Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all back a suit, looking back to back down, giving them just like theming buck things. And it's not me through good it. Steve has to mother for star. Please don't joy joining me. You gotta use that turn very You gotta turn to turn them out, turning. Got to turn them out to turn the water the water. Come come on your baby, Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now one It only Steve harvey Man got a radio show. Real glad about it too, you know, um um. I hope that God always keeps me in the frame of frame of mind to try to be sharing and try to be motivational, and even when it's not felt or wanted by some people. I have people around me who seem to not benefited off anything, and I can sit with them and talk to them or take meetings with them to try to encourage them, and for whatever reason, you know, they want to just keep going the way they're going. When you run into people like that, you have to pray for them. You have to just hope that one day that they release the chains on their mind and open up your mind to a new way of thinking. A couple of things I wanted to go over with that I want you to all today in terms of motivation, I want you to be aware of statements or old sayings that have been created that you hear over the course of time, and you may be applying them to your life. And I want you to be careful of some of them because some of these old sayings, man, are not designed for people who are dreamers, are not designed for people who have any aspirations of being extraordinary. These are not designs or sayings that people who want to be extremely successful at anything or have high aspirations to put these sayings into your life. Let me give you an example. Statistics say that's it. That's the one who want you to be careful about statistics, say be very careful of stats. When a person says, you know statistics, say one out of every what see, listen to me. These are things that sound like they're good, sound solid advice, but they're setting you up for failure. And you can't adhere yourself to a lot of these sayings that's been passed down from generations and it's not scripture. It ain't in the scripture nowhere that statistics say. It's just some people, and a lot of people who have lost have come up with these sayings to justify why they keep losing or why they lost. When I was arst got started in the business, there were more stand ups around now than it is today because the comedy boom in eighty four eighty five was it was gaining a lot of momentums, comedy club, comedy nights everywhere. The statistic that a guy told me, I told him I wanted to be on the Johnny Carson Show, the Tonight Show. The guy said, one out of every two thousand comedians ever make it to the Tonight Show. Okay, Now, when he told us that, some of the comedians in the room went, well, wow, man's oh that's rough. Because a guy had also said that there was approximately six thousand comedians in the country at that time. I don't know if it was true. I'm just telling you guys out the sputing numbers. I have no idea how many it was. But he said one in every two thousand will make it to the Tonight Show. And he let the air out of everybody in the room button me. So every night before I went on stage, I used to do this right here, but thatapa bada la la la la Badampa ba la la la da. That was the tonight theme song. I was young, opening act nowhere near Hollywood, didn't. I was in Cleveland telling jokes at one night us. But that was my thing because I was bent and determined that if it's one in two thousand, okay, why don't I just be the one? Be careful when people say statistics say because they are set up to ful failure. If you're gonna adhere to him, see that one in so many it wasn't so many people win the lottery. But if you don't play the lottery, you ain't gonna be the one to hit. Now when the dude hit you go while he was lucky, but he played. Here's another one. Maybe it's not meant to be. All right, let's go one step further. I guess it wasn't the Lord's will. Don't you dare blame God for something you may have not done yourself because you didn't get the proper education, because you didn't do the things you were supposed to do, because you didn't stay to the task because you quit, turned around and went the other way. Now, maybe it's not It wasn't the lord's will. These are all statements that sound like sound advice, but they ain't all the time, got nothing to do with you. Stop letting these old fogy sayings get in your way of what can happen in your life. Don't put all your eggs in one basket? Who came up with this? Who came up with the If you don't pour all your efforts into one thing, how are you gonna be great at that one thing? If Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird had not played basketball sun up to sundown. Magic Johnson didn't go to Michigan to get an education. Land Burry didn't go to Indiana to get an education. These casts was bawling. Michael Jordan didn't go to North Carolina get an education. They went to play ball. They went to do one thing. Tiger Woods didn't go to Stanford to get an education. He went to play golf. As soon as he got good enough, he'd gone. These are guys that put all their eggs in one basket. See what's what's cool with putting all your eggs in one basket. Is you now can maximize your effort and laser beam what you're doing. Your problem is all you gotta do is make sure what is your basket made out of. If your basket is made out of faith, hope, hard work, and belief, then guess what, that's a good basket. I'm dumping all mine in it because ever since I was a young dude, I've been telling jokes. One thing, one thing only. Even when he got ugly and I was living in a car, I never quit telling them jokes. Man. I just kept believing that them jokes was gonna pay me one day, and I'll be dog gone if it didn't. I ain't take no time off. Go work at the Walmart, give me a job, go back to forward and beg for my job back. Hey man, put all your eggs in a basket. Just make sure that your basket is made up of faith, hope, belief, hard work. Your basket woven by God. What you're tripping for, you're defeating yourself. Where is your faith? Where is your belief? Where is your trust? At one point in time, you got to believe that God could do what he say gonna do because he didn't done it for others, He'll most certainly do it for you. Be careful of these sayings that's out here, that's aligned by losers and people to justify why they are not succeeded. Don't apply this stuff to your life. And it ain't got nothing to do with you. You're gonna mess yourself up, all right. Okay, you're listening show, ladies and gentlemen, Hi yay, hi hey, well about to start the Steve Harvey Morning shall ladies and gentlemen without five do Heve is Hell the Earl of Artingham, Earl Hei ya hi hi hi Now today ranging you the Steve Harvey Morning Show, Ladies and gentlemen.

