Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time? I don't know. Y'all have a sun giving them like the million bucks things and the coves not good at listening to mother Sta don't join jo. You gotta use turn hur you go, you gotta turn to turn them out. Turn you haven't got the turnout? Then turn the water the water go. Come come on your tha uh huh. I shall will a good morning everybody. Y'all listening to the voice, come on dig me now wanting only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Um. Five things that I know successful people have to do to be successful. The principles are the same. You can apply it to anything, you know, if you want to be happily married, you know, whatever it is. The principles of success are the same. There are a series of things that you have to do. You cannot skip the steps of success. If you do, you're going to have to go back and step on them anyway. So here's here's here's here's a part man that I want you all to understand about me and and and about how to look at it. You know, you cannot underestimate faith and prayer. You just can't. You cannot underestimate the power of faith and the power of prayer. See for me, this is just for me. Now, this ain't in the scripture nowhere. This is just something I discovered. What prayer did for me was was it tied me to my creator. It gave me a sense and I'm describing it this way, but I'm telling you it's deeper than this. But it gave me a sense that I wasn't alone and an actuality. I wasn't. But prayer helped connect me to the power source that was available to me to get through, get around, or get over whatever it was that was in a way, whether it was just a period I stretched, I had to go through hard work. It had a period I had to go through to learn some lessons, some periods I had to go through from having to pay for some of the mistakes I've made. Whatever the case may be, prayer gave me a decided advantage, especially oh here we go, Especially over my enemies. Now, the majority of people in my life that were my enemies, I didn't want them to be my enemies, Make no mistake about this. But through the thing called life, some things went down, Some things happened from here and then went over here or that way, and a person became my enemy. The majority of enemies I had came out of nowhere. I have no reason to even see why they are my enemies. But you know, life goes on, man. It happens from time to time. Some people just won't let it go. See some people, in their quest to do something to you or to make you pay, they just won't let it go. What it may cause you some discomfort, and some of them may be lies about you and all of this and all of that, but you that that can't prohibit you from going forward. So what I'm saying his prayer gave me the strength, wisdom understanding the carriage to either go through it, go around it, or go over it. But it happened. I do not know how I could have made it. Without faith and without prayer. It would have something would have got me. You two would have got me. The bloggers would have got me. My partners that I grew up with, that we used to laugh behind my back. They would have got me. My friend that would over my mother's house one time and told her. You know what Steve's problem is that telling them jokes? He just lazy. He don't want to work. That would have got me. They didn't know. I ain't really mad at them because they were just All they was doing was basing their conversations and passing judgment based on what they knew, based on what they believed. They didn't believe I was gonna make it. But that's them though. If it was not for the faith, which is the belief in things that you cannot see, I wouldn't have made it because I would have listened to everybody else who didn't see me getting here and went along with it. And then prayer. Oh my goodness, man, how many times has prayer bailed me out? Prayer has bailed me out, press steel, belling me out. Tell you the truth, man, quiet as its kelt. Prayer, that connection to your heavenly Father, that connection to your creator, that connection to that source of power and inspiration, that connection of never feeling that you're alone. You know. I was watching a Bishop Jakes on the TV yesterday and it was a repeat and one of the things he was talking about, well, let me just get to the gist of it. I was going through a portion of my life and I and I went through it for some years, y'all. I had gotten myself into a jam that lasted for years. I'm telling you, for years, with some serious consequences to follow. For years. And I was so busy looking at who I was at. I was sulking sometimes, Man, I'd get on the radio, Man, I'd be just done. I was sulking. My my spirit had gotten low. I had gotten tired of the fight, and I would I would come on some mornings, man, and I will try try not to let on, but I was hurting. I was because I had been in it for years. Man, I had been in this thing for years, and one thing I was doing. I was so busy looking at where I was at. And when I was watching Bishop Jakes, he preached this sermon. He was talking about so busy looking at where you at that you don't even realize that God has been with you the entire time. And you know what, Man, just yesterday, just yesterday, I heard this, and I text him a text, Bishop Jakes, and I thanked him because it was an old message I could tell. And I called a text up and I said, Man, thank you so much. I was just watching you on TV and you told me, Man, something that I that I'll always remember that whatever you're going through, that he's there with you the whole time. But see when sometimes when you're so busy looking at where you at, you don't even notice where he is. And see sometimes, man, that that helped me, and that's going to help me in the future to realize that what I'm going through, that he's there. He's there with me, and he gonna protect me, and he ain't gonna let my enemies overcome me, and he ain't gonna let nobody overtake me, and he ain't gonna let me go under because he's there. It's just you can't be so busy looking at where you at that you don't take notice or where he at. God is always there, He's always available, and the best way to tap into that and know it is you got to pray. Prayer has changed my life. Prayer can change your life. You can become something if you just pray. You're listening to show, Ladies and gentlemen, let me have it, please your undivided attention.

