here's all you have to do learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job once i understood that philosophy it totally changed my life work harder on yourself than you do on your job if you work hard on your job you can make a living which is fantastic if you work hard on yourself you can make a fortune which is super fantastic success is something you attract by becoming an attractive person success is not something you pursue success is something you attract by the person you become by becoming an attractive person never
be satisfied with yourself always know that as you invest the effort and time on you that's the greatest ability that human beings have above animals see a dog can't be anything but a dog tree can be anything but a tree human being you've got unlimited potential you can put effort on you and by concentrating on you and developing you you can transform your life wherever you are right now so you want to work on yourself [Music] my dreams are first every day then my wife then my kids i can take care of my wife and
my kids now did you agree i abandoned this this is the fuel for who i am i abandoned this dream and then i end up i can't take care of them and then i'm gonna tell them what it's all right that you didn't win no it's not all right if you don't win you need to win how many of you need to win more okay if you don't control your environment folks somebody else is going to control your environment you guys that run teams and run organizations if you do not control your environment someone else
will control your environment you are being controlled in your environment right now if you don't control your environment it starts with me when i was 45 years old i'm going to control my environment i'm going to take every penny i have all the energy i have all the resources i have and i'm going to improve me if i got to go broke in the process because i'm already broke look if you're not fulfilled to your if you're not reaching your full potential every day you're broke right now if you find your passion you're going to
have this tremendous energy of sustainable energy but momentum requires you always do the next thing to keep the momentum going if you believe in what you're doing that's fuel it adds more fuel to your fire [Music] you got to keep going you got to keep pushing through you got to keep persevering because at the end of the day when you do and you do and you do more you will be amazed at how the universe conspires to help you get to the place that you that you wanted to get to so believe in you block
out the shade and let your sun shine on through cause it's on you to be you and the reason you get yourself in a passionate place is so that you change your life and the only thing that changes your life is making a decision so while you're in this passionate state that's where you make decisions the only way that commitment and the energy and the momentum continues is if you take immediate massive what my friend massive action is the cure-all massive action is the cure-all that's how you develop yourself that's how you begin to appreciate
what you get when you're working on a dream at some point in time a transition take place and the transition is is what you are becoming in pursuit of the dream because even if you don't get the dream you become such a strong and powerful person it will so change your life you can look at something else and say well i think i'll go do this then because you've now developed yourself in such confidence and such competence and how to deal in the arena of life that you can move into another area and not miss
a beat once you begin to discover who you are then you really realize how you have been given authority and dominion over everything on the face of the earth including all the dimensions of your life but you can only do that through the struggle of life and most people avoid the struggle most people go through life avoiding pain and when you go through life like that something in you dies something in you that you never activate is lying dormant in there that you never get a chance to call on because you have not challenged yourself
somebody said the land of familiarity belongs to the dead that most people like to feel like they're a king in the area of their comfort zone they only want to do those things that they know how to do well osborne said unless you attempt to do something beyond that which you've already mastered you will never grow so if you want to begin to grow you've got to put something out here that you can't reach easily that has got to make you stretch got to make you jump for it got to make you get back a
little bit and dig in so that you can take a leap for it and maybe you jump up there and you miss it and you skin your knees and you come back again and you bust your lip next time but you keep on and through that process you learn how to leap higher you start challenging yourself to dig deeper and then you discover some things about you that you don't know right now some talents that you have in you that you didn't know that you can do if you want to begin to make your stuff
happen for you i think that it's very important that you start trusting yourself listen to yourself listen to that still small voice within you don't try and make everything logical there are some things about life that defies logic that you just can't explain how the outcome is going to be i think that's why paul said you've got to learn how to walk by faith and not by sight that once you begin to trust yourself and your ideas and your instincts life takes in a whole new meaning because now i want you to do that feeling
that you are led just feel i am led ladies and gentlemen don't give your power away you don't need anybody to approve your dream it was given to you if they can't see it it's because it wasn't given to them it was given to you hold it nourish it cultivate it work on it it's yours it's your baby work corner until it comes into fruition i gave away my power and i said i'm not going to do that no more here's something else for those who make it today do what you know is right treat
people like you want to be treated don't try and take any shortcuts don't try and cheat pay your dues up front i believe ladies and gentlemen what goes around comes around you can pay now or you will pay double later so do the right thing there might be a tendency sometimes because of the negative part of our consciousness and our own programming for us to want to say well i just do it this time it won't matter won't nobody know ladies and gentlemen everything matters and you know you're somebody you know i rather lose out
on my dream doing the right thing than the cheat trying to make a shortcut to get to my goal i want to be able to look myself in the mirror that's what you want to do there's no saying judge a man not by what he does but by that that he doesn't have to do and the judge the true quality of a man is what do you do when nobody's looking see there's some good out there for you in the universe that has your name on it and nobody can get your good it has your
