Come on now, digny if you will, one and only
Steve Harvey got a radio show.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
One of the things about being successful. I was sharing
this just the other day with a young man and
he asked me. He said, hey, man, I just don't
see how you get up that early in the morning.
I just don't see how, man, it would kill me
to get up this early in the morning. Well, I
(02:36):
sat down and I'm listening to it because it's just
a thousand times I've heard it, you know, and my
life is, you know, not too different from a lot
of people's lives. There's a lot of people out there
that rise early, and I just sit there, man, because
I mean, first of all, I'm grateful to be able
to have a job, and I'm so grateful to be
able to do one and several that I happen to
(02:57):
enjoy doing. I mean, you know it's work and it's
difficult at times, but I mean, you know I wanted this.
You know you got it. You know you can't ask
God for nothing any give it to you then be
mad that you got it. Don't make no sense. You know.
The problem with asking God for stuff is a lot
of times we ask it for stuff we don't really
know what all it encompasses, what all it really is.
And I ask for this now along the way, I've
(03:20):
gotten far more than I asked for. I want you
to do. Understand that, and you know that's His grace
at work in my life. But I get up early
and I go to work because I do understand something
that it is not walking up to you. Nobody walks
up to people normally and just hand them checks all
the time, and enough checks to sustain your life, and
(03:43):
not only sustain it, but to have a life that
where you could enjoy and do some of the things
you want to do. I don't know the person that
walks out hands out that money just to be doing
it and then with a lifestyle though, where you can
you know, give your kids a Christmas, you know, take
your family on vacation, you know, a year. Once a year.
I don't know nobody passing out to kind of money.
(04:04):
So I get up early in the morning. I get
at it. I was taught to get up early in
the morning by my father because my father says, ain't
nothing gonna come to you while you lay in there.
And you know what, It's just true, man, it's just
a little common sense. Look, old people smart, man, they've
been around a long time. You don't get old. You know,
some old foods out there, but you know you don't
(04:25):
have to deal with them. But old people are pretty smart, man.
They've learned a lot along the way. And waking up
early and getting out it is one of them things.
And I ask everybody man to think about this scenario
of your life. If a day has twenty four hours
in it, and let's just say you choose to sleep
eight of those hours because they tell you you need
(04:46):
eight hours sleep, so you sleep eight hours, that's a
third of your life asleep already, just a third of
your life is spent asleep. If you gonna do eight
hours a day, now, Let's say you have a job
that you work eight hours, and it is not the job.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Of your dreams.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
It's not your dream career, your dream profession. It's just
the one you took, like all of us, to get
it started. And then, like all of us, some of
us end up having to state that because we've created
these bills because we checked and checked, so we can't
leave it because we'll lose what we've worked for. So
let's just say you got a job that you go
to work to for eight hours. That's another third of
(05:25):
your life. That's two thirds of your life. Feel how
you want to feel about your two thirds? Well, I
like sleep. Okay, cool, there's a scripture about that too.
But now you spent two thirds of your life one
on a job you don't care for if you're not
happy that it, or one that just pays the bills,
and it's not your dream job or career. Another third
of your life is sleep. Oh now, let's hold on.
Let's talk about the one hour of preparation that it
(05:48):
may take to get to the job. That's seventeen hours.
Let's say your drive time. Let's say getting to your
job for the average person is anywhere between thirty to
an hour. That's an average of what it takes to
average person. Now, some people out there hustling way harder
than that. But let's just say your average is an
hour getting to work. You add another hour to that
(06:09):
going to work. You've now spent eighteen hours out of
the twenty four doing something that's either non productive, you're
not happy with, you're not pleased about. It is not
your dream job, it's not your dream profession. And rest
of the time you sleep. Eighteen hours. Now you got
to come from the job, so let's just say it's
another hour to get back home. That's nineteen hours. Nineteen
(06:32):
hours out of a twenty four hour day. You now
have five hours left in your day. Oh, you watch
TV two hours a day. Okay, excuse me. Let's put
now you put two hours of TV on that you've
just spent twenty one. You now have three hours in
the day to do something super productive for the development
(06:52):
of yourself and the future of your family and your
future as a person and what you can provide for
your family. Uh Oh, I need to chill. I need
to smoke one. Uh oh, I needed some time at happy.
I'll seem like all I do is dry to work
and go to work. I'm gonna go out with the
(07:12):
fellas drink one. Okay, Let's say you spend two hours
at Happy Ill nobody go to a Happy Hours just
for a hour. Let's say you spend two hours at
Happy I'll all smokeing all some video games. Let's throw
that in there. Two hours of smoking, chilling video games.
That's twenty three hours of your day gone. Don't you
see how your day slips away from you? So why
(07:35):
would you get up early? You get up early to
get a jump. You get up early to produce, to plan,
to become productive. You get up early in the morning
to care about every single minute of your day. You
wake up early in the morning because you have a plan,
a mission, You have something you want to accomplish. The
(07:55):
earlier you get up, the more time you have just
for you to devote to your plan. You map it out,
you make them, send some emails, whatever it is you
need to do to get your dream under way. Then
you go get ready. Then you get in your car
and go to work. Then you go to your job,
but on your job, instead of sitting at your lunch
break messing around with a bunch of people laughing and
(08:17):
talking about nothing, playing dominoes. Why don't you take that
hour to do some more research, to send out some
more emails, to put some feelings out there, to see
what can get you in the place that you want
to be. Then when you get off, instead of driving
straight home, why don't you go somewhere in a meeting,
you take in a session with some people in a
positive mental state, group of people that get together. Network
(08:39):
for business, not drink at happy hour. I said, network
for business. So after you've done that eight that you
don't really care for on a job, you spend some
more time pursuing, looking into researching, working towards sending out
some more applications, putting in some more time to build
your new app discussing some more network working ideas. Okay,
(09:01):
that's your happy hour. Then when you go home, instead
of chilling drinking one, having a cold, one, smoking one,
playing a video game, why don't you take that two
hours and devote that to that business idea. You got
to that family that you talk about, You really want
spend some time with your children, put something into them.
Do something. Man, with all these precious hours that God
(09:24):
gives all of us in the course of a day.
Take advantage of every minute of that. No human being
has more than twenty four hours a day, including myself.
But if you care about every single minute of that day,
you'll be amazed at how much you could get accomplished
in a twenty four hour day. But you can't get
(09:45):
none of that happening because you sleep, and you chilling
and you smoking. Okay, what has that done for you,
your family, or your future? Care about every minute of
your day.

let's just say you got a job that you go
to work to for eight hours. That's another third of
(05:25):
your life. That's two thirds of your life. Feel how
you want to feel about your two thirds? Well, I
like sleep. Okay, cool, there's a scripture about that too.
But now you spent two thirds of your life one
on a job you don't care for if you're not
