Y'all know what time of y'all don't know y'all back a suit on, looking back to back down, giving the move like theming bus bus things. And it's true. Good at Steve has listening to mother for ste Barby, I don't join joining me. Have you gotta turn ing the you gotta turn to turn them out, got to turn them out, to turn the water the water. Come come on your baby at it? Uh huh, I sure will. A good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on now, dig me want and only Steve Harvey got 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. 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 plane, feel 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 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 the 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 criticize. Oh 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? And 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 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've gotta do. But you can have all this age, keen 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 space age. You can make 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 mentioned 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.

Coom, that's best entertainment and national news right after the things out passing sings out. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, So in today's trending entertainment news, Kanye West is at it again. He has revealed his plans to change his name and run for president. At an annual innovation festival, Kanye made a surprise appearance on a panel discussion with a head designer of Yeasy footwear. Kanye declared, quote, Yeasy is the Apple of apparel. Get it as an Apple product and things like that. Okay, Kanye, what was that? Jay? Kanye? Check this out. Though Kanye did take offense when the crowd laughed at his political ambitions quote Kanye said, when I run for president in two twenty twenty four, and I witness reported that the audience went silent after Kanye shot back, what y'all laughing at we want Kanye as president. We want Trump as president. Well you know, no, we don't, Okay, Doe, We're making his case almost for him. You know, he see Kanye do something great, like the church stuff, and then the next statement, you hear him doing something. What the hell? It's just she's not consistent. Yeah, yeah, it's I think it's consistently inconsistently consistent one or the other. You do something great, then go sit with Trump right and call it daddy, and where the hurt? And yeah. So anyways, so Kanye said, when I run for president in twenty twenty four, uh, and then the audience started laughing, and Kanye was like, what y'all laughing at?

Keep being the wall up to keep the Latino kids out away from their parents. Yeah, gentlemen, she's here and trip okay, following that, all right, this is a trip with the news, everybody. The first public testimony in the impeachment and Korean too, President Trump's actions begins this week on Wednesday, actually, but Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff says he's not going to let the hearings serve as a way to conduct sham investigations into the bidens or the twenty sixteen election. Nor will he let the hearings, he says, help what is Trump's effort to threaten, intimidate, and retaliate against the whistle blower. The Supreme Courts schedule to hear arguments this week on the Trump administration's plans to get rid of the DOCCA program, talking about keeping Latinos out of the country or putting them out. DACA stands for a Deferred Action for childhood arrivals. It's the Obama era program that protects the thousands of people brought here illegally but through really no fault of their owners. Children, they brought here by their parents. The Trump administration argues that the former President Obama did not have the authority to create the program by executive order. So far, Donald Trump's efforts to get rid of the program, though, have been stopped by the lower courts. In Texas, lawmakers as well as celebrities appealing to Governor Gregor Abbott to halt the execution of an inmate named Rodney Reid. Reid is black. He was convicted by an all white jury of the rape and murder of a white woman named Stacey Stitz back in nineteen ninety six. Now, coorting to news reports, most of Stei's family do think Rodney is guilty. However, at least one of Stei's family members said that's not true. I'm not the only one. There's a group of about twelve family members that have joined together written a letter to the governor. The original person of interest was Stacey Stits fiance, a white X cop who's currently in prison. His name is Jimmy Fennel. Fellow reportedly told people that he was livid about Misstits cheating on him with a black guy, and that she deserved what she got. Rodney Reid says he was dating miss Steits and did not kill her. The father of black pre med student to shot and killed by that white cop in fort Worth during supposed wellness check. The father has died. Marquis Jefferson suffered a heart attack and died Saturday night. He was only fifty nine years old. His only child was twenty eight year old a Tatiana Jefferson, who was shot to death last month inside her fort Worth home while playing video games with her nephew. The white cop who killed her, Aaron Deane, never identified himself as an officer of the law before he burst into the apartment and then shot her through a window on the back. He resigned from the force before he could be fired. And this is Veterans Day weekend Tops of the box Office. Appropriately Enough was a movie based on the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the Battle of Midway during World War Two. Pearl Harbor is the greatest intelligence failure in American history. The Japanese are playing something bigger. What's the card? We believe it's Midway. Midway made seventeen and a half million dollars. Now