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
may be a decision you 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 a 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 going
to last all that long if you decide and
then you know postpone 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 it's not going to be better
for my health it's not going to 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 going to do it and then how I'm
going to 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 a while we must
understand sometimes they have a penalty
of putting off 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 10
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 a beginning a new commitment to
learning you say I'm going to have a
library second to none and I bought the
first
book of my new library today I'm going
to be surrounded by information and
inspiration of the cassette tapes and
the videos and the books I'm going to
have a library second to none I've
thought about it there 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 if 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 laughs 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 in the second day in the first
week in the second week but it isn't
long if they 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 on making some
plans I'm going to 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 it 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 ten number
fifty number 100 and by the time I get
to number fifty and number 100
my self-confidence is going to be so
strong my self-esteem is going to be so
high my new skill is going to show such
incredible progress that I will never
look back on the old ways so what an
incredible source of inspiration
progressing I jotted this 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 source of inspiration and that is
achieving when you finally have arrived
at that goal that you set 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 in it is so unique and
effective achieving is an incredible
source of inspiration but here's what we
notice when you do achieve with 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 and 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 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 is the
most incredible experience you know the
song I will never get there because you
know I don't have that particular
powerful talent but next to it I'm
telling you you can have next to that
the
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 can 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
happen 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 it's difficult to fathom it
you know it's 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 going to
dispense with that I thought it was a
clever idea
turned out that there 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 going to 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
investors 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 thought you would enjoy
you
