DON’T LIE TO YOURSELF – Jim Rohn | Powerful Motivational Speech 2020 | Jim Rohn Motivation

the labor the work some people go for affirmations but see that i do believe in affirmations but here’s the key on affirmations and that is to affirm the truth affirm the truth if you’re broke best thing to affirm is i am broke you put that up on the refrigerator where you can see it every day it’ll drive you to sign up for a class to learn a skill so that this doesn’t happen anymore now if that doesn’t do it reaffirm and put this up there i’m 40 and broke that’s a lot more alarming something might be wrong with your philosophy your policy your plan and your strategy so affirm yes but always affirm the truth here’s what the old prophet said the truth will set you free now here’s the freedom of the truth number one freedom of the truth to correct old errors in judgment that’s the freedom of the truth because if you don’t speak the truth then you’re likely not to correct the errors in judgment if something’s wrong but you say hey it’s fine it’s fine it’s fine how are you going to correct the errors in judgment that made it wrong see you can’t say it’s fine it’s fine it’s fine and finally it turns out to be fine say no the only way to go from wrong to fine is not by affirmation the way to go from wrong to fine is to figure out where the errors in judgment were by speaking the truth something’s wrong here finding out what’s wrong making the changes now it can go from wrong to fine here’s a good phrase affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion now here’s what else the truth does first it sets you free to correct old errors and judgment here’s what else it does helps you to set up new easy disciplines to turn wrong into right to turn lack into prosperity to turn skepticism into faith but in order to turn wrong into right we must speak the truth because only the truth will set you free free to correct an error in judgment because here’s the formula for failure and here’s the formula for success formula for failure number one a few errors in judgment repeated every day we call that the formula for failure a few errors in judgment repeated every day now why would you repeat an error in judgment the second day reason failure doesn’t occur at the end of the first day if it did it would be helpful because then you wouldn’t do that anymore but errors in judgment are so subtle because they don’t usually show their results until for a while but a few errors in judgment repeated every day every day every day and sure enough you’re way off course now here’s all you got to do to turn that around a few simple disciplines practiced every day a few simple disciplines practiced every day starts to create success not at the end of the first day the first day is the end of a new beginning the first day that you started a new track that you’ve started a new direction so we must all speak the truth so affirm the truth yes affirm god is good yes affirm life is full of possibilities yes affirm all the truthful possibilities but you don’t need to try to trick yourself into saying something is okay when it isn’t okay some people say every day and every way i’m getting better and better and if that’s not true see that that we call that delusion if it’s not true if it is true then it’s wonderful it’s fabulous we should celebrate but if it’s not true every day in every way i’m getting better and better see if that’s not true then it is an affirmation that’s destructive so just affirm the truth the truth is i lack some skills to multiply my income by 10 which i wish to do in the future i need to learn the skills affirm that you don’t have the skills so that it’ll drive you to get the skills because you want to multiply your income by 10.

yes it is true all things are possible to the believer it is true errors in judgment lead to devastation we don’t just need the truth we need the whole truth and nothing but the truth here’s what we don’t need delusion you don’t need delusion in order to try to make something out of nothing all you need is this simple little formula to imagine because imagination is so powerful it’s the beginning of creating all things that we see then faith to believe it’s possible it says what with faith everything’s possible without faith nothing is possible so it’s a good study to make creating faith to believe it’s possible but now we deposit faith and imagination into muscle into discipline michelangelo was a genius but it wasn’t his genius that created this famous sculpture but his genius was so strong and he believed in it so thoroughly that he picked up the chisel and the hammer and it was the muscle and the chisel and the hammer that created the sculpture and without the discipline there would be no sculpture but if you take your genius if you take your ideas and your inspiration and your excitement and translate it into muscle if you want good health you can study every book there is and you can believe that it’s possible to be healthy but until you fall on the floor and start doing the push-ups until you jog around the block right and still you start working on your good health working and laboring labor pains we call it so add this to your repertoire of good ideas new life only comes from labor now some people try to create it with affirmation but it doesn’t work new life only comes from labor that’s why we should devote most of our time to labor because it’s the miracle creator it says six days labor and one day rest don’t get those numbers mixed up and here’s why it isn’t rest that creates the miracle it’s labor that creates the miracle and you just go right down the list labor creates the miracle of a career labor creates the miracle of a hotel labor creates the miracle of a fortune you can have plenty of miracle you don’t need to engage in delusion you just engage in reality and here’s what’s real imagination supported by faith invested in labor works miracles the miracle of a relationship the labor of my language produces the miracle of sight being able to see things you couldn’t see before if i labor well enough with the vocabulary and language that i’ve got describing the value of my own ideas translated for you maybe it’ll help you to see something today tomorrow that you’ve never seen before so the labor of my language the work and lecturing is hard work they say one hour of intense lecturing is like digging ditches for eight hours the intensity and the the energy and the vitality it takes right you just become almost exhausted sometimes and laboring with words to get your vocabulary out there where it touches someone’s consciousness so that they can see something they’ve never seen before and we call that miracle stuff i don’t know how it works you don’t need to know how it works all you need is a simple analysis like this but the labor takes the idea supported by faith translated into labor and it starts producing all kinds of miracles so now you can understand that you are a miracle worker would a miracle worker sleep late i doubt it unique thing about genius genius has no sense of time it’s amazing if you could have met michelangelo and you know you get there and it’s like 11 o’clock it’s like midnight and you said to michelangelo isn’t it a little late and michelangelo would say late late what is what what’s this late what does that mean late i don’t understand late to a genius it’s not late to the average person it’s getting late but to a genius it’s not late say well michelangelo i’ll meet you here in the morning and watch you get started and you got to get there at four o’clock you see it’s really early and michelangelo says early what’s her i don’t understand this what’s this early it doesn’t compute early not to a genius because the genius is consumed by the finished product and he devotes his imagination and his faith translated into muscle to produce the sculpture now you can do that with your health health is just as valuable as the sculpture that inspires the world you know your own education your own future your own career your own relationships a building a hotel creating success making a fortune it’s all part of the same scheme of imagination faith supported by labor and now all things are possible to those that believe wow you
