Day 9 - LES BROWN - Self Commitment

Feb 27, 2020
good night

commitment

is shown in your life through action you can tell people who are committed and people who don't feel worthy people who are committed are busy doing it people who don't feel worthy of it like a guy who I spoke to last night who told me hey, I sure like doing what you're doing, however, I just don't want the responsibility of the company I work for taking good care of me, I mean, let me tell you something once I increase your sense of worth you won't even be able to open your mouth saying that someone is taking care of you you want to take care of your

self

but you see why he doesn't feel worthy he is smart 17 years in a large corporation they have spent thousands of dollars training him he knows he has the knowledge of the book but his attitude is his view of him

self

his sense of deserving it this says you can't have that so he makes all kinds of excuses about why he can't have it said Robert Anthony something Bob Anthony said you can only have two things in life reasons or results noticing reasons don't count I like that people always point out the reasons why they are not living their dream and why they are not manifesting their greatness they will I will always be able to point out those things but none of those things count the only thing that counts are the results and the results do not lie ladies and gentlemen they tell everything judge a tree by the fruits it bears not by what it could speak It is not about what it could wish, think or affirm, but the fruit that actually produces, so let's look.

I think we're all committed, but I think some of us are producing results in our lives at that level.

commitment

brings something that we particularly don't like or find unpleasant. I don't believe that as a participant in life you can't commit, you either commit to mediocrity or you commit to greatness, you either commit to being productive or you're committed to being non-productive, you're committed to being happy or you're committed to being unhappy. , look at what you are doing, how you spend your time, that tells you who you are, so think about what you like to create your life. experience once I look at how you commit your time once I do an assessment of how you spend your time I can tell you exactly what you're committed to people who say they have dreams they want to open a business or want to do something different than what they're doing now they don't like their job they are not happy they are dissatisfied people say they want to improve their income level look at how they spend their time how they spend their time the commitment of their time how they use it that will really tell the truth people who said I would like to do better but I don't you find in vocational or technical schools improving their skills and their knowledge how they spend their time that will tell you what is happening people who say they want to normalize their weight, they want to be healthy, but every time you see them eating, that will tell you that they are committed to be obese for the rest of their lives, people tell you they want to quit smoking and they are doing it. turning on at that moment concentrate on saying I want to stop drinking and every time you are in their face they stink of alcohol they will tell you what is going on you don't have to listen to what they say just watch what they do commitment shows up in your life in what What you do, on the other hand, you can commit to your life that you don't like the results you have and that you are going to do something about it, you see that power is available to everyone. of us people who look at life and decide I want something different for myself Carol Hatfield Carol lives in Detroit.

More Interesting Facts About,

day 9 les brown self commitment...

