today I want to talk to you about your
goals and your dreams what do you think
about something that’s important to you
maybe it’s a personal goal I know in my
own personal experience my goal was to
be able to buy my mother a home I’m
adopted and so I wanted to be able to do
something special for my adopted mother
she was a domestic worker for wealthy
families on Miami Beach it she cooked
for these families and wait the food
leftover from the families that she
cooked for and she kept the children and
we won a hand-me-down closer the
children that she kept it you could
imagine as a kid I used to save my mom
on the way home on the bus from Miami
Beach back to Liberty City and over town
I said when I become a man I’m gonna be
able to buy clothes for us and buy
groceries for us but not only that
imma buy you a big beautiful home just
like the homes that you clean every day
and she said Leslie you don’t have to do
that I said I know what I’m going to and
and you know what the reason that I I
said that I believed that it was
possible see the family that that mama
worked for that mr. sidarsky used to
listen to motivational messages every
day I was very fortunate to have to take
care of the needs that mr. sidarsky had
to shine his shoes and dust his office
and he was very rude to me he said
Leslie especially had guests did you
clean this yes I did sir look at it how
can you say that I do apologize sir and
this guest which they don’t talk to him
like that
that’s not nice but the truth of the
matter is I didn’t clean the office as
good as I could have and the reason I
did not is because I wanted him to call
me into the office so I can spend time
doing it over again as I listened to the
motivational messages that he listened
to every day by Earl Nightingale I can
remember
yesterday we become what we think about
all of us are self-made but only the
successful will admit it I can hear the
voice of dr. norman vincent peale who
wrote the power positive thinking
don’t allow your negative thoughts to
hold you back you are greater than your
circumstances I can remember what he was
listening to Zig Ziglar if you give
enough people what they want they will
give you what you want I can remember as
he is listening to Jim Rouen when the
incomes for you let it find you
conquering a new mountain not sliding
down and over and unbeknownst to me
those messages their programming my mind
and it helped me to begin to develop a
mindset of possibility don’t you think
about your goals and dreams of what you
want to achieve what a personal level
mine was to buy my mother home to take
care of her what is your goal what’s
your dream what is something that you
want to do with your life and I can say
to you based upon my own experience I
don’t even know you that is possible
that you have the ability to do more
than you can ever begin to imagine and
and your your mindset is crucial as you
look at your goals in your dreams
and having a spirit of optimism I had a
friend who went to New York City to
apply for a job and she came back and I
said hey how did things go she said I
didn’t get the job
I said what happened she said they
turned me down but I didn’t think I was
gonna get it anyhow and I thought after
I left her presence but why did she go
the first place good boy she went there
with a mindset that she was not going to
get the job I believe that we have an
energy and a spirit about us that people
Telegraph that but I believe that had
she gone there’s no guarantee that hey
with a sense of expectation I’m gonna
get this job I think a preparation her
attitude and her behavior and her energy
would have been totally different I’m
reminded of two little boys who were in
Philadelphia and they’re playing
timaeus that they got out two for one
fell through the ice
and and and you were thrashing trying to
get out and obviously his friend looked
at him and panicked that he couldn’t
reach him he couldn’t pull him out and
so he saw him going under the ice and it
was very hot and he couldn’t break
through and so this little frail fellow
ran he saw a tree in the distance and he
scampered up this tree and he broke off
a big branch and came back and savagely
began to beat the ice and he broke it
and miraculously he saved his friend and
when the paramedics came people looking
at him he had a blanket around him his
little puny dude about twelve years old
and and people start asking the question
as they looked at him and they looked at
the branch how could this little small
fellow break this branch often and beat
this eyes and break it save his friend
how could he have done that as small as
he was and and as they were scratching
their heads as a gentleman who was there
said I could tell you how he did it and
everybody said how and he said there was
no one here to tell him that he couldn’t
do it
see a lot of people are not really
living their dreams and living the kind
of life that they are capable of living
because of the fact that they have been
