LAWYER TO MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER

                               FROM LAWYER TO MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER

                    I CONTINUED MY SELF-STUDY PROGRAM IN MY SPARE TIME, WHILE I WORKED FULL TIME AS A LAWYER. THE POSITIVE THINKING WAS HELPING MY ATTITUDE AT WORK, BUT I FELT A PASSION FOR MY "HOBBY" THAT I NEVER FELT TO MY WORK, AND I DREAMED ABOUT THE DAY I COULD WALK AWAY FROM MY JOB.

                    IN 1989, AFTER FOUR YEARS OF INTENSIVE RESEARCH ABOUT ATTITUDE AND MOTIVATIONAL CONCEPTS, I AGREED TO PRESENT SOME ADULT EDUCATION SEMINARS IN THE EVENINGS AT A LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL. I WAS TO BE PAID $30 FOR EACH TWO-HOUR CLASS. NOT THE KIND OF MONEY THAT LETS YOU QUIT YOUR DAY JOB!

                   AS I STOOD IN FRONT OF THE CLASS TO START MY FIRST SEMINAR, I WAS PETRIFIED. MY HEART WAS POUNDING AND I WAS SWEATING. BUT SOMEHOW I MANAGED TO MUSTER THE COURAGE TO JUST DO IT. THE STUDENTS LOVED THE CLASS, AND I GOT A REAL ADRENALINE RUSH FROM PRESENTING THE MATERIAL THAT HAD REVOLUTIONED MY OWN LIFE.... AND THAT HAD THE POWER TO DO THE SAME FOR OTHERS!

                 EVENTUALLY, THE SPEAKING FEES GREW A LITTLE LARGER, AND IN 1990, I DECIDED TO PHASE OUT MY LAW CAREER OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. THIS WASN'T SIMPLE DECISION. I HAD GONE TO FOUR YEARS OF COLLEGE AND THREE YEARS OF LAW SCHOOL TO OBTAIN MY LAW DEGREE. ON TOP OF THAT, I HAD SPENT 10 YEARS OF MY LIFE AS A PRACTICING LAWYER. WHEN YOU HAVE THAT MUCH INVESTED IN A CAREER, IT'S NOT SO EASY TO WALK AWAY.

                 THEN OF COURSE, THERE WAS THE MONEY ISSUE. AS A LAWYER, I WAS ON TRACK TO EARN $100,000 IN A FEW YEARS, AND I'D BE EARNING THAT MUCH- AND MORE- FOR THE REST OF MY PROFESSIONAL CAREER.

THREE PARTS OF LIFE

                                        THINK..... SPEAK..... ACT

                     IN PART 1, SUCCESS BEGINS IN THE MIND, WE'LL BE FOCUSING ON THE POWER OF ATTITUDE AND BELIEF TO SHAPE YOUR DESTINY. YOU'LL LEARN HOW YOUR SUCCESS INITIALLY DEPENDS ON THE WAY THAT YOU THINK.

                    IN PART 2, WATCH YOUR WORDS, WE'LL CONCENTRATE ON THE WAY THAT YOU SPEAK.... HOW YOUR ATTITUDE IS REFLECTED IN YOUR WORDS.... AND HOW POSITIVE LANGUAGE CAN HELP TO PROPEL YOU TOWARD YOUR GOALS.

                   IN PART 3, HEAVEN HELPS THOSE WHO ACT, WE'LL COVER THE FINAL LEG OR OUR JOURNEY. EVEN IF YOU THINK POSITIVELY.... AND SPEAK POSITIVELY..... YOU WON'T ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS INTIL YOU ACT. YOU CAN'T SIT BACK AND JUST EXPECT SUCCESS TO PAY YOU A VISIT. IN THIS SECTION, YOU'LL LEARN THE ACTION STEPS THAT WILL TURN YOUR DREAMS INTO REALITY.

                   WHEN YOU THINK, SPEAK AND ACT IN WAYS THAT SUPPORT YOUR SUCCESS, YOU'RE FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS.... AND ON THE WAY TO ACHIEVING PHENOMENAL RESULTS IN YOUR LIFE.

                   YOU'RE ABOUT TO EMBARK ON A JOURNEY THAT WILL BRING YOU SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS BEYOND YOUR WILDEST DREAMS, SO LET'S GET STARTED...

JUST DO

                                                               JUST DO IT

              RALPH WALDO EMERSON OFFERED SOME SIMPLE ADVICE, WHICH, IF FOLLOWED, CAN TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE. HE SAID, DO THE THING YOU FEAR AND THE DEATH OF FEAR IS CERTAIN, I KNOW THIS ADVICE MAKES GOOD SENSE, BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST TOO AFRAID THIS ADVICE TO ACT. REMEMBER MY PRIOR WORDS ABOUT THE STEEP PRICE YOU PAY WHEN YOU LET YOUR FEARS DOMINATE YOU.

