Transcript
- 0:07Speaker 1: All that you have at the moment. You've attracted by
- 0:11Speaker 1: the person you are. If you will change yourself, everything
- 0:18Speaker 1: else will change for you. You don't have to change
- 0:25Speaker 1: what's outside. All you've got to change is what's inside.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Don't wish it were easier, wish that you were better.
- 0:37Speaker 1: Don't wish for fewer problems, wish for more skills. It's
- 0:46Speaker 1: not what happens in the world that determines the major
- 0:49Speaker 1: part of your future. What happens happens to us. All
- 1:00Speaker 1: he is what you do about it. Life is the
- 1:12Speaker 1: struggle to keep death at a respectable distance. Would there
- 1:18Speaker 1: be life without death? Death seems to want to move
- 1:27Speaker 1: in prematurely, and you've got to push it back to
- 1:29Speaker 1: live as long as you possibly can. Illness is out
- 1:33Speaker 1: to push your health into a small corner. You've got
- 1:37Speaker 1: to make sure that your health regiments are out to
- 1:39Speaker 1: push your illnesses into a small corner. Life will give
- 1:43Speaker 1: you some pretty big challenges, but unless you practice on
- 1:46Speaker 1: the small ones and master those, you don't have a
- 1:49Speaker 1: chance on the major ones. If you lost everything tomorrow
- 1:56Speaker 1: and you were gathering all the courage to try again,
- 1:59Speaker 1: it would take a lot of self appreciation. You need
- 2:05Speaker 1: to know in your heart and mind that you have
- 2:07Speaker 1: the skills, the talent, and the strength to do it
- 2:11Speaker 1: one more time. Resilience is the ability to bounce back
- 2:19Speaker 1: from adversity, no matter how large or how small. You
- 2:27Speaker 1: have to approach the situation rationally and figure out how
- 2:31Speaker 1: to bounce back from your loss. Children who grow up
- 2:39Speaker 1: in the unfortunate circumstances of poverty, abuse, or neglect and
- 2:45Speaker 1: later become successful are known as dandelion children. If they
- 2:50Speaker 1: can succeed and prosper amidst terrible conditions, they can grow anywhere.
- 2:56Speaker 1: It's important to be more like a dandelion child to
- 3:00Speaker 1: be able to grow and prosper and succeed despite our
- 3:04Speaker 1: current conditions and losses. To be resilient. A resilient person
- 3:09Speaker 1: won't give up. A resilient person will, in spite of
- 3:12Speaker 1: all obstacles and setbacks, keep doing it until everything is
- 3:17Speaker 1: back on track. I've got a good question for you,
- 3:23Speaker 1: is the best you can do all you can do?
- 3:27Speaker 1: Strangely enough, the answer is known. Imagine dropping to the
- 3:31Speaker 1: floor right now and doing as many push ups as
- 3:33Speaker 1: you possibly can. And let's say for some reason, you
- 3:36Speaker 1: haven't been doing any push ups lately, so the best
- 3:39Speaker 1: you can do is five? But is five all you
- 3:43Speaker 1: can ever do? The answer is no. If you rest
- 3:51Speaker 1: a little, you can do five more, and if you
- 3:55Speaker 1: rest a little more, you can do five more. How
- 3:59Speaker 1: did we get from from five to fifteen? It's a miracle.
