- 0:00Speaker 1: The easiest thing that I do every year is to
- 0:03Speaker 1: live my dream. The easiest thing I do every year
- 0:07Speaker 1: is what I do on a day to day basis.
- 0:09Speaker 1: Those are the easy things that I do. Let me
- 0:11Speaker 1: share with you the most difficult thing that I've ever
- 0:14Speaker 1: done in my life, and that was to believe that
- 0:18Speaker 1: I could do it. To believe that I less Brown,
- 0:22Speaker 1: who was born in an abandoned building on a floor in
- 0:24Speaker 1: a poor section of Miami, Florida. To believe that I
- 0:27Speaker 1: less Brown, who was labeled edugable, mental retarded, put back
- 0:30Speaker 1: from the fifth grade to the fourth grade. To believe
- 0:34Speaker 1: that I have the ability to live the life that
- 0:37Speaker 1: I'm now living. And I want you to think about
- 0:39Speaker 1: your goals and dreams, and I want you to expand them.
- 0:42Speaker 1: Why Because it has been said that most people fail
- 0:45Speaker 1: in life not because they aim too high and missed. No,
- 0:48Speaker 1: most people fail in life because they're just like I
- 0:50Speaker 1: was for fourteen years. They aim too low and hid.
- 0:55Speaker 2: There's probably a point in your life where you were
- 0:57Speaker 2: given a script of who you were supposed to be,
- 1:00Speaker 2: whether that your parents, or your friends, or your spouse.
- 1:03Speaker 2: And we live too often in our lives some other
- 1:05Speaker 2: person's script right someone else's script. And remember this, you're
- 1:08Speaker 2: the lead character in the story of your life, and
- 1:11Speaker 2: the person who controls that script is you and your God.
- 1:13Speaker 2: And at any point you can decide to step into
- 1:16Speaker 2: a new chapter, you can step into be a whole
- 1:17Speaker 2: new leading character.
- 1:19Speaker 3: We want people then to get very clear on that
- 1:22Speaker 3: vision of their future. However they do it and begin
- 1:25Speaker 3: to combine that clear intention with an elevated emotion. And
- 1:29Speaker 3: the stronger the emotion they feel from the vision they're creating,
- 1:33Speaker 3: the more altered they feel inside of them, the more
- 1:36Speaker 3: they're going to pay attention to the pictures in their mind.
- 1:38Speaker 3: And now they're remembering the future, and biologically it's.
- 1:42Speaker 4: Exactly the same as remembering your past.
- 1:44Speaker 3: In fact, if you're not being defined by a vision
- 1:46Speaker 3: in the future, it means you're making your past more
- 1:50Speaker 3: real than your future.
- 1:52Speaker 4: You're falling in love with your past.
- 1:53Speaker 3: You're more in love with your past than you want
- 1:55Speaker 3: with your future. That you're believing in your past more
- 1:58Speaker 3: than you're believing in your future. When you get to
- 1:59Speaker 3: that moment where you have that feeling, that's your compass,
- 2:06Speaker 3: because that feeling is going to drive your behaviors. It's
- 2:09Speaker 3: going to drive more of those thoughts. And when you
- 2:12Speaker 3: feel that feeling and it's visceral, no person, no thing,
- 2:17Speaker 3: no experience will stand in the way between you and
- 2:20Speaker 3: that vision, and you will be initiated by the universe
- 2:24Speaker 3: into wealth, you will be initiated into health.
- 2:30Speaker 5: Believe it's possible for you to have it, and if
- 2:33Speaker 5: there's someone out that has done it or got what
- 2:35Speaker 5: you want, want to think it possible for you, believe
- 2:38Speaker 5: that you can. And once you want something and believe
- 2:41Speaker 5: that you can get it, you've got to block out
- 2:43Speaker 5: all of the noise around you that's going to tell
- 2:45Speaker 5: you can't do it. Don't listen to all that. Just
- 2:48Speaker 5: believe that you can. The most important thing about believing
- 2:53Speaker 5: in yourself is that you must identify who you are.
- 2:58Speaker 4: Believe in yourself.
- 3:02Speaker 1: It's necessary as you look at your goals, your dreams.
- 3:05Speaker 1: It's necessarily that you have a strategy and a game
- 3:07Speaker 1: plan to change the story that you believe about yourself.
- 3:12Speaker 1: And that's an ongoing process. I discovered and many people
- 3:16Speaker 1: have that what we do, what we accomplish, what we
- 3:19Speaker 1: produce as a result of the story we believe about ourselves.
