Human emotions are powerful. They are so powerful that any
one of them can have a dramatic effect on your life in a single
day. However, make this careful note.
Emotions are tricky. They can go either way on you.
Emotions can build or destroy, weaken or strengthen, make or
(00:22):
break. It all depends on how you use
them. Before we continue, if you've
been feeling stuck, overwhelmed,or like you're constantly
restarting your journey, we created something for you.
It's called self-discipline Hacks for Everyone, a straight
up no fluff guide to help you stay focused, build mental
(00:44):
strength, and finally follow through.
This isn't about being perfect, it's about showing up, even on
the hard days. If you're ready to take back
control, tap the link in the description.
Now back to Jim Rohn. We call civilization the
intelligent management of human emotion.
(01:07):
That's it. The power, given an intelligent
direction and objective, can accomplish spectacular things.
The power, the feelings, those surges of heart and soul, What
are they? What can they do?
Well, here are some. Let me just quickly give you a
list of four emotions that can change your life in one day.
(01:33):
Emotions are powerful. Sometimes it doesn't take much
to alter your whole life direction.
OK, here they are #1 disgust. Powerful emotion.
Disgust says I have had it. See, that could be the day.
(01:57):
The day you can say I've had it.And whether you've had it with
something small or something major, the day you can say I've
had it may not be the day it ends, but the day it begins.
That's what I said when that little Girl Scout left my door
when I'm 25. I give her the big lie.
She leaves. I say I don't want to live like
(02:19):
this any more. I've had it with Lion and being
broke. Powerful day.
The man's finally had it with mediocrity.
He's had it with being a loser. He's finally had it with those
(02:42):
awful sick feelings inside knowing his wife is at the
grocery store looking at 2 cans of beans, 1 mark, 37 cents, 1
mark $0.39 and the guy sick inside knows his wife's going to
buy the 37 cent can and she doesn't even like the brand.
Do you know why she's going to buy the 37 cent can to save
(03:03):
$0.02? The guy sick inside finally says
I've had it. Being on my knees in the dust
looking for pennies. We're not living like this.
Any moment could be the day thatturns your life around, the day
you can say I've had it. He walks into his closet and
(03:29):
rips everything in it to shreds and says I've worn this
embarrassing stuff for the last time and not only will I never
wear it again, no one else will ever wear it again.
Come in an act that says I've had it powerful.
(03:54):
Here's the next one. Decision and decision making is
powerful and it's emotional. That's those knots in the pit of
your stomach, right? Waking up in the middle of the
night in a cold sweat trying to decide.
We sometimes call it inner civilwar.
(04:16):
What shall I do? Well, for progress, you must
decide. The best advice I can give you
came from a wealthy friend of mine who said if it's easy, do
it easy, If it's hard, do it hard.
Just get it done If you went home tonight and in the next few
(04:40):
days cleaned up a whole list of decisions that might furnish
enough inspiration for the next 10 years.
I found this out many times. After you've decided, getting on
with it is easier than deciding.Sometimes decision is the
toughest part. Here's the next emotion.
Desire. Wanting too bad enough, and I
(05:03):
don't know how to tell you to want to.
That's something you've got to come up with.
There's two things I know about desire #1 it comes from inside,
not outside. You don't send off for it #2 I
know desire can be triggered by something.
(05:24):
Who knows what it might be? Sometimes desire waits and
sleeps for something to happen. Maybe it's a book, maybe it's a
song, maybe it's a sermon, Maybeit's a lecture, A seminar.
Maybe it's the conversation of afriend, a happening, an event.
Who knows? The best I can vice I can give
(05:46):
you is what I give my staff. It goes like this.
Welcome every human experience. You never know which one is
going to turn it all on, even the bad experiences.
Sometimes from the bitterest experience comes the greatest
awakening. So let down the barriers, take
(06:07):
down the walls. The same wall that keeps out
disappointment, keeps out happiness.
Let life. Touch you.
Don't let it kill you, but let it touch you.
Here's the last one. This one's powerful.
Resolve. Resolve, says I will.
(06:28):
Two of the most powerful words in the language.
I will, Benjamin Disraeli once said.
Nothing can resist a human will that will stake even its
existence on the extent of its purpose.
Shortly put, I'll do it or die. See, that's powerful.
(06:49):
That could be the day that turnsyour life around.
The world has a strange way of stepping aside when somebody
says I'll do it or die. The man says I will climb the
mountain. They've told me it's too high,
it's too far, it's too steep, it's too rocky, it's too
difficult. But it's my mountain.
I will climb it. Pretty soon you will see me
(07:10):
waving from the top or dead on the side because I'm not coming
back. Hey, that's powerful Time and
faith and circumstance call a hasty conference and they all
agree we might as well let John have it.
He says he's going to get it or die.
(07:31):
Wow, that's it. Resolve.
The best definition of resolve Iever heard was from a junior
high girl in Foster City, CA. I'm talking to the junior high
kids and I asked the question. Who can tell me what resolve
means? I got several hands.
Some were pretty good, but the last one was the best, she said.
(07:54):
I think resolve means promising yourself you will never give up.
I said that's it, best I've heard.
Promise yourself you will never give up.
I asked the kids how long shoulda baby try to learn how to walk?
How long would you give the average baby before you shut him
off? You say That's crazy.
(08:16):
Any mother in the world would say my baby is going to keep
trying until it learns how to walk.
No wonder almost everyone walks.What a magic formula.
The until formula. Good question.
How long are you going to work to make your dreams of wealth
and happiness come true? I suggest the until formula.
(08:39):
It's. The best emotions?
Disgust. Decision.
Desire. Resolve.
Why postpone your better future any longer?
Get at it today. Get some new books, make a new
plan, set a new goal, ask some new questions, lock on to a new
resolve, make a new effort, and do it all now.
(09:04):
So if I had a word with you tonight one-on-one, just you and
me, I think my personal advice to you would be this year, 1981
reached down inside of you and come up with some more of those
remarkable human gifts. They're there waiting to be
utilized and then change anything for you.
(09:27):
You want to change. And I challenge you to do that
because you can change. If you don't like how it is for
you, change it. If it doesn't suit you, change
it. If it doesn't please you, change
it. If it isn't enough, change it.
And I challenge you to do that because you can.
Change see. You don't ever have to be the
same again after tonight, only by choice.
(09:50):
If you don't like your present address, change it.
You're not a tree. What could you make yourself do,
starting tomorrow, that would change it all?
No tell. Now see, that's exciting.
On any given day, you can massively change the direction
of your life. Murder is a clear example that
(10:14):
anyone person on any given day can forever alter the course of
their life. It just happens to be a negative
act. But just as sure as you can
commit a negative act, you can also commit a positive act and
forever alter your life wheneveryou wish.
Now that's exciting. And whatever that act might be,
(10:36):
that changes your life. The guy finally takes a shotgun
to his car and blows out every window, destroys every tire,
puts 100 rounds in this shabby old thing.
And he says, I have driven this embarrassing thing for the last
time and not only will I never drive it again, nobody else will
(10:59):
ever drive it again. And he lets that shuddering
thing stand there for a while asa monument to the day he said
today, my life changes. Now who can do that?
Anybody. When can you do it?
Whatever day you pick.
