Y'all know what time to y'all don't know y'all have a suit looking back to back down, giving them more like the Millian buck things and its cub me true good it. Steve has listening to the movie together for stement. Please I don't join rad join me to be doing me. You gotta turning them, 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. Uhh, I shall will a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harley got a radio show. Here we go today. I think I have something for a lot of people today, at least I hope I do. And this is about on your journey, And this is about something that happens to us all. I mean, what happens to all of us from time to time when we get discouraged, What happens to all of us when we feel like quitting, What happens to all of us when we have that turn back moment. What happens to all of us when it don't seem like it's gonna pay out? Because I want you to understand something that everyone, every single living soul, has those thoughts about something at some point in their life. I mean, you know, look, I've oftentimes been discouraged about things not happening as fast as I like them. All things don't pan out the way I would like for them to have panned out. I mean, there's so many ways to get discouraged. But but what my encouragement to you is when discouragement comes is understand this. It is a part of the growth process. It is a test. It is a test of your faith. How bad you want it? Do you really believe? That's all faith is. It's simply, and I've said this how many times. Faith is to belief in things that you cannot see. So when discouragement comes, set back comes, it is a test of your faith. At least it's been that way for me. Now other people can explain it another way. I'm not other people. I can only give it to you the way it has come to me and throughout my life, and man on man on man. Discouragement sometimes it's tough to deal with because it seems at times when you are discouraged that is so absolute that this means the end. And if you allow it to set in, it can be just that the end of you. When Milly Milly, it was a test, that's all it is. But the majority of people that I know who are not successful or who have told me the story of how they gave up, it was because at a moment of discouragement that they allowed it to set in and it became so engulfing that it became the reason why you shouldn't finish. And then they started justifying it with hither one that I hate to hear. Well, if if it's God's will, excuse me, if it's God's will that you fail. If it's God's will that you're not successful, If it's God's will that you lay down and give up, it's God's will that you allow yourself to amount to, to not reach your potential, that's God's will. That's not the God I know. That's not the God I served, That's not the God I've read about. That's not the God I believe in. I'm sorry, I just my mother always taught me something that he didn't bring me this far to leave me. I just don't believe that. Not for a second. Now have I convinced myself or some things, yep, have I allowed the devil to come into the picture and paint a different one from it. Yep, yep, I've done all of that. But you can't blame that on God. Now, come on, So when discouragement comes, try to look at it if you can, as a test of your faith, and you merely have to pass the test. It could be for a day, a half a day, a few hours, a week, a few weeks, it don't matter. Don't nobody know how long the test period is. Your job is to keep the faith and keep moving. Keep the faith and keep moving, keep working, keep believing, keep hope alive. That's your job. If you do that, that's how you pass the test. It could be over tomorrow, it could be over in two weeks, it could be over in a month. You don't know. But all you got to do is wake up and keep the faith and fight the discouraging feelings. And how do you do that? Steve? Now here we go. This is the part I know about for show because how many times I've had to fight off discouragement in order to get to where God wanted me to be. What do you do when you become discouraged? Well, here's a series of things. I do. I think of the outcome. When I get discouraged about a task, I think about the outcome. Man, what would it be like if I were to complete the task? What would it be like? Man? What would the outcome be for me? If I hung on in there? If I didn't give up, if I if I imagine, I imagine if I don't quit, I imagine if I don't give up, what would it be like? Man, Suppose everything I'm hoping for comes true. But if I don't quit and give up, that might just be the case. I start talking to myself like that, I think of what the upside is. What's the upside to stay in with it? You see, all this is the same thing. I'm just giving you different ways to look at it. I'm saying the exact same thing over and over. But I'm just trying to find the switch that connects in your mind where you can say, Okay, man, I'm gonna hang in there. Because if you think of the outcome and the outcome is appealing to you, if you imagine what it would be like if you don't give up or you don't quit, if you think only of what the upside is to stay in with it, and then I go, where can this lead to? If I stay with it, man, and the outcome comes true? What else could that lead me to? Because I mean, there's always more to it? So where else could this lead me to? What are the possibilities? Man? What are the limitless possibilities? What could God possibly have in store for me? If I just hang in there? If I passed this test of faith? If I just passed this test, Now, it ain't gonna be the only one. But you gotta get past this one. No, then you gonna hear a smooth plane. Then it's gonna be another one. It's gonna be another one. Life ain't none but a series of tests. Man. Man, when you're thinking about giving up, when you're discouraged, think of the outcome. Imagine what it would be like if you don't quit, if you don't give up. What's the upside to staying with it? Where can this all lead to? What? What can this get you too? If you do this and you get to where you think you want to be? Oh my god, what's after that? What are the limitless and endless possibilities of holding on to your faith? What could really be out there for me? Man? If I just passed this test. You gotta talk yourself off into hanging in there. And sometimes it ain't nobody talking to you about hanging in there but you. But that's good enough because God has a blessing for you. God's got a blessing with your name on it. God has packages bundle up with your name on it. He got blessings just in boxes with your name on it. Man, I want all the mind shipped. I'll be on Faith Street waiting there to receive. I just I'm just believing he's shipping stuff. But if you keep moving from the address of Faith, if you keep getting off Faith Street where you want the packages to go, they got your name on it and it's based on your faith. But if you keep moving on Doubt Avenue and ain't no way Boulevard and the package get delivered only the Faith Street what you keep moving off Faith Street for? Come on, man, you can't give up. You can't give up. You're listening, ladies and gentlemen. It's about to go down. That's what he says. Get a cute something, Get a cute something, boy. Let me get this out the way.

