- 0:11Speaker 1: only Steve Harvey got a radio show. You know this week,
- 0:14Speaker 1: I just been on it, So today is no different.
- 0:18Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I've just reinvigorated myself. I'm more determined
- 0:23Speaker 1: to share the principles of success. I'm more determined to
- 0:28Speaker 1: help and guide and teach as many people as I
- 0:32Speaker 1: can the things that I've learned. And I mean, man,
- 0:35Speaker 1: I've been through it. I have really been through it.
- 0:37Speaker 1: I kid you not.
- 0:38Speaker 2: You know.
- 0:38Speaker 1: I used to say, Okay, God, you know, why is
- 0:41Speaker 1: all this happening to me? But as I've gotten older,
- 0:44Speaker 1: I understand that was the ingredients. I needed the ingredients
- 0:49Speaker 1: to be this cake. I needed all those ingredients stirred up.
- 0:53Speaker 1: I need all of that different flavors, the stuff that
- 0:56Speaker 1: I didn't think tastes so good. All that stuff had
- 0:59Speaker 1: to come into the bowl in order for me to
- 1:01Speaker 1: get to where I am today. As much as I
- 1:05Speaker 1: did not like the taste of the ingredients, little did
- 1:09Speaker 1: I know God was making this cake, not me. But
- 1:13Speaker 1: what he did was and you've heard the old saying
- 1:16Speaker 1: God could turn lemons into lemonade.
- 1:20Speaker 2: Well that's what he was doing now.
- 1:22Speaker 1: At the time, it all had a little funky lemonade
- 1:26Speaker 1: lemony flavor to it, with some other stuff in it too.
- 1:30Speaker 2: I didn't care for it.
- 1:32Speaker 1: But little did I know that I needed everything that
- 1:35Speaker 1: happened to me, that happened to me in the exact
- 1:37Speaker 1: order that it happened, and the exact array of things
- 1:41Speaker 1: that happened for me to have the knowledge I have today,
- 1:44Speaker 1: the experience, the attitude, so I could turn around and
- 1:50Speaker 1: share that information. Okay, got that out the way. This
- 1:54Speaker 1: is what I want to give to you today. I
- 1:57Speaker 1: want you to understand something that discipline determines your destiny,
- 2:03Speaker 1: not your desire. Discipline determines your destiny, not your desire.
- 2:10Speaker 1: You've heard me say this how many times on the show. Okay,
- 2:12Speaker 1: here we go again, Steve, I got it. Faith without
- 2:16Speaker 1: works is dead. But let me tell you something. To
- 2:20Speaker 1: be a hard worker, you got to be disciplined. That's
- 2:23Speaker 1: one of the hardest lessons I'm trying to get through
- 2:25Speaker 1: to my sons. You're gonna throw yourself down a cliff
- 2:29Speaker 1: if you're not a young man or a man that
- 2:32Speaker 1: possesses discipline, because they got something for undisciplined people. They
- 2:37Speaker 1: got some street laws for undisciplined people, and they got
- 2:41Speaker 1: some federal laws and state laws for undisciplined people. So
- 2:45Speaker 1: that's why them signs is outside on the freeway, we're
- 2:48Speaker 1: gonna let you go fast.
- 2:50Speaker 2: But seventy is the limit. Seventy fast enough.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Really, if you're disciplined enough of a person to leave
- 2:57Speaker 1: your house at the time you're supposed to leave your house,
- 3:00Speaker 1: seventy miles per hour is absolutely enough. But if you're
- 3:04Speaker 1: an undisciplined person, if you don't have the wherewithal to
- 3:07Speaker 1: leave your house on time, to get ready to go
- 3:11Speaker 1: where you wanna go, see the desires where you wanna go,
- 3:15Speaker 1: The discipline is how you get there. You understand, you
- 3:19Speaker 1: can wanna go to see your family in California all
- 3:22Speaker 1: you want, But the flight leaves at one eighteen.
- 3:27Speaker 2: You leave your house at twelve thirty.
- 3:29Speaker 1: They told you you must check in one hour before
- 3:33Speaker 1: your flight. Now, if you ain't got the discipline to
- 3:36Speaker 1: get to the airport to check in one hour before
- 3:39Speaker 1: your flight, leaving your house forty five minutes before the
- 3:43Speaker 1: flight departs, what.
- 3:44Speaker 2: You think gonna happen? Your desire to go see.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Your family in LA is going to be thwarted because
- 3:51Speaker 1: you lack the discipline to prepare yourself and get yourself
- 3:56Speaker 1: ready to do the things that you have to do to.
- 3:59Speaker 2: Make your discire come true.
- 4:01Speaker 1: I'm telling you, discipline determines your destiny, not your desire.
- 4:06Speaker 1: You can write down a list of stuff you wanna
- 4:08Speaker 1: do all day, but if you don't produce and show
- 4:11Speaker 1: the discipline necessary to get there, what you.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Think gonna happen? Huh? Okay.
