Y'all know what time of y'all don't know, y'all back a suit on the back down, giving them more like the milking buck bus things in its tubbles. Good it, Steve har listen to movie together for Studley. I don't join ya, join me in doing me. Honey. You gotta turn, you gotta turn, turn, turn, You got to turn them out, then turn the water the water go. Come come on your back. Uh huh, I shall will. Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey Man got a radio show. Wow man, how good has God been to me? You know? Today? Let me get right to it because I'm I'm kind of feeling this today, and I'm pretty sure that's just quite a few of you who go through the same things today. Today was just a little tough morning for me because I didn't want to leave home yesterday. You know, I want to stay home a little. I just gotten home, you know, I gotta go again. And sometimes, you know, just the weight of all that you have to do just gets on you sometimes and sometimes you don't feel like doing it today. Huh. You know, I'm just talking to those who feel this way every now and then, And I'm assuming that would be everybody, because I don't know nobody who can just ply through this thing without having those days. Well, what do you do when it gets hard to stay up? What do you do when it gets hard to be positive? What do you do when it seems like things aren't happening for you fast enough or in the time frame that you thought it was going. What do you do? And the reason that I guess I chose to speak about this this morning is because I'm having one of those days. Because I had one of those days yesterday. It's just a tough day. I really can't explain. It's nothing really in particular bad happened. It's just I think the weight of all that's going on started to feel heavy to me. And so what do you do when when you have days like that, when it's hard to be positive, when it's hard to stay up? Okay, here's what I had to start doing this morning. Now I haven't completed it. Can I just be real with you? Haven't completed it, but I am processing it out because I know what to do. You know, been there, done that, I didn't had that pain before. I know what to do you know if I sprain my finger, I know what to do? Now? You know the first spring I had a lord, I thought it was broke. I thought I got me handac half. But now if I spray my finger, I know what to do. So since I've been in this position, in this hole so many times before and God has always gotten me through it, I decided I've got to start the process today. Want to hear are some things Now I'm gonna get to the big one last. And one of the things I do is I remember the plan, sit down, and I consciously think about the goals I've set. I go over them. See, I've gotten mine down on an iPad so I can pull them out anywhere I am and pull them up. And I've got two lists that I've made. I've got a list of things that I know I can accomplish if I just keep working hard, and if some couple of things just fall into place that I can see. Then I got a list of things that I'm planning on accomplishing. And then I have a second list. And the heading of this list is called only God can help me now. And on this list it's things that I'm aspiring for or things that I'm hoping to that in order for them to happen, I absolutely have to have God's help. That's my favorite list. It's the list that I have of the things that I don't see no way it can happen. I'm just operating on faith and the hope that God hear me, and so sometimes, man, when you gotta when I have this list of who only God can help me, now, that list is stuff that I cannot see. I'm just operating on faith that God is so much bigger than me, that he's so much more capable than I am, that I can actually acquire some things in my life, as He's proven to me time and time again up to this point, that He's willing to do for me if I'm willing to just give him some of my life. That's the only why I can't explain my existence today. You know, I began the conversation with my wife, how do I write a book that becomes so wildly successful? That would be God? That's only God. Because if you can plan to sit down and write a wildly successful book, I'd have Benden sat down and did it, and so would you, So that would be God. How it got purchased to become a movie when that was not my intent when I wrote the book at all. Again, that would be God, right, there has to be, because if I can't explain it and it is by no doing of my own, then who did it? So when I get down in days like this, I remember the goal. I remember the plan. I remember the journey. I think about of all the things God has bought me to how did I even get to this point. Yeah? I might be having a little bummer of a day. Yeah I was a little down yesterday. Yeah, my bio rhythms is off, whatever they want to call it. Yeah, I'm just having one of those days. I feel a little bit heavy. I need a vacation real bad. I need some time off to just go and regenerate. But right now, man, I ain't got that. So guess what I do. I gotta start remembering the plan. I gotta start remembering the goals. I gotta start thinking about all the things that God has done for me and how He has bought me this far and the blessings that I have instead of what I don't have. And that's what I'm in the process of doing this morning, and on the commercial breaks, I'm gonna pull out my iPad and I'm gonna go over my two lists, and I'm gonna read my little list of what I think I can accomplish, and I'm gonna really read that only God can help Me now list, because that's the list that's big. That's the part where I've been telling y'all. I said, quit telling God how big your problems are, and start telling your problems how big your God is. See. And that's why I got to sit down and do this morning. And then sometimes, man, you