LES BROWN► I like what Zig Ziglar says he said fear is false evidence appearing real
that is an illusion that we create in our mind it is a state of mind that can
be changed so let's look at how we can begin to take some steps to restructure
that fear to begin to expand our visions of ourselves to begin to increase our
self-esteem Webster said that self-esteem means confidence and
satisfaction in oneself look at your life right now whatever you've done up
to this point in time your life is working whatever you have produced it
came out of you as a result of the kind of person that you have become as a
result of your choices it's a result of your consciousness now you have to ask
yourself are you satisfied with what you have produced is this what you want
would you like the things would be better than this do you believe that you
deserve better than this are you content this is it you don't have to do
everything else but you are ready to resign yourself in life so well I'm
happy I'm not starving like the people in Calcutta are you allowing yourself to
get off the hook like that or do you believe somewhere in the back of your
mind or in your heart but there's some other great work for you to do there's
something else that light has for you and that's why you're here how do we
handle this fear factor how do we increase our self-esteem you have to
begin to fortify yourself how do we do that I believe that you have to begin to
consciously monitor yours inner conversation and start talking to
yourself start building yourself up sometimes the only good things you will
hear about you are the things that you say to you young lady that was in the
audience this afternoon said to me I told myself yesterday for the first time
I'm proud of me and she said I felt good about that
so I'm saying learn to be your own booster stop building yourself up start
encouraging yourself start saying I can do this I can make this happen when I
started thinking about becoming a speaker I said yes I can do this I can
make this happen when I start trying to convince myself I can be a businessman
after flopping and failing and losing thousands of dollars and feeling stupid
and dumb and having people take advantage of me because of what I didn't
know I had to talk to myself because people are saying to me that I was dumb
and somewhere in the back of my mind I was saying you're right look at
what I've done I had to say no no no no no no no let's hey hey come on man get
your stuff together you can handle this you just haven't figured it out yet
it's alright this is your training period this is a tuition you have to pay
for what you don't know you can do this other people have done it doesn't take
an Einstein get you some people that can teach you some stuff that you don't know
get you some people that have done it successfully and learn from them
take some seminars workshop read some books on how to manage your business
change the way you see yourself and begin to attend to the personal details
understand that nobody's going to take care of your business better than you
and when I start changing that kind of mindset of beating myself up because of
my mistakes and start looking at the possibility of my doing better of my
making the adjustment that would enable me to do what I want to do successfully
things begin to change I say stop beating up on yourself you do do it I
know you do it I've done it it's a natural inclination for us to put
ourselves down see we have born negative I think in a negative consciousness
because we live in a negative world so you don't have to teach children to lie
there Lyle e did you wet in your pants no I did not
well what is that I don't know you don't have to encourage kids to misbehave they
will do it by themselves you don't have to encourage them to do the wrong thing
they will do it automatically you have to correct their behaviors so I'm saying
that we have to work through the challenges of life and learning how to
begin to work to fortify ourselves repeat after me please I can live my
dream I can find my purpose in life and live
my purpose I deserve more for myself I deserve more from life
shake somebody's hand on your riding lessons that you deserve more from life
- here's some other things ladies and gentlemen begin to guard your mind
against negative programming like turn off the television don't watch the news
don't watch it I think that that more people have a sense of hopelessness and
anxiety about life if you look at the news you cannot feel good looking at the
news you'll be scared to death you're scared to go to sleep I need to turn
your power down you've got to be conscious of that don't pick up the
newspaper and read it no no I'll just try this just experiment with yourself
now if your job depends upon your knowing certain things let somebody tell
you just about those things but stop filtering the stuff you'll learn to come
in your mind you know that song is that so don't let nobody bring me no bad news
I tell my staff look here don't tell me any bad news while I'm on the road let
me handle it tomorrow I'm like anybody tell me any bad news at night before I
go to sleep I can't do anything about it anyhow why let me go to sleep with that
on my consciousness no no a my staff they know that says that let it wait
till tomorrow and I have a period of time
tell me bad news between 10 o'clock and 12 noon after I prayed and meditated and
read my books I'm fortified I'm ready to handle it I deal with that I'm out of
there and I'm going on to something else so you've got to guard the kinds of
things that you put in your mouth if you don't program your mind your mind will
be programmed because human beings are goal oriented that's why we die of
broken hearts early that's why we're running through life too early grades
we're going through life ladies and gentlemen and I think that Henry David
Thoreau stated that most men live in quiet desperation most of us go through
life running scared Larry DNG who I think is gonna be one of
the greatest motivational speakers around today told me a story a true
story of a friend of his that everyday when he came home from school when he
would get to a certain block in his neighborhood there was a neighborhood
dog that would chase him and that dog would start after him barking bored he
would run just running from that dog every day every day finally he just got
tired of that dog chasing him every day this dog come around here Delma take a
brick ass of him bust him in here so he was walking home that
minding his own business sure enough same area there was that dogs the dogs
start barking he stopped running he saw a brick and he stopped and picked up the
brick and turn around and the dog got close to him he realized the dog didn't
have any teeth things that he put to break down he said get on it off my
whole way and ladies and gentlemen all our lives many of us go through life
running from things that ain't got no teeth that does any harm
I've been afraid to do something and then after you did it you say whoa if I
known it was this easy I would have done it before haven't you ever had that
experience raise your hand absolutely so we created this in our
minds false evidence appearing real we made it real in our minds that's why
Churchill said there's nothing to fear but fear itself
that's the destructive monster so turn off things that can contribute to your
fear turn a deaf ear to people that all they can do is talk about how negative
things off because they have bought into the consciousness of the world start
attending workshops seminars listening to tapes on a daily basis to begin to
recondition your mind to retrain your thinking faith comes by what hearing and
hearing and hearing listen to things that can empower you that can enable you
to create a new reality for yourself in a new life for yourself you might appear
to be strange around most people you know most people think you're strange if
you're happy today people say how you're doing I said better than good whoa
what's wrong with him just go around smiling and watch people look at is this
a weird guy over here because most people don't smile watch him look at
their faces in the morning here we go another Monday morning how you doing
haven't had my coffee yet don't ask me see these people have not found their
purpose in life that's why they are grumpy but that's why they're miserable
that's why they're so negative they're hurting and they want to hurt other
people so start practicing using programs for your mind seminars books
workshop keep a journal record your thoughts what's happening with you every
day when you get up have a journal near you I use the Jack Bowlin journals so
that I can write down my ideas I keep it by my bed so I can write down my
thoughts see ladies and gentlemen we get three to four thoughts a year that if we
would act on those thoughts they could change our life don't say well I'll
remember that no write that thought down I got a thought today I wrote down a
friend of mine is in the hospital his morale is low they're talking about
amputating his foot he's got to feel very bad so I said you know I'm gonna
I'm not only am I going to see him but I can't be there with him all islamists
that I'm going to create a tape for him that that he can listen to that will
in his level of morale we told him the other night don't go to surgery you are
depressed your energy level is down no no tell him not now don't do it now in
fact most doctors will have any sense of awareness don't perform surgery on
patients that in the state of fear but don't think they will make it they wait
till they're in a different state of mind so I said what about making tapes
for people that are facing physical challenges I said that's a good idea
