The water got Come Come on your thing, I show will good morning everybody you are listening to the voice, Come on dig me now wanted only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Got a radio show because God in the blessing. Business. Got a radio show because God is in a forgiving business. Got a radio show because God to let you turn your life around. Business, got a radio show because God no better than you know. Yeah, Steve Harvey got a radio show. Didn't see it coming, but he did. I'm gonna share with you today a principle of success. You know, it's it's important that we get our lives together. I mean it really really is. You know, to hear after is exactly what it says, is to hear after, and hopefully for the majority of us, that's quite a way He's off. So what about how you living today? How about now? You know often talk to you talk in the morning about your relationship with God that can never change. That is at the forefront and the best thought process that I can give you. And I know who I'm talking to on the radio. I'm talking to a lot of people, man, who out there just not sure. And I'm talking to a lot of people out there man that's trying to pull it together. In other words, you know, I'm talking to a lot of people like myself. There is a principle of success that is out there that if more people understood one of the baits, this is just one of one of the basic principles of success, you would have more success in your life. And that principle is this, the more people you help become successful, the more successful you become. Well, the more people you help become successful, the more successful you become. Because you are a practicing helping your and as you do onto others than it's done unto you. You know, you you you build relationships. When you do that, people forget in success, that has to be relationships. There is no one person in this world who is just successful all on their own. You are successful, and successful people form relationships and you've got to really coddle these relationships. You've got to nurture these relationships. They don't just happen. You don't just get cool with people just cause you cool. No, you've got to do some cool things to these people and for these people, for these people to be cool with you when you need some cool. I don't know if I'm explaining that right, but that's the best way I can tell it to you. I'm just regular, you know, I'm I just speak like that. This is an important principle to put into your life. The more people you help become successful, the more successful you become. You cannot look. You have to say to people, hey, look, I've done that. This is what you got to do. You got to take some time out to share. You have to share information, experiences, thoughts. You got to take a minute man to uplift somebody, give them some encouragement. Hey man, you can do it. Don't give up. You have no idea. You you you right now. You have no idea how significant you are to someone else, how your words of encouragement could be the difference maker. Today I'm talking about it's a person looking at you that you don't even really know you. You don't really know them, and you see them struggling with something, just say, hey, you know what, I've been watching you from afar. You're gonna be all right, man, I see some men. You keep doing the right thing. Man, You're gonna be all right. I had a meeting with a young man for the first time, and this young man came into my office. I never met him. He has an internet service, which anybody can teach me something about the Internet because I know little too close to nothing. He was twenty seven years old, and he was amazingly bright at this and I guess you know that it's not that hard to impress me. But the fluid speech pattern that he had about this very very difficult subject. He was tossing around the terms I had heard, but he was actually putting him in sensances where it had made sense to me. It's very fluid, very very sure of himself when he was talking about this little things, young dude twenty seven years old. And when he got through, the woman that had introduced me to him, I was leaving my office and she was going to escort him out, and I turned around and I said, young man, I said, what what size pants are you and I guessed it because I'm I've been dressing for long. I've been all them sizes. And I said, you about a thirty ways? He said, yes, Sir. I said, what side shoe you ways at nine and a half? I said what side shirt is? At a medium? He saw, I really like extra lodge. I said, well, that's too big for you. You just want to look blousy and bagging. And so I was talking to him and I said, Man, I'm gonna help you out. I said, man, because let me tell you something. You're a sharp young dude. Man, you are raised a sharp. I say, You've really really impressed me today. I said, and you know what, young brother, I said, You're gonna make a lot of money one day. Man, I said, but I want you to get your image up. I want you to. I want you to look at how you dressed, because you're coming into professional people's office and you're talking about doing something for them in it, and it takes money to make it happen. I gotta give you money to make this happen. What you cannot afford to do is look like you need every dime of this money. See you get when you're going in and