you know I never want to be that
nine-to-five person that just lives my
entire life working a nine-to-five and
just be happy with a modest lifestyle
you know being secure a lot of people
that’s all they want they just want a
secure lifestyle you know own a house
you know and be able to retire and that
makes them happy you know and I just
believe that we should always be always
be pushing you know to achieve more it’s
become more you know and submit a job
the same job for 30 years is not
something that would ever choose to do
in the society you know we we are tied
to go to college and get a job that’s
what we’re taught if you become a doctor
or a lawyer you’re successful you know
but most of time you still have a loss
you still have someone you know
what to do and you still have this
together you have to stick to you know
so it’s not much different than working
at McDonald’s I mean it’s just you’re
making more money but you’re still in
the same exact situation and you know
working at McDonald’s is not something I
was used to do or same scenario make
more money
no Timmy’s got to enjoy what you’re
doing and you know to have the lifestyle
and freedom
you know it’s the most important thing a
lot of people don’t understand it you
got to work hard at whatever you do
whether you’re working for someone else
or working for yourself if you want to
put that in you know you’re gonna end up
being successful
you can’t be satisfied with that’s what
keeps us going you know when you become
content then life’s over and in the
mentality is what’s gonna make things
happen you know is having that mentality
to never give up keep pushing forward
and trying to accomplish your goals and
hopefully you have more goals possibly
trying to move on to bigger and better
things and trying to improve ourselves
in every area you really have to believe
what you’re doing is working you know
it’s very important to believe you have
to believe to achieve if you’re doing
something you’re not half percent
confident what you’re doing you’re gonna
fail you know someone who is doing
something maybe not a Harper said
correctly but they truly believe in
their mind that they’re doing the best
it could possibly do and they believe
what they’re doing is the best possible
scenario I think they’re gonna have a
lot more success than someone that is do
it in a hundred percent right but aren’t
positive in what they’re doing you know
the mind is the most powerful tool we
have it in order to be a winner you have
to lose
you know that’s that’s that’s how you
learn you know one day I’m a is telling
me you better get out there and you know
start busting your ass you know going
forward and never stop don’t miss a day
you know one day missus they can’t get
back
always always look at the positive you
know the glass is always half full if
you think positive and you look at the
positive you know you’re you’re only
going to continue to get better and it’s
being positive in every area is the
secret you know it’s the secret to life
if you’re negative about anything you’re
gonna fail no matter what it is you’re
not happy you want to be better but
that’s what you want in every expert
life you want to better yourself in
every way possible
[Music]
you know it all works hand in hand a lot
of people realize have somebody else to
helping yourself but it feels good you
know and it just what comes around goes
around
the most important thing is life
analyzing to not give a what other
people think you know that’s the most
important thing and to have that kind of
an attitude of mentality is rare you
know people are always concerned about
what other people think
always no matter who they are it really
doesn’t matter what
you know it really doesn’t matter if you
can have that kind of mentality if
there’s so much further than someone’s
happier in life people don’t like to
think they like to ask now they don’t
like to think and they don’t have enough
confidence and their decisions that they
make on their own when they get advising
someone else that gives them more
confidence to believe that that’s gonna
work we should always be trying you know
to be better at every aspect in life I
mean you know are you a good husband are
you a good wife
are you a good son you know are you good
you know you know whatever it could be
you know there’s a million things in
life that we are we I think we should
constantly be trying to be better in
every area I kind of like to just you
know relax you know enjoy life and
that’s kind of what I do um and being
able to to not stress and do what I want
to do when I want to do it is just a
the one commodity that is most valuable
on this earth is time time to love time
to live from the moment the human body
is born
it begins dying I don’t think you need
quite caught that let me say it again
from the moment the human body is born
it begins dying some happen faster some
happen slower
some of us help them have to go faster
and some of them prevent it from
happiness or then later coach hi coming
to you live on the field of life how
many seconds how many minutes do we
waste every day doing things that are
nowhere near the goals and aspirations
and passions that we have inside how
many times you go through the course of
a day and realize did I do anything I
set out to do today write down those
goals each and every day no matter
there’s two goals a day if you can
accomplish those then you’re doing more
