Y'all know what time of y'all don't know. Y'all back all suit back to back down, giving them more like the milking buck things in its tubbles. Y'all me through good it, Steve, listen to movie together for Studley. I don't join by join me, be doing me. You gotta turn, you gotta turn the turnour got to turn them out, turn the water the water go. Come come on your back, huh. I show will good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Yoh man. God is in the blessing business all day every day. God got hundreds of millions of blessings that he passes out every day. All I want to do is be the recipient that I'm the recipient of what He has for me. That's all I want. I just want God's favor, and I go. I want God's blessings. You know, of course I need his mercy and his grace, but I just want his blessings and his favor. I want. I want that in my life because it does things for me that I'm absolutely incapable of doing for myself. And I've been a recipient of many of those, and you can be the recipient of them too. You already are, really, really, you already are. If you're getting up every morning, that's a blessing. If you're getting one day closer to anything you're trying to accomplish, that's a blessing. But now let me talk to you about this part right here, folks, because this is the part that messages people up a great deal. What happens when you get off track? What is that? What does that mean? When you get off track? See, I've been off track. I can't tell you how many times, and it happens in so many aspects of your life. But but what is it that makes getting off track so debilitating to some people? You know, there are some people who want stay off track. They off course, they off the dream, they own to something else. And you cannot allow the fact that you've gotten off track to stop. You can't tell you something. Everybody gets off track. There are people who are living their life's dreams in spite of getting off track. See what happens when you get off track? Here's the simple thing to do. The simple thing is just to get back on track. Now, that's that's But that's easier said than done, ain't it, Steve? Yeah? Because see, people, when you get off track, here's some of the things that happen. See you get the here come to they sayers, some of them from the outside, some of them internally. Here's what gets said when you get off track. See, I told you, I told you. You know you. You start hearing that it's not for you. Okay, this is all just because you got off track. It's not for you. Okay. Here's another one. Ain't meant to be. You can hear it, or you could say it. Well, I guess it's just not meant to be. But let me ask you a question, though, who made the rule that when you get off track you can't get back on? Who made that rule? Where has that written that once you get off track you can't get back on? See, because I'm gonna tell you something, folks, there's no such rule. As a matter of fact, it's quite the opposite. See, everybody, in pursuit of a dream, a goal and aspiration or a mission, it's going to get off track. Sometimes you're going to get derailed. They are going to be days where you're not going to get it right. That are going to be days where you feel like giving up. There's going to be days when you're just gonna flat out get it wrong. That's the journey. But let me tell you something. Every successful person that I know, ever met, talked to, set out, and chopped it up with, have shared one thing in common. We all get off track. We all get it wrong along the way. I don't care who the person is. The president got it wrong along the way. Your pastor got it wrong along the way. Qui director Kui got it wrong along the way. The principle at your school got it wrong. Along the way. The valor Victoria of your class got it wrong along the way. The star of the team got it wrong along the way. They've all been off track. Your boss down at your job, he got it wrong along the way. Your immediate supervisor got it wrong along the way. Everybody I know that has any measure of success in in every level that you call success, however you want to label it, has gotten off track. As a matter of fact, it's impossible. Listen to me, it is impossible not to get off track in pursuit of your dreams, goals, visions, aspirations. It is impossible. Don't you let nobody tell you that they got through life unscathed, that they made it because they was just so determined and I would let nothing turn me back. Yeah, you might not have let nothing turn you back because you here all but you thought about it. Oh you thought about it on days when you was off track. But see, people don't like to tell the whole story. They just want you to think as much as you can about them. So when they tell you their story, they leave out the stuff alone. The way it was just hard work and determination that got me here. No it wasn't, No, it wasn't. It was the fact that you got off track and the grace and mercy God allowed you to get back on. His forgiveness allowed you to get back on because you would not believe what some of the people have done. So when you get off track, don't allow the naysayers outside and the big naysayer inside, because let me tell you something, the biggest naysayer of them all comes from inside. See, it don't matter what other people say out there. It takes some time for you to learn this, And I understand because it took me some time to learn it. See, I have a lot of naysayers out there, But I ain't operating for them, operating function for the ones that love me, for the ones that get me, for the ones that understand what I'm really trying to do. And so don't you be the one that doesn't allow yourself to get back on track when you get off track, because, like I said, who made the rule up that you can't get back on track? There's no such rule out there. Stop stopping yourself from getting it right. So what you started to diet at the beginning of the year, and you already off, start another one, start over, try it again, don't ever stop trying. If you stop trying, you can't make it. But if you never give up the effort, if you never give up and say it's over, it ain't over. You heard just saying it ain't over to the fat ladies saying I never invite her, she's not invited. It ain't over, to the fat ladies, saying I don't know where the fat ladies stay. I am not sent her an invitation to none of my events. She's not welcome here. She didn't ask me a couple of times, how come I never get invited? Because you're gonna start saying it and I ain't got time for that, all right. Stop inviting the fat lady to all your events. Thank you, you're listening, ladies and gentlemen. Here is Steve Robbing Morning show in your mouth? Do it, Steve? Are you doing looking real good today?