you talking about money with another person, the person that's gonna give you this money. Can you can't look like you need every dime of this money, you know, So you gotta start presenting yourself. And that's all I just said to him. I just said, man, but you know what you shock, You're gonna make yourself some money. I'm gonna help you out a little bit. I walked out. I went on about my business. Later on that afternoon, I had a meeting with the woman that bought him in and she said, mister Harvey, you have no idea what you just did. He said, his eyes just teared up when you walked out. He said, wow, man, that man don't even know me, and he just encouraged me. He's a man always thought I might could make it, but he said, I ain't. Never had nobody like him tell me I could make it. And just HEARDing it from him, Man, that's all right. I'm I'm gonna get my clothes together. But you know, I've been homeless. And then he started telling the woman that he had been homeless, and so, you know, then she telling me that now I'm fitting the cry because you know, I've been in that hole before. And I just I'm just sharing that story. What y'all just to say. You don't know who you talking who? But what does it hurt if you just extend your hand to a person and give them a moment of encouragement. See this young brother right here, he could come back one day and be a major benefit to me because he has a skill set that I don't have. Oh. I might be old, mister Steve Harvey, but hey, guess what, I don't know nothing about what this young cat know. And he'd went off and educated himself. And just a word of encouragement from somebody like yourself can make all the difference in another person's life. So remember on your way to the top, the more people that you help become successful, the more successful you become. It's a requirement of God that you do that. That ain't Steve Harvey talking. If you read your Bible. Somebody got a Bible verse to back me up? Email it to me today if you know what it is. I don't know, but y'all do out there all right, you're listening.

You know, it takes time. Let me ask this question. It's a great question, but here's what people don't know. How long did it take you to locate the person of your dreams? See? How many? How many frogs did you have to kiss before you got to your prince? How many bad relationships did I have to be in to get to a good relationship. Very few people hit it right off. Oh it happens, But I don't from my standpoint, I know very few people who hit it right off. The one it happens. My mom was one. You know, our parents have found it. But I think it's I don't know. Sometimes you got to go through a few so there's no time limit. I think she's doing all the right things. She sounds like she had herself together. Just stop the hunt because you know, you're saying, I've been celibate for two years, right, for two years? Though? How much damage was you out there doing? What had you done?

How can I get him to stop playing with me like that? Wow? Uh? Behind? Let me let me introduce you to this concept of plague at joke telling behind every playful gesture, every joke. In order for it to be funny, it has to have ninety percent truth in it. What he just playing with you? I think? He Oh, I'm pretty sure after ten years there's a possibility that it has gotten a little bit wider. The fact that he wouldn't mention it is the ten years of y'all on each other nerve, Now, girl, you've been I don't even know why you took all that out of him with just that little crop top body on.

I'm sure you guys have heard about this. Tray Songs got arrested at Sunday's Kansas City versus Buffalo's AFC Championship Gang game. Trey Songs was being heckled by some fans a few rows back. We don't know why they were heckling him. He asked them to be quiet, and then that's when a police officer came over and physically tried to remove Trey Songs. KCPD said that Trey Songs was arrested for refusing to wear a mask and violating the Arrowhead Stadium's COVID nineteen protocols. Security was unsuccessful to try and get Trey Songs to wear his mask, so they called for backup police. Backup cops say Tray Song still refused to comply, and witnesses say that things got really aggressive at that point. Some say Trey pun the cop and put him in a headlock. Of yeah. Other witnesses say the officer was way out of line and Trade was fighting back in self defense. Trade Songs was arrested and charged with trespassing, resisting arrest, and assaulting a police officer. Trade Songs has been released and the case has been referred to the Jackson County Prosecution Office. Are you kidding me? Why is he not in a suite? What are you doing in general population? What glass are you down there at the game? Doesn't make sense to me? What is you down on the twenty yard line? Come home? But you know, man, I'm gonna say this. You know, Trade Songs doesn't strike me as it's probably a second incident. We've heard about stuff like that. But he doesn't strike me as a I just don't understand how. I really would like to know how to escalated to this point. If it was you, if you were out of game and somebody was heckling you, that's it. Buying is all game long. Heckling sports arenas is far heckling you shop, throw the ball? What are you doing? Your brom play some je Ferris, get a new quarterback. That's commonplace.