- 4:05Speaker 1: If you continue that pattern, is it possible to get
- 4:08Speaker 1: up to fifty push ups? It's all a matter of discipline,
- 4:16Speaker 1: and it begins with one simple step, doing what you can.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Once you have done that, you can keep working to
- 4:29Speaker 1: bring your best to a higher level. Each time you
- 4:39Speaker 1: complete an activity and take a rest, you're preparing yourself
- 4:43Speaker 1: for an even greater accomplishment. Don't rest too long, because
- 4:52Speaker 1: the weeds can take over the garden. Kids have that
- 4:57Speaker 1: figured out. They take rest at as a necessity, not
- 5:02Speaker 1: an objective. Do battle with the enemy, Do battle with
- 5:07Speaker 1: your fears. Build your courage to fight what's holding you back,
- 5:12Speaker 1: what's keeping you from your goals and dreams. Be courageous
- 5:17Speaker 1: in your life and in your pursuit of the things
- 5:19Speaker 1: you want and the person you want to become. Focus
- 5:24Speaker 1: on accomplishing what's right in front of you at this moment.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Ignore what's often a distant someplace substitute real time positive
- 5:34Speaker 1: thinking for negative future visualization. Discipline yourself to look neither
- 5:43Speaker 1: forward nor backward, and you can accomplish things you never
- 5:47Speaker 1: thought you could possibly do. You can do the most
- 5:51Speaker 1: remarkable things no matter what happens, Whether or not your
- 5:55Speaker 1: loss has had anything to do with you, your future success
- 5:59Speaker 1: has everything to do with you. People can do incredible things,
- 6:04Speaker 1: unbelievable things, despite the most impossible or disastrous circumstances. Humans
- 6:12Speaker 1: can turn nothing into something, disaster into success. Be grateful
- 6:19Speaker 1: for your adversity. Make your failures give birth to great opportunity,
- 6:24Speaker 1: not prolonged agony. The world will willingly sit by and
- 6:28Speaker 1: let you wallow in your sorrows until you die, broke
- 6:32Speaker 1: and alone. The world doesn't care whether you choose to
- 6:36Speaker 1: stop here or to go on, so you have to care.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Don't settle for mere existence and self pity. Make a
- 6:45Speaker 1: commitment to excellence. The doors will open once you decide
- 6:50Speaker 1: to get back on your feet and make your mark.
- 6:55Speaker 1: If you don't like how something is going for you,
- 6:57Speaker 1: change it. If something isn't enough, change it. If something
- 7:02Speaker 1: doesn't suit you, change it. You don't ever have to
- 7:06Speaker 1: be the same after today. If there is one thing
- 7:10Speaker 1: to get excited about. It's your ability to make yourself
- 7:14Speaker 1: do the necessary things to get a desired result, to
- 7:18Speaker 1: build the negative into success. That's true excitement. When you
- 7:37Speaker 1: start responding instead of reacting to life, life will start
- 7:41Speaker 1: responding to you. What is the measure of success results
- 7:47Speaker 1: all life asks is that we make measurable progress in
- 7:52Speaker 1: reasonable time. The things that are easy to do are
- 7:57Speaker 1: also easy not to do. The difference between success and
- 8:02Speaker 1: failure between day dreams and ambitions. Dreams are a projection
- 8:09Speaker 1: of the kind of life you want to lead. When
- 8:12Speaker 1: you allow your dreams to pull you forward, they unleash
- 8:16Speaker 1: a creative force that can overpower everything in your way.
- 8:22Speaker 1: The smallest of disciplines can thereby transform your life. The
- 8:32Speaker 1: voice within us says, get it done. Discipline then says
- 8:37Speaker 1: do it now to the best of your ability. Heed
- 8:41Speaker 1: this voice always, and the habit will become instinctive. The
- 8:51Speaker 1: rewards of a disciplined life are great, but they're often
- 8:54Speaker 1: delayed until sometime in the future. Unfortunately, most of us
- 9:03Speaker 1: would choose today's pleasure over tomorrow's fortune. You've got to
- 9:11Speaker 1: really work on your consistent self discipline on a daily basis.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Otherwise you'll find yourself distracted, distracted by negative thoughts, distracted
- 9:21Speaker 1: by negative people, distracted by self doubt. Never underestimate the
- 9:36Speaker 1: power of your own consistent self discipline. Accepting responsibility is
- 9:53Speaker 1: one of the highest forms of human maturity. It's not
- 10:04Speaker 1: what happens in the world that determines the major part
- 10:07Speaker 1: of your future. What happens happens to us all. The
- 10:11Speaker 1: key is what you do about it. Think of more
- 10:20Speaker 1: ways and means to use your own wisdom, your own philosophy,
- 10:25Speaker 1: use your own attitude, your own faith, your own courage,
- 10:29Speaker 1: your own commitment, your own desires, your own excitement. Whether
- 10:38Speaker 1: you're on your way to achieving your goals or you've
- 10:40Speaker 1: already gotten there, you'll be as happy as you make
- 10:44Speaker 1: up your mind to be. Right now, work on all
- 10:59Speaker 1: the disciplines small as well as large, that will improve
- 11:03Speaker 1: the quality of your life.
