Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today show is pre recorded.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Y'all know what y'all don't know y'all at all, So
don't give them the busy listening to to.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
I don't Joy, Yeah, Joy, you gotta.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
Do that, love you You gonna turn.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
I can't.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
I got to turn the mouth turn You probably got
to turn the mouth turn out.

Speaker 6 (01:46):
The word of the.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Monjupo wouldn't.

Speaker 6 (01:55):
Come come out?

Speaker 7 (01:59):
You think that, Uh huh, I sure will come on it.
Everybody y'all listening to the voice, come on, dig me
out on it. Only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man.

Speaker 8 (02:11):
Oh man, ain't God good? Yeah? Yes, you know.

Speaker 7 (02:13):
I want to remind everybody today that you got to
keep pressing forward. Man. I know it gets difficult out
there sometimes, but you got to keep pressing forward. There's
nothing else for you to do. The option of quitting,
turning back, giving up it cannot be there. The thoughts
can pop into your head, but when they do, you
got to pray about it. But you got to keep

(02:34):
pressing forward. You got to keep it moving, man. I
don't care how dark and dirty it get for you.
You got to somehow summon it up within you to
keep it moving, to keep pressing forward, because the only
way you're gonna get it is you got to stay
in the race. You know, you've heard it said a
thousand times. The race isn't given to the swift, but
to him that didn't do it to the end. You

(02:55):
got to stay with it. Whatever it is. I don't
know what it is for you, but whatever it is,
you got to stay with it, because Quentin, don't let
you see the end result, give it up. Don't let
you see the end results turning back, don't let you
see the end. The only way to see the end
results is you got to finish the race. You got
to stay in the race because the victory may be
nearer than it seems. There's a poem I learned in

(03:17):
college under some stressful situations I've just said like that.
There is a stanza in this poem called don't Quit
that says, often the goal is nearer than it seems
to a faint and a faltering man, And often the
struggler has given up when he might have captured the

(03:37):
victor's cup, and he learns too late, when the night
came down, how close he was to the golden crown.
Now that's just a stanza in it the poem is
much longer than that. I know the whole thing because
I learned it. But I've always remembered that poem that

(03:58):
the goal is often near than it seems to a
faint and a faltering man. And oftentimes the struggler has
given up when he might have captured the victor's cup,
but then he learns too late, when the night came down,
how close he was to the golden crown. And there's

(04:18):
the last stands of the poem says, it may be
near when it seems afar, so stick to the fight
when your heart is ticked. It's when things seem worse
that you mustn't quit. It's an unknown author to the poem,
so if you want to look it up, it's called
don't Quit. But you know I'm talking to you today
from the standpoint of encouragement. I want to show you

(04:40):
an analogy that I tripped on this morning when I
was thinking about something I wanted and I was thinking,
you know, okay, if you have a job, the way
you have to do your job, your job forces you
to do this, so you can't just randomly do this
on your job. A job forces you to plan ahead
little bit you know, a job requires that you go

(05:04):
through the procedures in order for something to happen that
you want to happen. Example, you want a vacation, you
have to put in for that vacation, and that's what
it's called on your job, just put in. You may
dress it up some other way, but common sense you
have to put in. You got to do that because
the job requires it. You got to put in for

(05:25):
your vacation. If you want a promotion and you see
it post it somewhere that we are now have a
position opening, you got to put in for that.

Speaker 8 (05:34):
You just can't sit back and hope they pick you.

Speaker 7 (05:38):
Because they're probably going to pick the person who wants it,
who shows the initiative to go get it.

Speaker 8 (05:44):
So you have to put in for a promotion on
a lot of jobs.

Speaker 7 (05:47):
If you want some days off, a couple of days here,
a couple of days that you got to put in
for that.

Speaker 8 (05:55):
But all of these are things that you want. You
want vacations, you.

