Les Brown - Your Mind is the Key to Your Success (Les Brown Motivation)

LES BROWN► I want to share with you how to reach your goals I think the Bible greatest motivation book ever been written now I want you to repeat after me please we got to recondition our minds first let us say together good things that's supposed to happen to me yeah write that down I want you to say that to yourself every day see we live in a world where we believe that bad things are supposed to happen to us I remember a part of my life issued when things are going good for me and I said this is too good to be true something is bound to happen guess what it did thou shalt decree a thing that shall be established under you and shall accomplish that when - it has been sent what's your word what what you say about yourself about your fears be conscious of that on a daily basis why because your words are powerful in the beginning was the work life and death is in the tongue watch what you say never say I'm broke I'm overcoming a cash flow problem claim what you want not what you don't want so firm good things for suppose to happen to meet and begin to believe that began to expect that now I was talking to my oldest son Calvin we're going for walk and I said Calvin do you want to be successful he said yes i dad okay kept on walking then I stopped and I looked him in the eyes it's my namesake my Junior I said Calvin we're looking at each other I died on do you expect to be successful given the fact that you are a single parent of two kids given the fact that you decided not to go to college to further your education given the fact that you're very talented but you're behind on your dream and your bills do you expect based upon your performance based upon what you produce at this point in time in your life do you expect to be successful and Calvin got quiet you can see if you ask most people that the manpower conference do you want to be successful do you want to live a life of productivity do you want to live a life of contribution do you want to be a better father do you want to have your own business other dreams you want everybody will say yes but the one shows up in conversation expectation shows up in behavior say I can tell what you expect by what you do that's why the Bible says judge it's a tree by the fruited bear not to prove that it was not to prove that it talks about not the fruit that it claims but by one thing you are doing see what you do when you leave here when the music stops when the shouting dies down your behavior how you conduct yourself writing your goals down deciding to enroll in school to get a GED deciding to sit in the class with children young enough to be your grandchildren decide to find some part of some idea of some service that you can provide so that you can begin to create some value for yourself so you can create well let me tell you something ladies and gentlemen it's very important that we begin to learn how to create well I'm not talking about loving money don't believe that a lack of money is the root of all evil people are steal for money people have killed for money people go to jail for money every time the unemployment goes up in those areas where the unemployment is higher that's where you have the highest incidence of crime and violence whenever the unemployment goes up 1% in our community 10,000 children and women are better won money makes a difference in your life I never wanted to be rich all I've ever wanted to do was to be comfortable how many of ever want to become will raise your hand then I realize not to be comparable you've got to be rich no friend of mine Zig Ziglar said people say money won't make you happy but everybody want to find out for themselves Rita Davenport said money and important but is right up there with oxygen and let me tell you some fellows even if you're homeless I am if you've got some money women will find something cute on you he got yellow like Dimmesdale honey money makes a difference I used to be so broke when creditors would call the house my children would answer the phone and say bye daddy say yeah I was gonna broke it once on my life I want my bacon trip the alarm I'd say you poverty sucks you hear me repeat after me please I'll never be broke again yes write that down I affirm that I'll never be broke again never never will I ever be broke again let me tell you what money does number one it gives you control over your life write that down number two it gives you options three it allows you to live a life of contribution to contribute to things that you feel strongly about like this ministry and the work of project 2000 we'll be doing to change the lives of young people Bishop Jake's vision is that we can have little league football teams and baseball teams and basketball teams then we can have Lou League dermatologists and cardiologists and endocrinologist so he is now establishing an institution project mm to give our young people the methods the techniques to reinvent themselves as we go into the next millennium and this era that Peter Drucker calls the era of a three C's accelerated change overwhelming complexity and tremendous competition so here's the first step to accumulating wealth if you expect to do it write this down you must be willing to do the things today others won't do in order to have the things tomorrow others won't have that's why the book of life says the road to life is straight and narrow and few there be that find it because fuel there will be that are willing to do the things today others won't do in order to have the things tomorrow others won't have what are the things that others won't do number