• 0:14
  Speaker 1: know this week, I've just been on it, So today

  Speaker 1: is no different. I'm telling you, I've just reinvigorated myself.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I'm more determined to share the principles of success. I'm
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: more determined to help and guide and teach as many
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: people as I can the things that I've learned. And
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, man, I've been through it. I have really
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: been through it. I kid you not. You know. I
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: used to say, Okay, God, you know, why is all
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: this happening to me? But as I've gotten older, I
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: understand that was the ingredients. I needed the ingredients to
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: be this cake. I needed all those ingredients stirred up.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I need all of that different flavors, the stuff that
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I didn't think tastes so good. All that stuff had
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: to come into the bowl in order for me to
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: get to where I am today. As much as I
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: did not like the taste of the ingredients, little did
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I know God was making this cake, not me. But
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: what he did was and you've heard the old saying,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: God could turn lemons into lemonade. Well, that's what he
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: was doing now. At the time, it all had a
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: little funky lemonade lemony flavor to it, with some other
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: stuff in it too. I didn't care for it. But
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: little did I know that I needed everything that happened
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to me, that happened to me, in the exact order
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: that it happened, and the exact array of things that
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: happened for me to have the knowledge I have today,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the experience, the attitude, so I could turn around and
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: share that information. Okay, got that out the way. This
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: is what I want to give to you today. I
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: want you to understand something that discipline determines your destiny,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: not your desire. Discipline determines your destiny, not your desire.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: You've heard me say this how many times on the show. Okay,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: here we go against Eeve. I got it. Faith without
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: works is dead. But let me tell you something. To
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: be a hard worker, you got to be disciplined. That's
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: one of the hardest lessons I'm trying to get through
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to my sons. You're gonna throw yourself down a cliff
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: if you're not a young man or a man that
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: possesses discipline because they got something for undisciplined people. They
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: got some street laws for undisciplined people, and they got
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: some federal laws and state laws for undisciplined people. So
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: that's why them signs is outside on the freeway, we're
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: gonna let you go fast, But seventy is the limit.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Seventy fast enough. Really, if you're disciplined enough of a
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: person to leave your house at the time you're supposed
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: to leave your house, seventy miles per hour is absolutely enough.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: But if you're an undisciplined person, if you don't have
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the wherewithal to leave your house on time, to get
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: ready to go where you wanna go, see the desires
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: where you wanna go, the discipline is how you get there.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: You understand, you can wanna go to see your family
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: in California all you want, but the flight leaves at
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: one eighteen. You leave your house at twelve thirty. They
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: told you you must check in one hour before your flight. Now,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: if you ain't got the discipline to get to the
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: airport to check in one hour before your flight, leaving
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: your house forty five minutes before the flight departs, what
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: you think gonna happen? Your desire to go see your
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: family in La is going to be thwarted because you
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: lack the discipline to prepare yourself and get yourself ready
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to do the things that you have to do to
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: make your desires come true. I'm telling you, discipline determines
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: your destiny, not your desire. You can write down a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: list of stuff you wanna do all day, but if
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: you don't produce and show the discipline necessary to get there,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: what you think gonna happen? Huh? Okay. I wanna be rich, Okay,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I wanna make four hundred thousand a year. Okay, I
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: wanna be the best player that they is. Okay, but
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: you don't want practice. See the cat that's disciplined enough
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: to show up at practice, that's shooting jumpers when everybody
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: gone home, that's the guy that's gonna be the best.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: The guy that's never late for practice, the guy that
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: study the playbook, that's the guy that's gonna make it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Not the guy that's talking crack, got stalking that smack.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna make the Pro Bowl, I'm gonna make the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: All Star Team, I'm gonna be All American. That's just
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: what you're saying. But discipline determines your destiny, not your desire.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: So now let's talk about this discipline. What is that, really, Steve.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: That's your work ethic, that's your hunger, that's your will.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Discipline is how hard you're willing to demonstrate the attributes
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and the traits to be what you want to be.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Did you hear me? It is your willingness to conduct
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: yourself in a manner that is above and beyond what
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: they say is necessary. Now, this is a good example
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: right here. Now. You can want to be in the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: NFL all you want, but they got this thing called
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the NFL Combines where they bring in some of the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: top players at every position to come in and they
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: gonna run a forty yard dash, They're gonna do a
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: standing broad jump, They're gonna do a standing vertical leap.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: They gonna do drills, running drills, cutting drills. They can
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: determine if a line back of God stiff hips by
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: making him backpedal, point him in one direction and throw
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the football in another direction. How does he turn his body?
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Now you can say you can tell everybody at your
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: college you want to play pro football. You can tell
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: everybody at your high school you can tell them in
• 6:13

• 6:24
  Speaker 1: excuses don't work with people when they just trying to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: get when they trying to win. In the NFL, the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: fact that you had a bad day at the combine
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and you don't run your best forties and you keep
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: telling them you could do better, they don't want to
• 6:37