That is New York City mayoral candidate Ray McGuire will be our special guest. We cannot wait to talk to him, but right now it is time, yeah for the cello Chief Love Officer Steve Harvey in the building him. Yeah, all right, So here we go. This one is from Tanjula in Mississippi. Tanjula writes, I'm a thirty two year old professional woman by day and at night I'm an escort. I keep a low profile in my city and go to the neighboring city for my escort business. I've been dating a guy for almost three months, and he thinks I'm a school teacher and model because I met him at a casting call for models for a music video. I need my side gig to pay off my student loans. But I know this guy won't like it. Should I be honest with him or keep the lie going? Oh? Wait a minute, what? So she says she does what in a daytime? She's a professional woman, she says, she didn't say specifically, but she's an escort. Yeah at nice. So what is the last she's trying to keep that she's in schort, that she's Wait a minute, she's an escort to pay off her student loans. Well, wait a minute, how did he meet her? Um? It says she she met him. Um, she's been dating him. He thinks school teacher. She thinks he's a school teacher at a model because she met him at a casting call for models. Oh a video? Oh okay, so he didn't call the escort service and meet him, No, sir, Oh okay, he met her at the thing. So he thinks well he doesn't know uh the junk the jello man. Oh wait, dude, do her name sound familiar to you? Ain't like her? Damn name was Denise and I missed. Don't get bad. Well, first of all, change your damn name. Yeah, yeah, everybody gonna know who you are. Your name' at the escort service, all down at the school board to googlers. Very rare. So look, look, hey, look, young sister. You can't be so desperate to pay off your student loans that you will do anything. Your reputation in your life forward after this is far more important than the present. And always understand that what you're doing the dog today gonna come out in the light tomorrow and it may ruin an opportunity with a career move or a man. So if I were you, I would double think this escort service business. It's paying off student loans, ain't that important? They got all types of things available because of COVID. Now with student loans, you need to go online and research some of this stuff. They got programs and help you pay off student loans. You ain't got to sell yourself to pay off no damn loan. Think about your life moving forward to thirty two. You're an attractive girl, so you think you should she should be honest with him. No, hell no, no go. Your job is doing today. You're a professional woman. That's your damn job. Do not tell this man you an escort. Okay, just get out to escort business. This ain't the time for the truth. Well, y'all keep getting this phone that gets man. Now this truth, y'all be trying to tell nobody. Want to hear that? Do be liking you? Now?

My husband and I saw this girl and her boyfriend making out in the car parked in front of our house. My husband is the type to mind is business, but not if it's in front of our house. Should we tell her parents? About this. No, that ain't your business. You ain't never been in house. That ain't your damn business. What what is you talking about? Mind your damn business? Y'all want to move your old ass down there with all the young people. Now, if you should have stayed your ass where old people can't climb in back seats and do nothing? No, tell tell her parents what stop? It ain't your business. Your husband is a type to mind his business. You should too, And what good is telling it gonna do?

