  Speaker 1: You know.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I used to say, Okay, God, you know, why is
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: all this happening to me? But as I've gotten older,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I understand that was the ingredients. I needed the ingredients
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: to be this cake. I needed all those ingredients stirred up.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I need all of that different flavors, the stuff that
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I didn't think tastes so good. All that stuff had
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: to come into the bowl in order for me to
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: get to where I am today. As much as I
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: did not like the taste of the ingredients.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Little did I know God was making this cake, not me.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: But what he did was and you've heard the old
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: saying God could turn lemons into lemonade.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Well that's what he was doing now.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: At the time, it all had a little funky lemonade
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: lemony flavor to it, with some other stuff in it too.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I didn't care for it. But little did I know
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: that I needed everything that happened to me, that happened
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: to me in the exact order that it happened, and
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: the exact array of things that happened for me to
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: have the knowledge I have today, the experience, the attitude,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: so I could turn around and share that information. Okay,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: got that out the way. This is what I want
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: to give to you today. I want you to understand
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: something that discipline determines your destiny, not your desire. Discipline
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: determines your destiny, not your desire. You've heard me say
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: this how many times on the show. Okay, here we
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: go again, Steve, I got it. Faith with our works
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: is dead. So let me tell you something. To be
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: a hard worker, you got to be disciplined. That's one
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: of the hardest lessons I'm trying to get through to
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: my sons. You're gonna throw yourself down a cliff if
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: you're not a young man or a man that possesses
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: discipline because they got something for undisciplined people.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: They got some.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Street laws for undisciplined people, and they got some federal
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: laws and state laws for undisciplined people. So that's why
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: them signs is outside on the freeway, we're gonna let
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: you go fast, But seventy is the limit.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Seventy fast enough.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Really, if you're disciplined enough of a person to leave
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: your house at the time you're supposed to leave your house,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: seventy miles per hour is absolutely enough. But if you're
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: an undisciplined person, if you don't have the wherewithal to
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: leave your house on time, to get ready to go
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: where you wanna go, see the desires where you wanna go,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the discipline is how you get there. You understand, you
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: can wanna go to see your family in California all
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: you want, but the flight leaves at one eighteen.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: You leave your house at twelve thirty.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: They told you you must check in one hour before
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: your flight. Now, if you ain't got the discipline to
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: get to the airport to check in one hour before
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: your flight, leaving your house forty five minutes before the
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: flight departs, what you think gonna happen?
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Your desire to go see.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Your family in La is going to be thwarted because
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: you lack the discipline to prepare yourself and get yourself
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: ready to do the things that you have to do
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: to make your desire come true. I'm telling you, discipline
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: determines your destiny, not your desire.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: You can write down a list of.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Stuff you wanna do all day, but if you don't
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: produce and show the discipline necessary to get there, what
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: you think gonna happen?
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Huh? Okay.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I wanna be rich, Okay, I wanna make four hundred
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: thousand a year. Okay, I wanna be the best player
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: that they is. Okay, but you don't want practice. See
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the cat that's disciplined enough to show up at practice,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: that's shooting jumpers when everybody gone home, that's the guy
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be the best. The guy that's never late
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: for practice, the guy to study the playbook, that's the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: guy that's gonna make it. Not the guy that's talking crack,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: got stalking that smack. I'm gonna make the Pro Bowl,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna make the All Star Team, I'm gonna be
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: All American. That's just what you're saying. But discipline determines
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: your destiny, not your desire. So now let's talk about
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: this discipline. What is that, really, Steve. That's your work ethic,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: that's your hunger, that's your wheel. Discipline is how hard
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: you're willing to demonstrate the attributes and the traits to
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: be what you want to be.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Did you hear me?
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: It is your willingness to conduct yourself in a manner
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: that is above and beyond what they say is necessary.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Now, this is a good example right here. Now.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: You can wanna be in the NFL all you want,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: but they got this thing called the NFL Combines where
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: they bring in some of the top players at every
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: position to come in and they gonna run a forty
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: yard dash, They're gonna do a standing broad jump, They're
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: gonna do a standing vertical leap. They gonna do drills,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: running drills, cutting drills. They can determine if a linebacker
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: got stiff hips by making him backpedal, point him in
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: one direction, and throw the football in another direction. How
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: does he turn his body? Now you can say you
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: can tell everybody at your college you want to play
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: pro football. You can tell everybody at your high school.
• 6:12

  Speaker 2: Let me tell you how excuses don't work with people
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: when they just trying to get when they trying to win.

  Speaker 2: In the NFL, the fact that you had a bad
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: day at the combine and you don't run your best
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: forties and you keep telling them you could do better,