inundated with so many negative
conversations have you ever had a golden
dream of something you want to achieve
and you shared with people that you love
and thought they’ll be excited for you
and they said to you you can’t do that
you know MIT did a study the study
indicated if I tell you you can’t do
that somebody else has to come alone and
say you can do it you can do it don’t
listen to him Ruby you can’t do it John
don’t listen to les you can do it they
have to say that 17 times before they
can neutralize that one time that’s why
my favorite book says faith comes by
hearing and hearing and hearing and so
by listening to those motivational
messages every day when my mother went
to do domestic work on Miami Beach it
began to give me a sense of optimism of
the possibilities of the kind of life
that I can live and I’m saying to you as
you listen on a regular basis as you
begin to program your mind deliberately
the reason that most people don’t
achieve their goals is because they are
thinking like everybody else sixteen
revolutionary words be not conformed to
this world be transformed by the
renewing of your mind
that’s an on-going process what are your
goals what are your dreams ro
Nightingale was right you don’t get in
life what you want you get in life what
you are and so you want to take the time
every day to listen to things that can
help to program your mind positively
because at the end of the day if you
don’t program your mind it’s going to be
programmed trust me it’s going to be
bombarded with all kind of hit
commercials I was at a service station
pumping gas and a commercial came up at
me you get on the elevator and
commercials are there you look at
billboards their messages is coming in
over 5,000 10,000 messages on a regular
basis and so as you look at your goals
and dreams it’s very important that you
are intentional about controlling what
goes on in your mind because everything
gets in through the eyes and through the
ears so what do you want what do you
want for yourself what I’m doing right
now I didn’t do it for 14 years you know
why because I was suffering from
possibility blindness have you thought
about doing something and you you looked
at what you wanted to do and your heart
said I could do that and then your mind
asked how and then you start thinking
well I can’t do that I don’t have a
college education I can’t do that I
don’t have an MBA or a PhD I can’t do
that I’ve never worked for a major
corporation about why would corporations
reach over people with PhDs and MBAs and
years of experience and pay me to come
in to do something I’ve never done I
thought about doing this for years and I
talked myself out of it yes an African
proverb this says if there’s no enemy
within the enemy outside can do us no
harm Shakespeare says the fort dear
Brutus it’s not enough Stars but in
ourselves that we are underlings and so
as you look at yourself and look at your
goals and look at your dreams I’m saying
to you that it’s possible because if
anybody at any point in time had a goal
had a dream of what they wanted to
achieve and they made it happen
then it’s possible that you can do it
too
you’ve got to be intentional about
programming your mind so there’s some
things that’s very important I want you
to hold in mind what is you want to do
in your personal life what is it that
you’d like to do maybe you want to do
something for someone you care about
I was the gold and dream that I had and
I purchased four different homes for my
mother then how what you think about
your financial goal you know people say
money won’t make you happy but everybody
want to find out for themselves I have a
friend a Rita Davenport and Rita said
you know but it can’t make you happy you
so you look at your goals and dreams I
want you to think about you’ll find out
your freedom number what does that look
like that once you achieve that it will
alleviate a lot of stress once you
achieve that let you have more time for
yourself and for your family you could
go on that dream vacation you have been
thinking about Oh bye that dream car or
home that you desire once you earn that
amount of money it would be like
becoming debt-free I want you to think
about you’ll find out your freedom
number and then once you come up with
that number and I want you to write it
down as you come up with that number I
want you to multiply it a hundred times
yes a hundred times
read my lips a hundred times why because
I found that most people fail in life
not because they aim too high and miss
now most people fail in life because
they do what I did for a major part of
my life
aim too low and hit and most people
don’t aim at all that’s why this is
saying that if you don’t know where
you’re going and end up someplace else
and so you are serious about your goals
and dreams I can say to you that you’ve
got to firm yourself you’ve got to tell
yourself you’ve got to encourage
yourself that it’s possible but you’ve
got to talk to yourself on a regular