Go to senior citizens home? If you batdamn old god, Philly, we're moving on. Candice in Philly, says my mother and my crazy aunt maybe sharing a man. My aunt and my stepdad have an inappropriate friendship. My aunt introduced him to my mom, but I think they used to mess around before that. We all went to my aunt's house last month for a cookout and my aunt was sitting on my stepdad's lap. I noticed her suddenly grinding on his lap, and when she realized I saw it. She jumped up. I told my mom what happened, and she said they liked to joke around like that. How could my mom be so blond? Cause your mama like jokes. She said, they joking round. Yo, mama probably laughing her ass off somewhere. Once again, If this ain't yo damn business, what is wrong with these letters today? These grown ass people consisting adults? Yo, Hunt was on hush sister's husband's lap grinding, saw you and jumped up. Now he had to stay seated obvious reason. Then you didn't already went and told your mama, and your mama told you they joke around like that. Your mama might already know what's going on. Your mama might be playing as something. Stay wise, your young ass murder, that's right to see. The other people was too old to be in this, and now you're too young to be in the worst damn clo question we knows to ask people.

He spoke clearly as he mourned one of the worst acts of racist murder in the US history, the massacrel a hundred years ago of some three hundred black men, women and children and what was then called Black Wall Street. The history of what took place here was told in silence, cloaked in darkness. But just because history is silent, it doesn't mean that it did not take place, and social studies teachers never taught it or any of the massacres. Some twelve hundred black owned homes businesses were looted and then burned to the ground by vicious, jealous white mobs mobsters. The victims insurance claims were denied, so over ten thousand residents were left destitute and homeless and placed in internment camps. The President says, quote literal hell was unleashed on that nighborhood. By the way, the destruction of Blackwall Street was not the first or the last massacre of upwardly mobile black Americans in this country. There were two a dozen at least others, including Rosewood, Florida, and Wilmington, North Carolina. And the object was always the same, to keep African Americans living conditions below that of even the lowest and dumbest whites. The usual reason used some black man supposedly assaulted a white woman, which was usually, if not always, a lie. I have a map marking many of the mass murder sites on my Facebook page. Check it out. One that's not on the map, though, was the massacre in the town of pont San Puerto Rico on March twenty first, nineteen thirty seven, where police shot a peaceful protesters there, killing nineteen and entering over two hundred. On another matter, the presidents still hoping to work out a deal with the Republicans on infrastructure. Mister Biden's schedule get together later today with West Virginia Republican shelleymore Capital and last look. The Democrats wanted one point seven trillion bucks to fix the nation's roads and bridges. Republicans, though, offering only nine hundred twenty eight bi in with a b dollars. A man who works for CNN who works security for its broadcast in the wake of the murderer of George Floyd, has followed civil rights lawsuit against two white Minnesota state patrol officers, one male, one female, who arrested him and held him for twenty hours. Michael Cooper is black. He says he was standing among a bunch of other credited news crews when he and the only Hispanic, Omar Jimenez, were arrested. None of the white news crew members was taken into custody. He wants a jury trial and monetary damages and get this, are you listening? Sit down? According to a Business Insider story, Donald Trump is telling friends he's going to be reinstated as president in August. Pro Trump is like that my pillow guy, Mike Lindell had been pushing this new, baseless claim for months. The New York Times reporter Maggie Harman says Trump's been telling friends he will be a sitting president in a couple of months, even though that's not how things work in this country. And finally, when is coming back? The Atlantic hurricane season officially started yesterday. Meteorologist are predicting as many as twenty name storms between now and the end of November. Now back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening, Hey, everybody, I distinguished guests this morning.

My single mother raised me and my two brothers along with my grandparents, and we had define foster children's siblings in our home at any point time. And I can remember mother raison, uh you know, working three jobs at any point in time so she could make the end met and she had to debate whether or not she's going to put food on the table. Okay, the gas and lecture fille tied and offered in the church. And what motivated me was the only thing we had, the only way out was education. Well, it was prayer. You know, this is this's been a walk of faith from the start, you know. You know I had to go to school and I had to go to church. That's it. I mean that that combination. Pretty potent combination, right Daniel, you know, and I gotta tell you yeah, no, no, no, go ahead, I gotta tell you, man, the in that combination. I can remember my grandfather who who you know, got a third grade education and learned to read by reading the Bible.

