but when you know within yourself that
there’s something you want to do and I
believe that all of us was born with a
purpose that all of us have something
that we are supposed to do and all of us
have some goodness within us and that
goodness gives us a responsibility to
manifest our greatness and when you know
that you can feel it in your guts and
you know that you’re deliberately
operating below your potential you’ve
gotten comfortable you stop expanding
you stop stretching you stop challenging
yourself let me share something else
with you not only it’s it’s possible for
you to have your dream but it’s
necessary it’s necessary that you have
that you work on it that you develop
yourself that you go for what is yours
in the universe have a friend that at
the beginning of the year I was in Los
Angeles giving a speech and and I do a
seminar teaching people how to become
involved in the speaking business and
and also one call speaking with power
teaching people how to begin to develop
their communication skills and this
friend I said I want you to work with me
I called her up she said let’s are you
sure I’ve been doing sure you can you
have a PhD in communications I don’t
have that if I can do it sure you can do
it in fact I’m gonna give you the
support that you need here’s what I
realize ladies and gentlemen we only
have enough energy to take us to a
certain level but it’s necessary that we
assemble ourselves with other people who
share our vision other people that can
see it for us to give ourselves a
home-court advantage
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
so it’s necessary that you seek out
other people who fake like you who are
growing who decided that they are not
satisfied with where they are see I
don’t believe that the necessity that
necessity is the mother invention of
invention no necessity in my opinion is
not the mother of invention refusing to
accept things the way that they are is
the mother of invention you decide I’m
not going to settle for this this is not
going to be it for my life I deserve
more than this so that will stop making
you do some stuff see a lot of people go
to work every day miserable and all they
do is just talk about how miserable they
are but they don’t do anything about it
so I was telling her that I knew she
hated a job with a passion I said you
can do this
you got more going for you than I have
going for me and we’ve been going
through this for years ladies and
gentlemen she had been to my seminar
speaking for living
she brought her husband and that was one
of the major problems that I realized
that happened in her life he couldn’t
see it for her so you got to make sure
that you have people in your life that
can see it for you that will encourage
you non affirming relationships can hurt
and I talk to them I say you know I
don’t have anything to do with your
marriage is that your and I are good
friends and she and I are good friends
and and I’m not taking sides I said but
if you can’t see it for it don’t tell of
that
just give her some support what if
you’re wrong it’s possible man that that
if I’m doing it she can do well you’re
different
how you gonna tell me that you’ve seen
her speak she’s got great speaking
skills don’t underestimate her you don’t
know you’ve got a great woman here but
you see people who can’t see it for
themselves can’t see it for you
he was happy so I said will you do it
with me I said I’m gonna give you the
support you need you can’t do it by
yourself I will stand with you she said
you will I said yes I’m gonna make you a
part of my seminar you’re doing part of
it and I’ll do a part of it speaking
with power she said okay
three days later ladies and gentlemen I
got an emergency call at my office it
was from a husband he called and said
tell Les Brown that Marion is dead
I said oh no when I was flying there to
go to the funeral and I remember the
last time that I saw her and I had some
of her papers that I had gotten
inadvertently confused with mine and I
took them home and I was searching
through these papers to do one of her
work she was a prolific writer and what
got me what was so sad that made me
began to cry was that there were poems
that she had started that were profound
poems great thoughts that she didn’t
complete ways that she had started that
she didn’t completely that poem was
given to her I can’t finish that for her
nor can you that play whatever the
outcome that she had envisioned that she
had imagined was given to her only her
and that she’s the channel that that was
going to come through you are here and
you are the vessel you are the outlet
for the universe that you’ve been
selected there’s something for you to do
I believe all of us have some purpose
for being here and as I was going to the
funeral and I was reading a newspaper
that said that that millions of people
are dying because of what they’re eating
talking about their diet and I’m sure
that it was Marian talking to me
whispering saying les the next time you
speak so that even more are dying
because of what’s eating
when the challenges of life come your
way you got to find ways to increase
your sense of self appreciation because
if you don’t you’re bombarded with
negative stuff every day that beats you
down and you will find yourself
unconsciously engage in self-destructive
behavior if you don’t program yourself
life will program you
[Applause]
[Music]
so you want to have an agenda for your
life it’s necessary that you have some
direction for your life a friend at the
