This is the end. You're going to lose everything. You won't come out of this. You're not smart enough. You're not bright enough. Those are the kind of voices that we all live with. Because of our mental conditioning, we unconsciously build a case on why we can't do something.

You can't do that. You don't have any college training. You can't do that. You don't have the money. You don't have the contacts. It's a natural inclination for us to put ourselves down. We are born negative, I think, in a negative consciousness because we live in a negative world. Don't let this negative world get to you.

Don't let it win. Stop beating up on yourself. You do do it. I know you do it. I've done it. Life is serious. And you have to be serious about taking care of your mental state. So I'm saying learn to be your own booster.

Start building yourself up. Start encouraging yourself. If you don't program your mind, your mind. your mind will be programmed because human beings are goal-oriented. 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. Start listening to tapes on a daily basis to begin to recondition your mind, to retrain your thinking, 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. But you've got to learn how to tune out the critics outside and the critic inside. You ignore that inner voice and all of the external voices. Don't judge the possibilities for what you can do based upon the circumstances because the circumstances won't determine who you are. Start saying I can do this.

I can make this happen. Come on, man, get your stuff together. You can do this. You can handle this. This is not a big deal. You're amazing. This too shall pass. You can handle this.

this you just haven't figured it out yet. You can do this. Other people have done it. Doesn't take an Einstein. Take some seminars, workshop, read some books and how to manage your business. You've got your gifts, you've got your talents. Stay focused on what you're doing. Focus your energy.

That kind of talk. Saying that to yourself drives back the other voices of negativity that we all have. You've got to be willing to prepare yourself and do the best you can, take your best shot. Start working and developing yourself now and prepare yourself for what it is that you want, because you expect to get it.

Do you have the courage to believe in your own ideas? Do you have the courage to think something beyond where you are? Because if you can think, you can change, you can move, you can evolve, you can grow, you can become, you are one thought away from a great reformation in your life, one thought away from Big a Millionaire, one thought from overcoming, You are one thought away from the greatest experience you have ever had in your life. Your credit is not a problem. Your house is not a problem.

Your situation is not a problem. Your thoughts are the problem. As a man, think of it as hard, so is he. Everything starts in the thoughts you think. If you think little, you go little. If you think weak, you go weak. If you think up, you go up. One thought.

Look out from where you are. What you see is what you'll be. If you see nothing, you'll be nothing. So now it's a season for you to move distractions, confusion, turmoil, out of the way to find a peaceful place where you can meditate and think, what am I going to do at this season of my life? What could I do with the circumstances in my life? What would you do with what you have to make it better one thought? Deliverance you from hopping around in the failures of your past to standing up like a man. say I'm going to be defined by what's in front of me and not what's behind me.

You will not beat me because I take myself to be strong enough to strike you back off of me.
