0:00Let me just quickly give you a list of
0:01four emotions that can change your life
0:03in one day.
0:06Emotions are powerful.
0:09Sometimes it doesn't take much to alter
0:11your whole life direction.
0:18Okay, here they are. Number one,
0:21disgust.
0:23Powerful emotion. Disgust says, "I have
0:29had it."
0:32See, that could be the day. The day you
0:34can say, "I've had it."
0:37And whether you've had it with something
0:38small or something major, the day you
0:41can say, "I've had it," may not be the
0:43day it ends, but the day it begins.
0:47That's what I said when that little girl
0:49scout left my door when I'm 25. I give
0:52her the big lie. She leaves. I say, "I
0:55don't want to live like this any more.
1:01I've had it with lying and being broke."
1:06Powerful day.
1:09The man's finally had it with
1:12mediocrity.
1:14He's had it with being a loser.
1:17He's finally had it with those awful
1:19sick feelings inside, knowing his wife
1:21is at the grocery store looking at two
1:23cans of beans. One marked 37 cents, one
1:26mark 39 cents. And the guy sick inside
1:28knows his wife's going to buy the 37
1:30cent can. And she doesn't even like the
1:32brand.
1:34Do you know why she's going to buy the
1:3537 cent can?
1:38To save two sin.
1:43The guy sick inside finally says, "I've
1:46had it." Being on my knees in the dust
1:49looking for pennies. We're not living
1:51like this [music] any
1:54moment.
1:59Could be the day that turns [music] your
2:00life around. The day you can say, "I've
2:03had it."
2:08He walks into his closet and rips
2:10[music] everything in it to shreds and
2:13says, "I've worn this embarrassing stuff
2:16for the last time.
2:19And not only will I never wear it again,
2:22no one else
2:24will ever wear it again."
2:27Commit an act that says,
2:30"I've
2:32had it."
2:33Powerful. Here's the next one. decision
2:39and decision-m is powerful
2:42and it's emotional. That's those knots
2:44in the pit of your stomach, right?
2:46Waking up in the middle of the night in
2:48a cold sweat trying to decide.
2:52We sometimes call it inner civil war.
2:57What shall I do?
3:00Well, for progress, you must decide.
3:05The best advice I can give you came from
3:06a wealthy friend of mine who said, "If
3:09it's easy, do it easy. If it's hard, do
3:12it hard. Just get it done."
3:19If you went home tonight and in the next
3:21few days cleaned up a whole list of
3:23decisions, that might furnish enough
3:25inspiration for the next 10 years.
3:29I found this out many times after you've
3:31decided. Getting on with it is easier
3:33than deciding. Sometimes decision is the
3:35toughest part.
3:38Here's the next emotion. Desire. Wanting
3:41to bad enough.
3:44And I don't know how to tell you to want
3:46to. That's something you've got to come
3:47up with.
3:49There's two things I know about desire.
3:51Number one, it comes from inside, not
3:53outside. You don't send off for it.
3:59Number two, I know desire can be
4:02triggered
4:04by something. Who knows what it might
4:06be? Sometimes desire waits and sleeps
4:09for something to happen.
4:12Maybe it's a book, maybe it's a song,
4:15maybe it's a sermon, maybe it's a
4:16lecture, a seminar, maybe it's the
4:19conversation of a friend, a happening,
4:22an event.
4:24Who knows? The best I can advice I can
4:27give you is what I give my staff. It
4:29goes [music] like this. Welcome every
4:32human experience.
4:34You never know which one is going to
4:36turn [music] it all on.
4:39Even the bad experiences.
4:42Sometimes from the bitterest experience
4:44comes the greatest awakening.
4:47So let down the barriers. Take down the
4:49walls. The same wall that keeps out
4:51disappointment keeps out happiness.
4:56Let life touch you. Don't let it kill
4:58you, but let it touch you.
5:03Here's the last one. This one's
5:05powerful. Resolve.
5:08Resolve says, "I will." Two of the most
5:11powerful words in the language. I will.
5:16Benjamin Draeli once said, "Nothing can
5:18resist a human will that will stake even
5:22its existence [music] on the extent of
5:23its purpose."
5:26Shortly put, "I'll do it or die."
5:29See, that's powerful. That could be the
5:31day that turns your life around. The
5:33world has a strange way of stepping
5:35aside when somebody says, "I'll do it or
5:37die."
5:40The man says, "I will climb the
5:43mountain. They've told me it's too high.
5:45It's too far. It's too rocky. It's too
5:47difficult. It's never been done before.
5:49But it's my mountain. I will climb it.
