- 3:09Speaker 2: Won't be there anymore.
- 3:10Speaker 1: It's going to be there and it will haunt you
- 3:12Speaker 1: for the rest of your life. So I'm telling you
- 3:14Speaker 1: from personal experience, deal with it. Deal with it, and
- 3:18Speaker 1: the sooner you deal with it, and the sooner you
- 3:20Speaker 1: overcome it, the sooner you get to your rewards. Maybe
- 3:23Speaker 1: the sooner you get on the other side of it,
- 3:25Speaker 1: the sooner you begin to feel fulfillment. The sooner you
- 3:28Speaker 1: get on the other side is self actualization, your dreams
- 3:31Speaker 1: become a reality. The sooner you get on the other
- 3:33Speaker 1: side of the problem is a wealth of success. The
- 3:35Speaker 1: sooner you deal with the fact that you have testing
- 3:37Speaker 1: side it. Deal with it. It's not the end of
- 3:40Speaker 1: the world. Deal with it because when you deal with it,
- 3:42Speaker 1: you can create a solution for it and you can
- 3:44Speaker 1: get over Deal with it that that you and your
- 3:48Speaker 1: children don't have the best relation. Deal with it. Deal
- 3:51Speaker 1: with the fact that you are procrastinated. Deal with the
- 3:53Speaker 1: fact that it's hard for you to execute. Deal with
- 3:56Speaker 1: the fact that every time something happens, you worried about it.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Deal with the fact that you had this anxiety that
- 4:02Speaker 1: every time you were about to reach another level of success,
- 4:05Speaker 1: every time you're about to go to another level, deal
- 4:09Speaker 1: with the fact that's just trouble with your success, that
- 4:11Speaker 1: you feel like why me?
- 4:12Speaker 3: And why not?
- 4:13Speaker 1: My sister will why me? Why not?
- 4:14Speaker 2: Other people?
- 4:15Speaker 1: It was the fact that you feel guilty that you're exact.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Deal with it.
- 4:20Speaker 3: And I was sleeping in my office. It was hard
- 4:24Speaker 3: when just over three years ago in the Pinopscot building
- 4:29Speaker 3: in Detroit, Michigan, where I was operating my business, and
- 4:33Speaker 3: I fell on some hard times. It was hard coming
- 4:37Speaker 3: into the lobby and the security said, excuse me, mister Brown,
- 4:40Speaker 3: can we see you for a moment, And I said yes,
- 4:42Speaker 3: And I walked up to the counter and he gave
- 4:45Speaker 3: me an envelope and he said, would you mind reading
- 4:48Speaker 3: it here? And I opened the envelope and the envelope
- 4:51Speaker 3: was from management that said this is an office tower,
- 4:56Speaker 3: it's not a hotel. Please do not sleep in your office.
- 5:02Speaker 3: And I said, excuse me, sir, I said, I just
- 5:04Speaker 3: work long hours and creating my business. I'm an entrepreneur
- 5:10Speaker 3: and right now things are bad for me, but they're
- 5:12Speaker 3: not going to be this way always. I'm not trying
- 5:16Speaker 3: to make this my home. And it was hard coming
- 5:19Speaker 3: through the lobby, and sometimes they would laugh. There's a
- 5:22Speaker 3: guy talking about becoming successful, and look at him. He's
- 5:25Speaker 3: bathing in the bathroom upstairs on the twenty first floor.
- 5:30Speaker 3: He sleeps on the floor, him and two other dreamers
- 5:33Speaker 3: up there. Look at him. It was hard, ladies and
- 5:36Speaker 3: gentlemen coming to speak to people, and I was facing
- 5:41Speaker 3: financial difficulties in my own life. I was behind on
- 5:44Speaker 3: my bills and my dreams, and I'm saying to them,
- 5:47Speaker 3: you can live your dream. It was hard, ladies and gentlemen.
