Y'all know what time of y'all don't know, y'all back a suit on, looking back to back down, giving them more like American buck things. And it's not doing me true good at Steve Hary listening to move together for Steve hard Please, Bobby, I don't join joining me. You gotta use turning. You gotta turn to turn them out, turn, got to turn them out. Then turn the water the water. Come come on your baby daddy. Uh huh, I sure will a good minding everybody you're listening to the voice, come on, dig me NW one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Okay, here we go today, folks. This is a good one because today I want to share with you something that affects every living soul, and that one thing is your attitude. This affects everyone. It is your attitude. You know. I don't know if anyone's ever told you, but I mean many of you who listen know this. But there are a lot of people who don't understand a positive attitude can bring about a change. A positive attitude can bring about a change. Well, now here we go with the nay says, well, Steve, what you mean if I'm just positive being chained. Un I'm a gonna what me being positive got to do with that? Okay, now listen to me carefully. A positive attitude can bring about change. Well, okay, Steve, I hear you saying that, But they didn't fired me. So now what does my having a positive attitude have to do with the fact that they fired me? Well, one more time. A positive attitude can bring about change. Or Steve, I set up in here and gave eight nine, twelve years of my life to this man and he just he cheated on me and walked out. Now what does me being positive have to do with him cheating on me? How that's gonna change that? Okay, here we go again. A positive attitude can bring about change. Now listen to the whole thing. Now, the positive attitude and the change that can happen starts it just is just start. It starts within you. See, life is ten percent of what happens is what you do about what happens. Okay, you gave twelve years of your life to this man. He cheated and left you hold in the bag, the kids and everything. Now what does being positive have to do with changing that? Or they came in and they fired you. You lost your job that you was a stellar performer at. But now, how does you having a positive attitude, How does that change things for you? So far? You can use any example. Here's what happens when you have a positive attitude. What it produces within you is a positive approach to life. And when you have a positive attitude and a positive approach to life, it causes you to be optimistic, to have a positive out look, to expect things to evic actually turn around and and and and turn into a positive That's very important because as the law of attraction comes into play, if you think positive thoughts, you attract positive things. If you think evil thoughts, you attract evil to you. You know, if you want for nothing, then nothing comes your way. If you want for a positive attitude, if you want for positive results, if you want for a great outcome, that's what you attract to you. The change will begin within you. So let's take the man that walked out your life and left you hold in the bag. Here's a positive attitude. Okay, two things have happened as positive here. Number one, you've ridd it yourself of someone who is obviously going to be if not already been toxic in your life, cause you many restless nights, a lot of uncomfortable feelings, an uneasiness, not sure in purity. You've been going through it with this person, whoever they are. Number One, that person has been released from your life. Number Two, it allows you now to have the someone who will treat you just the way you want to be treated. That's the positive outlook, that's the optimistic way. That's when you're a positive person. You see the positive in things that happen to you, instead of burying yourself under the what's wrong with it? A old woe is me now? Concept? See a positive attitude. When they came in there and they fired you and let you go, Could this not have been just the opening you needed to finally start on a new career path that you've been talking about doing anyway? Could it possibly be a brand new chance for you to get the dream job or dream career of your choice. Could it not possibly be the perfect opportunity now for you to finally finally do something about that gift, about that talent that God gave you, that thing that you love to do. Could it not be the perfect time for you to pursue that. But if you don't have a positive attitude, then you lay there. Oh they finn come getting my house. Oh what I'm gonna do now? All this unemployment ain't enough. Oh Lord, when this unemployment run out, what am I gonna do? Then I won't have nothing? And you old woe is me until you become old woe is me. But if you take it from the positive approach, some amazing things can happen in your life. I will tell you on a personal note, that's some of the most some of the best changes, some of the biggest moments in my life came after a loss. So I don't want to go down on the list, but boy, I could tell you. Let me let me tell you something. When they didn't want me on the