- 0:42Speaker 2: why now You're minimum didn't changed. Because it's life.
- 0:46Speaker 3: We all face opposition and things that come against us.
- 0:50Speaker 3: It's easy to get discouraged and give up on what
- 0:53Speaker 3: we're believing. For sometimes we feel alone, like nobody knows
- 0:57Speaker 3: what we're going through, nobody is sorting us. We get
- 1:01Speaker 3: weary and faint in our minds.
- 1:04Speaker 1: And that's the problem with some of you. You always
- 1:06Speaker 1: want to blame other people. You always want to you
- 1:08Speaker 1: want to hold other people to the fire. But you're
- 1:10Speaker 1: not holding yourself to the fire. You just say you're
- 1:13Speaker 1: giving fifty percent. You owe you an explanation. You owe
- 1:16Speaker 1: you an explanation. You need to look at yourself in
- 1:18Speaker 1: the mirror and say, why are you only giving fifty percent?
- 1:21Speaker 1: What's wrong with you?
- 1:23Speaker 4: See a lot of people allow fear to stop them
- 1:26Speaker 4: from living their dream. Answer your calling, whatever you're called
- 1:30Speaker 4: to do. Don't count yourself out. Don't say I can't
- 1:34Speaker 4: do that. Many of us go through life saying no,
- 1:37Speaker 4: And you don't even know what you're saying no to.
- 1:39Speaker 4: You don't know what you cannot do.
- 1:41Speaker 1: And if you create a culture of losing, if you
- 1:44Speaker 1: keep being a victim, if you keep letting losing happen
- 1:47Speaker 1: to you, if you keep letting people do you and
- 1:49Speaker 1: treat you any kind of way, it's gonna become a culture. See,
- 1:52Speaker 1: this is the only life you've got.
- 1:54Speaker 4: See, you don't want to squander at doing something you
- 1:56Speaker 4: don't want to do, feeling you can't do any better.
- 1:59Speaker 1: You can do better, You should do better. You deserve
- 2:03Speaker 1: to do better.
- 2:03Speaker 4: You're entitled to that.
- 2:05Speaker 1: That is your right.
- 2:06Speaker 3: To do better.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Should change comes from you.
- 2:09Speaker 2: The only change is going to happen.
- 2:11Speaker 4: It comes from all of us. It comes from you.
- 2:14Speaker 4: If you keep learning all the time, you have a
- 2:16Speaker 4: huge advantage. And we both just like it, and we
- 2:19Speaker 4: have a wonderful robber friends really want.
- 2:22Speaker 2: To from them who we can learn a lot.
- 2:23Speaker 5: We should look at the greatest achievers who've ever walked
- 2:26Speaker 5: among us, know that they all came from the same intelligence,
- 2:30Speaker 5: and recognize and help people define that within themselves. Self
- 2:34Speaker 5: actualizing people. The number one quality and characteristic of these
- 2:38Speaker 5: people who live at the apex self actualization, who are
- 2:41Speaker 5: way beyond just taking care of their biological needs, who
- 2:45Speaker 5: are way or bond beyond their social needs, who are
- 2:48Speaker 5: way beyond needing to be loved, and so on. These
- 2:51Speaker 5: are people who came here with a purpose. These are
- 2:53Speaker 5: people who have a dharma. These are people who won't
- 2:56Speaker 5: let anyone else determine what it is they're going to be.
- 2:59Speaker 5: The number one quality of these people is that they
- 3:02Speaker 5: are independent of the good opinion of other people. They
- 3:05Speaker 5: listen to an inner voice. The question is how willing
- 3:09Speaker 5: are you to pay attention, How willing are you to
- 3:12Speaker 5: listen to that inner voice that no one else can hear,
- 3:16Speaker 5: That little scurvy elephant in there that says you're not
- 3:20Speaker 5: the boss of me. You can't tell me what I'm
- 3:24Speaker 5: here for. It takes a kind of fearlessness, because fear
- 3:29Speaker 5: is such a I'm the present force in our lives.
- 3:33Speaker 5: I do what I do because of the passion I feel.
- 3:37Speaker 5: I am not here because of what you paid me
- 3:39Speaker 5: to be here for. I am not here because of
- 3:43Speaker 5: any need that I have to sell another book. I
- 3:45Speaker 5: am not here for anything external for myself. I am
- 3:49Speaker 5: here because I have a passion within me.
