Speaker 1: Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all
Speaker 1: don't know. Y'all all suit giving them like the milking
Speaker 1: bus things. And it's true good Steve listening to go
Speaker 1: together for stuy, don't joy. You gotta use that turn
Speaker 1: hur you gotta turn to turn out, turn got to
Speaker 1: turn out to turn the water to the water. Go.
Speaker 1: Come come on your baby, ah, I show will good
Speaker 1: morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig
Speaker 1: me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show.
Speaker 1: Yoh man. God is in the blessing business all day
Speaker 1: every day. God got hundreds of millions of blessings that
Speaker 1: he passes out every day. All I want to do
Speaker 1: is be the recipient that I'm the recipient of what
Speaker 1: He has for me. That's all I want. I just
Speaker 1: want God's favor, and I go. I want God's blessings.
Speaker 1: You know, of course I need his mercy and his grace,
Speaker 1: but I just want his blessings and his favor. I want.
Speaker 1: I want that in my life because it does things
Speaker 1: for me that I'm absolutely incapable of doing for myself.
Speaker 1: And I've been a recipient of many of those. And
Speaker 1: you can be the recipient of them too. You already are, really, really,
Speaker 1: you already are. If you're getting up every morning, that's
Speaker 1: a blessing. If you're getting one day closer to anything
Speaker 1: you're trying to accomplish, that's a blessing. But now let
Speaker 1: me talk to you about this part right here, folks,
Speaker 1: because this is the part that messages people up a
Speaker 1: great deal. What happens when you get off track? What
Speaker 1: is that? What does that mean? When you get off track? See,
Speaker 1: I've been off track. I can't tell you how many times,
Speaker 1: and it happens in so many aspects of your life.
Speaker 1: But what is it that makes getting off track so
Speaker 1: debilitating to some people? You know, there are some people
Speaker 1: who want to stay off track. They off course, they
Speaker 1: off the dream, they own to something else. And you
Speaker 1: cannot allow the fact that you've gotten off track to stop.
Speaker 1: You can't tell you something. Everybody gets off track. There
Speaker 1: are people who are living their life's dreams in spite
Speaker 1: of getting off track. See what happens when you get
Speaker 1: off track? Here's the simple thing to do. The simple
Speaker 1: thing is just to get back on track. Now, that's
Speaker 1: that's But that's easier said than done. Ain't it, Steve. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Because see, people, when you get off track, here's some
Speaker 1: of the things that happened. See you get the here
Speaker 1: come to nay sayers, some of them from the outside,
Speaker 1: some of them internally. Here's what gets said when you
Speaker 1: get off track. See, I told you, I told you.
Speaker 1: You know you. You start hearing that it's not for you. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is all just because you got off track. It's
Speaker 1: not for you. Okay, here's another one. It ain't meant
Speaker 1: to be. You can hear it all, you can say it. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess it's just not meant to be. But let
Speaker 1: me ask you a question, though, who made the rule
Speaker 1: that when you get off track you can't get back on?
Speaker 1: Who made that rule? Where has that written that once
Speaker 1: you get off track you can't get back on? See,
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna tell you something, folks, there's no such rule.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, it's quite the opposite. See,
Speaker 1: everybody in pursuit of a dream, a goal and aspiration
Speaker 1: or a mission, it's going to get off track. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you're going to get derailed. They are going to be
Speaker 1: days where you're not going to get it right. That
Speaker 1: are going to be days where you feel like giving up.
Speaker 1: There's going to be days when you're just gonna flat
Speaker 1: out get it wrong. That's the journey. But let me
Speaker 1: tell you, every successful person that I know, ever met,
Speaker 1: talked to, set out, and chopped it up with, have
Speaker 1: shared one thing in common. We all get off track.
Speaker 1: We all get it wrong along the way. I don't
Speaker 1: care who the person is. The president got it wrong
Speaker 1: along the way. Your pastor got it wrong along the way.
Speaker 1: Qui director guy got it wrong along the way. The
Speaker 1: principle at your school got it wrong along the way.
Speaker 1: The valor victoria of your class got it wrong along
Speaker 1: the way. The star of the team got it wrong
Speaker 1: along the way. They've all been off track. Your boss
Speaker 1: down at your job, he got it wrong along the way.
