- 0:00Speaker 1: Most people.
- 0:00Speaker 2: They get a job, they look around and see how
- 0:02Speaker 2: everybody else is doing their work, and they start doing
- 0:04Speaker 2: it the same way. They should stop and think. I
- 0:06Speaker 2: wonder if any of these people know what they're doing,
- 0:09Speaker 2: is there a better way to do it?
- 0:10Speaker 1: Well? Don't we have a need to fit in? I mean,
- 0:12Speaker 1: we don't want to.
- 0:12Speaker 3: We don't want to stand out, We don't want to
- 0:14Speaker 3: get fired, we don't want to make waves.
- 0:16Speaker 2: Exactly exactly, just fall into line, you know, take a number,
- 0:19Speaker 2: be like everybody around. Now, that'd be great in the
- 0:22Speaker 2: animal kingdom, but human beings aren'tupposed to live that way.
- 0:26Speaker 2: I think we should make a few waves. We should
- 0:29Speaker 2: maybe stand out, be different. Not for the sake of
- 0:31Speaker 2: being different, okay, but because we are different. We all
- 0:35Speaker 2: think different thoughts, and I believe we should start to
- 0:38Speaker 2: think and build images in our mind of what we'd
- 0:41Speaker 2: like to do, and then set out and do it.
- 0:44Speaker 4: The greatest ability that God has given human kind above
- 0:47Speaker 4: the animals, is.
- 0:49Speaker 5: The ability to choose.
- 0:52Speaker 4: A doll can't be anything but a dog, A cat
- 0:55Speaker 4: can't be anything but a cat.
- 0:56Speaker 1: A human being.
- 0:58Speaker 4: Has the power to choose. Choose. We can choose, And
- 1:02Speaker 4: I'm asking you. What do you see in the future
- 1:04Speaker 4: for you? What brought you here today? What caused you
- 1:08Speaker 4: to get up? What is it that you're looking for?
- 1:11Speaker 5: What would you like to do? What do you believe
- 1:15Speaker 5: you've been destined to do? What talents, skills, giftings, and
- 1:19Speaker 5: abilities do you possess to support your desire to do it?
- 1:24Speaker 5: What are your motives for wanting to do it? Why
- 1:27Speaker 5: do you want to become what you are looking to become?
- 1:30Speaker 5: What steps are you taking to become and to live
- 1:34Speaker 5: the life? To make the dream of reality?
- 1:37Speaker 6: Life is death without change. Are you willing to make
- 1:41Speaker 6: a change in your life to realize a dream, to
- 1:45Speaker 6: fulfill what's in your mind, what you can visualize as
- 1:48Speaker 6: your life and now? Are you willing to put the
- 1:51Speaker 6: sweat equity, the time, the persistency that it takes not
- 1:57Speaker 6: on your timetable, but on faith it's timetable. If you are,
- 2:02Speaker 6: then you have to educate yourself in whatever that subject
- 2:07Speaker 6: matter is.
- 2:08Speaker 5: Every day, do something that moves you toward that goal,
- 2:12Speaker 5: that keeps that goal alive and insight and in focus.
- 2:17Speaker 1: However small or insignificant that step might seem. Take it,
- 2:22Speaker 1: do it, make it happen.
- 2:25Speaker 5: Because that goal isn't going to achieve itself.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Get better. There isn't any of us that can't get better.
- 2:33Speaker 7: So turn on this whole idea of personal development and
- 2:36Speaker 7: personal growth. That was what my teacher shared with me
- 2:39Speaker 7: to change my life starting a few steps from here
- 2:43Speaker 7: at that convention, I'm telling you for things to get better,
- 2:45Speaker 7: you got to get better.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Don't ask for it to change out there, ask for
- 2:49Speaker 1: you to change here. Don't ask for a more favorable win.
- 2:52Speaker 1: We call that naive.
- 2:54Speaker 7: Don't ask for better seed, better soil.