He sure did get it again to happen, but I had to get it again. Well, one thing about it. If I find out your ass had COVID, you got to not breathe on me though. And once I find out you had it. Yeah, if I find out you had COVID, your ass nice to back up off me and try posted a picture of him with the security guard at the game with his mask on, So it's like, what is going on with this story? Yeah? We yeah, we gotta find out what's Yeah, it just it just sounds a bit much, man, But he don't strike me as a guy that would do something like that at a at a football game and I don't know what it is and it was a lot of cops. Steve, Yeah, Okay, we're gonna move on. And other and other entertainment news and DJ Spinderella is fuming over how she was portrayed in Lifetime Salt and Pepper Biopicum, the group's former DJ, tweeted out her displeasure on Friday, saying, sorry, but I got to speak on this Life's Time special.

Wow, she said, She's going to write her own story and Steve, now it's time for today, ladies and gentlemen, Miss Ann trip Oh, thank you very much, everybody, in good morning. The US House officially transmitted an article of impeachment to the Senate last evening, now triggering preparations forehand historic trial. The House transmitted its first impeachment measure against Donald Trump. You may remember a little over a year ago. This time it's for foreign President Trump's alleged roland inciting the Capitol Hill riot January sixth, and the Senators who will act as jurors, and the impeachment trial are to be sworn in later on today. The trial to begin February ninth. President Biden signed several executive orders yesterday. Now. One of them is designed to encourage the government to buy American, which was one of Biden's campaign pledges. This new order directs agencies to kind of gin up the requirements related to purchasing various goods and services from American businesses, and it also creates a new White House position to be responsible for making sure that all these directives are adhered to. That's because the Trump administration also issued some American rules too, but some companies complain that they weren't strictly enforced, so the Biden administration wants to make sure that they're enforced by the way. President Biden says that in about three weeks, the US is going to be able to provide a million or more coronavirus shots every single day, although he feels things will nevertheless get worse before they get better, and the President says his focus is not just on the nation's health, but also on our businesses and especially our schools. I believe we should make school classrooms, safe and secure for the students, for the teachers, and the help that's in those schools maintaining the facilities. Right now. On top of the UK form of the coronavirus, there's another variant out there of COVID nineteen out of South Africa and another one out of Brazil. The Justice Department's internal watchdog has initiated an investigation into whether any officials in the dj tried to overturn the twenty twenty election. Inspector General for the Department of Justice, Michael Harvitz, says that his office is looking into whether any current or former Justice Department officials quote engaged in improper attempts to have the Department change the results of the presidential election. According to The New York Times, former acting Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark discussed with then President Trump a plan to fire the acting ag and then challenge the outcome of the balloting on alleged baseless claims of fraud. The article, though, says that Trump did not move forward with that plan. Finally, a move that is going to play apparently forward, apparently the move to replace the image of Andrew Jackson on the twenty dollar bill with Harriet Tubman's likeness. The Obama administration announced the desired change in twenty sixteen. Three years later, the Trump administration says, well, it can't take place to at least twenty twenty eight because of technical stuff. Well, the White House Press Secretary Jen Sachi says the Biden administration is working on the Treasury Department is taking steps to resume efforts to put Harriet Tubman on the front of the new twenty dollars. Notes it's important that our money reflect the history and diversity of our country, and they will now back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show in trending. Super Bowl news viewers tuning in for the commercials won't be seeing any Clydesdale horses this year because Budweiser has announced that it will not advertise during the Big Game on February seventh, And they're not the only big company taking a pass. Steve Budweiser will skip the game for the first time in thirty seven years, citing financial uncertainty due to COVID nineteen. Instead, the company plans to spend the money throughout the year on an ad Council campaign to raise awareness about COVID nineteen about the vaccine specifically. Bud Light, however, will run and add during the game. Other usual advertisers like Coke, Pepsi, and Hyundai also announced they're going to be taking the year off, although Pepsi is sponsoring the Super Bowl halftime show with the weekend.