Speaker 1: Your immediate supervisor got it wrong along the way. Everybody
Speaker 1: I know that has any measure of success in every
Speaker 1: level that you call success, however you want to label it,
Speaker 1: has gotten off track. As a matter of fact, it's impossible.
Speaker 1: Listen to me, it is impossible not to get off
Speaker 1: track in pursuit of your dreams, goals, visions, aspirations. It
Speaker 1: is impossible. Don't you let nobody tell you that they
Speaker 1: got through life unscathed that they made it because they
Speaker 1: was just so determined and I would let nothing turn
Speaker 1: me back. Yeah, you might not have let nothing turn
Speaker 1: you back because you hear all but you thought about it. Oh,
Speaker 1: you thought about it on days when you was off track.
Speaker 1: But see, people don't like to tell the whole story.
Speaker 1: They just want you to think as much as you
Speaker 1: can about them. So when they tell you the story,
Speaker 1: they leave out the stuff alone the way it was
Speaker 1: just hard work and determination that got me here. No
Speaker 1: it wasn't, No, it wasn't. It was the fact that
Speaker 1: you got off track and the grace and of God
Speaker 1: allowed you to get back on. His forgiveness allowed you
Speaker 1: to get back on because you would not believe what
Speaker 1: some of the people have done. So when you get
Speaker 1: off track, don't allow the naysayers outside and the big
Speaker 1: naysayer inside, because let me tell you something, the biggest
Speaker 1: naysayer of them all comes from inside. See, it don't
Speaker 1: matter what other people say out there. It takes some
Speaker 1: time for you to learn this. And I understand because
Speaker 1: it took me some time to learn it. See, I
Speaker 1: have a lot of naysayers out there, but I ain't
Speaker 1: operating for them. Operating function for the ones that love me,
Speaker 1: for the ones that get me, for the ones that
Speaker 1: understand what I'm really trying to do. And so don't
Speaker 1: you be the one that doesn't allow yourself to get
Speaker 1: back on track when you get off track, because, like
Speaker 1: I said, who made the rule up that you can't
Speaker 1: get back on track? There's no such rule out there.
Speaker 1: Stop stopping yourself from getting it right. So what you
Speaker 1: started to diet at the beginning of the year, and
Speaker 1: you already off, start another one, start over, try it again,
Speaker 1: don't ever stop trying. If you stop trying, you can't
Speaker 1: make it. But if you never give up the effort,
Speaker 1: if you never give up and say it's over, it
Speaker 1: ain't over. You heard just saying it ain't over to
Speaker 1: the fat ladies, saying I never invite her, she's not invited.
Speaker 1: It ain't over to the fat ladies, saying I don't
Speaker 1: know where the fat ladies stay. I am not sending
Speaker 1: her an invitation to none of my events. She's not
Speaker 1: welcome here. She didn't ask me a couple of times
Speaker 1: how come I never get invited? Because you're gonna start
Speaker 1: saying it and I ain't got time for that. All right.
Speaker 1: Stop inviting the fat lady to all your events. Thank
Speaker 1: you you're listening show, Ladies and gentlemen. It is beyond me.
Speaker 1: When I wake up in the morning and I realized
Speaker 1: that I had nothing to do with the actual arrival
Speaker 1: of the day or my ability to wake myself up,
Speaker 1: all I could say is thank you man, twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: If you'd have told me in nineteen seventy four anything
Speaker 1: about the year two thousand and twenty two, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: even have been able to put that on the radar screen.
Speaker 1: I was busy trying to figure out what I was
Speaker 1: gonna do tomorrow, let alone twenty twenty two. The thing
Speaker 1: I've learned about the future is that it has a
Speaker 1: strong possibility of getting here. So whatever you do today,
Speaker 1: understand that it will have an effect on your tomorrow.
Speaker 1: So pay close attention, young people. Stop even jest for
Speaker 1: the moment, because later on could soon become Right now,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
Speaker 1: Kill what's going on? Man? All right? Let me ask
Speaker 1: you something. I'm thinking about it, man, because I don't
Speaker 1: know how to act. I ain't got your kind of money.