- 3:24Speaker 1: My favorite book says being and not conformed because this
- 3:26Speaker 1: word being transformed by the renewing of your mind.
- 3:33Speaker 6: Instead of focusing on what's wrong with you, start focusing
- 3:36Speaker 6: on what's right with you. You may have weaknesses, you've made mistakes,
- 3:41Speaker 6: we all have, but there's a lot more right with
- 3:44Speaker 6: you than there is wrong with you. Dwelling on the
- 3:48Speaker 6: negative doesn't help you to do better. Beating yourself up
- 3:51Speaker 6: for past mistakes doesn't move you forward. The better you
- 3:56Speaker 6: feel about yourself, the better you'll do. The more you
- 3:59Speaker 6: like your self, the further you'll go. You can't give
- 4:03Speaker 6: away what you don't have. If you're in turmoil on
- 4:07Speaker 6: the inside, mad at yourself, critical, condemned, that's what you
- 4:12Speaker 6: have to give. If you're hard on yourself, you'll be
- 4:15Speaker 6: hard on others. If you don't forgive yourself, you won't
- 4:19Speaker 6: forgive others. If you don't get along with you, how
- 4:23Speaker 6: can you get along with your family. The best thing
- 4:26Speaker 6: you can do is start being for you. When you
- 4:30Speaker 6: love yourself, then you can love others. When you're kind
- 4:33Speaker 6: to yourself, then you can be kind to others. It
- 4:36Speaker 6: starts with you, well, Joel, I have all these faults,
- 4:40Speaker 6: these weaknesses. Once I overcome, once I learn to control
- 4:43Speaker 6: my temper, be more disciplined, quit saying things that I shouldn't,
- 4:48Speaker 6: Then I won't be down on myself. If you're waiting
- 4:51Speaker 6: to perform perfectly before you feel good about who you are,
- 4:55Speaker 6: you'll be waiting your whole life. You have to accept
- 4:59Speaker 6: yourself well while you're in the process of changing.
- 5:02Speaker 7: It's this idea of taking your life in your own
- 5:06Speaker 7: hands and being the kind of person that you choose
- 5:10Speaker 7: to be, and understanding that everything that comes your way
- 5:15Speaker 7: is an opportunity.
- 5:17Speaker 8: The law of expectation says that your expectations tend to
- 5:21Speaker 8: become your own self fulfilling prophecies. In other words, what
- 5:24Speaker 8: you expect to happen usually does, And if your expectations
- 5:28Speaker 8: are based on false information, so you have false expectations,
- 5:33Speaker 8: that's what will happen anyway. For instance, your expectations could
- 5:36Speaker 8: be that you are destined to have an extraordinary life
- 5:41Speaker 8: and be extremely successful. Is that no matter what happens,
- 5:44Speaker 8: it's all part of a learning process that is leading
- 5:46Speaker 8: you inevitably to great success, happiness, and accomplishment. And if
- 5:51Speaker 8: you absolutely expect that to be true, if that's your
- 5:53Speaker 8: fundamental belief, then over time that will become true.
- 5:57Speaker 9: You'll be able to throw off the ups and downs
- 5:59Speaker 9: of life. You'll be able to ignore the negative influences
- 6:02Speaker 9: around you. If you confidently expect to be a great success,
- 6:05Speaker 9: then by gum, you sure will be.
- 6:07Speaker 10: No matter what people tell you.
- 6:09Speaker 9: You just say, well, it'll be all right.
- 6:11Speaker 10: Everything will work out fine. And we know that an
- 6:13Speaker 10: attitude of confident.
- 6:15Speaker 9: Expectation is a hallmark of highly successful people. They just
- 6:18Speaker 9: expect to succeed more than they fail. They expect to
- 6:21Speaker 9: be liked by others more often than they're dislike. They
- 6:23Speaker 9: expect to learn from every difficulty that they have. They
- 6:26Speaker 9: expect to keep making progress. They just expected, and surprise, surprise.
- 6:31Speaker 9: Your expectations affect your realities. What you experience on the outside.
- 6:36Speaker 10: Is determined by how you think on the inside. As
- 6:39Speaker 10: they say, you are not what you think you are,
- 6:42Speaker 10: but what you think you are. In the Bible, it says,
- 6:46Speaker 10: as a man thinketh in his heart.
- 6:47Speaker 9: Which means in his subconscious mind, way down deep, so
- 6:51Speaker 9: is he according to your faith, it's done undu.
