Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: The question is are you happy? And if you're not happy,
- 0:10Speaker 1: what's holding you back? What do you think that's the
- 0:13Speaker 1: source of your lack of happiness. What is it that
- 0:16Speaker 1: you think if we're to change it will make things
- 0:19Speaker 1: different for you, that you would be happy.
- 0:23Speaker 2: Somebody should tell us right at the start of our
- 0:25Speaker 2: lives that we're dying. Then we might live life to
- 0:29Speaker 2: the limit, every minute of every day. Whatever you want
- 0:37Speaker 2: to do, do it now. There are only so many tomorrows.
- 0:45Speaker 2: I say to you that if you're driven by anything
- 0:47Speaker 2: other than your love, than your spirit, your desire to
- 0:51Speaker 2: grow and expand, if you're driven by your need to
- 0:55Speaker 2: please others, if you're driven by your fear, if you're
- 0:58Speaker 2: driven by your past, it's time to free yourself. And
- 1:04Speaker 2: the way to do it is decide, decide consciously what
- 1:08Speaker 2: you want your life to be about.
- 1:10Speaker 3: Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.
- 1:16Speaker 3: It takes courage to act part of being hungry. When
- 1:20Speaker 3: you've been defeated, it takes courage to start over again.
- 1:26Speaker 4: You have got to be relentless.
- 1:30Speaker 3: You got to be the kind of person that you
- 1:33Speaker 3: are fearless, you are unstappable, the last chapter to your
- 1:40Speaker 3: life has not been written yet, and it doesn't matter
- 1:43Speaker 3: about what happened yesterday. You have something that you brought
- 1:48Speaker 3: to the universe, and that if you decide that my
- 1:51Speaker 3: life deserves my developing this what I do well, I
- 1:56Speaker 3: grant you you will never ever be without. I grant
- 1:59Speaker 3: you so that your gifts will take you places that
- 2:02Speaker 3: will literally amaze you.
- 2:06Speaker 5: Exercise your willpower to change direction, set some higher goals,
- 2:12Speaker 5: reach for some higher purpose, Go for something beyond what
- 2:16Speaker 5: you thought you could do. Face all your fears. That's
- 2:19Speaker 5: how you conquer them. Say here's what I'm afraid of.
- 2:21Speaker 5: I wonder what I could do to change that. Pick
- 2:25Speaker 5: a new destination and start going that way. Now you
- 2:30Speaker 5: can change one little degree at a time, or if
- 2:32Speaker 5: you want to, you can revolutionize the whole thing. Who
- 2:36Speaker 5: says you couldn't revolutionize the whole thing in a week's
- 2:39Speaker 5: time and start a brand new direction that will most
- 2:42Speaker 5: assuredly help you arrive in a brand new place a
- 2:45Speaker 5: year from now, three years from mount no telling, five
- 2:48Speaker 5: years from now where you could arrive. Use your willpower
- 2:52Speaker 5: to start the process.
- 2:53Speaker 4: Anybody can change.
- 2:55Speaker 5: You don't have to repeat last year.
- 2:57Speaker 4: Clean up the errors.
- 2:59Speaker 5: Invest it now in the next year, watch it make
- 3:01Speaker 5: the difference.
- 3:06Speaker 4: You will win if you don't quit.
- 3:09Speaker 1: You got to have stamina, You've got to have staying power,
- 3:14Speaker 1: You've got to make no your vitamin.
- 3:21Speaker 6: It breaks my heart to see people who could be geniuses,
- 3:25Speaker 6: who could be super healthy, who could have lots of prosperity,
- 3:28Speaker 6: who could be doing amazing things in their community, who
- 3:31Speaker 6: could be living gorgeous lives, serving the world, shining their
- 3:35Speaker 6: luminosity on the world, and they're stuck and they blame
- 3:41Speaker 6: it is because of my mom, it's because of my dad,
- 3:43Speaker 6: it's because of the country I live in. Just to whatever,
- 3:47Speaker 6: just I mean, that's we do create our reality through
- 3:55Speaker 6: our mindset, hearts at, health set, and soul set.
- 4:00Speaker 7: When you grow up, you tend to get told that
- 4:02Speaker 7: the world is the way that it is, and that
- 4:05Speaker 7: your life is to live your life inside the world
- 4:09Speaker 7: and try not to get in too much trouble and
- 4:11Speaker 7: maybe get an education and get a job and make
- 4:14Speaker 7: some money and have a family. But life can be
- 4:18Speaker 7: a lot broader than that when you realize one simple thing,
- 4:22Speaker 7: and that is that everything around us that we call
- 4:25Speaker 7: life was made up by people that are no smarter
- 4:29Speaker 7: than you. So build a life, don't live one.