Speaker 1: But what can I expect if I ever got a
Speaker 1: hold of six hundred men, how am I supposed to
Speaker 1: be act? I don't know how you're supposed to be at,

Speaker 1: ever offended me or said anything about me, and you
Speaker 1: find out that I have the six hundred million, you

Speaker 1: you get put into portion of the prison protective custody.
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta look into things. You gotta look
Speaker 1: into stuff like restraining orders, things like that. Yeah, that's first. Secondly,
Speaker 1: the people that's on my radio show, ye, my dear counterparts, Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't want y'all to feel, you know, surprised. So

Speaker 1: do that. Don't don't. Just go on with your life.

Speaker 1: He is a very sensitive and emotional man who has
Speaker 1: no difficulty expressing his every emotion to me. After dating
Speaker 1: men that play games and aren't serious about settling down
Speaker 1: with one woman, my boyfriend's openness was refreshing, but now
Speaker 1: it's proving to be way too much. He has started
Speaker 1: to complain about me being too busy for him since
Speaker 1: I'm back at work full time. Now. I got home
Speaker 1: and need a few minutes to chill and relax, but
Speaker 1: he's in my driveway every day this week when I
Speaker 1: get home. He wants to be right up under me
Speaker 1: every week, right every week night, and keeps telling me
Speaker 1: that he's afraid we're growing apart. He told me that
Speaker 1: he loved me he loved when we were quarantined together
Speaker 1: because we were inseparable. I liked it too, because we
Speaker 1: were getting to know each other. Then he started bringing
Speaker 1: his work clothes to my house and says it's too
Speaker 1: cold to go home every night and he'd rather cuddle
Speaker 1: with me. This man loves to cuddle, wine and make
Speaker 1: love to me whenever we're together. I told him he's
Speaker 1: smothering me with his actions and smothering me in the
Speaker 1: bed nightly. I have to roll him off of me.
Speaker 1: He says he can't sleep unless he's touching some part
Speaker 1: of my body. Recently, I had a conversation about taking
Speaker 1: a break or dialing it back a little bit because
Speaker 1: he couldn't process. But he couldn't process a conversation without
Speaker 1: crying and telling me that he can't live without me.
Speaker 1: I love this type of attention and all of the affection,
Speaker 1: but I'm afraid of falling too deeply for him because
Speaker 1: he may have emotional issues. How do I handle this
Speaker 1: relationship emotional issues? I don't know. Something might be a
Speaker 1: little off here. I mean, I'm sure get off of
Speaker 1: me has probably crossed your mind, and you've said it
Speaker 1: a few times, because you know while you're with him,
Speaker 1: because all the stuff here says you say he's doing
Speaker 1: it is a little smothering and suffocating if he's in
Speaker 1: the driveway when you get home and all of that.
Speaker 1: But you also say that you moved quickly. Now, these
Speaker 1: are the type of red flags that slip by when
Speaker 1: you move too quickly. And I think there's definitely something
Speaker 1: going on with him because he is too much and
Speaker 1: he has too much time on his hands. Why is
Speaker 1: he sitting in your driveway before you can even get
Speaker 1: home from work? Where does he work? I mean? And
Speaker 1: why is he crying and whining when you tell him
Speaker 1: that you need to dial it back and take a break.
Speaker 1: These are the things that attracted you to him before
Speaker 1: you've been dating for a year, which is a good
Speaker 1: amount of time. But I think there is something a
Speaker 1: little off saying he can't live without you. He's not
Speaker 1: being able to sleep without touching any part of your
Speaker 1: body and making your body go numb. And this we're
Speaker 1: not talking numb in a good way from your perspective.
Speaker 1: And I will say this, Yes women do like to cuddle. Yes,
Speaker 1: we do love the affections and attention of a man,
Speaker 1: and all of that we like to bask in all
Speaker 1: of that glow. But it does sound like he's being
Speaker 1: a bit too needy and overbearing. So I just say
Speaker 1: it's time to reassess your relationship and maybe set some
Speaker 1: new boundaries. Steve, I'm about to do the letter now.
