Steve Hartley, I don't join jo. You gotta use that turn. You gotta turn to turn them out. Got to turn them out to turn the water the water. Y'all come, come on your back. Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody. You are listening to the voice, Come on now, dig me want and only Steve Harvey, God, what radio show man? What you're doing with it? Trying to do the very very best I can with it? I really am. You know, I get tired sometimes on my journey. I'm not gonna kid you. UM. Trying to make something about yourself is a task. UM. If you want to attempt to do something and and and understand going in that that the if the thing you're trying to do is to improve yourself, to better your position, to better your relationship, your family, anything, you're trying to be a better you. You're trying to make more money, you're trying to get it together, you're trying to change if any of those things are in your hopes and dreams. Know this right here, you are about to face some challenges. But you might as well go ahead anyway and face those challenges, because if you don't, you have a whole other set of challenges to face. You know, it's a it's a it's an amazing thing. Man. How people sit around and they watch other people strike out to become successful. They sit in the stands watching these people play out these games, and they and they, and they criticize, They boo, they laugh at their efforts and everything, and they talk about the fairies. He missed that game when it shot. Boy, he sucked. Man, he did this. He ain't worth that. I hear people who sit in stands who criticize people who are out there on the playing field. Now, when you're on the playing field, you have a set of challenges in front of you. You're going to be open to criticism. You're going to be open to ridicule. You're going to be talked about when you don't know the people who are talking about you. Now here's the upside to being the player on the field that's facing all the challenges, to criticisms, the laughing, the joke, to being talked about he has something going for him. This person, boy, woman, child, girl, man has an opportunity to win. They have an opportunity to win. And then the game of life. Just because you lose one of the games, or you lose one of the matches, it don't mean you've lost. You don't get put out. You keep playing. And when you're playing, here's the upside. You have the opportunity to win. And but guess what, You're gonna win some of the matches. You're gonna win some of the points. You're gonna make some of the dunks. You're gonna hit some of them over the wall. You're gonna hit some of them out the park. You're gonna score some goals. You will if you're playing the game. Here's the problem with the people who don't face criticism, who nobody boos or cheers for, who sits in the stands and knows neither victory nor defeat. Those people, without realizing it, are facing a set of challenges also. And the challenges they're facing is how I'm gonna live with myself, What I'm gonna do? Now? What direction am I going in? Where am I gonna live? Wonder what job will hire me? Wonder if I can get paid for criticizing all woe is me. I can't find the purpose in my life. And man, I'm just waking up in a state of confusion. I don't know what to do. Now, let me ask you something which one of them said, of challenges you rather be faced with. Because if I'm on the flow playing, if I'm on the field playing, if I'm out on the court playing, then guess what I got a chance at winning? But guess what I'm doing every day while I'm playing. I'm strategizing. I'm waking up with a purpose. I'm waking up trying to come up with another angle. I'm in pursuit of a goal every single day. Versus the people in the stands who know neither victory nor defeat. Get in the game. Face the challenges. Better yourself, better your wife, better your children, better your condition, better your employment status, better your job, better your career. Take a shot. Come on, man, what you're waiting on? Because the alternative is to watch other people play the game? You know what I just do? Sometimes Sometimes I just I get Forbes magazine or Money magazine, or sometimes I still grab a copy of rob Report. I just flipped through it just to see get I used to get these this book called Unique Homes. Unique Homes is a magazine that just has a lot of extravagant houses that's on sale across the country, across the world. I used to just flip through. Man, let me just see, man, what the people that's playing the game out there doing. Stop watching other people become successful when you could very easily be you if you make the decision. But when you make the decision to become successful, get ready for a series of challenges. I think it's more difficult not to accept the challenge. I think it's for me. This is just for me. It may not be the case for you. For me, I think it's far more difficult to wake up and just see how life gonna go today, because man, it could just deal you any kind of hand today. You understand, I don't like, you know, spades. Let's talk a card game, folks, the game of spades. Really, man, it ain't a whole lot you can do if you don't get no spades. Really, it's a little couple of little strategies you're gonna do. But you can have all this age King Queen Diamond, all you want. But man, you ain't got no spades. They're cutting them. You're in trouble. Be it whist different game. You can create what's in your hand. You got dealt a hand too, But you can create a hand. You can call a trump. You can make diamonds your spades. You can make it hard to clubs your spades. That's what I'm saying. That's what it is. You can do something with it. It's a different game, man. You can strategize. I would rather have a say so in my life than to wake up every day and just see how it's going. I think it's more difficult to not accept the challenge to be something than it is to accept the challenge to be something. I think it's more difficult to sit around and not be nothing. I think it's harder to watch everybody's life going somewhere but mine. I think it would be very difficult for me to sit here and hear them talking about other people and never mention my name. I would be difficult for me to see everybody rise and getting promotions accept me. That would be difficult for me. It may not be for you, but for me it would be quite challenging. I would rather accept the challenge of making something out of my life than to sit there and criticize those and then watch and see how my life just may go. Okay, just a thought today you're listening one two, one two three. Somebody said that was dancing in the streets. Somebody told me, what what boy? Wow? Did you get that from?