This is a trip with the news on this Friday. How Stamocrists say they're expecting to get a look at the entire Mala report, despite Republican lawmaker's best efforts of keeping that from happening. As House Speaker Nancy Pelosi puts it, quote, to us, it's inevitable. To them, it's inconceivable. Meanwhile, The New York Times reports that some of the investigators who helped Mulla put that report together are unhappy with the way that US Attorney General William Barr has characterized what they found in his four page so called summary. They'd like to see the whole report issue to the Republic as well. The head of the Ethiopian airline says that Boeing did not properly train pilots on the new safety system they installed on the seven thirty seven Max aircraft. Ethiopian investigators say that the flight crew of their Dooms seven thirty seven struggled to control the craft almost immediately after take off. It crashed, with all on board killed. Four months after that, you know, another Boeing four months rather earlier than that, another Bowing seven thirty seven crash. This one was part of Indonesia's air fleet, and everyone on that flight was killed as well. Boeing CEO Dennis Muhlenberger says the company is working on an immediate software update. It's our responsibility to eliminate this risk. We own it, and we know how to do it. Both crashes claim three hundred and forty six lives. People all over the country are scratching their heads about the workings of the Dallas, Texas Police Department, even though some more people are screaming. That's because a young black woman is seen on video last month alone in a dark parking lot, stalked and harassed and beaten up by a white man. He brandishes a gun. She tries to phone the police. He knocks the phone out of her hand and proceeds to punch her in the head like she's a man, repeatedly and again. All this is seen on video. Nevertheless, the victim is being charged with felony criminal mischief for leisurely damaging her attacker's pickup because she did that when after he hit her, she went and attacked his pickup. Meanwhile, her white attacker only charges misdemeanor assault. But then they were angry protests in the streets and the Dallas cops didn't decide, well, maybe we should upgrade the charges on the racist attacker to aggravate his assault with deadly weapon a second degree founding with unlawfully carrying a weapon as well. Pittsburgh City Council's given final approval to a measure their restrict certain time guns, including military style automatic weapons. Chicago is suing Jesse a smalllett to get the money spent on police over time in his alleged assault case. Sears is saying he's getting read open. Their first bunch of small stores are in bankruptcy. Remember Herman Kane, the black multi millionaire owner of Godfather's Pizza. Well, President Trump has nominated him to fill one of the two empty seats on the Federal Reserve boards.

So that's what we are. And I'm about the show. Yes, I haven't heard anything else. Yeah, I haven't heard anything. And this is the sixth season. I think we're going into the sixty sixth seasons and that is it. So you're gonna get it. Didn't need some story. They didn't do the one he told Okay, alright, imitating life six episodes right there. Yeah, I mean I'm like this, man, I think enough is enough. Here's a deal. The public consensus people think that he made the story up, but obviously that was something that proved something someone did wrong that gave him the ups on this whole thing. He obviously did something right and somebody did something wrong somewhere, so all charges are dropped. Jesse Smollett is free to go. The anger, the anger of him going and being allowed to go, It's like, the outrage is really abnormal for someone who really is being accused of lying, wasting time and lying at worst, it's what you can get him. But when the outrage of these cop killings, the outrage of the other killings, especially when it comes from a city mayor, and when it comes from a politicians, we want the same for all of it. If you could just be that mad about a cop getting away with killing a person after we just saw the damn video, if we could get that angel mad, the anger you got for Jesse Smillett, if we could just put that to a murder McDonald brother, yeah, man, man, man, we could be onto something. Yeah. Seriously, I'm just I'm just tired of him talking about this because this ain't that damn. And you're wasting more time filing a civil lawsuit and all of this. You know, you're keeping it going when it doesn't have to be. Yeah, because he can't go to jail behind the lawsuit, right, not No hundred and thirty. That's a bill. You can't go jail for. Not pick That's what I mean. You can't go to jail for Wow. Yeah, Terashi got him up off her though when she was on the view every day. Yeah, yes, we do. What else you gonna be on the show? I don't know what day I heard nothing else. Don't come for me? Is real? Yes, she did, cookie and she said it so sweetly. Um, I talked to him every Yeah, every day I talked. I talked to him every day. That night, I ain't heard nothing else. I heard nothing else. Will he be on the show? That's what I heard. I heard nothing else? All Right?

