the things that are easy to do are also
easy not to do that's the difference
between success and failure
you should be feeling like there's
absolutely nothing you can't accomplish
nothing
I don't care test I don't care what it
is whatever you're going through in your
life you should feel like you could beat
it all right
the day you become convinced then you
stop devaluing yourself
the day you stop growing the day you
stop getting better is the day you die
is the day the person who's trying to
catch you will get you if you're not
where you want to be is because you're
not who you need to be right now and
dreaming and hoping is not going to
change your situation I'm not saying
there's anything wrong with dreaming
we'll talk about that I'm not talking
about you know not having a vision you
have a vision but listen to me you want
where you are because of who you are and
if you're going to get somewhere else
you gonna have to change
[Music]
you can be an app you can do whatever
you want but you gonna have to free
yourself and stop being a victim and
waiting for somebody else to open up an
opportunity for you to open up that door
for you to do for you if you don't do
for yourself I apologize I apologize I
wish they would man up and tell you what
they need to tell you your boss would
say they sorry whoever owes you an
apology but trust me you might die I
never get one and if you waiting on that
you might be in a hostage situation for
the rest of your life your dream will
not become a reality
until you shift from not important to
someone important to very important to
an emergency
you hear me some of you have been
knocked out by life and you got up and
saw the blood sometimes in life you have
to hit back it's not always gonna be
easy they're not gonna give it to you
they're not going to give you success
they're not gonna put it on the platter
but if you're willing to work for it if
you want to put the sweat the blood the
tears if you're willing to earn it they
don't give away
Bentley's they're never on sale if you
want one you can buy it if you're
willing to pay for
[Music]
some of you your successes messed you up
you so successful now you saw your
success has not benefited you you've not
grown as a result of being successful
you lost your bike you're not hungry
anymore your success is damaging you
every time you come up to a challenge
you give up you give in every single
thing I go do I remember I was homeless
and I draw from it every single time I'm
going through pain I remember that I've
gone through pain since I was a kid I
draw from it recycle your pain get
something from it you already in pain
you should do something with it allow it
to take you to the next level
allow your pain to push you to greatness
I challenge you I challenge you I
challenge you to be the best you can be
[Music]
now mr. show if my teacher gave me a
promise and I want to give you that
promise now here was the promise I got
and I bring it to you here's what my
teacher said if you will change mr.
Rowan he said if you will change
everything will change for you you don't
have to change the government you don't
have to change prices you don't have to
change taxes forget all that he said if
you will change everything will change
for you and the first thing you start
changing is 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 if
you'll 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 powers will change I'm
telling you income promotions all of it
will change if you will change it'll all
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 as severe but I'm telling you
wishing for the wind to change in your
favor 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 sail utilize whatever wind to
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
got a jerk this down my definition of
easy meaning something I could do I
[Music]
figure if it's something you can do it's
easy now here's a parenthesis
parenthesis 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
mr. Owen 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 for all of 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 in front
of this intelligent audience so you've
got the choice here today of one of two
easy easy - easy not to I can give you
in one sentence how I got rich for the
time I was 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
made your reason for not having
everything you want in America major
reasons we're 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 with your time we're
probably neglect to do wise things with
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
tellin 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've 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
that's it
just neglect along drift along and it's
got you by the 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. Owen 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 so
take the easy approach this stuff's easy
to figure out getting rich is easy I
teach it to teenagers how to be rich by
40 35 if you're extra bright this stuff
is not difficult greatness is about
making things better
greatness is about getting better you
know when we were kids granny used to
say good better best and never let it
rest until your good is better and your
better is best you know so for me
greatness is about nobody knows Eric
Thomas nobody knows what I'm capable of
but I know what I'm capable of and
getting better every single day never
saying well I got a PhD so I'm finished
you know well I've got a video of a few
videos that went viral most people have
never done that I'm doing good I wrote
three books I'm good no no Eric you know
you know at the end of the day when you
lay your head down asleep
you know when you
giving your best you know when you've
gotten better and and and greatness is
challenging the today you and the future
you saying you can give better you're
grinding or money grinding on Tuesday
grinding on Wednesday if you're driving
six seven days a week for span of five
or six years something's got to come out
of it and I think we would spend more
time on what's my goal you know and
meaning what do I need to accomplish in
this day to live this lifestyle and you
go after it and I'm not saying you
should have goals I just think that
goals for people is too high on the
priority list and I think what should be
on the priority list is we want to be so
you can wake up the next day and you can
grind it out it's possible I can do this
I can make this happen no matter how bad
it is or how bad it gets I'm going to
make it it's possible yes your dream is
possible say that to yourself every day
feed your mind with words that you write
in words that you hear and words that
you speak to yourself feed your faith
and your doubts will starve to death
say to yourself it's possible
it's possible it's possible even when
you have no evidence to point to say to
yourself it's easy there's nothing as
powerful as a maid it's a struggle some
time to do that especially when you have
people around you telling you that it's
not possible that you can't do it and
they're constantly pointing out your
failures of the past constantly
reminding you of all of the things that
you don't have going for you I'm
reminded of the story of the tool boys
were that were playing in on some ice
during the winter and and and as they
got further out on this ice one fell
through the the thin ice and and so the
little fellow that was still on top of
the ice he was trying to save his little
buddy and he couldn't reach him he was
trying to pull him he could see him
through the thin ice as it got further
away from him struggling and and he
couldn't reach him and is trying to
break the ice and he couldn't do it he
looked around and he saw a tree in the
distance in Iran and in he got up on the
tree and he pulled and broke down an
enormous sized branch and came back and
and savagely begin to beat that ice and
broke it and and miraculously he saved
his friend and when the paramedics came
and they were able to revive this little
boy
they were scratching their heads to turn
to figure this out said how could this
little pruning fellow go up in a tree
and break off a branch this size and
then come back and beat and break the
ice and save his friend they thought it
was just miraculous baffling and an old
guy who was there said I can tell you
how he did and they said how they do it
and is that there was no one here to
tell him what could you do what could I
do look if all of us do if we did not
have the naysayers in our lives that
that we believe naively like that little
boy that it was possible what would you
do if if failure was not on the table
you
