00:00Let me just quickly give you a list of four emotions that can change your life in one day.
00:06Emotions are powerful.
00:08Sometimes it doesn't take much to alter your whole life direction.
00:18Okay, here they are.
00:20Number one, disgust.
00:23Powerful emotion.
00:25Disgust says, I have had it.
00:32See, that could be the day.
00:33The day you can say, I've had it.
00:37And whether you've had it with something small or something major, the day you can say, I've had it.
00:42May not be the day it ends, but the day it begins.
00:47That's what I said when that little Girl Scout left my door when I'm 25.
00:51I give her the big lie.
00:52She leaves.
00:53I say, I don't want to live like this anymore.
01:01I've had it with lying and being broke.
01:06Powerful day.
01:09The man's finally had it with mediocrity.
01:13He's had it with being a loser.
01:17He's finally had it with those awful sick feelings inside, knowing his wife is at the grocery store looking at
01:23two cans of beans, one mark 37 cents, one mark 39 cents.
01:26And the guy sick inside knows his wife's going to buy the 37-cent can, and she doesn't even like
01:32the brand.
01:34Do you know why she's going to buy the 37-cent can?
01:38To save two cents.
01:43The guy sick inside finally says, I've had it.
01:47Being on my knees in the dust looking for pennies.
01:50We're not living like this any more.
01:59Could be the day that turns your life around.
02:01The day you can say, I've had it.
02:08He walks into his closet and rips everything in it to shreds and says, I've worn this embarrassing stuff for
02:16the last time.
02:19And not only will I never wear it again, no one else will ever wear it again.
02:27Commit an act that says, I've had it.
02:33Powerful.
02:35Here's the next one.
02:36Decision.
02:39And decision-making is powerful.
02:42And it's emotional.
02:44That's those knots in the pit of your stomach, right?
02:46Waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, trying to decide.
02:52We sometimes call it inner civil war.
02:57What shall I do?
03:00Well, for progress, you must decide.
03:04The best advice I can give you came from a wealthy friend of mine who said,
03:09If it's easy, do it easy.
03:11If it's hard, do it hard.
03:13Just get it done.
03:18If you went home tonight and in the next few days cleaned up a whole list of decisions,
03:23that might furnish enough inspiration for the next 10 years.
03:28I found this out many times after you've decided, getting on with it is easier than deciding.
03:34Sometimes decision is the toughest part.
03:38Here's the next emotion.
03:39Desire.
03:40Wanting to bad enough.
03:44And I don't know how to tell you to want to.
03:46That's something you've got to come up with.
03:49There's two things I know about desire.
03:51Number one, it comes from inside, not outside.
03:54You don't send off for it.
03:58Number two, I know desire can be triggered by something.
04:05Who knows what it might be?
04:07Sometimes desire waits and sleeps for something to happen.
04:12Maybe it's a book.
04:13Maybe it's a song.
04:14Maybe it's a sermon.
04:15Maybe it's a lecture, a seminar.
04:18Maybe it's the conversation of a friend, a happening, an event.
04:24Who knows?
04:25The best advice I can give you is what I give my staff.
04:29It goes like this.
04:30Welcome every human experience.
04:34You never know which one is going to turn it all on.
04:39Even the bad experiences.
04:42Sometimes from the bitterest experience comes the greatest awakening.
04:47So let down the barriers.
04:48Take down the walls.
04:50The same wall that keeps out disappointment keeps out happiness.
04:56Let life touch you.
04:58Don't let it kill you, but let it touch you.
05:02Here's the last one.
05:04This one's powerful.
05:06Resolve.
05:08Resolve says I will.
05:11Two of the most powerful words in the language.
05:13I will.
05:15Benjamin Disraeli once said nothing can resist a human will that will stake even its existence
05:22on the extent of its purpose.
05:25Shortly put, I'll do it or die.
05:29See, that's powerful.
05:31That could be the day that turns your life around.
05:33The world has a strange way of stepping aside when somebody says, I'll do it or die.
05:40The man says, I will climb the mountain.
05:44They've told me it's too high, it's too far, it's too rocky, it's too difficult.
05:47It's never been done before, but it's my mountain, I will climb it.
05:51Pretty soon you'll see me waving from the top.
05:54Or dead on the side, because I ain't coming back.
05:58The best definition I ever got from the word resolve came from a little junior high girl
06:02in Foster City, California, up north.