radio anymore in La, when they didn't when they went, it was sicking the way I did radio out there, and they wanted me gone. And on May twenty third, two thousand and five, when my when? When? When? When my deal was done? With the beat out in La. Okay, Look what happened though, y'all? I was gone in May. But in September nineteenth I started to Steve Harvey Radio Network with four cities. You see, but I didn't go old woe was me. I said, oh okay, God must have something else from it then, because if he didn't remove me from this, that must be something else. Same thing can happened when you lose and you and you and you break up in a relationship. Same thing can happen to you. You never know the one God God for you that here you go, here you go again. Now you get put into a situation with somebody, treat you just to where you want to be treated, provide you the whole lot of aspects of your life you knew nothing about prior to that. But you gotta stay positive. If you stay positive, that positive attitude, that optimistic outlook, that that that always thinking God got me no matter what happened to me, some amazing things that's going can will happen in your life. It's a fact. I don't know how it works that way. I just know that's what it is. Positive attitude is everything, y'all. So get off the old woe is mean negativity train because it ain't gonna take you nowhere but down and get get your outlook up. If you change your attitude, you change your altitude. Altitude is determined by your attitude. How high you go, how big you become, how far you go. It all depends on how you think. It all depends on what type of attitude you got. It ain't no, ain't no very very successful, super negative people. It just doesn't coincide that way. If you see that something happened to them along the way, and don't weary. You ain't gonna wear ay about it because you ain't gonna see them long because you can't stay up there like that. It's just too hard. All right, that's the conversation you're listening to show.

We don't have time to delve into this any further than this. All right, coming up at the top of the hour, we'll have some entertainment and national news for you right after this. That guy come out you're listening to show. As we reported before, a number of fires have firefighters in California residents they're on edge. Everyone is as a Kincaid and getty. Fires continue to rage. Hollywood stars are among the thousands of residents forced to evacuate their homes amid the blaze. Celebrity evacuees include Lebron, James, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and more, many of which are taking to social media to share updates as they seek refuge. The stars are thanking the best firefighters in the world for putting their lives on the line to protect Californians from the blaze. That is correct right there. Rolling power outages, which have been ordered by Pacific Gas and Electric to reduce the risk of more wildfires, is leaving close to one million people in the dark. Weather conditions aren't expected to improve for at least another couple of days. Strong winds and dry air will continue to fan the flames. And we are definitely praying for our neighbors California. It's close. My son's home had to be evacuated and you know, yeah, he had to get out. It's way too. It's just a lot going home, man. But like I tell people all time, it's property. You can get some own property. Don't stay and try to fight no flames. Those ambers with these winds, get out of there. That's what loans. We have a lot of sporadic fires because that wind blow them ambers and the roof catch on fire and the house next to it might not be, but then it blow over a block over in that house on fire. We don't have enough firefighters to fight all this because it containment is so so much. That's a blaze. So please pay pay attention, very very close attention to these announcements of evacuation. Yeah, you lived in Texas, and you know how we have flood insurance and that's all I really know about because I grew up in Texas. Do they have insurance for stuff like that? Yeah? Yeah they yea, yeah, yeah they have fire But you it's a lot of people are having a real hard time in certain sections collecting on the fire money. Uh, there's people suing. Yeah, it's a lot of people suing companies. I can't tell you all the reasons why, but some people are are very very slow and being told that they won't receive benefits because you gotta excuse me, pay attention to what type of fire that it is, because they you know, insurance companies are tricky, man. They have loopholes. So everybody that helps right doesn't necessarily get it. Like I know a part of mine whose house caught on fire because of the fire, but the ambers blew over and his neighbor's house caught on fire, which caught his house on fire. He was fighting to get the wild nature fire. Whatever they have, I don't really know. I've never had a lost the house about five Yeah, I don't really know. But not everybody. Wow, it's not automatic coverage. Just like flooding, it's not always Yeah, you know, water damage is not always covered. You got to really know what type of coverage you