- 5:51Speaker 3: It was very difficult to pick myself up each day
- 5:54Speaker 3: believing that I could do it. There were times that
- 5:57Speaker 3: I doubted myself. I said, God, why why happening to me.
- 6:01Speaker 3: I'm just trying to take care of my children and
- 6:03Speaker 3: my mother. I'm not trying to steal a rock from anybody.
- 6:08Speaker 3: How did this have to happen to me? It was
- 6:11Speaker 3: rough when I lost my job and I could not
- 6:14Speaker 3: find a job. It was humiliating, an embarrassing borrowing money
- 6:21Speaker 3: and then I couldn't pay the money back when I
- 6:23Speaker 3: told them I would. That's rough, how people look at you,
- 6:31Speaker 3: how they respond to it. It's very hard. Here's what
- 6:35Speaker 3: I discovered that happens to your life. That you will
- 6:38Speaker 3: go through things and while you're going through them, you can't.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Understand why it's happening.
- 6:43Speaker 3: But after you go through it, you get back and
- 6:46Speaker 3: you look at it and you say, oh, now I
- 6:48Speaker 3: understand why I needed that lesson. Then I saw that
- 6:52Speaker 3: that was preparing me for bigger and better things. See,
- 6:56Speaker 3: most people want it easy. See easy come easy, go
- 7:02Speaker 3: learning those things that you don't like to do. But
- 7:06Speaker 3: you know that in order for you to get where
- 7:08Speaker 3: you want to go, this is one of the hoops
- 7:11Speaker 3: that you have to flip through. And I'm saying to you,
- 7:14Speaker 3: whatever you gotta do, do it because if you don't,
- 7:17Speaker 3: life is gonna whoop you and tell you surrender. How
- 7:21Speaker 3: do you hang in there during the hard, difficult times?
- 7:24Speaker 3: Lest you must have faith. You've got to believe in yourself.
- 7:30Speaker 3: You've got to believe in your abilities.
- 7:32Speaker 1: You've got to believe.
- 7:33Speaker 3: In your service, your company, your ideas. Unquestionably, you've got
- 7:38Speaker 3: to have faith, and that faith gives you patience. That
- 7:43Speaker 3: is not gonna happen as quickly as you want it
- 7:45Speaker 3: to happen. A lot of things gonna happen that will
- 7:48Speaker 3: catch you off God, and so therefore you've got to
- 7:51Speaker 3: deal with and handle it as it comes. And not
- 7:55Speaker 3: only that, but that faith and patience drives you in action.
- 8:01Speaker 4: You've got to keep moving, be yourself. Everyone else is
- 8:06Speaker 4: taken well. That really speaks to the power of being
- 8:09Speaker 4: an original. It speaks to this concept of authenticity, being yourself.
- 8:15Speaker 4: I mean, we live in a world where there has
- 8:17Speaker 4: never been so much of a seduction to be like
- 8:20Speaker 4: everyone else. There's never been so much influence and hypnosis
- 8:24Speaker 4: through the social media and through society, to talk in
- 8:28Speaker 4: a certain way, to walk in a certain way, to
- 8:31Speaker 4: buy certain things, to measure your success by the same philosophy.
- 8:36Speaker 4: And what I'm encouraging you to do, based on this
- 8:38Speaker 4: Oscar Wild quote is to be yourself. I mean, talk
- 8:42Speaker 4: your talk, walk your walk, take the time to reflect
- 8:46Speaker 4: on your dream, be true to your own values, because
- 8:50Speaker 4: life's greatest heartbreak is self betrayal.
- 8:53Speaker 2: Never underestimate the power of influence. What an important statement.
- 8:59Speaker 2: The influence of those around us is so powerful. Many
- 9:03Speaker 2: times we don't even realize we're being strongly influenced because
- 9:07Speaker 2: it generally develops over an extended period of time. Peer
- 9:11Speaker 2: pressure is an especially powerful form of influence because it
- 9:15Speaker 2: is so subtle. If you're around people who spend all
- 9:19Speaker 2: they make, chances are excellent that you'll spend all you make.
