Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, I sure will.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning everybody you're listening to the voice, come on,
dig me now. One and only Steve Harley got a
radio show today. I want to just share something with
you along your way to wherever it is you're trying
(00:26):
to get to. You know, everybody has a different definition
for success, and I'm not here to tell you what
yours should be. I mean, please pursue whatever you think
success is. Aim as high as you can, though, that's
for sure. My father used to say all the time.
I'm sure you all have heard it in different variations,
(00:48):
but he used to always say, aim for the moon.
Just in case you miss, you'll still be amongst the stars.
Just say that to me all the time. So that
always was in me to aim high. Now he wasn't
saying aim with the intent to miss. He was just
saying aim in case you miss, you'll steal me amongst
(01:11):
the stars. If you aim for the moon. But if
you just aim for that first flow window and you
miss it, you know, usually run into some type of
wall and nothing happens.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
You slither down. You know.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
In my book, act like a lady, think like a man.
I told her people that me in love three ways,
they profess, they provide, they protect, and that's the core
essence of a man's love.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Well, there's some other PE's in life too.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
The number one thing you have to understand about trying
to be successful, and I guess I'll call this the
four p's. I may come up with five along the way.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I'm just talking as it's given to me. So I'm
gonna summer start by saying that these are the four
PE's of success that you have to get ready for.
Number one is pressure. A lot of it is applied
by the circumstance of what you're trying to go for
and what you're trying to do, but a lot of
(02:14):
it also is self imposed pressure. It's what you put
on yourself to make it. It's a sense of urgency,
it's a sense of necessity. But pressure is the first
thing I want you to be ready for. And pressure
comes in a lot of different forms, but it's going
(02:36):
to be pressured. As an old saying that pressure buster pipe. See,
that's why most people turn around because of the pressure
of trying to be successful. I want you to get
it in your mind that it is going to be
a pressure rize situation on your rise to the top. Pressure,
but understanding that is what it is is not going
(02:57):
to change. That's it. Prepare yourself, get ready for there
to be pressure. The second thing I want you to
understand is when you receive this pressure, you have to persist.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
You got to stay at it. You got to develop
a dog illness. Hether. There's a song.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
It says, why must I feel like that? Why must
I chase the cat? Nothing but the dog in me?
That's a funny line in that song, because really I
was thinking about it one day. I was humming it
and and it occurred to me, said, why must I
(03:45):
feel like that? Why must I chase the cat? Nothing
but the dog in me? And you know, now, you
could take it in the literal sense that a cat
chases the dog, because it's innately, it's in his spirit.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Cats and dogs are a lot of times enemies.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Now people have pets in him proven that if you
show love on both sides, they can exist. And that
happens too, but naturally innately, when your cat goes by
a dog and your dog don't recognize him, there's some
barking going on. I'm talking about just walking through the
neighborhood or something.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
So. But the reason that this dog.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Is so persistent towards this cat is just cause it's
in him. It's innately in him. And what I'm saying
to you, just using that as an analogy, is that
you got to be you got to be persistent in that.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
You got to develop some dog in you now, because
pressure takes some fighting back.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
See if you don't fight back against pressure, pressure buster pipe,
So what you think it'll do to you? Pressure crack walls,
pressure calls explosi. So if you don't fight back to
hold it in, you understand pressure does most people in
the simple thing called pressure, the weight of what it
(05:11):
feels like to want to be successful every single day,
over and over and over and over and over. It's
just too much pressure. People crack. You got to persist.
You have to persist.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
You can. The thought of giving up can come, but
you got to get it out. You got to persist.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
The next thing I want you to think about is
another something that I've been thinking about for years and
learned for years.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
It's called perseverance.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
To persist means to insist, a keyword in incest, and
persistence insists you must, you must insist that this is
going to happen. Now, the persist I'm assuming means it's
a proaction. It's some type of proaction that you go
towards it to make it. You know, persist, you gotta
(06:06):
be persistent. You gotta be constantly at it, insisting that
it happens. You gotta be constantly at it. But the
next thing I want you to remember is perseverance. Perseverance
is important. Perseverance means that when you've done your best,
when you've persisted, when you're fighting back against the pressure.
(06:26):
Perseverance simply means I'm going to hang in here. If
a crack come into pipe, I'm gonna hang in there.
If the pipe bust, I'm gonna keep going. If I
gotta put duct, take mud, whatever I got to put
on this thing, man, I'm gonna use perseverance. I'm going
(06:49):
to stay with it no matter what. So we're looking
at the three things again. You got to understand that
it's gonna be pressure that you're gonna have to persist.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Keyword in persistence.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Insists you have to insist that no matter what the
pressure is, I'm gonna stay with it. But then perseverance,
if it goes wrong, Man, you got to get in
there and keep fighting. But then, Lord have mercy. Nothing
helps you handle the three peas better than the fourth
p You got to pray. You got to use prayer.
(07:24):
You gotta talk to God. You gotta use faith. You
gotta have some conferences with him late at night, early
in the morning, in the middle of the afternoon, when
you're on the train, when you're driving. You got to
talk to God. Man, you got to get yourself some
help along the way. Nothing is bigger than prayer. There
is nothing bigger than prayer. Prayer will help you overcome
(07:46):
the pressure. Prayer will help you stay persistent, and Lord
have mercy, Prayer will help you persevere. Then, mister faux peace,
God gave that to me. I'm passing it
