Y'all know what time to y'all don't know y'all back a suit on, looking back to back down, giving them like American buck things. And it's not doing me true good it Steve har listening to move together for Steve, Please by I don't join joining me. You gotta use that turning. You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn't got to turn out the water the water. Come come on your baby it uh huh. I show will a good morning everybody, y'all listening to the voice, come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got this radio show. Man, Hi got here. I really can't explain it. Only by the grace of God, that's all I can really tell you. I was talking with a buddy the other day and he was telling me. He said, Man, he had an interesting philosophy about it. He said, you know, you can have dreams and visions. He say, but God, God will never show you what all he has for you. He won't show you all of it because he knows you will mess it up. And you know what, man, I thought about that, And how true is that? Okay? I know that I got a radio show. I didn't see it. It's just become this major blessing for me. I didn't see it. But if I would have seen it and known when he had planned on giving it to me, I would have messed it up because Number one, my first question would have been to him, why I got to wait so long? Why don't I go down him and start on the radio now? And then I be in radio and then tyda see that God? But see, the thing about God is God don't need your help, matter of fact that he don't really want it. All he want is you to love him and obey him. If you can do them two things I think. I think I could be wrong. I think he'd be really cool with us. So had I known about these blessings that he had for me, I would have messed him up because I would have put my thinking in the figuring process, and that would have jacked it all up. That's the first thing I asked him, Why I gotta wait so long? And then if he has shown me what I was gonna have to do to get it, I would have showed messed that up. Man, I ain't gonna do that. I ain't gonna do all of that. Wait a minute, I got to go through all of these mishaps in my life. So when I get the radio show, I have something to share. Man, why don't I just read a couple of books and share that experience with them? Now, See, I want you to know what you're talking about. I want you to be transparent. I want people to be able to identify with your struggle and apply they struggle to it and see that they can get over. See. God never shows you all of it because he know will mess it up. I wouldn't have any books, I certainly please know, I would not be the host of Family Field. Can't tell you that. It is amazing man, how God works. And my invitation to everybody today is allow God to work. You know, you can ask him why all you want to. And from time to time I still do no good for me, But that old why me, old woe is me? Lord? Thing that don't really get it for me, because when I start asking him why, I'm asking somebody who has a thought process so high above mine that there's no way if he told it to me, I wouldn't even get it. You wouldn't need I don't how bright you think you are, man, you just ain't gonna get how and why he does it his way. You're not going to understand it. But he has a plan for each and every one of us. And if we adhere to the plan, if we submit ourselves to his will and just say, Okay, God, what you want me to do, I am telling you it is the best way to live. Now. You can also do it the way I did it early on. You can just do what you want to do and see how I go from now. And I will tell you from personal experience, it's not going to go good. You know. My wife and I were talking the other day. As she said something women, I had to write it down. She says, Steve, you know the funny thing about sin? She says, sin casts you more than you want to pay and causes you to stay longer than you want to stay. I ask my wife where she got them from. She says, some old person told it to it. She says, sin casts you more than you want to pay and causes you to stay longer than you want to stay. That's the problem, man, about doing what you want to do. Because we are all sinners, man, all of us, all of us, every last one of us are sinners. You will be a sinner until you die now you could be saved by grace. But you're going to be a sinner man. You are going to make mistakes. You are going to in your life knowingly do wrong. I bet you will. I don't know who you think you are. I don't know who you've been listening to. But get this, we are sinners. We were born into a world that is sinful. Now it's okay, it's okay, it's our world. But we can make the best of it because we can form a relationship with God and we can go to war with this thing, you know, and we can win. You can actually get over. Being born into this world is not an end all. That doesn't mean you're doomed, nah man, because God is available to give you life, and not only give you life, but give it to you more abundantly. I have more of an abundant life than I've ever had. If you took away the finances, trust and believe, I have so many things I could tell you that I'm grateful for. For my wife, for my