- 4:34Speaker 4: Build one.
- 4:36Speaker 8: The AHA moment is the door that opens, but your
- 4:40Speaker 8: new life does not begin unless you can step.
- 4:43Speaker 4: Through the door.
- 4:45Speaker 8: Most people, when you have an AHA moment and the
- 4:47Speaker 8: door to your new life opens up, Instead of going
- 4:51Speaker 8: I got this, let's go and high fiving yourself to
- 4:54Speaker 8: step forward, most of us go I don't know if
- 4:58Speaker 8: I'm worth it. I don't know if right now is
- 5:01Speaker 8: the right time to do this. I don't think I'm
- 5:03Speaker 8: good enough. I've failed so many times. I can't go
- 5:05Speaker 8: through that door. That there is somewhere in your life
- 5:09Speaker 8: that you know what you want. You can feel it
- 5:13Speaker 8: pulling you, and you are actively arguing against it. You're
- 5:17Speaker 8: bringing yourself down, You're beating yourself out.
- 5:20Speaker 9: Don't never be ashamed of anything you've done in your life.
- 5:22Speaker 9: Face it, fix it, make it better, Build belief, build
- 5:26Speaker 9: confidence to the point where nothing can hurt you because
- 5:30Speaker 9: you know exactly who you are. You've faced your demons
- 5:33Speaker 9: in your mind. You were able to hear all your
- 5:35Speaker 9: past traumas. You're able to listen to them. You're able
- 5:38Speaker 9: to say, okay, now I can now talk to people
- 5:41Speaker 9: about what I would do. I'm no longer embarrassed. I'm
- 5:43Speaker 9: no longer ashamed. Being ashamed one of the biggest things
- 5:46Speaker 9: that people nowadays in their minds kill them from moving forward.
- 5:49Speaker 9: I'm ashamed of myself. We are humans, But then again,
- 5:52Speaker 9: if you always think that we're humans, you will always
- 5:55Speaker 9: just be a human and always make the same mistakes.
- 6:00Speaker 9: Go through the archives, dig it up, study it, and
- 6:02Speaker 9: then use it for yourself.
- 6:04Speaker 10: You can't count the cost when you want something bad.
- 6:08Speaker 10: You can't count the cost because if you count the
- 6:10Speaker 10: cost and you see how much it costs, you might quit.
- 6:13Speaker 10: You might give up. So you gotta go in knowing
- 6:15Speaker 10: that I don't counter car. I do as many push
- 6:17Speaker 10: up as the take, as many sit up as the take,
- 6:20Speaker 10: as many reps as it takes. I study as long
- 6:22Speaker 10: as it takes. I pay whatever the price is. Why
- 6:25Speaker 10: because if I start counting the cost, I might quit.
- 6:28Speaker 10: I might give up. I might suret don't count the cost.
- 6:31Speaker 10: You don't count the.
- 6:31Speaker 4: Costs on this one.
- 6:32Speaker 10: You don't care how many press will take. You don't
- 6:35Speaker 10: count it. You'll get to a point when you don't
- 6:37Speaker 10: count it. You just do whatever it takes to get
- 6:39Speaker 10: whatever you want.
- 6:40Speaker 5: We've been given the dignity of choice to become part
- 6:47Speaker 5: of what we could be, or to become all that
- 6:53Speaker 5: we could be.
- 6:56Speaker 4: The price of success.
- 6:59Speaker 11: To be a doctor, you must pay the price of
- 7:01Speaker 11: long years of difficult study to be successful in selling,
- 7:05Speaker 11: And remember that each of us succeeds to the extent
- 7:07Speaker 11: of his ability to sell. Selling our families and our ideas,
- 7:11Speaker 11: selling education in schools, selling our children on the advantages
- 7:15Speaker 11: of living the good and honest life, Selling our associates
- 7:18Speaker 11: and employees on the importance of being exceptional people. Also,
- 7:22Speaker 11: of course, the profession of selling itself. To be successful
- 7:26Speaker 11: in selling our way to the good life, we must
- 7:28Speaker 11: be willing to pay the price. Now what is that price? Well,
- 7:34Speaker 11: it's many things. First, it's understanding emotionally as well as intellectually,
- 7:38Speaker 11: that we literally become what we think about. That we
- 7:41Speaker 11: must control our thoughts if we're to control our lives.
- 7:45Speaker 11: It's understanding fully that as you sow, so shall you reap. Second,
- 7:50Speaker 11: it's cutting away all fetters from the mind and permitting
- 7:53Speaker 11: it to sore as it was divinely designed to do.
- 7:56Speaker 11: It's the realization that your limitations are self imposed, and
- 8:00Speaker 11: that the opportunities for you to day are enormous beyond belief.
