purpose in life that's why they're

1:41
thoughts what's happening with you every
1:44
day when you get up have a journal near
1:47
you I use the Jack bowlan Journal so
1:49
that I can write down my ideas I keep it
1:51
by my bed so I can write down my
1:54
thoughts see ladies and gentlemen we get
1:57
three to four thoughts a year that if we
1:59
would act those thoughts they can change
2:02
our
2:03
life when you don't have a true
2:06
appreciation an acceptance for who you
2:09
are and you allow yourself to be
2:11
immobilized by fear what happens in the
2:13
process is that you begin to abuse
2:15
yourself you begin to sabotage your life
2:18
you begin to sabotage your dreams you
2:20
begin to unconsciously work against
2:23
yourself you become Your Own Worst Enemy
2:26
so what do you do about that well you
2:29
you begin to realize that your dream and
2:32
your gifts have so much meaning and so
2:35
much value for you till your hunger for
2:38
them will begin to push you past the
2:41
fear your hunger to have them will give
2:44
you a special
2:46
drive as you work on yourself as you
2:49
begin to acknowledge your true identity
2:52
the true power that you have the true
2:56
capacity you have to bring about change
2:58
the miracle working power that you have
3:01
within yourself to do the things that
3:03
you want to do when you take them on I'm
3:06
reminded of a man
3:07
who this
3:09
gentleman was doing a special study of a
3:12
special tribe in Africa head hunters and
3:16
he had difficulty in developing a
3:18
relationship with these tribesmen
3:20
because of the fact that he had fear he
3:22
had fear they would take his head so he
3:25
worked there for a long time with no
3:26
effort no progress in developing
3:29
relation ship and Rapport and being able
3:31
to achieve a level of trust so finally
3:35
one night while he was in bed he was
3:37
thinking about I said what what is it
3:39
that you came here to do what does your
3:40
life work as a missionary he said I
3:42
wanted to study these
3:44
tribesmen said what's the worst thing
3:46
that they can do to you kill you and he
3:50
just decided hey this is what I came
3:52
here to do I know that there's some risk
3:54
involved and I'm going to do it come
3:57
what me he said I'm not going to going
3:59
to be afraid anymore he went back the
4:02
next day and he started doing the work
4:04
and trying to talk to and interview many
4:06
of the members of this tribe and they
4:09
begin to respond to him they threw out
4:11
the welcome that to him and years later
4:14
when people came to see what his
4:16
progress was they asked him how were you
4:20
able to do this how did you convert the
4:22
relationship from being hostile to that
4:25
of being positive and he said something
4:28
I think has value for all of us
4:30
he said when life can no longer threaten
4:33
you with death he said what else is
4:36
[Music]
4:38
there and the majority of the fears that
4:41
we have are not life or death fears
4:44
they're not those kind of fears but
4:47
through our
4:48
imagination we blow them out of
4:51
proportion and we give them more power
4:54
than they actually have or
4:56
deserve and we permit them to govern Our
5:00
Lives we permit them to determine how
5:03
far we can stretch out on our dreams and
5:06
discovering our
5:07
stuff and as we begin to look at
5:10
ourselves and and begin to wait a minute
5:13
just getting to the point as you assess
5:16
yourself and and begin to prove yourself
5:19
and just say wait hold a minute hold a
5:21
minute I've been sweating this
5:24
out what can what's the worst thing that
5:26
can happen to me on this will it kill me
5:30
will I die wh why am I going through all
5:33
of these changes over this how much
5:36
power does this really have and am I the
5:38
one that's feeding the power into it see
5:41
a lot of times we we allow ourselves to
5:44
be fed and to be programmed to to being
5:46
afraid of you watch the news and read
5:48
the newspaper you''ll be scared to come
5:50
out the
5:51
house am I
5:53
right You' be
5:56
afraid so what kinds of things what
5:58
kinds of thoughts are you feeding your
6:00
Consciousness what kind of things are
6:02
you putting in your mind that will
6:04
enable you to either move forward or to
6:07
justify why you're staying where you
6:10
are I used to be a doorto door salesman
6:13
I had X number of TVs I had a minimum
6:16
amount that I knew I had to sell every
6:18
day in order to provide for my mother
6:20
who was Ill at the time who had lost her
6:22
job at the Eminem cafeteria because of