than just making it through the day you
are living and achieving your dreams
you know as inspirational speakers we
don’t want to just talk to you we want
to live that as well I’ve done that in
my life as well find time to better
yourself read explore research live life
do things you’ve never thought of doing
before that’s what it’s all about when
you’re born that’s their date that they
put on the left side of the tombstone
when you die they put another date on
the right side of the tombstone but that
– in the middle is the most important
thing on that tombstone that is a line
that throughout that entire time frame
you were able to impact and touch
other’s lives
you were able to leave your mark on this
earth you were able to build a legacy
that nobody could change you were able
to have it to where people remembered
who you are no matter what when you’re
living for that – in the middle you’re
gonna remember your why even your why
why are you here not not – why why did
you do something you’re why you’re your
reason for getting up in the morning
your reason for pushing yourself past
the brink of exertion and giving up your
reason for moving on and getting things
done in life that – in the middle that’s
the thing that pushes you
just to stop for a second write down
your why what what are you doing this
for in life if your why doesn’t make you
cry that’s not your wife again if your
why doesn’t make you cry then that’s not
your why your why should be something so
big that it moves your family tree your
why should be something so big that it
changes the whole outlook on how things
are with you and your home your family
think about your passion think about
your opportunities and that’s how you
find your purpose OPP when that why
meets up with your passion your
opportunity of your purpose then you’ll
find out the most important day in your
life is the day you remember why you
I will explain to you how you can live
an easy life you know accomplishing
goals and be successful going out in the
world and that’s tough the only way to
live an easy life is to basically give
up on all your dreams and aspirations
and just sit around doing nothing
that is easy it’s not worth the
competition therefore a life that is
easy it’s not even worth living nothing
in this world is worth having or doing
unless it means effort pain and
difficulty don’t you listen to me you
should be good you are going to die
all you all your friends your family
everyone you know everyone you care
about it’s gonna die if you love life
not waste time because time is what life
is made of so if you respect and
appreciate the time that you’ve been
given one you aren’t there doing what
you want to do where you need to be
telling yourself is it’s unacceptable to
be singing around the procrastinate and
I no longer want to be a loser I no
longer want to be average I know what it
is that I want and I’m gonna work hard
and I’m gonna get it when you want to
succeed as bad as you want to breathe
then you’ll be successful something you
love sleep more than you love success
and I’m here to tell you today if you’re
going to be successful you’ve got to be
willing to give up sleep you got to be
willing to work off for three hours of
sleep two hours if you really want to be
successful some days you will have to
stay up three days in a row we don’t
need to if you don’t really want to how
badly a you wanting success
rather than actually working towards
your dreams a lot of you’re just
thinking about it I have high hopes for
everybody watching this I want to
remember your name
[Music]
it is not the things we do in life that
we regret on our deathbed it is the
things we do not because I assure you
I’ve done a lot of really stupid things
none of them bother me all the mistakes
and all the dopey things and all the
times I was embarrassed they don’t
matter find your passion and in my
experience no matter what you do at work
what you do in official settings that
passion will be grounded in people
grounded in the relationships you have
with people and what they think of you
in the teeth of these stupefying odds it
is you and I in our ordinariness that
but one thing I can tell you I think
every single day of my life is I trying
to find somebody else to change their
I waited till 39 to get married because
I had to wait that long to find someone
where her happiness is more important
than mine
and if nothing else I hope that all of
you can find that kind of passion
a journey of a thousand miles begins
with a single step
it’s from an old Chinese proverb most
people have heard it or have come across
it at some point and the meaning is
pretty straightforward right it
advocates having the courage to take
that step towards a goal and that’s huge
they’re making that decision to move
forward towards something you want but
it’s what happens immediately following
that first step that I’m interested in
what happens when the journeys begun and
it’s you and your goal and all of a
sudden you realize how long that road
ahead really is now this is a turning
point for a lot of people and those who
can succeed are able to take their
daunting intimidating goal or journey
and see it for what it really is
just a bunch of small manageable tasks
strung together you know when you look
at why people quit a lot of the time
it’s because they were overwhelmed by
their goals and ambitions let’s say you
have you know this wonderful plan in