5:51Pretty soon you'll see me waving from
5:53the top or dead on the side cuz I ain't
5:56coming back. The best definition I ever
5:59got from the word [music] resolve came
6:01from a little junior high girl in Foster
6:03City, California, up north. I'm talking
6:06to the junior high kids one day. I love
6:09to ask kids definitions. They come up
6:10with beauties.
6:13I got to the word resolve and I asked,
6:15"Who can tell me what resolve means?"
6:18And I got several hands and they were
6:20all pretty good, but the last one was
6:23the best. Little girl about three rows
6:26back held up her hand. She said, "Mr.
6:27Ran, Mr. Ron, I think I know what
6:29resolve means." I said, "Darling, what
6:31do you think it means?" She said, "I
6:33think it means
6:35promising yourself you will never give
6:37up."
6:39I said that's it.
6:43Webster, stand aside. That is the
6:47definition.
6:49Promise yourself you will never give up.
6:53I asked the kids, "How long should the a
6:55baby try to learn how to walk?"
6:59How long? How long would you give your
7:00average baby before you shut him off?
7:02How long?
7:05See, any mother in the world would say,
7:07"You're crazy. My baby's going to keep
7:09trying until it learns how to walk. What
7:11a magic formula.
7:17Now, let me show you what triggers all
7:19emotions into activity that brings
7:21results. And results is the name of the
7:24game. Here it is.
7:27Action.
7:28Finally, you must do something about how
7:31you feel.
7:36Jesus the master teacher said, "Don't
7:38just be listeners, be doers." The world
7:42admires the doers.
7:48Another Bible phrase says, "Faith
7:50without action is useless."
7:57Some people these days are big on
7:58affirmations. You got to be very careful
7:59of affirmations. There's a thin line
8:02between faith and folly.
8:05The best clue I can give you on
8:06affirmations is this. Affirmation
8:08without discipline is the beginning of
8:11delusion.
8:13And there's nothing worse than delusion.
8:17The guy keeps walking west looking for
8:18the sunrise. I mean, delusion is bad.
8:26However,
8:28affirmation with discipline can bring
8:30the most spectacular
8:32results.
8:36When the Jewish people surveyed the
8:38Holocaust at the end of World War II,
8:40for them it was a holocaust.
8:4339
8:44million people [music] lost their lives
8:46World War II. 19 million were Russian,
8:51but compared to the population, it was
8:53not quite the Holocaust visited on the
8:55Jewish people.
8:576 and 12 million Jews [music] perished
8:59World War II. 6 and 12 million. That was
9:03a Holocaust after Hitler's final
9:05solution and the Nazi jack boots and
9:09Aishman and Borman had done their evil
9:11task. Six and 1/2 million.
9:16When the Jewish people counted the dead,
9:18surveyed the Holocaust,
9:21and mourned the loss, those that
9:24survived together said,
9:28"Never again."
9:32That was the affirmation. [music]
9:34Never again will we take our families
9:38silently walk to the box cars and let
9:40them ship us through the night to
9:42Ashvitz.
9:44Never.
9:48Well, that's good to make an
9:49affirmation, but the next question is,
9:51what are you going to do to back up the
9:53affirmation?
9:55They said, "Well, number one, we'll
9:58build a nation."
10:03Then they said, "We'll build an army."
10:06Wow. And a navy.
10:09My and an air force.
10:15And we'll buy some bombs. My
10:20bullets. Wow.
10:24We'll spend a big portion of the
10:26national treasure.
10:29We'll even spend some of Israel's finest
10:31lives. We mean it. Never again. That's
10:35called backing up affirmation with
10:38discipline.
10:42Does it work? Well, yes. They'd been
10:44tested four times in war on their
10:47affirmation in the last 25 years. Four
10:50times major.
10:53The next to the last war was called the
10:55six day war.
10:58as if to say, "Didn't we tell you ever?"
11:07Make sure you always have a game plan to
11:10match your wishes. Otherwise, they will
11:13always be wishes.
11:22The day that turns your life around.
11:26Let me give you four questions to take
11:27home when we're finished. These are
11:29called questions to ponder.
11:32And this wraps it up.
11:39Gosh, you've been a great audience
11:40tonight. How fantastic for so many
11:42people here. It's been unbelievable.
11:47I've really enjoyed it. I could talk all
11:49night, but
11:52>> I'm staying here, right? So, I got a
11:54maid, right? and you got some uh ways to
11:56go.
11:57Okay, here's the questions I want you to
12:00take home in closing. First question is
12:02one of the major questions of the world.