basis I’d never forget I had to speak in
the Georgia Dome for a friend of mine
Dexter Jaeger and Dex CJ here is a
multi-millionaire it makes over a
million dollars every 17 hours this
organization that I spoke for and he
invited me to be his guest speaker the
headliner before 80,000 people in the
Georgia Dome I panic and the first thing
happens but I’ve become afraid I have to
go to the bathroom the ban is stalling
you need to come out and I said okay
okay okay okay and I was talking to
myself saying I can do this I can do
this
my mind went blank because I became
overwhelmed when I peeked out up front
and saw 80,000 people in this stadium
it’s the largest gathering I’d ever seen
like this I’ve seen it for sporting
events but for speaking event I’ve never
been in that kind of environment before
but most people I’ve ever spoken for up
to that time maybe about 500 or maybe a
thousand but 85,000 I went to the
bathroom ever does
because my favorite number you know I’m
one of seven kids like Social Security
numbers to 6/7 my phone number is 702
did I tell you my favorite number is
seven God made the world in seven days
mainland dipped himself in the River
Jordan seven times Joshua marched around
the walls of Jericho
seven times did I tell you I wouldn’t
bathroom him seven times because seven
is my favorite level well finally they
got Mike Williams my mentor and he came
and he’d knocked on the door of his
portable restroom he said brownie and I
said yes he said come out I said Mike
I’m scared I can’t think he said are you
afraid admit it I said yes I am
I’m nervous I just can’t do it my gonna
I’m scared
he said brownie I said yes he said are
you listening to me I said yes he said
they came to see you you didn’t come to
see them
you got this brown you can do this
Wow let me tell you what he did one of
the things I do is train in his speakers
how to change lives what he did was he
distracted me I was caught up in how big
the crowd was I was caught up with
saying what can I say to them I was
breathing hard I was feeling overwhelmed
being in that setting and when he spoke
I knew that he believed in me when he
spoke it’s like he saw me on stage
speaking and and he convinced me that I
could do it
see sometimes it’s very important for
you to hear this sometimes you have to
believe and somebody’s belief in you
until your belief kicks in and so when I
looked at myself and I looked at where I
was what I said to myself Mike believes
in me he believes that I can do this and
I’m saying to you as you look at your
goals and look at your dreams one of the
things that’s important and maintaining
of an achievement driven mindset and a
spirit of optimism is having someone in
your corner having someone who believes
in you having someone who can see what
you can’t see see sometimes you can’t
see the picture when you’re in the frame
that’s why it’s very important for us
and have coaches people who can
encourage us who can inspire us you know
Muhammad Ali said I’m the greatest but
he never won a championship without
Angelo Dundee in his corner people say
that Michael Jordan what are the
greatest basketball players of all times
but he never won a championship without
Phil Jackson as his coach
and so as you work on yourself and work
on your dreams I’m suggesting that you
get someone in your life that you can
partner with someone that can see what
you can’t see someone that when you feel
you can’t make it someone when you feel
I can’t do this and they can give you a
word of encouragement and will make all
the difference in the world
and I finally came out look emo and as
you walked in toward the stage I stopped
Dexter’s hand and put it on my head out
of the wide is that okay and I finally
went up and I did it and the speech was
called it’s not over until I win and
what I really meant about that it’s not
over until you win over that inner
conversation that you have with yourself
see there’s some things that you can do
that you don’t know right now and just
because you can’t see it doesn’t mean
that it’s not available to you my
favorite book says eye has not seen ear
has not heard nor is in it a heart of
mankind what God has in store for you
there’s some things that you can do that
the heart can feel it can experience it
but the mind can’t get itself wrapped
around it and that’s why I’m saying what
are your goals what are your personal
goals what do you financial goals and
what’s your social contribution I
believe we live in the greatest country
in the world that gives us an
opportunity to leave a legacy harsman
said we should be ashamed to die until
we’ve made some major contribution to
humankind one of those I have as a 17
year cancer Conqueror is to let people
know you are more powerful than cancer
one of those I have is is to reduce the
number of women who die from breast
cancer my mother was a 22-year breast
cat
conqueror one of the goals I have is to
teach people everyday average people
outside of the church and outside of