got to stay still. That's the other part. You got to stay still. You gotta quit moving for a second, because sometimes it feel like you're running on a treadmill and you really ain't you going somewhere, but it feel like you're running on a treadmill. Well, when you get that feeling, sometimes you gotta stay still. And then when you stay still, sometimes you gotta fight to stay positive. Sometimes you gotta fight not to let the devil win. You're in a fight, mam. I told you this. Now you're in a fight now, So trying to get you to get on that positive train so he can get you off the faith train. So God's delivery package that's coming to you built on your faith that you can. He can shake your faith and get you to thinking negative and then he wins. See. So when you start feeling negative, just know that that's the other force trying to throw you off track. And when you get through it all that he is the key, the big When you want me tell it, you got to pray, man, You got to pray. You gotta take it to God. You gotta say, hey, God, look I'm having one of these days. I need your help. I got business to take care of. You got blessings in front of me. You got stuff you to ship to me. You got blessings and packages that's on the way. I need to be sitting on Faith streets so I can receive the delivery when you get there. What I don't want to do is be it on be on doubted Way or or lack of Understanding Parkway, or Pity Parkway or some street like that, and the package keep going by. I need to be standing and sitting on Faith Street so when you drop that package down to me, I can go on and get it. You feel me. You got to pray. You got to stay still, you gotta fight to stay positive. You gotta remember the plan. You gotta go over the goals. Come on, man, God and brought you too far, Come on, pick yourself up. Today. I'm talking to Steve Harvey this morning. Hope y'all didn't mind you're listening. Ladies and gentlemen, we are here. The Steve Harvey Morning Show is alive and well on this blessed morning.

All right, so let's talk about cheating. It's time for something funny. The age old question. Why do we cheat? We? I said we because the new report reveals that women who cheat are lonely, virile, and most of them don't work like strong, you know, like strong, um uh yeah, no, no, no, not just capable, yeah, just just strong. And you know, why wouldn't they have said that? Yeah? Body build I would have, yes, yes, yeah, yeah, good, strong, capable, they can get the job done. And most of them don't work. They're stay at home like homemakers or house ah okay, but the women that cheat, that's for women. Ain't my wife at home. She's to stay at home mom, right, she get moving all right. So that's what we're saying about women. Now, men who cheat are tall? What what the study shows the cheat? They're smart huh, and they have good jobs with money and they're or they're rich anmus because you're short, you're stupid. Well he's broke. Well he ain't broke, but his cause they say they have good jobs. You have a good job with money, or you're rich. All right. The study also finds that men who cheat because of lust, arrogance, and their ego. Oh now that's true. That's true. They they're either lustful, they're arrogant, or their ego, while women do it because they start feeling the elected by their partner. Okay, yeah, that's so good. Yeah, yeah, all right.

Is that are there some people are gonna be upset that I joined. I mean it's that okay, Well, you know, I don't know about anybody being upset, man, It's just I know my brother that that's what he was a part of. And you know, you you walking around with with his heart, man, it would just feel different, feel great, you know, to have to feel like he would be back in there doing what he was doing and fighting for for us, just for the black community. Now you are Democratic a Republican? Well, you know, I mean honestly that I was Republican until Trump, and now I'm just really I'm kind of on the science. I mean, that guy's an idiot. You did vote for Trump. I did not, But I am a Republican, Okay. So and the reason why, you know, because I'm just curious man about it. What I what I would hate to see is you know when twenty twenty come around, you know, you you over there in the voting booth, you know, with my brother black Heart and you and there, you know, voting Republican. Uh, you know, and and that's something that I know my brother wouldn't be doing, you know what I'm saying. So I'm just I'm just asking, well, I mean, I'm not happy with Trump, but if someone else in the Republican party runs and I agree with them, I'm it's kind of like it's my heart. Now I can't change my point of view just because of that. I mean, yeah, but but but but what you're not gonna do, though, man, is be in there with my brother black heart, and you up in there making some decisions that I know my brother wouldn't do. You see what I'm saying. That's a long way off, man, But I can't promise you that. I mean, if somebody runs that I like, I mean, I'm gonna vote the way I feel my heart and my head tell me about hold one, don't don't say what my heart because that ain't your heart. You know, I'm saying my brother hard So you got every right to ask me what you think my brother would see in his heart? And I tell you you understand what I'm saying. I don't ask the way I see. Man, Let me ask something. Have you have you been like craving different kinds of foods that you don't know need?

You want to do it from your heart? You then you do it from my brother's heart. When you first call me about your brother, I was excited. Now I'm saying, how much did the hospital give you just this number? And you get to call me up? That's privilege information. You shouldn't get to just call me and asking all these random questions.