your head to climb a mountain you’re
thinking about that feeling of being on
top looking down with pride every time
you think about it your heart starts
racing
so you pack your stuff you make your way
down on the base of the mountain and
then you look up different ballgame
right now the entire mountain is in
front of you and you realize that that’s
no small feat that is when people walk
away when they aren’t able to see it
challenges the some of tiny steps they
see it as a crazy impossible task it’s
like saying you want to be the next Tom
Brady or Kobe Bryant it’s a tall
mountain to climb like trying to hit a
target from a mile away but if you can
identify and map out what you need to
conquer in order to become a better
basketball player or football player and
begin taking those small steps improving
everyday that makes things real that’s
what gives goals life
the ability to see your objective not as
a marathon but as a series of little 400
meter stretches stepping stones you know
what your objective is today tomorrow
the end of the week and the end of the
year we’re completing them day by day
these little victories that’s what gives
your dream life it’s what gives you
momentum you feel good about the process
and by the way when things blow up in
your face which happens every so often
on this little place we call Earth
you’ll have that foundation in that
sense of accomplishment to stay focused
because your approach is tangible and
it’s realistic this applies with
everything losing a job a breakup
failing a test these things are
monumental if you allow them to be you
know they can turn into that unclimbed
bull mountain or they can roadmap a new
path for you and if you define what you
want you define success and begin
stepping towards it one hour one day at
a time you’ll get where you want to be
quicker than you thought what changes
our whole life is action why don’t we
take action fear what we gotta do to get
ourselves to do it we got to make sure
that we push ourselves through it by
making a decision the point in which
change happens is a decision every
change in your life that you want will
come from something simple a decision
if I persist if I continue to try if I
continue to charge forward I will
succeed I will persist until I succeed I
was not delivered unto this world in
defeat not as fairly of course in my
veins I am NOT a sheep waiting to be
prodded by my shepherd I am a lion and I
refuse to talk to walk to sleep with the
Sheep don’t be a follower be a student
take advice but not orders take
information but don’t let somebody you
know order your life not to do what
someone else says take what someone else
says process it think about it ponder it
it makes you wonder it makes you think
and it’s valuable then when you go take
action make sure that the action is not
what somebody tells you make sure the
action is the product of your own
but I’m exactly where I want to be
because I realized I got to commit my
very being to this thing and until you
get there you’ll never be successful in
life once you get there i guarantee you
the world is yours stay out of the
clutches of mediocrity invent yourself
and then reinvent yourself change your
tone and shape so often that they can
never categorize you reinvigorate
yourself and accept what is be self
taught and reinvent your life because
you must it is your life and it’s
history and the present belongs only to
that will try and take
and positive vibes don’t wake our only
we’re too late
not weaker
[Music]
you have the power to allow others that
they told you or not everybody that
comes in and out your life is put in
place to these
[Music]
this world is just totally happy place
with no spoke with EU
other games
Damon courage roads and interstates and
to thrive
Payne everybody is put in place in your
life for you to not to fail whatever it
takes to get you to try harder read more
set your goals and go for it
here’s the next attitude disease over
caution some people never will have much
they’re too cautious now you can also be
too reckless but you can also be too
cautious this is called the timid
approach to life and my caution was
always the risk risk used to drive me
right up the wall
I used to say what if this happens it’s
called the language of the poor what if
this happens and on top of that if this
was to happen look at the fix I be and
I’d better not try
I could always ace myself out then I’ll
tell you what changed my whole life when
I finally discovered it’s all risky the
minute you were born it got risky if you
think trying is risky wait till they
hand you the bill for not trying if you
think investing is risky wait till you
get the tab for not investing see it’s
all risky getting married is risky
having children is risky going into
business is risky investing your money
is risky it’s all risky I’ll tell you
how risky life is you’re not going to
that’s risky the Englishman says well if
that’s the way it’s gonna work out let’s
give it a go
somebody says yeah but I’m looking for
safety and security
fine then huddle in a corner we’ll cover
you with a sheet bring you three meals a
day and we’ll protect you
feed you look after you care for you we
won’t let anything happen to you and
you’ll probably live to be 100 the guy
said well yeah I’d live to be 100 but
what a way to live right what a way to
live safe and secure don’t ask for
security ask for adventure better to