politics both of which I believe
polarize and divide people but ordinary
people who want to live an extraordinary
life how to use their story how to use
their voice to make a difference or use
their knowledge to to create a financial
empire for themselves what’s your goal
what’s your dream what will your legacy
be at the end of the day when you leave
here what are three things that you want
said about you when you check out
because we’re gonna all go nobody’s
figured out how to get out of life alive
a lot of people go through life not
attempting to do anything big or major
with their lives because they are trying
to play it safe
hello listen to me hello there’s no safe
position in life hello there’s no safe
position you can’t get out of here a lot
you got to die anyhow and people who
believe that it’s possible they can have
their dreams these are people that are
daring Helen Keller said life is either
a daring adventure or it’s boring decide
if you’re gonna make your life a daring
adventure decide to become a risk-taker
this God said if you’re not willing to
risk you cannot grow
and if he cannot grow you cannot become
your best and if you can’t become your
best you can’t be happy and if you can’t
be happy then what else is there
listen I don’t know you but here’s what
I know about you based upon my own
experience you have something special
you have greatness within you I don’t
give you of going through some tough
times right now you are greater than
your circumstances what you are growing
through not going through what you are
growing through will help you to become
a better person the periods in life and
you have to realize that you have to
come to a place within yourself where
you say I’m not going down like this I’m
not going out like this you’ve got to
get to a place where you say I’ve had it
I was working on a job and they didn’t
like me and I didn’t like them they paid
me just enough to keep me from quitting
and I work just hard enough to keep from
getting fired it was a contract of
mediocrity and and I got to the point
and this is when people change their
lives I got to a point where I said hey
I’ve had it I’m out of here
where are you going I don’t know but I’m
out of here
you bout to make me lose my mind up in
here up in here you bout to make me act
our fool oh yeah up in here come on I
can say to you as you look at yourself
look at your goals look at your dreams
what do you want to do in July
it’s possible if anybody at any point in
time in history had a goal had a dream
and made it happen then it’s possible
that you could have you go it’s possible
that you can have your dream and as you
look at yourself work on yourself every
day well less what about those negative
thoughts you can’t kill them they’re
like little weeds they keep on coming
back you can’t kill weeds they grow
through the cracks of sidewalks and and
so you can overpower those negative
voices by listening to motivational
programs by tuning in on a regular basis
to hear my voice by reading 10 to 15
pages of something positive every day by
going to seminars and workshops and
member mesmerizing yourself with
material that can help you to begin to
get a different vision of yourself to
change your whole approach of how you
see life and it will help you to get to
that next level it help you to get
unstuck and how does that happen less
it’s process I wish I could just tell
you all you have to just think positive
and be enthusiastic and everything is
gonna work out all right
no no you can have a positive mental
attitude in life put some nuts or your
here life is like a box of chocolates
you never know what you are going to get
when you have goals and dreams make it
not strange that your face The Fiery
Furnaces of this world you will not you
might you will have tribulations but in
the midst of it all
believe it’s possible it’s possible
friend of mine he was he was facing a
life-threatening disease in it said and
he fell it was possible even though his
body was wracked with pain even though
he was diagnosed with cancer at 18 even
though the doctors called his family in
and said he’s not going to make it he
held on because he believed it was
possible he was not just a statistic it
was possible that if he had to fade that
he had the drive if he had the
determination he could come through this
he said to himself this too shall pass
and so it’s possible you can live your
dreams and you have to work at that it’s
a moment a moment effort that you have
to work to train your mind to serve you
you know the temptations have a song
years ago just by imagination running
away with me in the absence of
information our imagination will run
away with us tell us that we can’t do
things begin to panic and we make
decisions based upon our fears as
opposed to our faith the executor said
the fears false evidence appearing real
faith is finding answers in the heart we
heart is there your treasure is also
what do you love what turns you
