Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know. Y'all all suit giving them like the milking bus things. And it's true good Steve listening to go together for stuy, don't joy. You gotta use that turn hur you gotta turn to turn out, turn got to turn out to turn the water to the water. Go. Come come on your baby, ah, I show will good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Yoh man. God is in the blessing business all day every day. God got hundreds of millions of blessings that he passes out every day. All I want to do is be the recipient that I'm the recipient of what He has for me. That's all I want. I just want God's favor, and I go. I want God's blessings. You know, of course I need his mercy and his grace, but I just want his blessings and his favor. I want. I want that in my life because it does things for me that I'm absolutely incapable of doing for myself. And I've been a recipient of many of those. And you can be the recipient of them too. You already are, really, really, you already are. If you're getting up every morning, that's a blessing. If you're getting one day closer to anything you're trying to accomplish, that's a blessing. But now let me talk to you about this part right here, folks, because this is the part that messages people up a great deal. What happens when you get off track? What is that? What does that mean? When you get off track? See, I've been off track. I can't tell you how many times, and it happens in so many aspects of your life. But what is it that makes getting off track so debilitating to some people? You know, there are some people who want to stay off track. They off course, they off the dream, they own to something else. And you cannot allow the fact that you've gotten off track to stop. You can't tell you something. Everybody gets off track. There are people who are living their life's dreams in spite of getting off track. See what happens when you get off track? Here's the simple thing to do. The simple thing is just to get back on track. Now, that's that's But that's easier said than done. Ain't it, Steve. Yeah. Because see, people, when you get off track, here's some of the things that happened. See you get the here come to nay sayers, some of them from the outside, some of them internally. Here's what gets said when you get off track. See, I told you, I told you. You know you. You start hearing that it's not for you. Okay, this is all just because you got off track. It's not for you. Okay, here's another one. It ain't meant to be. You can hear it all, you can say it. Well, I guess it's just not meant to be. But let me ask you a question, though, who made the rule that when you get off track you can't get back on? Who made that rule? Where has that written that once you get off track you can't get back on? See, because I'm gonna tell you something, folks, there's no such rule. As a matter of fact, it's quite the opposite. See, everybody in pursuit of a dream, a goal and aspiration or a mission, it's going to get off track. Sometimes you're going to get derailed. They are going to be days where you're not going to get it right. That are going to be days where you feel like giving up. There's going to be days when you're just gonna flat out get it wrong. That's the journey. But let me tell you, every successful person that I know, ever met, talked to, set out, and chopped it up with, have shared one thing in common. We all get off track. We all get it wrong along the way. I don't care who the person is. The president got it wrong along the way. Your pastor got it wrong along the way. Qui director guy got it wrong along the way. The principle at your school got it wrong along the way. The valor victoria of your class got it wrong along the way. The star of the team got it wrong along the way. They've all been off track. Your boss down at your job, he got it wrong along the way. Your immediate supervisor got it wrong along the way. Everybody I know that has any measure of success in every level that you call success, however you want to label it, has gotten off track. As a matter of fact, it's impossible. Listen to me, it is impossible not to get off track in pursuit of your dreams, goals, visions, aspirations. It is impossible. Don't you let nobody tell you that they got through life unscathed that they made it because they was just so determined and I would let nothing turn me back. Yeah, you might not have let nothing turn you back because you hear all but you thought about it. Oh, you thought about it on days when you was off track. But see, people don't like to tell the whole story. They just want you to think as much as you can about them. So when they tell you the story, they leave out the stuff alone the way it was just hard work and determination that got me here. No it wasn't, No, it wasn't. It was the fact that you got off track and the grace and of God allowed you to get back on. His forgiveness allowed you to get back on because you would not believe what some of the people have done. So when you get off track, don't allow the naysayers outside and the big naysayer inside, because let me tell you something, the biggest naysayer of them all comes from inside. See, it don't matter what other people say out there. It takes some time for you to learn this. And I understand because it took me some time to learn it. See, I have a lot of naysayers out there, but I ain't operating for them. Operating function for the ones that love me, for the ones that get me, for the ones that understand what I'm really trying to do. And so don't you be the one that doesn't allow yourself to get back on track when you get off track, because, like I said, who made the rule up that you can't get back on track? There's no such rule out there. Stop stopping yourself from getting it right. So what you started to diet at the beginning of the year, and you already off, start another one, start over, try it again, don't ever stop trying. If you stop trying, you can't make it. But if you never give up the effort, if you never give up and say it's over, it ain't over. You heard just saying it ain't over to the fat ladies, saying I never invite her, she's not invited. It ain't over to the fat ladies, saying I don't know where the fat ladies stay. I am not sending her an invitation to none of my events. She's not welcome here. She didn't ask me a couple of times how come I never get invited? Because