Single mother decided that she wanted to dedicate herself to her own business. She didn't have enough money to do it. She wanted to have a health food store. She sold her car and used the money to start a small shop, a small hole in the wall, she rode her bike to work and then when she got enough money, she bought a scooter and did it for a long time. . Now he is a very successful person now he has three health food stores he said it was hard like a struggle less he said but I did it he said I committed to do it and I did it why people are scared of commitment because when you say the word commitment it intimidates a lot of people people why because it means you have to comply look most people you ask hey look I wish you would do this they will say I'll try I'll try it means that's my escape clause when I don't comply it's really a polite note I don't have the courage to I'll tell you no, so I'll tell you I'll try Hey, look, yeah, I need you to come to this meeting, I'll try he said What do you mean you're going to lean into the meeting?
day 9   les brown   self commitment
You try to sit up, or you do, you don't try, and you take this pencil out of my hand, you do or you don't, there's no such thing as trying. people like to use that language, they don't want to commit because commitment means, among many things, no excuse is acceptable, that's what it means, there is no excuse, if you decided you want to do this if it gets difficult, then make it difficult if It's like that. Difficult, so what if it's so inconvenient? A lot of people made a commitment to come here tonight but they looked outside and said it's raining, the temperature dropped, it's cold outside and they decide to give up on their commitment and this is how people do with their dream that they don't keep their commitment to them, so let me tell you what happens when you don't keep your number one commitment, it starts to deplete your self esteem and erode your self image, it weakens your faith in yourself it doesn't feel good when you don't keep your commitments, the other thing is you start to develop relationships weak with people, people start to realize that they can't depend on you, they can't trust you because you won't.
day 9   les brown   self commitment
Don't keep your word, you've established that kind of reputation, just think about what your life would be like if you decided to keep your commitments. What would all of our lives be like if we decided to keep our commitments but decided to do the things we said we were going to do that we wouldn't even talk about it unless we were going to do it if we decided just for a week just see what your life can be like let's just do it for the commitment to make it a seven day commitment that I won't say I will do anything unless I do it and find out what your life will be like, let me tell you what happens if you keep it if you keep your commitment to the commitment at the end of the seven days you feel strong and powerful because by honoring your commitment every time you do it, you become stronger, whatever discipline is required, whatever you must do, I suggest that number one you commit to living in the present .
I saw the movie Um the Dead Port Society by Robin Williams and I had The Girl. Seize the moment. Many of us are not able to move forward, develop, and manifest our greatness because we spend so much time looking back or worrying about the future. Seize the moment. Look, you can't go to the future and manifest your greatness when you have several things in your life blocking you. Let's see how we can begin to keep our commitments by remembering what Dr. Robert Anthony said about results: When you keep your commitments, you can produce different types of results in your life, so how can we keep our commitments and fulfill all the commitments?
No, no, you won't be 100%, however. You will have a higher percentage of keeping your commitments to yourself, whatever those things are, whether it is starting a business, whether it is changing a habit that you know is working against you, whether it is overcoming self-destructive behavior, whether it's about retraining your way of thinking, whether it's reinventing yourself whether it's trying to start designing your relationship differently, we all have a chance by really focusing and harnessing our attention and by concentrating on it, we really have to our willingness the power to honor our commitments in those particular areas, so number one is to make It's priority, look, no one would get on a plane if they thought your chances of getting to your destination were as good as your luggage.
I'm right? I see and say the reason why you will reach your destination more times in your luggage. will is because the airline, and I'm glad they do this, has prioritized getting human beings from one point to another safely, not sending them to Boston or somewhere with their luggage, so I'm not too mad when my luggage doesn't show up. I'm glad they delivered because they made me a priority. Look, they've made surrendering to your destiny important, so if you want to honor your commitment, do whatever you decide to do. make sure it's important, make sure it's a priority, keep it in front of you, the other thing is whatever you want to do, whatever you want to start creating and start manifesting your greatness and strengthen your level of commitment, and it really is exercise your will. find something you want to do in your goal one action step but make sure it challenges you but is long lasting that you can do it this year I decided I was going to exercise so I started by doing just ten set ups and ten push ups I know I can do that and not get angry about it.
