when you know you’re not doing all that
it takes it’s not very easy at all you
can just lay there awake thinking oh
what’s a few more minutes in bed it
won’t matter much anyway wrong
it does matter it will matter now how
easy is it to get up in the morning when
you’re pouring it on doing the best you
can
anxious to get going make progress
toward your dreams it’s a whole
different story when you’re resting to
renew your reserves it’s much different
than resting to avoid your day when
you’re sucked up and excited for your
life when you’re excited for what you’ve
planned to accomplish for the day it’s
amazing you’ll wake up before the alarm
clock even tries to start you away your
successes fuel your ambition your
successes give you extra energy your
successes pave the way for more
successes
it’s the snowball effect with one
success you’re excited to meet another
and another and another and pretty soon
the disciplines that were so difficult
in the beginning the disciplines that
got you going are now part of your
philosophy
how do you know when you’re successful
do you have to be a millionaire no all
we ask of you is that you earn all you
possibly can
if you earn 10,000 a year and that’s the
best you can do that’s enough God and
everything else will see to it that
you’re okay the key is to just do the
best you can if it’s ten thousand a year
wonderful if it’s a hundred thousand a
year wonderful if it’s a million a year
wonderful it doesn’t matter
ten thousand a year or a million a year
it doesn’t matter as long as you’ve done
the best you possibly can earn the most
you possibly can be the most you
possibly can and here’s why the essence
of life is growth the essence of life is
growth to do the best you can
and here’s what’s interesting humans are
the only life-form that will do less
than they possibly can humans are the
only life-form that will settle for less
every other life-form except human
beings strive to its maximum capacity
how tall will a tree grow approximately
as tall as it possibly can you never
heard of a tree growing half as high as
it could know trees don’t grow half
trees send their roots down as deep as
possible stretch their limbs up as high
as possible produce every leaf possible
and every fruit possible as a matter of
fact you never heard of a human
physically growing half we keep growing
until we’re done now that’s a part of
life we can’t control it’s genetically
coded
and that’s probably why we keep growing
till we’re done because we can’t control
that part it’s the rest of our growing
that we control the growing of our minds
the expansion of our minds that we can
control and that’s what tends to get
away from us all life-forms inherently
strive to their max except human beings
now why wouldn’t human beings strive to
their maximum possibility here’s why
because we’ve been given the dignity of
choice it makes us different than
alligators and trees and birds
the dignity of choice makes us different
than all other life-forms and here’s the
choice to become part of what we could
be enough to get by or to become all
that we can be my best advice for you is
to choose the all earn all you can make
all the friends you can read as many
books as you can develop as many skills
as you can see as much as possible do as
much as possible make as much fortune as
possible give as much of it away as
possible the max there’s no life like it
I’m telling you once I got on track I’ve
never looked back pick up the challenge
go for it
take the best of the too easy take the
root of that’s easy to get ahead it’s
easy to do all you can it’s easy to
succeed it’s easy to have financial
freedom the more you do the more you get
so the two primary benefits of positive
reinforcement are number one to build
good habits and number two to create
more energy to fuel your ambitions your
desires your achievements
how can you isolate what’s working for
you and what isn’t how can you make sure
that you are reinforcing your positive
disciplines well if it isn’t apparent
‘is it to see right away if what you’re
doing is happening in such small
increments that you’re not sure if
you’re on track then you need to be
writing it down you need to keep a
journal anyway but if you really aren’t
sure that what you’re doing is making
measurable progress you need to keep a
written record you need to write down
everything that may be relevant in your
day what you did who you saw what you
felt how it may or may not affect you
now and in the future the best way to
track your activities of the day is to
write them down the best way to track
your activities of the week is to write
them down
the best way to analyze your progress
through the year is to have written it
down why so you can look back on it
because by keeping a written record of
your life you will be more accountable
by putting into writing the action steps
that you have planned you will easily
see what works and what doesn’t
most people just try to get through the
day never writing anything down never
keeping track of their progress along
the way never really knowing if they are
doing all they can to reach their goals
to drive their ambition but gifted
people learn to get from the day they
don’t let a day end without picking up
some valuable experience some emotional
content some idea that may positively
affect their future to get the most from
a day to learn the most from a day you
need to be able to reflect on the day
and how can you reflect on a day unless
you record it in history
[Music]
the dream you have in your heart was put
there for a reason it was sewn into you
as part of your life’s journey it’s not
a joke it’s not some vision that you
might have it was put there because it’s
possible this thing called life some
people call a marathon I say it’s a
process and I say one of the best ways
to go through life is is to have a
spirit of optimism and to be open to the
possibilities and when you approach life
in that spirit to give you power
creativity and gratitude to make mature
anything you want good you can have so
claim it
work hard to get it when you get it
reach back pull someone else up each one
teach one you can do what you can change
your life right now you don’t have to go
into work tomorrow you can just drive
off move somewhere you don’t have to
hang out the people you hate you can do
what you want you’re free the
limitations are in your pocket but like
I always say life is 10% what happens to
you is 90% what you do about it and it’s
not how much you have is what you do
with what you have we all have different
talents some of you will be doctors some
lawyers some scientists some education
some nurses the most selfish thing you
has helped someone else why is it
