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 are because they have bought into the consciousness of the world.

Stop! 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 doing?" I said, "Better than good." Whoa, what's wrong with him?

Just go around smiling and watch people.

Look at this, there's 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.

laughter See, these people have not found their purpose in life.

That's why they're grumpy.

That's why they're miserable.

That's why they're so negative.

They're hurting and they want to hurt other people.

you So start practicing using programs for your mind.

seminars, books, workshops, keep a journal.

Record your thoughts, what's happening with you?

Every day when you get up, have a journal near you.

I use a Jack Bolin journal 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 can change our life.

you When you don't have a true appreciation and acceptance for who you are.

- Okay and you allow yourself to be immobilized by fear, what happens in the process is that you begin to abuse yourself.

you begin to sabotage your life, you begin to sabotage your dreams, you begin to unconsciously Work against yourself.

You become your own worst enemy.

So what do you do about that?

Well, you begin to realize that your dream

and your gifts

have so much meaning and so much value for you till your hunger for them will begin

to push you past the fear.

your hunger to have them will give you a special drive as you work on yourself,

as you begin to acknowledge your true identity, the true power that you have, the true capacity you have to bring about change,

the miracle working power that you have within yourself to do the things that you want to do.

When you take them on, I'm reminded of a man who This gentleman, was doing a special study of a special tribe in Africa, headhunters.

And he had difficulty in developing a relationship with these tribesmen because of the fact that he had fear.

He had fear they would take his head.

So he worked there for a long time with no effort, no progress.

in developing relationship and rapport and being able to achieve a level of trust

So finally one night while he was in bed, he was thinking about it.

I said, "What is it that you came here to do?

What is your life work as a missionary?" He said, I wanted to study these tribesmen.

So what's the worst thing that they can do to you?

kill you.

And he just decided, "Hey, this is what I came here to do.

I know that there's some risk involved." And I'm gonna do it.

come what may.

He said, I'm not going to be afraid anymore.

He went back the next day

and he started doing the work and trying to talk to and interview Many of the members of this tribe

And they began to respond to him.

threw out the welcome mat to him.

And years later when people came to see what his progress was, they asked him, "How were you able to do this?

How did you convert the relationship from being hostile?" to that of being positive.

And he said something I think has value for all of us.

He said, "When life can no longer threaten you with death, I said, what else is there?

Amen.

and the majority of the fears that we have are not life or death fears.

They're not those kind of fears.

But through our imagination, we blow them out of proportion, and we give them more power than they actually have or deserve.

and we permit them to govern our lives.

We permit them to determine how far we can stretch out on our dreams and discovering our stuff.

And as we begin to look at ourselves and begin to wait a minute, Just getting to the point

As you assess yourself and

and begin to prove yourself and just say wait hold a minute hold a minute I've been sweating this out What can, what's the worst thing that can happen to me on this?

Will it kill me?

Will I die?

Why am I going through all of these changes over this?

How much power does this really have?

And am I the one that's feeding the power into it?

See a lot of times we allow ourselves to be fed and to be programmed and to to being afraid of.

You watch the news and read the newspaper, you'll be scared to come out the house.

Thank you.

Am I right?

You be afraid!

So what kinds of things, what kinds of thoughts are you feeding your consciousness?

What kind of things are you putting in your mind?

that will enable you to either move forward or justify why you're staying where you are.

I used to be a door -to -door salesman.

I had X number of TVs.

I had a minimum amount that I knew I had to sell every day.

in order to provide for my mother who was ill at the time, who had lost her job at the M &M cafeteria because of arthritis. and I said

I'm going to go door to door and sometimes I would not come home until one o 'clock at night.

Knocking on people door, people closing.

What do you want?

Would you like to buy a nice working months television set and no money down?

No!

100

What about an Emerson TV?

101

No!

102

Thank you very much.

103

Do you know anybody else that would be interested?

104

No!

105

Thank you very kindly knock on another hello

106

and would you like to buy nice working television set no

107

money down now get away from our door thank you very kindly do you know anybody else would be Yeah, my cousin, he lives two doors down.

108

Thank you very kindly.

109

I tell him you sent me.

110

"When I hear your cousin told me that you wanted to buy a television set, told me to come here and talk to you, we got a special discount for you." "Yes, come in, I'm interested." I would just keep right on.

111

I would not go home.

112

Until I did it.

113

It's an interesting thing, ladies and gentlemen, that when we put ourselves in a situation where we say we're going to do it, It puts you in another zone.

114

where the universe responds to you When you have that kind of consciousness, see the universe responds to the man or woman that refuses to be denied.

115

Because that is your commitment.

116

that business that you want, that book you want to write, that dream that you have, of controlling your destiny.

117

That is yours, that power to create that and to manifest that, that is yours.

118

That's available to you.

119

But you've got to be willing to stand there and face disappointment, not have support.

120

Be lonely, doubt yourself sometimes.

121

Be rejected again and again and again.

122

Become bankrupt if necessary, again and again and again.

123

And refuse to turn around until life gives it up.

124

Nothing can resist a person.

125

that has that kind of commitment.

126

the people that have made a difference on the planet.

127

When John F.

128

Kennedy said, "We will go to the moon." And the next decade!

129

He spoke it, that was a commitment and people shared that vision.

130

People bought into that.

131

We've had all kind of examples in history where people have made declarations, who have committed their lives to bring about a difference.

132

There are people who are taking a stand today against hunger.

133

I guarantee you, it will be a part of them.

134

I'll pass at some point in time someone took a stand against polio it no longer plagues us as it once did.

135

Because someone said It is my commitment to eradicate it from the face of the earth.

136

Someone made the commitment.