name on it they can't take your stuff it's your stuff so when you know that when you know that whatever you're seeking it's also seeking you you don't worry you don't run scared you don't think somebody's gonna take it from you you listen to your inner voice and you always take the high road there will be the tendency the natural inclination to take the low road you must resist that repeat after me please i will always take the high road and do the right thing no matter what take action not hasty if it isn't required
but don't lose much time here's the time to act when the idea is hot and the emotion is strong that's the time to act you say mr i'd like to have a library like yours see if you feel strong about that what you got to do is get the first book and then get the second book before the feeling passes and before the idea gets dim action pronto action immediate action as soon as possible because if you don't here's what happens we call it the law of diminishing intent we intend to when the idea strikes
us we intend to when the emotion is high but now if you don't translate that into action fairly soon now the intent starts to diminish diminish diminish and a month from now it's cold year from now can't be found so act set up a discipline when the emotions are high and the idea is strong and clear and powerful that's the time to set up the discipline somebody talks about good health and you're stirred he says right i need to get a book on nutrition get the book before the idea passes and before the emotion gets
cold go for the book start the library start the process fall on the floor do some push-ups action got to take action [Music] otherwise the wisdom is wasted otherwise the emotion soon passes unless you put it into a disciplined activity capture it disciplines is called how to capture the emotion and how to capture the wisdom and translate it into equity disciplines now here's what's important about disciplines all disciplines affect each other in fact here's a good philosophical phrase everything affects everything else nothing stands alone don't be naive in saying well this doesn't matter i'm telling
you everything matters [Music] there are some things that matter more than others but there isn't anything that doesn't matter key to take home every letdown affects the rest of your performance every letdown affects the rest this is part of the educational process on personal development if you don't take the walk around the block you probably won't do the apple a day if you don't do the apple a day you probably won't consist you know start building your library if you don't build your library you probably won't keep a journal and you won't take pictures and
you won't do this you won't do wise things with your money won't do wise things with your time won't do wise things with your possibilities and relationships and the first thing you know six years of that accumulated and we say you have messed up so the whole key to reversing that process now is to start picking up these disciplines now here's the positive side every new discipline affects the rest of your disciplines every new one affects the rest that's why action is so important the least action the smallest action take it because when you start
accomplishing and the value starts to return from that one action it'll inspire you to do the next one and the next one and the next one you start walking around the block it'll inspire you to get an apple get an apple it'll inspire you to get a book get a book it'll inspire you to get a journal get a journal it'll inspire you to grow develop some skills all disciplines affect each other every lack affects the rest every new affects the rest the key is to diminish the lack and set up the new and you've
started a whole new life process also one more thought on discipline here's the greatest value of discipline self-worth self-esteem people are teaching self-esteem these days but they don't connect it to disciplines the least lack of discipline and it starts to erode our psyche one of the greatest temptations is to just ease up a little bit right the slightest lack of doing your best starts to erode the psyche instead of doing your best doing just a little less than your best sure enough you say well it's just going to affect my sales no it's going to
affect your consciousness it's going to affect your philosophy now you've begun in the slightest way to affect your own philosophy here's the problem with the least neglect neglect starts as an infection and if you don't take care of it it becomes a disease and one neglect leads to another and the worst of all when neglect starts it diminishes our self-worth our self-confidence our self-value you say well how can i get back my self-respect i'm telling you don't have to go to 29 classes all you have to do is start the smallest discipline that now corresponds
to your own philosophy like i should and i could and i will no longer will i let neglect stack up on me so that i will have the sorry scenario six years from now giving some excuse instead of celebrating my progress that's the key to discipline okay let's get kids involved in the least of disciplines one more and then one more and then another one and then another one and then some more and the first thing you know you're starting to weave the tapestry of a disciplined life into which you can pour more wisdom and
more attitude and more strong feeling more faith and more courage now you've got something a vessel in which to put it and now the equities start to flow and the early return i'm telling you if you'll start this process the early return will have you so excited you'll commit yourself to this strategy for the rest of your life you'll never go back to the old ways join a new crowd join a new group the disciplines to do it take action i recommended the last time i was here the little book richest man in babylon and
i said i've lectured now to over 3 million people in the last 33 years and i've recommended this little book to almost all of them i think guess how many have actually gone and got this little book answer very few my best guess is ten percent such an easy thing to do in that last seminar right i suggested this little book number one is easy to find number two it's easy to buy the most you can pay for it six seven eight dollars you can borrow that from your kids and number three it's easy to
read it's in story form that's why i use it for teenagers teaching them how to be rich by 40 35 if you're extra bright much sooner if you find a unique opportunity but if it's easy to find and easy to buy and if it's easy to read why wouldn't everybody go get it we don't know what do you know you don't know i don't know nobody knows here's how profound it is some do and some don't now here's the numbers about ten percent do ninety percent don't or won't we don't know the mystery of that
and i'm telling you ten years from now those numbers will still be the same 10 will 90 won't the numbers don't change only the faces change you're looking at one of the faces i used to belong to the 90 who couldn't be bothered even if it was easy [Music] you
