w When did I tell you your job is to take care man? All that women need to do is stay pretty with our hair together, nails and toes done, and that's not in my book, and take care of everything else. Ain't nobody for to do that? And you bring nothing to the table. According to this letter, she told me that this man now been making comments about her current living conditions because she lives with her parents and she uses their car. The lady wrote the letter said, I told her that he's making those comments for a reason. But she maintains that she will not move out all by hold because if a man has an issue with it, he will get it. Got an issue with it, he will get her a nice place on her own and buy her a new car. Okay, are you crazy? See baby, let me explain to you where you're going wrong. Just hold that. First of all, you had several men, good man, and the moment they don't want to financially take care of you want to break over. Well, let's dude right here's taking care of some stuff like it. But now he hadn't brought up the fact that you live with your mom and you're using a car because he can he trying to figure out. Okay, now where we're at it. Now you say, if he really loved you, hear him help you get your place and buy a new car. No, he's not. Now you haven't been on your back with these men before, and it ain't produced a house, a car or nothing. To hell else when you fitting to learn that this don't work. I got this your requirement, but you keep passing out cooking before you get car's, apartments, rent and money. And then the dude, that dude give you this money. He started asking you why are you still living with your mom and there and you're driving that car? So does that mean he's getting sick of her? He's getting because he thought he had something. He got food. He thought he had something found out he didn't. Now she said that Steve Harvey books said that males are hunted. I've always said that, and all that women need to do is stay pretty without had together, nails and toes done, and a man will come and take care of everything else. What calling, Let's girl, Let's leave now because y'all ought to have a lock on you calling Monica can go? Now? Y'all have done your nails? And does y'all ought to be good? What y'all in here for ya? I'm trying to take care of y'allself. Oh, y'all, y'all trying to be independent? That's dumb, he says. Steve Harvey said it's a woman's role to take care of her man. How are you gonna take care of man? Or you ain't working? See why would I say that and you ain't working? Yeah? I ran Steve Harvey's book, and nowhere in there doesn't say that. I need you to clear this up because she listens to the show every day. So do men want women to bring something to the table? The answer to that is yes. Now, let me help you understand this a little bit better. If a man is wealthy, his requirement may not be for you to have a job. But now if he has the means, let me tell you what he doing. He wants a woman that he can put on his arm and take places. He wants a woman who looks good, I mean that sounds good in meetings and social setting. He wants a woman that's able to classly mingle in and out of all different situations. He wants a woman that's stylish. So what may want a woman who's really good with kids, because he may have children. He's also looking at a woman where if she has kids, what type of mother she is, and how can he fit in there and be provided for her and all them. He also looking for a woman who can better him, who can help him be a better him. Now, for a woman can do those things, that becomes your job. And your job is very simple and has a great reward to it. But if you bring nothing to the table. See at one point in time, this is what happens to people who bring nothing to the table. You're gonna pull your chap one time. It ain't gonna be nothing a table. Yeah, you're gonna pull your champ and ain't gonna be nothing to eat. Oh you at the table. But ain't a damn thing on there for you to eat because he didn't eat and left. You've got to bring something to the table, and this last swagger against under wisdom on something you know. Watch his back, Yeah, listen to me. I don't like him because when you're not looking, he looking upside your head. Yes, loyalty, Yeah, ste Steve, his name is Sawyer. Stop calling this man. See you've done that a few times having Stevens. Don't say hey, Sam stupid? I said, hell, why should be behind me? All Right, we gotta get out of here.

