country had always been my dream
goes my first audition i knew i had to
go into this room and read new lines in
front of all these people but i was so
nervous before i went in so i went to
the bathroom I remember before I went in
and looked in the mirror and so stupid
in case I talk to myself I said follow
you you play the most difficult
characters in in in the most complicated
movies I lost my hair a little bit felt
great can what did my bit and got the
job I want you to look at something
right now thank you some major goal you
want or maybe it's one you're already
working on and you have experienced a
lot of setbacks a lot of defeats you've
experienced a lot of disappointment
maybe you've already given up and maybe
you just need a little far little
encouragement to get back in the game
again here's what I want you to look at
they're winners they're losers and there
are people who have not discovered how
to win and all they need is some
coaching all they needed some help and
assistance just a little support all
they need is some insight or different
strategy a plan of action to make some
adjustments that will open up the key to
a whole new future for them that will
give them access to the unlimited power
that they have within themselves that's
all that they need so what I want you to
do is think about something you want for
you that's real for you that's important
for you that will give your life some
special meaning in power and I don't
even want you to say I can do that I
don't want you to assume that C five
years ago when i started out of this
area i would not have been able to make
the mental leap that i would be up to
where i am right now I don't want you to
begin to just psych yourself out
no no I want you to be able to say
something to yourself that will enable
you to maintain a level of integrity
with yourself that when you say this
even when you face tremendous setbacks
it it will be a benchmark to keep you in
the game to keep you moving forwarding
experimenting and readjusting your
strategy and your plan of action
continuously looking for ways to win so
what is that something when you got an
idea you want to move on you might not
have the money you might not have the
education you might not have the support
or resources you need what is that
something that can keep us going that
will enable us to act on our dream
what's one of those keys that will begin
to help us to discover the secrets to
our dream here's what I want you to
repeat after me please with power and
conviction say it's possible it's all I
want you to do when you look at your
dream you say to yourself every day it's
possible let's say that every day to
them it's possible because what does
that do see it begins to change your
belief system see the way in which we
operate ladies and gentlemen it's a
manifestation of what we believe what's
possible for us whatever you've done up
to this point all that it really is is a
duplication it's a reproduction of what
you believe subconsciously that you
deserve and what's possible for your
life before in april nineteen fifty four
the common belief the universal belief
because it had been tried again and
again and again and people have failed
the belief was that man was not
physically capable of breaking the
four-minute barrier that he could not
want a mile in less than four minutes
that was the belief on the planet it had
never been done but here's what happened
ladies and gentlemen Roger Bannister
came along and he wrote the four-minute
barrier now here's what's significant
about that since that time off to this
day over 25
people have done it including high
school kids what James 20,000 people
what changed here's what happened when
they got on 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
unreachable and those 20,000 people got
Anna raised believing knowing in the
heart that someone had done it that it's
possible that they could do it and I'm
saying that if you know anybody that had
some gold some dreams something they
wanted to do and they did it denies
thing that you know in your heart that
if someone has done it then you can do
it it's possible and that if someone can
make that dream become a reality that
it's it's possible that you can make
your dream become reality
see anybody can whether you will or not
see that question and here's a good
question to ask we are all buying
somebody planned the question is who
who's got you talked into doing what
you're doing who's got you talked into
your present Plan C 10 years from now
you will surely arrive the question is
where but see anybody if you want to can
go searching for a good plan pick it and
start working it and sure enough as the
time passes as it surely will five years
from now 10 years from now then you'll
be winding up where and what you want to
wear driving what you want to drive
living where you want to live become
what you want to become but now is the
time to fix the next 10 years and who
can any body here's number six the six
key to sowing and reaping this is
leveling with you now as we promised to
do there's one thing better than the
truth and that's the whole truth and
here's part of the whole truth of the
law of sowing and reaping number six is
you could lose there are times when you
just lose no matter what you do it's
that kind of planet you reap what you
sow yes but what does that mean yes but
well the farmer planchas crop in the
spring takes care of it all summer loves
his family works 10 12 hours a day six
seven days a week is an honorable man
come fall he's got a beautiful crop and
he deserves every bit of it but the day
before he sends the combines into the
field a hail storm comes along and beats
it all in the ground which means you
lose
somebody says well what did he do wrong
answer nothing it's just that kind of
planet sometimes it's going to hail on
your crop and rain on your parade so
you've got to get ready for that or you
will be naive that's just part of the
light arrangement and don't press me why
I was not in on some of the original
decisions here so I don't know how it
got set up but there's just time
sometimes you lose that's part of life
but now here's number seven the seventh
key to sowing and reaping and it goes
like this it's just another way to quote
the same law and it goes like this if
you don't so that's just another way to
cook the law if you don't so what you
don't reap you don't even have a gin so
if you look at your game plan tomorrow
you might come to a quick conclusion I
got to get some sewing going how true
get you some so and going and remember
you've got plenty of time you've got all
the time there is some people spend
enough TV time to make a fortune the
latest article on television watching in
this country according to the latest