I mean, I mean, I mean, what's the problem if we can get them all in there and you will serve I mean, I think that's a I don't even think if for one, it's legal in this state or any state, three people in one casket, um and ethics wise, I uh, that's not really something that How can I say that we actually you know, but if you customizing a casket, Calvin, then you ought to be able to put as many people in there, if you make it deep enough and wide enough. Ought to be to get three people in there. Right. Well, the customization is is the outer side of the casket and maybe you know some people uh even put TV screens on the inside or some of their their their loved ones, memorable momentums. We customize it for that, you know. Colorwise? Uh so what about when and when is a person real? Big? Uh? You know, haven't said person? You know? You got to have a cast that's can accommodate them, right, yes, But okay, so so you ought to be to put you ought to be able to put three people in one casket if they can fit. If you put two one way, in one the other other way. Then you ought to be to have all three of them in there at one time. Um, is there anybody else around you and your family that can help talk with me about this? I'm talking right now. I'm trying to get I'm trying to accommodate my cousins and get them straight.

Buggle up, hold on tight, we got it for you. I dish at all all right subject one big, happy family or nothing at all. Dear Stephen Shirley, I've been dating a man for three years and we get alone great. We've talked about getting married, but we have to work out a few kinks first. Both of us have teenage kids from previous relationships, and I spend a lot of time with his kids every other weekend. He is always around my kids because I have sole custody of them. We always joke about his kids like hanging out. Excuse me, We always joke about how his kids like hanging out with me more than him. If I am doing something for my kids, I include his kids. I buy them gifts for birthdays, Christmas, or just because I buy them gifts, and there's no separation to me. But over the weekend I had the strangest conversation with my boyfriend about the kids. He told me that this Christmas he plans to focus more on his kids and spend quality time with them alone during the holidays. I was shocked to hear this. Over the years, he's been good to my kids, but I do see a difference in how he treats them and how he treats his own kids. My kids love him, so I never make a big deal out of it. The fact that he is trying to make a big distinction between the kids really hurts my feelings. Blended families are tricky and we've been trying to make it work, but this was a harsh reality check. My kids come first, but I'm able to love his kids as my own. Now I have doubts about marriage. Am I overthinking this? Stephen Shirley? What do you think? No, you are not overthinking anything. I say what you see and what you know, because when people show you, and in this case, tell you who they are, please believe them. I mean, Okay, let's look at the facts. This man that you've been with for three years told you that this Christmas he just wants to spend quality time with his kids alone during the holidays. What else do you need to hear. It's the holidays, That's the time when you and your man and kids. You know, you guys are supposed to spend family time together, not apart. So again, what else is it that you need to hear? I mean, he doesn't want to be with you, and he doesn't want to be with you and your kids for Christmas? Okay, In this relationship, you're all in. You are just everything. In this relationship, you have accepted as teenage kids. You spend a lot of time with them, You