live 30 years full of adventure than 100
years safe in the corner and see it’s
not important how long you live what’s
important is how you live here’s the
next attitude disease we’re almost
through with this motley list in fact
we’re almost through hang on the next
pessimism the deadly disease of always
looking on the bad side the problem side
the difficult side checking all the
reasons why it can’t be done the poor
pessimist leads an ugly life he doesn’t
try to figure out what’s right he tries
to figure out what’s wrong he doesn’t
look for virtue he looks for faults and
when he finds him he’s delighted how
this is the poor guy looks through the
window doesn’t see the sunset he sees
the specks on the wind and this is the
poor guy right who rushes up take such
leave of his senses
this guy rushes up and he says I’ve got
five good reasons why it won’t work he’s
so dumb he doesn’t know all you needs
one he’s got 5 – the pessimist the glass
is always half-empty – the optimist the
glass is half-full why would the same
measure affect people to different ways
answer it all depends on how you look at
it our lives are mostly affected by the
way we think things are not the way they
are the way we think they are affects us
most there’s a subject we don’t have
time to get into tonight called better
thinking habits one of the major things
Shoaf taught me when I met him he said
poor thinking habits keeps most people
poor and not poor working habits most
people work hard but they don’t think
hard and so taught me that the mind is
like a factory a mental Factory and
whatever you think about all day long
pours ingredients into this mental
Factory and that’s what builds the
economic social financial fabric of your
he quoted me a Bible phrase that says as
you think so you become how awesome when
he talked about poor thinking habits he
had me I used to start the day reading
the morning newspaper I mean you can
believe that or not I’d get a cup of
coffee and read the paper I’d load up on
wars and riots and murders and stabbings
and killings and bank robberies and
muggings and car wrecks and tragedies
I’d even read the back pages I seem to
like that stuff for some weird reason
I’d load up on all that and then I start
the day you can imagine the kind of days
I used to have you walk around on your
financial knees they call you economic
peewee the guy says I want to be a great
leader wonderful the first thing we do
is following to his house when we get
there we walk in and check his library
number one somebody says well why check
his library the reason is because what a
man reads pours massive ingredients into
his mental factory and the fabric of his
life is built from those ingredients you
would not believe what some people have
got in their house to read you would not
believe one of the best-dressed appoints
I know for a lot of it is trash can you
imagine dumping a bale of trash into
this mental factory every day and coming
out with a rich dynamic positive life it
can’t be done you might as well try
making a cake with cement the kids back
in Danbury Connecticut high school
they’re asking me questions one day I’m
talking to the kids kids got good
questions these days one of them said to
me mr. Owen how do you build the good
life I said it’s simple it’s not
easy but it’s simple here’s how you
build anything select the right
ingredients keep out the wrong
everything starts with thought so you
must be wise and careful what you think
about because that starts everything you
gotta be wise and careful I asked the
kids what would happen if somebody
dropped sugar in my coffee they said
will you’d be okay I said what if
somebody dropped strychnine in my coffee
they said well you’d be dead
I said correct lesson 1 life is both
sugar and strychnine you gotta be
careful I said what if my worst enemy
drops in the sugar they said will you be
ok
I said what if my best friend even by
accident drops in the strychnine they
said well you’d be dead
you got to be careful see it doesn’t
matter who hands you the bad stuff it
doesn’t matter where you get the bad
stuff it’ll still do its damage on your
bank account wherever you get it
mr. shelf gave me one of the greatest
phrases when I first met him when he
said gym every day stand guard at the
door of your mind how important stand
guard at the door of your mind and you
decide what goes into your mental
factory don’t let anybody just dump
anything they want to in your mental
factory because you’ve got to live with
the results okay here’s the last disease
and we’re through with this list
in fact we’re almost through hang on the
last subject is very brief the last
disease but this one is deadly engage in
this one indulge in it even slightly and
you might as well forget the future
because it’s gonna forget you
complaining crying crying griping a
Bible word called murmuring see that’ll
ace your future spend five minutes
complaining and you have wasted five and
you may have begun what’s known as
economic cancer of the bone surely they
will soon haul you off into a financial
desert and there let you choke on the
dust of your own regret I hope I said
that well so you won’t forget it’s a
deadly disease if you don’t think it’s
bad ask the children of Israel of Old
Testament fame typical of us all their
story just happened to get in the book
story says children of Israel were
slaves God performed a series of
dazzling miracles and got him out and
