Start Following Your Heart And Take Action | Les Brown | Motivation | Let's Become Successful

Why don't most people pursue their dreams or do better than what they are doing if they are capable of it? I think many of us don't

take

the next step because we don't yet know what to do and I say the reason we don't even explore the possibility of what to do is because subconsciously we don't believe it can happen to us and we don't believe we deserve it. This is what I am suggesting How much time do you spend working on

your

self How much time do you spend each day working on

your

dream In the last 90 days How many books have you read and in the last year What new skills or knowledge have you acquired What type of investment have you done in you?

So I'm saying that as you

start

to look at where you want to go if you want to achieve it today and things are changing so fast that you literally have to stay still. saying that you have to make a conscious effort to

start

working to develop yourself here's something else most people don't live their dreams because of fear ladies and gentlemen, yesterday I was in Columbus, Ohio, speaking on behalf of a young woman from the department from Ohio in particular named Karen. who greeted me who organized the event very talented very skilled and she was talking about wanting to get into the consulting business I said why don't you do it I told her you have the skills I said you're not here because they like it You're here because you're doing the work, you're making things happen and she came up with all kinds of ideas, but finally she said I guess I can't see myself doing it I guess I'm afraid limited vision and lack of self-esteem is what keeps most people people doing things they don't want to do.

I was flown from columbus ohio to denver colorado to a major communications company and the person who picked me up at the airport told me about the fact that the company is planning a major downsizing and they offered some of their employees early retirement and some of they will win up to 300,000 and they said this is the last time they can accept this offer if they don't. When we have the downsizing, you could be among those who will lose their jobs and the only thing you will receive is your severance pay and only 50 of the people who were entitled to receive the 300,000 accepted it, the others were afraid to

take

the risk. themselves others couldn't see themselves beyond that company they couldn't see life after that company the same reason people stay in relationships where they are abused or unhappy or unsatisfying they can't see themselves beyond that relationship they can't see themselves enjoying life without that person they think this is all they can do the same reason people get stuck at a certain level in life they can't see things being better for them and they think that this is that and this is all they deserve this is all they have seen has been passed down to them and they think this is it for them oh no I was looking at what dr. blanton smiley blanton, who is a colleague of dr. norman vincent peale, what did he say about fear he said that fear is the most subtle and destructive of all human illnesses ladies and gentlemen fear kills dreams fear kills hope fear puts people in the hospital fear can help them fear ladies and gentlemen can stop you from doing something that you know inside of you that you are capable of doing but it will paralyze you and it seemed like you were in a hypnotic spell and I ask you a question what is the benefit what is the benefit of allowing fear to stop you what is the benefit of giving Focus on yourself on not leaving life and taking life based on what is the benefit for you.

What is the advantage? It's one of the things I had to ask myself, so I didn't want to make any mistakes. I wanted everyone to like me. I wanted to be perfect the first time I did something, that's not going to happen, you're going to make some mistakes, you're going to hurt some people's feelings, you're going to make some enemies every time you decide you want to start. take life you have to ask yourself how long am I going to let this stop me I like what he says zig ziglar said that fear is false evidence that seems real it is an illusion that we create in our mind it is a state of mind that can be changed so Let's see how we can start taking some steps to restructure that fear, start expanding our view of ourselves, start increasing our self-esteem, the website says that self-esteem means confidence and self-satisf

action

.

Look at your life right now. Anything you've done up to this point. Your life is working. Whatever you have produced came out of you as a result of the type of person you have

become

as a result of your choices. As a result of your awareness you now have to ask yourself if you are satisfied with what you have produced is this what you want would you like things to be better than this do you think you deserve better than this are you happy? you don't have to do everything else, you've already resigned yourself in life, you say, well, I'm happy, are you letting yourself get out of trouble that way or do you believe somewhere in the back of your mind or in your

heart

that there is another great job you can do there is something else that life has for you and that is why you are here how we handle this fear factor how we increase our self-esteem you have to start strengthening yourself how do we do that?

I think you have to start consciously monitoring your self-talk and start talking to yourself. Start getting stronger. Sometimes the only good things you'll hear about yourself are the things you tell yourself, so I say learn. be your own booster start empowering you start encouraging yourself start saying I can do this I can make this happen when I started thinking about becoming a speaker I said yes I can do this I can make this happen when I start trying to convince myself I can be a businessman after failing and losing thousands of dollars and feeling stupid and dumb and having people take advantage of me for what I didn't know.

