- 0:00Speaker 1: Come on, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody
- 0:07Speaker 1: you are listening to the voice, come on dig me now,
- 0:10Speaker 1: one and only Steve Harton got a radio show.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Okay, today is simple. I want to tell you. I
- 0:20Speaker 2: want to just talk to you about effort today. Just
- 0:24Speaker 2: about effort. You know, it's it's it's it's a word
- 0:29Speaker 2: that people use to describe sometimes trying. But what I've
- 0:35Speaker 2: found out about trying is trying is just a noble
- 0:39Speaker 2: way of saying you didn't get it done. I tried
- 0:44Speaker 2: when and then everybody go, well, he tried, he that
- 0:47Speaker 2: was the best. Well that's that's not exactly true, though,
- 0:52Speaker 2: that that's that's not exactly true. You are and I
- 0:55Speaker 2: want to talk to you about that because I don't
- 0:58Speaker 2: want you to be one of the people who just tried.
- 1:02Speaker 2: See trying, I mean, I gotta tell you to attempt something,
- 1:08Speaker 2: You're gonna have to first try, But I want you
- 1:11Speaker 2: to change your mindset from trying to getting it done.
- 1:17Speaker 3: See, that's a big difference.
- 1:19Speaker 2: I'm really more apt to listen to the person that
- 1:21Speaker 2: says to me, I'm gonna get it done. I'm gonna try.
- 1:25Speaker 2: What try does is it allows you to fail it's
- 1:28Speaker 2: the person that has the mindset that I'm gonna get
- 1:31Speaker 2: it done. It's the person who changes the complexion of things.
- 1:36Speaker 2: I'm gonna get it done. It's very different than I'm
- 1:38Speaker 2: gonna try.
- 1:40Speaker 3: You know. Look, man, I know this sounds a little.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Harsh, but you gotta stop feeding yourself these little old
- 1:47Speaker 2: wise sayings that ain't it was a valiant tribe. Hey man,
- 1:53Speaker 2: you talk to anybody that took second place in the
- 1:56Speaker 2: super Bowl and see how they feel about their valiant try.
- 2:00Speaker 3: The only way.
- 2:02Speaker 2: To gain God's real blessings is you have to try something.
- 2:09Speaker 3: Steve backpeddling, Now, listen to me close.
- 2:15Speaker 2: You have to put forth an effort to allow God
- 2:21Speaker 2: to put his finger on something to bless on your behalf.
- 2:27Speaker 2: You must start to attempt now insaying getting it done
- 2:32Speaker 2: and I'm gonna try. That's a different of two different
- 2:35Speaker 2: faiths to me that I'm just talking about me.
- 2:39Speaker 3: Now. You may be different. So I can't say this
- 2:42Speaker 3: about you, but I can say this about me.
- 2:46Speaker 2: If I say I'm gonna get it done, I have
- 2:50Speaker 2: a lot of faith in it. I Am going to
- 2:54Speaker 2: get it done because I just don't see failure as
- 2:57Speaker 2: an option. A lot of times now if somebody says
- 3:01Speaker 2: to me, like the Olympic team invited me out to
- 3:04Speaker 2: curl one day, which is throw these stones on the ice,
- 3:08Speaker 2: if you're not familiar with this very simple thing, and.
- 3:11Speaker 3: So I said, man, I'd like to give that a try.
- 3:17Speaker 2: I went in full well knowing I may not come
- 3:21Speaker 2: away from this little curling lesson.
- 3:24Speaker 3: As a person who could make the Olympic team.
- 3:28Speaker 2: I just wanted to try it because I thought it
- 3:30Speaker 2: looked cool, and I always wanted to get it done well.
- 3:32Speaker 2: I failed twice. I threw a stone completely into the
- 3:37Speaker 2: other lane. I lost that little ice shoe, it shot
- 3:41Speaker 2: out under me. But you know what, I kept trying though.
- 3:46Speaker 2: I kept trying until I got four of them stones
- 3:49Speaker 2: in that circle right where I aim. But now had
- 3:53Speaker 2: I given up after I failed, after I threw that
- 3:57Speaker 2: stone in the other lane, after I shot my shoe
- 4:00Speaker 2: down all the way to the bottom side, the little
- 4:02Speaker 2: ice shoe they.
- 4:03Speaker 3: Give you, I never did it.
- 4:05Speaker 2: But because I was trying, something got me together a
- 4:10Speaker 2: little bit because of my effort, and it caused me
- 4:13Speaker 2: not to fall the next time, not to throw it
- 4:15Speaker 2: in the other lane, not to shoot my shoe to
- 4:17Speaker 2: the back of the wall.
- 4:20Speaker 3: All of a sudden, my trying became something.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Now had I stayed out there and it wasn't so cold,
- 4:27Speaker 2: and I went.
- 4:27Speaker 3: Back week after week after week after week. I promise
- 4:31Speaker 3: you I could get it done.