6:24
arthritis and I said I'm going to go
6:28
door too and some sometimes I would not
6:30
come home until 1:00 at night knocking
6:32
on people door people closing what do
6:35

6:36

special discount for you yes come in I'm
7:06
interested I would just keep right on I
7:09
would not go home until I did it it's an
7:13
interesting thing ladies and gentlemen
7:15
that when we put ourselves in a
7:17
situation where we say we're going to do
7:20
it it it puts you in another
7:23
Zone where the universe responds to you
7:26
when you have that kind of Consciousness
7:28
see the universe ver responds to the man
7:31
or woman that refuses to be
7:34
denied because that is your commitment
7:36
that business that you want that book
7:38
you want to write that dream that you
7:40
have of controlling your destiny that is
7:44
yours that power to create that and to
7:46
manifest that that is yours that's
7:49
available to you but you've got to be
7:51
willing to stand there and face
7:53
disappointment not have support be
7:56
lonely doubt yourself sometimes be re
7:59
rejected again and again and again
8:01
become bankrupt if necessary again and
8:03
again and again and refuse to turn
8:05
around until life gives it up nothing
8:09
can resist a person that has that kind
8:12
of commitment the people that have made
8:14
a difference on the planet when a John F
8:16
Kennedy said we will go to the
8:19
moon in the next decade he spoke it that
8:23
was a commitment and people shared that
8:25
Vision people bought into
8:28
that we've had had all kind of examples
8:30
in history where people have made
8:32
declarations who have committed their
8:34
lives to bring about a difference there
8:35
are people who taking a stand today
8:37
against hunger I guarantee you it will
8:40
be a part of our past at some point in
8:43
time someone took a stand against polio
8:46
it no longer plagues us as it once did
8:49
because someone said it is my commitment
8:52
to eradicate it from the face of the
8:54
Earth someone made the commitment the
8:57
reason that we're here and enjoy joying
8:59
a democracy that we have someone made a
9:01
commitment that whatever is required if
9:04
it means that I die I remember Paul
9:06
Roberson here I stand for I can do no
9:09
other and that's how you must be
9:12
commitment means standing up for your
9:14
life it means honoring yourself it means
9:18
it means beginning to say and to to see
9:21
and recognize your alignment and Oneness
9:23
with the universe and that you are a
9:25
channel for life to express through and
9:29
we short circuit it with anger we short
9:31
circuit it with
9:33
fear we short circuit it with with Envy
9:37
we shortcircuit it by being lazy or
9:39
apathetic or giving up easily why why
9:42
why we say oh it's too hard it's too
9:44
hard we don't challenge our spirit
9:46
ladies and gentlemen there's nothing as
9:47
powerful as the human Spirit you can't
9:50
destroy it you can pervert it but you
9:53
can't destroy I I was reading Man's
9:55
Search for meaning by Victor Frankle
9:58
what a powerful book I'm reading it now
10:00
for the seventh time and he gives so
10:04
many graphic examples of of the power of
10:07
the human spirit and so what are some of
10:10
the things that can can fortify us and
10:14
and give us the kind of inner strength
10:16
that will allow us to forward ourselves
10:18
into the future by manifesting our
10:21
commitments number one commitment means
10:23
in some cases going back to school
10:26
getting some training sitting up in
10:28
class with people younger than you
10:32
putting yourself in a position where you
10:33
don't know and that is awkward and
10:35
uncomfortable but because of your
10:37
commitment to develop yourself or to go
10:39
back to school to get a high school
10:40
diploma or to get a college degree that
10:42
it doesn't matter feeling dumb and
10:44
saying what am I doing here sitting up
10:46
in some boring
10:48
class commitment could mean a lot of
10:50
things it could mean that you begin to
10:52
go back you got to back up sometimes
10:55
means to back up and not give up to
10:57
regroup back up and regroup and come
11:00
back again because life has way laay you
11:03
because you got knocked
11:05
down I think that it's very important
11:08
that you start trusting yourself listen
11:11
to
11:12
yourself listen to that still Small
11:14
Voice Within you don't try and make
11:17
everything logical there are some things
11:20
about life that defies logic that you
11:23
just can't explain how the outcome is
11:25