what do you really want in your life for
your life how do you want to show up in
the world how do you want to use this
gift call life has been said that life
is it’s God’s gift to us and how we live
our lives it’s our gift to God whatever
your goals are your personal goal your
financial goal or this social
contribution your legacy your mark what
you think about it here’s what I know
that it’s possible here’s what I know
and if you think about it what you think
about you bring about if you’re willing
to put in the work it’s possible if you
continue to encourage yourself continue
to fall forward I’ve got to sing when
life knocks you down try and land on
your back because if you can look up you
can get up you have something special
you have greatness within you your dream is possible that’s my story
goals and your dreams what do you think
about something that’s important to you
maybe it’s a personal goal I know in my
own personal experience my goal was to
be able to buy my mother a home I’m
adopted and so I wanted to be able to do
something special for my adopted mother
she was a domestic worker for wealthy
families on Miami Beach it she cooked
for these families and wait the food
leftover from the families that she
cooked for and she kept the children and
we won a hand-me-down closer the
children that she kept it you could
imagine as a kid I used to save my mom
on the way home on the bus from Miami
Beach back to Liberty City and over town
I said when I become a man I’m gonna be
able to buy clothes for us and buy
groceries for us but not only that
imma buy you a big beautiful home just
like the homes that you clean every day
and she said Leslie you don’t have to do
that I said I know what I’m going to and
and you know what the reason that I I
said that I believed that it was
possible see the family that that mama
worked for that mr. sidarsky used to
listen to motivational messages every
day I was very fortunate to have to take
care of the needs that mr. sidarsky had
to shine his shoes and dust his office
and he was very rude to me he said
Leslie especially had guests did you
clean this yes I did sir look at it how
can you say that I do apologize sir and
this guest which they don’t talk to him
like that
that’s not nice but the truth of the
matter is I didn’t clean the office as
good as I could have and the reason I
did not is because I wanted him to call
me into the office so I can spend time
doing it over again as I listened to the
motivational messages that he listened
to every day by Earl Nightingale I can
remember
yesterday we become what we think about
all of us are self-made but only the
successful will admit it I can hear the
voice of dr. norman vincent peale who

I left her presence but why did she go
the first place good boy she went there
with a mindset that she was not going to

Telegraph that but I believe that had
she gone there’s no guarantee that hey
with a sense of expectation I’m gonna

reminded of two little boys who were in
Philadelphia and they’re playing

well I can’t do that I don’t have a

don’t have an MBA or a PhD I can’t do
that I’ve never worked for a major
corporation about why would corporations
reach over people with PhDs and MBAs and
years of experience and pay me to come
in to do something I’ve never done I
thought about doing this for years and I
talked myself out of it yes an African

becoming debt-free I want you to think
about you’ll find out your freedom
number and then once you come up with
that number and I want you to write it
down as you come up with that number I
want you to multiply it a hundred times
yes a hundred times
read my lips a hundred times why because
I found that most people fail in life
not because they aim too high and miss
now most people fail in life because
they do what I did for a major part of
my life
aim too low and hit and most people
don’t aim at all that’s why this is
saying that if you don’t know where
you’re going and end up someplace else
and so you are serious about your goals
and dreams I can say to you that you’ve
got to firm yourself you’ve got to tell
yourself you’ve got to encourage
yourself that it’s possible but you’ve
got to talk to yourself on a regular
basis I’d never forget I had to speak in
the Georgia Dome for a friend of mine
Dexter Jaeger and Dex CJ here is a
multi-millionaire it makes over a
million dollars every 17 hours this
organization that I spoke for and he
invited me to be his guest speaker the
headliner before 80,000 people in the
Georgia Dome I panic and the first thing
happens but I’ve become afraid I have to
go to the bathroom the ban is stalling
you need to come out and I said okay
okay okay okay and I was talking to
myself saying I can do this I can do
this
my mind went blank because I became
overwhelmed when I peeked out up front
and saw 80,000 people in this stadium
it’s the largest gathering I’d ever seen
like this I’ve seen it for sporting
events but for speaking event I’ve never
been in that kind of environment before
