- 0:54Speaker 2: You gotta ride. So the most important key to changing
- 1:05Speaker 2: your life in any situation is to change results. You've
- 1:07Speaker 2: got to change behavior. But to change behavior, you got
- 1:10Speaker 2: to change the emotions state hearing. The mind's like, I
- 1:16Speaker 2: want to be in charge of you. I don't want
- 1:18Speaker 2: you to be in charge of me.
- 1:20Speaker 4: So it tells you, let's just stop right here.
- 1:23Speaker 2: But once you start breaking through that barrier, you start
- 1:26Speaker 2: breaking down that governor, the governor that you've put in
- 1:29Speaker 2: your mind.
- 1:30Speaker 3: Because we forget we are in control of our mind.
- 1:36Speaker 4: Where you can try anything you want in order to
- 1:38Speaker 4: hurry things up. But things just aren't going to hurry.
- 1:42Speaker 4: In fact, there's only one thing that will work, and
- 1:46Speaker 4: that is patience.
- 1:49Speaker 2: When you're not sure what you're gonna do, you're gonna hesitate,
- 1:52Speaker 2: and hesitation kills. Momentum and momentum is what makes a

- 1:57Speaker 2: person win. When you get momentus like takes a new

- 2:02Speaker 2: gravitational pull viewer, but out of the solar system's easy
- 2:05Speaker 2: once it has momentum. It takes less skill and less energy.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Starting a relationship, starting a business, changing your body. It
- 2:11Speaker 2: takes so much in the beginning, but once you get going,
- 2:13Speaker 2: it's actually really easy.
- 2:21Speaker 4: Discipline.
- 2:22Speaker 5: If there is a magic word that stands out above
- 2:24Speaker 5: all the rest, this is the one discipline. Discipline is
- 2:28Speaker 5: the bridge between thought and accomplishment, the bridge between inspiration
- 2:34Speaker 5: and value achievement. Discipline does many things, but most important
- 2:38Speaker 5: of all is what it does for you. It makes
- 2:41Speaker 5: you feel better about yourself. Even the smallest discipline can
- 2:45Speaker 5: have an incredible effect on your attitude and the good
- 2:49Speaker 5: feeling you get that surging feeling of self. Work that
- 2:52Speaker 5: comes from starting a new discipline is almost as good
- 2:56Speaker 5: as the feeling that comes from the accomplishment of the discipline.
- 3:04Speaker 1: You know how many people do things they don't want
- 3:06Speaker 1: to do because they want everybody to like them. Everybody's
- 3:11Speaker 1: not going to like you. But you know that a
- 3:13Speaker 1: lot of people who won't take positions on issues, who
- 3:16Speaker 1: won't take a stand for things they believe in, who
- 3:18Speaker 1: won't speak up for themselves because they don't want to
- 3:21Speaker 1: make anybody mad.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Oh, it was Bill cost me, he said.
- 3:25Speaker 1: I don't know what the secret of success is, he said,
- 3:28Speaker 1: But here's what I know what the secret of failure is,
- 3:31Speaker 1: he said, trying to please it.
- 3:35Speaker 5: Ask with faith. Faith is the childish part. It means
- 3:40Speaker 5: believe you can get what you want, like a child,
- 3:44Speaker 5: not an adult. Many adults are too skeptical. They've lost
- 3:49Speaker 5: that wonderful child like faith and trust. Don't let that
- 3:53Speaker 5: happen to you. Believe in have faith in your self
- 3:58Speaker 5: and your goal. Get excited like a child. Childlike enthusiasm.
- 4:04Speaker 5: Nothing can beat it. Kids think they can do anything.
- 4:08Speaker 5: How exciting. They hate to go to bed at night
- 4:11Speaker 5: and can't wait to get up in the morning, develop
- 4:14Speaker 5: that kind of enthusiasm toward your life and your goals,
- 4:18Speaker 5: and be curious like a child. Kids can ask a
- 4:21Speaker 5: thousand questions. Just when you think they're finished, they come
- 4:25Speaker 5: up with a thousand more. They'll drive you to the brink.
- 4:29Speaker 5: But it's really a virtue. Have plenty of curiosity, ask questions.
- 4:35Speaker 5: That's how you learn.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Here's something else. Most people are not living their dreams
- 4:43Speaker 1: because of fear, ladies and gentlemen. I was in Columbus,
- 4:46Speaker 1: Ohio yesterday speaking for a particular Ohio department. Young lady
- 4:50Speaker 1: named Karen who greeted me, who organized the event, very talented,
- 4:54Speaker 1: very skillful, and she was talking about she wanted to
- 4:57Speaker 1: become involved in the consulting business. I say, why don't
- 4:59Speaker 1: you doing I said, you have the abilities. I said,
- 5:02Speaker 1: you're not here because they like you. You're here because
- 5:04Speaker 1: you're doing the job. You're making things happen. And she
- 5:08Speaker 1: came up with all kinds of ideas, but finally she said,
- 5:10Speaker 1: I guess I can't see myself doing it. I guess
- 5:14Speaker 1: I'm afraid fear, limited vision and lack of self esteem
- 5:20Speaker 1: is what keep most people doing things they don't want
- 5:23Speaker 1: to do. I was flew from Columbus, Ohio, to Denver, Colorado,
- 5:27Speaker 1: to a major communications company, and the person that picking
- 5:31Speaker 1: up the airport told me about the fact that the
- 5:33Speaker 1: company is planning on having a major downsizing, and they
- 5:37Speaker 1: offered some of the employees there in early retirement and
- 5:40Speaker 1: some of them will earn as much as three hundred
- 5:43Speaker 1: thousand dollars, and they said, this is the last time.