back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening moning show. All right, Steve, So today it's Veterans Day. We want to say happy Veterans Day to all of our veterans out there, and surely can I say something to them in a specified yes, today, surely I like to really salute to veterans, you know, I want to say something special for them, because it's called service. What they do, these people who go down here in voluntarily. There's no draft. These people volunteer to provide service, and sometimes just sometimes that means war. W a h war, real war, y'all. This ain't the kind that you play with video games. This ain't This ain't some kind that you play with a handful of tokens. You ain't sitting with an Xbox on the edge of the couch eating a bowl of popcorn. It's real war that these people are faced with oftentimes and real life. So to the men and women of all racist creeds, colors and sex who have served our country. Well, we salute y'all on this Veteran's Day, because, let's face it, we can't all stay home because of bon spurs. Mhm huh ps. It's okay. If you're uniformed is a little tight, what what? Thank y'all? Thank yall. Some time uniform get a little tight, but we still love you. We don't care. Thank yeah, you a veteran, don't worry about the spurs. Yeah yeah, I mean yeah, yeah. But you know what, not only did he not go, his daddy didn't go. He didn't go. None of his boys went. And I'm pretty sure none of his boys boys are gonna not a nail one. Yeah, he will salute in a minute. Whoop, yeah, oh and a heartbeat. Heed. His country won't pay no taxes to it. No, no, he lured, his country will not make his fair contribution to it. But to our real veterans out there, again, we thank you for your service. Yes, all right. So coming up at thirty four after the hour, guys, Oprah and Beyonce are the latest celebrities to pressure Texas Governor Greg Abbott to grant the death row inmate Rotbey Rotney Read a stay of execution. We'll talk about it right after this. You're listening well. Beyonce has signed and shared a change dot org petition on her website in support of Rotney Read and to prevent his execution. Beyonce urges the governor to take a hard look at a substantial evidence in the right Read case that points to his innocence now, be honest, be fair, She says, give him back his life. Oprah Winfrey is speaking out about the Rodney Red death row case in Texas. Recently on CBS this morning. While talking to her friend Gail King, Oprah urged the Texas Governor Greg Abbott to take a pause on the execution scheduled four very very soon November twentieth. Take a listen. I think at least the governor has to pause and look at the two million people who have signed a petition. That's two million voices saying listen to us, something's off here, something needs to be done. Watching hello. I think this is this is a sign you're supposed to at least not execute. But other celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Rihanna Meek, mil Yaashihidi, lawmakers, they're all calling for the conviction to be overturned. More than two million people. Yes, here's the troubling part of this. Why why is it that we have to beg and plead for somebody not to kill a person when there's obvious evidence that can prove his innocence. We have to have a system where since DNA is now at a level that it wasn't at doing a lot of these convictions. And when you hear these people talking about there's new DNA evidence, it should be automatically, yeah, taken off death row and given a chance to see what the evidence is. Too many times, yea, too many times person is innocent. You can't imagine that people have died for no reason prior to this. Now that have there been people guilty on death row? Of course, but if there is evidence that says he's not, what are we talking about here? We shouldn't have to beg for this. How many people are involved? You know, it's but it's amazing, though. It's amazing how the average person can watch a video of child of police brutality, can watch a video of an unarmed man being shot and we see cut and dry evidence. Oh, he shot him, that's it, that's conviction, and they walk free. Yep. Yet them not to kill somebody, They don't kill somebody, and nothing happens, I mean nothing at all. Yeah. Nothing. You can't beg him not to kill You can't beg him to stay live. I can't breathe, I can't breathe, and you choke him to death. How much harder do you have to choke a person. You got him on the ground. Yeah, all these cops standing around that was unnecessary. And he won't his job back. Yeah. Yeah, came out a couple of weeks ago. You're right, he's asking for it back. What well? Wow, all right, So more than two million people have already signed this petition. Rodney Reid was convicted of raping and killing nineteen year old Stacy States back in nineteen ninety six. Reid said they were in a consensual relationship and maintains his innocence. Meanwhile, State's fiance allegedly confessed to another inmate when he was in prison for an unrelated crime, but retracted the confession. So he did. What is the governor saying? Service, Well, the governor right now isn't saying anything. I mean, you know, he's not saying anything. So he hasn't until November twentieth, you know, I mean, this is just one of another horrible case that Steve was talking well itself, we hope that to look at it and truth of the matter being to overturn this is to also remove a victory from a prosecutor set. Wow, and they don't want to turn it back in brother, then you'd have to admit that we were wrong and made a mistake. Yeah, it's just a life. So so let him be executed and keep the books as this crazy. That's crazy. That's what this judicial system is. If you think it's different, it's not. Yeah, all right. You can post your comments on Instagram and Facebook. On Steve Harvey FM dot com. Coming up, switching gears. We're going to switch gears here.

