Let other people lead small lives but not you let everybody
else cry over small hurts but not you let everybody else argue
over non-essentials that, not you deal in things that matter,
make sure what you do is the product of your own conclusion.
Take advice, but not orders. Let everybody around, you be
helpful, but then put that through your own mental computer
and make sure what you do is the product of what you've concluded
based on all the input. All of us should be students of
inevitability without kidding myself.
If I keep up my current daily practices, where will it take me
in 10 years without being disillusioned?
I don't want to just cross my fingers and walk the wrong road.
I got to learn to look into the future called inevitable.
Human beings can alter the course of their life.
Human beings can live one way for five years, tear up that
script live a totally different way than next 5 years.
The first six years of my economic life, I wanted up broke
second, six years, I wound up rich.
Someone says, don't you have to do the second six years?
Like, you did the first six years in jot this down?
No, no. You don't have to live the
second six years. Like the first six, you can use
all the information and all the advice and repairing all of your
mistakes in adopting, a new and refined philosophy so that the
next six years can be totally different than the last six.
Now, here's the next, note to make five, Years from now you
will arrive. the question is where This is for mature people.
Now if you keep up your present disciplines and keep up the
present Pace, that you're on, where will you be in five years,
boy? It's easy to say, hey, I haven't
really thought about that. So now make this note in five
years, here's the probability, you will either arrive at a
well-designed destination or a nun.
Designed just a well-designed or undesigned.
And I promise you five years or no, you really don't want to
arrive at an undesigned destiny. Because you may very well wind
up wearing what? You don't want to wear driving.
Would you don't want to drive living where you don't want to
live? Maybe doing what you don't want
to do, simply because you didn't design a better destination.
Five years from now. I wish for you to arrive at a
well-designed place, a place of productivity place that'll make.
You feel good about yourself a place.
That'll give you honor and respect a place.
That will give you influence to touch other people five years
from. Now that you couldn't do today,
where will you be in five years? The first thing you start
changing as what? Your philosophy.
You start changing your mind. You start changing, how you
think, you start picking up new ideas and information gather,
new knowledge, make better decisions about what's valuable.
And I'm telling you, if you do that, your whole life will
change, your health, will change your relationship with your
family will change your ability to cope with challenges and
problems. With chains, I'm down your
income promotions, all of it will change.
If you will change, it will change.
If you won't change, it isn't going to change.
You can keep your fingers crossed if you want to and hope
they'll straighten it out. You can wish for the wind, not
to blow quite a severe, but I'm telling you wishing for the wind
to change in your favor. We we call naive at best, don't
do this, any longer wish for a better wind, the key is to wish
for the wisdom to set a better sale, utilize whatever wind
blows to take you wherever you want to go, that is the
philosophy. I picked up at age 25 and it
revolutionized my whole life. And here's what I found.
I found it was easy. I got rich.
By the time I was 31 and it was easy.
Now here's my definition of easy.
Gotta jump this down. My definition of easy, meaning
something I could do. I figure if it's something you
can do, it's easy. Now, here's a parentheses
parentheses. I worked hard at it.
I found something I could do which was easy but I worked hard
at it. I got up early and stayed up
late worked hard that six years. But what I did was easy, meaning
it was something I could do. You say, well, mister on, if it
was so easy, how come everybody else around you during that six
years? How come they didn't get rich.
Here's why it's easy not to How else would you describe it?
That's it. You say no.
No, we're all the rest of them. It was hard for them and it was
easy for you. That's not true.
You couldn't debate me on that front of this intelligent
audience. But here's the challenge.
Let me give it to you in the philosophical phrase.
I tend to be a little philosophical here.
It is the things that are easy to do.
Are also easy, not to do. That's the difference between
success and failure. So you've got the choice here
today of one of two. He's he's easy to or what?
Easy? Not to, I can give you in one
sentence. How I got Rick?
Both Thomas 31, here it is. In one sentence.
I did not neglect to do the easy things I could do every day for
six years. Underline I did not neglect.
That's the key I found something easy.
I could do that led to Fortune and I did not neglect to do it.
Major reason for not having everything you want in America.
Major reasons for not having more of what you want in America
more Health, more money, more power, more influence More.
Everything major reason why you don't get it, simple answer
neglect, Neglect. And here's the problem with
neglect, it starts as an infection and if you don't take
care of it, it becomes a disease.
And here's what else is the problem?
One, neglect leads to another neglect to do wise things.
With your money. You probably didn't get to do
wise things with your time, neglect, to do wise things that
your time and probably neglect to do wise things.
