But look at him as if he were what he could be.

Then he becomes what he should be.

I've found that most people fail in life, not because they aim too high and miss.

Most people fail in life because they aim too low and hit.

And many don't aim at all.

So raise the bar on yourself and don't ask how you're going to do it.

I'll never forget when I decided that I wanted to become a motivational speaker, I saw the

the late Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, and my heart said, I can do that.

But my mind asked the question, how?

And for over 14 years, for 14 years, I would go see Zig Ziglar and Dr. Norman Vincent Peale and Jim Rohn and different speakers, and I would be in the audience, and my heart would pounce and say, you can do that, you can do that, Les.

And then when I would leave, I would be going to the parking lot, and my mind said, how are you going to do it?

I spent so many years trying to figure out how.

I wasted 14 years.

How many of you ever procrastinated?

Raise your hands, please.

Yeah, see, so as you begin to think about your goals, the most important thing is, and write this down, commit yourself.

See, once you commit yourself, the how will come.

The way will come.

Once you commit yourself, you will then figure it out.

And if you're going in the wrong direction, all you have to do is turn around and go in the other direction.
