life doesn't happen to you it happens
for you you can spend your whole life
imagining ghosts worrying about the
pathway to the future but all there will
ever be is what's happening here and the
decisions we make in this moment which
are based in either love or fear so many
of us choose our path out of fear
disguised as practicality what we really
want seems impossibly out of reach and
ridiculous to expect so we never dare to
ask the universe for it I'm saying I'm
the proof that you can ask the universe
for it
my father could have been a great
comedian but he didn't believe that that
was possible for him and so he made a
conservative choice instead he got a
safe job as an accountant and when I was
12 years old he was let go from that
safe job and our family had to do
whatever we could to survive I learned
many great lessons from my father not
the least of which was that you can fail
at what you don't want so you might as
well take a chance on doing what you
greatness is not this wonderful esoteric
illusive godlike feature that only the
special among us will ever taste you
know it's something that truly exists in
all of us
we didn't grow up with the sense that
where we were was where we were going to
be you know we grew up with the sense
that where we were almost didn't matter
because we were becoming something
greater
[Music]
as far as I can tell it's just about
letting the universe know what you want
and working toward it from a letting go
of how it comes to pass I don't believe
in hope hope is a beggar hope walks
through the fire and faith leaps over it
you are ready and able to do beautiful
things in this world and after you walk
through those doors today you will only
ever have two choices love or fear
choose love and don't ever let fear turn
you against your playful heart thank you
so much
[Music]
you
must begin to look at what are the
things that we can do that would put us
on some firm footing in life that will
enable us to do some things and and use
some powers that we have that many of us
go through life never ever discovering
that we have those things going for us
and part of that I believe is knowing
what it is your life work what is it
that gives your life a sense of meaning
and purpose because once you find that
it puts you in your power place see if
you know what your life work is I
encourage you to start working on it if
you can't do it all at one time do just
a little bit of it and if you don't know
what it is that you showed up to do if
you don't know why you're here I
encourage you to find out what your
purpose is here what is the meaning of
your life what will be different have
you ever asked yourself that question
I've done that I remember coming from a
friends of my funeral and I was
reflecting on how much time I had left
and I went for a walk in a park thinking
about this guy whose life was so
promising and I mean he wasn't an old
guy who was quite young in fact and I
thought about all of the things that he
said he was going to do and he never got
a chance to do those things and I start
thinking about my own life and how much
time I had left to do the things that I
would like to do and at that time I
wasn't sure what my life purpose was
what my life's work was I wasn't sure
about it at that time and I thought
about it quite a lot
I had some idea but I wasn't convinced
that I don't think I felt worthy I
didn't believe that it could be me to do
this kind of work that I'm doing right
now and I say to you that if you begin
to take a conscious effort to find out
what it is that you supposed to do I say
that it can literally save your life I
said that it can literally save your
life
85% of the American public
according to recent studies are going to
jobs that they hate working on jobs that
do not challenge them they get sick
thinking about going because see when
you go to a job and you already know how
far you can go you can already see that
proverbial glass ceiling see when you're
going someplace and you already know how
much you're going to make you already
know how far you can go you're in a
dead-end position it erodes your
self-esteem it lowers your sense of
yourself
it creates an inner turmoil
it creates an emptiness in you so I say
that your life is worth finding what it
is that you're supposed to do and I'm
not saying quit your job I'm saying find
it and do just a little bit of just not
working at it just a little bit but do
find out what your work is and hold on
to it and don't let your dream go don't
let it go see and here's something else
I want you to begin to look at why is it
that most people don't pursue their
dreams so don't do better than what
they're doing if they're capable of
doing it I think that many of us don't
go the next step because we don't know
what to do yet and I say that that the
reason that we don't even explore the
possibility of what to do is because
subconsciously we don't believe that it
can happen for us and we don't believe
that we deserve it
so here's what I'm suggesting how much
time do you spend working on you how
much time do you spend every day working
on your dream and the last 90 days how
many books have you read in the last
year what new skill or knowledge have
you acquired what kind of investment
have you made in you so I'm saying that
as you begin to look at where you want
to go if you want to make it today and
things are changing so fast you have to
literally run to standstill
I'm saying that you've got to make some
conscious effort to begin to work to
develop you here's something else most
people are not living their dreams
because of fear ladies and gentlemen
fear limited vision and lack of self
esteem is what keep most people doing
things they don't want to do the same
reason that people stay in relationships
where they're abused are they're unhappy
or it's unfulfilled they can't see
themselves beyond that relationship they
can't see themselves enjoying life
without that person they think that this
is all that they can do the same reason
that people get stuck at a certain level
in life they can't see things being
better for them and they think that this
is it and this is all they deserve this
is all they've ever seen
has been passed on to them and they
think that this is it for them oh no
looking what dr. Blanton Smalley Blanton
who is a colleague of dr. Norman Vincent
Peale what he said about theories that
fear is the most subtle and destructive
of all human diseases
ladies and gentlemen fear kills dreams
fear kills hope fear put people in the
hospital fear can age you fear ladies
and gentlemen can hold you back from
doing something that you know within
yourself that you're capable of doing
but it will paralyze you and it seem
like you're in a hypnotic spell
and I asked you a question what is the
benefit what's the benefit of allowing
fear to hold you back what's the benefit
of giving up on yourself of not stepping
out on life and taking life on what is
the benefit for you what's the plus in
that it's one of the things I had to ask
myself so I didn't want to make any
