Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: We're affected by how we feel. First, we're affected by
- 0:04Speaker 1: what we know and the decisions we make. Second, we're
- 0:06Speaker 1: affected by attitude how we feel. That's how you feel
- 0:11Speaker 1: about the past. You got to have a good attitude
- 0:14Speaker 1: about the past. Use it as a school, not a club.
- 0:17Speaker 1: Don't beat yourself to death with your past, false failures, losses.
- 0:22Speaker 2: Let the past be a school high school.
- 0:24Speaker 1: Maybe let the past be a school master to teach you,
- 0:29Speaker 1: not to threaten you, but to teach you.
- 0:31Speaker 2: Next, it's how you feel about the future. Set your goals.
- 0:36Speaker 1: The promise of the future is an awesomble force to
- 0:40Speaker 1: affect your life every day. Without a future well designed,
- 0:43Speaker 1: you take hesitant steps. Appreciate all of this stuff, with
- 0:47Speaker 1: all of its ups and downs, with all of its
- 0:50Speaker 1: mystery of why it works and sometimes it doesn't work.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Don't challenge this. You don't have to ask for another planet.
- 0:58Speaker 1: You don't have to ask for another country. Just ask
- 1:00Speaker 1: for another book, ask for another idea. The formula for
- 1:04Speaker 1: failure and a few errors in judgment, repeated every day
- 1:07Speaker 1: for one month, starts the weakness. Starts the disaster process.
- 1:11Speaker 1: You can imagine what happens in six years. Now here's
- 1:14Speaker 1: the formula for success.
- 1:16Speaker 2: A few simple disciplines practiced.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Every day, and you've started a whole new process called
- 1:30Speaker 1: a whole new life. A few simple disciplines practiced every day.
- 1:34Speaker 1: What am I not doing? That would be easy to do?
- 1:38Speaker 1: That could greatly change my health, my wealth? What am
- 1:43Speaker 1: I not doing?
- 1:44Speaker 2: I'm neglecting that would be easy to do.
- 1:49Speaker 1: If you'll start that process, eliminate the errors and replace
- 1:54Speaker 1: it with disciplines practiced. I'm telling you to start this
- 1:57Speaker 1: process of life change immediately today. You don't ever have
- 2:01Speaker 1: to be the same again, only by choice. You say, well,
- 2:05Speaker 1: the country's messed up. That's like cursing the soil and
- 2:08Speaker 1: cursing the seed and the sunshine and the rain, which
- 2:10Speaker 1: is all you got. Don't curse all you got. When
- 2:15Speaker 1: you get your own planet, you can rearrange this whole deal.
- 2:19Speaker 1: This one you got to take like it comes. So
- 2:23Speaker 1: number two with attitude. Here was number three. Activity. This
- 2:30Speaker 1: is the work part, the labor part, taking action. The
- 2:37Speaker 1: activity is the miracle working piece. A miracle being something
- 2:41Speaker 1: we don't quite understand how it works doesn't mean it
- 2:43Speaker 1: doesn't work. It means we just don't quite understand how
- 2:46Speaker 1: it works. Miracles work. We don't have to rub a
- 2:50Speaker 1: crystal and sleep under a pyramid. This stuff too easy.
- 2:53Speaker 1: To Getting rich is too easy. Changing your life is
- 2:55Speaker 1: too easy. Forget all that come on.
- 2:58Speaker 2: This stuff's too simple, just simple, easy stuff. But if
- 3:02Speaker 2: you neglect it, that's how it piles up year after year.
- 3:05Speaker 1: If you're willing to straighten it out. And here's one
- 3:07Speaker 1: of the keys. It's called activity. It's called disciplines. Turning
- 3:13Speaker 1: wisdom from your philosophy and inspiration, the strengthening of attitude, faith, courage, commitment,
- 3:22Speaker 1: all this stuff that comes from attitude. If you're willing
- 3:25Speaker 1: to take these two qualities philosophy and attitude and invest
- 3:29Speaker 1: it into activity, you can have a miracle.
- 3:34Speaker 2: Anything short of that no miracle.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Wisdom doesn't perform a miracle, Attitude doesn't perform a miracle.
- 3:40Speaker 1: The only thing that performs a miracle of increase, called equity,
- 3:42Speaker 1: is called putting wisdom and attitude into discipline, into labor.
- 3:50Speaker 2: And this labor now.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Can perform a miracle. And here's the two parts of
- 3:54Speaker 1: the labor. One do what you can. Number two, do
- 3:57Speaker 1: the best you can. Can't give you better advice than.
- 3:59Speaker 2: That could, should don't disaster. And if you'll just start
- 4:07Speaker 2: the process of.
- 4:08Speaker 1: Change, could, should, and will? You can start this whole process,
- 4:13Speaker 1: and if you will then put it into action, the
- 4:17Speaker 1: miracle belongs to you. Time is more valuable than money.
