You must know inside in the deepest part of your being,
that you matter.
Not just that you matter
but also why?
So for me, the foundational base
of empowerment,
of entrepreneurship,
of any kind of engagement,
the foundational base of my success,
of my wellbeing,
my wholeness,
my everything
is knowing
WHO I AM.
I visualized that all
and it's all happening.
If you have a clear picture in your head of something
it's gonna happen.
A clear belief in that,
it will happen no matter what.
Although there are lots of things going on around the world
but there's lots of opportunity.
You know, there's lots of opportunity
to adapt,
to evolve into something else.
All business sectors and all areas are
For me I am an optimist
It is destined to happen
and that what's happens,
it's perfect.
Here's what I'd like you to say to yourself at night
"I know that I am pure spirit,
that I always have been,
and that I always will be.
There is inside me
a place of confidence and quietness
and security
where all things are known and understood.
This is the universal mind.
This universal mind knows the answer
to all of my problems
and even now
the answers are speeding their way to me.
It's necessary
that you go for what is yours in the universe.
I deserve more than this.
See, that will stop making you do some stuff.
You must have faith
One day
all these early mornings and late nights
will pay off
One day
everything you have been working toward will be worth it.
Success does not come to those who wait.
Success comes to those who go out and get it.
Nelson Mandela said,
There is no passion to be found
playing small
in settling for a life that is less
than the one you are capable of living.
You will fail at some point in your life.
Accept it.
You will lose.
You will embarrass yourself.
You will suck at something.
There's no doubt about it.
Fail
big.
But here's the thing.
I didn't quit.
Why would you walk in the opposite direction of your dreams?
The man dreams of wealth and walks daily
towards certain financial disaster.
The man wishes for happiness
and thinks the thoughts and commits the acts
that take him to certain despair.
So to have a prosperous life start a prosperity plan
to become wealthy, start a wealth plan.
Remember, you don't have to be wealthy
to have a wealth plan.
A person with no means can have a rich plan.
If you are ill start a health plan.
If you don't have energy, start an energy plan.
If you don't feel good, start a feel good plan.
If you're not smart, start a smart plan.
If you can't, start a can plan.
If you haven't, start a have plan.
Anyone can,
even a bad person can start hearing good messages
and reading good books.
Recognize that the start of the better life,
the happy life, the wealthy.
Is today.
This is exciting.
Both the process and the result can begin today.
Start the new journey today.
If you think of a new idea,
today is the day to begin the discipline
of putting that idea into action.
Set this day up as a long, busy,
exciting start for your new life.
Get your first book for your new library today.
Begin your new practice of setting goals today
Start clearing out a drawer of your new orderly desk today.
Start eating an apple a day on your new health plan today.
Put some money in your new investment for Fortune account
today.
Start reading with intensity
for your new wealth of mind plan today
Write a postponed letter today.
Make a delayed telephone call today.
Pick up your camera and take a picture
of something to start
your new treasury of photograph today
get some momentum going
on your new commitment to the better life.
See how many activities you can pile on in this first day.
Go all out.
Break away from the negative downward pull of gravity.
Start the thrusters going.
Prove to yourself that waiting is over,
hoping is past,
and that faith and action have now taken charge.
It's a new day, a new beginning for your new life
with Discipline
You can't believe the list of positive moves you can make
in the first day of your new beginning.
What have you got to lose?
Only the despair and fear and guilt of the past
Only the dissatisfaction and unhappiness
and lack of fulfillment of the past,
only the frustration
and low self-esteem of the past.
Becoming an expert in your field,
continually upgrading your skills,
If you stop exercising for any period of time,
you don't maintain your fitness at the same level.
You begin to decline
your body and your muscles become softer and weaker.
You lose your strength, flexibility, and stamina.
In order to maintain them,
you must keep working at them every day, every weekend,
every month
become all you can be.
There's an even more important reason
for you to practice the self-discipline
that leads onward and upward to the great successes
that are possible for you.
The practice of self-discipline enables you to
change your character
to become a stronger and better person.
The exercise of self-discipline
has a powerful effect on your mind and emotions
developing you into a different person
from the one that you would've been
without self-discipline.
Imagine yourself in a chemistry lab.
You mix a series of chemicals in a Petri dish
and put it over a buds and burner
The buds and burner heats the chemicals
to the point at which they
crystallize and become hardened.
But once you crystallize these chemicals using intense heat,
they cannot be transformed back into liquid form
In the same way your personality begins like a liquid,
soft, fluid, and formless.
But as you apply the heat of self-discipline,
as you exert yourself
to do what is hard and necessary
Rather than what is fun and easy
your personality crystallizes and
hardens at a higher level as well.
The greatest benefit you enjoy
from exerting self-discipline in the pursuit of your goals
is that you become a different person.
You become stronger and more resolute.
You develop greater self-control and determination.
You actually shape and strengthen your personality
and transform yourself into a better.
The rule is that
t to become someone that you have never been before,
you must do something that you have never done before.
This means that to develop a superior character,
you must exert ever
higher levels of self-discipline
and self mastery on yourself.
You must do the things that average people don't like to do.
Another success principle is that
to achieve something that you've never achieved before,
you must learn and practice qualities and skills
that you've never had before.
By practicing self-discipline, you become a new person.
You become better, stronger, and more clearly defined.
You develop higher levels of self-esteem,
self-respect, and personal pride.
You move yourself up the ladder of human evolution
and become a person of higher character and resolve
Success is its own reward
The wonderful thing about the achievement of success
is that every step in that
direction is rewarding in itself.
Each step you take
toward becoming a better person
and accomplishing more than you ever have before,
makes you feel happier, more confident, and more fulfilled.
You've heard it said that nothing succeeds like success.
What this means is that the greatest reward of success
is not the money you make,
but rather the excellent person you become
in the process of striving towards success
and exerting self-discipline every time it's required.
