Arnold Schwarzenegger : "The most important thing is that you have a vision did you have a cord
because without that vision and without that core again you're drifting around
and you're never gonna end up anywhere people don't become successful just by
accident you know I mean maybe the guy that found gold in California and
started the gold rush but don't count on that that's the one in in a lifetime
kind of a situation so you got to really have a specific order to me to have that
vision that I want to be mr. universe they didn't want to be the greatest
bodybuilder of all time that was a great vision and that specifically to look
like reg Park and to be up down that stage and to lift the trophy overhead
and to win the championship over and over and over again so that was a great
call you have to have a coronary doesn't have to be that specific goal but it has
there some core this is why I always recommend to people sit down take your
time instead thinking about why do you want the workout what is your core
there's no question if you set goals and go after them with everything that's in
you your gifts will take you places where you could never begin to imagine
see one of the things I know about life if you're casual about your dream your
dream will end up a casualty you can't be casual about it you've got to be
willing to put yourself into it ao William said all you can do is all
you can do and all you can do is enough but make sure you do all you can do you
give enough people what they want they will give you what you want I can
remember as he is listening to Jim Rhon when the incomes for you let it find you
conquering a new mom not sliding down and old and unbeknownst
to me those messages you're programming my mind and it helped me to begin to
develop a mindset of possibility won't you think about your goals and dreams of
what you want to achieve what a personal level mine was to buy my mother home to
take care of her what is your goal what's your dream what is something that
you want to do with your life and I can say to you based upon my own experience
I don't even know you that it's possible that you have the ability to do more
than you can ever begin to imagine and and your your mindset is crucial as you
look at your goals and your dreams and having a spirit of optimism see a lot of
people are not really living their dreams and living the kind of life that
they are capable of living because of the fact that they have been inundated
with so many negative conversations have you ever had a golden dream of something
you want to achieve and you shared with people that you loved and thought
they'll be excited for you and they said to you you can't do that you know MIT
did a study the study indicated if I tell you you can't do that somebody else
has to come alone and say you can do it you can do it don't listen to him Ruby
you can't do it John don't listen to les you can do it they have to say that 17
times before they can neutralize that one time that's why my favorite book
says faith comes by hearing and hearing and hearing and so by listening to those
motivational messages every day when my mother went to do domestic work on my
it began to give me a sense of optimism of the possibilities of the kind of life
that I can live and I'm saying to you as you listen on a regular basis as you
begin to program your mind deliberately the reason that most people don't
achieve their goals is because they are thinking like everybody else sixteen
revolutionary words be not conformed to this world be transformed by the
renewing of your mind that's an on-going process what are your
goals what are your dreams ro Nightingale was right you don't get in
life what you want you get in life what you are and so you want to take the time
every day to listen to things that can help to program your mind positively
because I make end of the day if you don't program your mind it's going to be
programmed trust me it's going to be bombarded with all kind of hair trash
commercials I was at a service station pumping gas and a commercial came up at
me you get on the elevator and commercials are there you look at
billboards their messages is coming in over 5,000 10,000 messages on a regular
basis and so as you look at your goals and
dreams it's very important that you are intentional about controlling what goes
on in your mind because everything gets in through the eyes and through the ears
so what do you want what do you want for yourself what I'm doing right now I
didn't do it for 14 years you know why because I was suffering from possibility
blindness have you thought about doing something and you you looked at what you
wanted to do and your heart said I could do that and then your mind asked how
and then you start thinking well I can't do that I don't have a college education
I can't do that I don't have an MBA or a PhD I can't do that I've never worked
for a major corporation about why would corporations reach over people with PhDs
and MBAs and years of experience and pay me to come in to do something I've never
done I thought about doing this for years
and I talked myself out of it yes an African proverb that says if there's no
enemy within the enemy outside can do us no harm Shakespeare says the for dear
Brutus it's not in Our Stars but in ourselves that we are underlings and so
as you look at yourself and look at your goals and look at your dreams I'm saying
to you that it's possible because if anybody at any point in time had a goal
had a dream of what they wanted to achieve and they made it happen then
it's possible that you can do it too you've got to be intentional about
programming in mind so do some things that's very important I want you to hold
in mind what it is you want to do in your personal life what is it that you'd
like to do maybe you want to do something for someone you care about
I was the gold and dream that I had and I purchased four different homes from
our mother then what you think about your financial goal you know people say
money won't make you happy but everybody want to find out for themselves I have a
friend named Rita Davenport and Rita said you know buddy can't make you happy
you know but it's right up there with oxygen I agree with that what is it so
you look at your goals and dreams I want you think about you'll find out your
freedom number what does like that once you achieve that it will
alleviate a lot of stress once you achieve that let you have more time for
yourself and for your family you can go on that dream vacation you have been
thinking about Oh buy that dream car or home that you desire
once you earn that amount of money it would be like becoming debt-free I want
you to think about you'll find out your freedom number and then once you come up
with that number and I want you to write it down as you come up with that number
I want you to multiply it a hundred times yes a hundred times
read my lips a hundred times why because I found that most people fail in life
not because they aim too high and miss no most people fail in life because they
do what I did for a major part of my life
aim too low and hit and most people don't aim at all that's why this is
saying that if you don't know where you're going you'll end up someplace
else and so you are serious about your goals and dreams I can say to you that
you've got to affirm yourself you've got to tell yourself you've got to encourage
yourself that it's possible that you've got to talk to yourself on a regular
basis heat sometimes it's very important for you to hear this sometimes you have
to believe and somebody's belief in you until your belief kicks in and so when I
looked at myself and I looked at where I was what I said to myself Mike believes
in me he believes that I can do this and I'm saying to you as you look at your
goals and look at your dreams one of the things that's important and maintaining
