Speaker 1 (00:03):
I shall well, good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice,
come on digging now.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
One and only.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
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 to get to. You know, everybody
has a different definition for success, and I'm not here

(00:32):
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, 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

(00:54):
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 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

(01:19):
into some type of wall and nothing happens.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
You slither down. You know.

Speaker 1 (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 2 (01:34):
Well, there's some other PE's in life too.

Speaker 1 (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 2 (01:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
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 it.
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.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Do, but.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
A lot of 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

(02:35):
it's going 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 rized situation. On your
rise to the top. Pressure, but understanding that is what

(02:55):
it is is not going to change.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
That's it. There yourself, get ready for there to be pressure.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
The second thing I want you to understand is when
you receive this pressure, you have to persist.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
You got to stay at it. You got to develop
a dog illness. Hez A.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
There's a song how 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, and it occurred to me, said,

(03:43):
why must I 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 that cats and dogs are a lot of times enemies.
Now people have pets and have proven that if you

(04:05):
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 2 (04:19):
So. But the reason that this dog is so persistent towards.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
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. You got to
develop some dog in you now, because pressure takes some

(04:49):
fighting back. 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 explosions.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
So if you don't fight back to hold.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
It in, you understand pressure does most people in the
simple thing called pressure, the weight of what it 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

(05:22):
have to persist. You can the thought of giving up
can come, but you got to get it out. You
got to persist. 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 2 (05:40):
It's called perseverance.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
To persist means to insist, 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 proaction that you go towards it to
make it. You know, persist, you gotta be persistent. You

(06:06):
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. Perseverance simply means

(06:28):
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 to stay with it no

(06:50):
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. Keyword persistence insists you have
to insist that no matter what the pressure is, I'm
gonna stay with it.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
But then perseverance, if it goes wrong.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Man. You got to get in there and keep fighting.
But then, Lord have mercy. Nothing helps you handle the
three pece better than the fourth p You got to pray.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
You got to use prayer. You gotta talk to God.
You gotta use faith.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
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 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 the pressure. Prayer will help you stay persistent, and

(07:49):
Lord have mercy, Prayer will help you persevere them is
the faux peas.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
God gave that to me. I'm passing it on. Listening

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