now they’re heading for the Promised
Land remember the story heading for the
Promised Land tragedy of the story they
never got there
reason from day one they started to
complain they griped about the water
they griped about the weather
they whined and cried and griped about
the food they griped about the
leadership they’ve whined and cried cuz
it was too far too cold too hot too
difficult too miserable I mean they
widened wined and cried for years
finally God said I’ve had it trip
canceled or something like that the
story says they died in the desert never
got to the promised land
which I think means two things
indulge in this long enough you get your
futurecast and I guess it also means
just be on the lookout of the things
that can destroy all the good you start
the war is on in this evening tomorrow
mentally personally socially
economically you got to make sure you’re winning the war
nine-to-five person that just lives my
entire life working a nine-to-five and
just be happy with a modest lifestyle
you know being secure a lot of people
that’s all they want they just want a
secure lifestyle you know own a house
you know and be able to retire and that
makes them happy you know and I just
believe that we should always be always
be pushing you know to achieve more it’s
become more you know and submit a job
the same job for 30 years is not

easy it’s not even worth living nothing
in this world is worth having or doing
unless it means effort pain and
difficulty don’t you listen to me you
should be good you are going to die
all you all your friends your family
everyone you know everyone you care
about it’s gonna die if you love life
not waste time because time is what life
is made of so if you respect and
appreciate the time that you’ve been
given one you aren’t there doing what
you want to do where you need to be
telling yourself is it’s unacceptable to
be singing around the procrastinate and
I no longer want to be a loser I no
longer want to be average I know what it
is that I want and I’m gonna work hard
and I’m gonna get it when you want to
succeed as bad as you want to breathe
then you’ll be successful something you
love sleep more than you love success
and I’m here to tell you today if you’re
going to be successful you’ve got to be
willing to give up sleep you got to be
willing to work off for three hours of
sleep two hours if you really want to be
successful some days you will have to
stay up three days in a row we don’t
need to if you don’t really want to how
badly a you wanting success
rather than actually working towards
your dreams a lot of you’re just
thinking about it I have high hopes for
everybody watching this I want to
remember your name
[Music]
it is not the things we do in life that
we regret on our deathbed it is the
things we do not because I assure you
I’ve done a lot of really stupid things
none of them bother me all the mistakes
and all the dopey things and all the
times I was embarrassed they don’t
matter find your passion and in my
experience no matter what you do at work
what you do in official settings that
passion will be grounded in people
grounded in the relationships you have
with people and what they think of you
in the teeth of these stupefying odds it
is you and I in our ordinariness that
but one thing I can tell you I think
every single day of my life is I trying
to find somebody else to change their
I waited till 39 to get married because
I had to wait that long to find someone
where her happiness is more important
than mine
and if nothing else I hope that all of
you can find that kind of passion
a journey of a thousand miles begins
with a single step
it’s from an old Chinese proverb most
people have heard it or have come across
it at some point and the meaning is
pretty straightforward right it
advocates having the courage to take
that step towards a goal and that’s huge
they’re making that decision to move
forward towards something you want but
it’s what happens immediately following
that first step that I’m interested in
what happens when the journeys begun and
it’s you and your goal and all of a
sudden you realize how long that road
ahead really is now this is a turning
point for a lot of people and those who
can succeed are able to take their
daunting intimidating goal or journey
and see it for what it really is
just a bunch of small manageable tasks
strung together you know when you look
at why people quit a lot of the time
it’s because they were overwhelmed by
their goals and ambitions let’s say you
have you know this wonderful plan in
your head to climb a mountain you’re
thinking about that feeling of being on
top looking down with pride every time
you think about it your heart starts
racing
so you pack your stuff you make your way
down on the base of the mountain and
then you look up different ballgame
right now the entire mountain is in
front of you and you realize that that’s
no small feat that is when people walk
away when they aren’t able to see it
challenges the some of tiny steps they
see it as a crazy impossible task it’s
like saying you want to be the next Tom
Brady or Kobe Bryant it’s a tall
mountain to climb like trying to hit a
target from a mile away but if you can
identify and map out what you need to
conquer in order to become a better
basketball player or football player and
begin taking those small steps improving
everyday that makes things real that’s
what gives goals life