I can do it without thinking so I started small now I'm fifty but if I try to do fifty at first I wouldn't keep doing it So I started doing it in manageable segments do that and that strengthens your will so my commitment now It gets stronger and stronger with the activity of doing it, so now I can expand and build from there when I decided to start managing my money. differently and started saving 5% of my money, then increased it to 10% and then 15%, so now I have disciplined myself to live off 75% of my income. I took the discipline to do it, but I started watching how I spent my money. money I'm starting to keep track and track myself, so you want to start finding something that's manageable and that you know you can do next, and start keeping your commitments to yourself, have some friends to hold you accountable and not they do it.
I won't let you off the hook that won't tolerate anything less than your best. People who will support you in this new way of being in this new state of consciousness. The other thing is that the important thing is to have a contingency plan. I see many times when you commit to doing something. There are some other variables that will happen that you can't control or maybe didn't think about. So you want to have other plans in place. You want to be creative. Look, most people don't comply. their commitments because when something goes wrong they just stop they don't have a contingency plan so they don't know what to do next stop being creative if you challenge yourself a lot of chapters say I don't know what to do and I always ask myself but yeah If you knew what to do less, what would activate another part of my mind?
I'll stop thinking about the possibilities and just experiment, but many of us just stopped dead. I don't know what to do. You do not know what to do? You have genius in you. The challengers have pushed you. Invent something. Use your imagination and what you will find is that you know more than you realize. creative and more resourceful than you think you are and as you do it, the more you do it, the easier it will be. At first it will be a struggle and after reaching a certain level of consciousness you will wonder what it is like.
I didn't see this before at the level that I'm running my business now they say consciousness is who we are I literally look at myself and say how come I didn't do this before? because I could not? I didn't see this before and the reason I didn't see it before is because I didn't challenge myself. I didn't put myself here. I see the reason why most of us go through life without discovering our true greatness, literally walking around like breathing corpses. life without commitment is not worth living because because it does not produce anything then you only make things happen your life only counts you only make a difference when you are committed when you commit to your life those are the people who commit to their lives the people who commit to their clients the people who commit to their families with their relationships are the people who make the biggest impact on life what is commitment commitment like the salespeople who say look here I'm going to make a thousand dollars today and I won't I'll go home.
You can turn off the lights. The generators could be here running the vacuum cleaner. I'm not leaving here until I do. I used to be a door to door salesman. X number of televisions. I had a minimum amount that I knew I had to sell every day to be able to support my mother who was sick at the time and who had lost her job at M&M's because of arthritis and I said, I'm going to go door to door and Sometimes I didn't return home until one at night knocking on people's doors people closing what do you want?
Would you like to buy a nice television for a month of work with no down payment? How about an Emerson TV? No, thank you very much, do you know anyone else who might be interested? No, thanks. Kindly call someone else. Hello. Would you like to buy a good working TV? No down payment. Don't walk away from our door. Thank you. Very kind. Do you know anyone? Otherwise it would be yes, my cousin lives two doors down, thank you very kindly, I tell him you sent me. He came forward, your cousin told me you wanted to buy televisions and he told me to come here and talkwith you.
I got a special discount for you, yes, come on, I'm interested. I would move on. He wouldn't go home until he did. It's an interesting thing, ladies and gentlemen, that when we put ourselves in a situation where we say we're going to do it. it puts you in another zone where the universe responds to you when you have that type of consciousness look at the universe responds to the man a woman who refuses to be denied because that is your commitment that business that you want that book you want to write that dream that you have to control your destiny that is yours that power to create there and manifest that that is yours that is available to you but you have to be willing to stay there and face disappointment not having support being alone doubting yourself sometimes being rejected over and over again and again ruin yourself if necessary again and again and again and refuse to turn around until life gives up nothing can resist a person who has that kind of commitment, the people who have made a difference on the planet when a John F.
Kennedy said we will go to the moon and in the next decade he said it was a commitment and people shared that vision, people accepted that we have had all kinds of examples in history where people have made statements that have committed their lives to achieve it. One difference is that there are people who today are taking a stand against hunger. I guarantee it will be part of our past at some point someone took a stand against polio it doesn't affect us like it used to because someone said it's my commitment to eradicate it from the face of the earth someone made the commitment the reason we are here and enjoying the democracy that we have someone made the commitment that whatever is necessary if it means I die I remember Paul Robeson here I defend him, I can't do anything else and that's how you should be commitment means defending your life means honoring yourself yourself means to begin to speak and see and recognize your alignment and oneness with the universe and that you are a channel for life to express itself through and we short-circuited anger we short-circuited fear we short-circuited envy we short circuited by being lazy or apathetic or giving up easily why why what is always too difficult is too difficult we do not challenge our spirit ladies and gentlemen there is nothing as powerful as the human spirit that cannot be destroyed it can be perverted but not can be destroyed I was reading Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl what a powerful book I'm reading it now for the 7th time and he gives so many graphic examples of the power of the human spirit and what are some of the things that can strengthen us and give us the type of inner strength that will allow us to move towards the future manifesting our commitments.