If you need advice and relationships on dating, work, sex, 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 reading this one. Buckle up, hold on tight, let's go, baby, We got it for you. The Strawberry Letter subject my past fling is her new thing. Dear Stephen Shirley, I am a thirty year old happily married female with a beautiful family. I need your advice and how to handle a little situation with my ex and my sister. Ten years ago, I had sex with a guy and it was like a friends with benefits situation because we were both young. He and I have sort of a keep in touch. We've sort of kept in touch over social media, but I have not seen each other in years until recently when I ran into him at the mall and he told me that he met my younger sister and had been hanging out with her. Now, I don't have any feelings whatsoever for this guy, but I know that he is known to be a playboy, so I don't want him messing with my sister, never mind the fact that he and I had a sexual relationship. I told him that I did not want him dating my sister, and he told me that I had no say in the matter. I called my sister and asked her why she hadn't told me about her new man, and she said that it was going so good she didn't want a jinxet. I told her that I knew him very well and had sex with him several times. She said that didn't matter to her. At all, because that was in the past. I told her he has a lot of women, and she said, he told her about his past, and he's ready to settle down now with a good woman. No doubt that my sister is a great catch and any man would be lucky to have her. But I don't think this is the man for her. Isn't it a bit creepy that they both are okay with the fact that he and I have been together. This is such an awkward situation. I want to tell our parents, but I'm not sure if I should or should I just mind my business? Please advise, yes, big sister, you should just mind your business. Yeah you should. I know. You know this. You've used to date this guy and all of that, and you had a sexual relationship with him. And guess what, your sister knows that too. And she said it doesn't bother her at all because what's in the past is in the past, and everyone has a past. And he told her that he's ready to settle down. But it's interesting that he did tell you that he that he met your younger sister and had been hanging out with her. He didn't say that there was a lot to that relationship. That's all he said. But she seems like she's putting a lot more on it. So I mean, if I were you, I would just mind my business. You said your peace to your sister. I don't think you should involve your parents in it. I mean, I know you probably want them to talk to her, but you know that's how people learn, they make mistakes in life, they have experiences of their own. Again, you've told her, you told her what kind of guy he was. The more you talk against him, the more it's going to make her want to get closer to him. So if I were you, big sister, yes, I would mind my own business. You're thirty years old and happily married with a beautiful family. That's what you should be concentrating on. Steve, Wow, think this letter to truth. See what didn't happen is just thirty year old, happily married female with a beautiful family, had sex with a guy ten years ago. She was twenty. They were sort of friends with benefits, and he and you all stayed in touch over the years over social media. Man, you happily many all this here, but you in touch? What to dude that used to mess around with? Okay, what do you think was gonna come out of that? So you ran up into him at the mall. He told me he met your younger sister and they had been hanging out. Now you say, you don't like this guy, but he's a known playboy, and I don't want to mess it with my sister. Never mind the fact that he and I had a sexual relationship. Okay, Then you told him you didn't want to mess it with you said. Then he told you it wasn't none of your business. You ain't got nothing to do with it. Well, see, this is kind of a trick dude, right here, because if it wasn't your business, what he tell it to you? For See, if it wasn't your business, why did he bring it to you? Because he wanted you to know, because he wanted them to man, he just putting notches in his belt. So now here you go, told him you ain't one of me, you know. Then you call your sister asker, why why are you telling me? She said she had a new man who was going so good she didn't want the jinks all right. Then you set up and then you told him that you knew him very well, and then you told him you had sex with him several times. There's a lot of people telling stuff in this letter. They ain't got to be telling it. He didn't have to tell you he's mester with your sister, and you ain't have to tell your sister that you slept with him, but you did because you thought it would run him off. She said that it didn't matter to her at all because that was in the past. I ain't. Then you tried to some more information where he got a lot of women, she told me, and that was in his past. Oh, it's not a crazy it is now, Ain't no doubt. My sister's a great catch for any man be looking to have them. But I don't think this is the man for her. Ain't I didn't say it. Haven't you given some advice to someone that you knew was right? Somebody told me that and they ignored it. Hello, yeah, boy, that the twenties. Spent all my thirties straightening out my damn twitter. Spent all of my thirties straightening out my twenties. Then I took all my farty do what I should have done in my damn thing. But you got it together. I got together. But you look up and now your asses in a hurry. That's the truth, Steve, Man. You wake up and you realize I ain't got time for this no more. Yeah, but your sister and that because you know why, And I'll explain it to you when we come back. Because this is new generation, y'all, this new generation of young people. They different. I'm gonna talk to you about it. Okay, Well, we'll talk to it. We'll talk about it when we get back. Yeah, all right. We'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hour's subject, My past fling is her new