- 9:23Speaker 2: If you are around people who go to more ballgames
- 9:26Speaker 2: than concerts, chances are excellent that you'll do the same.
- 9:31Speaker 2: If you're around people who don't read many books, chances
- 9:34Speaker 2: are excellent you won't read many books. People around us
- 9:39Speaker 2: can keep nudging us off course a little at a time,
- 9:42Speaker 2: until finally, ten years from now, we find ourselves asking
- 9:46Speaker 2: how did I get here? Those subtle influences need to
- 9:50Speaker 2: be studied carefully if we really want our lives to
- 9:53Speaker 2: turn out the way we've planned. Now, on this major point,
- 9:57Speaker 2: let me give you three key questions to ask. This
- 10:00Speaker 2: may help you to make a better analysis of your
- 10:03Speaker 2: current associations. Here is the first question, Who am I around?
- 10:09Speaker 2: Good question? Make a mental study of the major people
- 10:13Speaker 2: with whom you most often associate. You've got to evaluate
- 10:16Speaker 2: everybody who is within the circle of being able to
- 10:20Speaker 2: influence you. So major question, who am I around? Next question,
- 10:27Speaker 2: what are they doing to me? That's a major question
- 10:30Speaker 2: to ask. What have they got me doing? What have
- 10:34Speaker 2: they got me listening to? What have they got me reading?
- 10:38Speaker 2: Where have they got me going? What have they got
- 10:40Speaker 2: me thinking? How have they got me talking? And how
- 10:44Speaker 2: have they got me feeling? What have they got me? Saying?
- 10:49Speaker 2: You've just got to make a serious study of how
- 10:52Speaker 2: others are influencing you, both negatively and positively. Now, maybe
- 10:58Speaker 2: the influence of all all goes around you is okay,
- 11:02Speaker 2: but just ask yourself it doesn't hurt the ass. Who
- 11:06Speaker 2: am I around and what are they doing to me?
- 11:10Speaker 3: Now?
- 11:10Speaker 2: Here's the final question, is that okay? Maybe the people
- 11:15Speaker 2: you associate with and their collective influence is okay, But
- 11:19Speaker 2: then again maybe it's not. All I'm suggesting here is
- 11:23Speaker 2: that you take a close and objective look. Everything is
- 11:27Speaker 2: worth a second look, especially the power of influence. Positive
- 11:32Speaker 2: influence can have an incredible effect on your life, but
- 11:35Speaker 2: so can negative influence. Both will take you somewhere, but
- 11:40Speaker 2: only one will take you in the direction you truly
- 11:42Speaker 2: wish to go. It's so easy just to dismiss the
- 11:47Speaker 2: things that influence our lives. The man says, I live here,
- 11:50Speaker 2: but I don't think it matters. I'm around these people,
- 11:54Speaker 2: but I don't think it hurts. I would take another
- 11:57Speaker 2: look at that. I've got a good phrase for you.
- 12:00Speaker 2: Everything matters. Now, sure, some things matter more than others,
- 12:05Speaker 2: but everything matters. Everything weighs something. So you've got to
- 12:09Speaker 2: keep checking to find out whether associations are tipping the
- 12:13Speaker 2: scales toward the positive or toward the negative. It doesn't
- 12:17Speaker 2: hurt to look right. Ignorance is never the best policy.
- 12:21Speaker 2: Finding out is the best policy. Remember, part of the
- 12:27Speaker 2: purpose of this program is to get us to say,
- 12:29Speaker 2: the days of kidding myself are over. I really want
- 12:34Speaker 2: to know what I have become and what I am becoming.
- 12:38Speaker 2: I want to know where my strengths and my weaknesses lie,
- 12:42Speaker 2: what has power over me, what's influencing me? What have
- 12:46Speaker 2: I allowed to affect my life.