             IN THE END, RUNNING AWAY FROM YOUR FEAR IS A LOSING STRAGETY. IT WILL ONLY BRING YOU FRUSTRATION AND UNHAPPINESS. I CAN TELL YOU THAT FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

            THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH HAVING SOME FEARS. SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE HAVE FEARS. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE TAKE ACTION AND MOVE FORWARD DESPITE BEING AFRAID. IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY, I'LL GRANT THAT. BUT YOU'LL ALWAYS FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF WHEN YOU FACE YOUR FEARS.

             IN THE LAST 20 YEARS OF SO, I'VE HAD THE PRICILEGE OF TRAVELLING THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AND ABROAD ..... AND OF SPEAKING WITH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. DURING ALL THE TIME, I HAVEN'T MET ONE PERSON WHO CONFRRONTED HIS FEARS.... TOOK ACTION..... AND LATER REGRETTED IT. NOT A SINGLE ONE! BUT I'VE MET MANY PEOPLE WHO TELL ME HOW MUCH THEY REGRET BACKING AWAY FORM THEIR FEARS--- AND LETTING THEIR DREAMS DIE..

               SO, STRETCH YOURSELF. CONFRONT YOUR FEARS AND BE WILLING TO EXPAND YOUR FONFORT ZONE. THE COURAGE MUSCLE CAN BE DEVELOPED JUST LIKE ANY OTHER MUSCLE--- WITH EXERCISE. AND WHEN YOU DO AN ACTIVITY OUSTSIDE YOUR CONFORT ZONE A FEW TIMES, YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS?  THE SAME ACTIVITY BECOMES PART OF YOUR CONFORT ZONE!.

                  THER'S ANOTHER BONUS WHEN YOU'RE WILLING TO EXPANT YOUR COMFORT ZONE. WHEN YOU PUSH THROUGH FEAR AND TAKE ACTION IN SOME AREAS OF YOUR LIFE, YOU'LL DEVELOP CONFIDENCE IN OTHER AREAS, AS WELL. IT'S TRUE! AS I BECAME MORE CONFORTABLE AS A SPEAKER, I ALSO BECAME A BETTER SALESMAN... A BETTER BUSINESSMAN.... A BETTER LISTENER..... THE LIST GOES ON AND ON....

                      CONFRONT YOUR FEARS..... AND YOU'RE ON THE WAY TO DEVELOPING YOUR POTENTIAL AND LEADING THE EXCITING, FULFILLING LIFE YOU DESERVE . IT'S A DESISION YOU'LL NEVER REGRET!

AUTOMATIC PILOT

                              TAKE YOUR FEELINGS OFF AUTOMATIC PILOT

             MANY PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE POWER OF GOOD FEELINGS, AND SO THEIR FEELINGS ARE REACTIONS OR RESPONSE OF WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM. THEY HAVE PUT THEIR FEELINGS ON AUTOMATIC PILOT, INSTEAD OF DELIBERATELY TAKING CHARGE OF THEM. WHEN SOMETHING GOOD HAPPENS, THEY FEEL GOOD. WHEN SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS, THEY FEEL BAD. THEY DON'T REALIZE THAT THEIR FEELINGS ARE THE CAUSE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THEM. AS THEIR FEELINGS ARE THE NEGATIVE FEELINGS TO SOMETHING THAT HAS HAPPENED, THEY GIVE OUT MORE NEGATIVE FEELINGS, AND THEY RECEIVE BACK MORE NEGATIVE CIRCUMSTANCES. THEY BECOME TRAPPED IN A CYCLE NOT GETTING ANYWHERE, LIKE A HAMSTER ON A WHEEL, BECAUSE THEY DON'T REALIZE THAT TO CHANGE THEIR LIFE, THEY MUST CHANGE THEIR FEELING FREQUENCY!

                " IF YOU WANT TO FIND THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE,

                  THINK IN TERMS OF ENERGY, FREQUENCY, AND VIBRATION"

                   IF YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY, NATURALLY YOU DON'T FEEL GOOD ABOUT MONEY, BUT THE MONEY IN YOUR LIFE WILL NEVER CHANGE WHILE YOU DON'T FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT. IF YOU GIVE OUT NEGATIVE FEELINGS ABOUT MONEY, YOU'RE ON A NEGATIVE FREQUENCY ABOUT MONEY AND YOU WILL RECEIVE BACK NEGATIVE CIRCUMSTANCES SUCH AS BIG BILLS OR THINGS BREAKING DOWN, WHICH ARE ALL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT DRAIN YOU OF MONEY. WHEN YOU REACT WITH NEGATIVE FEELINGS TO A BIG BILL, YOU GIVE OUT MORE NEGATIVE FEELINGS ABOUT MONEY, WHICH BRING EVEN MORE NEGATIVE CIRCUMSTANCES TO YOU THAT DRAIN YOU OF MORE MONEY.

                         " DO NOT WASTE ONE MOMENT IN REGRET, FOR

                           TO THINK FEELINGLY OF THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST

                            IS TO RE-INFECT YOURSELF".