Now, Ray, I've been I've been knowing you for a long time, and so now we're running for the mayor of New York City. You got a specific plan to renew small businesses, to help unemployment, housing, public safety, education, the art. Let's talk about what everybody is calling the Ray McGuire Comeback Plan for New York City. Tell us about it. Yeah, I call it the greatest, most inclusive, and I say most inclusive by design, economic comeback planning, the history of New York City. What's behind that is New York has been hit hard, right. I got five or six hundred thousand people out of work. If I look at the unemployment rate in New York, it's two times for the national average, right, and so New York has been't hit bad. It sall go big, goes small, go forward, go biggest, fix and infrastructure. It is, you know, affordable housing. It is fixing the sewage mains and the fractured bridges. Yes, it's getting me and a half of New Yorkers, many of us, many of them look like us who don't have broadbent or access to tablets. And it's also addressing a hundred year flood that comes every five years. Hey, go small. Let's focus on those small businesses. Fifty thousand jobs in the small businesses because small businesses represent a half of New York's workforce, and so we got to focus on that. And I got a whole menu about how I'm gonna go and fix the small businesses, invest in the all that this is a cup of deureaucracy. But the theme that's gonna get big is what I'm going to do going forward, Go bigg smoke, go forward, and go forward. It's got to be focused on mwbe's the minority and women owned, black and brown owned businesses. And what my view is there is that we've been out that for so long that when they give us crumbs, they want us to feel full. I'm not interested in the crumbs. A matter of fact, I'm interested in the case. I want us to own the bakeries. And so we got to be focused on that, right, That's what we've got to be focused on. We got to be focused on the future technology. You know, it's important to get that type of support because the people who you have name reference came up the same way I did, and they came up from the bottom. And so to give that kind of endorsement, and there have been others from the bottom who have less name recognition. I will give you Sean Belle's mother, Valerie Belle, or when car Eric Garner's mother, or Robert Rodriguez, who represents the ATOM. I go through the list of people, and these people are on the ground. Some people have arisen from the bottom and gotten to the top of whatever it is they're doing. Jay and Nas and Eddie and South Valorie clearly as a distinguished personality, and I mean just a distinguished talent and huge public servant. And I look at those people. I look at the other people who stepped up. This is all about what takes place when you call the common man, it's me, it's you, it is the people, right. This is all about that. What this journey is about is making certain that, as my words say, by the least of these get representations. Hey, rate, I'm gonna give you one last thing to say, Man, what's one thing you want to leave our listeners with this morning? Listen, This ain't about me. This is about we. We got one shot to get for us right, and we need to come together now in order for our best days to be ahead of us and not behind us. And so this has been a walk of faith. I neither support and go to raid fromare dot com, but Steve, coming from you and your crew and all that you will represent. You will represent excellence. You all have made it against the highest level of screuting, against the most difficult odds, and those of us who are fortunate and blessed to be inspired by you every morning.

Thank you, nephew. Sub I married a social media thought. Okay, Dear Stephen Shirley, I really hope you can help. I am forty one and my husband is forty three years old. We've been together for a total of thirteen years and married for ten. Throughout our relationship, there have been situations where my husband was getting attention from lots of different women and entertaining them on the side. This is all before social media got amped up. I would notice him buying new clothes or working out more, and I just knew some women, some woman must have complimented him or told him he had nice arms or something. He has always been thirsty for attention, and my mother tells him he's a big flirt. Within the past four years, he joined three social media apps and just and he justified it by saying Facebook was to keep up with his old friends, Instagram was to get news alerts and sports news, and Twitter was to keep up with our former president. From the very beginning, I knew I was going to have problems if he was able to connect with females through these apps. He went from posting for self posing for selfies to having photoshoots with me taking pictures of him no matter where we work. I jokingly asked him to get in the pictures with him, and he always tells me next time. My male coworker has an Instagram account and I asked him if he follows my husband's account. He said he unfollowed him because of all the stuff he posts. I look at it. Looked at his page, and he's got pictures of himself shirtless, pictures of himself flexing and muscle shirts, and a whole lot of selfies. He looks like a thought that single and ready to mingle. I joined Instagram without him knowing, so now I see what he posts every day. I told him that he's doing way too much on social media. He said what he's doing is fun and harmless. Is this normal for a man or not? Well, okay, it is rare. I have to agree with you that men are are thoughts on Instagram, So no, this is not normal. You see female influencers, you see female models all the time, but men not so much. And for someone like your husband, who you say loves