Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on. Uh huh, I sure will come on with
everybody you are listening to the voice, Come on Digny now,
one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Well, okay,
here we go. You know what's important, What's what can

(00:22):
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 kind of thinking about it after my
wife and I mean we set up one night recently. Man.

(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 Kate 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, I

(01:29):
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 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.

(01:49):
I apologize if I'm not saying it the way you're
being 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 with God,

(02:10):
you gotta balance this. Now. 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,

(02:31):
especially if I'm talking to men out here and ladies
you can listen to. 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 to where you want to go, Let's just
do a check how is your relationship with God? And

(02:55):
then next how much time are you taking to allocate
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

(03:17):
ever release 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,

(03:38):
have you 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? Man? Comes man, I really ain't.

(04:00):
But if you really ain't, then you really ain't. 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 you got

(04:25):
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, come on, man,

(04:46):
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 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. Try it. Go ahead and try

(05:10):
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 had to take

(05:31):
care of me first and then so I can neglect
it care about them kids. 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

(05:51):
all the time because I am out here on the
ground in the hustle. But at the same time, man,
some more phone calls, some more, letters, some more haha,
he he something. Then take care of your business, man.
You got to work hard to be successful, you know.
I sometimes I don't put that in there. I just
live it, and I expect my sons to emulate that.

(06:12):
But I gotta talk to them all the time. How
hard you got to work to be something. It's an
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 never ends. You're gonna always
be this way. That's how life is designed and set up.

(06:35):
You got to be a hard worker. Man. 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

(06:56):
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. Then, the last piece of the balance
pipe balance piece is you gotta take some time out
to enjoy yourself. But if you ain't where you wanna be,

(07:19):
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.
The chilling can't be equal to the family, the business,
all your God. If the chilling is equal to any

(07:40):
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 law, but
you show gonna chill bigger. You're gonna ball bigger. Baby.
