- 0:06Speaker 1: It is our attitude toward life which will determine life's
- 0:10Speaker 1: attitude toward us. Let's face the fact, honestly, that we
- 0:14Speaker 1: shape our own lives, and the shapes of them will
- 0:17Speaker 1: be determined by our attitudes. If we take the attitude
- 0:21Speaker 1: that we cannot do something, we generally will not do it,
- 0:25Speaker 1: an attitude of failure, and we're whipped before we start.
- 0:30Speaker 1: What we receive from life, what we accomplish or fail
- 0:33Speaker 1: to accomplish, is due in large measure to our overall attitude.
- 0:42Speaker 1: Human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes
- 0:46Speaker 1: of mind. We're so familiar with ourselves we tend to
- 0:51Speaker 1: take ourselves for granted. We tend to minimize the things
- 0:54Speaker 1: we can accomplish, the goals we can reach, and for
- 0:57Speaker 1: some equally strange reason, believe others can accomplish things in
- 1:00Speaker 1: our field which we cannot.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Change.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Is the one thing in life on which we can
- 1:10Speaker 1: absolutely count. See it for what it really is, new opportunity,
- 1:15Speaker 1: new chances for further fulfillment. Attitude is a reflection a
- 1:25Speaker 1: result of a person's will. It is incalculably powerful, but
- 1:30Speaker 1: we need to train it patiently, day by day. Successful
- 1:37Speaker 1: people come in all shapes and sizes, and in widely
- 1:39Speaker 1: varying degrees of intelligence, background, and so on, But they
- 1:43Speaker 1: all have one thing in common. They expect more good
- 1:46Speaker 1: out of life than bad. They expect to succeed more
- 1:49Speaker 1: than they fail. If you want something worthwhile, take the
- 1:57Speaker 1: attitude that there are a lot more reasons why you
- 1:59Speaker 1: can have it when there are that you cannot, and
- 2:01Speaker 1: set out to earn it. Go after it, work at it,
- 2:04Speaker 1: ask for it. Our environment is really a mirror of
- 2:10Speaker 1: our mental attitude. If we don't like our environment, we
- 2:13Speaker 1: have to change our attitude first. But the important question
- 2:16Speaker 1: here is do you know this. The minute you do
- 2:20Speaker 1: know it, you will have this right attitude. I'm talking
- 2:22Speaker 1: about the easiest and most effective means of forming a
- 2:27Speaker 1: good attitude habit is to begin to act as though
- 2:31Speaker 1: you have a good, positive expectant.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Attitude toward life.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Actions trigger feelings just as feelings trigger actions. The good
- 2:39Speaker 1: attitude can change a person's life as dramatically as walking
- 2:42Speaker 1: from a darkened room into the bright, clear light of day.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Life is dull only to dull people.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Life is interesting only to interesting people, or life is
- 2:56Speaker 1: successful only to successful people. You must first become mentally
- 3:01Speaker 1: from an attitude standpoint, that which you wish to achieve.
- 3:09Speaker 1: A person must act, look, and feel successful before the
- 3:13Speaker 1: success he seeks can come. Now, it makes no difference
- 3:17Speaker 1: how good a person's attitude has been in the past.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Anything can be improved upon, and it's the small refinements
- 3:23Speaker 1: upon something already good that makes it great. If the
- 3:25Speaker 1: result you want is more success in what you're doing,
- 3:28Speaker 1: act as though you are already in possession of the
- 3:31Speaker 1: success you seek. Every human being on earth is the
- 3:34Speaker 1: most important human being on earth as far as he
- 3:38Speaker 1: or she is concerned. You may never get anyone to
- 3:42Speaker 1: admit it, but it's a fact. Treat every person with
- 3:45Speaker 1: whom you come in contact as the most important person
- 3:48Speaker 1: on earth. And the reason I say treat everyone in
- 3:51Speaker 1: this fashion is mainly because this is the way human
- 3:53Speaker 1: beings ought to treat each other, and because it will
- 3:55Speaker 1: help you form a habit that will bring you amazing
- 3:58Speaker 1: and delightful results for the rest of your life. Act
- 4:01Speaker 1: toward others in the world at large in exactly the
- 4:03Speaker 1: same manner you want the world and others.