National Speakers convention gave us
presentation and it really struck me he
was talking about when he was traveling
across Europe one bresson and he said a
different point soldiers would wake them
up on their journey and asked him the
question and I pulls this to you the
question was where have you been why are
you here and where are you going
and that’s what I asked you where have
you been where have you been up to this
point you look at your life you look at
what you’ve produced is it giving you
what you wanted are you living on
purpose are you living your dream are
you acting on your ideas are you doing
all you can do have you gotten
comfortable are you procrastinating are
you invading your own greatness are you
surrounding yourself with people that
can endure as you are you challenging
yourself are you experimenting are you
learning something different your life
an adventure or is it boring where have
you been why are you here what brought
you here investing the time the money
what brought you here and where are you
going what is it that you can get out of
this session out of this lecture that
when you leave here rather than this
just being a spectator event that you’ve
got some idea some dream that you might
have to go back and brush it off and
look at it again and say I’ve got to do
this this is my stuff this is what I’m
supposed to do this is why I showed up
where are you going with your life what
decisions are you making right now as
you look into the future are you
experimenting to find out what are the
talents and abilities that you have see
we’re at a time right now the day is
gone where you could just go to college
and get out and and get a job and work
30 or 40 years with job security and
retire with a goal was the goal watch
so now you have got to be multi-talented
and multi skill you’ve got to use all
your stuff you don’t know what else you
can do I don’t know I can do what I’m
doing right now it’s necessary that you
stretch and challenge yourself say let
me see I start out as a trainer I’m a
trainer that’s what I am that’s what my
expertise was then and then I decided
let me see can I speak and then I
discovered hey I can do that what if I
hadn’t tried to do than just been
satisfied with just being a trainer with
a limited vision of myself and then
after training and then as well leave a
cure to business for myself and I
started speaking going at the business
for myself
well maybe I can train other sneakers
and teach them how to go into business
for themselves so you want to have a
back-up plan you want to have other
strategies for yourself in case this
doesn’t work out you’ve got something
else going over here you don’t want to
ever put yourself in a vision in a
situation where you have a limited
vision and you’re only using a limited
amount of your talents of your skills
and of your abilities and I’m saying to
you
it’s possible you’ve got some talents
some ideas and you your ability to do
some stuff that you haven’t even
discovered yet and I’m suggesting that
it’s necessary that you get outside of
your comfort zone it’s necessary that
you develop some new relationship where
you can learn from people it’s necessary
but you do reading that you do research
it’s necessary if you’re already
involved in some business but you don’t
be satisfied with where you off you want
to make it a day it’s necessary for you
to constantly look at ways of getting
better not all is it possible for you to
have your dream and it’s necessary for
you to challenge yourself to go after it
and get better and leverage
relationships that can help you get to
where you want to go but it’s you the
major key to your reaching your dream
you’re living up to your greatness
you’re making your contribution is you
if the economy is good fantastic if the
banks are loaning money that’s great if
people are positive that’s great you
don’t have any opposition that’s great
but the major key to your making things
happen in your life is you when I want
to get on public television are they
you can’t do that so what about I’ve
seen these other people on it’s possible
I can get on Leo bestia John Bradshaw
it’s possible with less jib Pogo time I
let’s be realistic
come on be logical I said wait a minute
why can’t I do it let’s look here think
about God who have credentials all kind
of credentials you don’t have any
college training they’re gonna put you
on television me a break I said it thank
and went on by my business yeah I mean
let me tell you something what people
think about you and the possibilities
for your dream is none of your business
that’s their business
they have no imagination ladies and
gentlemen delivering out of the class
out of their memory the attitude is it
can’t be done because they haven’t seen
it they’re judging according to
appearances the people that are go to
make it in the future
the people that are making it today let
me share something with you
history is being read but it’s also
being written by people with imagination
[Applause]
[Music]
so I went to the next floor necessary to
stop talking to people in seeking and
asking but what I wanted and leveraging
relationships and trying to find out how
did the people do it
that went ahead of me how do they do it
and then what is it I need to do how is
it I need to train myself to develop
myself what’s the resources that will be
required in order to make it happen and
as I start seeking out and asking
questions I started running into people