remember their birthdays and other special occasions. You buy them gifts and stuff. He, on the other hand, makes a difference between his kids and your kids, and you're right. In order for a blended family to work, you have to show love to everyone, even if in your heart you love your own kids more. And I think that's pretty normal to feel that way. You have a special bond with your kids, you carried them and all of that. But you know you're fair and loving on the outside. But your man is not doing that and he's not trying to hide it. Even though you say your kids love him and you haven't made a big deal out of it, it is a big deal because he sounds like he has checked out of this relationship and on his way out of this relationship. Someone who's thinking of marriage, of marrying you, would not want to be without you on this Christmas. Okay, sounds like he's gonna be with someone else. Steve, Well, Shirley, I have to agree with you now. So here we go. This lady been dating this man for three years, everything going great, talked about getting married, but they need to work out some kinks. You know, both of them got kids. He spends a lot of time and he's always around the kids because she got soul custody of them. We joke about how his kid is like hanging out with me more than him. And then you know, if I'm doing something for my kids, I include his kids. I buy him gifts for birthdays, Christmas, everything, no separation to me. But over the weekend he had a little conversation with my boyfriend about the kids. He told me, he say this Christmas, he playing it on, focusing more on his kids, spend quality time with them alone during the holidays. I was shocked to hear this. Over the years, he's been good to my kids, but I do see a difference in how he treats them and how he treats his own kids. My kids love him so I never made a big deal out of the fact that he's trying to make a big distinction between the kids. Really hurt my feelings. Then the families are tricky, Yes they are, and I've been trying to make it work, but this is a harsh reality check. My kids come first, but I'm able to love his kids as my own. Now I have doubts about marriage. I'm overthinking this. I think you all got to sit down and have a conversation. Something is happening where he's feeling like he's obviously not paying close enough attention to his own kids. So he decided this year he goes spend times with his kids alone. Somebody that said something to him. He didn't come to this conclusion on his own. Somebody said something to him. Somebody said, you know what the kids feel like, you just treat everybody better than them. They come up and they feel like you'll step child. Somebody fed this information to him. All one of the kids said something to him. That's the only reason for he just suddenly go like this. So he's trying to prove that that's not true. So he gonna be spending a lot of time with just his kids alone on Christmas and he's been with her for three years. Yeah, I don't know how he thinks that's gonna Yeah, he been not later, he been not say that nobody didn't lay down. He's been a mess the kids and then lay down. He can't go to sleep in that house. I can't make that statement. And didn't go get into bed and starts snow. No, that's been to being a temp on your life. But that was kind of cold though. I mean, yeah, he plans to focus more on his kids and spend quality time with them alone during the holiday. Word. Oh all right, Steve, we'll hang on. Part two of your answer is coming up. Um, we'll take a short break here and come back at twenty three after the hours. Subject one big happy family or nothing at all. You're listening, all right, Steve U. This letter is crazy.