Today marks the one year anniversary of the passing of Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter ge Kobe's widow, Vanessa, posted a message to people who are dealing with grief.

It affects everybody the different and it affects everybody the same because the hurt is real. You can't you can't tell a person what just don't think about it. What have you ever heard somebody tell you that? Somebody told me that one time. Some man, my mama. Man, don't think about it? Hold on, man, you don't think about it? Yeah, I knew. I knew this woman for forty years. When you don't think about it, when I don't think about my mom, I'm here because of her. When when do you forget that? You know? And so people not knowing.

There's also been reports that the Bryan family has reportedly m asked the NBA teams and the league not to hold tributes today. And it's good to know that people respect their wishes.

When you hear it, you hear it right here, right now. Hear it, We hear it. Buck it up and hold on tight. We got it for you. Here. It is Strawberry letter, all right. It says hot and bretty for my younger man. Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm a sixty seven year old woman married to a very handsome gentleman that is thirteen years younger than me. We've been married for four years, but we've been we've known each other for six years. When we first met, he waited a while to have sex with me, and it finally happened when we were away on vacation. I have always been the aggressive in the bedroom, and he would just let me take advantage of him in all kinds of freaky ways. Two years ago, I decided to switch things up because I got tired of always initiating sex and doing the most work in the bedroom. I also got tired of suggesting different places for us to have sex throughout the house. Well, when I pulled back, he did not step up, and we've gone for weeks at a time without having sex. When we do have it, it's a quickie and then he goes straight to sleep. I have asked him if he's okay or if his sex drive was decreased because of his age, and he says he's fine. Since the quarantine is over. He works long hours and when he comes home he's too tired to do anything. He goes to bed around ten pm most nights, so I feel bad about waking him up for sex. I planned a nice vacation for us, and we had our own cabana on the water. I thought it would be a perfect romantic setting, but all he did was drink Pina colot till he passed out. Nightly. It says till he passed nightly in the copy in the letter, but I'm sure she meant passed outrightly. I'm hot and ready for him all the time, but he's never in the mood. I confided in my male cousin and asked for his advice. He told me to stop taking the lead in the home and with finances and let my husband step up and be a man. I have a very dominant personality. I'm a very dominant person, but I never intended to emasculate my man. Is this all my fault? Well, this letter kind of took a turn hard left at the end when with you asking about emasculating your man and everything. I don't know about all of that, and I didn't even know that you were financing everything. You didn't mention that till the very end. But I do think your cousin is right, your male cousin, I think you're doing way too much. You definitely need to let your husband step up and be a man, and if he doesn't, you should stop trying to make him and realize what's going on here, because honestly, honestly, and I hate to say this, I really do but he doesn't sound like he's interested in you. He doesn't sound like he wants to do it, or that he cares if you do it, or his interest lies someplace else. Because he's not interested, you're always the aggressor. Because all the signs are there. He never initiates sex. You said it, he's too tired after work. He goes to bed at ten pm straight to sleep. When you pulled back because huh nothing, Oh, when he's too tired after work. When you pulled back because you were tired of always being the aggressor, he didn't step up. He didn't do anything. You guys just didn't have sex. And you said to yourself, he's never in the mood. Never again. The signs are there there, ma'am. The signs are all there. On vacation, he gets drunk and passes out every night. And why are you trying to finance everything? I mean, he's fifty four. What does he do? Is he working? Does he contribute to the household or to you in any way? It just doesn't sound like it, because you didn't say that in the letter. I think you know, if you're gonna stay here with this loser, get used to this behavior because he's not gonna change. I certainly hope you get wise and see that he's not interested and move on with your life. You're sixty seven, you still have a healthy sex life and all of that. You sound energetic. You can do way better than this