said I know someone who can help you do
that and they helped me get connected
with those people remember we have so
much energy that can take us so far it’s
necessary that you hook up with some
other energy that can take you to the
next level I hope that willingness and
less let’s go I set away we go
[Music]
I love it you want your stuff it’s
necessary you take responsibility for
that you make it happen that you don’t
give up that you don’t take any
objection or disappointment or defeats
personally that you keep on keeping on
that you don’t decide that I can’t make
it because you can’t see the light at
the end of the tunnel that you realize
that’s a part of the program and here’s
something you’ve got to resolve say this
to yourself
every day see as long as you breathe
that you got a shot at your dream that’s
the way I resolve say this please it’s
not over until I win
got that right
[Applause]
not over till I win not over til I get
through it’s not over til I get over not
over till I get what I want y’all can’t
open a day to look out I’m gonna come
back and take the hinges off that’s how
you got to do that you’ve got to have
that kind of courage that type of
determination if you want to make it
happen it’s you that you’ve got to take
personal responsibility to make it
happen
that you have got to do own what it is
that you want to do if it’s taking care
of your wieldy if it’s making a
difference in our school system if it’s
working with senior citizens if it’s to
protect our ecology if it’s a create an
economic Renaissance if it’s just to
take yourself to another level
it’s you you’ve got to make it happen we
can point out many things that can make
it inconvenient or can slow us down but
ultimately it’s on us next step is not
only is it possible and necessary and
it’s you to live your dream to make this
this greatness that you have within you
become a reality but what I have come to
appreciate when you’re working on
changing your life changing some bad
habit getting out of addictive
situations or relationships or working
to build a dream while making a
difference in our society or learning
something that’s very challenging here’s
what I I realize ladies and gentlemen
and develop a great deal of respect for
its ha easy is not an option it’s hard
living life is hard
see it’s hard when when you are 49 years
old and working on a job for 17 years
and they come in and tell you you’re
finished and give you one week severance
pay and you have to start all over again
it’s hard when you’re married and
raising children and your children are
crawling and your husband dies
unexpectedly
it’s hard handling just the tragedies of
life it’s hard when you’re working on
something in and you put everything you
have in it and it doesn’t work out you
lose your money and other people’s money
it’s wrong
it was rough when I lost my job and I
could not find a job it was humiliating
and embarrassing borrowing money and
then I couldn’t pay the money back when
I told them I would that’s rough how
people look at you how they respond to
you it’s very hard it’s humiliating
here’s what I discovered that happens to
you in life it you will go through
things and while you’re going through
them you can’t understand why it’s
happening to you but after you go
through it you get back and you look at
it and you say oh now I understand why I
needed that lesson have you a little
happened to you is there you’ve ever
happened to you
that that I think I couldn’t understand
it then but after I got through it then
I saw that that was prepared me for
[Music]
but as you go through the challenges of
life and you look at it and embrace
whatever comes to you don’t run from it
step toward it don’t try and duck it
like most people do see most people want
it easy see if you either come easy what
easy go see but when you go add what
you’re going to deal with and you deal
with the difficult difficulties of it
when you handle those hard things close
at hand making those hard decisions
right now
that you don’t want to make learning
those things that you don’t like to do
but you know that in order for you to
get where you want to go this is one of
the hoops that you have to flip through
and I’m saying to you whatever you got
to do do it because if you don’t life is
gonna whip you until you surrender and
say okay all right all right all right
all right I cooperate okay I’ll learn
okay say you head wear me out a long
time so if it’s hard to do it hard now
what do you how do you hang in there
during the hard difficult times less you
must have faith you’ve got to believe in
yourself you’ve got to believe in your
abilities you got to believe in your
service your company your ideas
unquestionably you got to have faith and
that faith gives you patience that is
not going to happen as quickly as you
want it to happen a lot of things gonna
happen that will catch you off guard and
so therefore you’ve got to deal with and
handle it as it comes and not only that
but that faith and patience drives you
into action you got to keep moving and
keep plugging away and the Far East they
have something that’s called the Chinese
bamboo tree the Chinese bamboo tree
takes five years to grow
and when they go through a process of
growing it they have to water and
fertilize the ground where it is every
day and it doesn’t break through the
ground until the fifth year okay but
once it breaks through the ground within
five weeks
it grows 90 feet tall now the question
is does it grow 90 feet tall in five