of an achievement driven mindset in a spirit of optimism is having someone in
your corner having someone who believes in you having someone who can see what
you can't see see sometimes you can't see the picture when you
the frame that's why it's very important for us and have coaches people who can
encourage us who can inspire us you know Mohammed Ali said I'm the greatest but
he never won a championship without Angelo Dundee in his corner people say
that Michael Jordan what are the greatest basketball players of all times
but he never won a championship without Phil Jackson as his coach and so as you
work on yourself and work on your dreams I'm suggesting that you get someone in
your life that you can partner with someone that can see what you can't see
someone that when you feel you can't make it someone when you feel I can't do
this and they can give you a word of encouragement and will make all the
difference in the world but it's not over until you win over that inner
conversation that you have with yourself see there's some things that you can do
that you don't know right now and just because you can't see it doesn't mean
that it's not available to you my favorite book says eye has not seen ear
has not heard nor is in a heart of mankind what God has in store for you
there's some things that you can do that the heart can feel it can experience it
but the mind can't get itself wrapped around it and that's why I'm saying what
are your goals what are your personal goals what do you finance your goals and
what's your social contribution I believe we live in the greatest country
in the world that gives us an opportunity to leave a legacy hearts man
said we should be ashamed to die until we've made some major contribution to
humankind one of those I have as a 17 year cancer Conqueror is to let people
know you are more powerful than cancer one of those I have this is to reduce
the number of women who die from breast cancer my mother was a 22-year breast
answer conqueror one of the goals I have is to teach people everyday average
people outside of the church and outside of politics both of which I believe
polarize and divide people but ordinary people who want to live an extraordinary
life how to use their story how to use their voice to make a difference or use
their knowledge to to create a financial empire for themselves what's your goal
what's your dream what will your legacy be at the end of the day when you leave
here what are three things that you want said about you when you check out
because we're gonna all go nobody's figured out how to get out of life alive
a lot of people go through life not attempting to do anything big or major
with their lives because they are trying to play it safe
hello listen to me hello there's no safe position in life hello
there's no safe position you can't get out of here a lot you got to die anyhow
and people who believe that it's possible they can have their dreams
these are people that are daring Helen Keller said life is either a daring
adventure or it's boring decide but you're gonna make your life a daring
adventure decide to become a risk-taker this cartel if you're not willing to
risk you cannot grow and if you cannot grow you cannot become your best and if
you can't become your best you can't be happy and if you can't be happy
then what else is there listen I don't know you but here's what I know about
you based upon my own experience you have something special you have
greatness within you I don't give you look going through some tough times
right now you are greater than your circumstances what you are growing
through not going through what you're growing through will help you to become
a better person the periods in life and you have to realize that you have to
come to a place within yourself when you say I'm not going down like this I'm not
going out like this you've got to get to a place where you say I've had it I was
working on a job and they didn't like me and I didn't like them they paid me just
enough to keep me from quitting and I work just hard enough to keep from
getting fired it was a contract of mediocrity and and I got to the point
and this is when people change their lives I got to a point where I said hey
I've had it I'm out of here where are you going I don't know but I'm out of
here you bout to make me lose my mind up in
here up in here you got to make me act our food up in here up in here come on I
can say to you as you look at yourself look at your goals
look at your dreams what do you want to do it you
it's possible if anybody at any point in time in history had a goal had a dream
and made it happen then it's possible that you could have you go it's possible
that you could have your dream and as you look at yourself work on yourself
every day well less what about those negative thoughts you can't kill them
they're like little weeds they they keep falling coming back you can't kill weeds
let they grow through the cracks of sidewalks and and so you can overpower
those negative voices by listening to motivational programs by tuning in on a
regular basis to hear my voice by reading 10 to 15 pages of something
positive every day by going to seminars and workshops and member mesmerizing
yourself with material that can help you to begin to get a different vision of
yourself to change your whole approach of how you see life and it will help you
to get to that next level it help you to get unstuck and how does that happen
less it's a process I wish I could just tell you all you have to just think
positive and be enthusiastic in everything it's gonna work out all right
no no you can have a positive mental attitude and life put some nuts or
you're here life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you are
going to get when you have goals and dreams make it not strange that your
face The Fiery Furnaces of this world you will not you might you will have
tribulations but in the midst of it all it's possible it's possible friend of
mine he was he was facing a life-threatening disease in it said and
he fell it was possible even though his body was wracked with pain even though
he was diagnosed with cancer at 18 even though the doctors called his family and
and said he's not going to make it he held on because he believed it was
possible he was not just a statistic it was possible that if he had the faith
that he had the drive if he had the determination he could come through this
he said to himself this too shall pass and so it's possible you can live your
dreams and you have to work at that it's a moment a moment effort that you have
to work to train your mind to serve you you know the temptations have uh some
years ago just by imagination running away with me in the absence of
information our imagination will run away with us tell us that we can't do
things begin to panic it would make decisions based upon our fears as
opposed to our faith Zig Ziglar said the fears false evidence appearing real
faith is finding answers in the heart we heart is there your treasure is also
what do you love what turns you on what do you really
want in your life for your life how do you want to show up in the world how do
you want to use this gift call life has been said that life is is God's gift to
us and how we live our lives is our gift to God whatever your goals are your
personal goal your financial goal or this social contribution your legacy
your mark what you think about it and here's what I know then it's possible
here's what I know and if you think about it what you think about you bring
about if you're willing to put in the work it's possible if you continue to
encourage yourself continue to fall forward I've got to say when life knocks
you down try and land on your back because if you can look up you can't get
up you have something special you have greatness within you
your dream is possible that's my story sticking to