guy, Steve. What, Shirley, We didn't read it two different damn letters, right, we did. I didn't see none of this that you saw in this letter. You know. I normally started the top of the letter. But see you got rolled off in the letter by her cousin. He threw you off. Course, he not fit to throw me off. She went to the cousin to ask for his advice because she's getting under sex. He told her to stop taking the lead in the home and with finances and let my husband step up and be a man. What the question was, I'm being under sex? What can I do to get him to take the lead? Your dumb ass cousin talking about finances and something that take him Let him be a man at the house. That ain't what's this damn letter about. Let me tell you what's really wrong in this damn letter. Your old ass is too damn much. That's what's wrong with this damn letter right here. He's not interested. Let me just walk you through, girl, he ain't got a chance to be interested. Let me walk you through this letter so you can understand him. Sixty seven year old woman sixty seven mad to a handsome man thirteen years younger than her. That mean he fifty four. They've known each other for six years. That means she met him when she was sixty one. They've been married for four years. Yeah, man, when he was fifty, she was sixty one. She was sixty one. Now she ain't talking about no. We waited a while to have sex with me. You was sixty one. What don't you mean waited a while? A while for her could have been three weeks. She fast, Shirley, I've been wanting to come back. I'm gonna tell you what's wrong with her. This woman is two damn much. He's not interested. All right, we'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hours, subject hot and ready for my younger man. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening, harty morning, All right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry letter. Subject hot and Ready for my younger man. You and I disagreed completely on this letter. Go ahead completely, and I'll tell you why this letter is title Hot and Ready for my younger man. The whole letter, three ninety eight percent of the words in here is pertaining to sex. She decided, saying she's getting under sex, to go to her male cousin and confide in him. After all this talk about sex. His advice was, he told her to stop taking the lead in the home and with finances and let my husband step up and be a man. What did he even listen to you? So that's why I think your cousin is stupid. Surely this ain't got nothing to do with how much money this man makes. She take? Can care the finances? She that ain't what this letter about. When it's sitting the letter, she said, stop taking the lead on financing me. She taking the money paying bills and all this. Here the man working, and it's saying the letter. He worked all the time, and he come home tied, So it ain't like he ain't working. He got money. All right. Let me let me show you this ship. Six seven year old woman man to this dude thirteen years younger than me. He fifty four. They dated for six years. First he waited a while he has sex with me, and it finally happened we were away on vacation. Then she said, I have always been the aggressor in the bedroom. Okay, right there, since you always the aggressive, you don't know how to sit your old ass down and wait on nothing. You're pushing the button every time you come through the damn house. Okay, he didn't get used to that. You started that. He would just letting me take advantage of him in all kinds of freaky waves. Well, let me tell you something. You was freaky with him at sixty one. You've been married six years. You ain't the same. I'm just gonna tell you that right now. You ain't the same. The position that was sexy when you was fifty, that position at sixty seven has changed. I'm just telling you what you used to be able to put your foot up on when you was sixty, it's a little different putting your foot up there at sixty seven. So I'm just letting you know, a little miss hot Mama, your ass ain't all that damn hot. You might be aggravating at this point. To tell you the truth, I take advantage him and all kinds of freaky waves. You sixty seven, stop saying freaking what does that have to do with anything, because I'm saying freaky. You're sixty seven, you're too old. You telling some damn right. Okay, we'll listen to this my letter now. Surely two years ago we disagree. I decided to twitch things up because I got tired of always initiating sex and doing the most work in the bedroom. She and that got hamles and stuff, bringing in all these twols and stuff, got suitcases, luggage, video film in that, breaking paper in there, got rope with them all down at ace hardware, buying equipment in you and that with a jungle. You don't put up a junger gym in the damn bedrooms. Tired of your ass two