- 4:26Speaker 1: You can get more money, but unfortunately you can't get
- 4:29Speaker 1: more time. If somebody asks you to spend your money,
- 4:33Speaker 1: that's pretty easy, right, But what if.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Somebody asks you to spend a day?
- 4:37Speaker 1: Right? You got to think that over carefully, and I
- 4:40Speaker 1: know you did. I wouldn't waste one of my days,
- 4:42Speaker 1: not for anybody, not for anything, once I understood how
- 4:45Speaker 1: valuable they were, I don't waste any And who knows
- 4:49Speaker 1: the mystery of inspiration?
- 4:51Speaker 2: Why some people are inspired and some are not? Some
- 4:54Speaker 2: things I don't try to figure out.
- 4:56Speaker 1: I take the simple approach now, Right, some people and
- 5:00Speaker 1: some people don't. I mean, that's about as profound as
- 5:02Speaker 1: my philosophy is. Some go forward and some don't. Some
- 5:07Speaker 1: change and some don't. And if you've been around for
- 5:10Speaker 1: a while, you can usually work out the numbers right
- 5:13Speaker 1: out of ten, you know, three dudes, seven don't the
- 5:17Speaker 1: ones that do? The ones that don't, You say, well,
- 5:19Speaker 1: why don't the ones that don't? How come they don't.
- 5:22Speaker 2: We don't know. I just leave it as a mystery.
- 5:24Speaker 1: I used to try to understand all that the guy says,
- 5:27Speaker 1: this happens to me, This happens to me, this.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Goes wrong for me, and all this stuff goes wrong
- 5:30Speaker 2: for me. How come all this stuff happens to me?
- 5:32Speaker 2: I say, I don't know.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Between The best I've been able to figure out is
- 5:37Speaker 1: those kinds of things always happen to people like you.
- 5:39Speaker 2: I mean, that's the best I got. I don't know.
- 5:43Speaker 2: I'm an amateur on this stuff. What do I know?
- 5:46Speaker 1: Why would somebody mock and laugh? Easy explanation. They are
- 5:51Speaker 1: the mockers and the laughers. What else would you expect
- 5:54Speaker 1: them to do? Right? I used to be some naive
- 5:56Speaker 1: I used to say, a liar shouldn't lie. See how
- 5:59Speaker 1: naive can you be? Of course, they're supposed to lie.
- 6:02Speaker 1: That's why we call them liars. We lie, lie, and
- 6:07Speaker 1: you just have to leave it that way.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Why, because that's the way it's going to be.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Here's what locks up the doors and the channels to
- 6:13Speaker 1: receive more. Cynicism, that locks you away, that.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Prevents you from learning more. Being a cynic about the
- 6:21Speaker 2: past and the future.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Cynic about the marketplace, Cynical about the people, Cynical about
- 6:27Speaker 1: the institution, Cynical about the setup, Cynical about yourself, Cynical
- 6:33Speaker 1: about your chances.
- 6:34Speaker 3: See that locks away all the chance for stuff to
- 6:38Speaker 3: flow your way. Don't be a follower, be a student.
- 6:43Speaker 3: Don't be a follower. Be a student right. Take advice,
- 6:47Speaker 3: but not orders. Take information, but don't let somebody you
- 6:52Speaker 3: order your life. Make sure what you do is the
- 6:54Speaker 3: product of your own conclusion. Make sure what you do
- 6:57Speaker 3: is the product.
- 6:58Speaker 2: Of your own conclude. You should not to do what
- 7:02Speaker 2: someone else says.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Take what someone else says, process it, think about it,
- 7:07Speaker 1: ponder it. It makes you wonder, makes you think, and
- 7:11Speaker 1: the valuable. Then when you go take action, make sure
- 7:14Speaker 1: that the action is not what somebody told you to do.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Make sure the action is the product of your own conclusion.
- 7:20Speaker 1: The learning process can be speedy, swift, powerful, Your learning
- 7:24Speaker 1: curve can go up, and then applying it to your business,
- 7:26Speaker 1: your life, your family, conversations, equities of all kinds, philosophy.
- 7:31Speaker 2: To form our.
- 7:32Speaker 4: Philosophy, you gotta think, got to use your mind, got
- 7:36Speaker 4: to process ideas, and this whole process over a lifetime,
- 7:41Speaker 4: starting way back here when we were children.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Schools that we've attended, our parents are experiences. All this
- 7:48Speaker 1: stuff that we've processed by the thinking of the process
- 7:51Speaker 1: helps to develop our philosophy, and in my opinion, each
- 7:54Speaker 1: person's personal philosophy is the major factor in how your
- 7:58Speaker 1: life works. Out to think of the circumstances that ordered
- 8:01Speaker 1: my life. I threw all that old excuse stuff away.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Some people found it, though, and they're using it these days.
- 8:09Speaker 2: My old list.
- 8:11Speaker 1: I used to blame the traffic, the weather, used to
- 8:14Speaker 1: blame circumstances.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Right, people say.
