Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey
got a radio show. You know this week, I just
been on it, so today is no different. I'm telling you,
I've just reinvigorated myself. I'm more determined to share the
(02:22):
principles of success. I'm more determined to help and guide
and teach as many people as I can the things
that I've learned.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
And I mean, man, I've been through it. I have
really been through it. I kid you not. You know.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
I used to say, Okay, God, you know, why is
all this happening to me? But as I've gotten older,
I understand that was the ingredients. I needed the ingredients
to be this cake. I needed all those ingredients stirred up.
I need all of that different flavors, the stuff that
I didn't think tastes so good. All that stuff had
(02:57):
to come into the bowl in order for me to
get to where I am today. As much as I
did not like the taste of the ingredients, little did
I know God was making this cake, not me. But
what he did was and you've heard the old saying
God could turn lemons into lemonade, Well that's what he
(03:19):
was doing now.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
At the time, it.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
All had a little funky lemonade lemony flavor to it,
with some other stuff in it too.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I didn't care for it.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
But little did I know that I needed everything that
happened to me, that happened to me in the exact
order that it happened, and the exact array of things
that happened for me to have the knowledge I have today,
the experience, the attitude, so I could turn around and
share that information. Okay, got that out the way. This
(03:52):
is what I want to give to you today. I
want you to understand something that discipline determines your destiny,
not your desire. Discipline determines your destiny, not your desire.
You've heard me say this how many times.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
On the show.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Okay, here we go again, Steve, I got it. Faith
without works is dead. But let me tell you something.
To be a hard worker, you got to be disciplined.
That's one of the hardest lessons I'm trying to get
through to my sons. You're gonna throw yourself down a
cliff if you're not a young man or a man
that possesses discipline. Because they got something for undisciplined people.
(04:35):
They got some street laws for undisciplined people, and they
got some federal laws and state laws for undisciplined people.
Soe that's why them signs is outside on the freeway.
We're gonna let you go fast. But seventy is the limit.
Seventy fast enough. Really, if you're disciplined enough of a
person to leave your house at the time you're supposed
(04:57):
to leave your house, seventy miles per hour is absolutely enough.
But if you're an undisciplined person, if you don't have
the wherewithal to leave your house on time, to get
ready to go where you wanna go, see the desires
where you wanna go, the discipline is how you get there.
You understand you can wanna go to see your family
(05:19):
in California, all you want.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
But the flight leaves at one eighteen. You leave your
house at twelve thirty.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
They told you you must check in one hour before
your flight. Now, if you ain't got the discipline to
get to the airport to check in one hour before
your flight, leaving your house forty five minutes before the
flight departs, what.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
You think gonna happen?
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Your desire to go see your family in la is
going to be thwarted because you lack the discipline to
prepare yourself and get yourself ready to do the things
that you have to do to make your desires come true.
I'm telling you you discipline determines your destiny, not your desire.
(06:04):
You can write down a list of stuff you wanna
do all day, but if you don't produce and show
the discipline necessary to get there, what you think gonna happen?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (06:16):
I wanna be rich. Okay, I wanna make four hundred
thousand a year. Okay, I wanna be the best player
that they is. Okay, but you don't want practice. See
the cat that's disciplined enough to show up at practice,
that's shooting jumpers when everybody gone home. That's the guy
that's gonna be the best. The guy that's never late
(06:38):
for practice, the guy to study the playbook. That's the
guy that's gonna make it, not the guy that's talking crack,
got stalking that smack. I'm gonna make the Pro Bowl,
I'm gonna make the All Star Team, I'm gonna be
All American. That's just what you're saying. But discipline determines
your destiny, not your desire. So now let's talk about
(06:58):
this discipline. What is that, really, Steve. That's your work ethic,
that's your hunger, that's your will. Discipline is how hard
you're willing to demonstrate the attributes and the traits to
be what you want to be.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Did you hear me?
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Is your willingness to conduct yourself in a manner that
is above and beyond what they say is necessary.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Now, this is a good example right here. Now.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
You can wanna be in the NFL all you want,
but they got this thing called the NFL Combines where
they bring in some of the top players at every
position to come in and they gonna run a forty
yard dash, They're gonna do a standing broad jump, they
gonna do a standing vertical leap, they gonna do drills,
(07:53):
running drills, cutting drills. They can determine if a linebacker
got stiff hips by making him back pedal, point him
in one direction and throw the football in another direction.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
How does he turn his body?
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Now you can say you can tell everybody at your
college you want to play pro football. You can tell
everybody at your high school. You can tell them in
pee wee you wanna play pro football. But they got
tests for you though. It's called the combines. Now you
get out here and you have a bad combine day,
ain't nobody trying to hear that. Let me tell you
how excuses don't work with people when they just trying
to get when they trying to win in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
The fact that you had a bad day at the.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Combine and you don't run your best forties and you
keep telling them you could do better, they don't want
to hear that. Because see, what ain't nobody gonna pay
you for is to play on Sunday. And that's one
of your bad days. We paying you to play on Sundays.
But because you.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Keep having these bad days, because.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
You ain't disciplined enough to put in the work to
make sure that your maximum can be called upon at
any time. Now you at to combine with some slow
times that go on your record. To combine. You don't
jump as high as you did when you was at
the gym class. Well, hold up, man, this is show
day now in the NFL. Sunday is show day. What
(09:09):
they can't run the risk of is paying you your
money and your bad day happen to be on Sundays
after we done cut your check. No, no, no, we
looking for people who limit them bad days, who got
the discipline to work hard, to make an effort for it.
You understand what I'm saying to your folks. Please understand this.
Discipline determines your destiny, not your desire. If you can
(09:33):
want it all you want, But if you ain't working,
if you ain't grinding, if you ain't hurting, if you
ain't sweating real bad, if you always somewhere, got to chill,
You got to have a cold one, you got to
smoke one, You got to do all them things.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Can I tell you something you ain't gonna make it.
Discipline determines your destiny, not your desire. You're listening, Morning