children, man, for my family, for the few friends that I have, for the work that I do, man for the respect that some people that I feel around, some people from the reputation I've earned now. I ain't cool with everybody. I got that I'm cool. I ain't cool with everybody. Everybody ain't cool with me. Everybody don't like me. Man, get past that right there. I don't care what you do. Everybody ain't gonna like you. Some people didn't like Jesus. What did he do? What did he do wrong to anybody? Show it to me where he was just out there, just messing over folks, and you could justify all that happened to him. Just show it to me. But he knew everybody ain't gonna like me. I just come to save y'all. You understand, I got you. Ain't feeling me. You're gonna spit on me. You're gonna hang me up there, You're gonna pierce my side. You're gonna do all that to me. When you get through, I still love you. That's that's a powerful statement. Man, God will take care of you if you form this relationship with him. He has something for you. He has a plan for you that is beyond your magic nation. He will give you the desires of your heart. But he also has some stuff in store for you that you're not even asking for. That he is willing to ship to an address that belongs to you as long as you stay on the right path and are trying your best, God to ship you the blessing anywhere. Because please know He's done it to me. I'm a living witness to this that God will ship you blessings. And you ain't gonna be perfect. But if he know your heart, man, if he know you trying to do better, if he see you trying to change, if he see you trying to get it right, he understands that you're gonna stumble all the way through this thing. But if he know your heart and he know you trying to get it right, and you're doing the best, you can boar his ships some stuff your way? Man, you really be tripping, man, you would really be tripping. Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man, it's crazy? Aint it? You're listening? Ladies and gentlemen, We are here, welcome to the right on this Tuesday. My ain't it to make? Let me ask Charlotte question before we get started.

Okay, this is answered. Put the news everybody. Well, that's it. The twenty twenty census forms are being printed without the are you assistant question that Donald Trump was pushing to have included. Last week, the Supreme Court banned the question from the census forms temporarily. In fact, the government miss Monday's deadline to begin printing the new ones. However, the High Court describes Commerce Secretary William Ross's explanation as for wanting to include the question as contrived and incongruent with what the record reveals about the agency's priorities and decision making. Pro New York to Attorney General Letitia James, by the way, it calls it old victory, a celebra justice for all, says everyone should be counted. Meanwhile, the TRUP administration is sending out notices demanding hefty fines of up to a half a million dollars to some undocumented aliens who already ordered deported. In fact, the Department of Homeland Security has sent out a bunch of notices at least across the country, ordering those targeted to cough up as much as a half a million dollars At the same time. Conditions under which immigrant children are being held at the southern border sparked protests across the country yesterday, demonstrations in fact in more than one hundred seventy US cities. The demonstrations were prompted by reports that the children were being held in barren border patrol cells without proper food, sanitation or supervision, and more protests are scheduled for today outside the gates of the government's newest child center, scheduled to open in South Texas that later on this morning. Meanwhile, Trump signed a measure providing four and a half billion dollars to provide for the hundreds of Central Americans still flooding the borders. Krats are suing Treasury Secretary Steve Manusian and i RUS Commissioner Charles Reading over their refusal to release President Trump's tax returns. The Democrats are seeking to force Manusian and Ready to comply with the subpoena demanding six years of the president's tax returns, and sixty one oh three of the nation's tax code gives a chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Committee the right to request the returns of any US citizens. Republicans say it's a violation of taxpayer privacy. Sad news, Former christ and chairman Leia Coca has died at age ninety four of Parkinson's disease. Iakcha introduced the Mustang and the minivanday, every man and woman at Chrysler has a commitment to build cars that will take on the best quality, hard work commitment the stuff America is made of. I have one and only one ambition for Chrysler to be the best. Quite a salesman he was, and finally today is preparing for the fourth day, or may the fourth be with you. This is an tripped out back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Everybody you're listening, Steven, Here we are, Steve, just catch up. I'm over this fine girl house stomach toe up the eight gree old foods seventeen. Should have went home to use the bathrooms setting the house. She fine.