you're gonna start saying it and I ain't got time for that. All right. Stop inviting the fat lady to all your events. Thank you you're listening show, Ladies and gentlemen. It is beyond me. When I wake up in the morning and I realized that I had nothing to do with the actual arrival of the day or my ability to wake myself up, all I could say is thank you man, twenty twenty two. If you'd have told me in nineteen seventy four anything about the year two thousand and twenty two, I wouldn't even have been able to put that on the radar screen. I was busy trying to figure out what I was gonna do tomorrow, let alone twenty twenty two. The thing I've learned about the future is that it has a strong possibility of getting here. So whatever you do today, understand that it will have an effect on your tomorrow. So pay close attention, young people. Stop even jest for the moment, because later on could soon become Right now, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Kill what's going on? Man? All right? Let me ask you something. I'm thinking about it, man, because I don't know how to act. I ain't got your kind of money. But what can I expect if I ever got a hold of six hundred men, how am I supposed to be act? I don't know how you're supposed to be at, and I have no idea. A matter of fact, I have no suggestions on how anybody else should at if I get my hand on six million at one time, six hundred million. First of all, know this, if you've ever offended me or said anything about me, and you find out that I have the six hundred million, you should go into hiding. You should seek out some form of of of a witness protection. You know, you know, you get put into portion of the prison protective custody. You know, you gotta look into things. You gotta look into stuff like restraining orders, things like that. Yeah, that's first. Secondly, the people that's on my radio show, ye, my dear counterparts, Okay, I don't want y'all to feel, you know, surprised. So just if you hear that I have the six hundred millions, please don't text me talking about where are you. Don't don't don't don't do that. We should already know. Don't don't do that. Don't don't add let me tell you some question. Why are you what time will you be here? Don't do that. Don't start without you? Yeah, should we start without you? How long will you beat? Don't don't do that. Don't don't. Just go on with your life. And that's what started. We continue this later on, but that's the beginning of my six hundred mine. Don't don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. All right? All right, well, thank you so far. You're here, and that's a good thing.

Trump really just never stopped, just never stops with this guy. Trump had invited reporters from across the country to his Mara Lago resort in Florida for his speech and press conference, at which he was expected to go hard at Democrats, but on Tuesday evening he backed out, saying, in light of the total bias and dishonesty of the January sixth Unselect Committee of Democrats, two failed Republicans, and the fake news media, I am canceling the January sixth press conference at Mara Lago. On Thursday, Trump went on for a long while, attacking his usual targets, including lamestream media and crazy Nancy Pelosi. His supporters still plan a candle light visul near Marlago today, Well, yeah, do that.

I'm a thirty nine year old woman dating a forty five year old man. We met a year ago and things started off fantastic and moved quickly. He is a very sensitive and emotional man who has no difficulty expressing his every emotion to me. After dating men that play games and aren't serious about settling down with one woman, my boyfriend's openness was refreshing, but now it's proving to be way too much. He has started to complain about me being too busy for him since I'm back at work full time. Now. I got home and need a few minutes to chill and relax, but he's in my driveway every day this week when I get home. He wants to be right up under me every week, right every week night, and keeps telling me that he's afraid we're growing apart. He told me that he loved me he loved when we were quarantined together because we were inseparable. I liked it too, because we were getting to know each other. Then he started bringing his work clothes to my house and says it's too cold to go home every night and he'd rather cuddle with me. This man loves to cuddle, wine and make love to me whenever we're together. I told him he's smothering me with his actions and smothering me in the bed nightly. I have to roll him off of me. He says he can't sleep unless he's touching some part of my body. Recently, I had a conversation about taking a break or dialing it back a little bit because he couldn't process. But he couldn't process a conversation without crying and telling me that he can't live without me. I love this type of attention and all of the affection, but I'm afraid of falling too deeply for him because he may have emotional issues. How do I handle this relationship emotional issues? I don't know. Something might be a little off here. I mean, I'm sure get off of me has probably crossed your mind, and you've said it a few times, because you know while you're with him, because all the stuff here says you say he's doing it is a little smothering and suffocating if he's in the driveway when you get home and all of that. But you also say that you moved quickly. Now, these are the type of red flags that slip by when you move too quickly. And I think there's definitely something going on with him because he is too much and he has too much time on his hands. Why is he sitting in your driveway before you can even get home from work? Where does he work? I mean? And why is he crying and whining when you tell him that you need to dial it back and take a break. These are the things that attracted you to him before you've been dating for a year, which is a good amount of time. But I think there is something a little off saying he can't live without you. He's not being able to sleep without touching any part of your body and making your body go numb. And this we're not talking numb in a good way from your perspective. And I will say this, Yes women do like to cuddle. Yes, we do love the affections and attention of a man, and all of that we like to bask in all of that glow. But it does sound like he's being a bit too needy and overbearing. So I just say it's time to