attention, this is a perfect vehicle for him. He can get the likes from all over the world several times a day. And this is the problem you His wife had had to live with his newfound fame every day. I mean, you know you said he was cheating before. Well he's brand new now it's all about him and he's caught up. I mean, he doesn't even want you to take pictures with him. You could take pictures of him, but not with him. You're his wife, so you know there's a problem right there in his mind. A picture with you would probably be blocking. You know, all the tension he's getting your attention. Your mother sees. Your mother sees it. She said, he's a big flirt. And yes, that's what he's doing on social media. He's letting the ladies slide into his dms, comment on his posts, and follow him. All of that. Now does he need that much validation? Does he? How insecure and narcissistic. Is this man you married? I mean, not too many grown men have time or money to do all this that he's doing photo shoots and stuff selfies all the time. Your marriage is in trouble. It is because your husband is immature and his attention is elsewhere and it's not on you, and you recognize that problem. You got to tell him, you know, this is not fun, It is not harmless. It's very harmful to you. You know that's what he thinks, but that's not it. It's hurting you, and you need to let him know. He's a grown man. He needs to be off Instagram posing, you know, and paying attention to you in his marriage. Steve, you know this letter right here. I just want to help you out, sister. With your words. I've diagnosed this entire letter. Just Stephen Sherley. I hope you can help him. Forty one, husband's forty three, been together, thirteen years married ten. Throughout our relationship that had been situations where my husband was getting attention from lots of different women and entertaining them on the side. What do you mean by entertaining them? And you know this and you been going along with it, calling it entertaining, that's what you called it. Okay, all right, lady, this was all before social media got amped up. I noticed him buying new clothes or working out more than just some woman mustn't complimented him or told him he had nice arms or something. He's always been thirsty for attention, and my mother tells him he's a big flirt. Now, let me ask you a question. How does your mama know that your husband is a big flirt? I mean, hold on, lady, If you can't keep it from your mother in law, you ain't even trying. How is your mother in law diagnosing your husband for you? Like all of a sudden, your mama bringing you some brand new news? Lady, you and denial. Within the past four years, he's doing three social media apps. He's justified by saying Facebook was to keep up with his old friends, Instagram was to get news alerts and sports news, and Twitter was keep up without former president. What okay, Facebook to keep up with old friends. Got that, that's common? But don't know, damn body get on Instagram to get news alerts and sports news. Dad ain't even who Instagram is about, right, So how you fail for that? You stupid and then he got on Twitter to keep up with our former president. What he don't have a Twitter account? Hang god, we'll have part two of you, Oh are you stupid? Coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour today's Strubberry Letters subject I married a social media thought. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening to show, Come on, Steve, Let's recap today quickly. Maybe have been married to this man for thirteen years, had trouble throughout the relationships, been in situations your husband getting attention from lots of different women and entertaining them on the side. So you want to call it entertaining them on the side. So he's had women on the side and you know about it, but you not called it cheating, You calling it entertaining them on the side. Okay, that's like this was all before social media got up, and then you knew someone was complimented by his nice arms and stuff. In me, he's always been thirsty for attention. My mother told him he's a big flirt. And my question was, how does your mama know that your husband is a big flirt? Because if you can't hide that from your mother in law, you ain't even trying, so your mother in lawst them diagnose your marriage for you, and you act like it's brand new news. Now, he didn't got on Facebook to keep up with his old friend, Instagram to get news alert and sports news, and Twitter to keep up with our former president. Like I said before, keep it up with old friends on Facebook, that's common, okay, but don't nobody go on ig for news alerts and sports that ain't. I don't know if you're familiar with. They got this thing out not called sports Center that really tells you everything you need to know. They got an app that breaks the news for you, so you believe. And then he asks a Twitter to keep up with our former president. I don't know how smart you are, but Twitter has banned Donald Trump. He don't have a Twitter account, so how you fail for this is beyond me. From the very beginning, I knew I was gonna have a problem if he was able to connect with females through these apps. He went from posing or with selfish to have taking photo shoots with me, taking pictures of him no matter where we were. I jokingly asked him to get into pictures and he always tells me next time, excuse me, Why are you joking? What's funny about this to you? And secondly, why are you the photographer? I don't understand. He got you taking pictures of him everywhere he going. You know he's gonna post him, but you taking the damn pictures you in on the crime, you're aiding and a betting you are assisting you in the car with the robbery picture with him because he didn't told you. Next time, here is