the easiest thing that I do every year is to live my dream the easiest thing I do every year is what I do in a day-to-day basis those are the easy things that I do let me share with you the most difficult thing that I've ever done in my life and that was to believe that I could do it to believe that I Les Brown who was born an abandoned building on a floor in a poor section of Miami Florida to believe that I Les Brown who was labeled educable ment it put back from the
fifth grade to the fourth grade to believe that I have the ability to live the life that I'm now living and I want you to think about your goals and dreams and I want you to expand them why because it has been said that most people fail in life not because they aim too high and M no most people fail in life because they're just like I was for 14 years they aim too low and hit there's probably a point in your life where you were given a script of who you were supposed to to
be whether it's your parents or your friends or your spouse and we live too often in our lives some other person's script right someone else's script and remember this you're the lead character in the story of your life and the person who controls that script is you and your God and at any point you can decide to step into a new chapter you can step into be a whole new leading character we want people then to get very clear on that vision of their future however they do it and begin to combine that clear intention
with an elevated emotion and the strong longer the emotion they feel from the vision they're creating the more altered they feel inside of them the more they're going to pay attention to the pictures in their mind and now they're remembering the future and biologically it's exactly the same as remembering your past in fact if you're not being defined by a vision in the future it means you're making your past more real than your future you're falling in love with your past you're more in love with your past than you are with your future that you're
believing in your past more than you're believing in your future when you get to to that moment where you have that feeling that's your compass because that feeling is going to drive your behaviors it's going to drive more of those thoughts and when you feel that feeling and it's visceral no person no thing no experience will stand in the way between you and that vision and and you will be initiated in by the universe into wealth you will be initiated into health believe it's possible for you to have it and if there's someone out there
that has done it or got what you want why the ain't it possible for you believe that you can and once you want something and believe that you can get it you got to block out all of the noise around you that's going to tell you you can't do it don't listen to all that just believe that you can the most important thing about believing in yourself is that you must identify who you are believe in yourself it's necessary as you look at your goals and your dreams it's necessary that you have a strategy and
a game plan to change the story that you believe about yourself and that's an ongoing process I've 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 be ye not conformed to this world be you transformed by the renewing of your mind instead of focusing on what's wrong with you start focusing on what's right with you you may have weaknesses you've made mistakes we all have but there's a lot more right with you than there is wrong
with you dwelling on the negative doesn't help you to do better beating yourself up for past mistakes doesn't move you forward the better you feel about yourself the better you'll do the more you like like yourself the further you'll go you can't give away what you don't have if you're in turmoil on the inside mad at yourself critical condemned that's what you have to give if you're hard on yourself you'll be hard on others if you don't forgive yourself you won't forgive others if you don't get along with you how can you get along with
your family the best thing you can do is start being for you when you love yourself then you can love others when you're kind to yourself then you can be kind to others it starts with you well Joel I have all these faults these weaknesses once I overcome once I learn to control my temper be more disciplined quit saying things that I shouldn't then I won't be down on myself if you're waiting to perform perfectly before you feel good about who you are you'll be waiting your whole life you have to accept your yourself while
you're in the process of changing it's this idea of taking your life in your own hands and being the kind of person that you choose to be and understanding that everything that comes your way is an opportunity the law of expectation says that your expectations tend to become your own self-fulfilling prophecies in other words what you expect to happen usually does and if your expectations are based on false information so you have false expectations that's what will happen anyway for instance your expectations could be that you are destined to have an extraordinary life and be
extremely successful is that no matter what happens it's all part of a learning process that is leading you inevitably to great success happiness and accomplishment and if you absolutely expect that to be true if that's your fundamental belief then over time that will become true you'll be able to throw off the ups and downs of life you'll be able to ignore the negative influences around you if you confidently expect to be a great success then by gum you sure will be no matter what people tell you you just say well it'll be all right everything
will work out fine and we know that an attitude of confident expectation is a Hallmark of Highly Successful People they just expect to succeed more than they fail they expect to be liked by others more often than their dislike they expect to learn from every difficulty that they have they expect to keep making progress they just Confidant expect and surprise surprise your expectations affect your realities how what you experience on the outside is determined by how you think on the inside as they say you are not what you think you are but what you think