137

The reason that we're here and enjoying the democracy that we have.

138

Someone made a commitment that whatever is required If it means that I die, I remember Paul Robeson, here I stand for I can do no other.

139

And that's how you must be.

140

Commitment means standing up for your life.

141

It means honoring yourself.

142

It means beginning to say and to see and recognize your alignment and oneness with the universe.

143

and that you are a channel for life to express through.

144

And we short -circuited with anger.

145

We short -circuited with fear.

146

We short -circuited with with envy.

147

We short -circuited by being lazy or apathetic or giving up easily.

148

Why?

149

Why?

150

Why?

151

We say, oh, it's too hard.

152

It's too hard.

153

We don't challenge our spirit.

154

Ladies and gentlemen, there's nothing as powerful as the human spirit.

155

You can't destroy it.

156

You can pervert it.

157

but you can't destroy how as reading man search for meaning by Victor Frankl.

158

What a powerful book.

159

I'm reading it now for the seventh time.

160

And he gives so many graphic examples of the power of the human spirit.

161

And so what are some of the things that can fortify us

162

and give us the kind of inner strength that will allow us to forward ourselves into the future?

163

by manifesting our commitments.

164

Number one, commitment means in some cases, going back to school, getting some training, setting up in classes with people younger than you,

165

putting yourself in a position where you don't know and that is awkward and uncomfortable, but because of your commitment to develop yourself

166

or to go back to school and get a high school diploma or to get a college degree, that it doesn't matter, feeling dumb and saying, what am I doing here, setting up in some boring class?

167

Commitment can mean a lot of things.

168

It could mean that you begin to go back.

169

You got to back up sometimes.

170

means to back up and not give up, to regroup, back up and regroup and come back again.

171

Because life has waylaid you, because you got knocked down.

172

I think that it's very important that you start trusting yourself.

173

Listen to yourself.

174

Thank you.

175

Listen to that still small voice within you.

176

Don't try and make everything logical.

177

There's some things about life that defies logic, that you just can't explain how the outcome is going to be.

178

that once you begin to trust yourself and your ideas and your instincts

179

Life takes on a whole new meaning because now I want you to do that feeling that you are led.

180

Just feel, I am led.

181

I remember the worst speech I had ever given in my life.

182

I left someone Explored a fear that I had.

183

For years I had a tremendous inferiority complex because I'm not college educated.

184

and this person knew this And she said, let me write this speech for you.

185

You're going to speak at Ohio State University.

186

Those people are very educated there, and they're going to know when you make grammatical errors, and they're going to know because of the substance of your speech that you are not literate.

187

I care about you.

188

I want you to embarrass yourself.

189

So this person proceeded to write a speech for me.

190

I had a speech in my mind.

191

But this person was stronger than I was negatively than I was positive about my own thoughts.

192

And I gave my power away.

193

With my permission, I allowed this person

194

to guide me to do something that I really didn't want to do

195

but I didn't feel enough inner strength and conviction

196

about my skills as a speaker and the message that I had to bring to stick by my guns.

197

And I got up there

198

at the Ohio Union

199

And I read this straight speech and did not move

200

and did not take my eyes off the page because I'm not accustomed to reading.

201

And after I finished, some people gave me a standing ovation because I read it extremely well and I was very tense.

202

And I was very nervous.

203

Ladies and gentlemen, don't give your power away.

204

You don't need anybody to approve your dream.

205

It was given to you.

206

If they can't see it, it's because it wasn't given to them.

207

It was given to you.

208

Hold it, nourish it, cultivate it, work on it.

209

It's yours, it's your baby.

210

Work on it until it comes into fruition.

211

I gave away my power and I said, I'm not going to do that no more.

212

Here's something else for those who make it today.

213

Do what you know is right.

214

treat people like you want to be treated Amen.

215

Don't try and take any shortcuts.

216

Don't try and cheat.

217

Pay your dues up front.

218

I believe, ladies and gentlemen, what goes around, comes around.

219

You can pay now, or you will pay double later.

220

So do the right thing.

221

There might be a tendency sometimes because of the negative part of our consciousness and our own programming

222

for us to want to say, "Well, I'll just do it this time." It won't matter, won't nobody know.

223

Ladies and gentlemen, everything matters.

224

And you know you're somebody.

225

You know.

226

I'd rather lose out on my dream Doing the right thing.

227

Then the cheat trying to make a shortcut to get to my goal.

228

I want to be able to look myself in the mirror.

229

And that's what you want to do.

230

There's no saying, "judge a man not by what he does, but by that that he doesn't have to do."

231

And to judge a true quality of a man is what do you do when nobody's looking.

232

See, there's some good out there for you in the universe that has your name on it.

233

And nobody can get your good.

234

It has your name on it.

235

They can't take your stuff.

236

It's your stuff.

237

So when you know that, When you know that whatever you're seeking it's also seeking you.

238

You don't worry.

239

You don't run scared.

240

You don't think somebody's gonna take it from you!

241

You listen to your inner voice and you always take the high road.

242

There will be the tendency, the natural inclination to take the low road.

243

You must resist that.

244

Here's something else I encourage you to do if you want to make it today.

245

Keep your agreements.

246

Keep your agreements that you make and establish a network of people who will also do that.

247

Establish a network of people in your life that you can count on.

248

that will be there for you when you need them.

249

and you be there for them.

250

Here's the other thing is working on your dream.

251

A lot of people have been calling me saying, "Hey, man, I read about you in Ebony." Boy, you're lucky!

252

Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you something.

253

Here's something else.

254

three P's to have in your life and working on your dream

255

and doing your life work you must be patient and persistent and positive no matter what.