Speaker 1: I want to forewarn all sensitive or caring people. My
Speaker 1: response is not for you. I would like to put
Speaker 1: a disclaimer on my response. Again, if you are a
Speaker 1: sensitive or caring person, my response, you're not ain't to like.
Speaker 1: Let's go okay then, Stephen Sherley, I'm a thirty nine
Speaker 1: year old woman. I'm dating a forty five year old man.
Speaker 1: We met a year ago and things started off fantastic
Speaker 1: and moved quickly. He is a very sensitive and emotional man.
Speaker 1: Now let's stop right here. He is a very sensitive
Speaker 1: and emotional man. Ladies, listen to me. That in a
Speaker 1: man is a dangerous combination. The combination is dangerous. Now,
Speaker 1: you can be one or the other, but you can't
Speaker 1: be both. You can be a sensitive man or you
Speaker 1: can be an emotional man, but you can't be both
Speaker 1: because now you are invading on a woman's right to
Speaker 1: be either. Because if you both of them, all the
Speaker 1: damn time, When does she get to be either one
Speaker 1: of those? If you have a man that's emotional and sensitive,
Speaker 1: that's a dangerous combination. And the letter will start telling
Speaker 1: it immediately. Who has no difficulty expressing every emotion to me?
Speaker 1: Who do that? And after dating me in the play games?
Speaker 1: It ain't serious about settling down with one woman. My
Speaker 1: boyfriend's openness was refreshing, ya. I bet it was at first,
Speaker 1: but soon as she say that in the letter, but
Speaker 1: now it's proving to be way too much. Why because
Speaker 1: surely it's a dangerous combination. You can't have a man
Speaker 1: that's sensitive and emotional. It's too much, because even a
Speaker 1: woman don't want that in a man. Oh he's so sensitive.
Speaker 1: Oh he's emotional. Vote he about to drive my ass crazy.
Speaker 1: You'll see we come back. I got it from all right.
Speaker 1: Coming up, we'll have part two of Steve's response to
Speaker 1: twenty three minutes after the hour Strawberry Letters. Subject for
Speaker 1: today's smother lover will get back into it right after this.
Speaker 1: You're listening to show, all right, Come on, Steve, let's
Speaker 1: recap today's Strawberry letter the subject's mother lover. All right,
Speaker 1: this thirty nine year old woman is dating a man
Speaker 1: who's forty five. He's very sensitive and emotional. Now, I
Speaker 1: said on the break before, that's a dangerous combination. Ladies,
Speaker 1: a man can be one or the other, but he
Speaker 1: cannot be both. Surely asked me why. I said, because
Speaker 1: it invades on a woman's space to be either. Because
Speaker 1: a woman, Kate, when does she get to be emotional
Speaker 1: or sensitive if your man is already that all the time.
Speaker 1: She said that her openness, He said, her openness was
Speaker 1: refreshing at first, but now it's gotten to beat the
Speaker 1: way too much. See, So now let's get into the letter.
Speaker 1: He started tould complain about being meat, being too busy
Speaker 1: for him out back work full time. I get home
Speaker 1: and I need a few minutes to chill and relax.
Speaker 1: But he's been in my driveway every day this week
Speaker 1: when I get home. Oh lord, he in the driveway.
Speaker 1: I'm talking, as soon as you get home. You can't chill,
Speaker 1: you can't have your own thoughts, you want to decompress.
Speaker 1: You've been at work. So now he's stalking, and he sprung.
Speaker 1: He wants to be right up under me every night
Speaker 1: and keeps telling me he's afraid we're growing apart. That's
Speaker 1: another word. When your man tells you he's afraid, what
Speaker 1: woman wants a scary ass man. I'm afraid he told
Speaker 1: me he loved me when we were quarantine together because
Speaker 1: we were inseparable. Well, everybody was quarantine. Quarantine was very
Speaker 1: revealing though. You either found out you hated a person
Speaker 1: or you really enjoyed the person. But then there's also
Speaker 1: a middle ground. A lot of people said, well, be
Speaker 1: nice to get back to work, so we can just
Speaker 1: separate from each other at least grow to miss each other.