You don't want to miss it. At forty nine after the hour you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Steve Harvey, you've brought your fabulous, uh and very insightful, very informal, very motivating closing remarks. Back is something that you started years ago when you first started the Steve Harvey Morning Show. And people have grown to love them and and you know to live by them and be inspired by them. So what do you have for us? Here's today a real good piece of motivation and makes your quest to become successful a little bit simpler. You know, oftentimes people are stuck in a rut because they can't think they way clear to see the end result. What I mean by is some people make such lofty goals and then they sit there without a plan of attack to achieve that lofty goal until they've created a goal that seems so daunting that they don't even start the process of a trying to accomplish it. For example, and this doesn't have to be the case. I'm just using this as an example. Let's say you want to be a millionaire and you say, wow, I want to make a million dollars, and then you start thinking of how to make the million dollars, and because you can't, it becomes so daunting. Making a million dollars is difficult. If it were easy, wouldn't you do it by Friday? Wouldn't you? Of course you would. But it's a little more difficult than that. So here's what I had to learn in my life. Everybody listening to this was born with a gift. It's inside of you. Because God is very fair, he didn't put it on a mountaintop, he didn't hide it under a rock. It's in you. And your gift is the thing that you do to absolute best with the least amount of effort. In that lies your greatest chance for success. There's a scripture that says your gift will make room for you and put you in the presence of great men. Let's just look at the first part of that, your gift will make room for you. My interpretation of that has meant what my gift has done for me. It has allowed me to spread out, It has taken me places I never dreamed got gold. Your gift will do the same thing for you. So now let's just talk about your ability to it to the million. I think it's what your gift, because if that's what that he gave you and instill that you at birth, was to make room for you, here's your chance. Now how do I do that? Steve? I call it to maximize your effort by ten theory. It's just something I came up with driving when I was home listening, coming up without to make it, and I discovered something. All of you have something that some would pay you ten dollars to do. Some of you paint, some of you teach, some of your babysitting tutors. Some of you work with your hands. Some of you can sing, some of you can choreograph. Some of you there's so many things. Cut grass, I play the piano, some of you do something. Some of y'all work on cards, some of y'all drive. But all of you have something that you will do that someone will give you ten dollars to do. All of you have something that someone will pay you ten dollars to because you do something that someone else can't do. So now all you gotta do instead of trying to figure out how to make a million dollars. It's go make the ten dollars that you're able to make. Once you make that ten dollars, I want you to do it ten more times. When you do it ten more times, you now have one hundred dollars. Once you have one hundred dollars, it's very simple. Do the same thing you did to make one hundred dollars ten more times, you now have one thousand dollars. See, you don't have to keep thinking of something else to do. Just keep doing the same thing that you've been doing. Just do it. Multiply the effort. It's the effort that maximizes and brings about the fruition of what your life can be. So, if you make a thousand dollars and you do that ten more times, I have news for you. Now have ten thousand dollars. Now, now, in order to make a one hundred thousand, you might need a little bit of help. You might need to high somebody to help you do the thing that you do. But if you make ten thousand dollars and you do what you did to make ten thousand dollars, which is the same thing you did to make ten dollars, if you do it ten more times, you now have one hundred thousand dollars. Now, listen to me. Friends, Once you have a hundred thousand dollars, I could assure you you are going to need help because in order to maximize one hundred thousand dollars, you have to have some like minded people around you. Nobody gets to the top alone. Nobody becomes successful and wealthy by themselves. They form partnerships, relationships, they get employees. But once you make a hundred thousand dollars doing the same thing you did to make ten dollars, if you do it ten more times, I have news for you, my friends. Congratulations, you have just made one million dollars with a ten dollar idea. Stop trying to figure out how to make the million. What all you gotta do is take your ten dollars gift that God has put in you. It's a million dollar gift that you have. You just haven't broken it down inch by inch. Anything's as sinch and maximize the efforts. That's how you become successful. These jokes that pay me what I make now, it's the same jokes that pay me twenty five dollars a night. They're the same jokes. It's all English. This is not in another language. I don't know no more words now than I knew then. I've taken these twenty five dollars jokes and I maximize them over and over and over and over and over and over and over. It's the same jokes I was telling babysitters who charge fifty dollars to watch kids. Babysitters end up opening up daycare centers. Daycare centers turned into franchises, crime dollar crime monastory schools. These are national franchises. Somebody was just babysitting. My partner used to cut grass. First three dollars in the front, three dollars in the back. He got a landscape and come to Cleveland. He made four million dollars a year. You know what he do? He cut grass, same six dollar grass cutn't he been doing? You? Check out some trucks. Now, what is it that you do that somebody will pay you ten dollars that you can maximize your effort for and turn it into your million. Trying to figure out how to make the million. Take your ten dollars skills set and start hammering it and beating it and working it and grinding and hustling and multiplying and magnifying it and you will make a million dollars. That's my closing remm. Thank y'all very much. Thanks all right now called boy. Yeah, y'all have a great weekend. For all Steve Every contests. No purchase necessary, void where prohibited.