Would your business? One leads to another leads to
another pretty soon? Neglect, has you by the throat
emptying, your purse emptying your heart emptying.
All of your chances for equities and power and all the good
things neglect. What if you should be walking
around the block every day for your good health and you don't.
I'm telling you, you're on the wrong track, you should do it,
you could do it, you don't do it.
That's called formula for disaster.
All you got to do is let that and a few other things
accumulate for six years and now you're driving, what, you don't
want to drive, wearing what you don't want to wear living, where
you don't want to live, doing what you don't want to do, maybe
having become what you really didn't want to become.
I'm telling you that tip just neglect along drift along.
And it's Your brother throat. It'll take all your values leave
you with just a little bit of dust in a Summer Wind and it'll
soon be gone. I hope I said that.
Well, That's it. That's when I found myself at
age, 25 until my teacher came along and said Mr. Own up till
now, you've messed up. Let's see if we can't clean that
up. Change it all.
I did change my life, not just the money.
All the rest of the values that came pouring in when I
understood that it was me. It was me, we intend to when the
idea strikes us we intend to when the emotion is high.
But now if you don't translate that into action fairly soon,
now the intent start Diminish diminish, diminish and a month.
From now, it's coal year from now can't be found So act set up
a discipline when the emotions are high and the idea is strong
and clear and Powerful. That's the time to set up the
discipline. Somebody talks about good health
and your stirred right need to get a book on nutrition.
Get the book before the idea passes and we will go for the
emotion gets cold. Go for the book, start the
library. Start the process fall on the
floor. Do some push-ups action.
Got to take action otherwise the wisdom is wasted otherwise the
emotion soon passes, unless you put it into a disciplined
activity capture disciplines is called how to capture the
emotion, and how to capture the wisdom, translated in the equity
disciplines Now, here's what's important about discipline.
All disciplines affect each other.
In fact, here's a good philosophical phrase,
everything, affects everything else, nothing stands alone,
Don't be naive and saying, well, this doesn't matter, I'm telling
you everything matters. There are some things that
matter more than others, but there isn't anything that
doesn't matter. We all pity the man and says,
well, this is the only place I let down not through key to take
home every. Let down affects the rest of
your perform. Every let down affects the rest.
This is part of the educational process on personal development.
You don't take a walk around the block, probably won't do the
apple a day. You don't do the apple a day,
you probably won't consist, you know, start building your
library. You don't build your library,
you probably won't keep a journal and you won't take
pictures and you won't do this, won't do wise things with your
money, won't do wise things. With your time, won't do wise
things with your possibilities and relationship in the first
thing, you know, six years of that accumulated and we say, you
have Stop. So the whole key to reversing
that process now is to start picking up these discipline.
Now, here's the positive side, every new discipline affects the
rest of your disciplines. Every new one affects the risk.
That's why action is so important.
The least action, the smallest action take it because when you
start accomplishing in the value starts to return from that one
action, it'll inspire you to do the next one.
The next one, in the next, you start walking around the block,
it'll inspire you to get an Apple.
Get an Apple to inspire you to get a book, get a book, it'll
inspire you to get a jerk. Get a journal.
It was fire you to grow develop some skills, all disciplines
affect each other, every lack affects the rest.
Every new affects the wrist. The key is to diminish, the lack
and set up the new and you started a whole new life
process. Deep.
Also one more thought on discipline.
Here's the greatest value of discipline self worth.
Self-esteem. Peter teaching self esteem these
days but they don't connect it the distance.
The least lack of discipline and it starts to erode our psyche.
One of the greatest Temptations is to just ease up a little bit.
The slightest lack of doing your best starts to erode.
It's like, instead of doing your best doing, just a little less
than your best. Sure enough, you say, well,
let's just going to affect my sales know, it's going to affect
your Consciousness. It's going to affect your
philosophy now. You've begun in the slightest
way to affect your own philosophy.
Here's the problem with the least, neglect.
Neglect, starts as an infection. And if you don't take care of
it, it becomes a disease, one neglect leads to another and the
worst of all when neglect starts the diminishes, our self-worth,
our self-confidence, ourself out, you say, well, how can I
get back? My self-respect, I'm telling,
you don't have to go to 29 classes.
All you have to do is start the smallest discipline that now
corresponds to your own philosophy, like I should, and I
could, and I will No longer will I let neglect stack up on me so
that I will have the sorry scenario, six years from now
giving some excuse instead of celebrating my problems.
That's the key to dissipate.
