one test that we all have to pass is being faithful with the mundane and when you're
faithful in the routine something is happening that you can't see [Music]
hey I'm Terri Savelle Foy your cheerleader of dreams I want to talk to you today about one
habit just one that will completely change your world now this is something I learned years ago
when I've been practicing it for so long that it just comes natural to me now and I apply it
to everything every day now let me just see if you can recognize it in these stories you know I read
where actor Dustin Hoffman Gene Hackman and Robert Duvall they described what it was like for them
in the early days of their careers when they were just struggling well Dustin Hoffman said that they
were anything but successful actors and he said he was a waiter Gene Hackman worked at a moving
company and Robert Duvall worked at the post office he said it was a time of terrible rejection
and we hated being rejected he said it got to the point that they used to leave their eight by tens
at the door of casting agents knock and run just so they wouldn't have to be rejected face to face
well Dustin Hoffman said it was so discouraging that he seriously considered quitting and becoming
a teacher but he didn't he did what most wouldn't do he kept paying the price going to acting
lessons go into auditions work in late hours so he could go to auditions during the day and
today as an academy award-winning actor he's able to enjoy the fruit of all that labor right okay
here's another story I read where Ryan Reynolds presented an idea to bring a comic strip to the
big screen to movie directors well he got turned down over and over and over and he kept going
for the big dream get this 47 rejections from people in his industry who know what sells and
what doesn't 11 years of still trying and you know after like eight rejections 17 32 I would start
thinking okay I get the message God I'll move on right no Ryan Reynolds did what most wouldn't do
he just kept going for it he kept paying the price being rejected and today he's enjoying
the fruit of that labor in fact that script for Deadpool which grossed 782 million dollars I
I'd wear oh you shouldn't have seen that picture I wanted to surprise you did you
see it I hope not okay listen to this I read where a Mexican actress who spoke
very little English she decided to move to LA to pursue a dream of making it in Hollywood
she was already diagnosed with dyslexia plus she spoke very little English well when she got here
she was told Mexican actresses will not ever make it in Hollywood you were born in the wrong country
they even said this we can't take a risk of you opening your mouth and people thinking of their
Maids can you believe this the role she did get she was told to sound dumber and to speak faster
everyone said you're out of your league go back to Mexico you have no future here they said your
name is terrible you'll never make it with that name you know what she said we'll see about that
and she just kept going for auditions working on her English taking acting classes building her
self-esteem and today she's the stunning household name actress Salma Hayek listen to what she said
be so focused on your own self-development that you fail to notice the negativity of those around
you so here's the Habit that every one of those successful actors practice and it's the one that
will change your world pay now play later pay now play later in other words pay the price that you

later principle I wanted to ask you if you would do a favor for me would you take one second and
subscribe to this channel that means so much to me and it's something I never take for granted
so thank you for cheering me on to keep putting these videos together for you okay John Maxwell
wrote a book that changed my life and it's in your download but he said he almost didn't turn in the
manuscript because it's so simple he said I didn't want to insult people with this well he sold over
a million copies and it's all about valuing today but success is not a destination it's a journey he
said if you go to college graduation day comes and everyone is so excited for you the president hand
you the diploma they're taking pictures people are saying you're successful today he said no
you didn't become a success the day you got the degree the diploma what you did was get recognized
for Success he said the diploma is recognition of what you've done the previous four years
he said you were a success freshman year when you decided not to drop out like most of your friends
you were a success when you decided to study for exams turn in the projects go to class he
said your success every day that you make right choices success is a daily thing you pay now so
you can play later Maxwell says the secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda
so what do you want to be tomorrow because you guys start doing it today see you visualize
tomorrow but you value today what does that mean well have you ever heard the quote people don't
decide their future people decide their habits and their habits decide their future it's kind
of like the telescope plus the microscope see you need a big vision for your life but you also need
to see the importance of what you're doing today each day is what's preparing you for the Big Goal
so it's the telescope plus the microscope you need both the telescope sees the big picture
but the microscope sees the day-to-day activities to get you there you know I love what Joel Osteen
said he said one test that we all have to pass is being faithful with the mundane and
when you're faithful in the routine something is happening that you can't see your character
is being developed he said the routines of Life are not exciting but they're necessary
and you won't become all you were created to be without being your best when it's mundane
I love this Joel said when you're faithful in average days then you'll see exceptional days
see God said it like this if you're faithful in the little things he'll make your ruler over many
things so everything in your mundane life now is preparation for a magnificent life next pay
now play later right you know I stumbled across a therapist on YouTube Marissa Pierre and she gave
some tips of the most successful people in the world and she shared these two things real quick
she said successful people do what they don't want to do to get to where they want to be she said
Olympic athletes they get up at 4am chip the ice off their car train in the snow they don't love it
but they love the idea of winning a gold medal you know people say I would never do that Marissa said
but you're missing the point these people do what they don't want to do to get to where they want to
be you know that's why I wrote a whole book called the five things successful people do before 8 A.M
because it's all about getting the tough stuff done first first thing in the morning so you
feel incredible the rest of the day you literally pay now play later in fact Marissa said her second
key to success was you must do what you don't want to do first gotta make a difficult call I'm gonna
do it first I hate going to the gym I'm gonna do it first I know I need to read more I'm going to
do it first well when you do what you don't want to do first you just feel like a winner all day
long right she told a story about a client famous celebrity that she worked with who was massively
overweight and she told him you've got to work out he said I'm too big to work out she said you
can walk around your neighborhood he said I'm too famous I can't walk around Beverly Hills so
Marissa said okay do it in the middle of the night well at 4am he would get his shoes on and go for a
walk and he did it day after day she said he never said oh I love this this is so amazing no he said
I'm gonna do what I hate to do and I'm going to do it first well he lost 200 pounds pay now play
later right so let me just remind you others are going to try to get you off course try to get you
to play now pay later in fact my husband says his philosophy is play now and play later let me tell
you this quick story last one there was a guy who bought a Mickey Mantle rookie card in 1998 for a
hundred and four thousand dollars people thought he was crazy he lost his mind but he kept it for
23 years guess what it was worth 18 million dollars pay now play later right so that's
good and said if you wait until you have success to get committed you'll have neither well God is
the one who said you've been faithful with a few things I'll put you in charge of many things so
I hope this encouraged you I want you to be sure and get the list of my four favorite books to help
you develop discipline this year so click the link in the description choose whichever one you want
to start with I recommend all of them and I'll be cheering you on to what you're doing [Music]