have. Yeah, And can just say another shout out to the firefighters because they do an awesome job. They really really do. They take a risk. Yeah, they do ye all day, all night, all yeah, anytime they're out there. Yeah, you know, And Steve, that was a good what you said, because that's a good It's a good time for everyone to brush up on their insurance policies to know what they're covered, what they have, whatever part of the country that you live in. Because you got fires on the West coast, you got hurricanes, tornadoes and mids, blizzards, flooding. Yeah, you need to know what it really is and to what extent and the fine print is hurting a lot of people, yeah, a lot because these natural disasters. It's like the new norm. Now. That's what California Governor Gavin Neuson was saying. Yeah, this is crazy. One of those flurries can catch his house on fire if he the house next door. I'm just using as an example for everybody to know what your coverage is and thoroughly understand and ask questions because there's a lot of people right now that's suing who are homeless. That is a mayor. I wish I could think of him because I just saw him on LATV the other day. It's a mayor that still running his business but he's living in back of his business because his home was burned down in fire, and he's suing though insurance company because they won't pay his benefits. It's a lot. You have to know what you have. Flooding and water insurance is very very It's it's different, tricky. You know, flooding In addition, flood insurance is an addition to property. It's not it's not included. Like you're saying, Steve, you gotta know what you have. Yeah sure, yeah, yeah, Well you weren't believe people that's in fights with insurance companies thinking they were covered for a certain type of thing that happened to their home. Find out is not Yeah, so you know you have to pay att Yeah. And according to the Chicago Tribune, in a twist on carpool karaoke, Kanye West and It's one hundred plus member choir saying on his airplane on Monday's The Late Late Show with James Gordon, the setup went like this. James Gordon's flight back to la was canceled, so he hits the ride with Kanye. Kanye offered Cordon the dreaded middle seat on the plane, but it may well have been the best seat in the house because they were jamming and rocking on the plane, performing Jesus walks and more.

Here it is Strawberry Letter. All right, thank you, nephew. Subject my husband's behavior is bugging me. Dear Stephen Shirley, I have a problem that's bugging me. My husband has always been attracted to big butts and a smile, and his girls before me were very ratchet. Recently, he's been telling me that he is taking odd jobs across town for extra money. He's been a carpenter by trade. He is a carpenter by trade and a handyman on the side. I haven't seen any of the extra money, so I got suspicious. I know he likes the company of other women, but I thought that was in his past. Well. One evening, when I was lying in bed, I noticed a few black spots on his pillow and along the top of our bed. I suspected further and realized. I inspected further and realized they were bedbugs. I checked my body and I noticed a few marks on my arms up by my shoulders, and I went to the doctor and found out that they were definitely bedbugs, but it wasn't a bad case. I called my husband and asked him to come straight home after work because I figured he brought the bugs home. He came home and I noticed he had the same pattern of red spots on his neck, his shoulders, and down both arms. I told him that they were bedbugs, and I accused him of bringing them into the house. He told me they may have come from one of the houses where he did some plumbing work. I didn't believe him, so the next night I followed him. He drove straight to the ghetto, parked his truck and went inside in a part without knocking. I knew then that he was spending time with a nasty female and he must have brought her bedball bedbugs home with him. I texted him and told him I was onto him, and he didn't respond. Now he's ignoring me because I've asked him to leave his clothes outside when he comes home. He swears he's just doing a little extra work to make ends meet. I'm tempted to keep snooping because I think he's lying. What should I do? This is really bugging me and I need answers. Please help. Well, I mean, you know, if you're tempted to keep snooping, you know what happens when you snoop, you find stuff. If you think he's lying, If that's what your intuition is telling you, you know you're probably going to find something. But you know what, I just I don't like what you've done here though. I think you've made a sweeping generalization about the ghetto. I think it's stereotyping at its worse. You're saying, you know, just because your husband went to the ghetto to do some work, supposedly he brought home bedbugs and all of that about the nasty female. I just don't think you should say that. I mean, really, come on with this one. Who knows he probably is cheating, you know, since you say he's doing odd jobs. He went to this woman's house, he went in without knocking, so there's some familiarity there. You