And everybody you're listening to the voice, now come on. Digny one and only. Steve Harvey got a radio show one more time partner, Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man, How amazing is that? How good has God been to me? How good has he been to you? Just check yourself sometimes, just sit up. Just let's run a survey. Just look at your life, where it's at. It might not be where you want it to be, but that's probably some decisions you made. But really, though, in spite of all the crazy mistakes I didn't made, I mean, man, I look back at some of the decisions I didn't came up with, and and man, it's it's it's just amazing He let me live. I mean, it's it's and and and to exist the way I exist. That's nothing but grace, mercy, favor. All that is. That's what my mama praying for me when I wasn't praying for myself. It had to be it, because, man, I can truly tell you I have made enough mistakes man, stuff you would never even know about, and recovered from them all you can too, and I don't care what you've done. Marvin Sapp has a song out that says he saw the best in me when everyone else around me could only see the worst in me. You know that that's an important song man, especially you know. I want to talk to men today because man, being a man is so so difficult. Please know it has been my quest ever since I was a little boy. My father had one ambition, son, I don't care what you do, but when I get through raising you, you will be a man. That's all I want you to be. And he never care what I did for a living, and it never made a difference to him. You're going to be a man. Manhood is difficult. Now, ladies, just listening to this, I'm not saying womanhood ain't. I don't know what it takes to be a woman, so you know, but I do know exactly what it takes to be a man. So you know, sometimes when you talk to people on the radio, you have to preface things because people are just go he trying to make it look like womanhood. Ain't. No, That's not what I'm doing. I'm just talking to men today to explain to them that dign by the self and struggling trying to figure this thing out, that you are not alone in your quest for manhood. That is difficult, but I gotta tell you, man manhood is that kind of difficult, and it becomes even more compounded if a young boy does not have a male role model. I've said it a thousand times. I'll say it again. A young boy without a male role model is like an explorer without a map. While I have a suggestion for everybody that's struggling with manhood and all of the men out there that are men, This messages for all of us, and it's for me too. You know. I was listening to Joyce Myers the other day and she made a statement. She said, sometimes you gotta do the right thing even when it feels wrong. You know, one of the difficulties of manhood is pure pressure and the misguided principles of manhood. See what God wants us to be as men and what we believe manhood is sometimes two different things. Give you an example. I wrote this book for women, right and I was telling them the three ways that a man shows his love, and I call him three pas. We profess, we protect, and we provide. Every man who is a man, that's how he exhibits love. When I talk hockey comforting with our great nurturists. But when it comes down to to it, what we all want to do, what is in our day DNA, is to profess our love for something you as a woman, to protect you as a woman, and to provide for you as a woman. That's in our DNA. Now, sometimes that gets messed up, and I'll give you an example. Sometimes when a boy doesn't have the proper, real role model in his life, he takes that principle of love that we all possessing us every man, the professing part, the protecting, and in the providing part, and we misplay it. That's why gangs exist. Gangs exist off those three principles. What's the first thing a gang member do. He professed, he claim a hood. That's the first thing you do this is my neighborhood. I'm duces trade, I'm triple h, I'm due de duke, I'm purple, I'm red, I'm blue. The first thing they do is claim that's professing. That's how we show our love. But it's misguided though. Now we professor and something that ain't even good for us. Your hood, your game, your click now, guess what Now we got to protect it. So now as a protection part of our love, here we go. You come down here, We're gonna do this to you. You go over there, they're gonna do that to you. You protect your hood, This your turf, This is all you got. You ain't nobody coming down here with blue own. Can'tybody come over here with red on. You can't come over here with purple on. You can't come over here with black and gold on. And we and we protect that