damn much kind of sandbox in there, and bud and no, nobody want all this old freaking ass down, and all people, all people freaking different, you know, if they don't know all the new stuff that's down at the sex stores and at the adult store. She all up in the room with bacon, grease and stuff. Don't nobody won't that no more? They have lubricants and stuff that they use down there that's scented with flavors in it. You got all this crisco in the room. Everybody want that on them, some damn west at all. So now I got tired of suggesting different places for us to have sex throughout the house. Sixty seven throughout the house. What is you in the basement leaning up against the furnace fault? Bring your ass upstairs where with your seat? It's dogged down here in this damn basement. You're all up in there. You're all up in the addict, hanging on to the beams and stuff like you meet me in a sex tape. You can't do all that. Put that shower curtain down. That is not false. We're not swinging on this shower. Do anything. Well, then I pulled back. He didn't step up, Hell because he scared. He didn't step up, step up. He need a break. He's fifty four. You're always hurt of her old ass in here with all these ideas. Every damn like to oh, okay, well, we can't even take a walk because your ass wants to have sex. That go down to the park. Hold up before we go, let me give you a little something. I've asked him if he's okay if his sex drive has increased, Hell, has yours has increased? That's the problem. It ain't that his has decreased. It's just that your ass thinks you way sexy than you really are. See, you're fighting what's really happening to you, and you're trying to overprove that you're still sexy. Now you sixty seven are You're doing two damn much. Clothes don't fit like they used to. You're just you're just too much. Now, let's stop all this. Sit your he go to bed at ten o'clock, old people, go to bed. Your ass supposed to be sleep somewhere, sixty seven, get your damn rest.

Yes, you can give people all the advice you want. It's an individual thing. It affects everybody the different, and it affects everybody the same because the hurt is real. You can't you can't tell the person. We just don't think about it. What have you ever heard somebody tell you that? Somebody told me that one time? Some man, my mama. Man, don't think about it? Hold on, man, what you mean? Don't think about it? Yeah? I knew. I knew this woman for forty years. When you don't think about it, I don't think about my mom. I'm here because of her. When when do you forget that? You know? And so people not knowing? I think what she said is right and trying to help people get through it. But it's tough. It's really tough. Yeah. And and how giving of her and generous of her. She's going through her own grief and she's reaching out to help others. Um. There's also been reports that the Bryant family has reportedly asked the NBA teams and the league not to hold tributes today. And it's good to know that people respect their wishes. So yeah, yes, I'm sure that has to be painful for her to turn on the TV and to see that, Yeah, over and over, And you can't can't you can't heal so famous? Yeah, and her daughter, because you know, like she said, she say, one day you laughing and then the next day you don't feel like living well on the days you're laughing, what you don't want is for somebody to bring it up. Yeah, see it and you see it over and over. Yeah, yeah, yeah, just praying for her, ye, Vanessa, yep. You have to take as long as you have to take to to grieve. You know, no one can give you a time limit. Yeah. It's individual, like you said, it doesn't it doesn't stop. It's just something you're able to tolerate it. Yeah, say you live with it. Yeah, yeah, it's troubled the deal. Yeah, I think it helps to heal, you know, it lessens the pain lessons. But that that's my personal experience. But yeah, the time, you know, But coming up, it's our last break of the day and we'll have some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey coming up at forty nine minutes after the hour. Right after this. You're listening all right here we are, guys, our last break of the day, just still basking in the glow of it all x ailing and all of that. You know. Yeah, we've got a normal president. Yeah, yeah, sleep at night in the morning, and yeah, what is food? And did today? Yeah, none of that. Stud I'm not as anxious, trying to be patient with COVID and the vaccine roll out, just getting information, you know what. I'm dog Donald Trump, he didn't even have a plan for distributing the vaccine. Biden him inherited all these vaccines, just sitting there without no plan for districting none. Man states he just wanted to disassociate himself from the virus so he wouldn't get blamed for the depths and four hundred