- 4:05Speaker 2: To act toward you.
- 4:09Speaker 1: Before metal can be cast into a desired shape, the mold.
- 4:13Speaker 1: The expected receptacle must first be fashioned. Before a building
- 4:17Speaker 1: can be erected, the excavation must be made and the
- 4:20Speaker 1: foundation laid. And before a person can achieve the kind
- 4:24Speaker 1: of life he wants, he must become that.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Kind of individual.
- 4:28Speaker 1: He must think, act, talk, walk, and conduct himself in
- 4:32Speaker 1: all of his affairs as would the person he wishes
- 4:35Speaker 1: to become. He is then actually that person, and the
- 4:39Speaker 1: things that person would have and do will naturally come
- 4:42Speaker 1: to him. Almost immediately, a change will be noticed. Irritations
- 4:49Speaker 1: that used to frustrate and annoy disappear. It is our
- 4:55Speaker 1: attitude toward life which determines life's attitude toward us. Interdependent,
- 5:01Speaker 1: It is impossible to succeed without others, and it is
- 5:04Speaker 1: our attitude toward others which will determine their attitude toward us.
- 5:16Speaker 1: Your mind can hold only one thought of the time,
- 5:19Speaker 1: and since there's nothing at all a be gained by
- 5:20Speaker 1: being negative, be positive. Don't waste valuable time broadcasting personal problems.
- 5:28Speaker 1: It probably won't help you, it cannot help others. There
- 5:35Speaker 1: are literally millions of human beings living narrow, darkened, frustrated lives,
- 5:40Speaker 1: living defensively simply because they take a defensive, doubtful attitude
- 5:44Speaker 1: toward themselves and as a result, toward life in general.
- 5:51Speaker 3: We become what we think about.
- 6:00Speaker 1: You are at this moment the living embodiment of the
- 6:03Speaker 1: sum total of your thoughts to this point in your life. Similarly,
- 6:11Speaker 1: five years from now, you will be the sum total
- 6:13Speaker 1: of your thoughts to that point in time.
- 6:20Speaker 2: You can control your thoughts.
- 6:22Speaker 1: You can decide upon that on which you wish to concentrate.
- 6:36Speaker 2: By thinking every morning, every night.
- 6:37Speaker 1: And as many times during the days again about this
- 6:40Speaker 1: exciting single goal we've established ourselves, we actually begin moving
- 6:44Speaker 1: toward it and bringing it toward us. Each of us,
- 6:50Speaker 1: each one of us, not the economy or fate or luck.
- 6:54Speaker 1: Each one of us is in charge of his or
- 6:57Speaker 1: her own life. Each one of us is completely responsible.
- 7:08Speaker 1: The person without a purpose is like a ship without
- 7:11Speaker 1: a rudder. Have a purpose in life, and having it
- 7:15Speaker 1: throw such strength of mind and muscling the ear work
- 7:17Speaker 1: as God.
- 7:18Speaker 2: Has given you.
- 7:21Speaker 1: A person with a half vollition goes backward and forward
- 7:25Speaker 1: and makes no way on the smoothest road. But the
- 7:28Speaker 1: person with a whole volition advances on the roughest and
- 7:32Speaker 1: will reach his own purpose.
- 7:34Speaker 2: If there be even a little wisdom in it.
- 7:44Speaker 1: A purpose underlies character, culture, position, attainment of every sort.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Thirteen You are now, and you most certainly will become.
- 8:10Speaker 3: What you think about.
- 9:19Speaker 2: Imagination is the beginning of creation.
- 9:23Speaker 1: You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine, and.
- 9:28Speaker 2: At last you create what you will. We so often
- 9:38Speaker 2: permit our imagination to be confined by our environment and conditions.
- 9:42Speaker 1: One of the wonderful things about human imagination is that
- 9:45Speaker 1: it can break out of the barriers that tend to limits.
- 9:47Speaker 2: Physically, it can fly away the greener yells. It can
- 9:51Speaker 2: see things not as they are now, but as they
- 9:52Speaker 2: can be. We understand the power of imagination.
- 10:01Speaker 1: We realize that that upon which our imagination becomes fixed
- 10:06Speaker 1: tends to turn into reality.