because that's in I DAA. And then what's the third thing we provide? So guess what the game need money? Guess what we do. We're selling drugs, we're selling women, we're selling guns. It go back to the same thing. Man. I don't know how God gave it to me that way when I was writing a book, But he showed it to me along the way. That's how men love well. When you don't have a role model in your life. Guess what now that love is misplaced, it's misguided, it's off track. Ain't no man, and told you that really you're supposed to take this love and give it to a woman. You're really supposed to profess, protect and provide for a woman, not your gang set. Now you professing your hood, wrapping a color. You're protecting your territory, shooting people driving by, coming over you on your street, and then you provide. Now you are here selling drugs and guns for the same thing. When a boy does not have a male role model, he has a misguided way of looking at manhood. Here's a deal. See, God created all of us in his image. That means He's put some of our DNA in him. That's why it's in your DNA to profess, protect, and provide because guess what, that's what God do for us, because we His children. I'm just talking to men right now. I'm just telling you, man, I had to wake up about five years ago. I wasn't doing what God wanted me to do, and then he shook me. He said, Man, I'm gonna bring about some changes in your life. I'm gonna cause some things to happen that's gonna put you in a position. And this time you're gonna listen to me, because if you don't, you're gonna keep living in this pain you've been in. But you put yourself in this pain. I own no blame to no one else but myself. Please know, I know that. And that's how you really get to manhood, when you figure out what you hadn't done wrong. You can't blame this on none of your exes because you're a man. You can't go my ex dear this. No, No, you're a man, pardner. You got to take responsibility for yours and yours alone. If you got kids, you got to get to them some kind of way. Write him a letter, send them the money. If she won't let you see it, front of money, whatever, Send them money to a mama. Do what you're supposed to do as a man. Do what God want you to do, man, because he's not letting us off the hook for what we're supposed to be just because you ain't doing it. And if you do it, you turn your life around. Just holding that the fellas today. That's all sorry about that. You're listening show, ladies and gentlemen. This is the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Girl.

I'm grateful and I'm Steve. You know me. I'm like you. I'm just out here just trying to change lives and for the better. And it's just I'm honored to be able to do it. Man, I'm honored. Well, I'm interested in this one right here because I've thought about this, and so now I got my man on here to give us the facts. Your new book is called plant Power. Now. The tagline for the book is flip your plate, change your weight. Flip your plate and change your weight. All right, now, that's pretty catchy, man, tell us about plant Power. Yeah, this has been the most personal health book I've written, because listen, I love steaks and ribs and cheeseburgers like everybody else. But I just felt like I was eating too much meat. And I know the benefits of plants, and I just wasn't getting enough. So I said, let me try to wean myself. I don't want to eliminate all my meat and seafood, but let me try to cut down and increase my plants. So plant Power is my four week journey of reducing me not eliminating once again. If you want to be being a vegetarian, that's fine, but this is about people who say, I'm somewhere in the middle, like I still want to have my chop brisket and that kind of thing every once in a while, but I still want to have more plants. And so I did it for four weeks. It was amazing, yell. I gotta tell you my energy level improved, my sleep improved, my thinking improved. And then I put this in my group. I got a Facebook group that's called plant Power and everyone should join it as phenomenal. The average weight loss, y'all in four weeks was ten to twelve pounds just by eating more plants. This has been a life changer for me and a lot of others I'm in. So what motivated you to research the plant based diets. Yeah, I just thought like I was sluggish. You know. It wasn't like I was feeling bad, but I felt like I was sluggish. Everything I had, like a steak or something. It took me a while to recover from it, and I just felt like I gotta make a change myself, you know. And then all the all the research Steve about plants, you know, reducing blood pressure and cholesterol levels and strokes, and