a next work. My male co worker has an Instagram account and I asked him if he follows my husband's account. He said he unfollowed him because of stuff he posts. Now, I'm gonna give you two reasons he told you this because number one, he don't like men who take manhole shots. These are called man whole shots, and we ain't on Instagram looking at me and taking man whole shots. And then secondly, I got some new news for you in case you didn't know this, because you obviously don't know a lot of stuff. Your co worker like you exactly. Your co worker got feelings for you, so now he trying to drop some knowledge on you because obviously you ain't that swill. So I didn't quit following your husband calls the stuff he posted. I looked at his page, and he's got pictures of himself shirtless, flexing and mustle shirts and a whole lot of selfies. He looks like a thought that's single and ready to mingle. Keep that line in mind. I joined Instagram without him knowing, so now I'll see what he posts every day. I told him he's doing way too much on social media. He says he's What he's doing is fum fun and harmless. Is this normal for a man or not? Let me answer that question first. Hell no, it ain't normal. The only friend I got that takes his shirt off on I G is Kevin Hart. And as soon as I get his body, as soon as I get Kevin Hart's body in adult size, I'm taking mine off too. That's it. But Kevin makes money because he into fitness. So now let me take you, so let me teach you soon. Remember this about men. When he say he's just doing it for fun and this harmless, remember this about men. We don't do anything. We don't do nothing without a reason or purpose. And you provided the reason or the purpose and the letter yourself. Because he's looking like a thought that's single and ready to mingle. You said that. Now, if it's fun and harmless, then what are you doing it? Fault? See what is the purpose and the reason If you say it's for fun, I'm just listening to you. See is he doing it just to read the comments? You need to read them comments, because that's what he's doing it, Faults. I want you no, No, he knows who who's dm to slide in? See that that's you need to read these comments. If he doing it for fun and it's harmless. And remember, men don't do nothing without a reason or purpose. Every thing we do got every woman has got a man. No, I'm telling the truth. We don't do nothing for fun and harmlessness. That ain't what we do. I'm lame. Let me just play something else. Yo, Mama know why he's doing it, Cause he a big ass flirt. She certainly knows. Now he's gonna stop, or you're gonna leave and let him take a little big ass arm somewhere. El all right, we'll stop it right there. Steve. Thank you.

And the last thing I tell them is that remember, ninety percent of doctors have either gotten vaccinated or planning to. These are the people that we go and see about our health. And people that we trust, they trust and believe in this vaccine. They're getting at themselves and that's why one more reason why we can trust in it.

Yeah for asked the cello chief Love Officer Steve Harvey. All right, so here we go. This one is from Tanjula in Mississippi. Tanjula rights, I'm a thirty two year old professional woman by day and at night I'm an escort. I keep a low profile in my city and go to the neighboring city for my escort business. I've been dating a guy for almost three months and he thinks I'm a school teacher and model because I met him at a casting call for models for a music video. I need my side gig to pay off my student loans, but I know this guy won't like it. Should I be honest with him or keep the lie going? Oh? Wait a minute, what so she says she does what in a daytime? She's a professional woman, she says, she didn't say specifically, but she's an escort. Yeah at nice? So what what is the last she's trying to keep going that she's an escort, that she's an escort. Wait a minute, she's an escort to pay off her student loans. Well, wait a minute, how did he meet her? Um? It says she she met him. Um, she's been dating him. He thinks she's a school teacher. She thinks he's a school teacher at a model because she met him at a casting call for models. Oh a video. Oh okay, So he didn't call the escort service and meeting, No, sir, Oh okay, he met her at the thing, so he thinked well, junk the jeller manhole way, dude, do her name sound familiar to you? Ain't like her damn name was Denise and I missed. Well, first of all, change your damn name. Yeah, everybody gonna know who you are. Your name at the escort service, all down at the school board, Ghoula. It's very rare. So look, look, hey, look, young sister. You can't be so desperate to pay off your student loans that you will do anything. Your reputation in your life forward after this is far more important than the present. And all always understand that what you're doing, the dog today gonna come out in the light tomorrow and it may ruin an opportunity with a career move or a man. So if I were you, I would double think this escort service business. It's paying off student loans. Ain't that important? They got all types of things available because of COVID. Now with student loan, you need to go online and research some of this stuff. They got programs and help you pay off student loan. You ain't got to sell yourself to pay off no damn loan. Think about your life. Moving forward to thirty two, You're an attractive girl, so you think you should she should be honest with him. No, hey on, no, okay, your job is doing the day. You're a professional woman. That's your damn job. Do not tell this man you an escort. Okay, coming up, it is our last break of the day, and of course at forty nine minutes after we'll have some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey. Right after this. