Wake Up In Life And Work On Yourself | Les Brown | Motivational Compilation| Let's Become Successful

It's whatever you want to do, you want to do it massively. I have a friend who told me that his sales had gone down. I said, well, how many phone calls do you make a day. He said 25. I told him double that, do 50 or 75. 100. He said oh man, that's too much. What do you mean by too much? You are behind on your bills. You talk too much. You know that one way to recover very quickly is to miss two car payments. There is no competition here. Decide. that you are going to try hard most people will not do it that most people give up easily you know that the human spirit is powerful there is nothing so powerful it is difficult to kill the human spirit they asked the Israeli from Benjamin a man who became the leader of a country at a time when Jews were not allowed to go out after 10 o'clock, he said: how is it done?

How is it achieved against so many difficulties? He said nothing can resist the will of a people who will risk even their existence in the scope of their purpose for good is that when you have a decision when you decide that you want to do something I was reading something the other day he said the power of holding on despite all the power to endure this belongs to the winner quality hunger the ability to face defeat again and again without giving up this is the quality of a winner you have that quality inside you when you are hungry you don't care about the facts you don't care Chances are there is greatness in you and you have to learn to disconnect from the critics outside and the critics inside and since I am going to do this, I am going to take advantage of my will and I am not going to let anything stop me.

I deserve it. I'm going to do it until this friend told him to start increasing your calls. I told him I make a hundred calls a day. The other thing is that if you want something you have to be relentless. You have to learn to do it.

become

resourceful, you have to learn to be creative when crisis hits your

life

and in Chinese language crisis means danger but it also means opportunity and this is a chance for you to grow and you have to be relentless despite everything. of what comes down the pike that you are always looking for a way to overcome it, always looking for a way to break through and always looking for a way to deliver a forceful blow, live your

life

with passion and with some drive.

You have to look at people, the relationships you develop, how like-minded people, if you're around people who are dead and negative all the time, will affect you. You want people around you who have smiles on their faces and look good. you have to observe your continents, observe your face, have a high expression, observe the posture of your body, all these things affect you psychically, you have to be the type of person that you are not afraid, you are unstoppable and, because you are unstoppable, because you have You have energy that you haven't even started to use yet, you should release the brakes.

How many of you have had the experience of pulling out of your driveway and you're stuck on the gas and the car was just going? Could? It wouldn't move and you squeezed it harder and it couldn't move and then you found out you had the emergency brakes on and then you let go of them and it

become

s reality. Have you ever had that experience before Most of us go through life with our braces? in holding back, not giving all we have, not sharing all of ourselves, most of us go to the grave, still holding on instead of releasing it, what are some of those things that prevent us from releasing it because of past experiences, defeats past, past pain?

Look back, well, it didn't

work

, so it probably won't

work

now. Many people confuse their performances with who they are. If my speech tonight doesn't work, it doesn't mean I'm a bad speaker. It means that what I did didn't work tonight and I have to separate what I do from who I am and I have another chance. Look, the last chapter of your life hasn't been written yet and it doesn't matter. what happened yesterday it doesn't matter the things you've done that you feel guilty about otherwise you wouldn't do it today you're condemning an innocent person something I'd like to share some ideas and thoughts with you I'm not asking you to believe anything I say.

I'm not asking you to agree with me and if there is something I say that may fit and work for you, I tell you to use it, if not, throw it away and let it be one of the things that I have realized and many of us have to if you want something from life if you want to change

yourself

if you want to acquire something if there is any goal that you want to achieve that really is not easy as some people make us feel that living your dream changing your behaviors overcoming negative habits is a challenge is difficult living alone is very difficult and once we start accepting the fact that living is difficult life is very challenging once I heard a song by a guy called dimples calls, if it's not one thing, it's another, never You will have a problem-free moment in life, there is always something, so how do we start to feed that hunger?