- 3:52Speaker 4: You develop your gifts. Your gifts will take you places
- 3:57Speaker 4: that you will never begin to imagine. Decide that you
- 4:00Speaker 4: work with it until it gives you the blessing that
- 4:02Speaker 4: you want, and don't let up on it. Just keep
- 4:05Speaker 4: right on working it, and working it and working it,
- 4:07Speaker 4: and knowing that whatever you do you can better your
- 4:09Speaker 4: best at you can get better at it, that whatever
- 4:12Speaker 4: you are achieving right now, it's only a tip of
- 4:14Speaker 4: the iceberg of what's possible for you.
- 4:16Speaker 3: Your brain is your lead.
- 4:19Speaker 2: If you take the lead off, the potential in every
- 4:25Speaker 2: one of us is expensed.
- 4:28Speaker 3: It's unbelievable. Imagination is everything.
- 4:32Speaker 2: It's the preview to life's coming attraction.
- 4:35Speaker 6: You know what that means.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Everything was once a thought.
- 4:39Speaker 4: That's what that means.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Lets your imagination go, open up your mind, trip a
- 4:43Speaker 2: little bit, be some maxtals. Folks.
- 4:47Speaker 3: If imagination is everything, why not use you.
- 4:51Speaker 2: The possibilities in your life are in this way. Albert
- 4:55Speaker 2: Einstein said once, he said, imagination is everything. It's the
- 5:01Speaker 2: preview to life's coming attractions. I want you to get
- 5:06Speaker 2: this now. Imagination is everything. It's the preview to life's
- 5:12Speaker 2: coming attractions. Because if you think about it, everything you have.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Everything we have in this world, somebody imagined it. It's
- 5:22Speaker 2: your imagination is tremendous. Somebody was sitting on the phone
- 5:27Speaker 2: when they talking with a cord to the wall, and said, man,
- 5:31Speaker 2: I wish I could just go outside with this phone.
- 5:33Speaker 2: Everybody in here got a sell phone. Somebody imagined that.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Somebody got tired of riding in a wagon across country
- 5:42Speaker 2: from slavery to freedom. Somebody said, I wish we had
- 5:45Speaker 2: something that made these wheels move by theself we drive cars.
- 5:48Speaker 3: People got tired of.
- 5:49Speaker 2: Driving from New York to la Somebody said, I wish
- 5:52Speaker 2: we could fly. We got airplanes. Imagination is everything. It's
- 5:56Speaker 2: the preview to life's coming attractions, your real life. The
- 6:02Speaker 2: one God, really God for you is in your imagination.
- 6:06Speaker 2: It is not in your current situation or your current
- 6:09Speaker 2: pay check. And if you've been living like that, you
- 6:12Speaker 2: have then restricted yourself to a commonality that is really
- 6:15Speaker 2: not yours. Because what really God got for you is
- 6:18Speaker 2: really in your imagination. Faith is the substance of things
- 6:22Speaker 2: hope for and the evidence of things not seeing. So
- 6:27Speaker 2: when I told you a minute ago, you got to
- 6:29Speaker 2: have a tremendous work ethic, but you got to have
- 6:31Speaker 2: a lot of faith. I talked to so many people
- 6:34Speaker 2: who get older like some of us are, and they've
- 6:37Speaker 2: lost the faith.
- 6:38Speaker 3: For faith is really simple.
- 6:40Speaker 2: Faith is the substance of things hope for. All that
- 6:42Speaker 2: means is in the beginning, you just hope something pop up,
- 6:45Speaker 2: you know, you just kind of hope something happened for you.
- 6:48Speaker 2: I was hoping I would get on TV. I wrote
- 6:51Speaker 2: it on a piece of paper when I was ten,
- 6:53Speaker 2: I want to be on TV. The problem I had
- 6:55Speaker 2: when I wrote it at ten was I suffered from
- 6:58Speaker 2: a severe stuttering problem. I could not talk outside of
- 7:02Speaker 2: my house. So can you imagine when I wrote on
- 7:04Speaker 2: a piece of paper, I want to be on TV
- 7:05Speaker 2: and turn that in.
- 7:09Speaker 4: The first thing.