I'm in here, neked, sitting on the tarlet, just my shirt on because I like to shit wide legg I like to be open and free, and I need it because I had to brace myself a couple of times. But she never came in there. Not she coming, that's coming in the store. So I get up. I finally get through, but I've noticed that I'm putting more in the bowl and never been, so I'm a little bit concerned with them ship value. So I flushed the toilet as I'm putting my pants back up on me, and I'm waiting to hear that. But I don't head and I look back and let's going in a slow circle. So I go in. I go to my heavenly Father. Here, Father, pray the Lord. Now, Lord stopped this rising time. Wow, somehow, don't let this swirl get up by the top. But he didn't hear me that day. Yeah, I guess it wasn't less. The next thing I know, it's at the very top of the tarlet. Oh my god, and it's about to flow over. So now I don't know what to do. So I looked down and it's a trash can. So I dipped the trash can down in it, and I got a trash can full of it. Yeah, so I pulled a shower curtin back and throw it in the bawn too. But here comes some moat, so I had to take another trash can full of it and throw another trash can in the bathtub, and here comes some damn moat. So now I realized they call it is broke, they call it backed up, and it started going back down. I say, I gotta get some water and put it in here. So I started running water in the trash can to pour it down there and make the water go clean. So I finally did that, and I said, thank you Lord. And I looked over and the damn bathtub tripe, showers tripe. I look up, it's on the wall, It's on the water four part four, Hold, this is this is R. Kelly's in the closet. This is Steve Harleys in the bare food trapped parts, Folks coming up right trap in the bood part. Folk. It's on the walls, the shower curtain and the bathtub is shrike. More of this crazy ignorant show. Steve Harvey Morning Show. Right after this you're listening stow Steve Trapped in the ball R Kelly in the close part. Folk. Yeah, I then veil about three buckets trash hands a pure mess, then throw it in the shower. So when I get all of the water back in the tarlet, where I got it sometime in the water clean I said, okay, cool, I look over the damn bathtub is strip So now I cut skis, people shower on and I'm washing down the walls, the shower curtain with the shower. The girl comes up to the girl because I've been in here now about for the five minute time, so she said, you O care now everything fast? She said, it sounds like something wrong in the keeping the door id to get away from the dun said, well, okay, my house. So I'm in there. It's just too late. But I noticed they got a candle in the bathroom. I light it and I like the candle. Start striking matches and running tap water for my mom always told me strike some matches and run some tap water and to help you get rid of older. So I'm doing that. But now I'm washing down shower curtains, wall the bathtub, getting up stuff off to float. I'm here now. Now you probably say it, Steve, what is you washing it down with? Yeah? What on paper? Tis in? Now? But that tie rack that I had grabbed when I first sat down and was twisting it. Yeah, they guess, hows the pretty ones with the lace in the Yeah, yeah, yeah, thats what I washing it down. That my good towel that is tie is brown. I can't risten all because the color when it started that was pinch. This is awful that it tows is running. I don't washed all the walls down. Everything I'm in that sweating been on the construction site. I've been in that total about damn near hour. So I put the fastened my clothes. I look at the bathroom. I got everything off, but I got the big nasty ass tie, and I don't know what to do with it. So I take it, put it in the waste paper can that I've been bailing with, and struck all that under the sink. Yeah. I figured this ain't gonna be good. No how Yeah, but at least when they come in here, they's gonna take a moment, because I know when you go in there, you're gonna have to say what they hid happened? Because I couldn't remember how the shower curtain was of none of that, And now I got I look, I'm telling you, I got everything off. So I walked down the hallway. She's sitting on the couch with the attitude of folding. Did she look at me, and she said, why are you betting that so long? I had a little accident. Then she said, oh my god, look at you. What was it? I didn't realize when I was bailing all that mess into the shower it was splashing on my pants below my knee. I ain't had time to look at this because I'm too busy cleaning up the damn house. I looked down. It's just spicks, splash marks from my knee down my pants was t I looked at huh. She looked at me and she said, oh my god, look at you. What have you been doing. I looked at her and said, you ain't got to talk to me like that, and walked out the foot and slam.