Speaker 7 (05:58):
Want a day off here, and now you want some promotions.
If you want a raise, you have to go in
and request a raise. It requires an action on your
part on your job. And guess what we've all accepted
this as this is the way it's done. You want
to raise, you have to put in for a raise.
You want to raise, you got to go in and

(06:19):
have a meeting and take a request so you can
show your value to get to raise. You want a
vacation time, you got to put in for that, and
then they got to they could tell you, yeah, your name,
You want a promotion, same thing, you want some days off,
same thing. Okay, that's the deal with your job. Well
that's the deal with your life too. That exact picture
that I painted for you that you're all so very
much aware of that you're very crystal clear on the

(06:40):
rules and regulations that you have no problem following him
the same rules for your life. What you mean by that, Steve,
You got to put in with God. You got to
put in for what you want with God? Are you
And it's as simple as that you put in See
you want some more of this, some more that you
got to put in with God.

Speaker 8 (07:00):
You put in with your job.

Speaker 7 (07:02):
You go down there and ask that man what you want,
and you ain't got no problem following the rules. Well,
put in with God what you want? What your list?
What's your request? What do you really want? How much
money you really trying to make? Where you really trying
to live? What kind of career and job would you
really like to have? What kind of person would you

(07:22):
really like to be? What type of family are you
hoping and wishing for? Who is the person you want
in your life? What type of person do you what's
the relationship you're looking for?

Speaker 8 (07:31):
What you want? You got to put in for that.
You got to put in. You got to go to
God and put in for that.

Speaker 7 (07:36):
See, we'll follow the rules set to us up, set
us up and set up by us in a system.
But we simple rules of putting in for your life. Man,
we don't even do that. I wish I would put
in for a job and not put in for God.
You gotta be kidding me. You think this man that
has this company can has more to offer to you
in terms of vacation, promos and raisers than God got

(07:57):
for you for your life. Man, you keep putting too
much faith in Man, that's what's wrong with us. I
show hope he give me his raise. I'll show I
don't even go to people with that. I go to
God about it. Then God touched them people's hearts. Then
when I walk in there, it's already done. That's how
you capture this thing, folks. It's not a magic trick.

(08:18):
It's just a real simple understanding. Why would you not
put in with God? If you're gonna put in on
your job, that don't make no sense. Where you get
the job from? Where your job? Where your boss get
his position from? Where did this company come from? So
when you peel back to but now that it all
make a lot of sense, don't it. It really does.
And I'm just a common sense god.

Speaker 8 (08:38):
You know.

Speaker 7 (08:38):
Look, I don't have the education that a lot of
people have, but I gotta show show enough bunch of
life experience. Though Oh I've been I've been getting smacked
and knocked down the majority of my life. Oh I
may look good to you now there look like he
got his shine going on. And I am grateful to
God for my life that I got now because this
show ain't the one I had, But I got news

(08:58):
for you. It ain't the one I thought I was
gonna have until I put in for it. I ain't
see none of this until I put in for it.
And you know, as I saw it shaping and forming,
and I say God, could that really be happening? I
wonder if you could make me this, Lord, I was wondering, Man,
could I really have a syndicated radio show. Lord, I
make it happen. If it's in your will, I put
in for it, put in for it now. I'm working

(09:21):
my tail off now because that's a part of it. See.
But then God tells you that too. He says, faith
without works is dead. I'm working my behind off. But
the big thing is I put in for it. So
I got a bunch of more stuff that I don't
put in for God. I can't tell y'all what it is,
but oh, Lord, have mercy. I'm in line. I'm putting
in for all the blessings that's due me. If God's

(09:43):
passing out of raising blessings, I'm lined up. He passing
out a promotion. He's gonna promote some more blessings. I'm
lined up. He passing out extra checks down at the job.
I'm lined up because I'm putting here. And why don't
you put in too.

