there most certainly at times when we
feel like that when you say I don’t have
any idea whatsoever of what I’m going to
do to pull this out
been in situations like that where I had
deadlines I had to meet I didn’t meet
those deadlines and I lost a car lost a
home lights were cut off telephone was
cut off all of those things are going to
happen to your different points in life
now the question is what what does it
really mean it really doesn’t mean
anything it’s not important at all it’s
just a temporary inconvenience because
all of those things can be corrected and
it’s a part of the process that we all
go through now the challenge is in the
midst of all of these things is one to
stay focused on your goal and two to
keep your expectations of making it
happen and keeping your energy positive
and relentlessly looking for ways in
order to pull it out and I guarantee you
that there will be some intervention
what causes it I don’t know that will
seem like it’s supernatural give you and
I give you an example I remember once
when I lost my job when I was fired out
of broadcasting September 18th I’ll
never forget 1978 I was be fuck behind
in my house notes and my house was up
for foreclosure I did everything I could
I had borrowed as much money as I could
borrow I had talked to family members
and friends I did everything I could and
I couldn’t get enough money being
unemployed for several months applying
for job after job after job and couldn’t
get a job I couldn’t get enough money to
save the house but I never felt and this
is very important the feeling that I had
never felt that I was going to lose that
house I wanted that house and so what I
did was very uncanny I released it I did
the best that I could
and at that time with the limited money
that I did have I decided to take a trip
with my family to Miami to go down and
spend time in the Sun with my children
we caught a Greyhound bus from Columbus
Ohio and we went to Florida by the time
I arrived on the day that the Bakke was
to foreclose at 12:00 noon on the house
I got a call from one of my formal
assistants who went by the house and
called me and said les it’s an emergency
called Columbus right away I did and
Carolyn Sloane said lest you won’t
believe this you have a check from the
Internal Revenue Service on your income
tax and it was enough to pay the house
notes and I had money over I never
received a refund prior to that time or
since that time and I did not leave lose
the house so there are things that we
don’t know or understand but we do know
that if we do certain things that things
begin to happen that’s in our favor that
shows that the universe is on our side
everything that we’re seeking I believe
that if we begin to align our thoughts
with action and be relentless
don’t try two or three things or 15 or
20 things but our hundred things 500
things if necessary
10,000 things as Edison did if necessary
until we find a way out
many of us we eliminate many
possibilities for ourselves because we
really don’t do all we can do I think
Hale Williams was right when he said all
we can do is all we can do and all we
can do is enough and I think honestly
speaking even judging from myself I
think that my commitment is stronger
than most people but if I had to
literally measure my my commitment in
terms of what I put forth in my dream I
would say that I might have given about
18 to 20 percent of what I’m really
capable of as high in consciousness as I
believe that I am comparatively speaking
where I used to be I’m still nowhere
near reaching 50 percent of the
commitment that I can make to accelerate
the growth and the development of my
dream and the manifestation of the
things that I know within myself that
I’m capable of producing so our biggest
challenge is beginning to look at within
ourselves to remove those energy blocks
because if we are not producing the
income that we want let us not look
outside of ourselves but look within
ourselves to find out how am i blocking
me by really giving it all that I am I
have am I really being as creative as I
can be am I really
unstoppable am i as relentless as I can
be
am i exhausting every means possible am
i turning up every rock to find what it
is that I’m looking for that what
resides between our ears but we’re
thinking about how do I come up with
$500 twelve hundred dollars or two
thousand dollars it’s the same gray
matter that resides between the ears of
a Ross Perot or Donald Trump when his
Baker’s say you’ve got 30 how is it that
one man or woman can do it and do a
million times more than these other
people and the other ones don’t it has
to be consciousness
it has to be and when we talk about
consciousness we’re talking about a
collection of our thoughts our feelings
and our emotions and experiences used as
an active force to produce in our lives
that which we want to produce because
everything that exists in life the
microphones that we’re speaking in the
shoes that we have on our feet the
chairs that were sitting in the clothes
that were wearing the homes that we live
in the cars that we drive all of that
came out of our consciousness that all
came out of the invisible into the
