HAVE COURAGE, BE FEARLESS – Les Brown Motivational Speech


in what you’ve done with your life thus
far is it giving you what you want is it
giving you what you want when you look
to want the future when you look at all
this going on out here is there some
place within yourself you say hey I know
I need to be out there in that arena I
know I can do more than what I’ve been
doing I know there’s some great music
that I have within me that I haven’t
brought out here is that something that
you began to look at within yourself see
I say if you look at your life and if
you’re not getting what you want you owe
it to yourself to do something
differently you are if you’re on a job
85% they say of Americans go to jobs but
they’re unhappy if you’re doing
something eight hours a day that you
don’t like it’s not giving you what you
want it’s not giving you a strong
feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment
you’re miserable you hate to go there
you’re depressed just thinking about it
you’re saying they thank God it’s Friday
song every week if that’s what it is you
owe it to yourself to start
statistically working to change
directions see but you know what most
people will do most people will resist
change
most people will fight change as if
change would be worse than what they’re
experiencing see they know this they’re
familiar with this most people will not
challenge the unknown they won’t just
step up there see days well see there
are certain things has got to be in
place they got to see it all together
and life isn’t like that that’s not how
you grow so as you look at your life
you’re saying I’m not getting what I
want
as you begin to look toward the future
begin to know that whatever it takes for
you to create that you’ve got that in
you if you’ve got that you’ve got genius
in you you’ve got goodness in you you’ve
got creativeness in you if you decide to
take the initiative to change the
current quality of your life I say to
you that you will find that the universe
is on your side that life is on your
side not will it be turbulent yes
would it be easy no no will you have
some opposition yes will I make a lot of
mistakes yes
will I get work yes yes see a lot of
people won’t try anything different in
life because they don’t want to get hurt
let me tell you something it’s too much
pain too doc pain is everywhere you can
hide under here it will come where you
are it’s everywhere Viktor Frankl cause
it unavoidable suffering you can’t duck
it but most people spend their life not
wanting to deal with the pain of
rejection the pain of defeat the pain of
being disappointed the pain of losing
the pain of failure the pain of being
criticized the pain of not being liked
the pain the pain the pain that’s all
right life is full pain
it’s everywhere but that’s why there’s
no gain without pain because it’s the
pain of regret
that’s your experience if I had it to do
over again that’s a pain don’t you know
that’s it when you know I was in a
seminar once and this lady stood up if I
had my life to live over again she
talked about all of the things that she
would do and you can feel the pain of
regret of pain of regret
she still experienced pain she was
trying not to experience the pain of
defeat the pain of disappointment the
pain of loss the pain of lack of support
and she still experienced pain it was
right there we can’t get around it
most people are governed by their habits
the fears and the opinions of others a
lot of people never try anything
differently because they have been
convinced by people in their lives that
they value that they can’t do it they’re
living within the context of the
opinions that other people have a bit
the low expectations many people doubt
themselves because when they thought
about doing something at some critical
point in their life somebody they
respected and honored somebody they
believed in somebody that they loved
someone they trusted said you can’t do
that and they accepted that as you look
at your life ask yourself the question
what would your life be like what would
your life look like if you decided not
to care what people thought of you what
would your life be like if you decided
what would your life be like if you
decided to become courageous over to
light the life if you decided to act on
your dream if you did what you felt in
your heart you know what courageous
means a Tom Ruskin and Randy Reed said
they said that courage comes from a
French word which means of the heart
that how does it feel to you
he says it’s courage you know it takes
courage to live just most people go
through life not allowing themselves to
step out because they don’t want to let
go they don’t want to be blown around
they don’t want to be moved the courage
to face life’s whirling wind of
contradictions the courage to love
yourself the courage to love for years I
was afraid to love the courage to take a
he says courage isn’t for somebody else
for metals applause immoral debts
courage is what at that moment feels
most right for you not just situational
ethics but what feels right in your
heart the word at the heart what feels