FEEL ABOUT MONEY

                                                THE POINT OF CREATION

                       WHEN YOU CHANGE THE WAY YOU FEEL ABOUT MONEY, THE AMOUNT OF MONEY IN YOUR LIFE WILL CHANGE. THE BETTER YOU FEEL ABOUT MONEY, THE MORE MONEY YOU MAGNETIZE TO YOURSELF.

                       YOU CAN TREND TO THINK OF THE THINGS YOU WANT AS REALLY BIG THINGS, BUT YOUR PERPECTIVE IS WAY OUT OF PROPORTION WHEN YOU THINK THAT WAY. WHEN YOU THINK SOMETHING IS REALLY BIG, IN EFFECT YOU'RE SAYING TO THE LAW OF ATTRACTION, THIS IS SO BIG IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE, AND IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO TAKE A REALLY LONG TIME, AND YOU WILL BE RIGHT, BECAUSE WHATEVER YOU THINK AND FEEL IS WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE. IF YOU THINK YOUR DESIRE IS REALLY BIG, YOU WILL CREATE DIFFICULTY AND A TIME DELAY IN RECEIVING WHAT YOU WANT. BUT THERE IS NO BIG OR SMALL FOR THE LAW OF ATTRACTION, AND THERE IS NO CONCEPT TO TIME FOR THE LAW OF ATTRACTION.

                     TO HELP YOU HAVE THE TRUE PERSPECTIVE OF CREATION, NO MATTER HOW BIG YOUR DESIRE MAY SEEM TO YOU, THINK OF IT AS THE SIZE OF DOT! YOU MAY WANT A HOUSE, CAR, VACATION,MONEY, THE PERFECT PARTNER, YOUR DREAM JOB, OR CHILDREN. YOU MAY WANT TO RECEIVE FULL HEALTH IN YOUR BODY. YOU MAY WANT TO PASS EXAMS, GET INTO A PARTICULAR COLLEGE, BREAK A WORLD RECORE, BECOME PRESIDENT, A SUCCESSFUL ACTOR, LAWYER, WRITER, OR TEACHER. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IT IS YOU WANT, THINK OF IT AS THE SIZE OF A DOT, BECAUSE FOR THE FORCE OF LOVE, WHAT YOU WANT IS SMALLER THAN A DOT!.

MAGNET POWER

                                                    YOU ARE A MAGNET

             THE LAW OF ATTRACTION IS UNFAILINGLY GIVING YOU EVERY SINGLE THING IN YOUR LIFE BASED ON WHAT YOU'RE GIVING OUT. YOU MAGNETIZE AND RECEIVE THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF WEALTH, HEALTH, RELATIONSHIPS, YOUR JOB, AND EVERY SINGLE EVENT AND EXPERIENCE IN YOUR LIFE, BASED ON THE THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS YOU'RE GIVING OUT. GIVE OUT POSITIVE THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ABOUT MONEY, AND YOU MAGNETIZE POSITIVE CIRCUMSTANCES, PEOPLE, AND EVENTS THAT BRING MORE MONEY, AND YOU MAGNETIZE NEGATIVE CIRCUMSTANCES, PEOPLE, AND EVENTS THAT CAUSE YOU TO HAVE A LACK OF MONEY.

                  "WHETHER HUMANITY WILL CONSCIOUSLY FOLLOW THE LAW

                    OF LOVE, I DO NOT KNOW. BUT THAT NEED NOT DISTURB ME.

                    THE LAW WILL WORK JUST AS THE LAW OF GRAVITATION

                    WORKS WHETHER WE ACCEPT IT OR NOT"

                      

BEAUTY OF LOVE

                                         BEAUTY COMES FROM LOVE

        "AS LOVE GROWS IN YOU, BEAUTY GROWS TOO. FOR LOVE

          IS THE BEAUTY OF THE SOUL"

              ALL BEAUTY COMES FROM THE FORCE OF LOVE. UNLIMITED BEAUTY IS AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH LOVE, BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT MOST PEOPLE FIND FAULT AND CRITICIZE THEIR BODY MORE THAN THEY APPRECIATE IT. LOOKING AT YOUR FAULTS AND BEING UNHAPPY ABOUT ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR BODY DOES NOT BRING BEAUTY TO YOU! ALL IT BRINGS IS MORE FAULTS AND MORE UNHAPPINESS.

            THE BEAUTY BUSINESS IS ENORMOUS, YET UNLIMITED BEAUTY IS BEING POURED DOWN TO YOU IN EVERY SECOND. BUT YOU HAVE TO GIVE LOVE TO RECEIVE IT! THE HAPPIER YOU ARE, THE MORE BEAUTYFUL YOU WILL BE. LINES WILL FADE, SKIN WILL TIGHTEN AND BEGIN TO GLOW, HAIR WILL BECOMES THICKER AND STRONGER, EYES WILL BEGIN TO SPARKLE, AND THEIR COLOR WILL INTENSIFY. AND MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE,YOU WILL SEE THE PROOF THAT BEAUTY COMES FROM LOVE WHEN PROPLE ARE DRAWN TO YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.
