I would teach you how to think correctly
the largest gap between successful and
unsuccessful people in life is the
thinking gap I'm not talking about being
smart I'm not talking about an IQ I'm
talking about how you think how I think
successful people think differently than
unsuccessful people wise thinking leads
to right living stupid thinking lives
leads to wrong with you if you want to
have a fulfilled life you have to fill
your mind correctly
right now you need to focus on today
and what I realized so many leaders
don't understand is that truly today
matters and we overestimate what we
could do tomorrow we over exaggerate
what we did yesterday but we
underestimate what we can do right now
the only time you have the own time I
have is now so the question for all of
us is what am i doing
with now the great leaders they're
present in the moment and because of
that they maximize the moment so if
you're attempted to take that far away
glass will glass to get right back to
the present moment because today
you're preparing to make tomorrow a
success

well we all want to be motivated and yet
so many times we fail to find the secret
of motivation and so let me give it to
you quickly just do it motivation is not
the cause of action it's the byproduct
of action there's a lot of difference if
I think motivation is the cause of my
action that I'm going to wait to be
motivated before I do something but if I
realize it's the byproduct of my action
that I'll start doing something and then
guess what motivation will come up and
sappy and all of a sudden you feel good
and you're glad you're doing it you're
saying wow this is truly wonderful so
let it be the byproduct you like don't
let it be the foundation for the actions
that you take
nothing comes to you until you commit
yourself nothing comes to you if you're
just going to try but you're not
committed nothing comes to you if you're
just thinking about it it's not until
you take the action step it's not until
you take the direction do the things
start to flow through you
but I'm saying don't cheat yourself out
of the possibility of the potential
that's on the other side of commitment
stay with it long enough to find out if
there's any fruit in it you can do
goal-setting with a pencil but you have
to do go-getting with your legs you got
to take action and it's the action that
separates us the greatest gap in this
world is the gap between knowing and do
knowing is goal-setting doing and that
school achievement people that are
knowledgeable about habits say that it
takes 30 days for a habit to become a
half now habits can be good and habits
can be bad and so over a period of time
you can either be developing habits that
are going to help
habits that are going to hurt you people
that grow
develop habits that help the great value
of a good habit is you don't have to
think about the best way it's a habit in
other words once you began to over days
and times and periods begin to practice
something as good after a while it
becomes automatic to you it becomes who
you are in fact I always tale tell
people practice a good habit long enough
to make it yours and once it's yours now
it's automatic every day you'll do what
you should do often I have the
expression that everything worthwhile is
up to that's a fact you've never heard
someone talk about accidental
achievements you've never heard someone
that got to the top of the mountain and
somebody asked him how did you get there
kind of look confused to say I have no
idea
the reason they know how they got there
is because they had to walk all the way
up the mountain nobody left two dead
there were no shortcuts there's not an
elevator there's not an escalator it's
all effort to get you to the top of the
mountain what I want you to understand
is that inspiration does a lot better
when it's coupled with the perspiration
there are a whole lot of people they
want to be inspired in great things but
they don't want to do the hard work to
achieve those great things it's not
either/or it's both n so I really trust
today that you will just kind of roll up
your sleeves look at something you
haven't tackled for a while
dive in you'll be amazed that once after
you do the work you get inspired don't
wait to get inspired before you do the
work