Speaker 1: But I still love him and like him. I just
Speaker 1: don't like him as much all the time. You don't
Speaker 1: got tired of his ass. He didn't started bringing work
Speaker 1: clothes in your house because he says too cold to
Speaker 1: go home every night. And he rather cuddled with me.
Speaker 1: This is another dangerous statement. You got a man that
Speaker 1: loves to cuddle. Now, ladies, I know you think cuddling
Speaker 1: is cute, but not all the time. And watch why
Speaker 1: watch this man loves to cuddle, whine and make love
Speaker 1: to me whenever we together. This is another scary ass combination.
Speaker 1: He liked to cuddle, wine and make love. What kind
Speaker 1: that's making this this okay, so let me try to
Speaker 1: work through this here, because I ain't never done that,
Speaker 1: so it's gonna take me a minute. He likes to cuddle,
Speaker 1: wine and make love. All right, here we go, all right,
Speaker 1: now we we now we love it. We're in the
Speaker 1: actual act of loving and in that act you hear
Speaker 1: it this? Now you you want him to handle his business.
Speaker 1: But what is your ass crying fault? What is the wine? Now?
Speaker 1: We through making love and we through wineing. Now he coloring,
Speaker 1: But now you gotta come down off that crime. Right
Speaker 1: so now you're coloring, then you hit this head. Okay,
Speaker 1: what is happening week? Okay, well I'm coming down off
Speaker 1: the whineing. I'm breathing home because I was We was
Speaker 1: loving because I'm sensitive and emotional. Do y'all see what
Speaker 1: I'm going with this? Hire love? Yes? And then he
Speaker 1: literally lays on half your body until your limbs fall
Speaker 1: asleep and you got to roll him off of you.
Speaker 1: He say he can't sleep unless he touches some part
Speaker 1: of my body. Oh so now we talk about this.
Speaker 1: Where therapist come in that? Now? Seeing it ain't no therapist.
Speaker 1: But I'm a judge now, so let me just tell
Speaker 1: you what iut and figured out this here letter. See,
Speaker 1: he used to either suck his he had a blanket
Speaker 1: or a teddy bell. He had all this and that
Speaker 1: got burned up in his mama's house fire back in
Speaker 1: ninety four. All that got burned up, the blanket, the
Speaker 1: teddy bell, and the pacified all they got burned up
Speaker 1: in the house fire. So now he didn't met you.
Speaker 1: Now you it you the teddy bell, the blanket, and
Speaker 1: the Pacify. See, and now you told him y'all had
Speaker 1: a conversation about dialing it back a little bit, and
Speaker 1: he couldn't process the conversation. So get what he did
Speaker 1: while you started telling, he started crying because he emotional insensitive.
Speaker 1: And then he told you he can't live without you. Well,
Speaker 1: let's see see once you tell me what you can't do,
Speaker 1: prove it, because you're finding live without me. Now. I
Speaker 1: love this thing now here where the woman gets conflict.
Speaker 1: I love this type of attention and all the affection.
Speaker 1: But I'm afraid of falling too deeply for him because
Speaker 1: he may have emotional issue, may have girl may have
Speaker 1: emotional issues. Your ass is Dayton and Tony o'brown got
Speaker 1: the wonder his ass have emotional issues. You're dating and
Speaker 1: Tony o'brown without the ball pads. Un Today's Strawberry Letter

Speaker 1: and I'm gonna need some grace to get there because
Speaker 1: I'm really really shooting for one hundred and four soul.
Speaker 1: I should have a few more after this forty forty

Speaker 1: makes another decision along the way. Didn't not not can
Speaker 1: do about it. But I'm gonna do food wise and
Speaker 1: health wise, you know which, which kind of leads to
Speaker 1: my closing remarks because I want to share this through
Speaker 1: you all. We didn't do it yesterday. I learned a
Speaker 1: new way to pray, and I haven't all I've been
Speaker 1: I've been doing it, but I actually attached a number
Speaker 1: to it, which really helped me. Like I was always
Speaker 1: learned that you should be thankful first before you ask
Speaker 1: God for something. But I was watching something and a
Speaker 1: guy put a number to it. He said, when you pray,
Speaker 1: you should pray eighty twenty. And that's kind of like
Speaker 1: how I eat. I eat eighty twenty. That's to to
Speaker 1: preserve my life, to give me a healthier lifestyle. Well,
Speaker 1: if you had a healthier faith life, if you had
Speaker 1: a healthier prayer life, that would be more beneficial than anything.
