- Mary Kay Ash said,
"There are three types of people in this world.
Those who make things happen,
those who watch things happen
and those who wonder, what happened?"
I'm Terri Savelle Foy for you, cheerleader of your dreams
and I wanna share the secrets of making things happen
or secret of success in only eight words.
Now, before I get into it, would you help me out real quick?
I'm believing for 250,000 subscribers this year
on our YouTube channel.
So I just wanna ask you,
would you help me reach that goal?
Would you just push that little arrow below
and help us impact more people
with this message of discovering your dreams in God's word?
And I wanna say how much I truly appreciate you doing that.
So with the title of Success in Eight Words,
I also wanna mention something else with the number eight
and that's our special limited time offer
on my online vision board course.
Now this course normally sells for $97
and it's only $8 right now.
Now I'll tell you in a little bit how to access the course
so you can start your vision board today.
Sound good?
Okay, so these eight words, what are they?
Well, it starts with a story.
There's a story in the Bible
where Jesus and the disciples,
they walked up to this pool of Bethesda and there was,
that's where the sick people would lay
and they would wait for someone to put them in the water
so they could be healed like an angel.
Well, all of a sudden, the disciples said to Jesus
that there's a guy here who's been laying here for 38 years.
38 years.
So Jesus walked up to the guy and he asked him a question.
He said, "Do you want to be healed?"
Now, why would he ask an invalid who's been laying there,
do you wanna get healed?
Because he'd been laying there for 38 years.
Like nothing has changed in 38 years.
Jesus could have said, "Oh, bless your heart.
Man, you have been through so much.
Here, let me help you up."
But he didn't, you know what Jesus did.
He gave him three commands in eight words.
Number one, He said, "Get up."
Number two, He said, "Pick up your bed."
And number three, He said, "And walk.
Get up, pick up your bed and walk."
Now, lemme just break those three points apart real quick.
Number one, he said, "Get up."
Les Brown said, "If you fall down, try to land on your back
because as long as you can look up, you can get up."
Well, what does that mean?
It means nobody else can do this for you.
You have to pick yourself up.
You have to make the decision
to not wallow around another year,
feeling sorry for yourself,
complaining about the conditions,
waiting for somebody to pick you up
or you can get up and take responsibility for your life.
Now I'm not trying to be hard,
I'm just sharing with you what God had to teach me,
that nobody was going to come along
and tell me what to do in my life.
You have to take 100% responsibility.
You can't wait for everybody to come along
and cheer for you to go after your dreams.
Now, get up refers to a decision
and an attitude that you must be willing to make the effort.
Joyce Meyer said, "You can be pitiful
or you can be powerful but you're not gonna be both."
Well, they say the one thing
that separates winners from losers
more than anything else is winners take action.
They get up, right?
Number two, he said, "Pick up your bed."
Well, what does that mean?
Well, I say I take it as pick up the mess
you've been laying in physically and mentally.
Now, a mess could mean a lot of things.
A mess is just any disagreement
with the way you desire things to be
and the way they actually are.
So get things in order,
get them straightened out, put together.
When I began turning my life around,
one of the first words I ever heard the Lord say was,
"Clean up and clean out."
And you've probably heard me joke,
is that the voice of God or the voice of my mom?
I didn't know what the Lord meant but I took it literally.
I started cleaning my house, just one room,
one section, one day at a time.
And I'm telling you just that will do wonders
for your outlook on life.
And you might even say, Terry,
I don't even know where to start.
Start with one room.
Which one?
The one you spend the most time in.
It's better to have this one room peaceful and orderly
than to have every single room in the house
cluttered and chaotic.
Or you might say, I don't know how to start.
Start with the clutter that's visible to your eyes.
Don't begin by diving in the dresser drawers
and cleaning out the refrigerator.
No, when you see your progress,
it's gonna motivate you to finish, to keep going.
Or you might even say, I don't have time to start.
Here's my little tip,
set the alarm on your phone for 20 minutes
and just see how much you can accomplish in 20 minutes time.
You are going to be amazed at your progress.
And I like to say, 20 minutes may not sound like much
but over the course of a month,
it's 10 hours of getting things in order,
picking up the mess.
But that's not all I did.
I took a big old CD player with me and I pushed play.
And I started making myself listen
to faith-building messages while I was cleaning.
Why?
Because faith comes by hearing.
I thought I was just cleaning on the outside
but God started cleaning me on the inside.
And I never dreamed that these two things,
a CD player and a CD would be destiny decisions
that would alter my life forever.
I began to hear things like forgive,
that there's consequences to unforgiveness.
God, can't forgive you, as if isn't bad enough,
I heard that if you don't forgive,
your faith won't work or Satan gets an advantage over you.
So just hearing those things, it's some push and play
and I'm cleaning, picking up the mess in my life.
I chose to forgive every person who hurt me
and just let it go.
And God began to bless my life extravagantly.
In fact, hang onto this phrase,
"Forgiveness doesn't make them right,
it makes you free."
And number three, the third thing Jesus told him was "Walk."
Now, walking is a part of your body language.
Your feet, tell a story.
We actually walk a different way when we have vision.
See, here's the thing, a person with vision, a goal,
a plan for their lives, they actually walk faster.
Why?
'Cause they have a destination in mind.
Anyone who's walking is going somewhere.
Well see, when you have vision, you don't drag your feet,
shuffle, head down, arms crossed, just appearing lethargic.
No.
Remember this, we move towards what we consistently see.
So you've gotta see something to walk towards, right?
You gotta keep something in front of you
that reminds you of your dream,
of where you want your life to go.
You need a vision board.
Say you wanna travel, get photos of where you wanna go
and put it on your vision board.
Is there a certain university you want to attend?
Get a key chain and hang it on your vision board
and look at it every day.
You wanna get out of debt, get a picture of money
and put the amount that you are believing in God to pay off,
just showing that you are going to live a debt-free life.
So what are you looking at?
What are you looking towards?
What are you walking towards?
If you can't see your vision, you're not moving towards it
but whatever you're dreaming about, keep it in front of you.
So, I wanna help you get clear on your vision
and start walking towards it.