mistakes I wanted everybody to like me I
wanted to be perfect the first time I
did something it's not going to happen
you're going to make some mistakes
you're going to hurt some folks feelings
you're going to create some enemies
whenever you decide that you want to
begin to take life on you've got to ask
yourself how long am I going to allow
this to hold me back I like what Zig
Ziglar says he said fear is false
evidence appearing real that it's an
illusion that we create in our mind it
is a state of mind that can be changed
so let's look at how we can begin to
take some steps to restructure that fear
to begin to expand our visions of
ourselves to begin to increase our
self-esteem Webster said that
self-esteem means confidence and
satisfaction in oneself look at your
life right now whatever you've done up
to this point in time your life is
working whatever you have produced it
came out of you as a result of the kind
of person that you have become as a
result of your choices it's a result of
your consciousness now you have to ask
yourself are you satisfied with what you
hit produce is this what you want would
you like the things to be better than
this do you believe that you deserve
better than this are you content this is
it you don't have to do everything
anything else but you are ready to
resign yourself in life so well I'm
happy I'm not starving like the people
in Calcutta
are you allowing yourself to get off the
hook like that or do you believe
somewhere in the back of your mind or in
your heart but there's some other great
work for you to do there's something
else that light has for you and that's
why you're here how do we handle this
fear factor how do we increase our
self-esteem you have to begin to fortify
yourself how do we do that I believe
that you have to begin to consciously
monitor your inner conversation and
start talking to yourself start building
yourself up sometimes the only good
things you will hear about you are the
things that you say to you so I'm saying
learn to be your own booster stop
building yourself up start encouraging
yourself start saying I can do this
I can make this happen when I started
thinking about becoming the speaker I
said yes I can do this I can make this
happen when I start trying to convince
myself I can be a businessman after
flopping and failing and losing
thousands of dollars and feeling stupid
and dumb and having people take
advantage of me because of what I didn't
know I had to talk to myself because
people saying to me that I was done and
somewhere in the back of my mind I was
saying you're right look at what I've
done I had to say no no no no no no no
less hey hey come on man get yourself
together you can handle this you just
haven't figured it out yet it's all
right this is your training period this
is the tuition you have to pay for what
you don't know you can do this other
people have done it doesn't take an
Einstein get you some people that can
teach you some stuff that you don't know
get you some people that have done it
successfully and learn from them take
some seminars workshops leave some books
on how to manage a business change the
way you see yourself and begin to tend
to the personal details understand that
nobody's going to take care of your
business better than you and when I
start changing that kind of mindset of
beating myself up because of my mistakes
and start looking at the possibility of
my doing better of my making the
adjustment that would enable me to do
what I want to do successfully things
begin to change
now they stop beating up on yourself you
do do it I
you do it I've done it it's a natural
inclination for us to put ourselves down
see we are born negative I think in a
negative consciousness because we live
in a negative world here's some other
things ladies and gentlemen begin to
guard your mind against negative
programming like turn off the television
don't watch the news so you've got to
guard the kinds of things that you put
in your mind see if you don't program
your mind your mind will be programmed
because human beings are goal-oriented
that's why we die of broken hearts early
that's why we're running through life
too early graves we're going through
life ladies and gentlemen and I think
that Henry David Thoreau stated that
most men live in quiet desperation most
of us go through life running scared so
we created this in our minds false
evidence appearing real
we made it real in our minds that's why
Churchill said there's nothing to fear
but fear itself
that's the destructive monster so turn
off things that can contribute to your
fear turn a deaf ear to people that all
they can do is talk about how negative
things are because they have bought into
the consciousness of the world start
attending workshops seminars listening
to tapes on a daily basis to begin to
recondition your mind to retrain your
thinking faith comes by what hearing and
hearing and hearing listen to things
that can empower you that can enable you
to create a new reality for yourself in
a new life for yourself you might appear
to be strange around most people you
know most people think you're strange if
you're happy today say these people have
not found their purpose in life that's
why they are grumpy but that's why
they're miserable that's why they're so
negative they're hurting and they want
to hurt other people so start practicing
using programs for your mind seminars
books workshops keep a journal record
your thoughts what's happening with you
every day when you get up have a journal
near you see ladies and gentlemen we get
three to four thoughts a year that if we
would act on those thoughts they could
change our lives
what idea are you sitting on right your
ideas darling
and then once you get that idea take the
lead take the lead since I'll be of the
universe if you don't take the plunge I
guarantee you somebody else will take
the plunge go into action and ladies and
gentlemen you will be surprised how
things will come together you'll be
surprised now you're going to have some
difficult challenges I can tell you that
now be aware of that things are not
going to work out exactly right for time
they will sometimes and that's when life
is just playing the game with you want
you to feel good and relax but ladies
and gentlemen go into action with your
dream and don't avoid where the fights
are get in the midst of the fight get
knocked down so you can learn how to
fight so you can hold your position see
most people don't get out in the arena
of life because they don't want to fight
most people don't get out there because
they don't want to get knocked down they
don't want to be dropped to their knees
but see you're going to be dropped
whether you are on the field or whether
or not you're sitting on the sidelines
you're going to be dropped so at least
get dropped with something see that's
not most people of spectators in life
you don't want to be a spectator you
want to get out in the field where the
action is and you will be amazed after
the struggle there will be a calm period
and things will begin to click for you
you