If you need advice on relationships, on dating, on work, on sex, on parenting, and more, please submit your Strawberry letter to Steve Harvey FM dot com and click submit Strawberry Letter. All right, all right, let's get it. Buckle up, hold on tight. We got it for you. Here it is Strawberry Letter. Subject you ever heard of an old fool? Dear Stephen Shirley, do you think that dating rules for seen years are different than those for younger people. I need to know because I'm trying to find love again and I'm over sixty. I'd like to think that a man in age sixty five to seventy would think and act differently than he did when he was twenty five to thirty years old. But that's not the case. When I meet men my age, they are still interested in the cookie, and I need to know if I should still be using the ninety day rule at my age. Then there are other men, the other men that I meet and they voluntarily tell me that the cookie is a non issue for them. Now, I'm still a bit frisky, so I don't date men that I don't date a man that doesn't want the cookie anymore. Okay, Steve, I wish you would talk more about this subject because I have a lot of single friends that are on the dating scene. Again. My big problem is I recently met a seventy year old man that I adore, and he always tells me that I'm very attractive and youthful for my age. He's smart, funny, and nerdy, and I love spending time with him. I thought he was into me too, but I keep getting mixed signals from him. He says he wants to be in a relationship, but his actions don't match his words. I'm not willing to wait forever for him to commit to me. Excuse me. I was shocked to find out that men don't change as they get older. Or am I wrong and I just picked a bad one. He'd be a fool to lose me. Can you please give me some tips on how to keep the magic going with this man so he won't lose interest. I need some help with my love life. I have to apologize for my voice for these three days. I'm struggling. Excuse me? All right, Yeah, I know, Tennessee, Texas, Tokyo. I know that's inside. All right, here we go, you know, don't start, Steve, don't start, Oh, I know, all right, here we go. You know. Um, I was gonna say this to Steve. A lot of people, especially women, ask me to ask you to hook them up. They ask me this all the time when we have events and stuff and we go out there always ask me, Sureley, why doesn't Steve have a segment where older women are older guys, you know, we can hook up. So I'm really not surprised that this letter got through because there is you know, I've seen in firsthand. There is a void, I guess. And in this age group, I say, maybe some things change, but not all the things. The dating rules I'm talking about form for seniors than young people. I think older people know more of what they want. They know, they're more comfortable and confident with who they are, so they can weed out the bad people quicker, and they can get involved quicker So when you say you need to know because you're trying to find love again at age sixty, I think in this case, you know, maybe not the nine d day rule, but rules definitely do apply, and a ninety day rule can apply to because it still applies in other things in life. You know. That's what Steve based it on. The three month probation period, so you don't have to just jump into bed just because you're older. You know, take your time to get to know the individual you're you're with someone who's um seventy years old now, and you say you adore this man, and he's always telling you he's attractive, he's smart and funny and everything. What are these mixed signals you're getting from him? You didn't elaborate on that. He says he says he wants to be in a relationship, but his actions don't match his words. So if he wants to be in a relationship, why aren't you guys in a relationship? Why why aren't you in a relationship if that's what you want. You said you were you were shocked to find out that men don't change as they get older. Did you mean that you're trying to change him? And he won't change because we all know and you're old enough to know that we can't change any one. So did you just pick a bad one? No, he may not be a bad pick, but you didn't give us enough information to find out what's going on here, you know, except that he's giving you mixed signals. He'd be a fool to lose you. So that means, in your opinion, you're a good catch. I think maybe you should hang in there, get to know this guy a little better, and you never know where this relationship can go. Steve, anytime, y'a all ready for me to just get to the bottom line, stop me in this letter, okay and ask you that. Yeah, just Steve, can you get to the bottom to the bottom line. Oh, here's this woman who's sixty and would like to think that a man aged between sixty five and seventy would act differently than he does when he's twenty five to thirty years old. But that's not the case. So the question in the letter is the lady asked me, is do I have to adhere to the ninety day rule at my age? Well, if you don't it here, why would you adhere to the rule? Simply because you're older doesn't mean you shouldn't apply the rules. Because of these men that you keep meeting and acting like twenty five thirty years old, you got to treat him that way, and you gotta protect yourself that way. This is a real simple letter. Anybody ready? Yeah, Steve, get to the bottom line, baby, get to the bottom line. He is right here. The lady says, I recently met a seventy year old man that I doore. He always tells me, and I'm very attractive and you full looking for my age. He's smart, funny, and nerdy. I love spending time with him. I thought he was into me too, but I keep getting mixed signals from him. He says he wants to be in a relationship, but his actions don't match his words. You're ready for it, ready, I'm not willing to wait forever for him to commit to me. He's seventy. Come on with the stick. You ain't willing to wait how long he got That's what you need to know. Hang on, we'll recap and get back to part two of your response, coming up at twenty three after the hour, right after this subject today, You ever heard of an old fool you're listening to all right, Steve, Come on, let's recap today's Strawberry letter.

