Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on your uh huh, I sure will. Good morning
everybody you are listening to the voice, come on, dig
me down one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show.
Man o, man o, man, I just I have to
tell you this. How good is the God I serve?
(00:26):
How amazing is he? That's that's all I you know.
And you know what, really, man, when I try to
explain how I feel about what he does for me, really,
the words that I come up with that they just
they they inadequate. Man, They don't they don't cut it.
They really don't. You know, I could say amazing. At
(00:47):
one time, I even just got it. I tried something
real ignorant. One time, I just said, you know, God
is just super captual, fragilistic as be all adocious. I
just tried that. See how that felt. That's that's all
to change he is with me. I just try to
because see how that felt. But then I ain't feel
right saying that's the fact that he's amazing and awesome
and he's an awesome god. You hear people say that
(01:08):
is it's bigger than that too. Man. So you know,
as hard as I try, no matter what I do
every day, I'm gonna come up short with trying to
explain to you exactly how he works and how he
is for me. So I just thank him that every day,
every chance I get here, it is it is your
(01:29):
determination and your effort. Listen to me carefully. It is
your determination and your effort. I think that the average person,
and I'm not knocking you, I just want you to
hear me out. I think what stops the average person
from becoming successful is that we don't realize the effort
(01:53):
that it takes. And that's just truth. I found that
to be so true in my life and my talking
to people and meeting people, and people are asking me
questions about it and me trying to figure out the
way myself. I don't think that you really can comprehend
the effort that it takes to become successful. This is
(02:17):
the thing that you have to wrap your mind around
very quickly if you want to be successful on any
level in any area. The dream is the beginning. Good Lord,
let me tell you something. The determination and effort is massive.
You cannot be overly concerned with sleep. If you are
(02:40):
a person who is always concerned about sleep gets success
out your mind. Ain't fin to have a partner is
not finn happen. You cannot be that concerned about sleep.
Now listen to me. You have to get your rest.
But this was my philosophy. I'm just sharing you with
what how I did it. My philosophy was I stopped
(03:05):
being concerned about sleep. I got my rest, but I
got just enough to get back to it, and I
got back on the grind to hop in the hustle.
I got just enough rest so I could go and
put forth some more effort. But listen to me, you
(03:26):
cannot sleep a third of your life away and expect
to become successful if you're not already successful. If you
are asleep for eight hours, that is a third of
your day. You cannot be asleep a third of your
life and expect to get successful. Now, after you get successful,
you know, you learn as you go to work smarter,
(03:48):
not harder. So as you get successful, you may have
eight hours available to you. But on the way up there,
I don't see how you can do it. I promise you.
I don't. Now, maybe somebody can come for God, I
did it out he probably lying, But okay, tell your story,
because everybody I know that's successful that I've sat down
(04:09):
and had real talks with They wasn't concerned with sleeping.
You cannot be concerned with sleeping. If you want to
be successful. How can this happen for you? Listen to me.
The effort that it requires is massive. It's an all
out of salt on your dream. Now you got to
make an assault. It requires an all out of salt
(04:33):
on it. And you can't be sleeping fight at the
same time. You can't fight when you sleep. Man. I
wish I could get y'all understand this right here. Understand
that the effort that is required to be successful will
take everything you have, and when you think you've given
your all, it's gonna require some more. The quality of
(04:55):
your chield is amazing. See okay, listen, sitting around having
a bill every day for what? But they're sitting around
smoking weed for every day. Pa Come on, man, for real.
But if you took that beer, drinking weeds, smoking chill
time and applied it to progressing yourself towards your dream.
(05:19):
When you do carve out a vacation, guess where you
be able to go. Guess what part of the world
you can go. See guess how you can cheer out Now?
Instead of you just driving every year your family to
the family union, sit at the same picnic table. Everybody
pull they money in two ten families don't never pool
they money in. They down there eating like y'all eating.
(05:40):
You got attitude cause cause the day or day side
don't have a chip in or not. They down there
eating the extra potatoes at and making places. You're not
arguing about this every year for real, man, they ain't
got the T shirt money. You know, they got the
same T shirt on. They ain't put in that really, man,
so so so so so you want that to be
it every year? Or do you want this year I'm
(06:03):
taking my family to New Orleans, or I'm taking my
family see the Grand Canyon. I'm taking my family down
to the beach. This year. Me and me and my
family gonna go sight see. We're gonna go ride a
couple of river on Chicago. Me and my family gonna
go skiing. This year, Me and me and my family
going out to La Man. We go. We're gonna go
out there for a weekend. You know, you know it
(06:23):
can happen like that. But if you ain't working, listen
to me, average effort gets average results. That's that's all
it is to it. See, ordinary effort gets ordinary results.
(06:46):
But if you put forth an extra effort, See, the
only difference between extraordinary and ordinary is one word, that's extra.
If you do extra, you can take ordinary right on
over to extraordinary. Do you understand you have to have
a massive assault on your dreams? Quit sitting up in here, man,
trying to chill all the time. I'm sorry, man, I
(07:08):
wish I could tell you another way, but it ain't one.
Here's what I did. I wasn't concerned about how much
sleep I got. I just had to get my rest.
And once I got enough rest to get up and
get the task done, I got up. Somebody sent me
a tweet the other day, a partner of mine. He said,
(07:31):
to see if I can pull it up while I'm
talking to you. But he just sent me a little sign,
just what, nothing, just a little something to say, Hey man,
I ran across this, I thought about you, and I
sent it to you. It said no alarm clock needed,
my passion wakes me. It's in block print. He said,
(07:52):
no alarm clock needed, My passion wakes me. That's what
you got to be about. Listening to the Steve Harvey
morning show,