selfish because the gratification
goodness that comes the usually good
feeling the good feeling that I get from
helping others nothing’s better than
nothing’s better than that not not
jewelry not big house I have up two cars
but is the joy that’s where the joy is
in helping others that’s where the
success is in helping others one of the
things that we have to always keep in
mind that we have the power to determine
what we’re going to let into our
experience and many people allow
themselves to buy into the negativity of
the world today if you don’t program
your mind you will be programmed so
you’ve got to make a conscious
deliberate determined effort to set us
that time every day or at least an hour
that’s what I do I listened to something
motivational the first thing in the
morning and the reason I do that
whatever you listen to the first 30
minutes when you wake up it will control
the spirit of your day I review my goals
I do my meditations my chanting all of
the things that will get me grounded and
rooted and prepare for the day and I
have a quote that I always say to myself
Lord whatever I faced today together you
are not good handling
I pray that
you put your slippers way under the bed
tonight so that when you wake up in the
morning you have to get on your knees to
when while you’re down there say thank
you for grace
thank you for mercy thank you for
understanding
thank you for wisdom thank you for
parents
thank you for love thank you for
kindness thank you for humility
thank you for peace thank you for
Prosperity say thank you in advance for
what’s already yours get up every day
and say today I will be in the right
place I will talk to the right people I
will make the right thing happen in my
life I’m here to tell you if you’re big
enough for your dreams your dreams are
big enough for you that means you have
superhuman power to completely change
your life at any moment you decide once
and for all forget about your past none
of that means anything the only thing
that counts what could do going forward
the only thing that counts is how you
live the rest of your life we have the
ability to live every hope and dream
that this life has ever helped you to
focus you have the ability to do that
don’t just aspire to
make a living aspire to make a
difference reinvent yourself every day
look at ways to get better improve chase
that dream it’s in your heart it’s in
your soul for a reason it was wired
there give you strength to give you
purpose to give you direction that’s why
you’re here you are creative genius your
Creator your creator of your experience
[Music]
what would be your perfect day I mean
your ideal day that a day that you went
to bed that night and you just thought
that was the most incredible day that’s
how I want most of my days in my life to
be just like that what would that
what would you be like under ideal there
would you be weak and fearful or would
you be courageous and strong would you
be judgmental and mean and upset and
fill of hatred and and jealousy and
anger and regret about life and other
people or would you be somebody who’s
open and excited for other people and
connect with other people and positive
and enthusiastic you can design your
days you can make your life about what
you want it to be about so what do you
want it to be about there’s need to be
quiet moments in your bedroom quiet
moments when you’re brushing your teeth
that we need to reaffirm I am the
captain of my ship and the master of my
fate if I don’t say it if I don’t
believe it no one else will
what are some of your morning’s like do
you go to bed but then when the alarm
goes off you hit the snooze then you hit
the snooze again then you hit the snooze
again
and then you’ve laid in bed too long and
so then you get up of course now you
have no time for anything there’s
something really interesting about time
we all get the same amount in a day
every day is 24 hours and some people
are very very fruitful and effective and
some people just waste their time day
after day after day that’s a choice that
we make but there’s one thing about time
once it goes by you never get it back
[Music]
so how it is to waste any day
of your life don’t ever waste today
don’t wait until the end of your life to
have that ideal day don’t wait until
next year or next week to have that type
of day we can choose to wake up every
single day and live that day in an
idealistic way for ourselves in a way in
which we show up as who we want to be in
a way in which we are doing things that
enliven us and engage us in it and get
us excited in a way that you’re doing
things and being with people and
creating experiences that feel alive and
fulfilling we all know what the thing is
that we’re supposed to be doing if
there’s anything that’s presenting us
with a pretext not to do it
Bank on it that’s resistance why not
find some time every day to practice
becoming fearless why not use whatever
irritates you or frustrates you or
frightens you during your day and
bravery training which starts to happen
to you and you’re getting there earlier
working harder and doing things other
people aren’t willing to do you trick
yourself you convince yourself I’m
willing to do things other people aren’t
willing to do so I deserve a life other
what you do everyday is far more
important than once you what you do once
every decade what you do over the next
hour is is really building your future
and if you can just get and I can just
get every single pocket of 24 hours
right as best as we humanly can the rest
of our life is going to take care of
itself so small wins matter
[Music]
when you start your day you must own
your morning but you know exactly right
now what you’re not doing it would be
criminal of you to leave here say I
don’t know what to do you know exactly
what you’re afraid of you know exactly
what you’ve been avoiding and you got to
make a decision to change it you know
exactly what it is don’t be a seni buddy
you know what you need to do different
you know the changes you need to make
and if you can do that and stop kidding
yourself you can win you can overcome
your fear overcome procrastination what
makes you comfortable can ruin you what
makes you uncomfortable is the only way
to grow let me say that again will make
you comfortable can ruin you and only in
a state of discomfort can you
continually grow a crow will not accept
the excuses a pro will not let fear stop
him or her a pro sits down and does it
you’re gonna see supernatural doors
begin to open you’re gonna see promotion
you’re gonna see vindication you’re
gonna discover talent that you didn’t
know you hang you’re gonna accomplish goals that you thought were impossible