- 8:05Speaker 11: It's rising above narrow minded pettiness and prejudice. Third, it's
- 8:10Speaker 11: using all your courage to force yourself to think positively
- 8:14Speaker 11: on your own problems. To set a definite and clearly
- 8:17Speaker 11: defined goal for yourself. To let your marvelous mind think
- 8:20Speaker 11: about your goal from all possible angles. To let your
- 8:24Speaker 11: imagination speculate freely upon many different possible solutions. To refuse
- 8:29Speaker 11: to believe that there are any circumstances sufficiently strong enough
- 8:33Speaker 11: to defeat you in the accomplishment of your purpose. To
- 8:36Speaker 11: act promptly and decisively when your course is clear.
- 8:39Speaker 4: And to keep.
- 8:40Speaker 11: Constantly aware of the fact that you are at this
- 8:43Speaker 11: moment standing in the middle of your own acre of diamonds,
- 8:46Speaker 11: as Russell Conwell used to point out. And Fourth, save
- 8:50Speaker 11: at least ten percent of every dollar you earn. It's
- 8:54Speaker 11: also remembering that no matter what your present job, it
- 8:58Speaker 11: has enormous possibilities if you are willing to pay the price.
- 9:01Speaker 11: By keeping these four points in mind, you will become
- 9:05Speaker 11: what you think about. Remember the word imagination, and let
- 9:08Speaker 11: your mind begin to soar courageously concentrate on your goal
- 9:13Speaker 11: every day, save ten percent of what you earn. Finally,
- 9:18Speaker 11: take action. Ideas are worth us unless we act on them. Now,
- 9:22Speaker 11: I'll try to outline the thirty day test I want
- 9:24Speaker 11: you to take. Keep in mind that you have nothing
- 9:26Speaker 11: to lose by taking this test and everything you could
- 9:30Speaker 11: possibly want to gain. There are two things that may
- 9:33Speaker 11: be said of everyone. Each of us want something, and
- 9:36Speaker 11: each of us is afraid of something. I want you
- 9:39Speaker 11: to write on a card what it is you want
- 9:41Speaker 11: more than anything else.
- 9:42Speaker 4: It may be more money.
- 9:45Speaker 11: Perhaps you'd like to double your income or make a
- 9:47Speaker 11: specific amount of money. It may be a beautiful home.
- 9:51Speaker 11: It may be success at your job. It may be
- 9:54Speaker 11: a particular position in life. It could be a more
- 9:57Speaker 11: harmonious family. Abundance is yours for the asking. Each of
- 10:02Speaker 11: us wants something. Write down on your card specifically what
- 10:05Speaker 11: it is you want. Make sure it's a single goal
- 10:08Speaker 11: and clearly defined. You needn't show it to anyone, but
- 10:11Speaker 11: carry it with you so that you can look at
- 10:13Speaker 11: it several times a day, think about it in a cheerful, relaxed,
- 10:18Speaker 11: positive way each morning when you get up and immediately
- 10:21Speaker 11: you have something to work for, something to get out
- 10:25Speaker 11: of bed for something to live for.
- 10:28Speaker 4: Look at it every chance you get during the day
- 10:30Speaker 4: and just before going to bed at night.
- 10:32Speaker 11: And as you look at it, remember that you must
- 10:34Speaker 11: become what you think about. And since you're thinking about
- 10:37Speaker 11: your goal, you realize that soon it will be yours.
- 10:40Speaker 11: In fact, it's really yours the moment you write it
- 10:42Speaker 11: down and begin to think about it. Look at the
- 10:44Speaker 11: abundance all around you as you go about your daily business.
- 10:48Speaker 11: You have as much right to this abundance as any
- 10:50Speaker 11: other living creature. It's yours for the asking. Now we
- 10:54Speaker 11: come to the difficult part. Difficult because it means the
- 10:57Speaker 11: formation of what is probably a brand new have it
- 11:00Speaker 11: when new habits are not easily formed. Once formed, however,
- 11:03Speaker 11: it will follow you for the rest of your life.
- 11:05Speaker 11: Stop thinking about what it is you fear. Each time
- 11:08Speaker 11: a fearful or negative thought comes into your consciousness, replace
- 11:12Speaker 11: it with a mental picture of your positive and worthwhile goal,
- 11:15Speaker 11: and there will come a time when you'll feel like
- 11:17Speaker 11: giving up. It's easier for a human being to think
- 11:19Speaker 11: negatively than positively. That's why only five percent are successful.
- 11:24Speaker 11: You must begin now to place yourself in that group.
- 11:27Speaker 11: For thirty days, you must take control of your mind.
- 11:29Speaker 11: It will think only about what you permitted to think about.
- 11:32Speaker 11: All you have to do is know where you're going.