12:04Why?
12:06Why should you try? Why read that many
12:08books? Why go that far? Why earn that
12:11much? Why share that much? Why learn all
12:13that? Why get up that early? Why put
12:16yourself through that much? Why try for
12:18all that? Good question. Why?
12:21One of the best answers to why is the
12:23second question
12:25why not?
12:29What else are you going to do with your
12:30life? Why not see how many books you can
12:33read, how far you can go, how much you
12:35can earn, how many friends you can make,
12:37how much personality you can develop,
12:39influence you can have, how many things
12:40you can accomplish, how far you can go
12:42and what you can see. Why not?
12:46You got to stay here till you go.
12:50Why not?
12:52The third question is why not you?
12:58Why not you? Some people have done the
13:00most incredible things with limited
13:01start.
13:04Why not you? Some people have done so
13:07well they get to go. They get to see it
13:08all. They get to do it. They get to be
13:10there.
13:12They get to have it. They get to enjoy
13:13it. Why not you?
13:18Why not you watching the morning mist
13:20rise over the mountains of Scotland?
13:25Exploring the mysteries of Spain,
13:26soaking up history in London. Why not
13:29you? You got to take a stroll through
13:32the palace of Versailles.
13:35Why not you?
13:38You got to have lunch in one of those
13:39neat little sidewalk cafes in Paris.
13:43I mean, Denny's is okay, but you got to
13:45try Paris.
13:48Someday you got to gaze directly [music]
13:51at the Mona Lisa.
13:55I can show you where to find the most
13:57exquisite seashells in Miami
14:00and the Bahamas. I know where they are.
14:04Why not you? You got to shop on Fifth
14:07Avenue in New York. You got to stay at
14:11the Waldorf Estoria.
14:15Have dinner at Lucha's sliced roast
14:18goose on a bed of apple [music] strut.
14:23Why not you? You got to drink in an
14:25Arizona sunset.
14:28You got to see the world. You got to
14:30read the books. You've got to do the
14:32enterprises. You've got to be involved
14:34in commerce and love and travel and
14:37experiences. You got to do it all. Why
14:40not you? You've got to know the results
14:42that come from splendid discipline.
14:44There's nothing like a view from the
14:46top.
14:50And the last question is, why not now?
14:55Don't postpone your [music] better
14:57future any longer.
15:00Get [music] at it tomorrow with new
15:04vigor. Get you some new books. Ask some
15:07new questions. Set some new goals. Get
15:10you a new journal.
15:12Start your projects book. Get a game
15:14plan going. Do some more reading. Start
15:17to make changes. Have conversations.
15:20Make contact. And do it now.
15:24And if you will, I have a feeling one of
15:27these days we'll be hearing your story.
15:30You'll make us a phone call, write us a
15:32letter, get in touch with us, and let us
15:34know what's happening to you. I want to
15:36thank you for being here. My final
15:38comment would be ask for God's help,
15:42which may sound a little strange coming
15:43from a strictly commercial company. We
15:45are not a religious order, but if you
15:47would allow me a personal word, that
15:48would be it. I think humans are unique,
15:50but we could all use a little help.
15:53But of course, you got to do your part.
15:55That's what we've talked about mainly
15:56tonight. Do your part, and I think God
15:57will do his part. It's a two-way street.
16:01And we do play a part. There's a story
16:03about the man who took a rock pile in
16:05two years, turned it into a fabulous
16:07garden. People came from everywhere to
16:09see it. One day, a guy came by, saw the
16:11garden, thought it was fabulous, but he
16:13wanted to make sure the gardener didn't
16:14take all the credit.
16:16So, to get his point across, he meets
16:18the gardener, shakes his hand, and says,
16:19"Mr. Gardener, remember you and the good
16:22Lord together have this beautiful garden
16:24here." And the gardener said, "Hey, I
16:27understand that. I know what you mean."
16:30He said, 'If it wasn't for the sunshine
16:32and the rain and the miracle of the seed
16:36and the soil and the seasons, there
16:37would be no garden for sure.
16:40But he said, 'You know, you should have
16:41seen this place a couple of years ago
16:42when God had it all by himself.
16:44[laughter]
16:46And I think that's true. We do play a
16:48part. I'm glad I was not an angel.
16:52I think humans have a lot more fun.
16:55You've made it a splendid evening, and I
16:56want to wish you the very best. Look
16:59forward to seeing you on the weekend.
17:01Make sure we get the little white slip
17:02of paper and let's be in touch. I wish
17:05you the best. Good night. God bless.
17:10Thank you. [applause]
17:12Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you.