He says he wants to be in a relationship, but his actions don't match his one. I'm not willing to wait forever for him to commit to me. You ain't gonna have to quhen you say, seventy forever is not alone once you seventy forever couldn't mean any day now. Forever could mean twenty years. It can mean thirty years, but that ain't forever though. That'll be here a little while. I don't know if you've noticed it, but as you get older, the years go by so much fast.

Yeah, they're always inspirational. You always motivate us to do something. Really, I was just now I don't want to sound you know, but anyway, what I was just asking God, what what could I do more? What what could I do? And it was just put on my heart to share more, you know, start take some moment out at the beginning and the clothes of the show and just try to encourage more people. You know, I've loved learned so much over the years. You know, I've had a tough goal of it as many of you have. Mine. Ain't my story animal richer or deeper than nobody else's. So I just try to share the information that I've actually learned, because I've learned a lot. And one of the things that I've learned is about when to start. You know, whenever you come up with an idea or a thought or move you want to make, or something comes from your imagination, the thing that I find that stops people oftentimes is when do I start. Now, here's the thing with starting. What people do is they delay the start by overthinking it. And if you overthink something, guess what will eventually and you overexplain it to other people. Eventually the how it won't work is going to come up. So you have this fabulous idea that you've thought of, right, and then you shared with some people and he said, man, I'm gonna go do this, and you start talking it over and you start thinking it through and you share it with more people. The more people you shared with, and the more people and the more you think it through, you know what, you keep coming up with the mishaps, the things that can go wrong, and you end up delaying the start. The other thing that happens is people try to line all they ducks up in a row before they start so they can just go on and start knocking them down. That's a mistake because that almost never ever happens. I have yet to see any deal I've ever done, any project i've started, go just the way I thought it was gonna go. I have never seen that. I have yet to close a deal that just with smoothly, no wrinkles, no bumps, no nothing. I've never seen that. So when you're waiting to start and then the naysayers hit and you're waiting to start to get your ducks lined up in the row, you're delaying the process. You know when the best time to start is right now, because right now alleviates procrastination. If you wait on the ducks to get lined up in the role and you're listening to the naysayers, procrastination has already set in and taken place, and oftentimes it takes hold. So what I found is when I come up with the idea, I start the process. Now I start the process. Now, look, man, you can easily do that. It's simple things. What stops people is you try to figure out all the way through. You have this goal that you got and you say, okay, I'm gonna do this. Then if I do that, then if I do that, and then you get stuck because you go, well what happens after that? Because you've never been in that area before, you've never gone down that road, so the unknown strikes you. And then because you can't figure out what you do when you get to the unknown, you stop. So now you couldn't line up all your ducks in the road, so the process to success is delayed. Again, stop doing that to yourself. In twenty eighteen, y'all start now do it now. What you have to do next will be shown to you. It'll your first step will lead you to the stat second step. Now, sometimes on your journey you make a bad turn. You gotta make it. You turn and come back and cross over the other bridge instead of going that way. But until you take one step, you'll never know where the next turn is. If it's a fark in the road, if it's a you turn, if it's a been, if it's a valley, if it's a mountain, You got to start today. Stop delaying at everybody. Whatever it is you want to do, start today. You may be surprised that you can actually get yourself further than you thought you could with nobody else's help. Now, in order to be successful, you're gonna need somebody's help. But to start, oftentimes you just need yourself. Start the process. God will show you the way. He really will. He always has. I say this often to people, God will get you through. For everybody's listening right now, name one thing that God hasn't gotten you through. And if He hasn't gotten you through it, he's currently pulling you through it right now. And you know how I know because you're listening to the radio. How you listening to the radio. It's because he's pulling you through something right now. He's gotten you through all the other stuff, but he's pulling you through right now. If you start the process, God will pull you through. But you'll never know until you start. Make twenty eighteen the year starting something great in your life. Start start something great. Don't participate in no mess this year. Stay out of mess. You know what mess is. Mess looks like it ain't right, it don't feel good, it don't sound good. It's mess. Stay out of mess this year. Remove yourself from messy situations so you can move in the right direction. Start this year, man, make it happen. Okay, start today. That's the best time. Thank y'all for listening. I hope that helps you. Thank you. Right, yeah, all right, take us home.
