So many people are so scared of failing that they think, well, I'm not going to, I've

written a book, but I never show it to anyone. I've got an idea, but what if it doesn't work?

And when they begin to see, oh, it all tracks back to a thought which I'm free to change.

It's very liberating. It's very empowering.

Really, the only thing wrong with these, you don't think you're good enough.

But it's very simple to think a different thought, because we own our thoughts.

We have to remember something. The mind has no choice but to act on our thoughts.

We have an incredible choice to think better thoughts.

Strongest force in all of us is we must act in a way that matches how we define ourselves.

So your mind's job is to make your thoughts real. The job of your mind is to listen to your thoughts

and to start to make them real.

I don't know what I was thinking of. How did I end up in this mess? Well, you were thinking.

You were thinking, I'm not going to succeed. Everything's not going to work out.

If I start that business, it will fail. If I write the essay, it will get a bad mark.

So I'm just going to procrastinate here and do nothing.

And then I can't fail. When you take people back to that, you know, procrastination and self-sabotage

is nothing more than a reaction to a thought that I'm not enough.

My mind believes that everything I tell it must be true, whether it's good or bad,

helpful or very hurtful. So we've got to get into the excellent habit of saying,

I can do this. I've got this. This has got my name all over it. No one can do this.

I think it could. I can still do it my way.

Somebody like Eminem, who's a great reference for lost kids because nobody believed in him.