A commitment means, in some cases, going back to school, training, sitting in classes with people younger than you, putting yourself in a position where you don't know it and that's strange and uncomfortable, but because of your commitment to develop yourself or to go. go back to school to get a high school diploma to get a college degree it doesn't matter feeling stupid and saying what am I doing here settling into some boring class commitment could mean a lot of things it could mean you start going back you have to go back sometimes it means backing off and not giving up regroup back down and regroup and come back again because life catches up with you because you got knocked down I know when, when I was working on my dream, there were times when I lost my house at one point I lost my car I was bankrupt my credit was bad I slept at different friends houses on their couch or on the floor there were times in the months I slept on the floor in my office and I would get up early and get dressed before my staff got there to give them the impression that I got there early before them. and we all pretended not to know what we knew the boss was staying in the office so we never talked about it but I refuse, I refuse to give up. my dream and what happened say that you know in the prosperous years you keep it in your pocket in the lean years you put it in your heart that makes me appreciate it even more I wouldn't change it I wouldn't change it for anything, the disappointment, the pain that I've been through staying committed, keeping the commitments you have, it can mean taking a position that is unpopular, something was said once, when you take a position, it says cowardice, ask if it's safe, politics asks. the question is popular, but awareness or commitment begs the question: is it right and I see that most people prefer to operate from the beginning?
Is it safe for me to take this position? I remember I was a state legislator. I saw men and then women who believed in very strong legislation, but because the Speaker of the House said we would not accept that, they backed down and felt bad about it, they did not accept the position because they did not want to talk about a house that would be angry with they. They wanted to be good with the rest of our colleagues. Look, it takes a lot of courage and commitment on your part to step out of a line you know.
Henry David Thoreau said that perhaps man does not keep up with his companions. he is listening to the beat of a different drummer, let him dance to the music he hears, even if it is measured and far away, when you are engaged, you dance to the beat of a different drummer, don't expect people to understand, you don't expect them to. It doesn't make sense to anyone why you have to do this why you have to leave why you're leaving this is a good job I'm going to get paid well I'm going to leave you just a few years away from retirement I'm going to leave why I don't understand what you don't have to do it I'm going for me because I've made a different kind of commitment to my life this is something I have to make commitment means taking a stand taking a stand for you means surrendering it means overcoming it what happens if you don't keep your commitment any less what happens If you give him everything you have and you fall short or if you don't give him everything you have what happens if you weaken along the way and he throws in the towel you give in to your emotions what what then many people get discouraged, frustrated and say Oh what the heck and they go back to doing what they were doing before saying it doesn't work this is what I suggest number one happens so take full responsibility for it just own it don't make any excuses and say why you gave in or why what didn't come out ahead, just take responsibility and face the criticism, whatever it is, rise up within yourself next. it's assessing the situation how you got here what happened you broke down you had a nervous breakdown and gave up what happened what was happening look when I was on a diet and I don't do that anymore I've made a commitment to a healthy lifestyle I used to eat until 12:00 midnight on Sundays anything that didn't move and on Monday I would get up and eat some fruit, have a light fruit breakfast and for lunchtime I would prepare some roast chicken. and meticulously peel the skin and eat the chicken and then eat the skin make five montages look in the mirror and get discouraged because my stomach doesn't look like a washboard or what are they doing Hayley dances and I say what's it for and then I go to the refrigerator and eat cold food sitting in the refrigerator, so when I evaluate where I broke down I realized that I can't have junk food in the house.
I had to remove it and then I realized there are certain streets I couldn't drive on. downstairs so I changed my route I stopped taking people to lunch or dinner because I couldn't sit there and watch them eat when I had to go somewhere to talk they were eating I said call me downstairs when it's time to talk because If I said in the table, looking at them, what foods are going to say my name and I know it, so I had to start making sure that I don't put myself in a position where I would give up on my commitment, do I make sense?