but most people I’ve ever spoken for up
to that time maybe about 500 or maybe a
thousand but 85,000 I went to the
bathroom ever does
because my favorite number you know I’m
one of seven kids like Social Security
numbers to 6/7 my phone number is 702
did I tell you my favorite number is
seven God made the world in seven days
mainland dipped himself in the River
Jordan seven times Joshua marched around
the walls of Jericho
seven times did I tell you I wouldn’t
bathroom him seven times because seven
is my favorite level well finally they
got Mike Williams my mentor and he came
and he’d knocked on the door of his
portable restroom he said brownie and I
said yes he said come out I said Mike
I’m scared I can’t think he said are you
afraid admit it I said yes I am
I’m nervous I just can’t do it my gonna
I’m scared
he said brownie I said yes he said are
you listening to me I said yes he said
they came to see you you didn’t come to
see them
you got this brown you can do this
Wow let me tell you what he did one of
the things I do is train in his speakers
how to change lives what he did was he
distracted me I was caught up in how big
the crowd was I was caught up with
saying what can I say to them I was
breathing hard I was feeling overwhelmed
being in that setting and when he spoke
I knew that he believed in me when he
spoke it’s like he saw me on stage
speaking and and he convinced me that I
could do it
see sometimes it’s very important for
you to hear this sometimes you have to
believe and somebody’s belief in you
until your belief kicks in and so when I
looked at myself and I looked at where I
was what I said to myself Mike believes
in me he believes that I can do this and
I’m saying to you as you look at your
goals and look at your dreams one of the
things that’s important and maintaining
of an achievement driven mindset and a
spirit of optimism is having someone in
your corner having someone who believes
in you having someone who can see what
you can’t see see sometimes you can’t
see the picture when you’re in the frame
that’s why it’s very important for us
and have coaches people who can
encourage us who can inspire us you know
Muhammad Ali said I’m the greatest but
he never won a championship without
Angelo Dundee in his corner people say
that Michael Jordan what are the
greatest basketball players of all times
but he never won a championship without
Phil Jackson as his coach
and so as you work on yourself and work
on your dreams I’m suggesting that you
get someone in your life that you can
partner with someone that can see what
you can’t see someone that when you feel
you can’t make it someone when you feel
I can’t do this and they can give you a
word of encouragement and will make all
the difference in the world
and I finally came out look emo and as
you walked in toward the stage I stopped
Dexter’s hand and put it on my head out
of the wide is that okay and I finally
went up and I did it and the speech was
called it’s not over until I win and
what I really meant about that it’s not
over until you win over that inner
conversation that you have with yourself
see there’s some things that you can do
that you don’t know right now and just
because you can’t see it doesn’t mean
that it’s not available to you my
favorite book says eye has not seen ear
has not heard nor is in it a heart of
mankind what God has in store for you
there’s some things that you can do that
the heart can feel it can experience it
but the mind can’t get itself wrapped
around it and that’s why I’m saying what
are your goals what are your personal
goals what do you financial goals and
what’s your social contribution I
believe we live in the greatest country
in the world that gives us an
opportunity to leave a legacy harsman
said we should be ashamed to die until
we’ve made some major contribution to
humankind one of those I have as a 17
year cancer Conqueror is to let people
know you are more powerful than cancer
one of those I have is is to reduce the
number of women who die from breast
cancer my mother was a 22-year breast
cat
conqueror one of the goals I have is to
teach people everyday average people
outside of the church and outside of
politics both of which I believe
polarize and divide people but ordinary
people who want to live an extraordinary
life how to use their story how to use
their voice to make a difference or use
their knowledge to to create a financial
empire for themselves what’s your goal
what’s your dream what will your legacy
be at the end of the day when you leave
here what are three things that you want
said about you when you check out
because we’re gonna all go nobody’s
figured out how to get out of life alive
a lot of people go through life not
attempting to do anything big or major
with their lives because they are trying
to play it safe
hello listen to me hello there’s no safe
position in life hello there’s no safe
position you can’t get out of here a lot
you got to die anyhow and people who