thousand Americans have left this world because this fool didn't care. Yes, that's it. State you know something. In closing, let me share this with you, Okay, you know, here's a deal. You know, Um, this is twenty twenty one and everybody, you know, I've been listening to a lot of people man rehash twenty twenty and let me just offer you a different way to look at it. I can't tell anybody what to do, so let me just tell you what I've done and maybe just offer you a different way to look at it. We all know twenty twenty was more than a notion. I don't think twenty twenty went and it started off crazy, and it just kept getting crazier as the year went on. A lot of blas since happened, a lot of challenges happens, a lot of heartbreak happened, a lot of losses happen, a lot of victories happened. Twenty twenty was a very different year, one of the most different years of my life. And I know it was different because the whole world shared in the same problem. This is the first time I've ever heard everybody talking about the same thing. You know, everybody don't talk about climate Everybody don't talk about wellfare reform, everybody don't talk about inmates. Everybody from every section of the world. I know every news channel dealt with the pandemic. Now listen to this. This is twenty twenty one. Here's what I've decided to do. And I'm just offering this as a thought for people out there. Twenty twenty is gone. It cannot come back. We cannot change a single thing about twenty twenty. We do have they to have an effect on twenty twenty one. Now listen to me. I'm not a soothsayer, I'm not a psychic. Most people are not. We have no idea what can happen or what's going to happen in twenty twenty one. But you can set yourself up for prosperity. By setting your mind up for prosperity. You can set yourself up and position yourself for success. If you position your mind for success, you can elevate your place and position in life. If you elevate your mind, everything starts from your mind. I'll give you an example. If you wake up in the morning and you say, oh man, I hate waking up in the morning. Oh man, I got to go down here to this damn job. Oh man, I showed her feel like this today? Man, what they're talking about? I don't feel like this traffic. I can tell you right now. If you wake up like that, you have started your day off and you've positioned yourself to have a rough day because you started it in your mind. You ain't even went to work yet you already don't like it. You ain't even got in your car and got in the traffic. You're already complaining about it. You ain't even ran up into that person that you don't really care for. You already put them in your head. You've began the process of having a dismal day. If you just wake up in the morning and say, wow, I woke up this morning. Thank you Lord, Man, I got another opportunity. Thank you Lord. I got an opportunity to a chance to get it right. Today I can move one step closer to my goals. Thank you Lord. I promise you, if you start your day that way, I expect great things to happen today. Father, you put yourself into position to start receiving, looking for and guiding yourself through a better day. Now that's not to say that things are not going to happen, but at least you set yourself up for success so when it does happen, you can realize, Okay, this is part of the process. But let me ride this out. God got something from me because he woke me up this morning. I still thank you Lord. Give me the strength and the wisdom and understanding to get through this today. In other words, to do the Lord's prayer. Give us our give us this day our daily bread. Just give me the strength to get through today. I'm telling you, man, it all change the aspects. Get yourself. Some vision boards write down your dreams, man, meditate on things that you see coming. Put the things down that's in your imagination. Ask God to make your dreams come true. Meditate on the positive and the glowing outlook of life. Realizing though that along the way you're going to be challeng lenge to attain those dreams, aspirations and things in your imagination. But at least you position yourself for success. People who don't do that, you don't even position yourself for success, So when anything comes along, you further perpetuate the old woe is me mindset. But if you got your mind made up that God is going to do something great for you, when things happen, you still look for the greatness. You have got to start positioning yourself for success. I suggest that to you, twenty twenty is gone. We got twenty twenty one in front of us. Y'all. Think about that. You're twenty twenty one can be the best year of your life. Thank y'all for having us. This day. Will see you tomorrow God, will it have a great day. Talk to God he loved to hear front me. Bye for all.