Speaker 1 (09:57):

Speaker 7 (38:32):
Real shot and not paying no damn attention to politics.
You can't watch it on TV, you can't read it.
So now, but it's all you got to do is
stop everybody from talking to you about it. Hey, I
don't want to hear that to day, and then you
need move on.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
Stevie says, he follows the truth.

Speaker 8 (38:54):
You know, the truth had to be at his house
talking to it.

Speaker 7 (38:57):
It's what I'm saying and the reason I I'm very
comfortable with this Stevie wanted to joke, so y'all can
get up off me because we have a very personal relationship.
Every time he drove my damn car, my brand new truck,
the blind ass got up in there and got behind
the wheel of my car and then called me and
made me look out the windows.

Speaker 8 (39:19):
And moved it a little bit. That's what really threw me.

Speaker 7 (39:22):
I said, Yeah, don't be talking about damn damn Steve
talking about Stevene. No, no, no, I've been talking about Steve.
I'm telling something else about Stevie. Wonder two. I just suggested, Lo,
it's a theory. I don't think you're blind. I don't

(39:43):

or a dog? Have you ever seen it with a
cane or a dog? Everybody I know blind got one
of the other. He ain't got neither one and always somewhere.

for him, And you know we all know that political
uncertainty can be stressful. Mental health experts recommend managing your
stress by staying informed, but know your limits. Take social
media breaks and focus on a fun hobby. Find something

meaningful to do in your community. Take care of yourself.
You can exercise, rite, eat rite, eat healthy foods, meditate,

manner with friends and family and it's not working, just
disengage from a conversation any more.

We got it for you here. It is Golberry Letter.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
Thank you nephew. Subject. There's more of him to love now.

Speaker 11 (56:29):
Dear Stephen Shirley, I dated a guy for two years
back in twenty fifteen. I got a job transfer to
another state and he didn't want to do a long
distance relationship, so we parted ways. I was heartbroken and
I considered moving back home and taking an emotion just
to be with him. He was six ' three with

(56:50):
creamy brown skin and wavy hair. He was a basketball coach.
He was a basketball coach at a high school back then. AnyWho,
I got married twenty eighteen and the marriage only lasted
eighteen months. I told my sister that coach had been
on my mind, and she encouraged me to reach out
to him. It took me four years to get around

(57:12):
to it. I called the school where he used to
be a coach. He retired, but they gave me his
email address. I emailed him and he responded. After a
few days. He said he was happy to hear from me,
and he said that we should have gotten married years ago.
My heart was so happy, and I got nervous when
he said he was coming to see me. Two weeks later,

(57:35):
he flew in and got a hotel room and invited
me to dinner. He sent me an uber and there
were flowers on the back seat, and I felt like
a queen. When I got to the restaurant, I looked around,
but the only thing I saw was the back of
a bald headed black man with big shoulders. I was
shocked when that man turned around and I saw it

(57:56):
was coach. He's a big guy, and with him being
so tall, he looked like a giant. We've been dating
six months and our conversation is great and he's still
got a great sense of humor, but intimacy is not good. Recently,
after sex, he asked me to marry him and he
wants to elope. That's fine, but I really need him

(58:20):
to slim down first. How do I ask him to
lose twenty pounds. Do you think it will hurt his feelings? Well, yes,
it's gonna hurt him. It's gonna sting him a bit.

Speaker 1 (58:32):
But trust me, he already knows, he really does.

Speaker 11 (58:35):
He's retired now and I'm sure he's not as active
as he once was. And he was losing his hair,
so he cut it all off. These things happen sometimes
as we age. It is okay, that's life. But if
you love this man and you want to marry him,
you got to be his friend first, and you gotta
tell him. You gotta be honest with him. But you

(58:56):
got to tell him nicely that you would like for
you You would like for you guys to lose weight,
especially you know him, lose weight, get healthy, get in
shape for the wedding, and you would like to try
it and keep it up and incorporate it into the marriage.
You guys mess it up the first time. You were heartbroken.
He clearly missed you. So this is your second chance

(59:19):
for the two of you to try it again and
get it right this time.

