One of Les Browns' most popular speeches, about anything you set your mind to being possible. "I want you to look at something right now. Think of a major goal you want or maybe it's one you're already working on and you have experienced a lot of setbacks, a lot of defeats. You've experienced a lot of disappointment. Maybe you've already given up, and maybe you just need a little fun, a little encouragement to get back in the game again. Heres what I want you to look at;
There are winners, there are losers, and there are people that have not discovered how to win.
And all they need is some coaching. All they need is some help, that assistance, just a little support. All they need is some insight or a different strategy; a plan of action to make some adjustments that will open up the key to a whole new future for them. That will give them access to the unlimited power they have within themselves. That's all that they need.
So what I want you to do is think about something you want for you, that's real for you, that's important for you. That will give your life some special meaning and power. And I don't even want you to say I can do that, I don't want you to assume that. See five years ago when I started out in this area I would not have been able to make the mental leap that I would be up to where I am right now. I don't want you to begin to just sike yourself out, no no, I want you to be able to say something to yourself that will enable you to maintain a level of integrity with yourself. That when you say this even when you face tremendous setbacks, it will be a benchmark to keep you in the game, to keep you moving forward and experimenting and readjusting your strategy and your plan of action. Continuously looking for ways to win.
What is that something? When you got an idea you wanna move on, you might not have the money, you might not have the education. You might not have the support or the resources you need.
What is that something? That can keep us going, that will enable us to act on our dream. What's one of those keys that will begin to help us to discover the secrets to our dreams. Here's what I want you to do, repeat after me please with power and conviction.
Say "It's possible."
That's all I want you to do when you look at your dreams, is say to yourself every day "It's possible". Say that every day to yourself "It's possible". Because what does that do? See, it begins to change your beliefs system. See the way in which we operate ladies and gentlemen it's a manifestation of what we believe what's possible for us. Whatever you've done up to this point all that it really is is a duplication, it's a reproduction of what you believe subconsciously that you deserve and what's possible for your life. Most
people operate out of their personal history. Out of their memory, things have done, things have experienced, things have seen, things that they have observed. What I'm suggesting that you operate out of a larger vision of yourself. I want you to see yourself doing what you want to do, experiencing what you want to experience having what you want to have, doing what is that gives your life some meaning of
value. operate out of your imagination, not your memory because whenever you look at where you want to go I'm wanting
to warn you-you will have some conversation back here after you go
through the data that you've experienced in life saying you can't do it, and so what you want to begin to do is ignore that inner conversation well most people ladies and gentlemen, when something happens to them, what they do is they begin to believe that that's the way it is, that's the way it's always been and they can't see the possibility of a being any different. Example, before in April 1954 the common belief the universal belief, because it had been tried again and again and again and people that fail, the belief was that man was not physically capable of breaking the four-minute barrier that he could not run a mile in less than four minutes. That was to believe on the planet. It had never been done, but here's what happened ladies and gentlemen; Roger Bannister came along and he broke the four-minute barrier. Now here's what's significant about that; since that time up to this day over 20,000 people have done it including high school kids. What changed? 20,000 people, what changed?
