  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: I sure will. Good morning, everybody. You are listening to
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: The Voice. Come on, dig me now. One and only
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Steve Harvey. Got a radio show. Well, okay, here we go.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: You know, what's important, what can be a huge part
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: of your success is if you find a balance. If
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: you find a balance in your life, that's that's been
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: very important for me. And I've really never phrased it
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: this way until now. But I was kind of thinking
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: about it after my wife and I mean, we set
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: up one night recently, man. You know, I often come
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: on here and this is kind of an inspirational moment
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: of the show. And I try to remind people about
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: that most important relationship between you and God. And that's
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: the apex of it. That's the top of the crown.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: You've got to form the relationship with God. If you don't,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: everything else struggles. It's hard to be a good husband
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: without God. It's hard to be a good family man
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: without God. It's hard to be successful without God, man.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: It's hard to get through this thing called life without God.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: So that's clear. But at the.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Same time, you can't talk about God 24-7. You got
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: to go to work.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Come on, man.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Let's just be real. I ain't your pastor and I
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: ain't at your church, but let's just be real about it.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: You know, people tell you got to keep your mind
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: stayed on him and all like that. That's a true statement.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: got to keep your mind state in that area. I don't,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I'm not here to tell you how to live, but
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: you got to keep your mind state in that area
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: of God of doing the right thing, caring about people.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: That's what I took it as. Now I could be wrong.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I apologize if I'm not saying it the way you've
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: been taught. I can only do me now. But after that,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: you got to go to work. You got to have
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: some fun. You got to take care of your business.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: And that's the balance you have to find. So again,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Once you focus on shooing up your relationship with God,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: you got to balance this now. Now you got to
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: allocate some time. I don't care who you are for
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: your family. If you're going to have a family, you
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: got to allocate some time for them. See, we can't
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: just marry these women or make these kids and then
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: neglect them. And fellas, especially if I'm talking to men
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: out here, ladies, you can listen too. But listen, if
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you find yourself struggling in your life, man, and you
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: can't seem to get it together, let's just go over
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: a couple of things. The first two things, if you
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: find yourself struggling, you can't seem to pull it together
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: and reach your goals and get to where you want
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: to go. Let's just do a check. How is your
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: relationship with God? And then next, How much time are
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: you taking to allocate for your family? Now, your family
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: don't always live in your house. But if you made them,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: they're yours. And the responsibility to them is never lessened
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: because you don't stay there no more.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Because you and the girl broke up. You and the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: woman don't speak.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Amen. That don't ever release you from the obligation. Feel
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: me when I'm telling you this now. Because I'm not
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: telling you something I'm wondering about. I've had to live
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: through them years. So two things you can start looking at.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: If you're not where you want to be and you
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: ain't really solid, you can't figure out why you keep
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: spinning your wheels. Have you just done a random inventory, man?
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Have you just checked on your relationship with God? Have
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: you checked on the time you're spending dedicated towards your family,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: your children that you created? If them two things is
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: out of sync, man, that I can tell you right now,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: You can go on and get to explaining yourself away
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: just like that. Hey, man, how come you ain't where
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: you want to be? Well, man, I really ain't.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: But if you really ain't, then you really ain't.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: The third thing is you got to allocate the necessary
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: time for your business. You got to handle your business.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: All of this, man, is the way it works. And
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the order, the order is God first. Family second. Then
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: you got to handle all your business. But as men,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: this is what we do. If I don't handle my business,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I can't take care of my family. True statement. But
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: if your business is in front of your family, you
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: out of order. Now, that's all we're talking about now,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: ain't it? See, that's all we're really saying here now, fellas.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: You know, I mean, come on, man. You know, let's
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: have a real conversation about being better. You know, if
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: you don't create these children, you got to handle your business.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: You may not like the girl no more. You and
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: the woman might have broken up. Y'all might go your
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: own way. But what that got to do with the child, though, man?
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: You got to handle your business. They got to know
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: who daddy is. That's your obligation, man. And God ain't
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: letting you off the hook for that.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Try it.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Go ahead and try it and think you're going to
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: get off the hook with that because you're not, man.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: You're just not. I'm sorry, man. Dog, Steve, why you
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: coming like that? Because I did it like that. I
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: did it, man. I was over here trying to reshape
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: my life, get myself up on my feet. When I
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: was homeless, man, and trying to come back, man, I
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: thought I had to take care of me first and
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: then so I can neglect it.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Caring about them kids. Man, that ain't how it work, man.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: God kept his knee on my neck for a long
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: time for that one right there until I finally learned
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: the lesson.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Hold up, man. Put these phone calls in. Go spend
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: some time. Do something.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: And it started turning around for me. You know, I
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: can't be there all the time because I am out
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: here on the grind and hustle. But at the same time, man,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: some more phone calls, some more letters, some more ha
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: ha he he's something. Then take care of your business, man.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: You got to work hard to be successful. You know,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: sometimes I don't put that in there. I just live
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: it and I expect my sons to emulate that. But
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I got to talk to him all the time. How
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: hard you got to work to be something. It's an
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: all-out assault on it, man. If you got a target
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: in mind, you got to go. You got to wake
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: up every day trying to get there. And you can't
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: get tired of it because it never ends. You're going
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: to always be this way. That's how life is designed
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: and set up. You've got to be a hard worker, man.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: If you're always looking.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: For some time to chill and, man, I want to
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: go do what I want to do, you ain't going
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: to make it. In order to be successful, you have
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: to do a series of things that you're uncomfortable doing.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: And work is the thing that most of us are
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: uncomfortable doing. It's so much easier to chill. Man, I
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: wish I could kick back with a cigar, man, all
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: the time. But I can't, man. I can't because I
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: got to work. Then the last piece of the balance
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: piece is you got to take some time out to
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: enjoy yourself. But if you ain't where you want to be,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: you ain't got a lot of time to enjoy yourself.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Quit thinking, man, that this balance is even. It's a
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: whole lot of God, a whole lot of family, a
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: whole lot of business, and a little bit of chilling.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: The chilling can't be equal to the family, the business,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: or your God.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: If the chilling is equal to any of them, you
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: ain't going to make it. Quit chilling, man, and go
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: to work like a man. Do what you're supposed to do.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Work on your family. Work on your relationship. Work on
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: your God. Work on your business. And then when you chill,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: you might not chill as long, but you sure going
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: to chill bigger.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: You're going to ball bigger, baby. You're listening to the
• 7:59
