Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come come on, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
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?
(00:29):
How amazing is he? That's that's all, 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
(00:49):
one time, I even just got 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 is it's bigger
(01:12):
than that too.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Man.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
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.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
So I just thank him that every day, every chance
I get.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Here, it is it is your 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
(01:49):
what stops the average person from becoming successful is that
we don't realize the effort 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 aren't asking me questions about it and me
trying to figure out the way myself. I don't think
(02:12):
that you really can comprehend the effort that it takes
to become successful. This is 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
(02:39):
concerned with sleep. If you are a person who is
always concerned about sleep gets success out your mind. Ain't
finna have a partner is not finna happen. You cannot
be that concerned about sleep. Now listen to me. You
have to get your rest. But this was my philosophy.
(03:00):
I'm just sharing you with what how I did it.
My philosophy was I stopped 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
(03:22):
so I could go and put forth some more effort.
But listen to me, you 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,
(03:44):
after you get successful, you know, you learn as you
go to work smarter, 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 don't now. Maybe somebody can come for it.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I did it out.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
He probably lying, But okay, tell your story, because everybody
I know that's successful that I've sat down, I 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?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Listen to me.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
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
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 understanding this right here. Understand
that the effort that is required to be successful will
(04:48):
take everything you have, and when you think you've given
your all, it's gonna require some more. The quality of
your chield is amazing. See that's okay. Listen, what is
sitting around having a beer every day for what?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
What?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
What?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
They're sitting around smoking weed for every day for Come on, man,
for real.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
But if you took that beer, drinking weeds, smoking chill
time and applied it to progressing yourself towards your dream.
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 up
now instead of you just driving every year your family
(05:33):
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.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
They down there eating like y'all eating.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
You got attitude cause cause the day or day side
don't have a chip in or not.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
They down there eating the extra potatoes at and making place.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
You're not arguing about this every year for real, man,
they ain't got the T shirt money.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
You know, they got the same T shirt on.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
They ain't put in not really, man, so so so so,
so you want that to.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Be it every year?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Or do you want this year I'm 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 the weekend.
(06:25):
You know, you know it 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. But if you put forth
(06:50):
an extra effort, See, the only difference between extraordinary and
ordinary is one word.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
That's extra.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
If you do extra, you can take all 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 wish I could tell you another way, but.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
It ain't one. Here's what I did.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
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 saidone to see if I
can pull it up while I'm talking to you. But
(07:36):
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, no alarm
clock needed, My passion wakes me. That's what you got
(08:01):
to be about.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