- 6:54Speaker 8: And so on.
- 6:58Speaker 11: Personal growth is a multi fact concept that holds a
- 7:01Speaker 11: unique meaning for each individual. It can manifest as progress
- 7:05Speaker 11: in one's career, a commitment to leading a healthier lifestyle,
- 7:09Speaker 11: or an aspiration to build stronger and more meaningful relationships.
- 7:13Speaker 11: Regardless of the specific direction personal growth takes, it is
- 7:16Speaker 11: a journey that can be embarked upon and cultivated. At
- 7:20Speaker 11: its core, personal growth represents the ongoing process of self
- 7:24Speaker 11: improvement and development. It is about striving to become a
- 7:28Speaker 11: better version of oneself, both in terms of individual capabilities.
- 7:32Speaker 4: And overall well being.
- 7:34Speaker 11: Whether you envision personal growth as a ladder to climb
- 7:38Speaker 11: in your career, a path to a healthier lifestyle, or
- 7:42Speaker 11: a bridge to stronger relationships, the underlying principle remains the same,
- 7:48Speaker 11: the commitment to personal evolution. To embark on this journey,
- 7:52Speaker 11: it is essential to begin by discerning what personal growth
- 7:55Speaker 11: means to you. This self awareness forms the foundation upon
- 7:59Speaker 11: which your growth will be built.
- 8:01Speaker 4: Take the time to identify.
- 8:03Speaker 11: Your desires, aspirations, and objectives. Explore the potential obstacles that
- 8:08Speaker 11: may impede your progress, and devise strategies.
- 8:11Speaker 4: To overcome them.
- 8:12Speaker 11: By conducting this preliminary self assessment, you take a significant
- 8:17Speaker 11: stride towards realizing your goals for personal growth. One crucial
- 8:21Speaker 11: aspect of personal growth is recognizing that it is a
- 8:25Speaker 11: gradual and continuous process. It does not occur overnight or
- 8:31Speaker 11: without effort. Irrespective of the particular facet of your life
- 8:37Speaker 11: that you wish to enhance, Achieving the desired results demands dedication, persistence,
- 8:45Speaker 11: and a well defined skilled development plan. Begin your journey
- 8:50Speaker 11: by pinpointing the areas you want to improve your communication
- 8:54Speaker 11: skills that require honing. Do you aspire to cultivate more
- 8:59Speaker 11: profile and meaningful relationships, or perhaps your career appears to
- 9:05Speaker 11: be at a standstill and you yearn for professional advancement.
- 9:10Speaker 11: Identifying these key areas is the first step towards creating
- 9:15Speaker 11: a blueprint for your personal growth. However, it is not
- 9:19Speaker 11: uncommon for individuals to become ensnared in the process of
- 9:22Speaker 11: self improvement. They may find themselves entangled in self doubt,
- 9:26Speaker 11: plagued by thoughts like I'm not sure I'm capable of this,
- 9:30Speaker 11: or maybe I'll wait until next year to try it.
- 9:33Speaker 11: These self limiting beliefs can be detrimental to your progress.
- 9:39Speaker 11: To truly commit to personal growth, it is imperative to
- 9:43Speaker 11: embrace a mindset of positivity. Positive thinking is a potent
- 9:48Speaker 11: catalyst for personal growth. Each day should be approached with
- 9:53Speaker 11: a sense of gratitude and a determination to quash negative
- 9:57Speaker 11: thoughts as soon as they arise. Instead of dwelling on
- 10:01Speaker 11: doubts about your abilities, shift your perspective to one of
- 10:04Speaker 11: challenge and growth.
- 10:06Speaker 4: Acknowledge that while it may be.
- 10:07Speaker 11: Difficult, you are grateful for the opportunity to overcome these
- 10:11Speaker 11: challenges and emerge stronger. The power of positive thinking lies
- 10:16Speaker 11: in its ability to shape your beliefs and actions. When
- 10:20Speaker 11: you consistently believe in your capacity to change and grow,
- 10:23Speaker 11: your potential becomes limitless. You begin to perceive personal growth
- 10:27Speaker 11: as an attainable and ongoing journey, unbounded by the constraints
- 10:31Speaker 11: of self doubt or negativity. Personal growth is a deeply
- 10:36Speaker 11: personal and transformative journey. It encompasses a broad spectrum of goals,
- 10:42Speaker 11: from career advancement to healthier living and deeper relationship. Regardless
- 10:48Speaker 11: of the specific path you choose, self awareness and positivity
- 10:51Speaker 11: are essential allies in your pursuit of personal growth. By
- 10:55Speaker 11: identifying your objectives, cultivating a positive mindset, and commit to
- 11:01Speaker 11: continuous improvement, you can unlock your full potential and reach
- 11:05Speaker 11: new heights in your journey.
