until you have had the taste of finishing you will not respect yourself. until you follow through until something is done come the hell on hot water, tears and struggles and pain and you go through it anyway and you show up and you continue to fight on, no matter the circumstances after a while something begins to wither inside of you.

how do you do that? how do you change your mind away from fear to big hairy audacious goals? how do you do this thing where you become what you think about how do you think about something different well you do what you're doing now but you do it on such a consistent basis that it changes the makeup and the shape of your psyche, your spirit, and your future, and your destiny.

 you need to learn to think because thinking makes you act effectively in the world. thinking makes you win the battles you undertake and those could be battles for good things. if you can think and speak and write you are absolute, deadly nothing can get in your way.

 The number one thing in your world is not your education, it's your dream. so what you're dreaming about? y'all what you still dreaming about what is god still showing you in your imagination? what are you so afraid of? why would you not take that leap and go for it before you mess around and die? why would you not go and see what God really got for you before you leave this world? why would you hang on to a job?  if you live paycheck to paycheck right now when you retire they gonna give you one-third of what you can't live on now. they're gonna give you a gold watch on the turkey and they're gonna set you on out to pass. if I was you before I leave this world I go see what god really got for me. just take a chance.

 now here's why you should take the chance to name me one-time god has not pulled you through. just name it name the one thing God has never pulled you through. if he ain't poured you through it he's currently pulling you through it right now. and the reason I know I’m telling the truth is because you sitting in here. if god was through with you he wouldn't wake you up no more. when he wakes you up is because he ain't through with you yet he got something else for you. so why don't you go see what that is look it's mostly black people in here why we keep living our lives like we still slaves? why we got to live our lives like we owe him something? man you owe yourself something go be free go see what god got for you all steve that's easy for you to say you rich. hell did you hear me I lived in a car for three years I took on October 8th I won fifty dollars October 9th I quit I better jump you won't take. you ain't even got dude a lot of y'all got savings you may not have three years up but you only need a little bit. just jump go see what god got for you quit sitting here in your life posturing like it's okay quit the faith. quit faking the funk quit got people thinking you something you ain't man you really know you won't be.

 so some people quit because things are out of control. nobody quits what you can control. but the moment you get in something where you don't get your way or you get reprimanded or you get corrected or you go through this or you go through that or you go through the other or it's bad conditions or bad circumstances then. the first thing the immature mind says is this is ridiculous I quit.

 my self-esteem even though I was building it up and I lost weight and stuff like that I’m now around the most uncommon of uncommon people. and I’m like my god I’m here do I belong here? so your mind has a good way of taking the path of least resistance whenever friction happens friction causes growth. whatever friction happens that's why a lot of us don't have any growth. because when friction happens we go the opposite direction. so in my mind when friction happened my mind said oh hey man let's let's get out of you're not real. you've lied your whole life you come from this you can barely read those things so whenever times got hard my mind said you're not good enough let's go. so my eyes my mind weren't connecting so how you can bat that is this I call it the cookie jar. you have to remind yourself.

 we all have a story we've all of us have gone through very hard times but when we're in a hard time our mind has a way of forgetting what all we've overcome. I have a way of taking one second when I want to quit. and say okay you endured this. so I look at my life and how I came up as the ultimate training ground versus most people look at it as why what was me, god, why why? I had to flip this upside down and say hey on a second, God was training me to be one of the baddest men on the planet. that's how this was my journey. because those things beat me but they didn't kill me.

 you gotta have a permeating attitude that you're gonna win you have a positive outlook you gotta be optimistic. you gotta know you're gonna win. you gotta right now you gotta say I’m gonna win I don't mean just this contest. I don't mean the contest I mean I’m gonna win my life is gonna win there's gonna be a victorious life here. because listen to me the price you pay for losing here is too extreme. you have to carry the burden of failure the rest of your life. you carry that around with you if you fail here.

 the biggest thing that breaks my heart is you feel the spirit right now and then when you get back these dream stealers run into you. and they start to steal your dream and you quit. you give up. you got to decide I’m going to win you got to decide that the failure part of carrying fail you've been exposed to what your life could be. if you fail here the price is extreme. it's forever. you carry the failure forever. I’m being honest with you I meet people often times that say I was in wfg you really changed my life for this meeting. but but but and they put their heads down they've been carrying it they carry it. they see these Facebook and Instagrams and what we're doing. you gotta know you're going to win you got to sell out. yeah, I’m telling you you got to become a sellout. you need to sell out. you get obsessed you got to get relentless you got to be a road dog you got to get intense. that's what you got to do. you got to put your head down for a four to six year window I don't care if you're brand new or you're one of these front rows we need four to six years right now like the best you ever have.

 you can feel it from me right now i've been doing this 25 years I haven't felt like this in 20. this will be the best run we've had we're playing offense again. we're selling the dream again you can feel it.we got some swagger at this convention don't we you can feel it you can see the videos we need your best let's go on a run see we're a family we're a dysfunctional family sometimes but we're a damn family we don't always get along but at the end of the day we've done something great together. we've made history together.

 there's no it's so funny we're talking about there's nothing even remotely they're not even something even 22 percent the size of wmg. it's hilarious that somebody would you think that there's something like this my god this is a behemoth. this is the lakers it's the Yankees it's the Celtics it's the Dallas cowboys it's the patriots there's nothing like it in the world. there's some dream stealers you need to look out for these four I don't want them to happen to you you ready say yes.