Speaker 1 (59:22):
Steve, Yeah, well, no fat shaming.

Speaker 8 (59:28):
Oh well, you must excuse me?

Speaker 7 (59:33):
Whoa you can do?

Speaker 9 (59:33):
It?

Speaker 8 (59:34):
Is we Finnah do this letter. Oh, you won't do
another letter?

Speaker 7 (59:40):
You mean it ain't no fat shaming, the whole damn
letter about his ass being fat. That's what this whole
fat and bowing. All right, all right, let me see
if I could do this without fat shaming. Okay, let's
look at the numbers. Here. Dated a guy two years
back in two thousand feet fifteen. That's twenty fifteen, two

(01:00:03):
years twenty seventeen, something like that. Got a job transferred,
He didn't want to transfer, so you broke up. You
were heartbroken, and you thought about taking the demotion. Now
you loved the guy. He was six y three, creamy,
brown skinned, waving hair. Let's keep all this in mind. Now,
six 'y three, creamy, brown skinned, waving.

Speaker 8 (01:00:27):
Hell your basketball coach?

Speaker 7 (01:00:31):
Any who say I hate when people tell us to
her and they go any who like they trying to
make light of it. I got married in twenty eighteen,
and the marriage only lasted eighteen months.

Speaker 8 (01:00:46):
Let's do some math.

Speaker 7 (01:00:48):
Let's say she talking about twenty fifteen it ended, she
got married three years later, twenty eighteen.

Speaker 8 (01:00:55):
It only lasted eighteen months. That's a year and a half.

Speaker 7 (01:00:59):
Two thousand and nine. Team damn near twenty twenty. All right, cool,
I told my sister, coach been on my mind. She
encouraged me to reach out to him. We add four
years onto that, and here we are currently from twenty
fifteen to current. Reached out to the school that used

(01:01:20):
to coach he retired.

Speaker 8 (01:01:21):
They gave me his email. I emailed him. He responded a.

Speaker 7 (01:01:23):
Few days later, said he was happy to hear from
me and that we should have gotten married years ago.
Lord have mercy. I was so happy this woman's sake.
I got nervous he was coming to see me. Two
weeks later, he flew into town, got a hotel room,

(01:01:45):
invited me to dinner here. Would have let her get good?
He sent me an Uber and that would flyers on
the back seat. I felt like a queen.

Speaker 8 (01:01:58):
What that's queen? I didn't I didn't know you'd get
away with that.

Speaker 7 (01:02:04):
I send you an Uber and put some flowers on
the back seat, and you feel like a queen? What
kind of relationship with you in Uber and some flowers?
You get to be?

Speaker 1 (01:02:15):
Girl?

Speaker 7 (01:02:16):
You gonna out? I like dating people like that. It
ain't got a very low expectation.

Speaker 8 (01:02:22):
I got to the restaurant, I looked around.

Speaker 7 (01:02:26):
Only thing I saw was real quick, Steve, the back
of a ball headed black man with big shoulders.

Speaker 11 (01:02:33):
All right, hang on, keep it right there. We'll have
part two of your response coming up. See the twenty
three minutes after the hour. Today's strawberry letter. Subject there's
more of him to love now. We'll get back into

Speaker 11 (01:03:20):
All right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter.
The subject is there's more of him to love now?

Speaker 7 (01:03:28):
All right, very quickly, because we got to get to
the crux of what this letter is about. A woman
dated a man back in twenty fifteen had been gone.
She loved him. It was great. She got a job transfer.
She had some transfer. He said he couldn't transfer. He
was a high school basketball coach. He just couldn't leave
his team, his boys. She wanted to go over her life,
so she left. They broke up, They parted ways, she

(01:03:49):
got married. The marriage only lasted a year and a half.
She told her sister, I'd always be thinking about my coach.
He was six y three, creamy, brown skin, curly hal
little sister told her reach out to him. Took her
four years to do it. Finally she reached out to

(01:04:10):
him and emailed him. He led me and mailed her
right back a couple of days later and said we
should have gotten married years ago.