I had to talk to myself because people told me I was stupid. and somewhere in the back of my mind I was saying you're right, look what I've done, I had to say no, no, no, no, no, no less, hey, come on man, pull yourself together, you can handle this, You've just done it. I haven't figured it out yet Okay This is your training period This is tuition You have to pay for what you don't know You can do This other people have done It doesn't take an Einstein Get you some people who can teach you some things you don't know, get some people who have done it

successful

ly and learn from them take some seminars workshops read some books on how to run a business change the way you see yourself and start taking care of the personal details understand that no one is going to take care of your business better than you and when I start to change that kind of mentality of beating myself up for my mistakes and I start to look at the possibility of doing better by making the adjustment that would allow me to do what I want to do

successful

ly things start to change and I'm saying stop beating yourself up, do it, I know you do, I've done it, it's a natural inclination for us to put ourselves down, look, we're born negative.

Think with a negative conscience because we live in a negative world, so you don't have to teach children to lie. They will automatically lie. Did you wet your pants? No, I didn't do it right. What's that? Don't know. You don't have to encourage children to misbehave, they will do it on their own. You don't have to encourage them to do the wrong thing. They will do it automatically. You have to correct his behavior. So I say we have to overcome the challenges. of life learning how to start working on strengthening ourselves start protecting our mind against negative programming like turning off the TV not watching the news I think more people have a sense of hopelessness and anxiety about life if you watch the news you can't feel well watching the news you will be scared to death you are afraid to go to sleep I mean it cuts your energy you have to be aware of that don't pick up the newspaper and read No, no, just try this, experiment with yourself now, if your job depends Once you know certain things, let someone tell you about those things, but start filtering out the things that you allowed to enter your mind.

You know that song you said. Don't let anyone bring you bad news, I'm telling my staff, look here, don't tell me any bad news while I'm away, let me handle it tomorrow. I'm like anyone telling me any bad news at night before I go to sleep, I can't do anything about it anyway, why let me go to sleep with it on my conscience? No, no, and my staff knows it, they say, let it wait until tomorrow and I have a period of time to tell each other bad news. 10 o'clock and 12 noon after praying, meditating and reading my books, I'm strengthened, I'm ready to handle it, I deal with it, I get out of there and I'm going to move on to something else, so now you have to protect the type of things you put in your mind.

See, if you don't program your mind, your mind will be programmed because human beings are goal-oriented. That's why we die early with a broken

heart

, that's why we also run through life. early graves we go through life ladies and gentlemen and i think henry david throws said that most men live in quiet desperation most of us go through life running scared larry d'angie who i think will be one of the greatest motivators the Today's speakers told me a true story of a friend of theirs that every day when he came home from school, when he got to a certain block in his neighborhood, there was a neighborhood dog that was chasing him and that dog would start chasing him.

He was barking but he was running away from that dog every day every day he finally got tired of that dog chasing him every day he said this dog come this way I'm going to take a brick of stuff and break his head so that day he was walking to house minding its own business, sure enough, in the same area was that dog, there the dog started barking, he started running, he saw a brick, he stopped, picked up the brick, turned around and the dog approached him . he realized that the dog had no teeth he said he left the brick he said get out of my way and ladies and gentlemen throughout our lives many of us go through life running from things and we don't have teeth that can do us any harm, do we?

Haven't you been afraid to do something and then after doing it you say, wow, if I knew it was that easy, would I have done it sooner? Have you never had that experience? Raise your hand absolutely so we created this in our minds false evidence that looks real we made it real in our minds that's why Churchill said there is nothing to fear but fear itself that is the destructive monster so turn off the things that They can contribute to your fear. Turn a deaf ear to people who all they can do is talk about how negative things are because they have entered the world's consciousness. start attending workshops, seminars, listen to tapes daily, start reconditioning your mind to retrain your thinking. faith comes from what you hear, hear and hear, hear things that can empower you that can allow you to create a new reality for yourself in a new life for you you may seem strange to most people you know most people think that You're strange if you're happy today people say how are you, I said Better than good, wow, what's wrong?

Just go around smiling and watch people watch this. There's a weird guy here because most people don't smile. Watch him look at their faces in the morning. Here we go, another Monday morning. How are you? I haven't had my coffee yet, don't ask me, look, these people haven't found their purpose in life, that's why they're in a bad mood, that's why they're miserable, that's why they're so negative, they're suffering and they want to do harm. other people, so start practicing using programs for your mind seminars books workshops keep a journal record your thoughts what happens to you every day when you wake up keep a journal near you I use Jack Bowling's journal to be able to write down my ideas that I keep is next to my bed so I can write down my thoughts, you see ladies and gentlemen, we have three to four thoughts a year that, if we act on those thoughts, could change our life, don't say well, I will remember, no. write that thought I have a thought today I wrote a friend of mine is in the hospital his morale is low they are talking about amputating his foot he must feel very bad so I said you know I'm going to do it not only am I going to see him but I can't being there with him all the time I told him I'm going to create a tape for him that he can listen to and that will raise his morale level, we told him the other night don't go to surgery you're depressed your energy level is low no don't tell him now don't don't do it now in fact, most doctors who have any sense of conscience do not perform surgeries on patients who are in a state of fear that they don't believe they will make it, they wait until they are in a different state of mind, so I said how about we make tapes for people who face physical challenges?

