what force has the greatest influence on us it is the freedom to choose
what changes our whole life is action why don't we take action fear what are we going to do to
get ourselves to do it we got to make sure that we push ourselves through it by making a decision
the point in which change happens is the decision decide
decision making is emotional those knots in the pit of your stomach waking up in the middle of
the night lying there in a cold sweat trying to decide we sometimes call it inner Civil War
conflict Battle of the Mind heart and soul it's emotional it's powerful and critical
it sets the course or blinds the course it sets the mind or leaves us helpless drifting not being
able to make up our minds well for Progress we must decide come to grips with the surges the
tides the conflicts the best advice I can give you is if it's easy do it easy if it's hard do
it hard just get it done see a real decision is not like a preference it's not like we say
I'll try and see that's not a decision decision comes from Latin means like incision to cut off
from decision is when you cut off any possibility accepting your committed it's like that is it all
change happens with a choice you want to change your body change it by making a decision I know
it sounds overly simplistic I know it's a hundred times harder than that but that's where it happens
there must be discipline discipline calls for strength and fortitude and will
it won't accept weakness it won't tolerate a breakdown it will it will put you on the
path to strength and health and intelligence and happiness and freedom within minutes if you decide
upon something you know that's what you want you know you're going to do it all of these negatives
that have been bothering you they pick up their baggage and get out they can't live in a positive
mind you have to move with courage with faith with determination here's the time to ask when
the ideas pop and the emotion is strong before the feeling passes and before the idea gets dim Pronto
action the median action as soon as possible set up a discipline when the emotions are high and
the idea is strong and clear and Powerful that's the time to set up this action got to take action
otherwise the wisdom is wasted otherwise the emotion scene passes unless you put it into a
disciplined activity capture where are the Warriors that say I'm gonna make a decision
and I'm keeping it go deep into all these things that you love 100 devote yourself to something
bigger be decisive about what you're gonna do say I'm gonna do it and that's it and then be
disciplined about getting it done every single day whether you feel like it or not [Music] foreign
beat back those fears I've got four big ideas for you and you're gonna love them
number one and you're gonna hate this one I'll make sure you like the rest number one
stop thinking the reason you are not getting ahead has anything whatsoever to do with fear
fear gets too much play in our lives we're always going to it we're always blaming it oh it's fear
fear held me back well I'm worried about this so I stop and you know what it is it's a grand
lie that's been perpetuated by Society it's a huge lie because look fear real fear is physical
fear especially is there's an external threat that's imminent and it's in your face that's
fear everything else is a self-contrived story that we tell ourselves and we need to realize
that most fear is just bad management of our minds but we allow ourselves to Loop it what
happens if you don't know it psychologically what's happening fear is really just saying what
if followed by a negative statement what if she rejects what if they don't give me the promotion
I ask what if I fail what if they make fun of me what if I lose everything I work so hard for
what if followed by negative statement I have a question for you though what if you started
focusing more in your life on the what ifs followed by a positive statement what if she
says yes what if I get what I finally deserve what if I can grow this business what if I can
accomplish that what if I believed in myself again and you started stewing on the positive as much as
you stood on that old negative it would change your story it would change how you feel about
yourself fear is usually not the thing holding people back what's usually holding them back
is the connection with something more important than fear reset again fear is not usually what's
holding people back what's holding it back is a lack of connection with something that's bigger
than fear stop blaming the fear my friend you know that you have an image of yourself inside
when you stand in front of a mirror you see a reflection of the physical you
know that's not the real you have a picture of yourself in your mind
General Dr Maxwell maltz wrote a book back around 1960 it was called self-image psychology
psycho cybernetics it's a phenomenal book he said it was the greatest discovery of his generation
he was a cosmetic or reconstructive surgeon and he found he would do work on people he might have
been a nose job or removed a terrible scar and he noticed that when he did that there
was a phenomenal change in their personality but he noticed with others he would make a
phenomenal physical change and there was no change in their personality and that led him
to postulate that we have two images we have the one that's coming back from the mirror
but we've got an inner image and that inner self-image is literally controlling our life
you will find people that have a very poor self-image or low self-esteem they won't
look you straight in the eye they're afraid to shake hands with you they're very shy and
withdrawn they go through life hiding from light they don't like themselves
they don't know themselves do you know when a person improves their self-image they change their
entire life their income change their relationship change their health changes and you know how you
do that start studying you start to find out more about you there's something phenomenal about you
you know when I began to study this material 57 years ago I had very poor self damage I had low
self-esteem I took dumb jobs I never earned any money I never had fun I had poor relationships
and as I started to study started to study real solid information everything in my life started
to improve I've Got Friends all over the world today I earn millions of dollars I'm in my 80s
and I get as much energy as a person in their 30s you see when you start to understand really
who you are you're God's highest form of creation there's things about you that just about blow your
mind as you start to study and really understand them you'll walk a little taller you'll stand a
little straighter and you know something you'll enjoy a whole lot more of life please [Music]