And if you are in a situation and you need some advice, please submit your letter to Steve Harvey FM dot com. That's Steve Harvey FM dot com. We could read your letter on the air. Nephew, let's go buckle up and hold down, tidd We got him. That's the brother right there. All right, subject, let's get it started. Dear Stephen Shirley, I am I am darn near fifty years old, and my wife say, Neil, okay, you're not gonna stop. You're gonna stop doing that with these letters. You are just like the cuss. Okay, just say that if they wrote, it's not you customers what they see it. I am darn near fifty years old and my wife. Let me just say this, were you watching CNN when Donald Trump made the s whole comment about Haiti and Africa afy comment? Take it upon themselves to take an advantage of that situation because it's journalism. Yeah, all right, and start being a professional journey. I am darn near fifty years old and my wife is forty. We've been married for almost ten years and have two children, both under the age of five. I want to make sure you all have the details. First of all, I love my wife, but it's in all caps. B ut all caps. But here is the problem. If I want some cookie, I have to initiate it ninety five percent of the times. Sometimes she will, but it is rare to me, rare for me. I don't want to feel like I am forcing her to do something she doesn't want to do. However, I think we are both young enough to have the time of our lives. I have often gone to bed frustrated with the lack of cookie in our life. I have gone to bed naked. I have purchased her sexy lingerie, which she does not wear. I have even told her that sometimes she can initiate the sex, but nothing changes. I think she doesn't feel confident in her bedroom skills. But this leaves me frustrated too often or thinking I am just horrible in bed. She acts like I am the best in the world when we do engage, but why doesn't she initiated more often? I feel like she should come and talk to me and tell me I am not as good in bed as I think I am. I have never cheated on my wife and I have no plans to. But I can't keep going to sleep sexually frustrated. What else can I do to have her make the first move? Or am I stuck making the first move forever? Please help? Well, I mean you might have to. You you might have to. I mean, if you want it, you have to go after what you want. You've talked to her about it, you do at ninety five percent of the time. That five percent of the time, maybe that's all you'll have for now, maybe she is uncomfortable sexually and maybe you have to keep going until she gets more comfortable, or you know, maybe she'll never get more comfortable. Maybe it was the way she was raised. You never know unless you, guys do have some honest communication about your you know, sexual life or lack thereof. So you're gonna have to talk to her. I mean, I know you want these changes, um, but you it's your wife. You guys are married. You can talk, you can communicate, you can tell her what you like and what you don't like. Steve, well, well, well, well, well, because here we go. Yeah, yeah, the married man's plight. Yeah, let's talk about this for a minute. He fifty. She foughty? Is that what he's saying? He damned near fifty his wife foughty. They've been married ten years. They got two kids, both the age of under the age of five. Senior, he say, I want to make sure you have all the details. Well, sir, right now, I need to make sure you got all the details too, because see, two kids, it's under five. Ain't nothing sexy about that. Kids is mood killers. Kids is buzz killers. Kids is blockers. Kids is in the way kids create interference. That's what kids is. So now that you wanted us to have the details, I just wanted to throw that at you. Now you say, first you love my life wife. But here's the problem. If I want some cookie, I gotta initiate. Ninety five percent of the time, I would venture to say. I would just venture to say that that's ninety five percent of the marital situation today. I would venture to say I could be wrong, but that's just an opinion of mine. I think in a marriage, once them kids is here, that is usually the man that's trying to initiate ninety five percent of the time. In ninety five percent of the manages, not as that other thing that's some woman listening to Uh, I can't keep my hands off them. Mind. Well, we're not married to you, and you ain't in this letter. I'm glad you exist, but I ain't got time to go find nobody else. I got jobs, I got a legacy I'm working on, and a family. I'm trying to maintain that hole together. So now I have purchased her sexy lingerie what she does not wear. I've told her that sometimes she can initiate sex, but nothing changes. I think she doesn't feel confident in her bedroom. Skills. Dog, it's them damn kids. Them kids is wearing her hast. You got two kids under five, Dog, you got to understand. These kids is wearing this po woman out. She ain't got time for you all, ain't, Steve? I want this damn dog out our house. We just bought up in here. How about that personal Now, I'm sorry, coming up to twenty three after We'll be right back. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, Steve, come on, let's get to it part two of your This man right here, he fifted his wife for it. They got two kids under five, and he frustrated because he going to bed neked because she won't initiate sex. He got initiated ninety five percent of the time. Now, before I left, what I tried to pull out to the man, which he tried to tell us at the beginning of the letter, was so we have all the fact that they have two kids under five. It's them, damn kids, damn kids. It's wearing this woman out. Two kids are something else. I give you an example, when the grandkids come over our house. There ain't even our kids no more. I got rid of all our kids. I thought they was going, But now when they come back, they bring more people with them. They called grand kids. They sleep in the bed with us, which kills my sleeping necking can't sleep naked with the grand baby in the bed. Them kids is moved killers. They block us. Them kids is actually birth control. Maybe your wife ain't so at an see to get up on you because she don't want them more kids. That could be she threw with the kids. She got these two babies under five, you laying over here, neckd She set up in here and then Jeff put him to sleep. She tried to get some rest because she got to go deal with these kids. That could be it. Man, I would venture to say that that's probably it. Now, what are you you would like for her to initiate this a little bit more? That ain't gonna happen. That's all he wants. Yeah, I mean you know what. Look, we would all like for our girl to be a little bit more forced for hey baby, you know. But for the most part, in the managers usually the man that's initiating, Ain't that right, Sherley, That's right, see what I'm saying, because sherl up at the house playing the same damn game, same damn game. What okay? Well all right then? All right then my aunt, I don't wan't know? All right then, Hill that ain't want out, won't I want some hot fiery give your damn clothes off. That's what a man won't now. The man say, ain't never cheated on his wife. He has no plans on it. When you got to fix something at the house. But it's them damn kids though, It's just like nah our house. It's this damn dog. You guys have a new dog, right, Yeah, we got a new dog. Bad? He blocking you keep talking about this dog. I didn't ask for the dog. You ain't never heard me ask for a dog. What's his name? Steve bow black ass bad? I want to get off barbecue and smoke cigars, Drake Scott. That's what I want to do when I get off. Yeah, I didn't work with the doberman. It's scared of his ass. I wish I would. What I'm not gonna do it be scared in my house? Right, So it's the kids dog. Ain't nothing you can do. You didn't about the lingerie. You want her to come on to you like she did when she was trying to get you. But them days is probably gone. All you're gonna have to invest in some money to get them kids sent away somewhere. Eve, No, I didn't mean it like that. I meant like a like a babysitter, something like like ny or something like that, or hell, board school. Then you're gonna have to work what people get their kids sent to boarding school all the time, all the time. This ain't you ain't against the law. That ain't what you want to do. You want to have your kids close You want to sent on to boarding school so you can have more sex. Yeah, I wish i'd have thought of that, but I didn't because I would have missed raising my boys and girls. So I I want them close by because I wanted to insteal some things and that boarding school was unable to and I've done that. They're not perfect, but the hell I wouldn't e back to this letter. This how it is, dog, Yeah, this just how it is. Welcome to marriage, one old one. I can tell you right now you can quit going to bed Nike, because the damn kids gonna walk in. They're getting about the bed. You're asking that naked and it's hard because you don't sleep with a bathtie next to the bed. So now you got to get up in the baby seeing you daddy naked walk into the rule and then you didn't say if you was in shape or not. Let detail. So now this walk, maybe this walk to the bad. Maybe you ain't as fine niked as you thought you were. All right set out of here, but you look like you and your second trimester that could be throwing it off to email us through Instagram. That's your thoughts on today's Strawberry letter years. I don't know what the hell going over. All right, we'll be back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after you're listening to show. All right, we're back, let's go. Come on, y'all. I want to inspire, I want to help. I want to uplift. I want to share. It's not so much teaching as it is for me with just sharing. Your are the gifts that just keeps on giving. I try to be I want to ask a question. Go ahead, when you get to a certain dollar amount, is there a dollar that you don't lose anymore? Let's say you got a half million dollar? Do you never go below something? Do you never go do you pick up? Do you pick a number and say, okay, I can never be below three hundred thousand? Well, I mean you should try to do that. You should always have breakpoint, a breakpoint. It's like your weight. It's like I can only get so big, and I