For you, I started strategizing to avoid situations where I knew it would weaken me. Another thing I do when I don't keep my commitment. I either deny myself something or make a trade-off if a glazed donut takes advantage. from me, then I force myself to do 25 extra setups or walk for 15 to 20 more minutes because they put a hammer on my head and say, come here, so you might have to deny yourself something or make a trade-off. do something to make up for it, the other thing is to start again, so what you fell on your face, then what to start again, learn from the experience and start again, don't give up on yourself, don't send them to a life of be miserable a lifetime of being broke, a lifetime of not being healthy, a lifetime in a relationship that no longer satisfies you, a lifetime of living and working at a job that doesn't bring you satisfaction, that doesn't give you the creative boost you need, and that's all. you have to have in your life that stimulates you do not send us your things like that you are a human being do not offer your life voluntarily in that way your life has to be valued for the universe you have something to contribute I have something to give and what happens if you make a commitment and you are not able to do it as proof that you are no good, since everyone else lives in the moment.
I like what this says, look at this day because it is life. the very life of life in its brief course lie all the realities and truths of existence the joy of growth the splendor of action the glory of power for yesterday is but a dream and tomorrow is but a vision but today well lived makes every yesterday a We dream of happiness and every morning a vision of home, we look closely, therefore, until today, let's see if we begin to enjoy the place where we are, if we make that kind of commitment to ensure that wherever we are let's experience the experience of life wherever we are to do everything we do. we can right now where we are forget about yesterday's mistakes we forget about all your yesterday's failures forget you forget what you don't have that's not important the only thing we have is right now right now and I say life is calling You must invoke that , optimists, who I think are one of the most positive groups in the world, have something called the Optimist Creed and I like that they say: Promise yourself.
I changed it to commit because I believe commitment has more power than promise. says to commit to being so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind talk about health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet make all your friends feel that there is something in them to look at the positive side of everything and make their optimism come true think only of the best work only for the best and expect only the best be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own forget the mistakes of the past and move forward towards greater achievements of the future to joyful continents at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile to dedicate so much time to improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others for being too big for worry too noble for anger too strong for fear and too happy to allow presence of problems committing to these things is not powerful what commitment to make with your life commit to pushing yourself to get out of your comfort zone and not worrying about what people think of you because you're thinking about it anyway don't worry about what people think about you.
They'll say, they're already saying it, so what do you care? Decide that your life has so much meaning for the planet. Decide that you have something to give. That's why you're here. two you just show up you brought something here you are a journey you have a destination mission to reach do implement perform perform experience decide to commit to being an adventurer in life look at life around you look inside yourself and say where Is it in my life that I need make a commitment right now? Where is? It could be for your health. It could be to be a happier person.
It could be to make a difference in your community. Could it be that Where is it? Let's say that commitment appears and the man or woman who has some idea, some dream that they have been nurturing within themselves and no one believed it, no one realized that they were not masters at it, they were not experts in it, no one would build a statue and never I would say their name and I would recognize them and they never made it to the front page of the paper, but they had something that was there, something that was their baby, something that they loved and believed in and they just did what they could with what God gave them with the dream commitment shows up and people who are willing to give themselves a chance who look at lives look inside themselves and say, I know, I know that this just can't be it for my life.
I know there's something I'm supposed to do I don't know right now maybe you know maybe you know and you've talked yourself out of it and I get it because I'm late oh no no not everything happens as it should. I had the courage to go out – to commit. Seriously, I wasn't serious before and I decided it took me a while to work up the courage to commit because it scared me, so I understand struggling with what I want. I can tell you I've been doing this for 20 years. I have not done it. I have not done it.
I'm just glad I decided to get engaged before I left here and wherever you are, decide you are. You are going to commit your life now and let it be reflected in your contribution, let it be reflected in what you have to share and whatever commitment you make, honor your commitment as yourself, honor your word as yourself, whatever you put into it, do it as you want. I thank you very much for your awareness. This is Mrs. Mamie Browns baby boyLeslie Calvin Brown I'm saying it's been a pleasure for plumsa pleasure as well as a privilege thanks to everyone here