- 2:55Speaker 1: This is the only planet you got.
- 2:59Speaker 7: Just ask that you can get and stronger and better
- 3:01Speaker 7: and be able to take care of your own responsibilities.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Get better.
- 3:10Speaker 8: We bitch about everything in your life, but we do
- 3:13Speaker 8: nothing about it. Very few people do anything about it.
- 3:15Speaker 8: I'm fat, I'm out of shame all these days. What
- 3:19Speaker 8: to be doing about it? You gotta take action in
- 3:22Speaker 8: your life. You gotta stop, You gotta start being. Find
- 3:25Speaker 8: a solution to your problem.
- 3:28Speaker 9: Don't be the problem.
- 3:29Speaker 8: Take action, for every action is an opposite reaction. If
- 3:33Speaker 8: all you do is better, nothing's gonna happen in your life.
- 3:37Speaker 8: Take action, take control, stay.
- 3:38Speaker 3: Hard, Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to
- 3:41Speaker 3: who someone else is today, because you need to have
- 3:44Speaker 3: a hierarchy of improvement. You need to be aiming for something,
- 3:48Speaker 3: and that means you're going to be lesser than people
- 3:49Speaker 3: who've always already attained along that dementia. So the question
- 3:54Speaker 3: is who should you defeat in the final analysis? And
- 3:57Speaker 3: the answer is you should defeat your former self. You
- 3:59Speaker 3: should be constantly trying to do that. And you're the
- 4:01Speaker 3: right control for yourself too, because you're the one who's
- 4:04Speaker 3: had all your advantages and disadvantages.
- 4:07Speaker 10: Do you understand what that means? Do you understand how
- 4:11Speaker 10: aggressive you gotta be? Do you understand even when you're aggressive,
- 4:16Speaker 10: you still gotta have patience? Do you really understand the
- 4:21Speaker 10: work that has to be applied to it? Because you
- 4:25Speaker 10: can want all day long, but if you don't apply
- 4:29Speaker 10: action to.
- 4:30Speaker 7: It, then how can you achieve?
- 4:34Speaker 10: How can you achieve the greatness that's within you?
- 4:38Speaker 1: How bad do you really want it?
- 4:40Speaker 11: You gotta hear me people talking about Oprah Winfrey, you know,
- 4:43Speaker 11: Tad Turner, Warren Bumpett.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Listen to me. I don't care how much money you make.
- 4:47Speaker 1: You only get twenty.
- 4:48Speaker 5: Four hours in a day, and the difference between Oprah
- 4:50Speaker 5: and the person that's broke is Oprah uses her twenty
- 4:54Speaker 5: four hours wisely.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Is your brain will trick you. You are your own
- 5:02Speaker 1: worst enemy.
- 5:03Speaker 9: You're failing because, on a daily basis, you fail to
- 5:06Speaker 9: exercise your self disciplined muscle. On a daily basis, you
- 5:09Speaker 9: fail to sacrifice. You're failing because on a daily basis,
- 5:12Speaker 9: you fail to come up with the plan. On a
- 5:14Speaker 9: daily basis, you fail to get uncomfortable, you fail to
- 5:19Speaker 9: push past your limits, and you fail to believe in
- 5:23Speaker 9: your sin.
- 5:24Speaker 12: Here's the problem I find most people have. They judge
- 5:27Speaker 12: themselves to the lens of a moment. They fail at something,
- 5:31Speaker 12: they miss, they embarrass themselves, they flubb something, and they
- 5:37Speaker 12: think that defines who they are. But I'm telling you
- 5:41Speaker 12: right now, you're not defined by who you are. You're
- 5:43Speaker 12: defined by who you want to become and the price
- 5:48Speaker 12: you're willing to pay to get there.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Because life does it give you what you walked. It
- 5:55Speaker 1: gives you what.
- 5:56Speaker 6: You deserve, and if you haven't worked for it, if
- 6:00Speaker 6: you have it, sacrificed for it, if you.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Haven't given your all, then you don't desert it and
- 6:06Speaker 1: you won't get it.