haven't seen any money with these so called odd jobs, so something is going on. It's definitely caused for concern, i'd say. But what really is a problem for me and all of this are these darned bed bugs. I mean, it's making me it's just reading this letter. You've got to get rid of them, to do something to get rid of them. And if you keep snooping and find out that your husband's been cheating, you probably need to get rid of him too. Steve, Well, you know, it's a kind of crazy one on. I really don't want to respond to this letter, cous I really don't care, right, you know, I got a problem that's bugging me. That's how she opened the letter. And then at the end of the letter, this is really buging me and I need answer. Is you writing jokes? Because it sound to me like you wrote this letter trying to be uh uh, you know clever. Now you're open up your letter telling me how your husband been attracted to big butts and smiles and all these girls before me was very ratchet. Well, don't carry I'm assumed that you have a small button. Now I'm gonna and I'm I'm gonna assume that you bushy. So you're a little booty woman. That's bullshy. He liked big butt girls, that's ratchett. All his girl's been up till he got you. Now hedn't told you he did started taking our jobs across town for ext your money because he's a carpetent of any man. But you ain't seen none of the extra money, so I got suspicious. Then you're saying the letter that you know he likes the company of other women. Why y'all married. You're married to a man who you said likes big butts and ratchet you I'm assuming the way you wrote this letter have a small butt and it's bushie. Then you said you know he likes the company of other women, meaning other than you, So you're never surprised throughout this letter. It's what throws me off, you know, But you thought it was in his past. Then you was laying in a bed and noticed some black spots on his pillow and along the top out bed. I ain't I have never seen a bad bug, but I didn't know they were black spots. I thought that you made leeching ticks. I don't know what you got in your bed, but they bad bugs. And you checked your I didn't you notice these marks and everything? You went to the doctor. He said, they definitely bed bugs. But it wasn't a bad case. What is a what is a good case of Yeah, how don't you have it? Ain't a bad case? What's a good case of animals in your baby? Yeah? Because there was just on your neck and shoulders, that's all right now. They were down that by your booty. But you can't take no bood bikes on your booty, according to your letter, because you have such a small one. Little boy, little boy. All right, we'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hour. Today's subject my husband's behavior is bugging me. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve, Come on, let's recap today's Strawberry Letters subject my husband's behavior is bugging me? Yeah, yeah, yeah, This lady isn't out of husband and like big busts and ratchet women. All his women before you was big booty and ratchet. Now all of a sudden he got you. I'm assuming do the ladder, you got a small booty and your bullshet. Well, then you told us that you know that your husband, being a carpeter, was trying to make extra money, but he has a thing for other women. He likes the company of other women. But you thought that was in this path. Well, you know there's some black spots on this pillet on top of the bed. You realize that they was bid bulls. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And then you checked your body and notice so you had some marks on your arms and shoulder. Then you go to some doctor and found out there was big books. But it wasn't a bad case. She's so calm. I never man, she's calmed through this whole letter. It wasn't a bad case. Like I said before, what's a good case a bid bulls? Yeah, because you know that you just had him on your neck and shoulders, so you're assuming that this is a bad case. You say, it wasn't a bad case, So let's move on. He came home and you know you figured that he bought the bed bulls. One he came home and you noticed that he had the same pattern, the red spots on his neck, his shoulders and down both his arms. I told him they was bad bugs, and then you accused him of bringing them into the house. Well, you don't know how they got there, but since you accused him, he told you could be from one of the houses he was working where he did some plumbing work. Because I don't know about you, but most plumbing ain't by the bed. You know, hard to find bad bugs under the sink. