so last month there was a letter sitting on my desk written from a man named uh Den Slattery
it's kind of a different name din like a den family room um and he shared this amazing true
story and this is what it says I'm just going to read straight from his letter it was a story
about this man that says one cold winter morning A man was walking down the street in Cleveland Ohio
the wind was blowing and it was snowing lightly as he walked in he came to a or as he walked he
came to a pawn shop and he saw something in the window that caught his attention as he looked at
the object he said to himself that's the answer to all of my problems as he thought about his
life he realized he had lost everything because of his drinking his job his house his wife his only
daughter the only thing he had left was his car which he was sleeping in other than that it was
just another drunken bum on the street he said but that object in the window could change everything
as he stared at it he can he could see himself with a bottle in one hand and that gun in his
other hand he could put it to his head and pull the trigger and all of his problems would be gone
no one would care life would go on without missing a Beat just at that moment the wind picked up and
he felt a shiver he wanted to get out of the cold but the pawn shop was closed so he walked
down the street and he found a library that was open he went in and sat at a table as he warmed
up he decided to just get something to read his mom had given him a love for books and so he was
looking for a book and he found one on success he sat down and started reading the book the book
that really caught his attention was written by W Clement Stone and it was called Success Through a
positive mental attitude he read the whole book and then read it again and again and again he
saw that book as a gift from God now this man the man in this true story his name was OG mandino he
went from wanting to kill himself to working for Debbie Clement Stone and then becoming one of the
Pioneers in personal development selling over 50 million books worldwide isn't that amazing
here's what I want you to know your input shapes your outlook and your outlook shapes your life
what are you filling your mind with what do you feel in your ears with what are you absorbing on
a daily basis you know when John Maxwell was asked what's the number one predictor that
you will be successful without hesitating he said be intentional about your personal growth
so how do you get motivated in 30 seconds then well true story this is from me personally
I'll never forget one morning in 2004 when I was still in the early stages of you know developing
success habits that I teach now I woke up so discouraged for whatever reason my mind was just
focused more on the bad memories of my past than the dreams for my future and I went through my
daily routine I drove to work walked in my office still not fully encouraged and as I was sitting
at my desk just kind of going through the motions my co-worker walked in and asked if I wanted to
view the new opening segment for the TV broadcast we were launching and since I was over the media
Department keep in mind I wasn't doing what I'm doing today I was running someone else's media
Department well it was part of my job to approve or disapprove program changes so I walked into the
editing room and he pushed play and this is what I heard shouting across the screen through the
speakers don't you ever say again you can't take anymore you can take anything the enemy dishes out
you are a child of the most high God you're not a victim you're a Victor the blood of Jesus flows
through your veins you're a champion Hallelujah it was my dad in Minister Jerry Savelle do you know
that in less than 30 seconds my mindset changed just listening to that powerful high energy video
clip of extreme motivation I left the editing room with a completely different outlook on my life I
was able to get control of my mood my emotions my negative thinking and shift my thoughts in
a positive direction in less than one minute that's the power of listening and retraining
your mind by hearing God's word see whatever isn't feeding you is depleting you so you have
to be proactive and feed on positive information that builds your faith whatever you're feeling
most compelled to study right now that's where you need to focus your time your money your resources
and attention to learning you know where do you need to spend the most time gaining knowledge
whatever it is become a serious student in that area you know that's part of why I'm having to
live your dreams virtual event on a variety of topics because there's going to be at least one
that you say that's what God's been dealing with me about it could be finances and you know God
is saying don't put off getting out of debt one more year get serious or it could be your
health and fitness and you just need wisdom and encouragement from God's word set yourself up to
succeed by enrolling in this life-changing event that I mentioned earlier that's absolutely free
in fact set a reminder an alarm on your phone and make a decision to get serious to get a notebook
a pen and remove distractions because this is your time to invest in yourself you know the Bible says
study to show yourself approved UCLA basketball coach John Wooden he said if I'm through learning
I'm through you know there's an inspiring story I want to share this real quick in the Bible about
Joseph who had an incredible dream a remarkable life he saved an entire nation he set up a legacy
for his family but the short version is this as a young man around 17 years old he had a
dream and he told his dream to his brothers well they got extremely jealous they threw him into a
pit and sold them into slavery 13 long years go by without seeing his brothers or his brothers seeing
him until one day Joseph's family didn't have any food and they heard there was plenty of food in
Egypt so they decided to Humble themselves and go ask for food now my friend Joel Sims pointed
the scripture out in such a way that I had to share it with you after 13 years the scripture
says Joseph recognized his brothers although his brothers didn't recognize him think about
that more than a decade goes by Joseph looks at his brothers and instantly recognizes one by one
who they are I mean he's looking at him going that's him that's him the Tim the Tim how can
that be you know why because they were exactly the same the brothers are looking right into Joseph's
eyes and none of them identify him as their own blood why because he changed he grew he matured
Joseph was not the same kid they threw in the pit that day but nothing about the brothers had
changed here's my point in life you can be like Joseph or you can be like his brothers and the
only way to do what God has called you to do is if you grow never cease your quest for knowledge
in fact over the next 12 months you should become unrecognizable to everyone around you get started