- 6:15Speaker 13: The future belongs to the risk takers, not the security seekers.
- 6:19Speaker 13: Life is perverse in the sense that the more you
- 6:22Speaker 13: seek security, the less of it you have. But the
- 6:25Speaker 13: more you seek opportunity, the more likely it is that
- 6:27Speaker 13: you will achieve the security that you desire. Whenever you
- 6:31Speaker 13: feel fear or anxiety and you need to bolster your
- 6:34Speaker 13: courage to persist in the face of obstacles and setbacks,
- 6:38Speaker 13: switch your attention to your goals. Create a clear mental
- 6:41Speaker 13: picture of the person that you would like to be,
- 6:44Speaker 13: performing the way you would like to perform. There's nothing
- 6:47Speaker 13: wrong with thoughts of fear as long as you temper
- 6:50Speaker 13: them with thoughts of courage and self reliance. Whatever you
- 6:54Speaker 13: dwell upon grows, so be careful. This brings us to
- 6:59Speaker 13: a very very important mental principle called the law of accumulation.
- 7:04Speaker 13: The application of this law is a fundamental reason for
- 7:09Speaker 13: success in every field, including yours. This law says that
- 7:14Speaker 13: every great life or great career is an accumulation of
- 7:19Speaker 13: hundreds and perhaps thousands of efforts that nobody ever sees
- 7:25Speaker 13: or appreciates. Great success is the result of countless hours,
- 7:30Speaker 13: maybe even months and years of preparation and hard work
- 7:35Speaker 13: toward the goal of becoming very good at what you
- 7:39Speaker 13: are doing. This law of accumulation says that life is
- 7:43Speaker 13: very much like a balance sheet with both credits and debts.
- 7:46Speaker 13: Every time you do something positive to enhance your abilities
- 7:49Speaker 13: and to improve your life, you get a credit on
- 7:51Speaker 13: the credit side of your ledger. Each time you waste
- 7:54Speaker 13: your time or neglect to take advantage of an opportunity
- 7:58Speaker 13: to learn and grow, you get a debit on the
- 8:01Speaker 13: debit side of your ledger.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Here's the key. Everything counts.
- 8:07Speaker 13: Everything that you do or fail to do is written
- 8:09Speaker 13: down and totaled up on your balance sheet. Everything that
- 8:13Speaker 13: you do or fail to do counts in some way.
- 8:16Speaker 13: Nothing is neutral. Everything is either moving you toward a
- 8:19Speaker 13: better life or moving you away from it. Everything counts. Successful, happy,
- 8:27Speaker 13: self confident person is an individual who has consciously and
- 8:32Speaker 13: deliberately built up a lot of credits on his or
- 8:35Speaker 13: her balance sheet. An unhappy, negative, or insecure person is
- 8:39Speaker 13: a person who has a lot of debts on his
- 8:41Speaker 13: or her balance sheet. Because the only things that count
- 8:46Speaker 13: are your actions, it seems that every positive and constructive
- 8:52Speaker 13: action you engage in adds up and increases your levels
- 8:56Speaker 13: of self confidence and self esteem. The law of incremental improvement.
- 9:02Speaker 13: Perhaps the most important corollary of the law of accumulation
- 9:06Speaker 13: is what is called the law of incremental improvement.
- 9:08Speaker 1: This is really the law that explains how.
- 9:11Speaker 13: You move from wherever you are to the top of
- 9:14Speaker 13: your field. This is the law that explains all great
- 9:18Speaker 13: success in America or anywhere else in the world. This
- 9:22Speaker 13: law simply states that a person becomes good at his
- 9:24Speaker 13: or her chosen field by improving incrementally continuously over a
- 9:29Speaker 13: long period of time. The development of the unshakable self
- 9:34Speaker 13: development will open up such possibilities for you as you
- 9:37Speaker 13: cannot now imagine. You will be able to dream bigger dreams,
- 9:41Speaker 13: set bigger goals, make greater commitments, and plunge into life
- 9:45Speaker 13: more wholeheartedly than you ever have before. Self confidence is
- 9:51Speaker 13: the hinge on which the gate of individual achievement terms.