- 7:10Speaker 2: The little boy next door next to me asked me,
- 7:12Speaker 2: He did, well, how long is your TV show gonna be?
- 7:17Speaker 2: Cause you you gonna be on TV all day? But
- 7:25Speaker 2: when I wrote it on the paper, it wasn't factual,
- 7:30Speaker 2: It was just hoping. You just gotta start with the hope.
- 7:36Speaker 2: Faith is the substance of things that you hope for.
- 7:38Speaker 2: You just hope something. Joe, then what happened in through
- 7:42Speaker 2: grace and favor? He'd give you a couple of them
- 7:44Speaker 2: things you hope for, And then you're supposed to start
- 7:47Speaker 2: believe and did because now it turns into faith. But
- 7:50Speaker 2: if you take the scripture faith, this is the substance
- 7:52Speaker 2: of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.
- 7:57Speaker 2: What is the evidence of things not seen? I just
- 8:00Speaker 2: told him to Albert Einstein said, imagination is everything. It's
- 8:06Speaker 2: the preview to life's coming attraction. But guess what your
- 8:13Speaker 2: imagination really is. It's the evidence of things not seen
- 8:20Speaker 2: because your imagination, you know why it still ever do
- 8:22Speaker 2: some things not seen because you the only one can
- 8:25Speaker 2: see it. Your imagination is actually God showing you a
- 8:30Speaker 2: preview of a coming attraction that he has for you.
- 8:34Speaker 2: The moment you don't believe in your imagination, you negate
- 8:38Speaker 2: what He got for you. Your imagination is the preview to
- 8:44Speaker 2: life's coming attraction. It is the evidence of things not
- 8:48Speaker 2: seen because can't nobody see it with you. Your problem
- 8:51Speaker 2: is you keep telling your imagination to the wrong people. See,
- 8:56Speaker 2: if you want to kill a big dream, tell it
- 8:59Speaker 2: to a small mind person. It's dead. How many times, man,
- 9:04Speaker 2: have you had a tremendous idea something you thought was
- 9:08Speaker 2: the one and you wouldn't told it to your loved
- 9:13Speaker 2: ones and your soul called friends and they shot it down.
- 9:20Speaker 2: I mean, you was convinced that it was just Oh man,
- 9:23Speaker 2: I just came to you and you told it him
- 9:25Speaker 2: and they shot it down. And you thought, since they
- 9:27Speaker 2: was your loved ones and their friends and they got
- 9:29Speaker 2: your best interests at heart, you believed them. You was wrong.
- 9:33Speaker 2: They taught you. Let them talk you out of what
- 9:36Speaker 2: God got for you. Some of y'all still sitting here
- 9:39Speaker 2: with the ambition of opening a business one day, but
- 9:42Speaker 2: you scared to go start the business because you got
- 9:44Speaker 2: a job and you got bills. Rich people got bills,
- 9:48Speaker 2: everybody got bills. Hell I got bills. You ooh, you
- 9:52Speaker 2: ain't everybody owe somebody something. I got something with the
- 9:56Speaker 2: bank right now, you're gonna the fact that you got
- 10:01Speaker 2: some bills stop you from opening the business. The thing
- 10:04Speaker 2: to God then put in your imagination. So you're gonna
- 10:07Speaker 2: squash that because you got bills. Everybody got bills. Your
- 10:15Speaker 2: real life is in your imagination.
- 10:20Speaker 7: Christy talked about affirmations. Abundant thinkers understand the power of
- 10:25Speaker 7: I am. Anything after the word I am is true
- 10:28Speaker 7: to your unconscious mind. Michael, anything anything after I am.
- 10:32Speaker 7: Anything anything after I am, even if you just you
- 10:36Speaker 7: know it's not true, your conscious mind will believe it.
- 10:38Speaker 7: Anything after I am. So the use of affirmations is
- 10:41Speaker 7: very intentional and very consistent. I was diagnosed as clinically
- 10:47Speaker 7: depressed in nineteen ninety eight. I was diagnosed as clinically depressed.
- 10:53Speaker 7: Me didn't make sense. I have been in a relationship.