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe they can be they can be in furniture home. I didn't believe him, so the next night I followed him. He drove straight to the ghetto, parked his truck and went inside an apartment without knocking. I knew then that he was spending time with a nasty female and he must have bought her bed bugs home with him. I'm trying to figure out who this woman is and watches her man go in a dough without knocking and don't go in behind him. I'm assuming something else. I'm assuming that, first of all, you have a little butt. I'm assuming that you are bullshy, and I'm assuming that you scared you? Is this a black woman writing this letter? Ghetto? You follow your man to the ghetto, Watch him go in a house he don't even knock on the door, and you're sitting in the truck. What you're doing? You know the hell that would break loose in that house? Well, I said so. Anyway, I knew then he was spending time with a nasty female and he must have bought her bed bugs home with him. So now here's what she did. I text him and told him I was on to him, and he didn't respond. Girl, didn't didn't you just say he'd be doing plumbing work? Now hearing that plumbing, how is he gonna text you? Why he plumbing? Piping? Hearing that piping all up under your sink, fixing, seeing what's wrong? He piping and plumbing. He ain't got time to text you back. I'm starting to think this is not a black woman in this letter right now. I text him, told him I was on to him, and he didn't respond. Now he ignored me because I didn't ask him to leave his clothes outside when he come home. Over you watch the man. You watch your man go into the house of What you say is another woman without without knocking, without knocking, go in the house, you text him, he don't text you back. When he come home, you tell him to leave his clothes outside. Leave your clothes outside. Right, they're gonna have so many bullet holes in him. My wife is shooting the bed bugs off for me. He swears he just doing a little extra work to make ends me. I'm tempted to keep snooping. Oh yeah, that's what you need to do. Find out some mote. See if that's the only house he going over to the ghetto to get because I think he's lying. What should I do? This is really bugging me and I need answer. Lady, you didn't followed him. He drove you to somebody's house, went in without knocking. Nah, this could be an old customer. Maybe somebody left the dope and told him due to the piping while they was at work. What you want to find to see? You don't want to believe, no, but see your problem is, don't nothing up set you? You got bad bugs? That wasn't bad. He liked other women. I thought that was in the past. He liked ratchet women with big behind. I got small booty and I'm bushy. She did not say that. That's what she might as will say.

Hollywood stars are among the thousands of residents forced to evacuate their homes amid the blaze. Celebrity evacuees include Lebron, James, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and more, many of which are taking to social media to share updates as they seek refuge. The stars are thanking the best firefighters in the world for putting their lives on the line to protect Californians from the blaze. That is correct, right there. Rolling power outages, which have been ordered by Pacific Gas and Electric to reduce the risk of more wildfires, is leaving close to one million people in the dark. Whether conditions aren't expected to improve for at least another couple of days, strong winds and dry air will continue to fan the flames and we are definitely praying for our neighbors in California's close. My son's home had to be evacuated, and you know, yeah, he had to get out. It's way too It's just a lot going home, man. But like I tell people all time, it's property. You can get some old property don't stay and try to fight no flames those ambers with these winds, get out of there. That's what longers. We have a lot of sporadic fires because that wind blow them ambers and the roof catch on fire and the house next to it might not be, but then they blow over a block over in that house on fire. We don't have enough firefighters to fight all this because it containment is so so much. That's a blaze. So please play pay attention, very very close attention to these announcements of evacuation. Yeah, you lived in Texas, and you know how we have flood insurance and that's all I really know about because I grew up in Texas. Do they have insurance for stuff like that? Yeah, yeah they have, Yeah, yeah they have fire. But you it's a lot of people are having a real hard time in certain sections collecting on the fire money. Uh, there's people suing. Yeah, it's a lot of people suing companies. I can't tell you all the reasons why, but some people are are very very slow and being told that they won't receive benefits because you gotta excuse me, pay attention to what type of fire that it is, because they you know, insurance companies are tricky, man. They have loopholes, so everybody that helps right doesn't necessarily get it. Like I know a part of the mine whose house caught on fire because of the fires, but the ambers blew over and his neighbor's house caught on fire, which caught his house on fire. He was fighting to get the wild nature fire. Whatever they have, I don't really know. I've never had a lost the house by five. I don't really know. But not everybody. It's not automatic coverage, just like flooding is not always you know, water damage is not always covered. You got to really know what type of coverage you have. Yeah, all right, coming up next, our last break of the day and some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey at forty nine minutes after the hour. Right