people were saying to me, doctor Ian, how can I reduce some of these issues I have, particularly us as African Americans without taking medications. And all the research man talks about how plants are just God's you know, nature magical. It's just it's phenomenal. So that's what really got me into it. And I gotta tell you the recipes because sometimes people just boil a vegetable and put it on a plate and you can't eat that. Well, I'll tell you what. Hang on the doctor Ian man, We're gonna find out more. We're gonna come back because we're gonna talk about some of these recipes. We're gonna talk about how you can flip your plate and change your weight. We'll be back with more with doctor Ian K. Smith right after this you're listening show. All I try to be back in our special guests this morning. As an old friend and family member used to come on the show all the time with national health initiatives and when he's got another one, got a new book, out. It's called plant power. And here's here's a catchphrase. Y'all flip your plate and change your weight. I'm making it. I'm texting right now, my nutrition. This taxing right now, my train on and I'm fitting to do all plants tomorrow, but I'm gonna give them a day to work on some stuff because I like my plants to sort a kind of taste like meat, and you can do that. So let me ask you, this doc, plant base has come a long way. I'm so, I don't know what your recipes are in your book, but you can kind of get that texture and taste in plants now, can't you. You can, But I gotta tell you something. I just want people to be a little careful because now it's a big marketing thing about meat substitutes, and a lot of these meat substitutes, unfortunately, they highly process them. And the person who works will tell you this. They put a lot of calories, they put fats, they put the bad fat, they put the saturated fats. You want unsaturated fat. They also add a lot of sodium and you got to be careful of that and bad oil. So what I tell people is listening on page thirty six. In the book, I talk about the things you need to look for when you're buying some of these plant alternatives or these meat substitutes. And I'm not saying they're all bad. I'm just saying you gotta be careful. But you know, you can find plant and veggie burgers that definitely taste and look like meat. You just gotta be careful what the ingredients are. Wow, I'm always you know, dog fight, you know, with my weight and everything. And yeah, we all especially yeah, yeah. Let me ask you this, though, what have you found to beat some of the most surprising benefits of following the plant based diet. Well, everyone thought that they were gonna have meat withdraw or they were gonna have all these meat crazy And let me tell you something. After about four or five days, everyone kept saying, Man, I don't really, I don't miss it. I still get the habit because once again you can still have some meat and some seafood. But no one missed it. And that was amazing how they just felt like this was great. The other thing is that there are a lot of people Steve who have high blood pressure, and some of them were coming off their medications. Cutting the medications than half loring, the cholesterol levels, all these things only because they just one thing. They just ate more plants and less process me. And let gonna tell you something like in the recipes and our Facebook group they post these recipes. One of my favorites, page two fourteen, spicy tie vegetable stir fry. When you eat that, you're gonna be like, meet what because it's just like it. It's so good and so filling you just can't stop eating. So I just want to tell people listen, open your mind, open your palette, believe in it. And I'm helping people, Steve, you know how I like to do, Steve, I got people who are doing individual counseling for free in our Facebook group at plant Power. So I just want to help as many people as possible, particularly us, be able to eat a little healthier and be able to reap the benefits. Wow, I like it. What do you think the case stands for? Inductor Ian's middle name kill yeah Kale kill Kale. But if you're from where I'm from, cabbage with the K say it hard? Hey? Doc? So look, man, give us the reason. Why does Steve Harvey Nation need to get their hands on this book. If it's very to go ahead, Yeah, it's very simple. Listen, y'all. We have got to eat a little better, not perfectly. I don't eat perfectly. I'm not advocating you eat perfectly. But if we make small changes in what we eat, what's at our table, we can make a huge change and how long we live, how betterly we live, how happy we are, And it's something that the whole family can do.

Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a forty nine year old married woman and my husband is fifty nine. We've been married for six years and this is my first marriage and his second. We dated a good while before he asked me to marry him, and when I accepted his proposal, I told him that I didn't want to live in the house that he and his wife and kids lived in. He rented out his house and we bought a fixer upper house in a great neighborhood. I wanted a new house, or at least one that was in great condition. He promised me that he had some great contractors that would make my dream a reality. The house is so old that we still have Linolean taught linoleum tiles on the kitchen floor. Icon acted a professional company to get a flooring estimate, and I wanted to replace all the laminate countertops in the kitchens. It had been six years, and I saved up money to do a few little things. He hemmed and hawed, but he eventually helped me pick out our flooring. He didn't offer to help me pay for anything, because he said it with my impatience. That led to the renovation. A few weeks later, we were packing up to go to my parents' home temporarily while our floors are getting installed, and I just happened to be peeking in at him in the bedroom. He carefully pulled out a big envelope, pulled a big envelope out of a shoe box, and I saw hundreds of dollars. I ran into the room and tackled him and grabbed the envelope. All he could say is that he had to keep a stash because I loved spending his money. I don't know how he thought it was okay to hide this large sum of money from me. I'm wondering if he planned to leave me in this raggedy house. Is that he's not interested in doing any upgrades? What is he up to? Well, before we get to that, I just gotta say, the visual of you busting in the bedroom and tackling your huff But it's just a little funny. Okay, that visual is funny, And I mean you ask the question, what is he up to? Who knows what? Mister secretive is up to and why is he being so shady with this money. I'm all for having all for having your own money and not having to always ask someone your husband in this case, for cash, and of course there's also the house money and the film money. But just something about this doesn't sit well with me. I mean, first, you say it's been six years since you've been in this fixer upper and nothing has been fixed up. And didn't you also say that you saved the money yourself, with no help from your husband. He said it was your impatience that led to the renovation. I don't understand that statement. What is he talking about. It's been six years since you guys have been in that house and nothing has been done. I mean as his house too. He seems like he would want it remodeled. I mean, especially the linoleum floors. You know, the only explanation he had for stashing is that you love to spend his money, his money. I mean, it's our money you got. You guys are married. You know you're spending money on the house. You saved the money for the house. Is he trying to say if you knew he had the secret money, you would have spent that on the house or something else. I'm so confused with that statement. I mean, what is his stash money for If it's not for the house. He sounds just very cheap to me, very selfish to me, And he doesn't have any intentions after six years of fixing this house up. I don't see that. So, so, now that you know you've caught him with this money, you need you need to find out what he's up to. We don't know what he's up to, insists you know, if you guys are gonna stay married on a joint bank account for the house, for the renovations. It's been six years, let's go. You know, both of you should be contributing, not just you. It's his house too, and it's his chiefment. It is his cheapness, why his first marriage fails. These are some of the questions you need to ask him. If you find out the answers to this, maybe you'll find out what you know, the money he stashed is all about. Other than that, I don't know. This is crazy. You know he needs you, You need his help. See I don't know about this letter right here. I'm a little bit thrown off. See he's had money in our raggedy house. But the name of this letter to me is somebody lying slash. We ain't here the whole truth, I don't think so. See, we're just not hearing this whole story. I don't think because something is missing in this story. It don't sit right with me. But you know, one of us Uncle Steve's favorite things to do, and one of my skills sets is to dig under the circles to find out what's really going on. Ladies and gentlemen, Let's go under the skinnon to find out what's going on. Now. She forty nine. She her husband is fifty nine. That's a ten year difference. Been married six years, my first marriage, his second. That's a little tale tale right there. This yr first time. He hadn't done this before. He seen the movie before. In other words, we dated a good while before he asked me to marry him. When I accepted his proposal, I told him I didn't want to live in the house that he and his wife and kids live. Did so guess what he did. He rented out his house. He honored that request. That was a big one. This man already owned the house, but you didn't want to leave it. He said cool. He rented out the house and he bought a fixer up our house in a great neighborhood. I wanted a new house, or at least one. Dad was in great condition. He promised me he has some great contractors and he would make my dreams of reality. The house is so old. We got linoleum tiles on the kitchen floor. Our contracted a professional company to get a flowing estiment. I wanted to replace all the laminate countertops in the kitchen. And after this, I'll tell you what happened why you ain't gotten a kitchen yet. All right, Steve, hold on part two of your responses coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry Letters subject He's hiding money in our raggedy house. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening Morning show. All right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry Letters subject, he's hiding money in our raggedy house. Yeah, you're hiding money your raggedy house. Because we don't know the whole story. But you've been married now for six years. He's rented out the house. She told him you didn't want to live in with his formal wife and kids. Head so he rented it out as a good husband. We're doing He bought a fixer upper. You kind of wanted the new house. He told you that he has some friends and stuff and he get it fixed up. Well, you wanted the new house. He said he had some contractors and the house is so old that y'all got linolean floors on the kitchen. So you contacted professional come to get a floor next ment, and I want to replace all the laminate countertops. It's been six years. I've saved up money to do a few little things. He hemmed in heart, but he eventually helped me pick out the flooring. He didn't offer to help me to pay for anything because he said it was my impatience that led to the renovation. Now less, it's where the letter gets tricky. It's your impatience that led to the renovation or was it his lie that led to you having to save up to get the renovation? To see now we're about to peel back somebody skin on this onion right here and put tears in your eyes. I think it's because of the fact that he's been married before and you ain't he seen this movie before. Now you're telling me that you've been saving up a little bit of money for this laminated float, right, and he wasn't gonna go for it. Whose kitchen is that big? How much that float cost? So I don't know how much you had to save, but it's a kitchen float. I don't know what you saved. I'm not pass a judgment. I don't like to do that, but you saved up your a little bit of money. But we're talking six years though, So what have you been doing and what have y'all been doing with the money for six years? See, you've been buying something, and I think you may be buying some stuff that ain't got nothing to do with nothing. And he saw his money slipping away like he did with his previous wife, so he started stashing money before she get our hands on this right here too. That's what I think happened, you know, And then I see, here's what here's what led me to say that. A few weeks later, we were packing up to go to my parents' home temporarily while your floors were getting installed, which means the floors was in the process of getting done, right, I just happened to be peeking in at him in the bedroom. He carefully pulled a big envelope out of a shoe box, and I saw hundreds of dollars. You, being a gold digger that you are, ran into the room and tackled and grabbed the envelope. Dove on the man. Now he was surprised because obviously you blindsided him. He didn't see it coming. You make his head jerk back, slob or wrap around his head a little bit. He know what was happening because you tackled him in his lower back because he had that envelope down low, count that money. All he could say is he had to keep a stash because I love spending him money. That's the key. See, for six years, he'd been watching you spend money on all types of stuff. Now you come up, but you on a floor. Now this man going, wait minute, man, hold on, I've been chipping in. We've been doing this here. You got me written out this house that I already paid for. Now you over here. We were trying to do something else, but you just spending money. You mess around after six years and save the money for a damn flow, and now you in't here tackling me for cash. See how that look? He thought it was okay. I don't know how he thought it was okay to hide this large sum of money for me. I do because he didn't want you to spend it. That's why he was hiding. I'm wondering if he planned to leave me in this raggedy house. Is that why he's not interested in doing any upgrades? What's he up to? Well, it seemed to me like he's up to what you ain't up to, trying to save a little bit of money because he said you'd be spending all his money. And a man will do that. A man will hide some money if you think you're gonna spend it all. Every man I know haven't done. But what about the line about her impatience led to the renovation? What does that mean? They've been in the house for six years and they still haven't gotten it renovated. I said when I read the letter, I don't think it's her impatience that's led to the renovation. Bore, It is his lie that led to her wanting to do the renovation. The woman got every right to want to fix her house up. Most women like living in nice home and this representative of a woman. When people come over your house and your house saved, right, the woman takes the blame for that, not the man. Thank you. What she in here doing, how she got all this food, and how she who decorated this right here? What I understand it, that's not her fault. He lied and said he was gonna fix the house up. But what happened was as he was trying to save, he was just watching her spend. So now, hold up, I can't take what I'm saving and renovate this house because she's spending all other money. Let me save some of this money, which would I would be spending on renovating the house. But since she's spending all the money, we ain't gonna have no damn money. That's how she found him hiding the money in the envelope. But now she didn't manage to save up a little bit of money get this flow done after six years. But he got to flow money in that box. He got to flow money and wall money in the box. I think what happened here is we have a spending problem which leads to more divorces finance than even infidelity. And y'all will get you will get left in that ragged ass house. If you keep spending money like that whole damn letters your fault. He needs to help her fix up that house, all right, love, so she can make him a home.