All right, we gotta get out of here. Coming up at the top of the hour. We'll have some trending news headlines right after this. You're listening to public enemies. Chuck D is clarifying his comments about R. Kelly after they sparked controversy online. After it was announced that Kelly was found guilty on all counts, Chuck D took to Twitter to share his thoughts. Abused in youth and addict as an adult, Ike Turner served eighteen months in prison. Rick James did similar time. Ike came out a changed, positive human being. How long should R. Kelly spend in prison? And does a USA system give a man a chance to change his world around well. Reactions to his take on the verdict were met with backlash, and he took to Twitter once again to set the record straight. Just to be clear, I'm not the R. Kelly fan here, adding that his actions were criminal. Now the tweet continues, My apologies if the wings of perception loomed beyond the words on this slave app Okay, he got deep there at the end. I don't mean, but you get the gist check D. Justice for the victims period. I can't. I can't go with none of that. I mean, look, oh yeah, defend our black women as he I Turner did. How much time he said? He said, eighteen months in prison and rightfully so for abusing Tina Turner his wife. Yeah, he's his wife. And that's when you physically abuse a person, you got to do some time. We talk about kids here, yes, we talked about kids and sexual start, sexual trafficking, racketeering. But but listen to me. I understand, I understand what Chuck D was trying to say, but that ain't high I got took. Yeah, but it came off like he was defending our colley. That's everybody got out of there. I'm not fit to be confused about that. That's when yeah, everything, But you know, look he what Chuck D said when he said, when does a man get a light to the chance to write his life? He had the chance when he was first acquitted, and he walked out that court room with that big giant cigar. God had given you a chance right there, dog to go to go either get yourself from help straighten your life up. Man or star dating grown women of their own will. But you could and you went worst off. You wouldn't got some more kids. No, man, hold up, that's it. That's the problem I got. And it's a tragedy talking as straight b as and you know, man, look it's a tragedy on all levels. These victims, first of all, and you have no idea to damage that's done to them, and there's no way to measure it. It's also a tragedy that a man didn't take the want in shot and do something with the want in shot. Brother, You ask most people, they will tell you. You know, man, I did this before, and I should have stopped. I did that, I shouldn't have did that other one. And if I don't, only just went on the mouse. Most people get a warning shot. Man got a big shot. Most people get a one thought. When he kept getting arrested for all them abuse calls them them was OJ's warning shots? That woman called the police nine one one? How many times went down there with bruises on herself? How many times pictures I heard? Yeah, bro, that ain't you you? You go away with it now? Finally here you go? Yeah, okay, man, Some of those people think they're invincible, they're untouchable. You know, they use their celebrity all of that. But anyway, up, Chuck D. If somebody related to Chuck D, he would be thinking differently and speaking different that's a good time. Yeah, point, that's right, that's right, that's a point. That's very well. I think he cleared it up, Chuck D. I think he put it up, and I understand why he was trying to say. But like he didn't come out and tried to say the wings of perception. Yeah, he tried to get zeep at the end. My apologies if the wings of perception loomed beyond the words on this slave app. I don't know what the slave on there though. You don't you don't use loom that all. You can't call it a slave. Yeah, but you're on it, right, you're on the slave app right with the first message. What did you say, Tommy, He don't use loom. He trust a regular word. But that's the word he yelled out for give me a big word, loom. All right, We're gonna try to move forward, crazy people. Because in other trending news, YouTube has announced they announced this yesterday that it will block all anti vaccine content, taking their ban on false information about COVID vaccines and expanding it to include content that includes misinformation about other approved vaccines. The move comes as tech companies like YouTube and Facebook are being criticized for not doing enough to stop the spread of false health information on their site. That's here you go, Yeah, that is that's really good. That's really good. And take down Trump one, take that down to you. I mean, congratulations, that's great. But I mean, since we now we've got something we can all agree on, why can't we agree on he hate groups? I think all the information for the clan and the skin heads and anybody that hates another group, I think that ought to be taken down too, you know, thank you, Yes, don't reason be doing that now.

Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a board certified registered nurse, and I was raised in public housing by my aunt because my mother had me when she was sixteen. After I graduated from high school, I found out my aunt was sleeping with my boyfriend, so I beat her up and spent time in juvenile detention. From that point on, I was told that I wouldn't amount to anything. I beat the odds and I got a nursing degree. I'm thirty years old. And I just bought my first house not far from where I grew up. All of my female friends from high school are still fighting over the same men and working two and three jobs to pay the bills. We still have house parties and go on vacations, but I usually pay most of the expenses when we plan anything. I have been dating the same guy for ten years, and I'm really out of the man he's become. I've been patient with him while he completes his degree, but I don't think he's taking classes right now. When I evaluate where I am and who I associate with, I get sad. At work, I'm a different person. I got to talk to the other shift nurses and doctors, and it's a different world than what I live. And when I go home, my boyfriend loves to say I'm different, and I talk proper. When I'm at work, I am aware that I'm two different people, and I enjoy the progressive side of life more so than the one I grew up in. The more I hang with my girls on the weekend and we drink till three am, the more i know that I'm not growing them. I'm ready to walk away from everything that's familiar. In my life. But I can't do this anymore? Am I being a sellout? If I pull away from my friends? Am I supposed to keep waiting for my boyfriend to get himself all the way together? Is there a way to distance my self receptactfully? Wow? If anyone needs a change in their life, I would say it would be you and those of us who have lived and have some experience at life, we will definitely tell you that the one constant in life is change and we can't avoid it because it's going to happen whether we want it to or not. And guess what you're feeling and what you're going through right now. That's a good thing. You distance yourself by trying new things, different things, and staying busy. That's how you do it respectfully. And you can say no. It's okay to say no if you don't want to do stuff with them, like hanging out and drinking till three am. You know that's not what you do anymore. Change means growth, and you already said that you are out growing them. You feel it, you see it, and that's okay. Trust me, you will not be the first one to get a new circle of friends it's nothing wrong with that. You should accept and embrace it where it's taking you. This is your path, now your journey. You're on your journey. You're not a sellout, and don't let them try to make you think you're a sellout because you want to move up and move on and move differently. They just they just don't want you to outshine them, all right, that's where that hate would be coming from. You're thirty. Now what is your man doing besides putting you down, talking about you talk proper and you're different? Now you said he's not even in school taking classes, so you have no idea when or if he's gonna finish. I say, stop wasting your time, go ahead and live your life. Please, don't waste any more of your time with your hating friends. You have to pay for everything with them anyway. What is that about that says to me that they're users letting you pay for everything? That's not right. So if they don't appreciate the change in you, that doesn't ignite like something in them to be better, I think there are plenty of other people out there that will. I just say, go on, live your life, be great. Steve, all right, the subject is this time for change. Let me say this about Shirley's response. Every single word Shirley Strawberry just said was one thousand percent true. Period. There's no getting around what she told you. Nothing like this. Sometimes you have to hear it a different way. Now, what Shirley did was she told you exactly right. I hope you hear that because she told you almost in a way where your new, better and more improved side could understand and take it in. So, since Shirley has so eloquently done that for the new, improved, new you, I'm gonna talk to you as to old you so you can get both sides. You can pick which one you now. I want you to understand. I'm gonna say the exact same thing Shirley just said, but we're gonna take the other route. Let's break the letter down. Here we go. I'm a boyed, certified registered nurse. I was read in public housing by my aunt because my mother had me when she was sixteen. After I graduated from high school, I found out my aunt was sleeping with my boyfriend, so I beat her up and I had to spend time in juvenile detention. Okay, great, let's break this down. Your mama had you allie. You moved in with your aunt. Your aunt was you know, tricky. You found out she slept with your boyfriend, and you whip your aunt ass. Ye did what happened? Now you jumped on her real good because you got charges pressed. And now you then went down to juvie. Now you were told that you would never amount to anything, and then you beat the odds. You got out. You rose above your circumstances. You did exactly that. You have a nursing degree. You're thirty years old, and you just bought your first house not far from where I grew up. That was the mistake. You bought your first this house not far from where you grew up. That was your first mistake. Because now it has kept you too close to your past. And I hate to tell y'all this, but the anti in the hood, you got to keep it real, the real anti should be. You got to keep it moving. Hang with why Yeah, hang on. We'll have part two of your response coming up at twenty three minutes