What are the characteristics of the qualities of people who are hungry? What is needed? In order for me to get some of the things I want and be hungry for those things, you first have to work on

yourself

, it is very important that you engage in a continuous process to develop yourself, spending more time on yourself than you have been spending is very important you owe it to yourself i was reading a book by augmentino called the university of success reading one line gave me chills i didn't have to read anything else in the book he said many of us never realize our greatness because we get sidetracked of the secondary activity, we spread ourselves too thin, we don't know how to say no and we find ourselves doing all kinds of things and we never have time to do those things that we need to do to work on ourselves and then there. a second passes another second passes another second passes another second and we can't stop and all the time and before you know it you

wake

up one day and you're behind on your dreams and your bills so you decide you're going to take some time to work in you that you deserve that of yourself that your life deserves prime time because you are creating your own production as michael todd would say you are the star of your show you are the director you are writing the script and you will determine if your life is a great success in the office or a failure, you determine that working on yourself, talking to yourself, is very important, overcoming negative self-talk, that internal dialogue that goes on all the time, all the time, even when you don't want it to be that way. .

There you can't stop thinking that you can't do it, it's happening and, therefore, learning to empower yourself, part of doing it is facing yourself, sometimes you have to stand up inside yourself and say shut up. You have to do this I was going to give a presentation and this voice inside me says you can't do this you don't have everything you need I'll shut up you'll be scared sometimes your mind will go blank you, some people you'll allow to get on your nerves and you'll wonder what it happens to me I am not crazy. That's why you have to learn to make a conscious, deliberate and determined effort to rise up within yourself, work on yourself and observe that internal dialogue.

It determines the quality of your life when you are working on something you want to achieve. You have to face that voice. You have to sell yourself every day on your skills, what you are doing, and the goal you want. To achieve it you have to sell yourself every day, every day, every day, depending on your level of belief, it will manifest in what you are doing, whatever we have now, whatever we are demonstrating in our lives is the result What I subconsciously believe is that we deserve it and part of increasing that level of belief is that you have to convince yourself every day that you have to sell yourself.

I do a lot of training for many corporations and lead sales seminars and have heard all kinds. of guys doing techniques and training people techniques on how to close sales and how to work and start controlling the sale and how to order the clothes let me share something with you you can learn all the techniques in the world if you don't believe in yourself it won't happen to you, it will. I learned everything, that's why I do a training called seller focus, you have to focus on yourself and, as you convince yourself, you sell yourself every day.

Every day you will start to see a difference in the things you are doing, selling yourself on your ability to do a job to achieve a certain goal, telling yourself every day here I go again and I have what it takes, This is my day. and nothing here is going to stop me, that leads me to the next thing. It takes courage to act. Part of being hungry when you've been defeated. It takes courage to start over. I used to do door-to-door sales and I was working with another friend of mine and selling door-to-door, I mean, it's punishment, it's cruel and unusual punishment and I was a little kid knocking on doors.

Hello, would you like to buy a nice working TV? No down payment, no bam. slams the door in his face and the friend of mine who was working with me slammed the door in his face and I looked back and he was going to the car, he said I can't do this and he sat in the car and he said go ahead, I will be here when you come back now he had a mother and a father to take care of him my mother was sick I am adopted I was hungry I had to continue I learned something about myself that when you step on your fears someone said it was winston churchill said that courage is going from failure to failure failure without losing enthusiasm when you delve into your fears and continue to strive to move forward something happens to you when you have something you want to do If you do not develop the courage to do what you have been given and spend a lot of time trying to convince other people trying to get their approval, what will happen is that you will lose your temper and you will lose other people.

It will convince you that what you are doing has no value and you will give up on your dream. It's an interesting thing in life. I have also discovered that if you don't have the courage to act sometimes and especially if you have something special to do life will move on with you if not for life I would still be a disc jockey I didn't leave voluntarily to go to the state legislature I was fired I was working a job and I came home one day, I was married at the time and I told my ex wife, I told her that guy, bird that I work for, is stupid, she said, if he's so stupid, why What do you sign a paycheck for that night?

I couldn't sleep well, here was a boy. That controlled my life I was going through all kinds of changes because this man controlled my salary and it was Carlisle who said that the truth crushed into the ground will rise again Winston Churchill said that the truth is incontrovertible malice can attack it ignorance can mock it but at the same time same time There is the end and we know the scriptures that say you will know the truth and the truth will set you free and the truth that I had to face, that I was not in charge of my destiny, the truth was that I was not.