visible and man was a vehicle the the
outlet to produce that wherever we have
stopped in our dream we stopped to the
place
call willingness anybody that has fallen
short of their goals they ran into
something that they were not willing to
handle because in order to reach your
dream in order to make things happen
there must be a willingness to do what
is required if the need is to raise two
thousand dollars and let’s say you have
a set of tapes for $40 are you willing
to make 200 calls a day are you willing
to stand on a corner and talk to people
and say listen I’ve got a set of tapes
here that can change your life are you
willing to make the commitment that you
will not go to sleep until you sell at
least 10 tapes a day are you willing to
say if it takes me 12 hours walking and
talking to people all day long until I
find 10 people that will say yes if I
have to talk to 200 people all 300
people that in order to provide food for
my family to provide shelter to not to
have creditors hounding me am I willing
to talk to 300 people a day am I willing
to stand in an airport and sell tapes am
I willing to go out and make calls again
and again and again am I willing to
knock on doors am I willing to do that
see if we have some skill some ability
some knowledge or some product then the
only thing that’s between us and what we
want to generate is our willingness to
expend the energy to produce the results
that we want am I willing to wash cars
am I willing to scrub floors am i
willing to wash dishes am I willing to
go out and speak or do seminars or
workshops what am I willing to do with
my energy my time and my knowledge to
produce the results that’s the bottom
line what are you willing to do and what
most people don’t realize is they don’t
give up
their goals because it becomes
insurmountable or it’s impossible is
they just looked at what they wanted and
they just decided within themselves
consciously or unconsciously I’m not
willing to reproduce this result are you
willing to say that I need two thousand
dollars between now and next week in
come hell or high water I will produce
that that’s the bottom line because the
only thing that counts in life are
results not reasons or why you didn’t do
it but results that’s the only thing
that comes and we are capable of
producing results that’s it that’s the
bottom line are you willing to honor
your commitment to do that what are you
willing to do how many floors are you
willing to mop how many shoes are you
willing to shine how many phone calls
are you willing to make how many sales
are you willing to make how many jobs
are you willing to hold how much service
are you willing to provide that most
people don’t keep their commitments they
are not willing to be no matter what
person that I’m gonna make this happen
no matter what most people use escape
routes for themselves most people have
some things that they could point to to
justify why they haven’t produced the
results some reason well people weren’t
buying all the economy is soft somebody
somewhere is buying somebody somewhere
spending some money says we begin to
look at where we are every time when I
was working on developing my dream and I
knew that I had to do something that I
had to do it I was always able to pull
it out because I started thinking if a
Walt Disney couldn’t do it if a john d
rockefeller can do it then I can do it
am I to believe that they have some
license of exclusivity on producing
wealth of producing results that I
I think that it was a key given to us I
was reading the book called succeeding
against the odds by John H Johnson good
book he said for it is the most enduring
element of our faith that I must
conclude this speech by saying that men
and women are limited not by the place
of their birth not by the color of their
skin but by the size of their hope what
is the size of your hope as we begin to
look at what it is we want to produce in
our lives
I think another question could be asked
or to paraphrase what he said what is
the size of our commitment to make it
happen
see when you ask people to become a no
matter what person something inside of
them begins to tremble because of the
fact that we aren’t accustomed to saying
I’m gonna make this happen most people
won’t do that more take that kind of
stand and saying I’m gonna make this
happen no matter what most people won’t
do that that takes energy that takes
conviction that takes a determination
and a mindset I’m gonna do this and I
say that once you make the commitment
and that’s what Goethe meant and that
whole piece he says about commitment he
says once you make a commitment
Providence moves to all kinds of things
happen that never would have happened
all a whole stream of things happen that
you could never anticipate it I know
that and I think that that Longfellow
was right who said if you go to the gate
and you knock loud enough and long enough somebody’s gonna answer
feel like that when you say I don’t have
any idea whatsoever of what I’m going to
do to pull this out
been in situations like that where I had
deadlines I had to meet I didn’t meet
those deadlines and I lost a car lost a
