ON THE INSIDE – Master Your Inner World for Outer Success · Motivational Podcast

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Failure is created within the person. It is always an
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: inside job. We cannot determine what will come our way.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: We can't control the hands were dealt, only how we
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: play the cards. A man is not defeated by his opponents,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: but by himself. The greatest battle you wage against failure
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: occurs on the inside, not the outside. True contentment comes
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: from having a positive attitude. It means expecting the best
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: in everything, not the worst, remaining upbeat even when you
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: get beat up, seeing solutions in every problem, not problems
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: in every solution, believing in yourself even when others don't,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: and holding on to hope even when others say it's hopeless,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: no matter what happens to you. A positive attitude comes
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: from within. Your circumstances and your contentment are unrelated. Failure
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: is an inside job, and so is success. If you
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: want to achieve, you have to win the war in
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: your own thinking first. You can't let failure outside of
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: you get inside of you. You certainly can't control the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: length of your life, but you can control its width
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and debt. You can't control the contour of your face,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: but you can control its expression. You can't control the weather,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: but you can control the atmosphere of your mind. Why
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: worry about things you can't control when you can keep
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: yourself busy controlling the things that depend on you. There's
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: really only one solution to the gridlock you find on
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the failure freeway, and that's to wake up and find
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the exit. Every failure you experience is a fork in
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the road. It's an opportunity to take the right action,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: learn from your mistakes, and begin again. But no matter
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: what you've experienced, remember this, there are people who had
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: it better than you but who have done worse. And
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: there are people who have had it worse than you,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: but who've done better. The circumstances really have nothing to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: do with getting over your personal history. Pastors can make
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you bitter or better. The choice is yours. You choose
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: which track you will head down toward breakdown or breakthrough.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: It is a turning point, but you determine which way
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you will turn. If you hear people continually talk about
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: how much harder they've had it than anyone else, chances
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: are they are allowing themselves to be held hostage by
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: their past. Excuses, no matter how strong, never lead to achievement.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: No matter how much I know or think, I know
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I can learn from this situation. The only way to
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: become better is to take steps forward, even shaky ones
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: they cause you to fall down. Little progress is better
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: than no progress at all. Success comes in taking many
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: small steps. You don't have to be great to start,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: but you have to start to be great. It may
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: sound like I'm making light of what happened to you
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: in the past. I'm not. I know that people suffer
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: genuine tragedies in this imperfect world. They lose children, spouses,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: parents and friends, sometimes under horrible circumstances. People contract cancer,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: multiple sclerosis, AIDS, and other debilitating diseases. They suffer unspeakable
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: abuses at the hands of others. All of those things
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: are true, but tragedies don't have to stop the person
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: from possessing a positive outlook, being productive, and living life
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: to the fullest. One of the greatest hindrances to living
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: life in the present is regret. It SAPs a person's
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: energy and leaves little that enables him or her to
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: do anything positive. Anyone who doesn't get past the problem
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: or the pain of the past eventually becomes bitter. It
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: is the inevitable consequence of not processing through old injuries
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and tragedies. Nothing can motivate a person like adversity. If
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: you can step back from the negative circumstances you face
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: in life, you'll be able to discover that there are
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: almost always positive benefits to your negative experiences. You simply
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: have to be willing to look for them. In the
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: game of life, it's a good idea to have a
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: few early losses, which relieves you of the prasure of
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: trying to maintain an un defeated season. Always measure an
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: obstacle next to the size of the dream that you're pursuing.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: It's all in how you look at it. Try and
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: you can find the good in every bad experience. Today
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: may be your day to turn the hurts of your
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: past into a breakthrough for the future. Don't allow anything
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: from your personal history to keep holding you hostage. Most
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: of us do not like to look inside ourselves for
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the same reason we don't like to open a letter
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: that has bad news. Most people see all the bad
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: and deny the good, or they see all the good
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: and deny the bad. To reach your potential, you must
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: see both. Remember to change your world, you must first
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: change yourself. Change yourself and your world changes, find the
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: benefit every bad experience. Life is either a daring adventure
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: or nothing. If you are succeeding in everything you do,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: then you're probably not pushing yourself hard enough, and that
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: means you're not taking enough risks. If at first you
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: do succeed, try something harder, make failure your best friend.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Failure is either your friend or your enemy, and you
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: are the one who chooses which. Ironically, the more you
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: risk failure and actually fail, the greater your chances of success.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: What kind of man would live where there is no daring.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I don't believe in taking foolish chances, but nothing can
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: be accomplished if we don't take any chances at all.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: If there is no wind row as you prepare to
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: take a risk, don't expect to get a favorable wind.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Begin with a mindset that you have to row. Then
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: if you get some help, it will be a pleasant surprise.