I need more than hugging and hunching. Dear Stephen Shirley. I am engaged to a sixty three year old man that acts a lot older than he is. His thoughts on sex and life in general shock me, and I need some advice. I'm only fifty nine years old and I still enjoy sex, and I have tried to be patient with my man. He thinks I'm a freak because I try to initiate sex daily. He likes to grind and do a lot of kissing, but we rarely go all the way. I like to take care of him in other ways, if you know what I mean, But when it comes to me, he says that his mouth is designed to eat food and nothing else. He won't even kiss around it. I'm in love with this man and I am looking forward to a lifetime with him, but I am going to need sex often. He says demeaning things to me when I try to get him to be freaky with me, so I've stopped him from hunting on me or rubbing on me In the bedroom, I just lie there and wait for him to go to sleep so I can handle my business by myself. I am letting you all know that I feel like cheating on this guy, and I have my ex on standby just in case. I have asked my man why he proposed to me, and he said he loves me and he wants to show me that there's a lot more to a great marriage than just sex. It's not that he can't perform, because he is always ready, he just doesn't want to do the do So should I follow my man's lead and stop pressuring him for sex. I'm afraid he may never change his ways and I may end up in a sexless marriage. I'm not getting any younger, So should I marry him or move on and find myself in a more compatible find myself a more compatible mate. Yeah, I think you need to find yourself a more compatible mate. You and this guy don't add up sexually and you may end up in a sexless marriage. The good thing about this is that you know this before you're married. You you've found this out before you got married. Yeah, he may never change his ways, and we as women always want the man to change. But it doesn't look like he's going to change. And you know he wants to show you. He's already told you that a great marriage can mean more than just sex. And that's not what you're looking for. That is not what you're looking for. So be clear. All the red flags are here. He's sixty three, you're fifty nine. You try to initiate sex daily at fifty nine, he's sixty three. You said he acts a lot older. That's not gonna happen, So listen, and yes, stop pressuring him, Please stop pressuring him. No one wants to feel pressured. No one wants to be pressured. I think if you, if you get with this man, if you marry him, you'll be settling, and you shouldn't settle. Steve, well, well, well, I need more than hugging and hunching. She's engaged to a sixty three ye old man and asks a lot older than he is. Okay, his thoughts on sex in life in general shock me and I need some advice. Now. She fifty nine years old, she still enjoys sex and has tried to be patient with her man, and the man thinks because she tries to initiate sex daily, she's a freak. He likes to grind and do a lot of kissing. Okay, that's good, that's full play. But we rarely go all the way full play with no payoff. It's what we're talking about. Now. I get you all worked up for no damn reason at all. I like to take care of him in other ways, if you know what I mean. No, we don't know what you mean. You're fifty nine, gonna type it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know. I like to take care of him in other words, if you know what I mean? Game? What what I like? Take care of him in other ways? If you know what I mean. But when it comes to me, he says that, he said, when it comes to me, he said, his mouth is designed to eat food and nothing else. He won't even kiss around me. She's pretty explicit without saying it. She pretty much I'm gonna have some thoughts you might want to get out of me. Ladies, that I don't think you want my answering. Now, I'm in love with this man, looking for a lifetime, but I'm going to need some sex often he says the meaning things to me when I to try to get in to be freaking. So I just stop him from hunching on me and rubbing on me in the bedroom. I just lay that way through him go sleeps like hind of my business by myself. I'm letting y'all know I feel like cheating on this guy. See here we go. Now, this is what the letter really about. Y'all doubt all that was a set up for this. Hell, I'm letting you all know right now, I feel like cheating on this guy. This is what the letter is about. We can't help you. We ain't got no suggestions for you. We don't know what's wrong with him. Who the hell like the hunch all this hard kissing and hunching. Why, I'm letting y'all know I feel like cheating on. It's got and I have my X on stand by. Justin, Kate, this relationship is over. You got your X on standby? Why? Because he beat Jack Johnson? What? Because he the dude and all? Yeah, yeah, Yeah, I'm just asking her what the problem is. Yeah, all right, when I come back, I'll tell you what the problem is. All right. We'll have part two of Steve's response coming up in twenty three minutes after the hour Today's Strawberry Letters subject. I need more than hugging and hunching. That's coming up