the ability to see your objective not as
a marathon but as a series of little 400
meter stretches stepping stones you know
what your objective is today tomorrow
the end of the week and the end of the
year we’re completing them day by day
these little victories that’s what gives
your dream life it’s what gives you
momentum you feel good about the process
and by the way when things blow up in
your face which happens every so often
on this little place we call Earth
you’ll have that foundation in that
sense of accomplishment to stay focused
because your approach is tangible and
it’s realistic this applies with
everything losing a job a breakup
failing a test these things are
monumental if you allow them to be you
know they can turn into that unclimbed
bull mountain or they can roadmap a new
path for you and if you define what you
want you define success and begin
stepping towards it one hour one day at
a time you’ll get where you want to be
quicker than you thought what changes
our whole life is action why don’t we
take action fear what we gotta do to get
ourselves to do it we got to make sure
that we push ourselves through it by
making a decision the point in which
change happens is a decision every
change in your life that you want will
come from something simple a decision
if I persist if I continue to try if I
continue to charge forward I will
succeed I will persist until I succeed I
was not delivered unto this world in
defeat not as fairly of course in my
veins I am NOT a sheep waiting to be
prodded by my shepherd I am a lion and I
refuse to talk to walk to sleep with the
Sheep don’t be a follower be a student
take advice but not orders take
information but don’t let somebody you
know order your life not to do what
someone else says take what someone else
says process it think about it ponder it
it makes you wonder it makes you think
and it’s valuable then when you go take
action make sure that the action is not
what somebody tells you make sure the
action is the product of your own
but I’m exactly where I want to be
because I realized I got to commit my
very being to this thing and until you
get there you’ll never be successful in
life once you get there i guarantee you
the world is yours stay out of the
clutches of mediocrity invent yourself
and then reinvent yourself change your
tone and shape so often that they can
never categorize you reinvigorate
yourself and accept what is be self
taught and reinvent your life because
you must it is your life and it’s
history and the present belongs only to
that will try and take
and positive vibes don’t wake our only
we’re too late
not weaker
[Music]
you have the power to allow others that
they told you or not everybody that
comes in and out your life is put in
place to these
[Music]
this world is just totally happy place
with no spoke with EU
other games
Damon courage roads and interstates and
to thrive
Payne everybody is put in place in your
life for you to not to fail whatever it
takes to get you to try harder read more
set your goals and go for it
here’s the next attitude disease over
caution some people never will have much
they’re too cautious now you can also be
too reckless but you can also be too
cautious this is called the timid
approach to life and my caution was
always the risk risk used to drive me
right up the wall
I used to say what if this happens it’s
called the language of the poor what if
this happens and on top of that if this
was to happen look at the fix I be and
I’d better not try
I could always ace myself out then I’ll
tell you what changed my whole life when
I finally discovered it’s all risky the
minute you were born it got risky if you
think trying is risky wait till they
hand you the bill for not trying if you
think investing is risky wait till you
get the tab for not investing see it’s
all risky getting married is risky
having children is risky going into
business is risky investing your money
is risky it’s all risky I’ll tell you
how risky life is you’re not going to
that’s risky the Englishman says well if
that’s the way it’s gonna work out let’s
give it a go
somebody says yeah but I’m looking for
safety and security
fine then huddle in a corner we’ll cover
you with a sheet bring you three meals a
day and we’ll protect you
feed you look after you care for you we
won’t let anything happen to you and
you’ll probably live to be 100 the guy
said well yeah I’d live to be 100 but
what a way to live right what a way to
live safe and secure don’t ask for
security ask for adventure better to
live 30 years full of adventure than 100
years safe in the corner and see it’s
not important how long you live what’s
important is how you live here’s the
next attitude disease we’re almost
through with this motley list in fact
we’re almost through hang on the next
pessimism the deadly disease of always
looking on the bad side the problem side
the difficult side checking all the
reasons why it can’t be done the poor
pessimist leads an ugly life he doesn’t
try to figure out what’s right he tries
to figure out what’s wrong he doesn’t
look for virtue he looks for faults and
when he finds him he’s delighted how
this is the poor guy looks through the
window doesn’t see the sunset he sees
the specks on the wind and this is the
poor guy right who rushes up take such
leave of his senses
this guy rushes up and he says I’ve got
five good reasons why it won’t work he’s
so dumb he doesn’t know all you needs