going to be that once you begin to trust
11:28
yourself and your ideas and your
11:30
instincts life takes in a whole new
11:32
meaning because now I want you to do
11:34
that feeling that you are LED just feel
11:38
I am LED I remember the worst speech I
11:41
had ever given in my
11:43
life I let someone exploit a fear that I
11:49
had for years I had a tremendous
11:51
inferiority complex because I'm not
11:54
college
11:56
educated and this person knew this and
11:59
she said let me write this speech for
12:02
you you're going to speak at Ohio State
12:05
University those people are very
12:07
educated there and they're going to know
12:09
when you make grammatical errors and
12:10
they're going to know because of the
12:11
substance of your speech that you are
12:14
not literate I I care about you I don't
12:17
want you to embarrass yourself so this
12:20
person proceeded to write a speech for
12:22
me I had a speech in my mind but this
12:26
person was Stronger Than I Was
12:28
negatively than I was positive about my
12:30
own thoughts and I gave my power away
12:34
with my permission I allowed this person
12:38
to guide me to do something that I
12:40
really didn't want to do but I didn't
12:42
feel enough inner strength and
12:43
conviction about my skills as a speaker
12:46
and the message that I had to bring to
12:48
stick by my guns and I got up there at
12:52
the Ohio Union and I read this straight
12:55
speech and did not move and did not take
12:58
my eyes off the page because I'm not
13:01
accustomed to
13:02
reading and after I finished them people
13:04
gave me a standing ovation because I
13:06
read it extremely well and I was very
13:08
tense and I was very nervous ladies and
13:11
gentlemen don't give your power away you
13:13
don't need anybody to approve your dream
13:16
it was given to you if they can't see it
13:19
it's because it wasn't given to them it
13:21
was given to you hold it nourish it
13:24
cultivate it work on it it's yours it's
13:27
your baby work on it until it comes into
13:30
fruition I gave away my power and I said
13:34
I'm not going to do that no more here's
13:36
something else for those who make it
13:38
today do what you know is
13:40
right treat people like you want to be
13:43
treated don't try and take any shortcuts
13:47
don't try and cheat pay your dues up
13:50
front I believe ladies and gentlemen
13:53
what goes around comes around you can
13:57
pay now or or you will pay double later
14:01
so do the right thing there might be a
14:05
tendency sometimes because of the
14:07
negative part of our Consciousness and
14:10
our own programming for us to want to
14:13
say well I just do it this time it won't
14:15
matter won't nobody know ladies and
14:17
gentlemen everything matters and you
14:21
know you're somebody you
14:23
know I rather lose out on my dream doing
14:28
the right thing than the cheat trying to
14:32
make a shortcut to get to my goal I want
14:35
to be able to look myself in the mirror
14:37
and that's what you want to do there's
14:40
no saying judge a man not by what he
14:41
does but by that that he doesn't have to
14:43
do and to judge the true quality of a
14:45
man is what do you do when nobody's
14:47
looking see there's some good out there
14:49
for you in the universe that has your
14:51
name on it and nobody can get your good
14:55
it has your name on it they can't take
14:57
your stuff it's your
15:00
stuff so when you know that when you
15:03
know that whatever you're seeking it's
15:05
also seeking you you don't worry you
15:09
don't run scared you don't think
15:11
somebody's going to take it from you you
15:15
listen to your inner voice and you
15:17
always take the high road there will be
15:20
the tendency the natural inclination to
15:23
take the low road you must resist that
15:26
here's something else I encourage you to
15:28
do if you want to make it to
15:29
keep your
15:30
agreements keep your agreements that you
15:32
make and establish a network of people
15:36
who will also do that establish a
15:39
network of people in your life that you
15:41
can count on that will be there for you
15:44
when you need them and you be there for
15:47
them here's the other thing is you're
15:49
working on your dream a lot of people
15:50
have been calling me saying hey man I
15:52
read about you in Evony boy you're lucky
15:55
ladies and gentlemen let me tell you
15:56
something here's something else three PS
15:59
to have in your life and working on your
16:01
dream and doing your life work you must
16:02
be patient persistent and positive no
16:06
matter