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, guys, here we are the last break of the day. It's been a good day, and you know what, I changed my mind. I do have a close Okay, very positive and uplifting one. I was thinking today during my meditation, how fortunate I felt. I was just thanking God for having survived twenty twenty. I was thinking God of all of the blessings that came my way during the COVID. And I know some people suffered some hard times during the COVID. I know you the loss of love ones is premium. I know the loss of jobs and business is closed, and I know it's been challenging for a lot of people. But there's a blessing in everything. And I want people to look at the fact that if you had what you're saying was a rough twenty twenty And as some young person told me, it was the roughish year of his life. And when he asked me, he said, mister Harvey, just gotta be the roughest year of your life too. I said, son, it ain't even in the top ten roughish years of my life. I got something to go back over. But I was also thinking of the fact that didn't something good happen to you in twenty twenty. Don't you see the blessing of twenty twenty. Don't you realize that you survived it. I realized it's been challenging. I realized that some tough things happened. I realize there's some setbacks. I realize there's some people as not here or I get it, man. And I'm not saying that's easy to deal with, cause it ain't. But I'm talking about you though. Ain't you got a moment that you can pause and say thank you for just keeping me. How about thanking God for just getting you through it, even with the loss of love, even with the loss of jobs and opportunities, even with the loss of income. I lost income last year. But man, I found the bright side of it. I discovered something, man, that being off is okay. That sometimes, man, you need to stop and smell the roses more often. Steve Harvey, I learned a lot from COVID. I paid attention to the blessings. And I've often said this a million times. Behind every moment of adversity, that is a lesson and that is a blessing. You just got to hang in at and get them. And I got him in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one is a new opportunity. The fact that you are still here is a sign from God that He ain't through with you yet. That He still has something for you. So get optimistic, get hopeful, get prayerful, get watchful, and start looking for what God saved you for. Why did you survive COVID? Why are you still here? Why did you make it past twenty twenty? You got to get watchful, y'all. God is doing some things. He's doing some things that you ain't even aware of. I'm telling you, man, God is still going to make your dream come true. Business. Don't let the devil deceive you. Don't let the devil make you think it's hopeless, that it's over. That God doesn't forgot about you, nor he ain't. No, he ain't, He ain't. Most people that get the feeling that God ain't close to him, it's because you ain't trying to get close to him yourself. God is always available. You think about it. You just think about it for a minute. If you're sitting here listening to me and you think God don't care about you, could it be because you don't care about him? Just think about it for a minute. When have you ever gone to Him and he turned his back on you. Give me the time, Give me the time. You can't think of one you know why, because You're still here in spite of the fact that you don't think him on a regular basis, in spite of the fact that you won't talk to him on a regular basis. Through his grace and mercy, he kept you anyway, and he still loves you. He still loves you in spite of how you are as a person, in spite of all the dirt we've done. And I'm talking to myself right now, in spite of all the mistakes I've made. Man, God just keep on, man, He just keep on doing stuff for me. Man. I just I just want people to understand that you don't look. Man. I read something other day that said I made some mistakes I can't change, but I changed so I won't make the same mistakes. Now who did that apply to? I'm gonna say it again for you. I made some mistakes I can't change, but I change so I won't make the same mistakes. And you know how I change. I went to God and I asked for forgiveness, and he gave it to me over and over and over and over. A kid. God is in the caring business, y'all. God is in to be right there when you ain't even Hey, Look, let me tell you something. You know why. You know why we made it through twenty twenty because God put his arms around us. The virus didn't get to you. The virus didn't take you out. God has a purpose for you. That's why you still here, because He ain't threw with you yet. God is in to make your dream come true. Business y'all start dreaming again. Stop writing your visions down, get your paper. I'll tell God what you want. Take all your request to him. Tell him what you want, tell him what you need. God is in to do it, business man. But God gives it to those who ask for it. Ask and you shall receive. That's a fact. But if you don't ask him for it, that's probably a good reason you ain't got it. If you've been trying to figure it out yourself, and you've been trying to work through this thing by yourself, could it be that you ain't got the answers you need? I'm just asking you. Could it be? Look? Man, come on now, God is available. Quit listening to these people on i G talking about God. Ain't just God. Ain't the Luminanti. I don't even know what they'd be talking about. I don't even try to find out the definition to that foolishness. Because God has showed me too many times who he is, what he do. He didn't kept every last one of his promises. I'm waiting on the rest of How about you turn to God. I bet, I bet you see him. He right there. Y'all have a great deal.