weeks or five years the answer is
obvious
it grows 90 feet tall in five years
because at any time that person stopped
watering and nurturing and fertilizing
that dream that bemble tree would have
died in the ground and I can see people
coming out talking to a guy out there
watering and fertilizing the ground
that’s not showing anything hey what you
keep it out here a long time man
and the conversation in the neighborhood
is you go on a Chinese bamboo tree that
right yeah that’s right well our even
Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder can say
Amen show [Applause]
there’s something you want to do and I
believe that all of us was born with a
purpose that all of us have something
that we are supposed to do and all of us
have some goodness within us and that
goodness gives us a responsibility to
manifest our greatness and when you know
that you can feel it in your guts and
you know that you’re deliberately
operating below your potential you’ve
gotten comfortable you stop expanding
you stop stretching you stop challenging
yourself let me share something else
with you not only it’s it’s possible for
you to have your dream but it’s
necessary it’s necessary that you have
that you work on it that you develop
yourself that you go for what is yours

become a reality but what I have come to
appreciate when you’re working on
changing your life changing some bad
habit getting out of addictive
situations or relationships or working
to build a dream while making a
difference in our society or learning
something that’s very challenging here’s
what I I realize ladies and gentlemen
and develop a great deal of respect for
its ha easy is not an option it’s hard
living life is hard
see it’s hard when when you are 49 years
old and working on a job for 17 years
and they come in and tell you you’re
finished and give you one week severance
pay and you have to start all over again
it’s hard when you’re married and
raising children and your children are
crawling and your husband dies
unexpectedly
it’s hard handling just the tragedies of
life it’s hard when you’re working on
something in and you put everything you
have in it and it doesn’t work out you
lose your money and other people’s money
it’s wrong
it was rough when I lost my job and I
could not find a job it was humiliating
and embarrassing borrowing money and
then I couldn’t pay the money back when
I told them I would that’s rough how
people look at you how they respond to
you it’s very hard it’s humiliating
here’s what I discovered that happens to
you in life it you will go through
things and while you’re going through
them you can’t understand why it’s
happening to you but after you go
through it you get back and you look at
it and you say oh now I understand why I
needed that lesson have you a little
happened to you is there you’ve ever
happened to you
that that I think I couldn’t understand
it then but after I got through it then
I saw that that was prepared me for
[Music]
but as you go through the challenges of
life and you look at it and embrace
whatever comes to you don’t run from it
step toward it don’t try and duck it
like most people do see most people want
it easy see if you either come easy what
easy go see but when you go add what
you’re going to deal with and you deal
with the difficult difficulties of it
when you handle those hard things close
at hand making those hard decisions
right now
that you don’t want to make learning
those things that you don’t like to do
but you know that in order for you to
get where you want to go this is one of
the hoops that you have to flip through
and I’m saying to you whatever you got
to do do it because if you don’t life is
gonna whip you until you surrender and
say okay all right all right all right
all right I cooperate okay I’ll learn
okay say you head wear me out a long
time so if it’s hard to do it hard now
what do you how do you hang in there
during the hard difficult times less you
must have faith you’ve got to believe in
yourself you’ve got to believe in your
abilities you got to believe in your
service your company your ideas
unquestionably you got to have faith and
that faith gives you patience that is
not going to happen as quickly as you
want it to happen a lot of things gonna
happen that will catch you off guard and
so therefore you’ve got to deal with and
handle it as it comes and not only that
but that faith and patience drives you
into action you got to keep moving and
keep plugging away and the Far East they
have something that’s called the Chinese
bamboo tree the Chinese bamboo tree
takes five years to grow
and when they go through a process of
growing it they have to water and
fertilize the ground where it is every
day and it doesn’t break through the
ground until the fifth year okay but
once it breaks through the ground within
five weeks
it grows 90 feet tall now the question
is does it grow 90 feet tall in five
weeks or five years the answer is
obvious
it grows 90 feet tall in five years
because at any time that person stopped
watering and nurturing and fertilizing
that dream that bemble tree would have
died in the ground and I can see people
coming out talking to a guy out there
watering and fertilizing the ground
that’s not showing anything hey what you
keep it out here a long time man
and the conversation in the neighborhood
is you go on a Chinese bamboo tree that
right yeah that’s right well our even
Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder can say
Amen show [Applause]