 dream stealer number one that'll take you out of here lack of confidence or faith lack of belief. it'll steal your dream you've got to know you're going to win. you've got to have some faith these people sitting around you right now they're whispering to you you could do this I believe you just like when you were a little boy. just like when you were a little girl they've always believed in you. they've always known you're gonna do something special. they always knew you were great you need to know it you need to take that god that's sitting there with you and those precious souls that have passed that have always believed in you and you carry them with you everywhere. they're with you anyway acknowledge them. if you don't believe that honor them, honor god. honor these people who believed in you with your magnificent life honor them. don't give in to lack of belief lack of confidence don't ever do that again don't do it in wfg or out of wfg you were made to do something great you're special you're made in the image of god something awesome supposed to happen for you. and those of you that have made something awesome happen something even more awesome supposed to happen for you.

is the greatest single obstacle to our success is our self-limiting beliefs. is we believe that we're limited in some way. our friend this morning was talking about the fact that each person is a potential genius that you have genius inside you. that you have unlimited potential which is what we agree we we believe passionately. but if we believe that we are limited in some way it becomes true for us, it becomes our belief.

 by the way uh I didn't do well in school and before we came here I was going to do some background checking on the people here what I found is there's a lot of people in this audience who didn't do well in school. Yes. so a lot of people here got lousy grades in school I was astonished to look at the high percentage in fact you could be sitting next to one of them right now. Yes. we know who you are.

 now here's the problem is that if you're told which I was and all the time you're growing up they say you have to get good grades you won't do well in life you have to get good grades you won't get into college you have to get good grades you won't get a good job won't get very well. and so on they tell you that to encourage you to get good grades so what if you got lousy grades for whatever reason well now you could be 25 or 35 years old and you don't even try because hey you didn't get good grades in school see kind of short of potential. and what we do is we are we actually sabotage ourselves we drive with our foot on the break of our own potential. because we think well I didn't really get good grades in school. and then you read the studies and you find that most of the people got straight a's worked for the people who got b's. and the people who got b's worked for the people got seizures well in the companies. and the people on the companies got the money from the venture capitalist all who got d's in school. you know and so the grades that you've got in school are irrelevant but if you believe that because you got poor grades or because you didn't get started you didn't go to college or something if you believe it, it becomes true for you.

 so the first thing you do is you have to challenge your self-limiting beliefs and realize that most self-immediate beliefs have no foundation in reality. how many times have you had an experience where you thought you had no skill or ability in some area and then you started working in the area it turned out to be pretty capable and you're quite amazed and you never had that idea the fact of the matter is we all have that throughout life.

 my friend Dennis Waitley has this wonderful line he said you could not use all of your potentials if you had 100 lifetimes. you have so much potential and what holds us back from using all of our potentials we believe that we don't have it.

 it's an I will never forget the story of this fellow's grandfather came out homesteaded a piece of land in Alberta passed it on to his grandfather. who depends on his father the father could never make a living on it finally passed on to the son was on welfare and raising goats on this quarter section in Alberta. none of the families for three generations had ever made any money on this hardscrabble piece of farm. and along came an oil company said can we drill on your land we find oil we'll sign an extraction agreement with you royalties and so on they drill in as oil. they found an oil pool and overnight he was a millionaire. he had an income of something like hundred fifty-two hundred thousand dollars a year for the next thirty years. he went from living a hardscrabble life raising goats on this lousy piece of land and somebody else came along and showed him how to get the potential out of the land. the oil had always been there that's what this seminar does, that's what harv does , by the way, is he shows you how to drill oil in your own land and tap into the potential that you have that was always there it's been there all this time. but your job is to drill that's really important and that's that's what we're here for three days is to look for insights so remember this always ask yourself you have a self-limiting belief. what if it wasn't true? what if it wasn't true?

 my one my son going back to David, David was really shy when he was growing up and so um I would say you know one thing I know about you David is you are you're not afraid of anything. he said oh I’m afraid of everything he's afraid of riding a bicycle and he's afraid of this if you know he's afraid of ghosts in the night. no David you're not afraid of anything and I say to barbara he said one thing I know about dave he's not afraid of anything. and she said yes I am we drive along I say well you know I really admire David because he's not afraid of anything and I would just say this and I changed his name to dave the brave. and then I shortened it to LeBron. I say where's LeBron where's LeBron where is he how are you doing LeBron called him that I started calling him dave the brave all the time. and you know at a certain point in his life he started saying you know something I’m not afraid of anything it changed his whole life you reprogrammed him to tell him because other than that he had a self-limiting belief. it's really important anyway so your beliefs are important and your and your whole attitude toward life is determined by your beliefs. and here's the interesting thing you come into the world with no beliefs every belief that you have good or bad you learned from childhood. and most of your self-limiting beliefs if not all of them have no basis in reality. is you have the capacity to do anything be anything that you want you could learn any subject you could become a doctor in any university. you could memorize then learn languages you and the more you learn the more you can learn. the more you use your brain the more your brain is is capable of learning more things. but what holds us back is so I could never learn languages. shut up, you could learn languages i'll tell you what you went to a foreign country the only way you could eat is because learn the language. and the words for the food you'd learn languages at a speed of summer lightning I know because I I've been in other words the self-lending beliefs have no reality so the belief that you have to have programmed in put in your computer is that you are going to be a big success in life and everything that happens is part of this great process.

 now the next law is called the law of expectations again there's years of it there's libraries the books and years of research on this expectations theory by the way is the foundation of all economics it determines the drift of stock markets the movement of world finances it determines the investment. entrepreneurs have high expectations that their entrepreneurial efforts are going to work. we would not start a business without high positive expectations. so expectations have an enormous impact on our attitudes. and here's the interesting thing is if you believe you're going to be a great success you expect everything that happens to be part of the great plan. so if you have positive expectations like a kid's first christmas you're positive all the time. and the key to being positive is to look for the good expect good things to happen. we say that whatever you expect with confidence becomes your own self-fulfilling prophecy, is you are constantly predicting your future by talking about how the way you think things are going to turn out.