right after this. You're listening show, all right, Steve, come on, let's recap today's strawberry letter. I need more than hugging and hunching. We're just gonna get to it. I need more than hug in the huntred sixty three year old lady man to this man act older than he is. His thoughts on sex in life in general have shocked me. I need some advice to grind and do a lot of kissing, but we rarely, rarely go all the way. I like to take care of him in other words, if you know what I mean, when it comes to me, he said his mouth and designed to eat food and nothing else. He won't even kiss around it, around it. Now, let's think about this. You got a man that won't have sex and go all the way, and you got a man that won't even kiss around it. Okay, what's wrong with it? Hell? Yeah, yeah, go ahead? No no, no, no, no, no, no, it's real. You don't hear it. This is real. Here's a man that liked to kiss and hug and grind a lot. You take care of him in other words, in other ways, if you know what I mean. But when it comes to me, he say his mouth is design to eat food and nothing. Now he won't even kiss around it. What's wrong with it? It was wrong with it? I'm not because Shelly, Shelly, you listen to me. I'm he says the meaning things to me when I try to be freaking No, I want you to hear what I said. See, Shelly, I'm gonna tell you something. I just lie a way for him and go sleep so I can handle my bears myself. I'm letting y'all know I feel like cheating on this guy, and I have my ex on stand by justin k you gotta X. Why is he your ex? Question? Yea? What is wrong with it? Why does this? Yeah? It doesn't say she keeps getting exes? No, it says she got an X on stand by. Everybody shoot him X? What's wrong with it? Question? Listen to me, Sirley, you listen to me, listen to me, but I don't. He can listen to me. I don't because you're not listening. I'm listening. I asked my man why he proposed me, and he said he loves me and he wants to show me that there's a lot more to a great marriage than just sex. And I listened to this line, Shirley. It's not that he can't perform because he is always ready, he just don't want to do the dude. So Shelly, this other stuff she doing to him that lets her know he's always ready, but he don't want to do the dude makes me ponder the question, what's wrong with it? Something wrong with it? You all are not gonna yeah, her fault. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't faulty. I'm not saying it's her fault. I'm just asking what's wrong with it? I'm wrong with it? Couldn't be a problem, there's nothing. He's a man that stay ready all the time, but he don't want to go all the way kissing around it. Here's a man that won't even kiss around it. Yeah, what's wrong with now? I have some theories, albeit wrong theories, because you know, Just because you are all agreed doesn't make you all right. Okay, I disagree. I'm not mad. I'm not mad when more than one is gathered together. Come on my name, come on, come on with any time a man, Shirley, something wrong with it? No? No, why, Shirley, Why is there's something wrong with it? Always No, he's always ready, so she don't want to go all the way and then what she wants something else. He won't even kiss around. He's not into that. He's just not into that thing. He's not into that. He's just not into it. He don't want her to take he don't want her to do that. What's wrong with it? He likes to kiss and all that. He's just not into that all. That's what clothes on hunching anyway. But he into the other thing, Shirley. He's into the other thing. Well, most men are when it's being done to them, right, we all have to agree with that. I'm not okay, killed yeah, oh lord Jesus, Lord Jesus, we have at all believe you guys, we have all up in world where someone roll with the front door. What is that now? Anyway?

So, uh, Donald Trump, our president, was ordered Wednesday to donate two million dollars to a nonprofit group and to many nonprofit groups on Wednesday by estate judge. This comes after the president admitted that funds raised by the Donald J. Trump Foundation were used to promote the presidential campaign payoff debts from his businesses and by a painting of himself. This was a portrait of self portrait to hang in one of his hotels. Though the settlement was finalized last month. Why he not in jail man all of it? Because because he's a president. Because yeah, you're right. Because say it again, Steve. He's not in jail because he's not Barack Obama. If Barack Obama had done any of this, any of this, any of it, any one thing, it doesn't make any sense and put in his blood in jail, they would unite. Yeah, yeah, and some Democrats. Yeah, you're right, So there you go with that. He was ordered to pay it. But the self portrait though, to hang in one of his hotels. I love it. He's not gonna do that, love me. They've ordered him to turn over records about the Ukraine thing, not doing it. They've ordered people to come and testify before the House Committee. They won't do it. They've ordered him turn over his tax return. He won't do it. He's not been a getting on two million dollars to no damn body. Yeah, you're right, all right.