after today's Strawberry letter subject It's time for a change. We'll 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 It's time for a change. Young girl had a very who's thirty ye old woman is writing this letter had a very similar past to a lot of people. Her mother was young when she had a that's not a problem or sin. Are you raised by your aunt? And then you found out when you graduate in high school, y' aren't sleeping with your boyfriend. So you beat the ass and you had spend some time down in Julie. And from that point on you was told you wouldn't amount to anything. And then you did what so many of us have done. You beat the odds. You got a nursing degree, You're thirty years old, you just bought your first house. Here's a problem not far from where I grew up, right around them, very same people that said you would never amount to anything. All your female friends from high school are still fighting over the same end and working two and three jobs to pay the bills. All my female friends from high school are still fighting over the same end and working two three jobs pay the bills. I'm gonna save my next statement. We still have house parties, go on vacations, but I usually pay most of the expenses when we playing anything. Surely said it this way. You need a new group of friends. Why it's your ass trying to hang on to something that is not providing a benefit to you. You know why, because you are suffering from what so many people you as an emotion that has turned out to be the most useless emotion in the world, and it is called guilt. Stop suffering from guilt because it's a useless emotion. It serves nobody any purposes. U the person who's applying the guilt, and the guilt is being applied by your friends since they can't afford to do nothing and you can. You got to pay for You need some new damn friends. Here we go, but I usually pay for most of dispressive. I have been dating the same guy for ten years, and I'm really proud of the man he's become. I've been patient with him while he completes disagreeving. I don't think he's taking classes right now. And when I elevate what I am and who I associate with, I get sad. You are now sad with where you've gotten yourself, because where you've gotten remains to stay too close to where you're from once again, the antigen, the hood. If you got to keep it real, the antig is really you got to keep it moving, so you have time to try to stay true to your roots. When your roots is sick, your roots are poisoned, your root is gonna hinder and throught the development of your growth as a plant because you're trying to stay true to your roots. Well, your roots ain't moving, they ain't an't good soul, they ain't being fertilized or nothing. Now you got the same guy for ten years. You're proud of the man he's become, but you don't think he in classic right. You don't even know what he's doing. So now your association, if you continue to associate, you remember the saying association brings on participation. If you keep hanging with him, guess what you keep doing what them is doing. So now you're through on the house parties and you're drinking. What what's the benefit at work? I'm a different person. I get to talk to the other shift nurses. Oh, you get to talk with the people who are like minded. Oh okay, you could talk to other shift nurses and doctors. And it's a different world than when I live in When I go home, that's because you bought your home in the wrong place. You know, you ain't gotta keep it real, you gotta keep it moving. And this is not an anti hood statement, because all the great things in my life is from the hood. I couldn't stay there and elevate at the same time. So Number one, you need to think about that. My boyfriend loves to say I'm different and I talk proper when I'm at work. I'm aware that I'm two different people, and I enjoy the progressive side of my life more than one. I grew up here. It's because you're there's time for you to grow up and to move on. Some people are in your life for a season. There are a lot of people in your life that are seasonal people. Everybody come with you can't go with you. You got to stop trying to hang onto your past when it's throating your future. You can't keep hanging out with what you used to be when God has something clearly he wants you to be. But you have the power of choice, so hanging on to what you used to be is prohibiting you from fully reaching the potential of what you could be. I'm not ready to walk away from everything that's familiar in my life. Then cool stayed out throughout your growth, continue not to grow, go to house party, drink to three o'clock in the morning. Day the man that ain't moving forward, that's tripping on you because you're different and you enjoy the difference, But you ain't ready to walk away from everything that's familiar with you. If you stay in your comfort zone, that's where you're gonna fail. That's true again. If you stay in your comfort zone, that's where you will fail. Success is not in your comfort zone. It's on the other side. And if you want to be successful, you got to get out your comfort zone and prepare yourself to get uncomfortable. Am I being a sellout if I pull out from my friend? Now? Hell? Now, you ain't being a sellout. It's called moved out. Yeah, you ain't no sellout. You moved out. Am I supposed to keep waiting for my boyfriend to get himself all the way together? Is that way to distance myself respectfully? No? The way you distance yourself respectfully is that you you stopped hanging with them. Stop, lady, you know them nothing they're going to say, keep it real to you. They're gonna say you a sellout. All you can stay there and regret it the rest of your life, or you can go and move on and see what God has for you. You ain't gonna be less. Black.