- 10:56Speaker 7: I was engaged to get married and my fiance I
- 11:00Speaker 7: did not know at the time I was bipolar, and
- 11:03Speaker 7: he'd stopped taking his medicines and under the belief system
- 11:06Speaker 7: that love can cure anything, and so I ended up
- 11:10Speaker 7: being picked up and throwing three feet across the room
- 11:13Speaker 7: and I ended up being choked until I passed out.
- 11:15Speaker 7: And once I got out of that relationship, I just
- 11:18Speaker 7: was different. It was different. So my mom insisted that
- 11:22Speaker 7: I go to the doctor. I went to the doctor
- 11:26Speaker 7: and I sat on the table and she checked me
- 11:29Speaker 7: and talked to me and came back in with a
- 11:31Speaker 7: prescription and she said, Lisa, you're clinically depressed. And I
- 11:37Speaker 7: felt like I heard Charlie Brown's parents talking.
- 11:39Speaker 3: Like wah wah wah wah.
- 11:41Speaker 7: Wah, clinically depressed and Lisa, that'll makes sense in that
- 11:44Speaker 7: same sentence. And she handed me a prescription and I
- 11:48Speaker 7: read the prescription and had my name on it, and
- 11:50Speaker 7: it said prosa. And I said that don't that don't
- 11:52Speaker 7: make sense, Lisa Nicholas, pro that don't make sense? And
- 11:54Speaker 7: I said, do you mean I'm sad? She said, very
- 11:58Speaker 7: very sad. I said, can I try something? And I'm
- 12:01Speaker 7: not I'm not recommending you guys, if you're on medication,
- 12:06Speaker 7: you stop taking your meds. Please don't do that, I
- 12:08Speaker 7: asked my doctor. She agreed. I said, do you mind
- 12:10Speaker 7: if I try something before I take this? She goes, yes,
- 12:12Speaker 7: but I need to see you back in thirty days,
- 12:14Speaker 7: if you're in the same condition, I need us to
- 12:16Speaker 7: try this Maphoe. I said, okay, I could do that.
- 12:19Speaker 7: So I went home and every day I got in
- 12:22Speaker 7: the mirror and I drilled I AM every day because
- 12:27Speaker 7: I realized I have forgotten who I was. I just
- 12:31Speaker 7: forgot I just and it was okay to forget. I
- 12:34Speaker 7: just forgot. So every day, every day, for twenty five minutes,
- 12:38Speaker 7: I just went over the I ams. Every day I am,
- 12:42Speaker 7: I Am, I Am. And then I paralleled that what
- 12:45Speaker 7: I forgive you for. Then I paralleled that when I
- 12:48Speaker 7: commit to you, Lisa, every single day. I went back
- 12:51Speaker 7: in thirty days and I'm talking to her and I'm
- 12:53Speaker 7: on fire, she says, looking at me, and I'm just
- 12:56Speaker 7: talking talking. She twisted her head again, and I'm just
- 12:58Speaker 7: talking talking.
- 12:59Speaker 1: She says.
- 13:00Speaker 7: I got to stop. You said what, She goes, what
- 13:01Speaker 7: are you taking? And can I have some? I was like,
- 13:05Speaker 7: I'm taking some of me. And so the power of
- 13:08Speaker 7: I am, the power of I AM can pull you
- 13:11Speaker 7: through the darkest moment. The power of I.
- 13:13Speaker 6: Am Switzerland, there are some mountains that can be climbed
- 13:21Speaker 6: by people like you and me. We got to get
- 13:24Speaker 6: a little bit better condition. But I mean it's not
- 13:25Speaker 6: like the mountain climber mountains that would be way beyond
- 13:28Speaker 6: our skill level. But some of these mountains that can
- 13:32Speaker 6: be climbed by you and me. It takes a day
- 13:33Speaker 6: to get to the top, and then that you camp
- 13:36Speaker 6: up there and you come in down the next day.
- 13:38Speaker 6: And on many of these places where in Switzerland where
- 13:41Speaker 6: you can do that, about halfway up the mountain is
- 13:44Speaker 6: what they call the halfway house. Halfway house halfway up
- 13:46Speaker 6: the mountain. So the group of people starts off with
- 13:50Speaker 6: a guy in the morning and about noon, you're kind
- 13:52Speaker 6: of tired. You've been walking now for four or five hours,
- 13:55Speaker 6: and here comes the year coming up to the halfway house.