after this, you're listening, all right, Steve, Last break of the day, take us home with something good. Closing remarks. I want to just talk to you about what it really takes to make it, what it really takes to make it. Now. Look, I can, oh, you know, sit here and tell you a bunch of stuff that you know, sound like I'm really into public speaking, and I know all of what I'm talking about all is here in YadA YadA YadA. But at the end of the day, what people really want is real simple things that they can do to make it. People want to be successful, man, they really do. They don't. They don't want to not know what it's like to be happy, to be free, to be successful. They they want a simpler How should I put this? They want somebody to explain it to them and simplify it. That's what I'm trying to say. Well, guess what, I don't know if I'm the person that's qualified to make it the simplest. But let me tell you what I do. Though, if you want to be happy in this life, if you want to be successful, you're gonna have to develop a couple of things. Now, here's the thing that I want you to understand. Most people have what it takes to be successful, but if it does not start with the belief that you can be successful, you can never bring out the qualities in you of success. Listen to me again. Everyone has it in them to be successful, but if you don't bring them out, and that starts with the belief. If you don't have the belief that you can be somebody, that you're worthy, that you're qualified, that you're capable. If you don't start with that basic belief, it can never happen. So first things first, In order to be successful and happy in this world at whatever level you're talking about, happiness, success is for you, it has to start with the belief that it is for you. I believe that I should be successful. I believe that God wants me to be prosperous. I believe that He comes to give you life and give you life more abundantly. But you got to develop some things, man, And the way to develop them is start with the belief and hang on to the belief so strong that these attributes develop themselves. Resilience. If you believe hard enough that you can be successful, that you can be happy, it will automatically start to cultivate this thing that's in all of us. It's called resilience. All y'all got it. Everybody got it. You are resilient people. All of us are resilient. Hell, if you can survive the projects, you resil you. If you can survive public schools, you resili If you can survive walking through gang neighborhoods, because you still want education, you resili if you manage to get yourself a high school diploma or a ged resilient. And the more belief you have, the more of these attributes you can develop. You got to be tough. You know how you get tough. You got to believe that you tough. You got to believe that you can hang in now when all is against you. That's how you get tough. You get tough because you keep facing the test and you keep passing them. But all of that, you came past the tests unless you believe you can. Y'all, don't hear me. All of you have an inner strength. Listen to me, man, Don't you know even a homeless person has an inner strength? What is it that gets a person to live under bridge or live in the refrigerator box, or live in some of these homeless encountments? Do you know what really makes them live there? Because they have an inner strength. It's still some fiber of them that's telling them to hold on. Because if it wasn't, everybody would just get rid of their self. Everybody would end it. But you know why people don't end it because you really do have an inner strength. It takes something to be homeless. Everybody can make a mistake man, and wind yourself up in a situation. For homeless people have an inner strength. They have a toughness. It's tough being homeless man. They have a resilience because for some reason they just won't give up. And even though we judge them when we're driving by, look at them sitting on that corner just asking for money, they didn't gave up. No, no, it's another form of giving up. But I'm telling you, even in your darkest moments and your lowest points in your life, you have resilience, toughness, inner strength. I got news for you. It can help develop your faith because if you believe hard enough. The Bible says that faith is a substance of hope. For that simply means that when how you develop faith, it's really the essence of it's is hope. You remember when you was living, you hope you got a bike for Christmas and you went out there one year and the Christmas and the bike was under the tree. You remember when you used to hope you graduate from high school, you mess around and got a diploma. Did you remember hoping one day you get a job and now you're working Faith is a substance of things hope for. But if you keep hoping hard enough and believe that something can happen eventually, that hope times in the faith. You got to have dreams and visions so big that it dwarfs all your fears. This is how you make it. Hope. You got what I'm saying today? All right, drop it, babies, drop it. Have a great weekend. Thank you for all Steve Harvey contests.