Okay, good news at least hopeful. Police in Beverly Hill say they've arrested a suspect and the murder of fame music producer Clarence Avon's wife, Jacqueline. He's identified as a twenty nine year old Paroli from Los Angeles named Ariel Mayner, whom they say has an extensive record. Authorities say they have numerous videos showing Mayner's car exiting the area near the Avon house around the time that the eighty one year old Miss Savad was fatally shot. Police also say they've recovered a gun, which, according to initial reports, appears to be linked to the murderer. Nevertheless, Beverly Hills cops repeat right now, anyway, Ariel Mainer is merely a suspect at this point. He is, though under arrest. Health officials documented the first case of the omicron variant in the US and San Francisco on Wednesday, and then it was another one in Michigan and a third one in Colorado. There's now one in Hawaii, but there are now I've confirmed omicron cases in New York State. But President Biden's reminding the American people that the path to protection should be well known by Now you're worried about olmacron variant. The best thing to do is get fully vaccinated and then get your booster shop. Get your child vaccinated at one of the thirty five thousand locations in the country, including doctor's offices, pharmacies, children's hospitals, and nine thousand pop up clinics at schools. Vaccinating our children is also critical to keeping our schools open. Additionally, we're increasing the availability of new medications recommended by real doctors. Not conspiracy serious, but to recap. Mister Biden says, get vaccinated, get the booster, and wear your mask. The city of Saint Petersburg, Florida, canceling the inaugural ball that was planned for its very first black mayor, Ken Welsh, because he says, I'm not going. The theme is to be a circus, which many black residents of the once segregated city, including the mayor Elecque, find offensive. Arizona State University says acquitted Kenosha was Kilica Rittenhouse not an enrolled student there. They say Rittenhouse was apparently taking some online classes at ASU as a non degree seeking student. He recently expressed though a desire to study on campus, but when students heard about it, there are several online protests against Rittenhouse, launched by ASU students and other groups, demanding that the university removed the young vigilante from any ASU classes. And finally, looks like black women are making history. Five black women crown the winners of some of the world's most fastigious beauty padgets now including Miss Team USA, Miss America, Miss USA, Miss Earth, and Miss World. This is the first time in history that this has happened. Now back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to show, all right, A lot of people are losing sleep because of work, guys. A new study by account Tips finds that forty four percent of professionals are losing sleep over work. As for why, fifty percent say they've been overwhelmed with work, the volume of work they have, the hours that they have to put in. Some of the other reasons for work related sleep loss include a strange coworker relationships, wow. Uh worried that they may lose their job. That's a lot of stress. Yeast, Oh this is a good one.