Speaker 8 (01:04:17):
Oh my god. I was so happy. And then he said,
I'm flying into town to see you.

Speaker 5 (01:04:23):
Oh.

Speaker 8 (01:04:24):
He came into town, got a hotel room. She was excited.
Six three, creamy skin, curly half.

Speaker 7 (01:04:33):
She sent him my uber. He sent her an uber
and put flowers on the back seat. She felt like
a queen. She got to the restaurant, here we go,
and all she saw and looking around, but the only
thing she saw was the.

Speaker 8 (01:04:49):
Back of a ball headed black man with big shoulders. Now,
wait a minute. The dude I remember.

Speaker 7 (01:04:59):
Had apparently half, but he was sixty three. All I
saw was the ball head black man with big shoulders.
I was shocked when he turned around and saw that
it was coach.

Speaker 5 (01:05:14):
Damn.

Speaker 8 (01:05:15):
Now here we go.

Speaker 7 (01:05:16):
He was a big guy, and with him being so tall,
he looked like a giant. Well, we've been dating for
six months. See how that turned real fast? I guess
guess you didn't want to put in here. Your ass
had picked up a little bit of way too, because
obviously the weight didn't stop you. So not everybody picked

(01:05:37):
up a little bit because wasn't no need of you dog,
and him knowing your ass ain't what you was so
right after he found out he was a big guy
when he looked like a giant, we been dating for
six months and our conversation is great and he still
got a great sense of humor. Oh oh, but intimacy
is not good. Here we go, boy, don't bring it

(01:06:01):
like he used to bring it. Then gain too much
damn weight. Now here the problem with this letter right here,
all the wheezing and stuff, because see, I'm gonna tell
you here's the problem with the letter. Recently, after sex,
he asked me to marry him, and he wants to elope.

Speaker 8 (01:06:19):
Elope means to run away.

Speaker 1 (01:06:22):
Fat people can't run get married.

Speaker 8 (01:06:26):
Well, you are the last time you seen person that
break out running.

Speaker 7 (01:06:31):
Elope. Y'all gonna, y'all gonna slope off somewhere. But you're
not gonna Elope, And you want to know why? She say,
that's fine, But I really need him to slim down first.
How do I ask him lose twenty pounds? Here's the
problem with the whole letter. You need to learn your weights.
This is more than twenty. This ain't twenty pounds.

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
How do you know that?

Speaker 7 (01:06:55):
Though? Twenty pounds don't turn you into a giant, she said,
with him being so tall, he looked like a giant.
That ain't twenty pounds. Lady, know your weights, big boy?
Those woe big boy that picked on forty five fifty

(01:07:17):
he lose twenty You might not even be able to
tell now his bald head, I can't help you right there.
The curly hair gone probably ain't coming back. But that giant,
you Dayton, that's having us. The intimacy is not good
because he heavy, and it's how he tied. Now he

(01:07:41):
can't hold hisself up. You know you got to be
able to brace yourself. Men, if you're gonna be in
the love making position, you got to be able to
lock your elbows. If you can't lock your elbows longer
than twenty seconds, you gonna be raggedy in there, because
you got to be able to lock them elbows way
longer than twenty seconds, because that's one of the most
justle power position you're in now. When you can lock
your elbows, that's a power position. And if you can't

(01:08:03):
bring power for fifteen seconds, fifteen seconds normally, don't get
the job done. I just want to throw that out there.
Fifteen seconds ain't gonna really produce the reaction. You won't
cause you can't hold yourself up because you asked. And God, big,
this ain't twenty pounds any ball hitting, not sweat, just
dripping right on you direct because ain't no had.