thing. Right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve, Come on, Let's recap today's strawberry letter. My past fling is her new thing. Let's happen. Well, just like she said, this woman thirty years old, happily man. He was dating this man ten years ago to have sexual affair. They broke up, they stayed in touch with one another. She's happily married now. Beautiful family runs up into the guy tomorrow. They get to talking. All of a sudden, he tells her he'd been hanging out with your sister. You tell him you don't think that's cool. Why you mess me with my sister. I don't want you to dating my sister. He tells you, they ain't none of your damn business. You go home, get your sister. Tell your sister, Hey, I ran up in to him. Why don't you tell me you had a new man? She said it was going so good. She didn't want to jinx it. You told her, Well, I got news for you. This man ain't right for you. We say, have sex together. She didn't have told you. She don't care. She don't care. You know why, man, because I've been watching these young people, these young people nowadays. Man, they're a little bit different. Yeah, they're from a generation of instant gratification. They think if they instantly want it, they should instantly have it. Their work ethic is very different from ours. What they're wanting to put in to get out is very very different from our. And they so readily, I think they so readily forget a person's past because they're used to deleting stuff. And I think, man, that they're so used to swipe it right and swipe it left and deleting it that that makes it go away. And so a person can come to you and completely lie to you and tell you they've completely changed, and you sit there because they're telling it to you, and you're so gullible you go for That's what did happened to this young girl with this dude, I'm telling the things about me. She thinks she got something her sister tried to tell her. But you got a little trifling dude, man, because if he was all in that, he wouldn't have told the sister, I'm kicking it with your sister, and then when the sister told him she don't want to mess with it, he would have never told this woman. They ain't got nothing to do with you, okay, if it ain't had nothing to do with what you're telling me to it for the guy's tricky, man, He's a tricky dude. And the young girl can't see through this, but I can't, So I don't know what to tell you. Telling your mom and daddy ain't gonna change nothing, and don't keep talking against it. Now. This is what I don't understand that this is what you're afraid to do with girls. You be afraid to talk about the guy to them because everybody always say that or make her run to him and get closer. That ain't high dudes, dude, But why is it? Why is that so with girls? Sure? I never understood that. It's like, I don't know, it's like defiance or something. You know, they're trying to show you every they don't believe you. They believe this guy because they're all, you know, mentally and emotionally into this guy. They want him, you know, they don't want to hear they reject you and run to the guy for whatever reason. That's I mean, you know, it just makes them get closer to that guy. I mean, that's just how it happens with with with women. Yeah, and jealousy the one I think that the other woman or what whoever's telling her, you're just jealous and don't want to see me. Yeah, you just don't want me to be with it. Wow, Yeah, you just don't want me to be with him. That's crazy. No, she trying to save you some pain. But I don't understand that. Man, about this generation, what you had with him is different. I'm not You're different. Yeah, it's differently. Yeah, because all he said was he was hanging out with her. He told me that too, she said. The sister said that that. You know that there it's more to it than that. She thinks it's more to it than that. She thinks he's a great catch. Yeah, and she you know, they want to settle down and all of that, so I don't know, hanging out. Yeah, she can't talk against him though, because she wanted to change. They all say they want to change. Yeah, they sank. Every last one of us has said that he's just putting one notches on his building, right, Yes, that's exactly. Yeah. I had her and her sister, that's all. That's all this dude doing mad yep. And he wanted to make sure that the sister knew it. Yep. Yeah, she's got to stay out of it. This is a lesson that her little sister is going to have to learn, one of those life lessons. And you know what, that's a damn shame show. Yeah, it's got to happen. Yeah, it is because she's not trying to hear what her sister sank. And the more her sister said, the more she come back she has you know, trust me, he ignorant enough, he'll go back and try to go hit the big sister again to trust me here. Wow, well, guess what you know with a little sister she got her husband. Now I don't when you come over here, yeah, get ready to hit it. Yeah, when you come to hit it, okay, do it to me first, right, yeah. Yeah. Some people learn the hard way and some people never learn at all. But the minute he messed over, who you think the first person you gonna call him dead? Oh yeah, bixis yeah, big sis. It really bugs you when you see a person blowing it and tell you're blowing absolutely and they go down that road anyway. Yeah, and you man, you know what many times I wanted to say, hey, man, okay, just try to warn you. Bro, I did not tell you. Yeah, oh you thought you could change it. Oh you thought because you you just gonna say this, it was gonna be different. Nah yeah yeah, yeah, it's one of these life lessons that's gonna happen. So yeah, that's why. Yeah, that's why I said this. Big sisters just gonna have to mind her own business and just be there for you know, when when this falls, to be there for. Yeah, first, be there and don't say I told you so another just be there. Oh but I be won too though, I told yeah, because his little sister thinks he's really ready to settle down with a good woman. Now, girl, you ain't gonna believe what happened. Yeah, I am, go ahead. Let me get you caught him with somebody else, you know. All right, guys, we gotta get out of here. Email us or Instagram.