reassess your relationship and maybe set some new boundaries. Steve, I'm about to do the letter now. I want to forewarn all sensitive or caring people. My response is not for you. I would like to put a disclaimer on my response. Again, if you are a sensitive or caring person, my response, you're not ain't to like. Let's go okay then, Stephen Sherley, I'm a thirty nine year old woman. I'm dating a forty five year old man. We met a year ago and things started off fantastic and moved quickly. He is a very sensitive and emotional man. Now let's stop right here. He is a very sensitive and emotional man. Ladies, listen to me. That in a man is a dangerous combination. The combination is dangerous. Now, you can be one or the other, but you can't be both. You can be a sensitive man or you can be an emotional man, but you can't be both because now you are invading on a woman's right to be either. Because if you both of them, all the damn time, When does she get to be either one of those? If you have a man that's emotional and sensitive, that's a dangerous combination. And the letter will start telling it immediately. Who has no difficulty expressing every emotion to me? Who do that? And after dating me in the play games? It ain't serious about settling down with one woman. My boyfriend's openness was refreshing, ya. I bet it was at first, but soon as she say that in the letter, but now it's proving to be way too much. Why because surely it's a dangerous combination. You can't have a man that's sensitive and emotional. It's too much, because even a woman don't want that in a man. Oh he's so sensitive. Oh he's emotional. Vote he about to drive my ass crazy. You'll see we come back. I got it from all right. Coming up, we'll have part two of Steve's response to twenty three minutes after the hour Strawberry Letters. Subject for today's smother lover will get back into it right after this. You're listening to show, all right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's Strawberry letter the subject's mother lover. All right, this thirty nine year old woman is dating a man who's forty five. He's very sensitive and emotional. Now, I said on the break before, that's a dangerous combination. Ladies, a man can be one or the other, but he cannot be both. Surely asked me why. I said, because it invades on a woman's space to be either. Because a woman, Kate, when does she get to be emotional or sensitive if your man is already that all the time. She said that her openness, He said, her openness was refreshing at first, but now it's gotten to beat the way too much. See, So now let's get into the letter. He started tould complain about being meat, being too busy for him out back work full time. I get home and I need a few minutes to chill and relax. But he's been in my driveway every day this week when I get home. Oh lord, he in the driveway. I'm talking, as soon as you get home. You can't chill, you can't have your own thoughts, you want to decompress. You've been at work. So now he's stalking, and he sprung. He wants to be right up under me every night and keeps telling me he's afraid we're growing apart. That's another word. When your man tells you he's afraid, what woman wants a scary ass man. I'm afraid he told me he loved me when we were quarantine together because we were inseparable. Well, everybody was quarantine. Quarantine was very revealing though. You either found out you hated a person or you really enjoyed the person. But then there's also a middle ground. A lot of people said, well, be nice to get back to work, so we can just separate from each other at least grow to miss each other. But I still love him and like him. I just don't like him as much all the time. You don't got tired of his ass. He didn't started bringing work clothes in your house because he says too cold to go home every night. And he rather cuddled with me. This is another dangerous statement. You got a man that loves to cuddle. Now, ladies, I know you think cuddling is cute, but not all the time. And watch why watch this man loves to cuddle, whine and make love to me whenever we together. This is another scary ass combination. He liked to cuddle, wine and make love. What kind that's making this this okay, so let me try to work through this here, because I ain't never done that, so it's gonna take me a minute. He likes to cuddle, wine and make love. All right, here we go, all right, now we we now we love it. We're in the actual act of loving and in that act you hear it this? Now you you want him to handle his business. But what is your ass crying fault? What is the wine? Now? We through making love and we through wineing. Now he coloring, But now you gotta come down off that crime. Right so now you're coloring, then you hit this head. Okay, what is happening week? Okay, well I'm coming down off the whineing. I'm breathing home because I was We was loving because I'm sensitive and emotional. Do y'all see what I'm going with this? Hire love? Yes? And then he literally lays on half your body until your limbs fall asleep and you got to roll him off of you. He say he can't sleep unless he touches some part of my body. Oh so now we talk about this. Where therapist come in that? Now? Seeing it ain't no therapist. But I'm a judge now, so let me just tell you what iut and figured out this here letter. See, he used to either suck his he had a blanket or a teddy bell. He had all this and that got burned up in his mama's house fire back in ninety four. All that got burned up, the blanket, the teddy bell, and the pacified all they got burned up in the house fire. So now he didn't met you. Now you it you the teddy bell, the blanket, and the Pacify. See, and now you told him y'all had a conversation about dialing it back a little bit, and he couldn't process the conversation. So get what he did while you started telling, he started crying because he emotional insensitive. And then he told you he can't live without you. Well, let's see see once you tell me what you can't do, prove it, because you're finding live without me. Now. I love this thing now here where the woman gets conflict. I love this type of attention and all the affection. But I'm afraid of falling too deeply for him because he may have emotional issue, may have girl may have emotional issues. Your ass is Dayton and Tony o'brown got the wonder his ass have emotional issues. You're dating and Tony o'brown without the ball pads.

