Five sources of inspiration. Here's the first one
deciding if
You just make a decision it can be
Sometimes the day that starts you on a brand new Journey
Now some decisions are incidental and some are small and some you know are part of a working day
But sometimes decision-making can be one of the most important days of your life
Maybe a decision you've postponed and postponed and now you understand the penalty of postponing that decision
you've got to do something and finally you come to the conclusion today is the day I now decide and
Whether you decide on a new direction whether you decide on a refinement in philosophy
whether you decide to act when before you haven't acted
you decide on a
On a series of things that you're going to do
You decide
Deciding can be such an incredibly important
very exciting
inspirational Day
also deciding sometimes
Starts the process of lifting our self-esteem
Sometimes when you look back on it
The day that you decided
Was just about as exciting as the day when you finally accomplished the project that when you finally made the decision you
Finally got the monkey off your back as we say in English
you finally know got through whatever barriers kept you from making that decision and finally you made a decision and
now it seems like the sky is blue and the air is clear and your mind is ready and
You know the adrenaline starts to flow things start to happen to you from that moment of decision
So that can be an incredible source of inspiration now if you don't follow through it's not gonna last all that long
if you decide and then you know
Postpone and and you decide and but you don't still don't get to it for a week or a month or a year?
You know soon all that energy and that source of inspiration
Is all dissipated so deciding is inspiring but but not for that long?
But once you decide it can be a very powerful day, but now of course you now you must follow through
But if there's some things you've been postponing
Some decisions you have just you know haven't gotten to I
Would ask you to just you know take out your journal and just go through you know what have I been postponing?
That's not gonna be better for my health. It's not gonna be better for my future. It's not going to enhance my finances
Maybe a problem needs to be solved. I got to decide when I'm gonna do it and and and how I'm gonna proceed
I need to get to it. I promise you if you'll go through some of that list
And start making those decisions
Your inspiration will start to flow and those could be very
critically important exciting days
Indecision is the thief of opportunity
Indecision means the door is still closed indecision means the opportunity waits
Indecision means, what could be is postponed or may never be?
you know that those are all the penalties of indecision and
Sometimes we can't make a snap judgment. We can't decide immediately on something so important, but after a while after awhile
We must understand sometimes they have a penalty of putting off our our decision-making
so one source of inspiration
Deciding here's the next one
Planning now that you've decided and you've started you start making plans
it's in
Incredible what can happen as a source of inspiration?
When finally what's in your head?
What's in your imagination now? Finally starts to take shape on paper?
When I first heard about network marketing
I was 25 years old and I heard some of the testimonials, and I heard that people have Gotten rich
And I've heard that
It's changed people's lives, and I've heard that you could start with nothing and become something
But let me tell you what was exciting when I?
Finally made the decision. Yes. I was going to be part of the industry. Yes
I was going to make it part of my marketing future
What was really exciting was when I sat down and started making plans I?
started committing
imagination and belief to Paper I
Started writing it down. I
Started started as we often do drawing those circles. You know what if I had five?
what if I had ten and
Then when I had a concept of what that could bring for me, then I said
How can I reach the first five how can I reach the first ten?