Get to see her lawyers twice a week. Another news baseball is back And did you know this? I didn't know this, the Cleveland Guardians that changed his name from the Indians. Indians is gone. Indians is gone. We ain't gonna win, Cleveland coal Mins, Well what you want to call it? Whatever you want to Hey, when when in the win? So what what? And call it the Cleveland Champions. We're not gonna win. And then also lastly NBA news, Frank Bowl has officially been fired from Lost La. He finally heard the dude we heard already. He just got it yesterday. So Frank is out. It ain't his fault, it's really not. I think he's a scapegoat. But the way I would play them, I would I would have Westbrook as a sixth man and that when that when Rest Westbrook come on on the floor, I would let Lebron or a d sit down and let it be the Russell Westbrook show so he could get back to who he is. And that would be his greatest contribution to the Lake of Basketball team. If they don't, if they don't run, because he's not gonna be effective as long as Lebron on the floe, because it's Lebron's team, all right, Junior, thank you. Coming up at the top of the hour, a man gets caught naked on a work video conference call. We'll talk about that when we come back, right. I can understand that though you're listening to the same Harvey Morning Show. A New York City housing authority official has been suspended for thirty days without pay after being caught naked in bed with a woman during a work related video call. A seventeen second video posted on YouTube of what was supposed to be a routine video call for staff shows the male employee, who works as an administrative housing superintendent, completely naked, lying next to a woman as his stunned co workers watched. There were at least the upper level managers and superintendence on the video, and when the woman appeared in the video, all you could hear was oh my god, no, no, it is right. So uh. The question the question for you, Steve, is out of all of us working on this show, who would you expect this type of behavior from? You would not know, you would nothing stupid like what what? But you use the word in a sentence. I ain't gonna do nothing stupid like that, But see what other form of stupidity would you do. I wouldn't do that. He didn't get fired. He just got suspended for thirty days with understand man. But I want to thank the Lord that video conference and just starting because if there was any footage of the stuff I used to do on phone call, thank you Lord. I'm with you when you're right too. So did he accidentally leave his zoom? Yeah? I don't know how. Yeah. Yeah, he's naked and bad with the woman here. He had to forgot to have turned it off, you know, he forgot to turn it off. Is there footage of this anywhere? Because is there footage anywhere? Monica? Can you send it to me? He probably ain't in shape, though, what does that matter? Most super embarrassing? Ain't in shape? Would you be embarrassed? Though, I know you would. Would you be embarrassed? Well? Putting on the angle you caught me at? I got, I got, I got a couple. Might be proud, Yeah, I got proud and posed now but if you catch me roll or it could be all so quite in bed you're laying in the bed on the video.

Yeah, all right, coming over in twenty minutes, we'll have more of a Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this. You're listening to the Stave Harvey Morning Show. The national trucking industry is down by eighty thousand trust drivers and that's why our goods our services and our packages have been delayed lately. Well, Walmart is doing something about it. To combat the national truck drivers shortage. They are granting new truck drivers up to one hundred and ten thousand dollars during their first year on the job. That's really great news, isn't it. Walmart is doubling the average salary for long haul drivers and has also launched a twelve week program in several states to help its warehouse employees earn a commercial driver's license. So in you know, one hundred ten thousand dollars, it's a great starting salary. So it's great. Thank you, Walmart. Way to go. Yeah, Mom, still gonna say, ain't no job.