got to go on back to the gym. Right now I'm on the top dollar. So now it's like that with your finances. You want to keep yourself because you gotta understand something. If God blesses you to get to a certain point, why would you go back? Right? Yeah, why would you go back? You know, and you gotta understand it. You go, okay, while been there, done that. I know what it's like to live mouth to mouth check to check and not say it takes a long time to stop living check to check. I want you to understand it, So don't feel bad if you do, because it takes a lot. Even if after you make a lot of money, you still be living check to check a lot of times because you still you're trying to get a lot of things, acquire a lot of things. It's hard, but you want to try to get Once you cross a certain threshold, you want to try to stay on that side of it, Kevin nine. And there you may dip in low, but you want to try to get back, so fight as hard as you can. That's a good question. Okay, here's my question. How much and what should you invest in? What's a good investment right now? Well, land is always landing property. It's always a good investment because it's always an appreciable asset. Cars are not an appreciable asset. Don't think you've invested in there's nothing. Yeah, land and property always appreciates because somebody's gonna always want that land or somebody will always need a house. Now, does that include like a condo, things like just yes, condos, apartments, a home, a piece of land. If you buy a piece of land with the intent to build on it one day, just having that land, I promise you in a couple of years that land gonna be worth more than you pay for and somebody will be willing to give you more. That is the guaranteed. Now, there are some more things that you can invest in, stocks and things, but that's always a little bit more risky, ye, risky, always a little bit more risky. But there are safe stocks, you know, there are stocks that ain't going nowhere. You know that's expensive cold successful products ain't going nowhere. You know, general electric going nowhere since before we were here. Yeah, certain things most Steve Harden Mota show. Right after that, you're listening, This is when you realize you're not good at cheating, and it's when you get caught. As soon as you get caught, I'm always well, I wasn't good at it this time. I've never been good at but just one time. Yeah, I'm at my place. You know, got my little place is a you know, I got faked for all on the couch and everything, got my little got my little pictures on the wall, my seat, my album, you know the album, got the albums on the wall. Man, I'm sitting at chit chatting, you know. We listen to some loofa loof we some looph All of a sudden, a brick comes through the window, right, what right? Like this is normal with with his It didn't have a note on it, so I had it didn't have Nobody threw a brick through your windows. And it was a nice side of brick, right, not a rock. I didn't say a rock. This was a brick. Well, I'm here to jail. You Nothing changes the mood in a room like a brick coming through your window and your albums and all that. Forget all that, right, I can't hear outside. I still didn't know who. Bring your own lass out in You ain't gonna buy that though you still hear the rude number one never got you never go outside, and it killed. No, you don't go outside, But it changed the mood of the inside. So I couldn't go outside, and I had nothing inside because inside now I wasn't naked. I wasn't naked, but what was inside left So she left because that changed the mood right there. When you're hit, when you hit, when you see a brick and then bring your lass outside. But when you saw the brick, you had no idea. I kind of had an idea. Who drew the brick? But the move has changed. So that was that's my confession. Wow, mine ain't that bad. I was young man about twenty two, so I started dating this girl that worked at four. So I finally took a long time got her to go out to dinner with me. I went to this restaurant up on Northfield called Brown Derby. We walked into Brown derby. I got my little Prudy, ain't suit on everything. We sit down at the table. I'm sitting there, man, big thick knock, come a little frowing everything. You know, how you feel somebody standing? Yeah, it was kind of dimly lit in there. So when my eyes adjusted, I look and the other girl I'm dating, it's in there with her mama dinner. And she just standing at me, looking at you. I'm talking about man, upside my head her mama back to me. Now, i'd have been over that house man thirty time. I know. You know, she staring at me. So I looked across through these little vase with the flowers in it. You just thought I was in the jungle somewhere. I look around and made our contact. I jerked my head so I would look out of no more, I said the man. I didn't know what to do. Man, I'm young. I'm trying to work this out. So I said, man, I gotta do something. So I got up. She looked dead at me. As soon as I got up and walked towards the bathroom. Here she comes. So when I got ready to make the left to turn into the bathroom, I just kind of peeked back and see if she was there with a mama.