What could I do starting to make those plans? I'm telling you. I remember those days as if they were yesterday
They were so exciting
I had a concept of what I wanted I had a dream of what could happen for me. If it could happen for others
maybe it could happen for me, but when I started putting it on paper and
Started making the plans that
Was an Incredible source of inspiration for me
Because the plan seemed to now start making it real
That what I had thought about what I dreamed about now. I'm actually getting to it by making a plan
however
You can make all the plans in the world and it is a source of inspiration for only
so long and
You can make one plan and then you can make another plan and you can make some plans today and the next day you can
make some more plans and the next day you can make some more plans, and it is a very exciting source of inspiration, but only
for a while
I'm sure we would all agree that making plans that inspiration wouldn't last for a week
now
That inspiration now must drive you
to do number three the first source of inspiration is deciding second source of inspiration is planning and
Now here's a big source of inspiration
beginning
getting started
actually turning thought and
the notes on the paper the plans actually now committing it to
action getting started and
Beginning can be an incredible source of inspiration
Guess what you can say when you begin a change in your diet
When you begin to take the herbalife products guess what you can say, I'm on a new track. I
Have carved out for myself a new
Beginning, I'm on my way to the most incredible health I will never be the same again
I'm leaving the old
Undisciplined part of me. I'm leaving that behind
I'm a new person
I'm taking my first shake. I'm swallowing the first tablets I
Made my first you know walk around the block that I thought about for slow long and never did
I finally did it today I've started
I have begun that is an incredible source of inspiration and that is to start to begin
You cannot believe what can happen to your self-esteem and many of you have already experienced it
I'm just asking you to begin something new in all the areas of your life
Maybe you've always thought about benevolence, and you just haven't gotten started or you haven't made the plans or you haven't made the decision
I'm asking you to start taking that stuff now. That's in your head
That imagination. Which is very powerful and
It's a great source of inspiration in itself, but then I'm asking you then to decide use that inspiration
Then I'm asking you to make plans begin to make plans use that inspiration and then if you take that first step
it can be the first step of an Incredible Journey and
when Mark had his first meeting when mark recruited his first distributor
When mark got his first customer his grandmother using the product
When mark got that first few yeses from people and he started the process as simple as it was
You know from the trunk of his car
you know as crude as the literature wasn't the beginning it was a start and so beginning can be an
Incredible source of inspiration and
Beginning can be many things beginning a new commitment to learning
You say I'm gonna have a library second-to-none, and I bought the first book of my new library today
I'm gonna be surrounded by information and inspiration
The cassette tapes and the videos in the books. I'm gonna have a library second to none
I've thought about it wouldn't it be wonderful and
You know I've started making plans. You know I provided some space in my room for my expanded library
But here's what's exciting? I?
Got the first book today
I've gotten started. This is just the first of many
Many books this is the first of a whole flow of information for me. This is the first time
You want to learn a new skill?
and you sign up for a class let's say you want to learn accounting or something in you you sign up for the class and
You take the first class you get started you'd thought about it
You made some plans for it you made some time for it, but there's nothing like sitting there in the class
With the pin in your hand and the pad ready to take notes here. I am I'm starting on a new Journey of learning
remember that
Beginning is a fantastic source of inspiration
Planning is an Incredible source of inspiration
Deciding is an unbelievable source of inspiration, but now beginning
only lasts so long
If you begin that first week, and then you don't continue. Yes, you'll be inspired
By deciding and planning and beginning, but all of that now will start to fade away if you don't do
number four
one of the great sources of
Inspiration is progressing
Once you've gotten started now you proceed you progress
Now you go to class the second week you go to class the third week
But it's not only progressing in terms of time. It's progressing in terms of what you're learning
Progressing in terms of getting the information that you hadn't discovered before now you're excited about that
progress
One of the greatest sources of inspiration is progress
when you start jogging around the block and
You know at first it's a little difficult and then it's two blocks, and then you go around four or five times
But then you notice notice you're breathing easier
You notice when you go up a flight of stairs
you're not out of breath, and it suddenly occurs to you in a fairly short period Of time
You're making progress
with these
Incredible herbalife products when people first start taking the products and they've got some health challenges and they
discipline themselves
They do it the first day and the second day and the first week and the second week
But it isn't long if they've need some to lose some weight
You know a pound or two four or five pounds that is so
Incredibly exciting you don't have to wait for fifty pounds you don't have to wait for a hundred pounds
You know that first one that first two or three making progress?