- 9:56Speaker 13: When your self confidence becomes unlimited, you will be able
- 9:59Speaker 13: to re realize more of your potential than you could
- 10:02Speaker 13: under any other circumstances. More than two thousand years ago,
- 10:08Speaker 13: Aristotle wrote that happiness is a condition. It is not
- 10:12Speaker 13: something that is achieved by pursuing it directly, but rather
- 10:16Speaker 13: comes as a result of our engaging in purposeful activities.
- 10:21Speaker 13: We develop the confidence to tackle larger goals by applying
- 10:27Speaker 13: our energies to the accomplishment of smaller goals. We build
- 10:33Speaker 13: up our confidence as we move forward until we reach
- 10:36Speaker 13: the point at which there is nothing that we won't
- 10:39Speaker 13: take on. In fact, the habit of setting and achieving
- 10:43Speaker 13: ever larger goals is absolutely indispensable to the development of
- 10:50Speaker 13: ever higher levels of self confidence and personal power. You
- 10:55Speaker 13: can only really believe in yourself when you absolutely know
- 10:59Speaker 13: that you have the ability to do what you set
- 11:02Speaker 13: out to do. True self confidence does not come from
- 11:05Speaker 13: positive wishing or positive hoping or positive thinking. It comes
- 11:10Speaker 13: from positive knowing, based on having proven to yourself over
- 11:15Speaker 13: and over again that you have what it takes to
- 11:18Speaker 13: get from wherever you are to wherever you want to go.
- 11:22Speaker 13: Self confidence is a state of mind. It is an attitude,
- 11:26Speaker 13: and as an attitude, it is more important than facts. However,
- 11:32Speaker 13: it must be based on facts to be the kind
- 11:35Speaker 13: of self confidence you can rely on in a crunch.
- 11:39Speaker 13: Your job is to do whatever it takes to convince
- 11:43Speaker 13: yourself in your heart that you are absolutely unstoppable and
- 11:48Speaker 13: that you can achieve anything that you put your mind to.
- 11:52Speaker 13: If Self confidence is an attitude of mind. It is
- 11:56Speaker 13: based on mental principles and mental laws, foremost of which
- 12:02Speaker 13: is thought is creative. You are not what you think
- 12:05Speaker 13: you are, but what you think you are. As you
- 12:09Speaker 13: systematically and deliberately change your thinking about yourself, your outer
- 12:14Speaker 13: reality changes to conform with it. Your thoughts create your life,
- 12:19Speaker 13: including and especially your thoughts with regard to your feelings
- 12:22Speaker 13: of self confidence. The reason that goals are so important
- 12:26Speaker 13: is because of these mental laws, the consequences of which
- 12:30Speaker 13: are inevitable and inescapable. You are happy and successful to
- 12:34Speaker 13: the degree to which you conform your life and your
- 12:36Speaker 13: thinking to these laws and live in harmony with them.
- 12:40Speaker 13: The first law, which we have already discussed, is the
- 12:44Speaker 13: law of cause and effect. This law is so simple
- 12:49Speaker 13: and powerful that you need to remind yourself of it
- 12:51Speaker 13: all the time. Everything that happens in your life, success
- 12:55Speaker 13: or failure, wealth or poverty, health or illness, happiness or unhappy, happiness,
- 13:00Speaker 13: self confidence or insecurity, are all subject to this law.
- 13:06Speaker 13: The Bible teaches this basic law as the principle of
- 13:11Speaker 13: sowing and reaping.
- 13:13Speaker 1: It says that whatsoever a man.