Speaker 8 (01:08:22):
To catch it.

Speaker 7 (01:08:24):
So now he just dripping on you, and the sex
ain't good. As soon as he got through having sex,
he want to get married.

Speaker 8 (01:08:32):
And he want to.

Speaker 7 (01:08:33):
Elope, why y'all gott to run? How old are y'all?
Why y'all gotta run away?

Speaker 1 (01:08:38):
Just have a wed?

Speaker 7 (01:08:39):
And Elope, what is y'all running from? She called the
man the big ball head jihnt come talking about can
I get him lose twenty pounds?

Speaker 8 (01:08:49):
First of all, you need to learn your weights. Twenty
pounds don't make you no giant. Now I know. Ain't
nobody been on this show close to sixty three? Butt me,
butt me?

Speaker 7 (01:08:58):
Oh oh, I'm.

Speaker 8 (01:09:00):
Telling you twenty pounds ain't gonna make me no jail. Hey,
because I lost thirty four pounds and I wasn't a giant.

Speaker 7 (01:09:07):
Big boy needn lose some more weight with his weed
and ass, and you have to let him know about
the twenty That's how you know you need to get
in shape, because some friend of yours.

Speaker 8 (01:09:15):

Speaker 7 (01:13:05):
Can take three four generations after you come home.

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):
Man, that's right, all right, Shirley, there we go, all right,
thank you.

Speaker 7 (01:13:14):
I like that kind of stupidity. I see. That's different from.

Speaker 1 (01:13:18):
You're judging, right, don't judge him.

Speaker 11 (01:13:22):
Tommy coming up at the top of the hour, Steve,
a man on social media, needs your advice. He says,
family game night ended in tears. We'll talk about it
right after this.

Speaker 1 (01:13:32):
You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show, all right?

Speaker 11 (01:13:36):
Steve so Terry on Steve Harvey FM says that he
needs some advice from you. He says, we've all been
in the house the last few days due to the
winter storm, and my kids wanted to play Monopoly last night.
The game was so long and it ended up turning
into a full blown heated argument, accusations of cheating, and

(01:13:57):
one person storming off in tea. On one hand, I
need my kids to be able to deal with adversity,
challenging situations, and how to be a good loser. But
on the other I'm wondering if I should just stop
family game nights altogether. What do you think, no more
game night to keep the peace? Or give game night
another chance?

Speaker 7 (01:14:17):
I give game night another chance, But you know there
ain't your houses on that Monopoly. That ain't real money. Boardwalk, Yeah,
Boardwalk starts at all, though you ain't got no hotel.
What happened though? Here. The fight start when you roll
your dice and you to shoot, and now you march

(01:14:43):
your shoe down there and you land on boardwalk or
park place and it's a hotel sitting on it. You
got to play, and your ass ain't got enough money
or property to cover that landed.

Speaker 8 (01:15:00):
And you asked the tenant the landlord for a break.

Speaker 7 (01:15:08):
Yeah, and you find out who your people really off. Yeah,
you find out right away. If you ever need an apartment,
who not the rent from. And that's what happens at Monopoly.
So I leave game night and let them go on
and play. But if you end up, if you crying
over Monopoly, you need to you need to be very

(01:15:29):
careful because life got something for your ass or because
everything in that Monopoly game you find to get a chance,
turn up, card turnover, you fin to find a treasure.
The treasure ain't gonna be what you think it is,
and you're gonna end up somewhere your ass ain't supposed
to be. God, you gonna end up somewhere your ass

(01:15:52):
ain't supposed to be. And then bills is coming, water
works electricity they own. Now I ain't played it in
a long time. Well, we stay out the hood Baltic Avenue, Connecticut,
all regular, orient purple and powder blue.

Speaker 8 (01:16:11):
Don't even buy it.

Speaker 7 (01:16:13):
Even if you get a hotel, there's thirty dollars if
they land on that you're to mess around your hotel
and moteil six.

