let's talk now about setting goals of
all the things that really helped
transform my life when I was 25 years
old met my mentor that original mentor
mr. Rochelle goal-setting really did
wonders for me the subject came up when
mr. Scholl said to me mr. Owen
let me see your current list of goals
and he said let's go over them he said
I've got some experience and let's talk
about it maybe I can give you some help
and I said to him I don't have a list he
said well if you don't have a list of
your goals he said I can probably guess
your bank accounts within your bank
account within a few hundred dollars
which he did and that got my attention
so here was my response you mean to tell
me if I had a list of my goals it would
make a difference in my bank account he
said a drastic difference so that got my
attention I thought well I've got to
learn how to set goals and when I
learned it changed my life forever now
I've been teaching it now all these
years trying to help people get a better
vision of the future
okay so make this note the future is
where we're going you know the past is
where ever been presence is where we are
and the future is where we're going and
if we can capture this moment in time
from our past to now and then from now
to a future more well designed with
better objectives and better purpose for
ourselves our family our business our
investments everything else then this
this moment in time will have become
extremely valuable so let me give you
first what really affects us all
number one were affected by the
environment in which we live were
affected by the physical environment I
was challenged with back in the thirty
days ,why not make the environment better
everywhere you go I learned mama taught
you know turn off the lights when you
check out of your hotel and you leave
the room before you leave turn out the
lights and I thought why do that and
here's what she said to make a
contribution that's so easy Wow
and if you could make a contribution
that is so easy that didn't cost you any
money and didn't cost you any time you
know didn't cost you a piece of your
life why not make the contribution
that's easy because if everybody did it
think of how much we would conserve
someone says well yes the hotel benefits
if you turn out all the lights and
here's the answer that sophisticated
people always have who cares
who
benefits if it benefits the hotel and if
everybody did it probably the cost of
the hotel room would come down so every
benefit you can give every benefit you
can share because here's what happens if
you learn to give you will what receive
maybe not in the manner in which you
gave maybe not in light time someone
will save energy for you because you
saved energy for them but in some
mysterious ways it always comes back to
us if you give you will receive in fact
here's what it says that for the
uneducated is a little bit strange it
says it's better to give than it is to
receive now see if you didn't understand
you would say that doesn't quite make
sense surely it would be better to
receive and to give the answer's no it
is much better to give than to receive
and here's why it's what we call being
in having intelligent self-interest
nothing wrong with self-interest as long
as you do it the intelligent way here's
the key giving it's better to give than
it is to receive because giving starts
the receiving process so to act
intelligently
in your own self-interest which is good
it's much better to give than it is to
receive because if all of you do all you
do is receive that may be very limited
but if you give and giving starts the
receiving process coming your way from
unknown resources from unknown places
back it comes around to you because you
became a giver that's one of the unique
mysteries of life we give to receive and
it's better to give than it is to
receive so that's what mama said turn
out the lights make a contribution why
not make the easy ones here's what else
we talked about it at our lunch break
today to those who were there it raises
your self-esteem
plus your self-respect that you do
things that the average person doesn't
do maybe if they were taught they would
maybe if somebody mentioned it they
would but it's easy for most everybody
to just go on their way and if they're
not interrupted by a good idea that says
hey it's so easy to make a contribution
this one would be easy
turn out the lights when you leave the
hotel room and make a contribution
that's interesting
next is the phrase in terms of
environment always leave something
better than you found it I talked to a
man one time we rented out a long list
of of apartments and he said Mr on you
wouldn't believe it but when somebody
rents an apartment they usually leave it
worse than when they rented it I said
you've got to be kidding he said no a
high percentage of people leave it
trashed if they stay six months or stay
one year they leave it trashed not just
not better but trashed
I said that's impossible why would
anyone do that mama said to me no leave
it but better than you found it see
that's just a commitment to your own
self-esteem and why not do it if it
makes a contribution to your self-esteem
it's called intelligent self-interest
intelligent self-interest self-interest
says I wish to be ruler over many and
intelligent self-interest says I
understand how to do that be faithful in
the amounts or smile if you'll take care
of the few we will someday give you a
position of very high importance over
many but if you don't be disciplined
when the amounts are small why would we
trust you in the amounts or lives Brian
makes you better
why would you why would life give you a
fortune to manage if you couldn't manage
the gifts of a few interesting
philosophy to consider okay your own
self-interest leave the contribution I'm
even aware of it when I leave a
restaurant and I get me a toothpick
right and you take off the little
cellophane off the toothpick it's easy
to throw it by the cash register right
you're somewhere where looks like other
people have done the same mama said put
it in your pocket somebody sits along a
little piece of cellophane what
difference does it make it doesn't make
that much difference
only in your self-respect take your
trash home and deposit it how much does
it cost to clean up the trash on the
highways in America mega mega mega
millions wouldn't people take home their
own trash and deposit it there rather
than scatter it on the highways across
America and the answer is most people do
not it's so easy to throw it out the
window
but now add this it's so easy to keep it
in your car and have a few more points
in your favor on self-esteem feeling
good about yourself doing things that
most people don't do if everybody never
did it or a different country we would
have but it doesn't really matter you
say well if everybody's going to do it
watch your than I do it and the answer
is for your own dignity and for your own
self-esteem you do things that most
other people allow themselves to do that
you don't do
you
you