- 8:17Speaker 1: I'm too too tall, I'm too short, I'm too old.
- 8:21Speaker 2: I was raised in security, raised on a farm, parents
- 8:24Speaker 2: of MoMA's means, all the stuff.
- 8:26Speaker 1: So I figured that, you know, my future was going
- 8:28Speaker 1: to be tied to what everybody else was arranging the economy,
- 8:32Speaker 1: right interest rates. I used to say things cost to much.
- 8:36Speaker 1: That was my whole explanation, not my philosophy, until my
- 8:41Speaker 1: teacher taught me better that this is where the problem was,
- 8:43Speaker 1: my own personal philosophy. Here's what's exciting about each person's
- 8:48Speaker 1: personal philosophy. That's what makes us different than dogs and animals, birds,
- 8:52Speaker 1: cats and spiders and alligators. That's what makes us different
- 8:57Speaker 1: than all of the life forms. The ability to think,
- 9:00Speaker 1: ability to use your mind, the ability to process ideas
- 9:03Speaker 1: and not just operate by instinct. But this one I
- 9:07Speaker 1: had to struggle with personal development. It was hard for
- 9:11Speaker 1: me to give up my old blame list. It was
- 9:14Speaker 1: so comfortable blaming the government and blaming my negative relatives
- 9:17Speaker 1: and the company, company policy, unions, wage scale, economy and
- 9:22Speaker 1: this grace, prices and circumstances and all that. That was
- 9:26Speaker 1: difficult for me to give up. That was quite a
- 9:29Speaker 1: transition for me to make and blaming myself. It's not
- 9:33Speaker 1: what happens that determines the major part of your future.
- 9:39Speaker 1: It's not what happens. What happens happens to us all.
- 9:44Speaker 1: He said, the key is what you do about.
- 9:46Speaker 2: It's not what happens, it's what you do about.
- 9:52Speaker 1: And he said, if you will start that process of change,
- 9:56Speaker 1: do something different the next ninety days than you did
- 9:58Speaker 1: the last ninety days, like picking up the books to read.
- 10:02Speaker 1: Do something different like the new health disciplines, relationship with
- 10:07Speaker 1: your family, whatever it is, doesn't matter how small it is.
- 10:09Speaker 1: If you'll start doing different things with the same circumstances.
- 10:15Speaker 1: Since we cannot change the circumstances, but we can change ourselves.
- 10:20Speaker 1: We can change what we do. What you have at
- 10:23Speaker 1: the moment you've attracted by the person you've become. What
- 10:27Speaker 1: you have at the moment you've attracted by the person
- 10:30Speaker 1: you've become. Few little simple principles here. Once you understand these,
- 10:36Speaker 1: it starts to explain so much.
- 10:39Speaker 2: Now.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Sometimes it's a little tough to take blaming yourself instead
- 10:42Speaker 1: of the marketplace, taking responsibility instead of putting it off
- 10:46Speaker 1: on someone else. That transition sometimes is a challenging.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Mission, and this one was a little tough for me.
- 10:54Speaker 1: You've attracted up until now, you've attracted the things to
- 10:59Speaker 1: you because of the person you've become.
- 11:03Speaker 2: Now, I said, well, how can I change all that?
- 11:06Speaker 1: If you will change, everything will change for you. You don't
- 11:11Speaker 1: have to change what's outside, or you've got to change
- 11:13Speaker 1: is what's inside. To have more, you simply have to
- 11:18Speaker 1: become more. Don't wish it was easier, I wish you
- 11:23Speaker 1: were better. Don't wish for less problems, wish for more skills.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Start working on yourself, making these personal changes, he said,
- 11:33Speaker 1: it'll all change for you.
- 11:35Speaker 2: I want to get better and better.
- 11:37Speaker 1: I want my craft to get better, my business operations
- 11:39Speaker 1: to get better. The things I do to get better.
- 11:42Speaker 1: Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on
- 11:45Speaker 1: your job. Once I got that, it turned my life around.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Learn to work harder.
- 11:51Speaker 2: On yourself than you do on your job. Work hard
- 11:56Speaker 2: on yourself and develop the skills yourself and develop the grease.
- 12:02Speaker 1: Money no problem, economics, no problem, future, no problem if
- 12:06Speaker 1: you just go to work on the right thing, not
- 12:08Speaker 1: get things out there to change. Don't try to change
- 12:11Speaker 1: the seed, don't change the soil, don't change the sunshine,
- 12:14Speaker 1: don't change the rain, don't.
- 12:16Speaker 2: Change the mix of seasons.
- 12:18Speaker 1: Let the miracle of everything that's available work for you,
- 12:21Speaker 1: and start working on the inside. Work on your philosophy,
- 12:23Speaker 1: work on your attitude, work on your personality, work on
- 12:26Speaker 1: your language, work on the gift of communication, work on
- 12:29Speaker 1: all of your abilities. And if you'll start making those
- 12:32Speaker 1: personal changes, I'm telling you everything will change for you.
