Les Brown: I WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED | Les Brown Motivational Speech


what makes you such a good fighter it’s
in my head 24/7 it’s not announced I
continue I don’t I don’t think about
nothing else
that’s it I’m just curious curiously
fascinated me and I can’t stop thinking
about everything I deal in my life is is
related to this I don’t think nothing
else if it’s enough got to do it fine by
me and that that is why and I mean to be
true so nearly all you’ve got to do is
show up is that not unhealthy to me
what’s unhealthy is living and on a
healthy life to me what’s unhealthy is
getting up and going through the same
day every day you like 9:00 to 5:00 in
an office or in a that’s unhealthy that
beats your mind I don’t I don’t work I
wore away I love what I do
and that’s why I’m doing what I love and
I mean that’s right that’s why it’s
become a career for me because I love it
I love what I do so I don’t think it’s
unhealthy I I feel good in my mind I
mean it’s my it’s my life first time
riding the airplane I was a senior going
to a football game and I wouldn’t
resting on an airplane and as I was
watching my hands there was a sign on
the wall and as I was walking out of
wrestling the sign said as common
courtesy to the person that’s coming
behind you can you wipe the sink out
leave it better than your belly and I
said as common courtesy to the
generation that is coming behind me and
write everything that I touch everything
that I’m a part of I
to God and I will leave it better
you have to have a reason for waking up
every day just put one foot in front of
the other and there will be times where
you will be down but in order to get
there tomorrow may be hardly there today
but it has to be a never-ending task
when you get to point A you’ll be going
to point B and you’re never reached the
level that you want to reach until you
breathe your last breath and that’s what
people mess up that’s where people give
up when they reach a certain level and
right and that satisfy never be
satisfied go beyond your dreams go
beyond your goal and you inspire the
world I just being you
like I get thousands of emails a week
how do I find my passion and literally I
reply it I don’t know I don’t I would
tell you my punchline is what would you
do if you could just do it all the time
I actually do that see anybody can
whether you will or not see that’s the
question we are all buying somebody’s
plan the question is who’s who’s got you
talked into doing what you’re doing but
see anybody if you want to can go
searching for a good plan pick it and
start working it and sure enough as the
time passes as it surely will five years
from now ten years from now then you’ll
be winding up wearing what you want to
wear driving what you want to drive
living where you want to live become
what you want to become but now is the
time to fix the next 10 years and who
anybody but imagine if you will being on
your deathbed and standing around your
bed the ghosts of the dreams the ideas
the abilities the talents given to you
by life and that you for whatever reason
you never went after that dream you
never acted on those ideas you never use
those talents you never to use those
gifts and there they are standing around
your bed looking at you with large angry
eyes and we came to you and only you
could have given us life and now we must
die with you forever
and the question is if you die today
what dreams what ideas what talents what
books what music what leadership what
voice will die with you what if you live
your whole life only to discover that it
was wrong that it was wrong that you
were chosen to do something else and you
didn’t do it continue to do those things
that you know that work for you after
you have evaluated yourself in the
situation continue to move stay busy
stay busy stay busy find somebody that
you can help so you can forget about you
for a moment see sometimes the best
thing to do is to be sometimes you have
to just back up and go within yourself a
bow and arrow you you can’t take a boat
and just push it out of now you just
can’t push the Aral out you have to
but and then release it sometimes you
have to back up and go within and pray
and meditate and recharge your batteries
go away clear your head and then come
back and look at it from a different
vantage point don’t operate while you
are under the spell of the effect of
what’s going on
next thing is that you’ve got to
activate the thinker in you don’t allow
your emotions to control you we are
emotional but you want to begin to
discipline your emotion if you don’t
discipline and contain your emotions
they will use you your mind goes on
automatic you don’t have to fuss
yourself or motivate yourself to think
negatively to be depressed to hate
somebody to want revenge you want to get
back at somebody to beat yourself up
over the head the feel loaded with guilt
you don’t have to make any effort to do
that your mind is on automatic it will
do that by itself but if you want to
begin to move into your own personal
greatness if you want to begin to really
enjoy a happy successful healthy life
you’ve got to be willing to go against
the tide you’ve got to be willing to
harness your will and say in spite of
this I’m in control here I’m not gonna
let this get me down I’m not gonna let
this destroy me I’m coming back and I’ll
be stronger and better because of it you
have got to make a declaration that this
is what you stand for you’re standing up
for your dreams you’re standing up for
peace of mind you’re standing up for
health you want it and you’re gonna go
all out to have it it’s not going to be
easy when you want to change it’s not
easy if it were in fact easy
everybody do it but if you’re serious
you’ll go all out yes I’m gonna turn
this situation around I’m not gonna sit
back and moan and cry over what happened
and what went wrong and who did what I’m
going to do something about this
situation the next thing that is
important is that expect things to get
better for you because they are say life
is cyclic you’re not what is it whatever
experience you’re having right now it
has not come to stay it has come to pass
not to stay just to pass it’s just going
through the biggest challenge is is to
know what’s happening this is a part of
this thing we call life this too shall
pass and maintaining perspective putting
it in perspective see a lot of us
because of our limited vision of
ourselves a lot of us who begin to focus
on problems and enable them to overwhelm
us we begin to think that we have no
options we begin to believe that there’s
no way out there’s always a way where
there’s a will there’s a way
damn unstoppable you’ve got to make
those kind of declarations to yourself
I’m unstoppable
this will not get me down and if I get
knocked down I’m gonna be like um liova
Scott you said you’re gonna have some
little moments in life but when you do
you’ll have high lows
when you work on yourself what are some
of those things that you can do during
this period of time go for walks do some
things for you just go for a stroll so
you can engage in some reflective
thinking on life on yourself looking and
enjoying the universe smelling the roses
along the way because you’re gonna have
sometimes low moments when you won’t
want to get out of bed you just want to
stay there the times you won’t want to
come out the house the times you’ll be
feeling better don’t know it’s necessary
to look at your goals your dreams it’s
necessary that you have a strategy in a
game plan to change the story that you
believe about yourself and that’s an
ongoing process I discovered and many
people have that what we do what we
accomplish what we produce is a result
of the story we believe about ourselves
my favorite book says begin our
conformed to this world being
transformed by the renewing of your mind
and so as I begin to work on myself I
realize that I’m getting out of one
story and stepping into another story as
I become aware of some things there’s
still some things I’m not aware of so I
still I’m still growing I’m still
developing I’m like the lady who said
Lord what a war Naveed what I’m gonna be
but thank God I show you what I was but
I realized that that you have to work on
yourself on a regular basis and write
this out for mental mindset for mental
mindset and stamina because things are
going to happen to you I don’t believe I
believe that the reason that most people
go to their graves where their talents
and abilities and skills into them is
because of the fact number one minute
like me that
know that they didn’t known and thought
they knew I thought I knew myself and I
really didn’t know myself as well as I
thought I’ve discovered that sometimes
people can take you to a place within
yourself that you can’t go by yourself
the other reason is I was afraid and
never worked for a major corporation I
want to speak for corporations I was
afraid I would I would be exposed
because I don’t have a college education
I felt inferior because of the fact that
I don’t have a college education I
allowed at that level of fear of failure
to stop me and because I never had an
experience in it I assumed that I could
not do it
I was paralyzing myself by believing and
assuming the limited part of myself as
opposed to believing that I had
something special you have something
special there’s something you want to do
because you don’t know how to do it
doesn’t mean that you can’t learn I like
something that I heard you don’t have to
be great to get started but you have to get started to be great