- 11:34Speaker 11: Each day for this thirty day test, do more than
- 11:37Speaker 11: you have to do in addition to maintaining a cheerful,
- 11:40Speaker 11: positive outlook, give of yourself more than you have ever
- 11:43Speaker 11: done before. Do this knowing that your returns in life
- 11:46Speaker 11: must be in direct proportion to what you give. The
- 11:48Speaker 11: moment you decide on a goal to work toward, you
- 11:51Speaker 11: are immediately a successful person. You are then in that
- 11:54Speaker 11: rare and successful category of people who know where they're going.
- 11:57Speaker 11: Out of every hundred people, you belong to the top five.
- 12:01Speaker 11: Don't concern yourself too much with how you are going
- 12:04Speaker 11: to achieve your goal. Lead that completely to a power
- 12:07Speaker 11: greater than yourself. All you have to do is know
- 12:09Speaker 11: where you're going. The answers will come to you of
- 12:11Speaker 11: their own accord and at the right time. Remember these
- 12:14Speaker 11: words from the Sermon on the Mount, and remember them well,
- 12:18Speaker 11: keep them constantly before you during this month of your test.
- 12:21Speaker 11: Ask and it shall be given. You, Seek and ye
- 12:24Speaker 11: shall find, Knock and it shall be opened unto you.
- 12:29Speaker 11: For everyone that asketh receiveth and he that seeketh findeth,
- 12:33Speaker 11: and to him that knocketh, it shall be open. It's
- 12:36Speaker 11: as marvelous and as simple as that. In fact, it's
- 12:38Speaker 11: so simple that, in our seemingly complicated world, it's difficult
- 12:42Speaker 11: for an adult to understand that all he or she
- 12:45Speaker 11: needs is a purpose and faith. For thirty days, do
- 12:49Speaker 11: your very best, no matter what your job. Do it
- 12:53Speaker 11: as you've never done it before. Firthy days, and if
- 12:56Speaker 11: you've kept your goal before you, every day you'll wonder
- 12:59Speaker 11: and why this new life you've found. Dorothea Brandy, the
- 13:03Speaker 11: outstanding editor and writer, discovered it for herself and tells
- 13:07Speaker 11: about it in her fine book Wake Up and Live.
- 13:10Speaker 11: Her entire philosophy is reduced to the words act as
- 13:13Speaker 11: though it were impossible to fail.
- 13:16Speaker 4: She made her own test with.
- 13:18Speaker 11: Sincerity and faith, and her entire life was changed to
- 13:22Speaker 11: one of overwhelming success. Now you make your test for
- 13:26Speaker 11: thirty full days. Don't start your test until you've made
- 13:29Speaker 11: up your mind to stick with it. You see, by
- 13:32Speaker 11: being persistent, you're demonstrating faith. Persistence is simply another word
- 13:37Speaker 11: for faith. If you didn't have faith, you would never
- 13:40Speaker 11: persist if you should fail during your first thirty days.
- 13:44Speaker 11: By that, I mean suddenly find yourself overwhelmed by negative thoughts.
- 13:48Speaker 11: You've got to start over again from that point and
- 13:50Speaker 11: go thirty more days.
- 13:52Speaker 4: Gradually your new habit.
- 13:54Speaker 11: Will form until you find yourself one of that wonderful
- 13:57Speaker 11: minority to whom virtually nothing is impossible. And don't forget
- 14:01Speaker 11: the card. It's vitally important as you begin this new
- 14:04Speaker 11: way of living. On one side of the card, write
- 14:06Speaker 11: your goal, whatever it may be. On the other side,
- 14:11Speaker 11: write these words. You become what you think about it.
- 14:14Speaker 11: In your spare time during your test period, read books
- 14:17Speaker 11: that will help you, inspirational books like Dorothea Brand's Wake
- 14:21Speaker 11: Up and Live, The Magic of Believing by Claude Bristol,
- 14:25Speaker 11: The Bible, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, and
- 14:28Speaker 11: any other books that instruct and inspire. Nothing great was
- 14:32Speaker 11: ever accomplished without inspiration. See that during these crucial first
- 14:36Speaker 11: thirty days, your own inspiration is kept at a peak.
- 14:41Speaker 11: Above all, don't worry. Worry brings fear, and fear is crippling.
- 14:49Speaker 11: The only thing that can cause you to worry during
- 14:51Speaker 11: your test is trying to do it all yourself. Know
- 14:54Speaker 11: that all you have to do is hold your goal
- 14:57Speaker 11: before you. Everything else will take care of itself. Remember
- 15:01Speaker 11: also to keep calm and cheerful. Don't let petty things
- 15:05Speaker 11: annoy you and get you off course.