- 4:35Speaker 2: I could at least know how to compete in a
- 4:38Speaker 2: game of curling.
- 4:39Speaker 3: Might not be the best.
- 4:41Speaker 2: I might not win the championship, but I could have
- 4:44Speaker 2: got it done to the point where I could have
- 4:45Speaker 2: competed in a game of curling. So sometimes if you
- 4:49Speaker 2: scared to say I'm gonna get it done, just go
- 4:51Speaker 2: out there and get started. You know, learn from every
- 4:56Speaker 2: attempt that you make. See, don't quit righting yourself off
- 5:00Speaker 2: as a failure every time something don't go right. And
- 5:03Speaker 2: when I fail on that ice, I could have said, man,
- 5:05Speaker 2: I can't curl, But hold up, man, I'm watching four
- 5:08Speaker 2: other women out here curl, four of the dudes out
- 5:10Speaker 2: here curl, the little kids out here curling.
- 5:12Speaker 3: Hold up, Pardner, you know, man.
- 5:14Speaker 2: So I learned when I threw that stone on the
- 5:17Speaker 2: other ice, when I failed, when when my shoe shot off,
- 5:21Speaker 2: I learned from every attempt a little bit more about it.
- 5:26Speaker 2: And then I said to myself one point in time. Man,
- 5:30Speaker 2: I'm gonna get this stone in that circle. I'm gonna
- 5:32Speaker 2: get this stone in this circle. And guess what I
- 5:37Speaker 2: got it done. Now what you're saying to me, Steve,
- 5:41Speaker 2: I'm saying to you that you gotta get started.
- 5:44Speaker 3: That you got to put forth an effort.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Give God something to bless Oh God, bless me, Oh God,
- 5:49Speaker 2: bless me.
- 5:50Speaker 3: Bless you?
- 5:50Speaker 2: What?
- 5:51Speaker 3: Bless you? Where? Bless you? How?
- 5:54Speaker 2: Stop basing your results on what you're thinking. You gotta
- 5:57Speaker 2: think higher. You get God in your life, man, He
- 6:00Speaker 2: allows you to think higher, bigger, better more. I was
- 6:05Speaker 2: sitting up in my debt. I came up with a
- 6:07Speaker 2: plan to get out of debt in five years. I
- 6:10Speaker 2: came up with this plan, right, I was sitting up
- 6:12Speaker 2: and I was tripping on it. Now, I said, wait
- 6:14Speaker 2: a minute, man, hold up, this is what I came
- 6:17Speaker 2: up with.
- 6:17Speaker 3: I said.
- 6:18Speaker 2: God created heaven in earth, all of it, the mountains,
- 6:25Speaker 2: the sky, the valleys, the oceans, trees, the birds, the.
- 6:30Speaker 3: Indian Ocean, all of it.
- 6:32Speaker 2: Made all of it in six days, and then he
- 6:37Speaker 2: rested on the seven So why am I taking to
- 6:41Speaker 2: God the five year plan? If he can create heaven
- 6:46Speaker 2: and earth.
- 6:48Speaker 3: In six days.
- 6:49Speaker 2: Why am I walking in there talking about help me
- 6:51Speaker 2: in five years? How is it gonna take God five
- 6:56Speaker 2: years to getting me out of debt?
- 6:59Speaker 3: And he made heaven on earth in six days? Do
- 7:01Speaker 3: the math?
- 7:02Speaker 2: Hell, man, I ain't that big. You ain't that big.
- 7:06Speaker 2: You ain't in that much trouble. I ain't in that
- 7:09Speaker 2: much trouble. See, God got a way of showing you
- 7:12Speaker 2: some things, man, but it's gonna take some faith. And
- 7:15Speaker 2: faith gonna take some effort on your part. Man, get
- 7:17Speaker 2: out and do something. Man, you God will bless you
- 7:21Speaker 2: a little bit and he give you a little bit
- 7:22Speaker 2: more courage, and then all them attempts you making is
- 7:25Speaker 2: gonna and all this so I'll try. You know what
- 7:27Speaker 2: that turned into. I'm gonna get it done. And at
- 7:29Speaker 2: the end of the day, that's what you have to do,
- 7:32Speaker 2: because trying to pay your rent and not paying your
- 7:35Speaker 2: rent is two different things. You can you can try
- 7:39Speaker 2: to play your pay your rent, or you can get
- 7:40Speaker 2: it done. Now, how long you think you gonna stay
- 7:43Speaker 2: in that house trying? You got to go with the
- 7:45Speaker 2: mindset of getting it done. And if you can put
- 7:48Speaker 2: some stuff out there and give God a chance to
- 7:50Speaker 2: put his finger on and bless it for you, the
- 7:52Speaker 2: most stuff he can do for you. Quit looking around
- 7:54Speaker 2: what everybody else got, and gonna get some.
- 7:56Speaker 3: Of it for yourself. Okay, all right here listening into