All right, all right, Steve, here we are last break of the day. What do you have for us? Closing remarks? Let's get it. You know, something I've been learning, y'all, and I guess I've been sharing because I've been doing these morning meditations has really been helpful to me, you know, or so really really been having a really profound effect on my life. And I guess don't want to share with you all because of it's happening to me currently. And there's something that's happening that's really really had an impact on my life. I didn't know I started doing these morning meditations, right, and so part of it is I got this app, this Bible app you know. Look, I ain't no preacher, so you could take the message from them. I'm just telling you what I'm doing and how it's improved my life. I'm not a perfect person, so I don't even really you know, kind of be really honest. I don't even think I'm trying to be perfect. I'm just trying to be a good person. Man. Some of the mistakes I make, I really don't. I don't know, man, some of the mistakes I make, I ain't really you know, I don't know. I'm a little confused about myself sometimes it's kind of clay. I guess I am improving and trying to be better, but I'm not making the same mistakes over and over. I'm just finding out that it's it's not as easy to be a great person all the time because we're humans, you know, right, you know We're gonna all make mistakes, and so I've definitely made my share. But I keep on climbing and I keep on striving, So I guess I am trying to get a lot better. So I take that back, I am. But a friend of mine sent me a scripture, and the scripture is Psalms five, five and three. But I started reading from one all the way down to four and he said, hey, man, before you start your day in your morning meditation, he said, I want you to add the scripture. So part of my morning meditation is I have these, like, oh, daily words that I read from a gift that someone gave me for my birthday. And then I have a King James Bible, and I have a New Living Version of the Bible because I can't understand the King James version sometimes while I had these two side by side. So whatever script I'm reading in the King James, I also have a you know, New Living Testament with modern English in it so I can really get an understanding of it. And inside one of my notes is two pages one sheet of paper has things that I make sure that I read off every morning to thank him for because I don't want to be ungrateful. I want him to know that I'm grateful for what all he's done for me. And I do this every morning, whether I'm having a great morning or not, whether I got some bad news the night before or not, or whether somebody said the answer to your question is no, you gotta try something else. I read the thank you list anyway, and some of the stuff on my thank you list, it's stuff that someone has told me know about, but I thank God for it anyway, because what I've learned is I remember I've often been told no a bunch of times and it turned out to be a yes. So I thank him even when I get some disappointing news about a request that I put in. So I put in my thank yous first, then my next sheet of paper that's about fifty things I thank him for every day, and then I have another people about fifty so things on it that I'm asking for. He said, before you read that list, Steve, he said, I want you to read Psalms five and three. And then it was so crazy because he said, Man, since you're doing this every morning, do this. Five and three says Lord in the morning. You hear my voice. In the morning, I pray to you, and I wait for you in hope. And so when he sent me the scripture, he sent it from another version, and he says after he God hears him, hears him when he prayed the morning, he cries out to him. He waits expectedly throughout the day. And so you know, I've often talked to y'all about living your life as a life of it expectation. That's the only way to draw a great life is to expect a great life. The only way to think to be a great person is you have to think great people thoughts. If you want to be successful, you have to have successful thoughts. If you have negative thoughts, you're gonna be a negative person. So I've often said, you know, a man is as he thinks, and you have to live your life in expectation. But this really clear to love for me. Man. I'm giving it to y'all. Psalms too through four and I just started reading this and well it's three through four, but I read two through four. It said, my King and my God hear me. When I cry for help, I pray to you Lord. In the morning You're hear me, and then that morning I pray to you and I wait on you in hope. That's that expectation, y'all. That has changed the game for me, because it's taught me so many things, man, about how my mindset should be to be again the day. And even if you're not getting the things on your request list, be thankful for him, because just because somebody told you no, that ain't necessarily God telling you no. And a lot of times people get off, they hustle too quick before the real blessing come through just because that person said no. Maybe God working on it from another angle. But as soon as you hear no and you stop wanting it or hoping for it, now your faith is gone in it. Now you can't get it because God don't give you what you won't He give you what you believe. So from now on, when you hearing no, leave it on your list. You don't know. That's that person told you know. You don't know what God doing on the other side, but he hear you every morning. He do here. I just want y'all know that, so try to try to scripture I told you about. That's it, y'all have a great eas drop it all right.
