  Welcome back to the Quote of the Day Show. I am your host, Shawn Croxton, at seancroxton.com. Thank you so much for tuning in, my friend. A good and happy Monday to you. We got two speakers on the show today. I think it's our first time doing this with two speakers. We got Steve Harvey and LeBron James on the show. Let's start with LeBron. This talk popped up in my Instagram feed last week, and I was like, how have I not seen this before? And so I saved it, and I was like, this is really good. This is very powerful. I played it in book club last week, and like, like, tears were shedding and stuff. So I was like, I gotta play this on the show. Steve is gonna talk about how your journey to your goal is probably gonna be a long one, and the only

• 1:05Speaker 01

  way you're gonna get there is step by step by step, little by little. You know, we get people talking about it's gonna be a quantum leap to your goal. It's usually not a quantum leap. It's usually just putting one foot in front of the other, and sometimes you stumble backwards, but then you get up and you keep on going. You have to be willing to celebrate the small wins. If you don't celebrate along the way, it gets boring, it gets arduous, and so make sure you are celebrating your progress frequently, because that's what keeps you going. Steve Harvey, LeBron James, coming up.

• 1:45Speaker 00

  Well, here's the deal. When you have a massive goal, something that's big,

• 1:54Speaker 00

  you must first make it something that not reaching it is unacceptable. Me not being who God made me to be, me not living my dream was unacceptable for me. Now, when you get faced with a challenge like living in your car for three years, what happened was I had, I had a dream that was so big, my dreams were bigger than all my problems. You know what I'm saying? See? If your dreams aren't really big enough, and your problems are bigger than your dreams, then your problems will be bigger than your dreams. But if your dreams are so big,

• 2:37Speaker 00

  I had no problem that I was not willing to endure to get to my dream. Now, the key, you said it though, was step by step. Remember this saying, inch by inch, anything's a cinch. Inch by inch. See, so you gotta set incremental goals along the way. On your way to, let's say you wanna be a millionaire. But let's say you only make five thousand dollars a year right now, but you want to be a millionaire. Then you have got to take whatever you did to make five thousand dollars and duplicate it, so you can make ten. But when you make ten, that should be as minor celebration. Then when you make twenty,

• 3:20Speaker 00

  that should be another minor celebration. Don't stay frustrated because you haven't reached the million. Cause it take a long time to make a million dollars. But let's just say you're making two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. There's another celebration you should have. So you have to enjoy the journey, because the journey is not going to change. If you wait until you reach your goal to celebrate, you're gonna be, it's mentally debilitating. So you have to have monumental steps along the way. And just make inch by inch, anything's a cinch. Set very doable goals as you're trying to reach the impossible thing. Me being a TV star,

• 4:04Speaker 00

  from where I was, was an impossible thing. And everybody told me that. Every single body I knew told me, that's impossible. A television star.

• 4:17Speaker 00

  You go work with your father and your brothers for construction. So when I was in high school, I worked construction with my father. I fucking hated it. I was going to fuck, I'm digging holes and fucking carrying buckets of tar. I don't want to do this shit. It's good money right here. I kept looking on TV, man. You know, first time I saw, first time I saw a black person on TV in the United States. When he came on TV, all the black people went inside to watch this black man on TV. Cause no black man had ever been on TV in America and spoke.

• 4:50Speaker 02

  Well, we gonna start off like this, um. If you somebody growing up without a mom, without a dad, without siblings, without a passion, without a goal, without life in general, bro, it's not over for you. The man above never gives us more than we can handle as individuals. No matter if you're a female, you're a male, don't matter who you are in life. Everyone has a purpose. You just have to find that purpose and then tap into that purpose. You're gonna need somebody. None of us can do it by ourselves. And this is a true testament of the last thirty days that we've seen someone not be able to do it by himself. Lock in, believe in what you believe in. Nobody else matter.

• 5:35Speaker 02

  You have to hold yourself accountable. You have to hold yourself to your truth. You have to hold yourself to your beliefs. And always believe in the power of the man above. Because nobody in the history of life been able to do it by themselves. Nobody. Don't worry about the haters, they ain't shit. Don't worry about the naysayers, cause they ain't shit. Whenever you feeling away about yourself, you look in the mirror and you say, you are the only thing that matter.

• 6:06Speaker 02

  There's a good quote by Theodore Roosevelt that I always believe in and always look at. It's called "The Man in the Arena." And the basis, the basis of the quote is about, all the doubters and the naysayers can say everything that they want to say, but they have never stepped inside the arena. So they don't even know what it feels like to have blood, sweat and tears. So how can they tell you what the hell to do if they've never done it?

• 6:30Speaker 02

  Yes. At the end of the day, be true, be loyal, be perseverant, and just love yourself, man. King James signing off.
