one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Well, okay, here we go.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
You know what's important, What's what can be a huge
part of your success is if you if you find
a balance, if you find a balance in your life.
That's that's been very important for me. And I've really
never phrased it this way until now, but I was
(00:40):
kind of thinking about it after my wife and I
mean we set up one night recently.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Man.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
You know, I often come on here and this is
kind of an inspirational moment of the show, and I
try to remind people about that most important relationship between
you and God. And that's that's the apex of it.
That's that's the that's the top of the crown. You've
got to form the relationship with God. If you don't,
everything else struggles. It's hard to be a good husband
(01:08):
without God. It's hard to be a good family man
without God. It's hard to be successful without God. Man,
it's hard to be hard to get through this thing
called life without God. So that's clear. But at the
same time, you can't talk about God. Twenty four seven,
you got to go to work. Come on, man, let's
just be real.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I ain't.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I ain't your pastor, and I ain't at your church.
But let's just be real about it. You know, now,
people tell you got to keep your mind stayed on
Him and all like that. That's the true statement. Got
to keep your mind stayed in that area. I don't
not here to tell you how to live, but you
got to keep your mind stayed in that area of God,
of doing the right thing, caring about people. That's what
I took it as. Now I could be wrong. I
(01:49):
apologize if I'm not saying it the way you've been taught.
I can only do me now. But after that, you
got to go to work. You got to have some fun.
You got to take care of your business. And that's
the balance you have to find. So it once you
focus on showing up your relationship.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
With God, you got you gotta balance this. Now.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Now, you got to allocate some time. I don't care
who you are, for your family. If you're gonna have
a family, you got to allocate some time for them. See,
we can't just marry these women or make these kids
and then neglect them and fellas, especially if I'm talking
to men out here and ladies you can listen to.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
But listen.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
If you find yourself struggling in your life, man, and
you can't seem to get it together, Let's just go
over a couple of things. The first two things. If
you find yourself struggling you can't seem to pull it
together and reach your goals and get the where you
want to go, Let's let's just do a check how
is your relationship with God? And then next how much
(02:57):
time are you taking to allocate for your family? Now,
your family don't always live in your house, but if
you made them, they yours and the responsibility to them
is never lessen because you don't stay that no more
because you and the girl broke up, you and a
woman don't speak that, hey, man, that don't ever release
(03:18):
you from the obligation. Feel me what I'm telling you
this now because I'm not telling you something I'm wondering about.
I've had to live through them years. So two things
you can start looking at. If you not where you
want to be, and you ain't, you ain't really solent.
You can't figure out why you keep spending your wheels.
Have you just done a random inventory? Man? Have you
(03:38):
just checked on your relationship with God? Have you checked
on the time you spending dedicated towards your family, your
children that you created? If them two things is out
of sink man, that I can tell you right now.
You can go on and get to explaining yourself away
just like that. Hey, man, how come you ain't where
you want to be?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Man? Comes man, I really ain't. If you really ain't,
then you really ain't.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
The third thing is you got to allocate the necessary
time for your business. You got to handle your business.
All of this, man, is the way it works, and
the order. The order is God first, family second. Then
(04:25):
you got to handle all your business. But as me,
and this is what we do. If I don't handle
my business, I can't take care of my family, true statement.
But if your business is in front of your family,
you out of order. Now that's all we talking about
now in it. See that's all we really say in
here now, fellas you know, you know I mean, I mean,
(04:46):
come on, man, you know, let's have a real conversation
about being better. You know, if you have created these children,
you got to handle your business. You may not like
the girl no more. You and the woman might have
broken up, y'all might go your own way, But what
that got to do with child though, Man, you got
to handle your business.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
They got to know who daddy is.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
That's your obligation, man, that God ain't letting you off
the hook for that.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Try it.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Go ahead and try it and think you're gonna get
off the hook with that, cause you're not. Man, You
just not. I'm sorry, man, dog Steve, Why you coming
like that? Because I did it like that. I did it, man.
I was over here trying to reshape my life, get
myself up on my feet when I was a homeless
man and trying to come back. Man, I thought I
(05:30):
had to take care of me first and then so
I can neglect it.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Cared about them kids. Man, I ain't hid at work. Man.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
God kept his knee on my neck for a long
time for that one right there, till I finally learned
the lesson Hold up, man, put these phone calls in,
Go spend some time, do something.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
And then it started turning around for me.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
You know, I can't be there all the time because
I am out here on the grind, in the hustle.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
But at the same time, man, some more phone.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Calls, some more letters, some more How h he heeds something,
then take care of your business.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Man. You got to work hard to be successful. You know.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Sometimes I don't put that in there. I just live it,
and I expect my sons to emulate that. But I
gotta talk to them all the time. How hard you
got to work to be something? It's all out of
salt on it.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Man. If you gotta target in mind, you gotta go.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
You gotta wake up every day trying to get there,
and you can't get tired of it because it never ends.
You're gonna always be this way. That's how life is
designed and set up. You got to be a hard worker.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Man.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
If you always looking for some time to chill, and man,
I wanna go do what I want to do, you
ain't gonna make it. In order to be successful, you
have to do a series of things that you're uncomfortable doing.
And work is the thing that most of us are
uncomfortable doing.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
It's so much easier to chill. Matter.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I wish I could kick back with a cigar man
all the time, but I can't, Man, I can't because
I got to work.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Then the last piece of the balance pie.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Balance piece is you gotta take some time out to
enjoy yourself. But if you ain't where you wanna be,
you ain't got a lot of time to enjoy yourself.
Quit thinking, man, that this balance is even. It's a
whole lot of God, a whole lot of family, a
whole lot of business, and a little bit of chilling.
(07:33):
The chilling can't be equal to the family, the business,
all your God. If the chilling is equal to any
of them, you ain't gonna make it. Quit chilling, man,
and go to work like a man. Do what you're
supposed to do. Work on your family, work on your relationship,
work on your God, work on your business. And then
when you chill, you might not chill as long, but
(07:54):
you show gonna chill bigger.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
You're gonna ball bigger. Baby. You're listening to the Steve