I said that's a good idea, okay, I see that there are ideas that can I come to you for things that seem negative. I have a friend from Chicago. I just met him. He is 23 years oldand this guy went bankrupt financially two years ago ruined his credit. Guess what he decided to do? She found a blessing in it. He wanted to restore his credit, it was a very difficult challenge and he realized that many other people during these certain times ruin their credit, so now he started a credit repair business last year, he made more than a hundred thousand dollars helping people to restore their credit.

I met a young woman who attends this church, who was at her father's funeral and was putting flowers on her father's grave and she looked around and saw the other graves, they didn't look well kept and weren't tended to regularly. . She started a grave maintenance business out of that tragedy, something positive has come out of it and now she is making more money during that than in her current job what idea are you sitting on write your ideas and then what idea are you sitting on write your ideas and then once you have that idea, take the leap hello, take the leap, see a lot of people get the ideas and just walk with them.

Have you ever had an idea and suddenly you looked around and someone had that idea and ran with it? Think you'll go with my idea of ​​the hospital. Forget about it, buddy, we'll do it. Stand together Jack, pick up the blade, see that it is here in the universe, if you don't take the step I guarantee someone else will take the step, take

action

and ladies and gentlemen you will be surprised how things will turn out. You will be surprised that now you will have some difficult challenges. I can tell you that I am now aware that things aren't going to go exactly right in the moment, sometimes they will and that's when life is just playing a game with you. that you feel good and relax and then after a while you say okay the honeymoon is over every once in a while life will come and slap your side here say what are you doing here well it's my dream, life is like that, come here a minute, oh. you went to the seminar, hey, come here, I can tell you, but ladies and gentlemen, go into action with your dream and don't avoid where the fights are, get in the middle of the fight and get some hickeys on the head, you get knocked down, so You can learn to fight in order to maintain your position.

Look, most people don't go out into the arena of life because they don't want to fight. Most people don't go out because they don't want to get knocked out. down, they don't want to get kneed, but look, they'll drop you, whether you're on the field or whether you're sitting on the sidelines or not, they'll drop you, so at least let yourself drop for something don't get knocked down while you're sitting look , that's how most people are spectators in life you don't want to be a spectator you want to go out on the field where the action is and you will be surprised After the fight there will be a lull period and things will start to click because you come out here with what you have you don't have enough money don't worry you have the dream you have the idea that you don't have enough resources, don't worry, you need help, don't worry, you go out here in the sand, someone will look at you, be inspired and say: " Hey, can I help you?" But if you're sitting in the stands, no one is going to ask you anything.

You have to get into the flow of the action. Francis Hearth called me from Chicago. She had been thinking about an idea for a show she wanted to produce for 10 years called mind body connection so someone saw me speaking in Chicago at a sorority convention and I said I saw a guy who maybe can host this show for you who has energy and charisma. She called me and was so excited that I told her listen to the day you want to do that. speaking in chicago i can do it for you and i said by the way i met someone two weeks ago in baltimore who has an idea for the same type of show and she's doing it on the radio why don't you call her and then she called me too who Would you suggest more?

I mean, well, I know Deepak Chopra, he wrote the book called quantum healing and Bernie Segal, could you get his number? I tell you what I have a friend named Jack Bolan at the church of the day, he knows how to contact him call him and he will give you the number so you can contact bernie siegel that lady started calling everywhere she didn't have the resources but she had this idea and dream and she said the other night when she came before the audience that had gathered in the studio she said I feel like I'm 10 years pregnant and tonight you are going to witness a beautiful birth and it was she said I couldn't believe them how things began to happen how everything began to take shape when you want something in life you have to be willing to take action don't wait for things to be good don't wait for things to be perfect don't wait for things to turn out well Ideal situation will never be ideal there will always be a reason well, as soon as the kids are grown, as soon as I pay my bills, as soon as I get divorced, okay, as soon as I get enough money, do what you can, where you can.

You are with what you have and you are never satisfied. Many people never take risks in life. They don't want to take any risks. They want the situation to be ideal. Look, that's not walking by faith, it's walking by sight.
