Well, okay, here we go.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
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
(02:38):
kind of thinking about it after my wife and I
mean we set up one night recently.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Man.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
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
(03:06):
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. I ain't I ain't your pastor, and
(03:27):
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 a true statement. Got to keep your mind stayed
in that area. I Don't'm 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 apologize if I'm not saying
(03:49):
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. That's the balance you have to
find so it once you focus on showing up your
relationship with God, you.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Gotta balance this now.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
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,
(04:32):
but listen. 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 just do a check how
is your relationship with God? And then next how much
(04:55):
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
(05:16):
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?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Man? Have you just checked on your relationship with God?
Have you checked on the.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
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? Man?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Comes man, I really ain't. But if you really ain't,
then you really ain't.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
The third thing is you got to allocate the necessary
time for your business.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
You got to handle your business. All of this, man,
is the.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Way it works, and the order the order is God first,
family second. Then 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
(06:34):
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, 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.
(06:54):
You and the woman might have broken up, y'all might
go your own way, But what that got to do
with the child though, Man, you got to handle your business.
They got to know who daddy is. That's your obligation. Man,
that God ain't letting you off the hook for that.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Try it.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Go ahead and try it and think you're gonna get
off the hook with that, cause you're not.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Man, You just not.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
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
had to take care of me first and then so
I can neglect it.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Care about them kids.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Man, I ain't hid at work, man, 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,
And then it started turning around for me. You know,
I can't be there all the time because I am
out here on the grind, in the hustle.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
But at the same time, man, some more phone.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Calls, some more letters, some more haw hi, he hes something,
then take care of your business.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Man.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
You got to work hard to be successful. You know.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
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. Man. If you gotta target in mind,
you gotta go. You gotta wake up every day trying
to get there, and you can't get tired of it
because it.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Never ends.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
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 (08:34):
Man.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
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. It's so much easier to chill matter. I
wish I could kick back with a cigar man all
(08:56):
the time, but I can't, Man, I can't because I
got to work. Then the last piece of the balance,
pipe balance piece is you gotta take some time out
to enjoy yourself.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
But if you ain't where you wanna be, you ain't got.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
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. 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
(09:39):
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 law, but you show gonna chill bigger.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
You're gonna ball bigger, baby, You're listening, Morning show