You have got to be kidding me, okay, I'm not hearing this. Do you understand what that means? Do you understand that he lives in my household? Do you understand that that means that he has been dipping somewhere else? Because I have been not doing anything that would even come close to bringing something to him like that. So it's how apparent that this man has been outside of my household and doing when he has no business doing and bring it back in. Man, I'm not at liberty to make any accusations like that. I cannot say anything like that. All I can say is I'd like for both of you. You know, it'd be good for both of you guys to come in and because one tell you about this is something treatable, it is curable. I don't care about it being treatable or curable. What I care about is the fact that he apparently has been somewhere with some trick and brought something back home to my household. That's what I care about. I do understand that, mister Jannis, I do, but you have to understand my position and what I'm trying to do. I'm just trying to reaching out and well, listen, you happen to call my household.

Yes, okay, I got it. Okay, you call him and set a twelve new an appointment to trust me when I tell you, when he walked through that door and see my face, he will know. Okay, okay, missus mischares.

I will get there before he gets there, and his own I'm telling you that's how it's gonna roll. Do you understand me, miss missus, misses, I can't allow any chaos to be going on in the building. I cannot allow that. Let me know you're creative. Let me tell you something I don't care. I could care less about what you feel about it and what you can and can't.

It is the strawberry let us subjects. If you don't get yo Mama. That's what it says in the title. If you don't get yo Mama, I will Dear Steveson, Dear Stephen Shirley. I have found the man of my dreams and we've been together for five years. We have one child together, and I'm pregnant with our second child. Our relationship is great, but my boyfriend's mother is a huge problem, and I'm fed up with her inserting herself into every aspect of our lives. She comments and how we parent, our finances, my decorating style, how I cook, and my housekeeping skills. Recently, our child was sick and she caused a big scene in the hospital, saying that it was my fault for not taking better care of her grandchild. My child is young, and she constantly critiques him, which makes him not like her very much. Last week, she told me that she hopes the new baby is not a brat like my toddler. My boyfriend seems to overlook her insults when she goes in on him, but it's hard for me to hear her telling him that he's a sorry excuse for a man. I have told her that her behavior is unacceptable, and she said that she's just having us much needed advice and constructive criticism because we're young and don't know anything. Stephen Shirley. We are in our early thirties and we can take care of ourselves. I'm starting to think that she might be right about my boyfriend being sorry because he won't talk to her about her foul mouth and bad attitude. I have told him that she is no longer welcome in our home and that I do not want her to have a relationship with our new baby. I don't need this stress during the last trimester of my pregnancy. How can I get this man to step up and get his mom in check? Please advise? All right, first of all, let me tell you this. Not welcoming her in your home and not wanting her to have a relationship with the new baby, that's kind of hearts. Okay, Now, is your boyfriend and mama's boy. I have to say yes to that. I have to say also that you're right. Your man should be checking his mom in a respectful way. She is too messy, she is too involved in your relationship. She's too petty. She does need to get her some business. I'm in agreement with all of that, But unless he says something to her, she's not gonna She's not gonna pull up. You've already said something. But you're right, you don't need this kind of stress in your last try trimester of your pregnancy. But but how dare she though? I mean, what's what's all this disrespect? Has this been going on for the entire five years? I can't believe you guys have allowed it to go on for so long. And I'm gonna ask you this. Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that you guys aren't married five years, two kids later, that's a lot. Maybe, you know, she might be messy and all of that, you know, with her ways and everything, but she might also be old school and she wants you to to stop having children and making you know, making babies and all this and go ahead and tie the knot. You know. Maybe that's where this is really coming from. Just something to think about there, Steve. The mama is out of love, yeah, and period. It sain't got nothing to do really with the boy or the girl. The mama is way out of line. Now. With that being said, whose job is it to check her the sun? But surely hid it. This a mama's boy now, and we got a little problem, but I got news for it. He doesn't even have to be a mama's boy, because it's not that he's over there all the time. It's that she interjects herself into y'all's every aspect of your life. And you just won't get him to say nothing. The dude that don't say nothing to his mama's really not because he's a mama's boy. This ain't nothing new to him. Let me get to the letter. She comments on how we're parent our finances, my decorating style, how I cook, my house cleaning, and then your child got sick and she calls a big scene at the hospital saying it was my fault for not taking better care of her grandchild. It's just half a crazy. That's how you get a person arrested. That's how you get child protective services, That's how you get children taken from people. She's got to be crazy. Once you start making these statements in the hospital, they starts checking real closer. Yeah, my child is young, and she constantly critiques him, which makes him not like her. Very much. See, this is an old battle acts right here, this health right here. She ain't happy with herself. So she ain't happy with you, the way your parents, the way you clean, the way you She ain't happy with the grandchild. She ain't happy with her son. This is an old, old battle ax. Last week she told me she hopes the new baby is not a brat like my toddler. Is she serious? What's wrong with her? Man? She's just a nasty person. My boyfriend seems to overlook her insults when she goes in on him, but it's hard for me to hear her telling him that he's a side excuse for a man she raised him. It's her son, You're side excuse for a man you raised. So you know, let's get some of these fingers pointing at you. I told her that her behavior is unacceptable, and she said that she's just giving us much needed advice and constructive criticism. Take the word constructive out. It's just criticism and it's not much needed. It's that you do it all the time because you funk it, because you ain't happy with yourself. She says, she's doing that because you're young and you don't know anything. Stephen Sherlett. We're in our early thirties and we can take care of ourselves. I'm starting. She thinks she might be right about my boyfriend being sorry. Okay, she's winning now or she gets you over the leaning that right there, she winning. Don't let her do it, you'll dode. Ain't sorry. He just won't talk to her about her fire mouth and bad attitude. You know why this ain't new to him. He grew up with her, her bad attitude and fire mouth. He grew up with it. He don't even hit no more. It's the norm for him. This is new to you. So what you're tripping on, he's made the adjustment to He don't even hear her. Wow, he been't cut her out? All right, Steve, hang on, we'll have part two of your response to today's Strubberry letter. If you don't get your mama, I will at twenty three after the hour, right after you're listening. All right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strubberry letter. If you don't get your mama. Recap The old mama is an old battle axe. She's not happy. She better she evil. She don't like nothing. She debased this woman out in the hospital. Damn near got in trouble. Talk about you hoping the new baby ain't like just brought you to raise Wow? Wow she evil? Yeah, she don't like the way the lady cook clean dou house parents nothing evil was ugly. She say her son is a side excuse for a man, and that's who she read. Now I'm starting to think she might be right about my boyfriend being sorry. He's not. He's just used to her because he won't talk to her about her firemouth and bad attitude once again, because he used to her. He grew up with the firemouth and an attitude. That's just how his mama is. She didn't just get this way. I've told him that she is no longer welcome. I've told him that she's no longer welcome in our home and that I do not want her to have relationship with our knew baber. Okay, that's not cool. I got she ain't cool at all. But two wrongs ain't gonna make it right. You told your husband that his mama ain't welcome in our home no more. You got him in a bad spot. You got him in the horribles because it's crazy as wrong as she is. It's still his mama. He loved her. I don't need this stress during my last trimester of my pregnancy. How can I get my man to step off and get his mom in check? His mom has never been in a check. This ain't new, so I don't know. You know, he's got to sit his mom down and go, mom, this my family. I loved them. Yeah, and he's got to make the case in point to her so she can lighten up, or you're