I didn't give everything I had, the truth is that there are some things I wanted to do but I didn't have the courage to act on them and the truth is that the bird boy was a blessing to me, he made my life so miserable. I had to start looking at my life differently I started going to work earlier I started being the last one out of there I started working harder than anyone else the other kids couldn't why would you work so hard I told them no working for them i have been fooling bert i thought i had been fooling myself and my family wherever you are whatever you do do it with everything you have develop the habit of giving more than you are paid develop the habit of setting standards that others will be measured by someone said: do not go where the path takes you but go where there is no path and leave a trail before April 1954 the common belief the universal belief because it had been tried again and again and people have failed the belief It was that man was not physically capable of breaking the four-minute barrier that he could not run a mile in less than four minutes that was the belief on the planet it had never been done but this is what happened ladies and gentlemen Roger Bannister arrived and broke the four-minute barrier.

Here's the big thing about it, from then to this day, over 20,000 people have done it, including high school kids. 20,000 people. What changed. This is what happened when they entered the track. They knew it had been done and because they knew it had been done there was a new belief about this barrier about this goal that was unattainable and those 20,000 people went into a race believing that, knowing in their hearts that someone had done it, it was possible. . that they could do it and I'm saying that if you know someone who had some goal, some dream, something they wanted to do and they did it, that nice saying, you know in your heart that if someone has done it, then you can do it.

It is possible and if someone can make that dream come true, you may be able to make your dream come true and as you start to look at where you want to go, you start to accept that it is possible. I am blessed and highly. favored I have a lot going for me I have some good things in me and I may be able to bring out my greatness here in the universe I can do what I want to do I may be able to write my own book I may have my own businessi can make the trip and travel around the world it's possible i can recover from adversity and reinvent my life it's possible no matter where i am things can get better for me it's possible i'm thinking of two men here in chicago who are quite

successful

with similar backgrounds, educated, worked for a corporation for many years and were among many people who were laid off.

Two guys who were very good friends, one went out looking for a job for several weeks together with the other and faced disappointment and rejection again. and time and time again they couldn't find any work, which is the story of many people across this country. One man stopped, got discouraged, stopped going, stayed home watching TV, became very argumentative and toxic with his wife drinking beer and talking on the phone. talking to his other negative unemployed friend and he just gave up, the other one kept looking for a job everywhere he could go every chance he got, he kept asking people making contacts, checking newspapers every day, I kept going everywhere I could trying to find a job. you have too much education you are overqualified you won't be here long enough he kept going went to a place and said look I'll tell you what happens if you can't hire me and I know you can use my talents skills and abilities I don't want to sit at home and do nothing just let me do it. some volunteer work you don't have to give me anything it's okay I just want to work I want to be busy the guy said okay it's up to you now but don't expect me to give you anything okay this guy came in and worked he was the first one there, The last one to leave, he was the best employee, about four weeks later, one of the senior managers resigned, they were looking. for a replacement, guess who they selected this other guy, this guy who was volunteering his time, he got the job, what was the difference between the two men, sight and mind, sight is judging by what you see , judge based on appearances, but mental vision is how you interpret. what you see a guy said it's not possible it's over I'm done I can't do it I can't do it he gave up I've faced rejection over and over again I'm not going to go anymore there are no jobs out there but This other guy felt that despite the no and the rejections, despite how bad the economy is, despite what the papers say, it's possible that someone somewhere will give me a job, he kept thinking it was possible and he guessed. that ladies and gentlemen that is what we have to do with our dreams because things happen to you in life that you can never anticipate and many times when those things happen you want to give up I remember when I was on the broadcast when I was a disc jockey I became very controversial no not only because I was a disc jockey but I felt that radio was something with which you not only entertain people but also empower them, educate them and they fired me, not only did I leave, they fired me, they took away my microphone.

I thought that was what which was, no, ladies and gentlemen, it was not like that. I had to do something else and I didn't know what else I could do. Look, this is what I'm seeing, what are the uses for your life right now. that you haven't even reached yet. I think when you don't have enough stimulus to act on your dreams or ideas or you are not enlightened enough for life to act on you, some decisions are big decisions and there are also a lot of small decisions that we don't make that burden our mind. , they drain our energy, they create a lot of anxiety, nervousness and mental torment because we do not deal with it, we decide not to decide, which is a decision, decide Deciding to act is a great challenge for all of us at different points in different areas of our lives and There are things that happen to us along the way, experiences we have that prevent us from overcoming the mental block to act or do. those things that we know we should do and so what I want you to think about is what is it that you know you should do, what you want to do, but for some reason or another you have been holding back for some reason. or another you simply have not been able to control your nerves or you have not been able to overcome procrastination or postpone it or justify or blame some reason or another you simply have not done it and you know that you should do this thing that you really want to do this but you don't know why why haven't you done it no one knows what I'm talking about raise your hand please okay then I have company here tonight I'm not talking alone now first of all I know this is not easy because to start reinventing your life you have to make a conscious effort , deliberate and determined where you really have to put your all into it.