06:05I'm talking to the junior high kids one day.
06:08I love to ask kids definitions.
06:10They come up with beauties.
06:12I got to the word resolve and I asked, who can tell me what resolve means?
06:17And I got several hands and they were all pretty good, but the last one was the best.
06:24A little girl, about three rows back, held up her hand.
06:27She said, Mr. Rowan, Mr. Rowan, I think I know what resolve means.
06:30I said, darling, what do you think it means?
06:32She said, I think it means promising yourself you will never give up.
06:39I said, that's it.
06:43Webster, stand aside.
06:45That is the definition.
06:49Promise yourself you will never give up.
06:53I asked the kids, how long should a baby try to learn how to walk?
06:59How long?
06:59How long would you give your average baby before you shut him off?
07:02How long?
07:05See, any mother in the world would say, you're crazy.
07:08My baby is going to keep trying until it learns how to walk.
07:11What a magic formula.
07:17Now, let me show you what triggers all emotions into activity that brings results.
07:22And results is the name of the game.
07:24Here it is.
07:26Action.
07:28Finally, you must do something about how you feel.
07:35Jesus, the master teacher said, don't just be listeners, be doers.
07:41The world admires the doers.
07:47Another Bible phrase says, faith without action is useless.
07:56Some people these days are big on affirmations.
07:59You've got to be very careful of affirmations.
08:01There's a thin line between faith and folly.
08:05The best clue I can give you on affirmations is this.
08:08Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion.
08:13And there's nothing worse than delusion.
08:16The guy keeps walking west looking for the sunrise.
08:19I mean, delusion is bad.
08:27However, affirmation with discipline can bring the most spectacular results.
08:36When the Jewish people surveyed the Holocaust at the end of World War II,
08:39and for them it was a Holocaust,
08:4339 million people lost their lives in World War II.
08:4719 million were Russian.
08:51But compared to the population,
08:52it was not quite the Holocaust visited on the Jewish people.
08:56Six and one-half million Jews perished World War II.
09:01Six and one-half million.
09:02That was a Holocaust.
09:04After Hitler's final solution,
09:06and the Nazi jackboots,
09:08and Eichmann and Bormann had done their evil task,
09:12six and one-half million.
09:16When the Jewish people counted the dead,
09:18surveyed the Holocaust,
09:20and mourned the loss,
09:23those that survived together said,
09:28never again.
09:31That was the affirmation.
09:34Never again will we take our families silently walk to the boxcars
09:40and let them ship us through the night to Auschwitz.
09:44Never.
09:47Well, that's good to make an affirmation.
09:49But the next question is,
09:51what are you going to do to back up the affirmation?
09:54They said,
09:55well,
09:56number one,
09:57we'll build a nation.
10:02Then they said,
10:04we'll build an army.
10:06Wow.
10:07And a Navy.
10:09My.
10:10And an Air Force.
10:14And we'll buy some bombs.
10:17My.
10:19And some bullets.
10:21Wow.
10:24We'll spend a big portion of the national treasure.
10:29We'll even spend some of Israel's finest lives.
10:31We mean it.
10:33Never again.
10:34That's called backing up affirmation with discipline.
10:41Does it work?
10:42Well,
10:43yes.
10:44They've been tested four times in war on their affirmation in the last 25 years.
10:49Four times,
10:50major.
10:52The next to the last war was called the six-day war.
10:58As if to say,
10:59didn't we tell you ever?
11:07Make sure you always have a game plan to match your wishes.
11:11Otherwise,
11:12they will always be wishes.
11:22The day that turns your life around.
11:25Let me give you four questions to take home when we're finished.
11:28These are called questions to ponder.
11:31And this wraps it up.
11:39Gosh,
11:39you've been a great audience tonight.
11:41How fantastic for so many people here.
11:44It's been unbelievable.
11:47I've really enjoyed it.
11:48I could talk all night,
11:50but I'm staying here,
11:53right?
11:53So I got a maid,
11:54right?
11:54And you've got some ways to go.
11:57Okay.
11:58Here's the questions I want you to take home.
12:00In closing.
12:01First question is one of the major questions of the world.
12:04Why?
12:05Why should you try?
12:07Why read that many books?
12:08Why go that far?
12:10Why earn that much?
12:11Why share that much?
