  Speaker 1: Come on, I sure will. Good morning, everybody. You're listening
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: to The Voice. Come on, dig me now. One and
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: only Steve Harvey got a radio show today. I want
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to just share something with you along your way. to
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: wherever it is you're trying to get to. You know,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: everybody has a different definition for success. And I'm not
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: here to tell you what yours should be. I mean,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: please pursue whatever you think success is. Aim as high
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: as you can, though. That's for sure. My father used
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: to say all the time, I'm sure you all have
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: heard it in different variations, but he used to always say,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: aim for the moon. Just in case you miss, you'll
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: still be amongst the stars. Just say that to me
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: all the time. So that always was in me to
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: aim high. Now, he wasn't saying aim with the intent
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to miss. He was just saying aim. In case you miss,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: you'll still be amongst the stars if you aim for
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the moon. But if you just aim for that first
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: flow window and you miss it, you know, usually run
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: into some type of wall and nothing happens. You slither down.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: You know, in my book, Act Like a Lady, Think
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Like a Man, I told people that men love three ways.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: They profess, they provide, they protect. And that's the core
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: essence of a man's love. Well, there's some other P's
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: in life, too. The number one thing you have to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: understand about trying to be successful. And I guess I
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: call this the four P's. I may come up with
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: five along the way. I don't know. I'm just talking
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: as it's given to me. So. I'm going to start
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: by saying that these are the four P's of success
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that you have to get ready for. Number one is pressure.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: A lot of it is applied by the circumstance of
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: what you're trying to go for and what you're trying
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to do. But a lot of it also is self-imposed pressure.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: It's what you put on yourself to make it. It's
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a sense of urgency. It's a sense of necessity, but
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: pressure is the first thing I want you to be
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: ready for. And pressure comes in a lot of different forms,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: but it's going to be pressured as an old saying
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: that pressure bust a pipe. See, that's why most people
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: turn around because of the pressure of trying to be successful.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I want you to get it in your mind that
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: is going to be a pressurized situation on your rise
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to the top. Pressure. But understand that that is what
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: it is, is not going to change. That's it. Prepare yourself.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Get ready for there to be pressure. The second thing
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I want you to understand is when you receive this pressure,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you have to persist. You got to stay at it.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: You got to develop a doggedness. There's a song out.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: It says, why must I feel like that? Why must
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I chase the cat? Nothing but the dog in me.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: That's a funny line in that song. Because really, I
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: was thinking about it one day. I was humming it.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: And it occurred to me. It said, why must I
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: feel like that? Why must I chase the cat? Nothing
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: but the dog in me. And, you know, now you
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: could take it in the literal sense that cat chases
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the dog because it's innately, it's in his spirit that
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: cats and dogs are a lot of times enemies. Now
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: people have pets and have proven that if you show
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: love on both sides, they can exist. And that happens too.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: But naturally, innately, when your cat goes by a dog,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: your dog don't recognize him. There's some barking going on.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about just walking through the neighborhood or something. So,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: but the reason that this dog, is so persistent towards
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: this cat. It just causes in him. It's innately in him.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: And what I'm saying to you, just using that as
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: an analogy, is that you got to be persistent in
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: that you got to develop some dog in you now
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: because pressure takes some fighting back. See, if you don't
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: fight back against pressure, pressure busts the pipe. So what
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you think it'll do to you? Pressure crack walls. Pressure
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: cause explosions. So if you don't fight back to hold
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: it in, you understand pressure does most people in. The
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: simple thing called pressure. The weight of what it feels
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: like to want to be successful every single day over
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and over and over and over and over. It's just
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: too much pressure. people crack. You got to persist. You
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: have to persist. The thought of giving up can come,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: but you got to get it out. You got to persist.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: The next thing I want you to think about is
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: another something that I've been thinking about for years and
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: learned for years. It's called perseverance. To persist means to
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: to insist. The key word in persist is insist. You
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: must insist that this is going to happen. Now, the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: persist I'm assuming means it's a proaction. It's some type
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: of proaction that you go towards it to make it persist.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: You've got to be persistent. You've got to be constantly
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: at it. Insisting that it happens, you've got to be
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: constantly at it. But the next thing I want you
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: to remember is perseverance. Perseverance. Perseverance is important. Perseverance means
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: that when you've done your best, when you've persisted, when
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you're fighting back against the pressure, perseverance simply means I'm
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: going to hang in here. If a crack come in
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the pipe, I'm going to hang in there. If the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: pipe busts, I'm going to keep going. If I got
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: to put duct tape, mud, whatever I got to put
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: on this thing, man, I'm going to use perseverance. I'm
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: going to stay with it no matter what. So we're
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: looking at the three things again. You got to understand
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: that it's going to be pressure, that you're going to
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: have to persist. Key word in persistence, insist. You have
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to insist that no matter what the pressure is, I'm
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: going to stay with it. But the perseverance, if it
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: goes wrong, man, you got to get in there and
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: keep fighting. But then, Lord, have mercy. Nothing helps you
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: handle the three P's better than the fourth P. You
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: got to pray. You got to use prayer. You got
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: to talk to God. You got to use faith. You
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: got to have some conferences with him late at night,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: early in the morning, in the middle of the afternoon,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: when you're on the train, when you're driving. You got
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: to talk to God, man. You got to get yourself
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: some help along the way. Nothing is bigger than prayer.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: There is nothing bigger than prayer. Prayer will help you
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: overcome the pressure. Prayer will help you stay persistent. And
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Lord have mercy. Prayer will help you persevere. Them is
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the four P's. God gave that to me. I'm passing
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: it on. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