It is very difficult to act to do those things. There are moments when you are looking at it you say I know I need to do this but I don't feel like doing it I don't want to do it I know I need to do it but leave me alone no, I don't want to do it so what do we do what are those things that lead us to do like this I think between The things that prevent us from acting are the fear of failure and if you have already failed you do not want to fail again.

The pain of that, the disappointment, the fear of loss, is something else because many times, when we do those things that we know we should do , we feel like we might lose someone we love very much and care about, we don't want to hurt anyone. Many of us do not act because we want the approval of others, we want everyone to like us and accept us and that is not possible. Many of us do not do the things we want to do and do not act because of lack of confidence. self-confidence we don't believe in ourselves enough I have a friend who has been working at a job that she is miserably talented at and wants to go somewhere else where she can do whatever she wants and make the amount of money she would like to make and she had some offers, but because of her fear and lack of self-confidence that things might not work out, she won't take the risk, so she spends eight hours a day, five days a week and is miserable.

She hates going to work, they don't pay her what she's worth, she knows it, but she still won't do what she knows she should do and it's exhausting that many people are sick of their work because they don't act, look at the absenteeism and the people who are depressed, you see them coming to work angry, how are you, I don't know, leave me alone, it's not even nine, you're still talking about good morning. There are days when you go to work and you just want to leave work behind. You know you don't want to stop because it's out of sync with who you are but you haven't acted.

You have another friend. This guy is brilliant. He is a business consultant. He helped a lot of people start his business and people come to him because they know he has knowledge, but this guy won't start his own business now he's very smart, he can do it. Everyone believes in him except him and he is so smart that he has spoken. he himself is out of the hole the numbers are not correct so there are many reasons why we do not act there are other things although what affects us is that by not wanting to take personal responsibility we want someone else to do it and many times we choose we increase our inability to do certain things about people we love, people we admire, we identify with them and live in the context of their ideas, their opinions and their life patterns, we accept it unconsciously, my mother is a pack rat, she keeps everything she needs. doesn't throw anything away and I've picked it up unconsciously now my mother never said let me show you how to put everything away except just messy things I pick it up unconsciously many times unconsciously we try to honor the people we love by being like In the same way, I realized something about me when I had to make some important decisions and found myself acting like my mother.

I see that my mother is the type of person that when she has a problem with one of the other foster children that she adopted, she won't confront them, she will call me les, why don't you tell linda to move her? She's lazy, she won't go to work, she runs around the street all day and then she comes home and wants to sleep all day and I think she's doing it. drugs, I said, but mom, why don't you tell Linda that I bought the house for you? I told you that when she wanted to come home, don't let a grown person come there and take care of her, lyrics, well, after all, she is my daughter.

Mom, so you handle that when I tell her to go, she says Mom says, I can say Mom, I can say and you say yes and then you call me and say she's still here, why bother with this? So mom hasn't developed courage. To act accordingly, some people will not act until there is a crisis situation when Linda starts stealing from Mom and took a social security check to get some drugs. Mom had some courage to say, get out of here, never come back, but she would. I won't do it until then and we'll see, we don't have to wait until a crisis situation.

I have a friend who has been having the challenge of losing weight. Bus has been dealing with that challenge and for the past 40 years he has always seemed heavy. He was over 235 pounds and then he said man I just can't lose weight, I have big bones, I mean dude, I've never seen fat skeletons, no, you need to act on your health, you can change this, you don't have to. Go to your grave fat man we're all digging the first grades with our teeth we don't have to do this you need to have a support group around eminem peanut you want a support group on something and throw giggles there too but I can say it What happened to Bud?