right in your heart
one great philosopher says cowards die
many times before their deaths
the valiant never taste of death but
once what does that mean the value
people aren’t afraid no no no it means
that they experience that fear and they
move forward and move forward any how
many people are dead now many people
allowing their dreams to die many people
applying the idea is to lie dormant and
collect dust
many people have all this talent and
ability that they align to be embedding
side of them that they will take with
them to their graves because they didn’t
have the courage to be who they are and
I say as you begin to look toward the
future and manifesting your greatness
that’s going to take everything in you
everything in you that your life
deserves to concentrate it F
to begin to look at how is it that I can
express more of me how is it that I can
bring my ideas out here now how is it
and start living with a sense of urgency
because you’re here today you’re gone
today life is unpredictable it’s
uncertain there’s no guarantees no
guarantees out here at all so holding
back what are you waiting on ask
yourself what’s the benefit of your
waiting what’s the benefit of your not
living your dream what’s the benefit of
not listening to yourself hold please
listen to yourself you know the feelings
that you start listening to the feelings
in your heart and I’m doing it now war
every day I find that my feelings
I can trust them and I say to you that
as you look toward the future you look
at life on a daily basis if there’s
something that you have been given if
you’ve heard something within yourself
that you know that that what you’re
doing now doesn’t fit you it doesn’t
work for you it’s not giving you what
you want and there’s something else that
you want to do don’t allow that inner
doubt in you to talk you out of it to
build a case on why you can’t have it to
tell you why you’re not good enough you
ignore that inner voice and all of the
external voices don’t judge the
possibilities for what you can do based
upon the circumstances
because the circumstances won’t
determine who you are don’t determine
what you’re able to do based upon your
resources don’t determine what’s
possible for you based upon where your
life is right now where your life is
right now is not you that’s just what it
is right now but the possibilities for
you are unlimited if you’re in a
rebuilding process it’s unlimited if
you’re coming back from adversity and
devastation it’s unlimited of what you
can do that’s the capacity of human
beings it doesn’t matter how many
mistakes you’ve made doesn’t matter how
many flops you’ve had doesn’t matter how
much money you’ve lost in fact I see it
only as min
which you learned from life not losses
but investments what’s possible for you
and I say to you that once you start
listening to yourself and as you began
to act on your dream as you start just
trying to find your way doing what you
can with what you have you will start
seeing things opening up for you start
attracting people you say where they
come from things will start coming
together clicking for you say whoa you
start brainstorming ideas will come out
of nowhere as you focus on it the key to
it is to begin to focus on what it is
you want to do why less why is that
important because as you focus on that
which you want to do that which we focus
on that which we give our energy to it
will begin to multiply it will begin to
expand it will begin to develop your
consciousness and out of that comes your
greatness out of that comes a commitment
out of that comes a passion for life out
of that comes a special power that you
have in you that you haven’t even called
on yet see the the powers that we have
will never reveal themselves if we don’t
challenge them if we don’t put ourselves
in the position where we have to use
them so one of the most important things
is reading a book that’s a really
interesting book called instant
millionaire and the guy said put
yourself in a position where you can’t
retreat where it’s do-or-die
sink or swim here’s what you’ll find out
you’ll develop incredible swimming
skills you’ll find yourself struggling
like you’ve ever seen before through the
inspiration of desperation you’ll become
more creative than ever before so what
is it how do we handle that whole tease
throw your whole self into it see most
people go at it tentatively they don’t
give all their stuff they don’t
concentrate they don’t put everything
you’ve got in them one guy wrote a book
called all you can do is all you can do
and all you can do is enough but he said
make
sure you do all you can do and if we
honest this evening we know that we
haven’t done all we can do so as we look
at the future we can decide that from
this day forward as I look at my
personal relationships if I look at my
professional relationships if I look at
my family relationships as I look at all
the dimensions of my life looking at
myself mentally emotionally and
spiritually I’m going to do all I can do
to develop me to bring my talent out here to make a contribution to life