You're listening to all right, Steve, here we are, last break of the day. It's been a good day. Wow. A lot of things. Yeah, a lot of things we talked about today. All right, Steve, time for you to take us home with some words of wisdom. Closing remarks. Take it away, well, my remarks today, um all in the light of encouraging everybody. And I've decided to refresh all of my remarks in the morning and in closing because it's uh, it's time to get a new commitment that I've got to make towards twenty nineteen, and one of them is two in courage as many people as I can. I don't have to do this, but I have to do this. You know what I'm saying. I don't have to do it because people can say, well, Steve, you know, going about your beers and man, don't ware about that. I can't do that. I can't. I have to do what's put on my heart to do, and I may not be as effective as a lot of people. You know, I'm definitely not the most eloquent speaker of all. I promise you I'm not. But I have a unique way of sharing my experiences and it's my only hope is not for you to think anything of me, but to see if you can see yourself in anything that I'm saying, and maybe use some of the twols I've used and some of the thoughts I've used to get me through some really really challenging moments in my life. And I want to talk to you about planning today. As you plan out your life, you plan out your week, you set your goals, your dreams, your aspirations. You have this plan in place, I want you to do one thing if you haven't already doing it. I want you to put God in these plans. Man, I'm just being serious with you. You know, Look, you don't have to follow my faith. I don't push that. I don't What your faith is is, what your faith is, what you call God, you call God. I'm absolutely fine with it. The name that you'd attached to him is none of my business. It's not my call, it's yours. But you do have to have this relationship with God, and you can call him Jehovah, our Live. You can call anything you want to. I'm not I don't know all of them, but you could pick anyone you want. It works if it works for you. I want you to make it work for you. When you make your plans, when you're out there planning, put some God in it. Now, listen to me. Try to view every day as an adventure of this plan that you've mapped out. But in this plan, when you include God and you ask him to help God and order your steps as you follow the plan, it takes a little bit of pressure off of you. See what I've done is especially this year. I made a conscientious decision to say to my creator, order my steps, show me what to do. Remove all fear and moments of fret when difficulties are challenges come in front of me. When I hear the know, when I hear this what we're gonna do and it's not doesn't seem like it's in my best interest. I have a plan because I'm letting him drive because I just have the belief that he didn't bring me this father leave me. So with that in mind, I'm simply putting him in all of my plans him guide me. So when the difficulties come, I know that he's in charge. I ask him to make me attentive, to pay attention to the flows of life, to trust that he's with me with the flows of life, that when it gets unbearable at time, to just let him hold me. You know, because I really do appreciate this day call life, that we have this life in the day of this daycall life. I love it, man. I love waking up. I love experiencing life. I know it's gonna be challenging, but I like it. And I just know that He's with me every single step of the way. So when them steps that I'm taking look a little shaky and it looked like I'm falling and stumbling, I always know he got me because at the beginning of my plan, I put him in it, and I already understand, like I was talking to y'all the other day, that life is going to happen to all of us. Your greatest plan and your greatest attempts at success and happiness. You're gonna run up into this thing called life. And life has its evan flows, its peaks, as valleys, as ups and downs. But y'all, we got to hang in there. I'm gonna keep saying it to you this year because I want you to hang in there. Man, Stop panicking every time something go wrong. It's called life. Stop tripping when it don't go your way, It's called life. Keep talking to God. He has a plan for you. And in these plans that are going to be tested. See if you say you want to be successful, and you say you want to be happy, you're gonna get tested along the way. How bad do you want to be successful? To listen to me, let me show you what I've learned. If your plan is to be successful, and you strike out to become successful, and then bad stuff happens to you, and then every time something bad that happens to you, you fold up your tent and you go home, well, guess what, you didn't pass the tests. So even if God allowed you, or you got successful, as soon as something happened after you become successful, guess what you're gonna do. You're gonna fold up to ten and go home. So why would he give you all this success and you don't know how to take care of it. You learn how to take care of success by learning how to take care of the situations that get in front of you. That's called test. You gotta get to learn how to handle a these tests. You gotta get tested. So when you get through where you're going and you get the results of your hard work the test, you pass the test, so you can now hold on to it. It's really that simple. I'm gonna keep talking to y'all though. Those are my remarks for today. Drop it, Steve have a great teacher. For all Steve Harvey contests, no purchase necessary void where prohibited.