Although he got sick a few weeks ago, Blood in the last few weeks has lost more weight than he had ever lost, even when we were competing against each other betting a lot of money, but what happened was that Bud became diabetic, went into insulin shock, He didn't know he was diabetic, his blood sugar went up and the doctor told him, "You're diabetic, you'll have to take insulin injections every day." You have to change your diet and let me tell you what is going to happen if you don't do what we tell you to do Number one, there is a chance that you could become an amputee Number two, you can go blind, three, you can become impotent, but say help .

I like those guys with Paul when when Paul escaped from prison, those guys said: Tell me what I have to do to be saved. What did we say? I said buddy, you want one of my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. No, I said, but I can. I don't think you're eating vegetables man you're exercising he said that's true also jogging in place now he had the ability to do it before but there are some people who need that kind of crisis to make them happen and power so that act for their own benefit some people have to hit rock bottom in order to rise.

I don't know why you want to start looking at your life and what you want for yourself and I think when we start to focus on the area of ​​what it takes for us to act, I think we can say that events can inspire us to act on that particular event. in the circumstances of his life. A friend of mine wanted to do something and he just didn't have the motivation and the drive and confidence within himself but his circumstances change overnight through the acquisition of the company he worked for he lost his job due to the inspiration from desperation had to act see life also things that can inspire us to act see that we don't have the courage and that's what it takes courage it takes guts to do what you know you should do if you don't have the courage to act the Life will often move on you and make you act whatever you want to develop technically mastery you want to be the best at what you do you want to master it see part of self-motivation is that you have to find something that gives you a strong sense of competence well, you You become known for it You develop a reputation for being good at doing that You set high personal standards for yourself You are not competing with anyone else, you are simply developing yourself to be the best person you can be You want to provide the best quality service you can you can toast because That is a statement about who you are.

The other thing that is key to self-motivation is recognizing the fact that you are going to have some slumps. Recognize the fact that you are going to encounter a lot of failures in life. with the territory but in the face of that you want to be ruthless and when you want something you don't expect everyone to say oh oh you want this oh great we want to give you this you're a good person You're doing it for your family, aren't you great? No, life is not like that. Many doors will be closed in your face, many loans that you want and they tell you no, you don't have enough collateral, you don't have it.

Enough credit and most people will give up, but you have to decide that I won't be afraid. I refuse to be denied and I am going to do everything I can. I'm going to be relentless, I don't care how. many know that I find, I like something that Thomas said about Isaiah when he was getting ready for a basketball game, he said: I'm going to shoot us or shoot us, but I'm not going to do anything, that's the way to go, you can do it . You can't make a basket unless you shoot the ball. You can't hit a home run unless you swing at it.

Most people won't even take a swing. Well, I probably won't make it anyway. That's the internal conversation. They probably won. Don't give it to me anyway if you want something you have to be ruthless you have to decide that I deserve this and I'm going tohave it and you do everything possible to get it that drives you the next thing is that 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 the ideal situation it will never be ideal there will always be a reason well as soon as the kids grow up as soon as I pay my bills as soon as I get divorced it's okay as soon as I have enough money together do what you can where you are with what you have and never be 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 if I can see it I will do it no no no no many people say if I can see it I will believe it no no If you believe it you can see it and don't be upset because no one else can see it that's not unusual that's normal but because you want some different kind of results in your life you have to be willing to be unreasonable if you want unreasonable results in your life you have to be willing to be unreasonable part of being unreasonable you don't judge according to appearances part of being unreasonable you can see it because you believe it that is part of being unreasonable part of being unreasonable you are like Paul who said that you must have faith to invoke those things that are not as if they were That's part of being unreasonable.

Most people won't do that. Most people say: Call me when you're ready. The other thing is that one of the keys to empowering self-motivation is that you want to find a cause bigger than yourself, find something that you can contribute to. find something that you can make a difference because you can part of what fuels your larger vision part of what gives you a reason to be part of what your life gives you is being able to give something back so I can't afford to give nothing you can't afford not to give give your time give your talent there is nothing just to review and lick envelopes I don't know exactly what I'm going to do but I'm going there it's part of my tithe in the universe once you develop that sense special mission and that is what you develop when you are part of a cause bigger than yourself, it drives you, you don't need an alarm clock to get up in the morning, you have a special power, you go places AND people will like to be around of you.

They will know that there is something different about you.