All right, we'll be back with the last break of the day and close out the show with some closing remarks from Steve Harvey right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve. Here we are last break of the day on this Friday. Uh, let's have some closing remarks. Come on. Here's what I was thinking. I was talking with Junior earlier today in my dressing room. He came in and we were just talking, and you know, we were talking about just life. It was somebody else's an address room. They asking man, what was them? What was What was a couple of big things that happened in your life? And I was thinking about when I was about twenty years old, twenty one, Yeah, about twenty one, I got into Amway, and Amway was a big moment in my life because they used to have these conventions that you had to pay this money to go to. And I was trying to be a direct distributor in a diamond and an Emerald and all of that, and George and Don Hale and they were making so much money and living these wonderful lives Bill Britt and all these people, and I was going, Wow, man, I gotta do that. So I went to a couple of the conferences. There's a lot of rale raw, but it really positive. Though. They turned me onto two books. Now, nothing is more powerful than the Bible. There's nothing out there comes close to this Bible. Whatever your religious reading is, the Torol, the Qoran. That that's what I mean when I say that. But they turn me onto two books to change my life. It was two books. It was the Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peel and the Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz. Now, the first book I had read, the ever self help book I ever read, was The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peel. And I gotta tell you something. That book is still for sale today. If you've never read that, you should, because it teaches you how to train your mind to think positively. It shows you the power that you can unleash in your own self. This is something you can control. The power of your mind is controlled and operates at its absolute peak performance when it's operating from positivity. You can't beat yourself off when you're being positive not negative positive. That book The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale began to change my life. That took a while for me to connect all the dots, but it started me along the way. I didn't know that I could do it all the time, even when I was feeling dark and gloomy and down, that I could fix it myself. I had to learn that a little bit later on. But you can absolutely fix yourself with the power of positive thinking. That book changed my life. It taught me that these positive thoughts generate positive results. Period. Negative thoughts generate negative results. If your idea of making money is selling doping robbing banks, the result from that of selling doping robbing banks can be nothing but negative. Somebody gonna try to hurt you, you go into prison. That's it. Period. Now, when you think positively, positive things start to come your way. Not to say that nothing bad will ever happen again, because it will, but let's be real. Life is gonna keep coming, but you can handle it. You can deal with it, and if you have a positive outlook, you'll get through that too. And behind every dog cloud there is really really a silver lining. So that was the first book The second book is called The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz. Oh my goodness, now, let me tell you what this book did for me. This book changed my life because it told me about the magic of thinking big, that it requires no more brain power to think big than it does small. You don't have to conjure up any more brain in sale, no more units to say Volkswagen, rolls Royce. They both take the same amount of effort. You can order the food the same way. I'm all to sell it. I'm all the chicklings. It don't take no more brain power to think bigger. It's simply a mindset. Now, the combination of these two books really was a game changer for me. And I'm saying it to y'all because sometimes I like reading stuff outside of the Bible. I just really do, just being real with you now, because I like hearing relatable things with today's language in and stuff like that. It just helps me. But both of these books, I'm telling you, man was written from basis of the Bible, and it brings just one scripture to mind, that a man is as he thinking. That's subscripture. We'll check this out. The power of positive thinking is directly related to how a man thinks. So once again the Bible is right. A man is as he thinking. The next book the magic of thinking big. Guess what the scripture says, get a man is as he thinking. So if you're thinking positive and you're thinking big, guess what happens to you? You suddenly can become a very positive, big person. Hello, ding ding ding ding ding. The damn bails ought to be going off, folks. Success is a mindset. And let me just throw this in.
