Why not now this is a good time as the 20th century starts to wind down few
more years as we get ready for century 21 what a good time to set your goals
work on yourself work on your skills what a good time to get it together what
a good time to start this process personal development growing changing
developing having a good plan for your money and for your life and for your
future why not now
what's now up no opportunities wasted
listen to me carefully guys there's still me very carefully you got to hear
what I'm saying this is important there are 86,400 seconds in a day and if
you maximize each and every one of them you will live like you want to live you
will have what you want to have and you'll be what you want to be you can
have more than you've got because you can become more than you are if you just
remain how you are you'll always have what you've got but if you're willing to
make changes the next five years of your life can be totally different than the
last one if you don't change chances are excellent the next five will be like the
last four things to change you've got to change for things to get
better it's not what happens that determines your future it's what you do
about what happens direction determines destination all you got to do is make a
little change in direction to arrive at a brand new destination in two years
three years five years you either have to change your life that is you kind of
say you know what my body isn't there I'm gonna go work out my relationship is
in there I'm gonna change it you know I'm not making one I gotta make I'm
gonna retool I'm gonna get a new skill I'm gonna go back to school I'm gonna
start a business I'm gonna do something you have to do something to change your
life or in order for you to be happy you can't change your life you're gonna have
to change your blueprint usually a life of a car is a little bit of each
does that make sense and if you change your take change your life and change
your blueprint you can have an extraordinary life because all of us are
gonna have times in our life when what we want or think life should be like
isn't gonna match how life really is those moments if we blame our life goes
into pain if we change we can change our life and match our blueprint the fact
that you're not happy has nothing to do with what you have or don't have the
fact that you're not happy is that your life doesn't match the way you think it
should be you have some idea of how you think it should be
listen to me there are those of you of what you're doing is that there are 10
opportunities in a day and you're taking advantage of seven of them you think
you're doing something yup you got to hear me you got to hear me you only have
24 hours in a day and you've heard me say this time and time again the way you
spend your 24 hours determines how you live if you want the future to change
for you you've got to change if you don't change the next six years of your
life is going to be just like the last six you'll still be behind on your bills
you'll still be behind on your promises no opportunity wasted again no
opportunity wasted if one of us can do it hey we all can do it now here's my
last question why not now
what is it that gives your life a sense of meaning and purpose because once you
find that it puts you in your power please see if you know what your life
work is I encourage you to start working on it if you can't do it all at one time
do just a little bit of it and if you don't know what it is that you showed up
to do if you don't know why you're here I encourage you to find out what your
purpose is here what is the meaning of your life what will be different if you
have asked yourself that question I've done that I I remember coming from a
friends of my funeral and I was reflecting on how much time I had left
and I went for a walk in a park thinking about this guy whose life was so
promising and I mean he wasn't an old guy he was quite young in fact and I
thought about all of the things that he said he was going to do and he never got
a chance to do those things and I start thinking about my own life and how much
time I had left to do the things that I would like to do and at that time I
wasn't sure what my life purpose was what my life's work was I wasn't sure
about it at that time and I thought about it quite a lot I had some idea but
I wasn't convinced that I don't think I felt worthy I didn't believe that it
could be me to do this kind of work that I'm doing right now
and I say to you that if you begin to take a conscious effort to find out what
it is that you're supposed to do I say that it can literally save your
life I said that it can literally save your life 85% of the American public
according to recent studies are going to jobs that they hate working on jobs that
do not challenge them they get sick thinking about going because see when
you go to a job and you already know how far you can go you can already see that
proverbial glass ceiling see when you're going someplace and you already know how
much you're going to make you already know how far you can go you're in a
dead-end position it erodes your self-esteem it lowers your sense of
yourself it creates an inner turmoil
it creates an emptiness in you so I say that your life is worth finding what it
is that you're supposed to do and I'm not saying quit your job I'm saying find
it and do just a little bit of just not working at it just a little bit but do
find out what your work is and hold on to it and don't let your dream go don't
let it go see and here's something else I want you to begin to look at why is it
that most people don't pursue their dreams so don't do better than what
they're doing if they're capable of doing it I think that many of us don't
go the next step because we don't know what to do yet and I say that that the
reason that we don't even explore the possibility of what to do is because
subconsciously we don't believe that it can happen for us and we don't believe
that we deserve it so here's what I'm suggesting how much
time do you spend working on you how much time do you spend every day working
on your dream and the last 90 days how many books have you read
in the last year what new skill or knowledge have you acquired what kind of
investment have you made in you so I'm saying that as you begin to look at
where you want to go if you want to make it today and things are changing so fast
you have to literally run to standstill I'm saying that you've got to make some
conscious effort to begin to work to develop you here's something else most
people are not living their dreams because of fear ladies and gentlemen
fear limited vision and lack of self esteem is what keep most people doing
things they don't want to do the same reason that people stay in relationships
where they're abused are they're unhappy what's unfulfilled they can't see
themselves beyond that relationship they can't see themselves enjoying life
without that person they think that this is all that they can do the same reason
that people get stuck at a certain level in life they can't see things being
better for them and they think that this is in and this is all they deserve this
is all they've ever seen has been passed on to them and they think that this is
it for them oh no looking what dr. Blanton Smalley
Blanton who is a colleague of dr. norman vincent peale what he said about
theories that fear is the most subtle and destructive of all human diseases
ladies and gentlemen fear kills dreams fear kills hope fear put people in the
hospital fear can age you fear ladies and gentlemen can hold you back from
doing something that you know within yourself that you're capable of doing
but it will paralyze you and it seem like you're in a hypnotic spell and I
ask you a question what is the benefit what's the benefit of allowing fear to
hold you back what's the benefit of giving up on yourself of not stepping
out on life and taking life on what is
the benefit for you what's the plus in that
it's one of the things I had to ask myself so I didn't want to make any
mistakes I wanted everybody to like me I wanted
to be perfect the first time I did something it's not going to happen
you're going to make some mistakes you're gonna hurt some folks feelings
you're gonna create some enemies whenever you decide that you want to
begin to take life on you've got to ask yourself how long am I going to allow
this to hold me back I like what Zig Ziglar says he said fear is false
evidence appearing real that it's an illusion that we create in our mind it
is a state of mind that can be changed so let's look at how we can begin to
take some steps to restructure that fear to begin to expand our visions of
ourselves to begin to increase our self-esteem Webster said that
self-esteem means confidence and satisfaction in oneself look at your
life right now whatever you've done up to this point in time your life is
working whatever you have produced it came out of you as a result of the kind
of person that you have become it's a result of your choices it's a result of
your consciousness now you have to ask yourself are you satisfied with what you
hit produce is this what you want would you like for things to be better than
this do you believe that you deserve better than this are you content this is
it you don't have to do everything anything else but you are ready to
resign yourself enlightened so well I'm happy I'm not starving like the people
in Calcutta are you allowing yourself to get off the
hook like that or do you believe somewhere in the back of your mind or in
your heart but there's some other great work for you to do there's something
else that life has for you and that's why you're here how do we handle this
fear factor how do we increase our self-esteem you have to begin to fortify
yourself how do we do that I believe that you have to begin to consciously
monitor your inner conversation and start talking to yourself start building
yourself up sometimes the only good things you will hear about you are the
things that you say to you so I'm saying learn to be your own
booster start building yourself up start encouraging yourself