Having more oxygen in your lungs
You can tell within a short period of time, I'm making progress on my my oxygen supply
I'm making progress on losing weight
Then when you start making progress in your business your ability to make contacts your ability to talk to people
Being so shy you decided one day. Hey, I've had enough with being too. Shy
I've made the decision. I'm making some plans
I'm gonna begin talking to people and you start and at first. It's difficult, but then
Very quickly, and it doesn't take a year. I'm telling you. It doesn't take a month that doesn't take a week I
Promise you even though you're a little bit shy if you'll just start
To introduce yourself if you'll just start to talk to someone you've never talked to before just get started
I promise you in a fairly short period of time because two things are happening one is
Deciding to overcome a liability
but also
understanding that
With this new skill now
With this new ability and with my progress no telling what I can accomplish
Because if I can get over the fear of talking to one I can get over the fear of talking to number 10
number 50 number 100 and by the time I get to number 50 and number 100
My self-confidence is gonna be so strong. My self-esteem is Gonna be so high
My new skill is Gonna show such incredible progress that I will never look back on the old ways
So what an incredible source of inspiration?
progressing I
jut addthis down
Happiness unhappiness is simply the lack of Progress toward a preset goal
If you're not making progress see that's when unhappiness sets in but here's where happiness begins
making
Progressive progress
You don't have to arrive
All at once you don't have to have it immediately
But as long as you're making progress as long as progress is part of your
experience now it is a fantastic source of
inspiration
Now here's the next one source of inspiration and that is achieving
When you finally have arrived at that goal that you said I?
Want to have this much experience and be able to do this by 30 days from now 60 days from now six months from now
And finally that six months passes and there you are finally the time passes and you have it
Finally the time passes and the skill is now beginning to be polished and it is so unique and effective
Achieving is an incredible source of inspiration, but here's what we notice
When you do achieve what it whatever you set out in the beginning where you decided and planned and you got started and you progressed?
when you finally achieve
That achievement is not much more
inspiration than when you decided
It's a different kind of inspiration. It's a different kind of feeling to having arrived
Knowing that you've got many other objectives to accomplish
Many other places you want to go things you want to do the person you want to become but at least I've got this one
You know I've done this one
I remember with way back when I wanted to do the training and I wanted to do teaching I would like to do seminars
because I saw people that had such a
magnificent effect on their audience they used the language to such an
unbelievable degree
I could tell that something was mixed from their heart and their soul and their mind and their
vocabulary and this mixture of stuff together
presented to someone's ears to hear and a heart maybe to believe in a mind to understand that the most incredible Magic could occur I
thought to myself if I could
Possibly do that
It would be the greatest feeling in the world
Later I've come to have one more goal. Which I I just probably won't ever attain and that is to be a singer
To not only speak the poetry to not only speak the language, but to sing it
accompanied by music
In my opinion, that's probably
the most awesome impact you can have on any person or any
group or any audience is the ability to communicate a message or a
poem or
lyrics or what you feel or what you know to communicate it by music and by song
To me it is the most
Incredible
Impact that one human can have on another or have on an audience, but next to that
Is to be able to feel strong about some ideas and have the ability to put it into words to put it into language
Drive it by Emotion have it mixed with experience
you know and all the stuff that goes on in your head and your heart and your soul and
Deliver it to the best of your ability even as I'm doing today to an unseen audience
But since I can visualize the audience and where it goes from here
And where it may go Beyond where it reaches even at the moment?