article the average television is on in
this country and every household seven
hours a day called the big seven I asked
a guy one time woody TV costs he said
about four hundred and fifty dollars I
said you forgot to look at the price tag
he said what do you mean I knew he was a
TV watcher I said that television cost
you in my opinion at least twelve
thousand dollars a year to watch it not
to own almond it's cheap watching it is
what's expensive and i said hey 12,000
years too much to pay to watch TV that's
too much pay a little but not
well thousands and he's the guy that
said I hope pay-tv never comes okay
we're trying to cover an awful lot
tonight I realize that but my time
schedule is such that we just have to
sort of give it all to you and let you
sort the rest out I wish we have plenty
of time for questions and answers and
that whole thing but our time is just
limited but so we are trying to go
through an awful lot i realize that but
looks like everybody's getting it it's
about the note taking his crowd i've
seen in a long time incredible as
anybody have five pages yet anybody know
fantastic incredible okay maybe you
heard the story about the preacher down
in texas southern part of the country he
was an evangelist back in the horse and
buggy days and he was very good at being
an evangelist and a lot of people used
to come and hearing preach and one day
he put up his tent in one of the Texas
sounds and expected a big crowd as usual
come here and preach and he got there
first night of the tent revival walked
in 730 time to start and to his surprise
the tenth was empty he thought well
something must be drastically wrong so
he waited till quarter date nobody
showed up eight o'clock zip finally 815
one lone cowboy wandered up on his horse
tied his horse up outside came in sat
down on the front bench right waiting
for something to happen the preacher
thought well at least I better go down
and talk to the cowboy so he walks down
talks to the cowboy and he says cowboy
I'm the preacher and he said I don't
know what to tell you something's gone
wrong he said this tent was supposed to
be full of people he said I'm
embarrassed he said you're the only one
that showed up and he said I really
don't know what to do
and the cowboy said well I'm not a
preacher so I really can't tell you what
to do you know I said I'm just a cowboy
but he said I know this if I went out to
feed my cattle and only one showed up
I'd at least feed it the preacher
thought hey the cowboy is right if
you've got a good idea to share you
should share it if there's one or a
thousand so he got kind of inspired by
this conversation and he jumped up on
the platform started to preach as if the
tent was full of people just exploded
and he went for an hour hour and 15
minutes just kept rolling finally he
quit and when he finished he came down
off the platform talked to the cowboy
again says well cowboy what did you
think I'm a sermon and the Cowboys said
well I'm not a preacher so I really
can't tell you know he said I'm just a
cowboy but he said I know this if I were
not to feed my cattle and only one
showed up I'd feed it but I wouldn't
dump the whole load of it
so anyway if it seems like we're dumping
the whole load tonight I guess we are
but I sure everybody's doing well I'm
having a good time I appreciate the
response here tonight okay the next
subject is setting goals let me show you
what turned my life every way but loose
mr. Shope dropped this ID on me changed
me completely setting goals here's what
can easily happen if you don't set goals
it's easy to let life deteriorate into
making a living instead of designing a
life and we all have a choice make a
living or design a life it's easy to get
trapped by economic necessity and settle
for existence rather than substance
that's easy but the best advice I can
give you on how to break out of that
trap is to learn how to set goals mr.
she'll put it to me this way he said Jim
if you had enough reasons you could do
the most incredible things i never
forgot how he put that if you have
enough reason see reasons will change
your whole life
mr. shelf said to me said Mr own I think
you've got plenty of intelligence you've
got plenty of talent you've got plenty
of ability probably what you lack is
plenty of reasons he said I don't think
your current bank balance is a true
indication of your level of intelligence
I was happy to hear that he said I think
you're much smarter than your present
bank balance indicates and that turned
out to be true I was much smarter but of
course my first question was well then
why isn't it bigger and he said you
don't have enough reason you've got
enough intelligence but not enough
reasons so see reasons can change your
life here's what else I found out
reasons come first answers come second
you don't get the answers to do well
till you get the reason life has a
mysterious way of hanging on to all the
answers and only gives them up to the
people that are inspired by reasons so
reasons make the difference in how your
life works out now what are some of the
reasons for doing well let's go through
a quick list called reasons for doing
well first is personal reasons some
people do well for recognition some
people do well for respect some people
do well for the way it makes them feel
they love the feeling of being a winner
those are good reasons I have some
millionaire friends that keep working 10
12 hours a day making more minions and
it's not because they need the money
it's because they need the joy and the
satisfaction and the pleasure that comes
from being a constant winner
and see it's not just the money anyway
it's the journey not the money once in a
while somebody says to me boy if I had
$1000000 I'd never work another day in
my life that's probably why the good
Lord sees to it they don't get their
millions right they'd quit they'd quit
okay next is family reasons some people
do extremely well for other people and
that's powerful human beings can greatly
affect each other sometimes we will do
things for somebody else we will not do
for ourselves we are made that way I met
a man one time who said Mr own to do all
the things i want to do with my family
around the world he said I got to have
at least a quarter of a million dollars
a year I thought incredible could a
guy's family affecting that much and the
answer is of course how fortunate are
the people that find themselves greatly
affected by somebody for personal
achievement and we are affected the
writer of a recent song said if not for
you the winter would hold no spring
couldn't hear a Robin thing I just
wouldn't have a clue if not for you so
we can be affected that might be one of
the most stimulating reasons to do well
finding somebody
you