Coming up our last break of the day at forty nine minutes after the hour, We're good. Some inspiring closing remarks from the one and only, our fearless leader, Steve Harvey. Right after this, you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, guys, here we are our last break of the day. It's been a good day, a crazy day, a fun day, man, girl off the chain. We've had fun today. Yeah, it's is Thursday. The year doesn't go quite as fast. Yeah fast week. Today's Thursday to day Thursday. Yes it is, sir, Yes, sir. It just means we just work tomorrow on the weekend weekend to see it the birthday. Boy, you getting ready getting man? That's at this god willing man. I just want to stay here, amen, man making sixty five sixty five Man, that's I I didn't see it, man, I just really really didn't. I was I felt like I was so far from it. And it's still not here, and I'm gonna need some grace to get there because I'm really really shooting for one hundred and four soul. I should have a few more after this forty forty m I don't know. God told me. Okay, I don't know. God put that on my heart. Man, I just said one hundred and four all it claim it, yeah about I'm gonna do everything in my power now if he makes another decision along the way. Didn't not not can do about it. But I'm gonna do food wise and health wise, you know which, which kind of leads to my closing remarks because I want to share this through you all. We didn't do it yesterday. I learned a new way to pray, and I haven't all I've been I've been doing it, but I actually attached a number to it, which really helped me. Like I was always learned that you should be thankful first before you ask God for something. But I was watching something and a guy put a number to it. He said, when you pray, you should pray eighty twenty. And that's kind of like how I eat. I eat eighty twenty. That's to to preserve my life, to give me a healthier lifestyle. Well, if you had a healthier faith life, if you had a healthier prayer life, that would be more beneficial than anything. So he put a number eighty twenty to it. And what he said was, when you pray, you should spend eighty percent of your prayer showing gratitude, being grateful, you know, thank you and Him for things. And then the other twenty percent you present of the things that you want and desire and would like to have and need. And I found that to be interesting, and I said, Wow, I normally say thank you before I pray, but I really don't put enough time and emphasis on the thank you part. And I started praying different after the holidays, right after Christmas, and I started doing it eighty twenty. And what I did to help me show more gratitude and to be thankful, I actually pulled out a piece of blank piece of paper, printing paper, and I just wrote down everything that I should be grateful for. And you know, it's kind of broad sweeping, but then I try to be a little specific to you know, like I thanked him for my health and waking me up in the mornings, and I didn't thank him for each and every breath I take in, every second of the day. But I went down to people in my life that I was grateful for. I was thanking him for the things he's done for me over the past year, deals and contracts and relationships and health and all of this stuff. And I went down list end up coming up with about probably fifty sixty fifty things that I was thankful for. I really have so much more, but I was just doing broad strokes, maybe forty something like that. And when I pray at my desk in the morning, when I'm doing my morning meditation, I actually pull the paper out so I don't forget anything. And every day that I pull it out, I end up going, oh, wow, this too, and I write a little something else. And then after that, I asked God for the things that I want. But I've learned in asking God for the things I want to also make sure that I'm in line with God's will and his timing, because that really helps me. Man, Because if I'm asking for something, but I'm also saying I also wanted to be in your will and in your timing, it relaxes me and causes me to be less anxious, and it helps me man in waiting and being patient on the things that I'm asking for. But it also fills me with such gratitude because of all the stuff I think him for. The focus is no longer on what I need, but the focus becomes a man of all the goodness he's presented to me. So somebody surely sent me this and it said that thankfulness keeps you linked to me. He's talking about God. Now, thankfulness keeps you linked to me and anchored in the present. Wary, on the other hand, pulls you into the feud where you wonder, into buring places of uncertainty because you don't know what the future holds. So now you're worrying about something you don't even know what can be. However, you can always return to me by whispering, Lord help me man. That's powerful. Y'all listen to me. Worrying about tomorrow does nothing because when he gets he is usually not what you thought it was gonna be anyway, and nor could you do anything about it. And in your mind is not geared to worry about the future. It's the present. Get thankful and get grateful for what you have, and it'll cause you to realize that you are so blessed in so many ways, and whatever else he gives you, it's just icing on the cake. Those are my closing remarks. Hope that helps you this year. It's a new way to pray in twenty twenty two. See y'all tomorrow. God Will for all.