- 4:18Speaker 1: I wanna be rich, Okay, I wanna make four hundred
- 4:22Speaker 1: thousand a year. Okay, I wanna be the best player
- 4:27Speaker 1: that they is. Okay, but you don't want practice. See
- 4:31Speaker 1: the cat that's disciplined enough to show up at practice,
- 4:34Speaker 1: that's shooting jumpers when everybody gone home, that's the guy
- 4:37Speaker 1: that's gonna be the best. The guy that's never late
- 4:40Speaker 1: for practice, the guy that study the playbook, that's the
- 4:43Speaker 1: guy that's gonna make it. Not the guy that's talking crack,
- 4:47Speaker 1: got stalking that smack. I'm gonna make the Pro Bowl,
- 4:49Speaker 1: I'm gonna make the All Star Team, I'm gonna be
- 4:51Speaker 1: All American. That's just what you're saying. But discipline determines
- 4:56Speaker 1: your destiny, not your desire. So no talk about this discipline.
- 5:01Speaker 1: What is that, really, Steve. That's your work ethic, that's
- 5:05Speaker 1: your hunger, that's your wheel. Discipline is how hard you're
- 5:10Speaker 1: willing to demonstrate the attributes and the traits to be
- 5:17Speaker 1: what you want to be.
- 5:19Speaker 2: Did you hear me?
- 5:21Speaker 1: It is your willingness to conduct yourself in a manner
- 5:25Speaker 1: that is above and beyond what they say is necessary.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Now, this is a good example right here. Now.
- 5:33Speaker 1: You can want to be in the NFL all you want,
- 5:35Speaker 1: but they got this thing called the NFL Combines where
- 5:39Speaker 1: they bring in some of the top players at every
- 5:41Speaker 1: position to come in and they gonna run a forty
- 5:44Speaker 1: yard dash, They're gonna do a standing broad jump, They're
- 5:49Speaker 1: gonna do a standing vertical leap. They gonna do drills,
- 5:55Speaker 1: running drills, cutting drills. They can determine if a linebacker
- 5:59Speaker 1: got stiffed hips by making him backpedal, point him in
- 6:02Speaker 1: one direction and throw the football in another direction, how
- 6:05Speaker 1: does he turn his body. Now you can say you
- 6:08Speaker 1: can tell everybody at your college you want to play
- 6:10Speaker 1: pro football.
- 6:11Speaker 2: You can tell everybody at your high school.
- 6:12Speaker 1: You can tell them in pee wee you wanna play
- 6:14Speaker 1: pro football, but they got tests for you though. It's
- 6:17Speaker 1: called the combines. Now you get out here and you
- 6:19Speaker 1: have a bad combine day, Ain't nobody trying to hear that.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Let me tell you how excuses don't work with people
- 6:25Speaker 1: when they just trying to get when they trying to win.
- 6:28Speaker 1: In the NFL, the fact that you had a bad
- 6:31Speaker 1: day at the combine and you don't run your best
- 6:33Speaker 1: forties and you keep telling them you could do better,
- 6:36Speaker 1: they don't want to hear that. Because see, what ain't
- 6:38Speaker 1: nobody gonna pay you for is to play on Sunday.
- 6:41Speaker 2: And that's one of your bad days.
- 6:43Speaker 1: We paying you to play on Sundays, but because you
- 6:47Speaker 1: keep having these bad days, because you ain't disciplined enough
- 6:51Speaker 1: to put in the work to make sure that your
- 6:54Speaker 1: maximum can be called upon at any time. Now you
- 6:57Speaker 1: at the combine with some slow times that go on
- 7:00Speaker 1: your record, you had to combine. You don't jump as
- 7:03Speaker 1: high as you did when you was at the gym class. Well,
- 7:06Speaker 1: hold up, man, this is show day now in the NFL.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Sunday is show day. What they can't run the risk
- 7:12Speaker 1: of is paying you your money and your bad day
- 7:15Speaker 1: happen to be on Sundays after we didn't cut your check.
- 7:18Speaker 2: No, no, no.
- 7:19Speaker 1: We looking for people who limit them bad days, who
- 7:22Speaker 1: got the discipline to work hard, to make an effort
- 7:25Speaker 1: for it. You understand what I'm saying to your folks,
- 7:28Speaker 1: Please understand this. Discipline determines your destiny, not your desire.
- 7:34Speaker 2: If you can want it all you.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Want, but if you ain't working, if you ain't grinding,
- 7:39Speaker 1: if you ain't hurting, if you ain't sweating real bad,
- 7:43Speaker 1: if you always somewhere, got to chill, You got to
- 7:47Speaker 1: have a cold one, you got to smoke one, You
- 7:50Speaker 1: got to do all them things. Can I tell you
- 7:51Speaker 1: something you ain't gonna make it. Discipline determines your destiny,
- 7:57Speaker 1: not your desire.
