Is there any excuse for an adult
not to get a A outta life?
So when you go to work,
is there any excuse for you not to be an A manager?
Is there any excuse for your store
not to be an A store?
Is there any excuse for you to go home
and not to be an A husband?
Is there any excuse
for you not to be a A wife or a mom or a dad?
Is there any excuse?
For people who think negative thoughts
it turns into negative things.
And the direct opposite is true
for those who think positive thoughts
it turns into positive things.
That's the deal.
It's as simple as that, folks.
Please realize that every complaint
is an affirmation of something
you think you don't want in your life.
Every time you get angry, you are affirming
that you want more anger in your life.
Every time you feel like a victim,
you are affirming
that you wanna continue to feel like a victim.
If you feel that life does not give you what you want
in your world.
Then it is certain
you will never have the goodies that life gives to others
until you change the way you think and talk.
You need to change your mind.
You need to change the way you think,
the way you look at the world, the way you look at problems.
You've gotta change what you believe is possible
without the correct mindset and belief about
what you are capable of or what you'll have.
You'll have no chance of following through
on any of your New Year's resolutions.
This year will be the same as last year.
If you don't change your mind.
This will be your year.
Don't let what's happened to you up until this point
define what happens from this point on.
All it that you've been through in life,
all the pain, all the darkness.
So I'm telling you, your experience
of what is happening with you right now
is 100% determined by you.
Human experience happens from within,
not from outside.
Outside influences are there.
How far we allow them to affect us,
unless they're physical situations.
You are in a war zone,
somebody's shooting at you.
That's a different matter.
Alright.
So the privilege of being human being
is this, that we have an intelligence to determine
what should be our experience of life.
There are miracles happening all around you.
There is beauty all around you.
Open your eyes and look.
Can you see the sun shining?
Great.
Can you hear the birds chirping?
Great.
Can you feel the warmth of the sun on your skin?
Awesome.
There's simple beauties all around.
If you wanna start to feel happy,
it starts with you wanting to feel happy.
I believe there is a power within each of us
that can lovingly direct us to our perfect health,
perfect relationships, perfect careers.
And which can bring us prosperity of every kind.
In order to have these things,
we have to believe first that they are possible.
Next, we must be willing to release the patterns
in our lives
that are creating conditions we say we do not want.
We do this by going within
and tapping the inner power
that already knows what is best for us.
You ever notice that some people seem to want
to hang on to stuff that is bothering them
They're forever talking about it.
They don't want to let it go.
They've had a failure
at something in his drone.
I can't get over it.
They just can't get over it.
Or somebody said something nasty to them.
They don't wanna let it go.
Do you know what we should do?
We should ask ourself everything that happens, is this serving me?
Is this serving me?
And if it's not serving you, get rid of it
You don't want anything in your life that's not serving you,
that's not causing you to grow,
that's not adding to the quality of your life.
I don't care what it is.
You'll sign some people, they just hold on to bad stuff.
They hold on to problems.
They don't wanna seem to let it go.
And that adds more problems.
Whatever you focus on grows.
The only thing that can grow is
the thing you give energy to.
Why would you hold onto
anything that's not serving you?
Now, I want you to think about this.
I'm not gonna talk about a lot about this today
because I don't think I have to.
I just wanna let you know that if you're
holding onto something that does not serve you
you are making a terrible error.
It's gonna cause all kinds of problems.
You may blame other people or other things.
You may blame the situation,
it's you are the cause of the problem.
The man that told me to pick up this book
and read it, Ray Stanford, he had a saying.
He used to say to me, Bob, you're the only problem
you'll ever have and you're the only solution.
I think it might've taken me five
years to understand that,
but I do understand it and you know something
I am the only problem I'll ever have, and I am the only solution.
Don't hold on to anything that is not serving you.
Reject it.
Do you know the beautiful part about
having an inductive reasoning factor?
That's the part that chooses thoughts.
You can accept or reject
the beautiful part of your mind.
You can accept or reject anything that comes into your world
except to reject it.
It's a choice.
Don't hold on anything that is not serving you