- 13:15Speaker 13: Soweth, that also shall he reap This especially refers to
- 13:19Speaker 13: the thoughts you think. If you sow positive, optimistic, uplifting
- 13:23Speaker 13: thoughts in your mind, you will reap positive, optimistic, uplifting
- 13:27Speaker 13: events and experiences in your life. It cannot be otherwise.
- 13:32Speaker 13: If you sew clear goals and objectives in your mind,
- 13:34Speaker 13: you will reap clear results and rewards in your outer life.
- 13:38Speaker 11: Every time you reach the next level, you grow, and
- 13:41Speaker 11: every time you grow, your potential changes. After you conquer
- 13:46Speaker 11: that challenge, you discover that what you are now capable
- 13:49Speaker 11: of has changed. You have more strength to conquer higher mountains.
- 13:56Speaker 11: If you are going to reach your true potential, you
- 13:58Speaker 11: have much bigger challenges to face. There's an unlimited amount
- 14:02Speaker 11: of mountains to climb because your growth is unlimited. And
- 14:06Speaker 11: because your growth is unlimited, that means your potential is
- 14:09Speaker 11: also unlimited. It's never ending, a never ending journey of
- 14:15Speaker 11: growth and expansion.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Your growth is unlimited in every area.
- 14:20Speaker 11: What can I do now to make those changes so
- 14:24Speaker 11: I can reach the next level in my health because
- 14:27Speaker 11: the new energy I will get from better health is
- 14:29Speaker 11: going to help me get to the next level in
- 14:32Speaker 11: other areas as well. What can I learn or commit
- 14:36Speaker 11: to now to make that area of my life better.
- 14:40Speaker 11: Can my mental health and self image be better? What
- 14:45Speaker 11: can I work on every day to make sure my
- 14:47Speaker 11: inner talk and sense of self is better? Because the
- 14:50Speaker 11: better I feel about me, the better I am going
- 14:52Speaker 11: to show up in this world. When I get to
- 14:55Speaker 11: the end of my life. I want to know for
- 14:57Speaker 11: sure I left nothing on the table. I want to
- 15:01Speaker 11: know I gave my heart and soul to reach my
- 15:03Speaker 11: truest potential.
- 15:06Speaker 7: I want to know I did all I.
- 15:07Speaker 11: Could to carve out the greatest version of me. No regrets.
- 15:12Speaker 11: That's what it's about, having zero regrets. And you can
- 15:17Speaker 11: only have no regrets if you gave every ounce of
- 15:20Speaker 11: your soul while you were alive on this planet. Every
- 15:24Speaker 11: area can be mastered, So I am going to master
- 15:28Speaker 11: every area. What's the point in having one piece of
- 15:31Speaker 11: the pie. I'm cooking the whole thing. So I'm going
- 15:34Speaker 11: to enjoy the whole thing, piece by piece until my
- 15:37Speaker 11: soul is full. And it will never be full until
- 15:40Speaker 11: the end of my life when I look in the
- 15:43Speaker 11: mirror and can say honestly, I gave everything to be
- 15:47Speaker 11: my very best and I'm proud of who I have become.
- 15:51Speaker 11: Until that day, I will not stop. I want to
- 15:53Speaker 11: know what my life would be like if I just
- 15:56Speaker 11: gave everything I have for my goals and dreams, not
- 15:59Speaker 11: just one day every day.
- 16:01Speaker 1: What if I got better every.
- 16:02Speaker 11: Day, not just one day, a new piece of knowledge
- 16:05Speaker 11: I could use to benefit my future? How great could
- 16:09Speaker 11: I become? Ask yourself that question? How great could I become?
- 16:15Speaker 11: What areas of my life could be the very best
- 16:18Speaker 11: they have ever been? What could I commit to right
- 16:22Speaker 11: now to make absolutely sure I am pushing for my
- 16:26Speaker 11: highest potential. I want you to make that commitment today.
- 16:30Speaker 11: Do whatever you must do to ensure you get to
- 16:33Speaker 11: the end with no regrets.
