the most important thing is to
prioritize your family over your money
unfortunately a lot of people
they do the opposite they put their
money before the family
there was a story of a man who gets a
phone call from his son he was busy at
work dealing with the customers and he
was working with his wife so the wife
picks up and she hears her son on the
other side of the line and her son says
can I speak to uh can I speak to her dad
she says yeah sure no problem she gives
the phone over to the father
and the son starts telling his father
how difficult it is for him in college
and also at work and he says that you
know if you have just a few minutes to
hear me out he says yeah just give me a
second he tells all his clients can you
guys leave the store for a few minutes I
have a very important phone call he
closes down the shop
picks up the phone yes son what do you
have to tell me
he didn't realize it's going to take him
so long to express everything that's on
his mind
but they ended up on the phone call for
40 minutes
40 minutes they were on the phone he
kept his father on the phone for 40
minutes after 40 minutes the father
validates his son he says this is the
advice I would give you and he bit him
Pharrell that was all the conversation
was over he hung up
the mother saw this she was a little bit
upset it was three o'clock in the
afternoon the most busiest time of the
day
your father is working why are you
bothering him now you couldn't wait till
the end of the day to catch him why are
you calling him when you know he's busy
so later on that day when they all came
home the mother said to her son why
calling the father at such an hour when
you know he's a busy band he has
customers he has to make money he's
trying to provide for you and the son
said you know Mom I'm sorry you're right
I shouldn't have called them at such a
busy hour I thought it was only going to
be a few minutes ended up being much
more
and the father overheard the
conversation and he said what are you
talking about
the whole reason I'm working is because
I'm working for you
I'm providing for you providing for you
doesn't just mean providing for you
monetary with money it means to provide
for you emotionally as well the whole
purpose of me going out to work is to
bring you food is for me to bring you
to sustain you sustenance but my job is
to also provide for you emotionally how
am I providing for you if I'm only
providing for you physically
materialistically but I'm not providing
for you emotionally so yes just as
important as for me to pick up to take
care of my clients it's just as
important for me to pick up the phone
and speak to my son
you see people prioritize their job over
their kids I think I'm providing for my
kids I'm working all day for them but
how many parents come home when the kids
are already sleeping and they have
nothing to do with their kids they come
home at eight o'clock nine o'clock the
kids are in bed and life goes on and you
have nothing to do with your kids you
don't have nothing to do with them this
is the time to build a relationship with
them this is the time to take advantage
and opportunity those squander it
because you think you're providing for
them because you're saying oh what do
you mean I provided for them I bought
the money but that's not what providing
ends providing is not just the money
it's providing emotionally to be there
for them to speak to them to be the to
be there by their side because if you're
not doing that then you're really not
providing providing means to be there
not just physically but to be there for
them emotionally
