[0:00]The best advice I can give you came from a wealthy friend of mine who said, if it's easy do it easy, if it's hard do it hard, just get it done. Shortly put, I'll do it or die. See, that's powerful. That could be the day that turns your life around. The world has a strange way of stepping aside when somebody says, "I'll do it or die." The man says, "I will climb the mountain. They've told me it's too high, it's too far, it's too rocky, it's too difficult, it's never been done before. But it's my mountain, I will climb it. Pretty soon you'll see me, waving from the top. Or dead on the side, 'cause I ain't coming back."
[0:50]Two of the most powerful words in the language, I will. Benjamin Disraeli once said, "Nothing can resist a human will, that will stake even its existence on the extent of its purpose." Promise yourself you will never give up. I asked the kids, how long should a baby try to learn how to walk? How long? How long would you give your average baby before you shut him off? How long?
[1:24]See, any mother in the world would say, "You're crazy. My baby's gonna keep trying until it learns how to walk." What a magic formula. Now, let me show you what triggers all emotions into activity that brings results. Action. Finally, you must do something about how you feel.
[1:51]Sure, make sure you always have a game plan to match your wishes, otherwise they will always be wishes.
[2:03]Jesus, the master teacher said, "Don't just be listeners, be doers." The world admires the doers. Another Bible phrase says, "Faith without action is useless." Some people these days are big on affirmations. You got to be very careful of affirmations. There's a thin line between faith and folly. The best clue I can give you on affirmations is this: affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion. And there's nothing worse than delusion. The guy keeps looking west looking for the sunrise. I mean, delusion is bad.
[2:54]However, affirmation with discipline can bring the most spectacular results.
[3:06]The day that turns your life around. Let me give you four questions to take home when we're finished. These are called questions to ponder. Okay. Here's the questions I want you to take home in closing. First question is one of the major questions of the world, why? Why should you try? Why read that many books? Why go that far? Why get up that early? Why put yourself through that much? Why try for all that? Why earn that much? Why share that much? Why learn all that? Good question, why? One of the best answers to why is the second question, why not? What else are you gonna do with your life? Why not see how many books you can read, how far you can go, how much you can earn, how many friends you can make, how many things you can accomplish, how far you can go and what you can see, how much personality you can develop, influence you can have. Why not? You got to stay here till you go. Why not? The third question is, why not you? Why not you? Some people have done so well, they get to go, they get to see it all, they get to do it, they get to be there. They get to have it, they get to enjoy it. Why not you? Some people have done the most incredible things with limited start. Why not you? Why not you? Why not you? You've got to be involved in commerce and love and travel and experiences, you got to see the world, you got to read the books, you've got to do the enterprises, you've got to do it all, why not you?
[4:52]You've got to know the results that come from splendid discipline. There's nothing like a view from the top. Last question is, why not now? Don't postpone your better future any longer. Get at it tomorrow with new vigor. Start your projects book, get a game plan going, do some more reading, start to make changes, have conversations, make contact, get you some new books, ask some new questions, set some new goals, get you a new journal, and do it now. My final comment would be, ask for God's help. I think humans are unique, but we could all use a little help. But of course you got to do your part. That's what we've talked about mainly tonight. Do your part, and I think God will do his part. It's a two-way street. You've made it a splendid evening and I want to wish you the very best. Look forward to seeing you on the weekend. Make sure we get the little white slip of paper and let's be in touch. I wish you the best. Good night. God bless.
[6:06]Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you.