That inspires me to do my best to come up with ideas that will be meaningful and helpful to me
This this is the most incredible experience
You know the song I will never get there because you know Iii don't have that particular powerful talent
But next to it. I'm telling you you can have next to that
the most Incredible effect on someone else
Without a doubt you can stir someone's imagination you can reach that achievement
You can be there
what you've wished for and what you've dreamed for
if you will draw from the source of deciding that
inspiration and the inspiration of planning the inspiration of beginning and the inspiration of progressing
Then you will know this incredible
inspiration of achieving of
Finally getting there finally being the person finally accomplishing the goal and here's what's exciting about herbalife
We get to practice all of these
every day
All of this is working every day
simultaneously and that
simultaneous because some of you right now are achieving and
deciding and
Perhaps you have achieved and decided the same day
Because what you have achieved you have decided I'm going to multiply it now by two by three by five
So it's amazing how you can
Plan and decide begin and decide on something else you could be making progress in one area and deciding on on
starting another all of this can happen especially
in our social and our business life
combined
with our spiritual life and herbal life
All of this can be happening at the same time you know it's so amazing
to go to Salinas, California
Salinas is called the lettuce capital of the world
the soil is so rich it's unbelievable not far from there is Castroville and
Castroville is called the artichoke capital of the world and
within a few miles of there is a place called gilroy and
Gilroy is called the garlic capital of the world
They now have a garlic festival every year now over 300 thousand people come from all over to gilroy
California to get in on the Garlic Festival
not far from there is a place called, Watsonville and
WatSonville California is known as the strawberry capital of the world
All within a within a very short you you can drive to all of these little towns
within a very short period of time it only it doesn't take half a day and
Yet these are the capitals of the world in terms of productivity and the reason is because the soil is so
unusual
That in these areas you can grow two
three crops a year
Now as you know most of the world is restricted to you know one crop a year spring summer
harvest and then winter, but in this area
it's unbelievable when you drive through to see them harvesting in One field and
Planting in the field right next to it
harvesting and
Planting on the same day that they're harvesting they're planting
It's just it's just a phenomenal place, but you know that's true of herbalife
You can harvest and plant the same day you can achieve and decide
in a single day
You can be making progress in one area and having achieved something in another area all mixed in together all happens happening simultaneously
and at the same time I wanted to call that to your attention so that you would appreciate it and how
Our lives are so dramatically affected by the business
We do you know and our social life and our religious life and our life of the community
But especially the opportunity that herbalife offers for all of this to be working simultaneously
deciding planning beginning progressing achieving
Here's what's exciting about herbalife?
We get inspiration by inspiring others
This is a two-way
Instantaneous experience as we inspire we become inspired and now you
You it's difficult to fathom it you know with just our finite mind
but this thing called spirituality and human emotion is so
unbelievable that the two things can happen
Simultaneously at the same time as we inspire we become inspired
We are being taught by teaching as we teach we learn
sometimes we learn
What not to say because you know it didn't go over very well, and we just make a mental note. You know
I'm gonna dispense with that. I thought it was a clever idea turned out that it really wasn't, but we learn and we learn
simultaneously as we teach
It's incredible
we are becoming wealthy ourselves by creating wealth as
we create wealth we become wealthy as we give it out it comes to us as
We dispense it through our facilities of speech language spirit emotion eyes
Handshake contact as we do that
From Incredible sources now it comes flowing into our life and sometimes it flows
simultaneously
We are becoming wealthy by creating wealth
You can't have a much more exciting experience than that next I wrote down. We are changing by creating change
By helping others to change we change ourselves and sometimes we decide to make some changes the very same day
We're trying to help someone to change for the better
We're trying to help them change their mind. We're trying to help them change their position
We're trying to help them change their plan refine it so that it works better and as we do that. We suddenly find ourselves
changing
Now making mental notes as we go as I am now teaching as I'm helping someone to change by the way
I'm gonna start making the changes it is a powerful experience
We can have with all of this happening simultaneously at the same time
next
We progress by creating progress
We create progress for others we get them to grow and by helping them to grow we grow by
Helping them to succeed. We succeed. That's what happens to marcuse
Immediately he started helping people with their health immediately he started helping people with their financial future and as he helped them his
Came to him
He didn't even have to concentrate on what he was getting you know he didn't have to zero in on you know
What was how much was that for me today? He could forget that
All he had to do was invest in those early distributors invest his time
invest his energy invest his ideas invest his emotion and it and it just started coming as he
Gave it. So he received it
That is the awesome experience not just a verbal life. I understand this applies to all of our other social
Personal religious gifts and experiences, but but it works so well in what we're doing in herbalife
next
We become happy
by creating happiness
When we put a new pin on someone and it creates this incredible?
Joy for them that they finally arrived they did the meetings. They did the classes. They did all the stuff now
They've arrived we create this happiness for them by putting the pin on giving them a hug and giving them our congratulations
We create happiness for them, but it simultaneously
Raises our level of happiness to an incredible degree
We learn to see by creating sight in others if we can help them to see we can see
We develop our vision by inspiring vision
We develop
sight for someone we develop a future for someone and our future automatically then starts to develop and starts to grow and starts to
Expand as we develop vision
for others
Sources of inspiration, I thought you would enjoy
you