You're listening here, we are, guys, our last break of the day on this Wednesday. We got to say a special thank you to doctor Ian K. Smith who joined us after a minute. It's been a minute, but he came back to um talk about his brand new book called Plant Power, which is available online and wherever you buy books. It's all about flip your plate, change your weight your plate. Flip your plate, change your weight. The name of the book again is called plant Power. Thank you doctor Ian for dropping us. Catchy, Catchy. It is huh, flip your plate, change your weight. Mm hmm, that's what we planted. Yep, I need to flip my plate bowl fun. Yeah, I was just suggesting. I kind of listen to it though, because I'm going to do it, because I just text everybody involved with my program and told him I want to change two meals a day to all plans at least two meals a day. You know, but you know, good good, it's never nothing wrong with that. But I'll tell you something else that can help y'all too. Here's my closed remarks. I want to remind everybody I was Oprah's had been on TV for years talking about dream boards, and um, I'm The first time I saw a dream board was in nineteen seventy four a friend of mine named Marvelous Marvin Harton. I was in his dorm room one day and on his mirror he had what he called a treasure map. And on this treasure map he had things on it, and to graduate in four years. That was his plan, to play Jamaica sci fi. That was his plan. And he had several other things, but he had a treasure map. He had timelines on it, and I've never seen that and I stopped him. I said, hey, Mamas, I said, what is this right here? He said, this was like a treasure map. Man later to learn it was what's called a vision board. He said, but this is how I put the things in front of me, my goals and hopes and wishes and aspirations. He graduated in four years. He is a member of them maka sci Fi, and he's retired now. He worked in the defense for the government, and he's retired now. I watched this cat pretty much do all the things he said he was gonna do. Well, that was the first time I saw vision board or what he called a treasure map. What I later discovered was they would call vision board, and I started mine later on in life. I wish I knew what my friend knew in nineteen seventy four, but I didn't. I just didn't. And part of what I want to talk to you about is it don't matter when you learn it, as long as long as you learn it, because the application of wisdom, faith and understanding is never too late for that it could be the right time for you. The fact that I didn't have a vision board didn't stop the fact that I should have them. Well, right now, I'm probably on my sixth or seventh vision board. I just had my son come over Sunday. We set outside, cooked outside of the kitchen, and I had him redo my vision board. But Sun was talking to me, said, wow, Dad, do you know man, that everything you put on your vision board you have to change because it comes true. And that's what I want to talk to you all about the power of that vision board. Don't think or don't underestimate the power of writing it down. Don't underestimate the power of putting up a visual Now. I'm a picture guy, so I do very well with pictures demonstration. If I had known that about myself in college, I probably could have graduated. I probably could have been an okay student had I understood that I'm a visual learner. I don't like words and then try to recall and then tell you back on a test what I read. I ain't gonna really remember all that. But if you got some pictures and you put it in the form of a story or my ass is good at that. But what I've learned is the power of this vision board for you is a spiritual thing. And don't think it don't apply to you and the fact that you ain't never had one don't mean that this ain't the time for you to start to have one. I put my vision boards on my cell phone because I I have nothing in my hand more than I have my cell phone. So when I my home screen are what you call it through wallpaper setting home screen setting, every time it pops up, it's my vision board. Because I'm always on the phone talking business plans. All is here. Every vision board I've ever had has come true, and it's come true in a way that I didn't really think about it. Because on my new vision board, I put two very important things on that God's will and the way that I ensure God's will is I incorporate a lot more prayer in my life. And the other important thing I put on there is God's timing, which requires my faith because I've learned to stop asking for God telling him when to do it or how to do it. I trust in his will is better than my knowledge or understanding, and his timing is gonna be different from mine. So I put that on my vision board. I put dollar amounts on my vision board. I put vision for my foundation. I put vision that I have for other people. I have vision for how I want to change people's lives. I put all of that on that, and it comes true. I put on that. Companies that I want to do business with. I've had to take them off because I'm in business with them. I'm telling you, man, the power of vision board. Don't overlook it. Go online and learn how to make a vision board if you need to. But you can start with a list of stuff. But I like pictures because I'm a visionary guy. I'm telling y'all, man, start using vision boards and look at them every day and just read it. I'm telling you it comes true. It requires your faith and belief in it. And that's really the beginning. Now, if you're willing to put the hard work behind it, boom, all your dreams can come true. That's probably vision board. You really need to think about that. Those my clothes remark today and one other thing, talk to God today. He would absolutely love to hear.