believe that it’s possible they can have
their dreams these are people that are
daring Helen Keller said life is either
a daring adventure or it’s boring decide
if you’re gonna make your life a daring
adventure decide to become a risk-taker
this God said if you’re not willing to
risk you cannot grow
and if he cannot grow you cannot become
your best and if you can’t become your
best you can’t be happy and if you can’t
be happy then what else is there
listen I don’t know you but here’s what
I know about you based upon my own
experience you have something special
you have greatness within you I don’t
give you of going through some tough
times right now you are greater than
your circumstances what you are growing
through not going through what you are
growing through will help you to become
a better person the periods in life and
you have to realize that you have to
come to a place within yourself where
you say I’m not going down like this I’m
not going out like this you’ve got to
get to a place where you say I’ve had it
I was working on a job and they didn’t
like me and I didn’t like them they paid
me just enough to keep me from quitting
and I work just hard enough to keep from
getting fired it was a contract of
mediocrity and and I got to the point
and this is when people change their
lives I got to a point where I said hey
I’ve had it I’m out of here
where are you going I don’t know but I’m
out of here
you bout to make me lose my mind up in
here up in here you bout to make me act
our fool oh yeah up in here come on I
can say to you as you look at yourself
look at your goals look at your dreams
what do you want to do in July
it’s possible if anybody at any point in
time in history had a goal had a dream
and made it happen then it’s possible
that you could have you go it’s possible
that you can have your dream and as you
look at yourself work on yourself every
day well less what about those negative
thoughts you can’t kill them they’re
like little weeds they keep on coming
back you can’t kill weeds they grow
through the cracks of sidewalks and and
so you can overpower those negative
voices by listening to motivational
programs by tuning in on a regular basis
to hear my voice by reading 10 to 15
pages of something positive every day by
going to seminars and workshops and
member mesmerizing yourself with
material that can help you to begin to
get a different vision of yourself to
change your whole approach of how you
see life and it will help you to get to
that next level it help you to get
unstuck and how does that happen less
it’s process I wish I could just tell
you all you have to just think positive
and be enthusiastic and everything is
gonna work out all right
no no you can have a positive mental
attitude in life put some nuts or your
here life is like a box of chocolates
you never know what you are going to get
when you have goals and dreams make it
not strange that your face The Fiery
Furnaces of this world you will not you
might you will have tribulations but in
the midst of it all
believe it’s possible it’s possible
friend of mine he was he was facing a
life-threatening disease in it said and
he fell it was possible even though his
body was wracked with pain even though
he was diagnosed with cancer at 18 even
though the doctors called his family in
and said he’s not going to make it he
held on because he believed it was
possible he was not just a statistic it
was possible that if he had to fade that
he had the drive if he had the
determination he could come through this
he said to himself this too shall pass
and so it’s possible you can live your
dreams and you have to work at that it’s
a moment a moment effort that you have
to work to train your mind to serve you
you know the temptations have a song
years ago just by imagination running
away with me in the absence of
information our imagination will run
away with us tell us that we can’t do
things begin to panic and we make
decisions based upon our fears as
opposed to our faith the executor said
the fears false evidence appearing real
faith is finding answers in the heart we
heart is there your treasure is also
what do you love what turns you
what do you really want in your life for
your life how do you want to show up in
the world how do you want to use this
gift call life has been said that life
is it’s God’s gift to us and how we live
our lives it’s our gift to God whatever
your goals are your personal goal your
financial goal or this social
contribution your legacy your mark what
you think about it here’s what I know
that it’s possible here’s what I know
and if you think about it what you think
about you bring about if you’re willing
to put in the work it’s possible if you
continue to encourage yourself continue
to fall forward I’ve got to sing when
life knocks you down try and land on
your back because if you can look up you
can get up you have something special
you have greatness within you your dream is possible that’s my story