- 5:47Speaker 2: That you can take this offer.
- 5:49Speaker 1: If you don't do it, when we have the downsizing,
- 5:52Speaker 1: you might be among those who will lose their jobs
- 5:55Speaker 1: and all you will get is your severance pay.
- 5:58Speaker 2: And only fifty percent of the.
- 6:00Speaker 1: People who were eligible to take the three hundred thousand
- 6:04Speaker 1: dollars took it. The others were afraid to take a
- 6:09Speaker 1: chance on themselves. The others couldn't see themselves beyond that company.
- 6:14Speaker 1: They couldn't see life after that company. The same reason
- 6:17Speaker 1: that people stay in relationships where their abuse are their
- 6:20Speaker 1: unhappy or it's unfulfilling. They can't see themselves beyond that relationship.
- 6:25Speaker 1: They can't see themselves enjoying life without that person. They
- 6:28Speaker 1: think that this is all that they can do. The
- 6:30Speaker 1: same reason that people get stuck at a certain level
- 6:33Speaker 1: in life. They can't see things being better for them,
- 6:36Speaker 1: and they think that this is it and this is
- 6:38Speaker 1: all they deserve. This is all they've ever seen has
- 6:41Speaker 1: been passed on to them, and they think that this
- 6:43Speaker 1: is it for them. Oh no, I'm looking with Dr
- 6:49Speaker 1: Blanton Smalley Blanton, who is a corleague of doctor Norman
- 6:53Speaker 1: Vincent Peel, what he said about fear. He said, fear
- 6:57Speaker 1: is the most subtled and destructive of all human diseases.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, Fear kills dreams.
- 7:08Speaker 2: Fear kills hope.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Fear put people in the hospital.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Fear can aid you.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Fear, ladies and gentlemen, can hold you back from doing
- 7:20Speaker 1: something that you know within yourself that you are capable
- 7:22Speaker 1: of doing. But it will paralyze you. Come out here
- 7:26Speaker 1: with what you got. You don't have enough money, don't
- 7:28Speaker 1: worry about it. You got the dream, you got the idea.
- 7:32Speaker 1: You don't have enough resources, don't worry about it. You
- 7:35Speaker 1: need some help, don't worry about it. You'll get out
- 7:38Speaker 1: here in the arena, someone will look at you and
- 7:40Speaker 1: become inspired and say, hey, can I help you. But
- 7:43Speaker 1: if you're sitting up on the bleach, just nobody's going
- 7:45Speaker 1: to ask you anything.
- 7:48Speaker 2: You've got to.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Get into the flow of action. Francis Hart called me
- 7:51Speaker 1: from Chicago. She had been sitting on an idea of
- 7:55Speaker 1: a show that she wanted to produce for ten years
- 7:58Speaker 1: called Mind Body Connection. So someone saw me speaking in
- 8:03Speaker 1: Chicago at a sorority convention and said, I saw a
- 8:06Speaker 1: guy that perhaps can host this show for you, who
- 8:09Speaker 1: has energy in charisma. She called me.
- 8:11Speaker 2: She was so fired up.
- 8:12Speaker 1: I said, listen, on the day that you want to
- 8:15Speaker 1: do that, I'm speaking in Chicago. I can do it
- 8:17Speaker 1: for you. And I said, by the way, I met
- 8:19Speaker 1: somebody two weeks ago in Baltimore who has an idea
- 8:22Speaker 1: of the same CABO show and she's doing.
- 8:24Speaker 2: It on radio.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Why don't you call her? And then she called me back,
- 8:27Speaker 1: who else would you suggest? I say, Well, I know
- 8:29Speaker 1: Dee Fact Chopra. He wrote the book called Quantum Healing
- 8:32Speaker 1: and Bernie Siegel. Could you get his number.
- 8:34Speaker 2: I'll tell you what.
- 8:35Speaker 1: I have a friend named Jack Bolan at the Church
- 8:37Speaker 1: of the Day. He knows how to get in touch
- 8:38Speaker 1: with him. Call him and he will give you the number.
- 8:41Speaker 1: So you can get in touch with Bernie Siegel. That
- 8:44Speaker 1: lady started calling all around. Did not have the resources,
- 8:46Speaker 1: but she had this idea and dream, and she said
- 8:51Speaker 1: the other night, when she came before the audience that
- 8:53Speaker 1: had gathered in the studio, she said, I feel like
- 8:56Speaker 1: I've been pregnant for ten years, and tonight you're going
- 9:01Speaker 1: to witness a beautiful delivery.
- 9:05Speaker 2: And it was.
- 9:07Speaker 1: She said, I couldn't believe less how things began to happen,
- 9:12Speaker 1: how it all began to come together. When you want
- 9:16Speaker 1: something out of life, you've got to be willing to
- 9:20Speaker 1: go into action. Don't wait around for things to be
- 9:24Speaker 1: just right, don't wait for things to be perfect. Don't
- 9:28Speaker 1: wait for the ideal situation. It will never be ideal.
- 9:33Speaker 1: There will always be a reason. Well, as soon as
- 9:35Speaker 1: the children grow up, as soon as I pay my bills,
- 9:39Speaker 1: or as soon as I get my divorce all kinds,
- 9:42Speaker 1: as soon as I get enough money together. Do what
- 9:45Speaker 1: you can where you are, with what you have, and
- 9:49Speaker 1: never be satisfied,