I was I was watching TV actually last night, and um and you know that show that comes on A and E called Intervention where they where they try to intervene and get their family members off drugs or alcohol or whatever, you know. And I was watching it and this girl on the show was twenty four years old. And then they had another episode where this man was fifty, the girl was on rugs meth, and the guy was an alcoholic but he was fifty and she was twenty three. And I was watching this and both of them said the same thing which prompted my closing remarks today. Both of them said, what could my life have been? Both of them said that at one point, man, I've messed up. What could my life have been? Now? That's really hard, man, when you hear a twenty three year old say that, But for me, as equally as hard when I hear a fifty year old say that. Because what I want to say to everybody out there is talking about what could your life have been. I want you to realize that that's a trick, y'all. Don't let the devil fool you with the thought of what could my life have been? That's a trick. Your life is not over. I don't care what you've done. If God wakes you up, it's because He ain't through with you. Your life is never over until it's over. Don't let the devil fool you with the thought of what could my life have been? It's a trick. We all make mistakes, every last one of us. We will continue to make mistakes until we lead as world. Now listen, one of the mistakes that we all make is sometimes we make decisions that are contrary to what God actually wants for us. We've all done this. We all make mistakes that cause us to take and make detours in our life. And the detours that we take in our life are oftentimes leads us into another direction counter to the one that God had planned for us. Because God's original plan for you is to prosper. But we make decisions along the way that causes detours. And because something that is delayed doesn't mean that it's denied. And I want you all to stop thinking and allowing the devil to food you talking about what could my life have been? Your life still has opportunities, chances, decisions that can be made. Your life is still valuably because God keeps giving you life. Don't let this devil do his masterful trick. His only mission in life is to rob you of your destiny. You can't let this happen by allowing the negative thought to come in what could my life have been? Your life can still be. Everybody makes detours. I was looking on the line the other day and I saw Cardi B an offset over in Paris, right for fashion week, and Cardi B was decked out. This girl bad in the fashion game. But I was listening to my assistant tell me Cardi B story how she used to work out a grocery store and she couldn't make ends meet to her talked her into another profession, which was to become a stripper. Now, God ain't never told nobody to strip. You can believe that, But we make decisions. But anyway, long story short, Cardi B saved her money, went and met a radio personality and did a track, made a song. This was the story he told me. How true that is? I don't know, but I loved it right. Cardi B now is famous as an artist, but she took a detour. She was a stripper. God never had intention for Cardi B to be a stripper. Cardi B was to be a mother, Cardi B was to be a global star. And Cardi B this is her career. Her mission is still being unfolded. What Cardi B is going to be? She ain't even reached it yet. What Beyonce he's going to be? She made out, I've reached it yet. What I'm going to be? I'm getting there. I took some detours in life. I made some decisions and some marriages. I made some decisions with my career. I ended up homeless. I took some detools man to get here. Don't let the devil fool you with that statement of what could my life have been? Everybody makes mistakes that cause it detools that are contrary to God's plan. But don't you let the devil fool you with what couldn't your life have been? Your life is always processing. We are all in the process, even when you make a mistake, even when you cause a delay. But because it's delay, don't mean it's denied. We are all in the process. Don't get tripped out because your process then took a detool. God ain't through with you yet. I'm telling you, man, your life can still be great at fifty. Your life can be great at twenty three. Don't be fooled with the trick of what your life can be. Trust in God. Talk to God, call on him, and let him show you what your life can be because He got one. See your money.