gonna lose, you know us, because I'm not gonna keep bringing my girl around for this here, for you to do this to her. And maybe she'll come around. I don't know, but I don't think she will because she old old hell, old battle lass. Oh, I'm talking about cranky with her anchor on a big old rusty anchors a mean she's a mean woman. Man. It's hard to deal with people that stak She did everything but call her ugly. She really did. She insult her everything, her cooking or cleaning, her decorating style, how they parent their finances, the brat right, call the baby a brat, her husband a boyfriend is a size useful of man. Yeah, and then she said they need it they need her advice because they're young and they don't know anything. Man. Yeah, and then she's pregnant with their second child. Who she's right, she doesn't need that kind of stress. No, she don't. Your main concern is the healthy your baby. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, he definitely needs to sit down and and talk to his mom. Maybe they can do it together, you know, look, let's try to get along as a family. Huh you mean together with the baby mom. Yeah, I mean they maybe the two of them can set the mom down and say, look, we we can't do this. Because if they permit present a united front to the mom, maybe she'll get it. And where where's the dad? Where's her husband? She doesn't have one in all this. He left when he was a boy, when the son and he got hit by a car. When no, I'm just saying he father might not be in his life at all. Nor is he trying to get back over there because he got to deal with her. Yeah, but they gotta do something because I you know, like I said, I think it's harsh if she doesn't want her in the new baby's life and not to come over there anymore. They have to work that she don't like the first baby. Yeah, yeah, she called him a brat, right, yeah, she's she's a mean, mean one mama right there, man, Oh yeah, but you're right, he probably tuned her out. Oh don't even yeah, no, no, But does she just walk up in their house and start talking or what? How does she get in there? They have to let her in, so probably the door. Yeah, they're gonna have to sit and sit her down and really really talk to her and tell her about herself in a respectful way. H good luck with Dada. But her question is how can she get her man to step up and get his mom in check? Maybe if they both do it together, because yeah, his his her son has tuned him out, tuned her out, like you say, step yeah, yeah, I mean completely tuned. It's such a bad case right here, because you know, just put an ultimatum down about mama can't come over the house no more, and I don't have a relationship with the child because her mother is so evil to her first baby. Yeah yeah. And then Shirley, there's something to play with them not being married, but it wouldn't matter to her. She's an evil woman regardless, right right. She might can be using the fact that they're not married, as the excuse, but she would be nasty to the girl if they were married. Yeah, all right, guys, we gotta get out of here. You can post your thoughts on Today's Strawberry Letter. It's Steve Harvey f M. And check out our Strawberry Letter podcast on demand. Okay, our Strawberry Letter podcast on demand.

That's what he asked Steve, And he gave a list of title. I gave him a whole lot of stuff he was, but what he was? But Steve, these are from grown women. Okay, these are from good and grown women who need your advice. This one's from Sarah out of New Orleans. She says, Steve, I'm sixty one, I'm sexy with my Angela Davis Fro. I'm in love and I can't get enough of my man. I want him for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, morning, noon and night. He's sixty five and we have such great chemistry. There's one problem. He's been married for the past thirty years, but he says he wants to leave her from me. I hope he isn't just leading me on. Should I trust him? Excuse me, lady, have you not heard this before? I mean, you're sixty one. You've never heard of a married man saying he wants to leave her. Anybody who wants to leave somebody and it's really wanting to go, can leave. He's been married for thirty years. He ain't going nowhere. He's sixty five. Let me tell you why he can't leave. He can't mess up his pension, he can't mess up his medicare. Come on, he can't mess up his insurance. He took close to the tape to make an idiotic move like this. Now too close to the tape. He damned that out. He didn't live wig motor, he got left. Don't talk to him man this close to the damn tape and ask him to make thirty year old decisions. He's on the back nine of golf. He's on the back back nine. Lady, you got it. He has a wife. It's not you, Nope, you're the chick on the side. You know why it's so