Summary
In this episode, Les Brown shows us that success is first established in mind. It starts with your thoughts, and in particular, having a clear vision about what you want to achieve.
According to Les, we can't control the thoughts that come into our minds, but we can control the thoughts that we dwell on. This highlights his firm belief that our thoughts have power and influence over our lives.
However, vision alone does not guarantee outstanding achievements and success. Les says that there must be on your part a willingness to do what is required. Struggles and mistakes will pile up, but all these are part of growing. After all, to live life to the fullest is to experience it as a whole. Nevertheless, he reminds us that anything worth doing is worth doing badly.

| 0:41.1 | know, I love to play less brown on Mondays to get our week going, right? And |
| 0:47.2 | over the last four and a half years, I've played so much less brown stuff |
| 0:51.9 | that I've been having a hard time finding new clips. And this week, I just |
| 0:56.4 | happened to randomly stumble upon a less brown video that I hadn't seen |
| 1:01.5 | before. So we got at least like three or four more episodes of less brown |

| 1:25.4 | That's not important. Just shut up. Get that. How is none of your business |
| 1:29.9 | because of our mental conditioning ladies and gentlemen, we unconsciously |
| 1:34.5 | build a case on why we can't do something. When I went to go into area of |
| 1:38.5 | motivation, I stopped building a case for myself. Unless you can't do that. |