12:12Why learn all that?
12:14Why get up that early?
12:15Why put yourself through that much?
12:17Why try for all that?
12:18Good question.
12:19Why?
12:21One of the best answers to why is the second question.
12:25Why not?
12:28What else are you going to do with your life?
12:31Why not see how many books you can read?
12:33How far you can go?
12:34How much you can earn?
12:35How many friends you can make?
12:37How much personality you can develop?
12:39Influence you can have?
12:40How many things you can accomplish?
12:41How far you can go and what you can see?
12:43Why not?
12:46You've got to stay here till you go.
12:50Why not?
12:52The third question is, why not you?
12:57Why not you?
12:58Some people have done the most incredible things with limited start.
13:04Why not you?
13:05Some people have done so well, they get to go, they get to see it all.
13:08They get to do it.
13:09They get to be there.
13:11They get to have it.
13:13They get to enjoy it.
13:14Why not you?
13:18Why not you watching the morning mist rise over the mountains of Scotland?
13:25Exploring the mysteries of Spain, soaking up history in London.
13:28Why not you?
13:30You got to take a stroll through the palace of Versailles.
13:35Why not you?
13:37You got to have lunch in one of those neat little sidewalk cafes in Paris.
13:42I mean, Denny's is okay.
13:44You got to try Farrah's.
13:48Someday you got to gaze directly at the Mona Lisa.
13:55I can show you where to find the most exquisite seashells in Miami and the Bahamas.
14:01I know where they are.
14:04Why not you?
14:06You got to shop on Fifth Avenue in New York.
14:10You got to stay at the Waldorf Astoria.
14:14Have dinner at Lou Chow's?
14:17Sliced roast goose on a bed of apple strudel.
14:22Why not you?
14:24You got to drink in an Arizona sunset.
14:28You got to see the world.
14:29You got to read the books.
14:31You've got to do the enterprises.
14:33You've got to be involved in commerce and love and travel and experiences.
14:38You got to do it all.
14:39Why not you?
14:40You've got to know the results that come from splendid discipline.
14:44There's nothing like a view from the top.
14:49And the last question is, why not now?
14:54Don't postpone your better future any longer.
15:00Get at it tomorrow with new vigor.
15:05Get you some new books.
15:06Ask some new questions.
15:08Set some new goals.
15:09Get you a new journal.
15:11Start your projects book.
15:13Get a game plan going.
15:15Do some more reading.
15:17Start to make changes.
15:18Have conversations.
15:19Make contact.
15:21And do it now.
15:23And if you will, I have a feeling one of these days we'll be hearing your story.
15:29You'll make us a phone call.
15:31Write us a letter.
15:32Get in touch with us and let us know what's happening to you.
15:35I want to thank you for being here.
15:37My final comment would be, ask for God's help.
15:40Help, which may sound a little strange coming from a strictly commercial company.
15:45We are not a religious order.
15:46But if you would allow me a personal word, that would be it.
15:48I think humans are unique, but we could all use a little help.
15:53But of course, you've got to do your part.
15:55That's what we've talked about mainly tonight.
15:56Do your part, and I think God will do his part.
15:58It's a two-way street.
16:01And we do play a part.
16:03There's a story about the man who took a rock pile in two years,
16:05turned it into a fabulous garden.
16:07People came from everywhere to see it.
16:09And one day a guy came by, saw the garden, thought it was fabulous.
16:12But he wanted to make sure the gardener didn't take all the credit.
16:16So to get his point across, he meets the gardener, shakes his hand, and says,
16:19Mr. Gardener, remember you and the good Lord together have this beautiful garden here.
16:25And the gardener said, hey, I understand that.
16:29I know what you mean.
16:30He said, if it wasn't for the sunshine and the rain
16:34and the miracle of the seed and the soil and the seasons,
16:37there would be no garden for sure.
16:39But he said, you know, you should have seen this place a couple of years ago
16:42when God had it all by himself.
16:46And I think that's true.
16:47We do play a part.
16:49I'm glad I was not an angel.
16:51I think humans have a lot more fun.
16:55You've made it a splendid evening, and I want to wish you the very best.
16:58Look forward to seeing you on the weekend.
17:01Make sure we get the little white slip of paper.
17:03And let's be in touch.
17:05I wish you the best.
17:06Good night.
17:06God bless.
17:13Appreciate it.