good because y'all ain't got no bills together. Y'all ain't got no medicaid together. Y'all ain't trying to make no house no together. Y'all ain't got no grandkids. Y'all ain't trying to prepare for retirement. That's why it's great. Go put that other stuff on it. You ain't gonna like his ass. He's down to the little bit of milk left in the cereal. That's where he is down to, y'all stupid medics. After the hour, we'll have more from the CLO right after this. You're listening to show, all right, So Steve, here's a question for you, since you're the CLO, the Chief Love Officer. All right, how long do you think it takes before couples, you know, have the talk about how to label their relationship. And I'm asking you that because a new study. This is according to a new study, uh it says that it takes on average six weeks to have what you know, what we are talk and to label the relationship. Well, you know when you have to talk about your relationship and putting labels on where are we going? Where you know? Isn't it what are we doing? You know? What are we doing? Should have it at is a restaurant? No? No, no, no no, I said, you know, like when when and what time in the relationship should we have it? I think ninety days? Okay, I think for a woman's sake, I think a woman has to get a determination, get some type of idea of where this is going. Okay, when she finds out out, just give it up because that's ninety days. Well, you know what you don't have to do as a guy a minium by don't mean give it up, do it, but go ahead, but you know, um, ninety days. You should have an idea what it's going. You've every right to know. And ask a man what it is his head? Okay. Another question, Steve, how should they bring it up? How should you broach that subject. No, damn text messages. That's for san you know. You know, if a woman is curious about what the relationship is, she got to bring it up. If a man wants it to find it, he needs to break it. But and how should they do that? That was my original? Hey, where we're going? Just right out with it? I said, where we're going? What is all this? What we're doing? In that tone? No, but that's the man, because that can't be the woman. Well, hello, wait, surely don't rush pass that. Wait baby, I'm just asking too, though, Steve, don't you think that. I don't know, for women sometimes they might feel it's kind of awkward or they don't know how to do that to just come right out with it and say, hey, where are we going with this musaship? What are we Yeah? That you just saying, come right on out with it? Well, I mean, you know, you could try to like round about out. So can I ask you a question? Yeah? My girlfriends are starting to ask me what type of relationship is this? What should I say? Okay, you know what should I be saying to people? And let him give you an ode? Yeah, that's what that's now, that's what I wanted to know. Yeah, how that's what I figured. But that's good, CLO, that's good. So wait like ninety days to even bring up the talk and kind of ease into it. You're saying, kind of ease into it, right, ninety days, ladies, you have every right to be able to say, okay, so what do we have? Especially if ninety days you start passing out that cookie. There's no reason for you to pass out the cookie and not understand what it is. Okay, you know, if we're if we're in a committed relationship, you should know that. I want to know that before I passed out to cookie. Yeah, right? Is this a monogamous relationship? Are we committed? Exclusive? Are we exclusive? What is it? I need to know? Okay? You know that makes sense, don't Oh? Yes, yes, yes? And then you say when you want to bring the subject up, you kind of ease into it, you know, just slide it to him, you know what I mean? Hey, look, no, we've been dating for a while and my girlfriends and co workers are starting to ask me what is this we have? So I mean, how would you like for me to address you or describe you what I'm talking to other people? You know, kind of put it on them a little bit. Yeah, and what and what should the woman say if the man asked her? Or will a man ask her that question? Oh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course I don't do they want to know? And what should the woman say? You know, the truth? I mean, you know, a guy could say, hey, baby, look we've been at this for a little while. Are we exclusive or no? And then if it's exclusive, you gotta tell him yes. And if it's not thing, you just got to say, hey, no, it's not really, do I'm seeing some other people? Okay, all right, right, just exactly, Thank you, Celo. We'll be back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this. You're listening every morning show. Wait a minute, the phone's right now. It's a deal. Hello, Hello, Hello, it's me.