Speaker 11 (01:16:22):
All right, See, we have time for another one. This
is from Sherry on Steve Harvey FM. Cherry says, I
recently found out that my boyfriend of two years has
been cheating on me with a married woman. I immediately
broke it off with him and severed all ties. I
hear from mutual friends that he's still sleeping with the woman.
We live in a small town, and from what I hear,

(01:16:43):
her husband is a nice guy. He has no idea
what his wife is up to and doesn't deserve to
be kept in the dark. They've only been married for
about a year, and I feel badly for him. Should
I tell him that his wife's cheating or just stay
out of it?

Speaker 7 (01:16:58):
They, ma'am, don't do that. Don't do that. He's a
nice guy, and I feel bad for him. You're gonna
mess round and get your boyfriend killed. Okay, don't don't
do that, because this guy you think is a nice
guy he ain't that nice boy his wife that ain't.

(01:17:19):
Look you just found out you're dating the wrong guy.
And and let me just just the suggestion, fellas, just
there are plenty women out here, plenty, There are no
shortage of women out here. Don't date nobody. Don't don't
date nobody, wife though, don't do that, bro. That leads
to some things, man, that you really don't. You don't

(01:17:43):
even just stay away from people's wives. Man, there's plenty
spreef you go cheat. A lot of people out here
be willing to cheat with you. Ain't no problem about that.
Go y'all considering adults. But when you go get a
man's wife though, So don't click click click click, because

(01:18:05):
that's all she trying to do is get back at board.

Speaker 1 (01:18:08):
That's what it is, for sure.

Speaker 8 (01:18:09):
That's all that is.

Speaker 1 (01:18:10):
All right, all right, Steve, thank you.

Speaker 11 (01:18:13):

All right, here we are, guys, last break of the
day on this Thursday, Steve, I know you have something inspiring.

Speaker 7 (01:24:47):
Hey, you know what my clos remarks today is something
that I was having a conversation with the person me
sile and they were really really really just being really
hard on theyself, and they were just really in a
position where they were just really upset with their self
to the point where it was like it was hard
to listen to. And finally it got through it and
I said, bro, I said, man, why you so hard

(01:25:08):
on yourself?

Speaker 8 (01:25:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:25:10):
Man, because I'm trying to get it right and all
this here and I just can't. I said, hey, man, hey,
pull up, pull up, pull up, I said, brother, listen
to me. I cannot tell you how many times I've
gotten it wrong, how many mistakes. It's countless, the number
of mistakes I've made. I said, brother, I'm a public figure.

(01:25:33):
I've made mistakes out loud. I've had to look at
some of my mistakes play out on the internet. I said,
But brother, give yourself some grace, because God has grace
for you. Listen, man, there's none perfect, no, not one.

(01:25:57):
Stop beating yourself up to the point where you you
can't recover. Sometimes we just keep doing ourselves. Man, Stop
beating yourself up. Stop listening to these people telling you
about these lives of perfection. Get off Instagram looking at
these people's lives that ain't how they life go. Don't

(01:26:20):
nobody post on Instagram man had a rough one today.
Ain't nobody posting on Instagram? Man, I spent all my money.

Speaker 8 (01:26:28):
I'm broke.

Speaker 7 (01:26:30):
No, they show you a big check, they got a
stack of money, they got a car they driving. Ain't
nobody on ig telling you the repo man looking for it.
Ain't nobody telling you that we got a viction. Notice.

Speaker 8 (01:26:41):
Ain't nobody showing you that they lights is off.

Speaker 7 (01:26:44):
They just showing you the sunshine, and half the shine
they got going on ain't really sun at all. And
you sitting up and you getting yourself all worked up
and beat up because you comparing yourself to everybody else.
Can I tell you something about everybody else?

Speaker 8 (01:27:00):
Mind?