Speaker 1: So he put a number eighty twenty to it. And
Speaker 1: what he said was, when you pray, you should spend
Speaker 1: eighty percent of your prayer showing gratitude, being grateful, you know,
Speaker 1: thank you and Him for things. And then the other
Speaker 1: twenty percent you present of the things that you want
Speaker 1: and desire and would like to have and need. And
Speaker 1: I found that to be interesting, and I said, Wow,
Speaker 1: I normally say thank you before I pray, but I
Speaker 1: really don't put enough time and emphasis on the thank
Speaker 1: you part. And I started praying different after the holidays,
Speaker 1: right after Christmas, and I started doing it eighty twenty.
Speaker 1: And what I did to help me show more gratitude
Speaker 1: and to be thankful, I actually pulled out a piece
Speaker 1: of blank piece of paper, printing paper, and I just
Speaker 1: wrote down everything that I should be grateful for. And
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of broad sweeping, but then I
Speaker 1: try to be a little specific to you know, like
Speaker 1: I thanked him for my health and waking me up
Speaker 1: in the mornings, and I didn't thank him for each
Speaker 1: and every breath I take in, every second of the day.
Speaker 1: But I went down to people in my life that
Speaker 1: I was grateful for. I was thanking him for the
Speaker 1: things he's done for me over the past year, deals
Speaker 1: and contracts and relationships and health and all of this stuff.
Speaker 1: And I went down list end up coming up with
Speaker 1: about probably fifty sixty fifty things that I was thankful for.
Speaker 1: I really have so much more, but I was just
Speaker 1: doing broad strokes, maybe forty something like that. And when
Speaker 1: I pray at my desk in the morning, when I'm
Speaker 1: doing my morning meditation, I actually pull the paper out
Speaker 1: so I don't forget anything. And every day that I
Speaker 1: pull it out, I end up going, oh, wow, this too,
Speaker 1: and I write a little something else. And then after that,
Speaker 1: I asked God for the things that I want. But
Speaker 1: I've learned in asking God for the things I want
Speaker 1: to also make sure that I'm in line with God's
Speaker 1: will and his timing, because that really helps me. Man,
Speaker 1: Because if I'm asking for something, but I'm also saying
Speaker 1: I also wanted to be in your will and in
Speaker 1: your timing, it relaxes me and causes me to be
Speaker 1: less anxious, and it helps me man in waiting and
Speaker 1: being patient on the things that I'm asking for. But
Speaker 1: it also fills me with such gratitude because of all
Speaker 1: the stuff I think him for. The focus is no
Speaker 1: longer on what I need, but the focus becomes a
Speaker 1: man of all the goodness he's presented to me. So
Speaker 1: somebody surely sent me this and it said that thankfulness
Speaker 1: keeps you linked to me. He's talking about God. Now,
Speaker 1: thankfulness keeps you linked to me and anchored in the present. Wary,
Speaker 1: on the other hand, pulls you into the feud where
Speaker 1: you wonder, into buring places of uncertainty because you don't
Speaker 1: know what the future holds. So now you're worrying about
Speaker 1: something you don't even know what can be. However, you
Speaker 1: can always return to me by whispering, Lord help me man.
Speaker 1: That's powerful. Y'all listen to me. Worrying about tomorrow does
Speaker 1: nothing because when he gets he is usually not what
Speaker 1: you thought it was gonna be anyway, and nor could
Speaker 1: you do anything about it. And in your mind is
Speaker 1: not geared to worry about the future. It's the present.
Speaker 1: Get thankful and get grateful for what you have, and
Speaker 1: it'll cause you to realize that you are so blessed
Speaker 1: in so many ways, and whatever else he gives you,
Speaker 1: it's just icing on the cake. Those are my closing remarks.
Speaker 1: Hope that helps you this year. It's a new way
Speaker 1: to pray in twenty twenty two. See y'all tomorrow. God
Speaker 1: Will for all. Steve Harvey Contests no purchase necessary, void