one he’s got 5 – the pessimist the glass
is always half-empty – the optimist the
glass is half-full why would the same
measure affect people to different ways
answer it all depends on how you look at
it our lives are mostly affected by the
way we think things are not the way they
are the way we think they are affects us
most there’s a subject we don’t have
time to get into tonight called better
thinking habits one of the major things
Shoaf taught me when I met him he said
poor thinking habits keeps most people
poor and not poor working habits most
people work hard but they don’t think
hard and so taught me that the mind is
like a factory a mental Factory and
whatever you think about all day long
pours ingredients into this mental
Factory and that’s what builds the
economic social financial fabric of your
he quoted me a Bible phrase that says as
you think so you become how awesome when
he talked about poor thinking habits he
had me I used to start the day reading
the morning newspaper I mean you can
believe that or not I’d get a cup of
coffee and read the paper I’d load up on
wars and riots and murders and stabbings
and killings and bank robberies and
muggings and car wrecks and tragedies
I’d even read the back pages I seem to
like that stuff for some weird reason
I’d load up on all that and then I start
the day you can imagine the kind of days
I used to have you walk around on your
financial knees they call you economic
peewee the guy says I want to be a great
leader wonderful the first thing we do
is following to his house when we get
there we walk in and check his library
number one somebody says well why check
his library the reason is because what a
man reads pours massive ingredients into
his mental factory and the fabric of his
life is built from those ingredients you
would not believe what some people have
got in their house to read you would not
believe one of the best-dressed appoints
I know for a lot of it is trash can you
imagine dumping a bale of trash into
this mental factory every day and coming
out with a rich dynamic positive life it
can’t be done you might as well try
making a cake with cement the kids back
in Danbury Connecticut high school
they’re asking me questions one day I’m
talking to the kids kids got good
questions these days one of them said to
me mr. Owen how do you build the good
life I said it’s simple it’s not
easy but it’s simple here’s how you
build anything select the right
ingredients keep out the wrong
everything starts with thought so you
must be wise and careful what you think
about because that starts everything you
gotta be wise and careful I asked the
kids what would happen if somebody
dropped sugar in my coffee they said
will you’d be okay I said what if
somebody dropped strychnine in my coffee
they said well you’d be dead
I said correct lesson 1 life is both
sugar and strychnine you gotta be
careful I said what if my worst enemy
drops in the sugar they said will you be
ok
I said what if my best friend even by
accident drops in the strychnine they
said well you’d be dead
you got to be careful see it doesn’t
matter who hands you the bad stuff it
doesn’t matter where you get the bad
stuff it’ll still do its damage on your
bank account wherever you get it
mr. shelf gave me one of the greatest
phrases when I first met him when he
said gym every day stand guard at the
door of your mind how important stand
guard at the door of your mind and you
decide what goes into your mental
factory don’t let anybody just dump
anything they want to in your mental
factory because you’ve got to live with
the results okay here’s the last disease
and we’re through with this list
in fact we’re almost through hang on the
last subject is very brief the last
disease but this one is deadly engage in
this one indulge in it even slightly and
you might as well forget the future
because it’s gonna forget you
complaining crying crying griping a
Bible word called murmuring see that’ll
ace your future spend five minutes
complaining and you have wasted five and
you may have begun what’s known as
economic cancer of the bone surely they
will soon haul you off into a financial
desert and there let you choke on the
dust of your own regret I hope I said
that well so you won’t forget it’s a
deadly disease if you don’t think it’s
bad ask the children of Israel of Old
Testament fame typical of us all their
story just happened to get in the book
story says children of Israel were
slaves God performed a series of
dazzling miracles and got him out and
now they’re heading for the Promised
Land remember the story heading for the
Promised Land tragedy of the story they
never got there
reason from day one they started to
complain they griped about the water
they griped about the weather
they whined and cried and griped about
the food they griped about the
leadership they’ve whined and cried cuz
it was too far too cold too hot too
difficult too miserable I mean they
widened wined and cried for years
finally God said I’ve had it trip
canceled or something like that the
story says they died in the desert never
got to the promised land
which I think means two things
indulge in this long enough you get your
futurecast and I guess it also means
just be on the lookout of the things
that can destroy all the good you start
the war is on in this evening tomorrow
mentally personally socially
economically you got to make sure you’re winning the war