Speaker 7 (01:27:01):
Everybody else struggling too, everybody going through something that. Ain't
nobody living their life problem free.

Speaker 8 (01:27:11):
Now.

Speaker 7 (01:27:11):
What they are, though, are people who have learned how
to cope with it and handle it better than some others.
And that's the position you got to be in. But
start with forgiving yourself. But you know I harped on
this a little bit earlier in one of my close
remarks a couple days ago. Part of our problem, too,

(01:27:31):
is we allow too many people in our space who
keep reminding us of our past, and that don't allow
you to move forward either. Stop having these these old
woe is meet conversations about what I did and what
I have and that's why I'm here now. Stop having
that conversation because you keep yourself right there in that position.

(01:27:53):
Sow what you did it, sow what you had. The baby,
the baby here. Now, make your life for what it
is gonna be, cause the baby is here now. But
it was a mistake. You tied my life up, it
slowed me down. Got all that, but the baby here. Now,
let's move forward. You got a beautiful child. Let's move forward.

(01:28:18):
Whether you really intended for it or not, you have it.
The baby's beautiful. It's a blessing. Let's go. Stop allowing
people in your life to keep bringing up your past
and holding you to your past. Your past belongs to history,
the future belongs to God. All you got is right now,
and your job is to make the best of right now.

(01:28:41):
That's what the whole Lord's prayers about. Give us this
day our daily bread. You just gotta get through today,
and it's hard to get through today if you keep
living in the past. Man, get up. God has forgiven you.
Why don't you forgive yourself. Don't go through to a
twenty five dwelling on what we're wrong in twenty twenty four.

(01:29:03):
It's a new year. Yeah, people talking about all the time,
Happy new year. Okay, gonna be happy.

Speaker 8 (01:29:09):
Man. I messed up in twenty twenty four, got it?
Yeah you did.

Speaker 7 (01:29:13):
I made some mistakes in twenty twenty four, myself, got it.
But what they got to do with today? Because God
has giving you clearly another opportunity to get up, to
get it right and to move forward. That's what waking
up is all about. Is waking up. It's about getting
it right, getting it together, and moving forward. That's what

(01:29:38):
today is for. But if you're gonna stay in yesterday,
you're gonna hinder your progress. Don't let your past mistakes
define your future because it belongs to history.

Speaker 8 (01:29:52):
Now listen to me.

Speaker 7 (01:29:54):
Of course, there are some things we've done in our
past that we may still be having the consequences of today.
But those consequences don't all have to be dire. There's
a bright side to everything. I've said this a million
times on this show. Behind every moment of adversity, there's
a lesson and a blessing.

Speaker 8 (01:30:12):
Y'all.

Speaker 7 (01:30:12):
Made some mistakes in my past, and it took me
years to recover from some of it. But I learned
the lesson and I got the blessing out of it. Man,
everything bad happened to you ain't really that bad. Oh
I got a divorce. You better start clapping, because guess
what you could still be with them?

Speaker 6 (01:30:34):
Hello?

Speaker 7 (01:30:35):
How was that?

Speaker 8 (01:30:36):
I hate?

Speaker 7 (01:30:36):
I got a divorce? Well, how'd you like living in
that house of abuse? How'd you like living in that
house with all that cheating going on? How'd you like
living in that house with somebody that wasn't helping you
fulfill your dreams? Man, you gotta sign I got you
hurt boyt the divorce, But man, it's a blessing too.
Get up, y'all. Get up, Stop beating yourself up. Talk
to God, form a relationship with God. Ask God for

(01:30:59):
forgiveness for whatever you've done. He gives it, He wipes
his slate clean. Get up, move on, twenty twenty five
could be a better year for you. If you keep
dragging an old one along with you, you just quit
dragging it with you. Twenty twenty fourth. Ain't here no folk,
ladies and gentlemen. Talk to God. He would absolutely love

(01:31:20):
to hear from you.