- 11:07Speaker 4: Towards self enhancement.
- 11:09Speaker 11: Embrace the belief that you are capable of change, and
- 11:13Speaker 11: the horizon of personal growth will expand before you, inviting
- 11:19Speaker 11: endless possibilities for self improvement and fulfillment.
- 11:23Speaker 12: Take action. When you start to walk, talk, dress, and
- 11:27Speaker 12: behave like the top people, you soon begin to feel
- 11:30Speaker 12: like the top people. You will treat other people like
- 11:33Speaker 12: the top people do. You will work the way the
- 11:36Speaker 12: top people work. You will start to get the results
- 11:39Speaker 12: that the top people get. In no time at all,
- 11:43Speaker 12: you will be one of the top people yourself. It
- 11:46Speaker 12: maybe tried to say fake it until you make it,
- 11:49Speaker 12: but there is a lot of truth to it. Your
- 11:52Speaker 12: main job in life is to create the mental equivalent
- 11:57Speaker 12: within yourself of what you want to realize in and
- 12:00Speaker 12: enjoy in your outer world. Your focus must be on
- 12:04Speaker 12: creating the beliefs within yourself that are consistent with the
- 12:08Speaker 12: great success you want to be in.
- 12:11Speaker 4: Your outer world.
- 12:12Speaker 12: You achieve this by challenging your self limiting beliefs, rejecting them,
- 12:18Speaker 12: and then acting as if they did not exist. You
- 12:20Speaker 12: reinforce the development of new life enhancing beliefs by increasing
- 12:25Speaker 12: your knowledge and skills in your field to the point
- 12:28Speaker 12: where you feel equal to any demand or challenge. You
- 12:32Speaker 12: accelerate the development of new positive beliefs by setting bigger
- 12:38Speaker 12: and more exciting goals.
- 12:40Speaker 4: In every area.
- 12:42Speaker 12: Finally, you act continually as if you were already the
- 12:46Speaker 12: person that you desire to be. Your aim is to
- 12:49Speaker 12: reprogram your subconscious mind for success by creating the mental
- 12:54Speaker 12: equivalent in everything you do or say. Make a decision
- 12:58Speaker 12: this very day to check, challenge, and reject any self
- 13:02Speaker 12: limiting beliefs you might have that could be holding you back.
- 13:06Speaker 12: Look into yourself and question the areas of your life
- 13:08Speaker 12: where you have doubts about your abilities or talents. You
- 13:11Speaker 12: might ask your friends and family members if they see
- 13:13Speaker 12: any negative beliefs that you might have. Often they will
- 13:18Speaker 12: be aware of negative self limiting beliefs you have that
- 13:23Speaker 12: you are not aware of yourself. In every case, Once
- 13:28Speaker 12: you have identified these negative beliefs, ask yourself, what if
- 13:32Speaker 12: the opposite were true. What if you had the ability
- 13:35Speaker 12: to be extraordinarily successful in an area where you currently
- 13:38Speaker 12: doubt yourself. What if you had been programmed from infancy
- 13:43Speaker 12: with genius ability in a particular area. What if you
- 13:47Speaker 12: had within you right now the ability to earn and
- 13:50Speaker 12: keep all the money you could ever want throughout your life.
- 13:53Speaker 12: What if you had a golden touch with regard to money,
- 13:58Speaker 12: If you absolutely believe these things to be true, what
- 14:01Speaker 12: would you do differently from what you are doing today.
- 14:05Speaker 12: Your beliefs are always manifested in your words and actions.
- 14:10Speaker 12: Make sure that everything you say and do from now
- 14:14Speaker 12: on is consistent with the beliefs that you want to
- 14:17Speaker 12: have and the person that you want to become. In time,
- 14:22Speaker 12: you will replace more and more of yourself limiting beliefs
- 14:26Speaker 12: with life enhancing beliefs. Over time, you will completely reprogram
- 14:31Speaker 12: yourself for success. When this occurs, the transformation that takes
- 14:35Speaker 12: place in your outer life will amaze you and all
- 14:38Speaker 12: the people around you.