All of my jobs to have an element of meat, using my god giving talent. So I love my work. It's the things that surround my work like when you stupid? I just can't stand that. Man. Is that no Jay? Good? Jay? Ignor different from stupid? And when you're doing stuff that ain't attached to nothing and just has no rhyme or reason? What you steady doing? Oh? Anyone in particular in mind er, just anyone at the job. I know I didn't think he was gonna say you honestly, um, okay, why would I say? It's uncomfortable? Right now? Yes? Why are you uncomfortable? You're not stupid? Oh? I know, I know. You just don't like the way that Tommy goes into the shell when you call him stupid. But let him go in there. When you go into the shell, he can't say no stupid. He's here working. What are you gonna do? He's working. I'm right hello, everyone, I'm here. I'm right here. Yeah, yeah, okay, I'm right here. You stop doing it, stop talking over and around me. I'm right here, all right. Coming up the last break of the day, Steve will have some closing remarks for us. Don't go anywhere. We'll be back at forty nine minutes after the hour right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve, We've come to the end of the road for this week. This is our last break of the day on this Friday. Leave us with some closing remarks. Please, you know something, man, I'm not gonna take long to tell you this, but what's the old say that the grass is always greener on the other side. So when you hear that, what they're saying is almost like a warning to people be careful because it always appears that the grass is greener on the other side. And so many people spending their life standing at the fence looking at somebody else's grass and then acknowledging the fact that the grass is greener, it causes you to do nothing about your own yard. And then some people have the audacity, and you see it on the internet all the time that if they look over there and your grass is greener, they try to kill the grass or throw some weeds in it. But you know what I come away with, I don't worry about that because here's what I know. I'm too busy working on my own grass to notice if yours is greener. That's really the truth. I'm really so busy working on my own grass that I don't have time to notice if yours is greener. Because if it is greener. Let's suppose your grass is greener, why can't mind be just as green. I ain't saying we're gonna have the same yard. We're just talking about the color of the grass that's in your yard. You don't have to have the same size house I got. You ain't got to have the same size house it ain't got. You ain't got to have the same size house Oprah got. You ain't gonna have the same size yard they got. But if you take care of your business, you can have grass just as green as everybody else. If you just handle your business. The gold in life is to get your grass to be as green as it can. So when you go outside to pick your crops, it got some fruit to bath. And God will always supply your needs. So even though it may look like somebody got made more fruit and they orchard, let me tell you something if you can't. If you got an orchard full of apple tree, a thousand apple trees, and I got one apple tree in my yard, but you got a thousand apple trees in your yards. When it's time to eat, how many apples can you eat? Let's say you eat apple six apples that make you fool. My one tree got six apples on it, so we both fool. See at one point in time, you're gonna have to get content with where you are in your process of the journey. Stop looking at everybody grass, Stop looking at everybody orchard. They grass greener than mine, They got more apple trees than mine. Hey, man, eat apples off your tree. You might find out that you have enough. But if you could wear and counting mind, you're gonna mess around. Let worms get on yours. I'm too busy working on my own grass to even notice that your grass is greener. Change your commitment to everybody else, from everybody else's business. Change your commitment to your business. If you the time you spend worried about them, looking at them, talking about them, if you took that same amount of time and spending on yourself, you have any idea what you could accomplish. That's why haters man in so much trouble. Man, you don't even understand. Let people hate all they want. They tending to too many other people's business. Don't get into hate business. It serves nobody. And that's another thing. Somebody asked me how to I deal with my haters? I keep all my haters in my classroom. I just got them watching me because that's all they can do. They can't stop nothing God has for me. They can't take away one blessing God gives me. They can't do nothing to me. You can't bring no harm on me that I won't be able to survive. I'm not saying that it don't bother me sometime. I don't. I'm not saying that people don't attack me sometime. But when you get through attacking me, I'm a weather, you're storm. I'm Isaiah forty three one and two. I can walk through the rivers and not be overturned. The waters would not overtake me. I can walk through the fire and not be burned. Nor were kindling set upon my clothing. I wouldn't been through some fire situations and came out on the other side. And if there was no kindling, there was no signs that I was even in a fire. Now, understand something, but that scripture does not say that when you walk through the fire that it ain't gonna be ungodly. Hota. Now, it's been plenty hot for me on plenty days, many occasions. Oh, I'd have made some mistakes in front of the world. Before I didn't had to deal with some stuff. But when I got through, what no signs that I was ever in a fire. That's the God, I said. I have no concern about what people say they're gonna do to me. I have no concern about how green your grass is. On the other side, I have no concern about how many apple trees in your orchard. I'm too busy tending to my own grass to even notice that yours is greener. And if I do look over the congratulations on your beautiful green yard, I'm getting mine there too. That's all it is. Fix your attitude, change your attitude, you'll change your altitude. Those are my closing remarks.