one make discipline a major force in your life how many of you know if you'd have been more disciplined you'd be further alone to reach your goals right now Socrates said the undisciplined life is an insane life Road life is straight and narrow because few there be that are willing to discipline themselves here's something else that most people won't do make it okay to fail a lot of people 85% of people allow their fear of failure to outweigh their desire to succeed repeat after me please anything that's worth doing is worth doing badly yes anything is worth doing is worth doing right as we have been taught if you know how to do it but if you don't know how to do it is worth doing badly until you get it right now write this down you don't have to be great to get started but you have to get started to be great the first time I stood up to speak I stood up and my mind set down I looked at the audience and I've had it I had to introduce a play at school we approved we brought the school ran up mr. Washington mr. Brown where you going on mr. wash and I I can't think what I don't know did you rehearse yes I did well what's wrong why did you say your Liza I don't know so I just got up and I looked at them and everything let me let me do it another day please oh no go back out there mr. da mr. Washington how much the police searched so don't don't don't send me I did not mess up this around if you run now you will always be running anything that's worth doing is worth doing badly until you get it right why are you moving I guess I got to go to bathroom sir mr. brown go back out there yes sir Wilbur espanha please call 12 Angry Men directed by you still you are in Washington now ran off the next day hey alfalfa Bravo are you they dogged me out they talked about me so bad the next time another event came up mr. Washington mr. Brown you're up I said no mr. Washington everybody says no not him I said there right mr. Washington not me he said mr. Brown you uh yes sir and I went out and pretty soon the people laughed at me didn't bother me they would throw paper and I can catch it without losing my concentration and then one day I came out and a hush went across the audience because it must have been something about me that indicated that I had come to myself and mr. Washington been practicing with me to give a presentation and I looked at the audience and I said I choose not to be a common man it's my right to be uncommon if I can I seek opportunity not security I do not wish to be a kept citizen humbled and dull by having the state look after me I want to take your calculated risk to dream in two bills of failing to succeed I refuse to live from hand to mouth I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence the Parilla fulfillment to the silk arm of utopia I will never cower before any master nor been to any threat it's my heritage to stand erect traveling afraid the face of rebellion say this I have done girl stood up say that's my boy free hearty unlike me from there our baby but I didn't start off like that you have something special you have talents abilities in you that you don't even know so how do we begin to create wealth let me give you some some ideas number one right if found knowledge what knowledge that you have in this economy part of what we need that people willing to pay you for that next is talent what talent jion's talents playing football I don't have that as a tower my talent is talking to me that my definition of success is doing what you love to do and find somebody to pay you to do it you want to master your talent find out what it is that you love to do I love the tall scriptures another key that says to us and what we need to do to begin to develop ourselves Luke 1234 where your treasure is there will your heart be also so what do you love to do and then explore ways in which you can earn a living doing that cooking writing painting working with numbers working with people the other thing is not only must you have knowledge talents some skill but the other thing that's important face to act on whatever your dream is see if you don't believe in yourself how many people you know that have a lot of channel a lot of abilities but they don't believe in themselves raise your hands cf faith is very important so the faith to act on those dreams those desires here in scripture that I that I like very much proverbs 16 16 chapter third verse commit thy works unto the Lord and I thought shall be established commit means to carry into action deliberately commit means to make it happen no matter what commitment the difference between next time you have bigger than age the chicken was involved the pig was committed he had to give it all up that's going to take a minute to sink in alright so when you make a commitment I'm going to become wealthy when you make it important when you decide I'm going to do it no matter what life changes for you see most people don't keep their commitments to their commitment that's why they lead lives of poverty lives of misery lives of unhappiness Socrates said the uncommitted life isn't worth living so part of what you must do whatever commitment whatever covenant you make with God while you're here to go back to be a better partner to go back to make a difference in the community to go back to change your life to decide not to ever to use drugs or alcohol again to decide to visit you're going to begin to recreate yourself that you're going to be reborn to a new state of consciousness whatever commitment that you make keep your commitment to your commitment no matter what if it's hard then do it hard particular commitment to your commitment