Again, we absolutely want to shout out our veterans today and say thank you for your service. We appreciate you very much all you do. Yeah, every one of y'all with your bad self. Yeah, you know crazy that for us to look trying to jump out of helicopter. You should do a video. We can't do it, man, mis should never get complete. But it's been a good day though, Carlin jumping. I never could do that. I applaud these people in milit yeah, and air force people, all those people that jump out of airplane. I'm not with you, men and women. Yeah, I'm not doing that. Man. Come on, yeah all right, Steven, drop me off with a parachute behind the enemy line. You went there and you came back and you still got it together. Man. You know how you know that is? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't imagine jumping out of an airplane. Oh they had to suck back around time. I do want to do that, though, I really some people do it for fun. You want to do what jump out of an airplane? You know they have? I knew I want to do. I didn't know former President George Herbert Bush do it. When I don't know. I want to jump by myself. That don't look right because if if something happened, that's how you die. I don't want that. Look well, he didn't die. I'm just saying it two of y'all together like that. I don't want to you know what I'm saying. I just don't want that look don't look good? You want to be a cute corpse? You definitely so. Um Here it is my closing remarks today about the effort that it takes to become successful. And in case you're confused about it, let me clear up the myth that if you want to be successful in this country, all you want to be happy financially in this country, it requires an all out assault on your behalf to attain it. I'm going to say it again, it will require an all out assault in order for you to attain it. If you want to be successful in the United States of America. Really, I don't care where you are, but I'm just talking because the show is here. If you want to be successful in this country, financially successful, it is going to take an all out an assault on your behalf. Success is not easy. I'm not gonna paint this picture for you that all anybody can do it. Anybody can do it who's willing to apply themselves the right way. But if you're not willing, if you think there's a short cut, I have news for you. It's not. You have got to start getting doggish about your own success. You have got to make success and absolute requirement. Failure is not an option. Now listen to me. You will fail the whole time you're trying to be successful. But to allow that failure to consume you, stop you, drop you, sink you, that's unacceptable because failure is really just a valuable learned gained experience, that's all it is. It's not an indoor for you. So let me help you understand something. Let's start with eight hours of sleep, as you've heard most medical people say is required to live a healthy life. Those people who put out their survey are not wealthy people. I can assure you that because let me explain something to you, and I've talked to a lot of well off people. If you are not where you want to be in life financially, you can ill afford to be asleep eight hours a day. If you are asleep for eight hours a day, you are sleep a third of your life. It's only twenty four hours in a day. Eight hours is a third of that. If you are asleep a third of your life, it's nowhere in the world you'll be successful. You can't. There's a scripture that says something to this effect that people who love to sleep, who love the folding of hands, poverty will set upon you like a thief in the night. It says in so many words that that's not it exactly, but that's like the New Testament, meaning a new version. If you love to sleep and you love the folding of the hands, just sit around with your hands folded. Poverty will set upon you like a thief in the night. Now let me ask you a question out there. How many of you, just with us talking, how many of you know someone who loves to sleep? I think that would be all of you. All of you know someone who loves to sleep. Now let me ask you something ain't a poe. The answer is yes, tad scripture proven period. It requires an effort. You are going to start to have to eliminate some of the junk from your life. You can't be at every happy hour every day. You can't be at every party they throw. You can't some one every day. You can't watch every TV show that comes on every Wednesday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and never miss an episode. You cannot do that and be successful. Because now you're putting yourself on somebody else's schedule, and the timing of their schedule has nothing at all to do with your success. Think about it. So what you watch Scandal every day? The people don't Scandal already successful. If you're watching a particular show every day every time it comes on, and you have a series of those shows, you're scheduling your life around other people's success. You can't be tending to your success. If you own front of the boob to watching other people's success, it cannot happen to be successful. It takes a massive all out of sault. Stop messing around, take as much, eliminate as much trash from your life as can as you can, and apply it to where you are trying to go. It will serve you well, my friends, to put forth a massive effort, because that's what it takes to be successful. Those are my clothes remarks today.