- 13:57Speaker 6: It's just a it's a wonderful sight because as soon
- 14:01Speaker 6: as you enter in the halfway house, you can smell
- 14:03Speaker 6: the food and they're getting ready for a good lunch.
- 14:06Speaker 6: And you sit down. There's a fire in a fireplace,
- 14:09Speaker 6: and there's nice soft chairs and you can just rest
- 14:12Speaker 6: your body and refresh your body. And so the people
- 14:15Speaker 6: go into the halfway house and they eat and laugh
- 14:17Speaker 6: and enjoy and just really really just kind of take
- 14:22Speaker 6: in that wonderful, refreshing atmosphere. About an hour and a
- 14:26Speaker 6: half after it be in the halfway house, the guide
- 14:28Speaker 6: gets up to this well, gang is signed to put
- 14:30Speaker 6: on your gear. We got a hike. We got to
- 14:32Speaker 6: get on up to the top. This is a fact.
- 14:37Speaker 6: About half the people decide not to go on up
- 14:40Speaker 6: to the top. They're sitting around the table in there
- 14:43Speaker 6: and just saying, you know what, go on up, You're
- 14:45Speaker 6: gonna be come by here tomorrow, gonna be having lunch
- 14:47Speaker 6: here again tomorrow. We're just gonna hang here. And so
- 14:50Speaker 6: the people that want to get to the top they
- 14:52Speaker 6: put their stuff on and they kind of leave, and
- 14:54Speaker 6: the rest of the people say behind they, you know,
- 14:56Speaker 6: eat a little bit more food, get around the piano,
- 14:58Speaker 6: sing some songs, get around the plays, enjoy the fire,
- 15:01Speaker 6: warm themselves by the fire, and all I have played
- 15:03Speaker 6: games all afternoon, kind of enjoy themselves. But about four
- 15:07Speaker 6: thirty quarridal five in the afternoon, without anybody saying a word,
- 15:13Speaker 6: the people who stayed in the halfway house, they slowly
- 15:18Speaker 6: go over to where the window is, the big window,
- 15:22Speaker 6: and they start looking outside, and they start looking up
- 15:25Speaker 6: the top of that mountain, and they look at the
- 15:26Speaker 6: top of that mountain, they see their friends. Their friends
- 15:31Speaker 6: are now getting the tents out and they're getting ready
- 15:34Speaker 6: to prepare for the night. And it becomes very quiet,
- 15:38Speaker 6: very somber, because everybody in the halfway house realizes the
- 15:43Speaker 6: mistake they've made. They've they've they've they've sold their mission
- 15:50Speaker 6: for a little bit of comfort for a few hours.
- 15:54Speaker 6: Next morning, down come their friends, and by noon they
- 15:58Speaker 6: come into the halfway house. And when they come in
- 15:59Speaker 6: the half they are laughing, they're high fiving. They're talking
- 16:03Speaker 6: about what they've seen, where they've been, experiences, the fact
- 16:06Speaker 6: that it was almost impossible to get up there, in
- 16:08Speaker 6: fact they had to help each other get up there,
- 16:09Speaker 6: and how they joined teams and helm hands, and they're
- 16:12Speaker 6: just telling all these stories and talk about the pictures
- 16:14Speaker 6: they've taken and the yeah, they got the group picture
- 16:16Speaker 6: up there with the flag at the top. And the
- 16:19Speaker 6: people who remain behind they don't say much. They just
- 16:25Speaker 6: eat their lunch and then follow the rest of them
- 16:29Speaker 6: down to the bottom of the hill where their friends
- 16:33Speaker 6: are waiting for them. And those who paid the price
- 16:37Speaker 6: and went to the top, who understood now is the
- 16:41Speaker 6: time to reach the mission. They hug and tell stories
- 16:46Speaker 6: and celebrate, and the others they just kind of slip
- 16:50Speaker 6: off and get in their car and go home because
- 16:53Speaker 6: they realize they're never going to be what they wanted
- 16:57Speaker 6: to be, They're never going to see what they wanted
- 16:59Speaker 6: to see, never going to do what they wanted to
- 17:01Speaker 6: do because they failed to realize when they're at the
- 17:05Speaker 6: halfway house, now's the time to rest
- 17:10Speaker 5: And then go on
