Speaker 1 (00:26):
To I don't Joy? Yeah, Joy. They show you gotta
(00:59):
do that love turn turn. I got to turn the
(01:42):
mouth turn. You probably got to turn the mouth turn
out a wad of the money up looking. Come come on,
you'll think that. I sure will.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on,
dig me now one It only Steve Harley 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 principles of success.
(02:24):
I'm more determined to help and guide and teach as
many people as I can the things that I've learned.
And I mean, man, I've been through it. I have
really been through it. I kid you not. You know.
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
(02:47):
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
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
(03:08):
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
was doing now. At the time, it all had a
little funky lemonade lemony flavor to it, with some other
stuff in it too. I didn't care for it. But
(03:30):
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
(03:53):
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 on the
show Okay, here we go against eeve. I got it.
(04:13):
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.
So that's why them signs is outside on the freeway,
We're gonna let you go fast, But seventy is the limit.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Seventy fast enough.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Really, if you're disciplined enough of a person to leave
your house at the time you're supposed 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,
(05:13):
the discipline is how you get there. You understand you
can wanna go to see your family in California all
you want, but the flight leaves at one eighteen. You
leave your house at twelve thirty.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
They told you.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
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
you think gonna happen? Your desire to go see your
family in la is going to be thwarted because you
(05:50):
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. 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
(06:11):
get there, what you think gonna happen?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Okay? 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
(06:36):
that's gonna be the best. The guy that's never late
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
(06:59):
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 2 (07:19):
It is your willingness to conduct yourself in a manner
that is above and beyond what they say is necessary. Now,
this is a good example right here.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You can want to 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're
gonna do a standing vertical leap. They gonna do drills,
(07:53):
running drills, cutting drills. They can determine if a lineback
of gods stiff hips by making point him in one
direction and throw the football in another direction, how does
he turn his body? 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 Peewee you wanna play pro football. But
(08:13):
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. The fact that you had a bad day
at the combine and you don't run your best forties
and you keep telling them you could do better, they
(08:35):
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 keep having these bad days,
because 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 the combine with some
(08:57):
slow times that go on your record. You have 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 they can't run the risk of is paying you
your money and your bad day happen to be on Sundays.
After We don't cut your check. No, no, no, We
(09:18):
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
want it all you want, But if you ain't working,
if you ain't grinding, if you ain't hurting, if you
(09:40):
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.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Ain't gonna make it. Discipline determines your destiny, not your desire.
