The Mind of Youth: Expect Big Things From Young People by Bob Proctor

The mind knows nothing about time, space or age. If we could keep that in mind when dealing with people in different age categories than ourselves, we would communicate more effectively. Older people and younger people seem to be looked at differently than those who sit in the middle (wherever the "middle" might be).

But what constitutes "young"? We generally wait until an individual has been effectively programmed with a respectable amount of nonsense before we attempt to teach them information of any practical value. But babies can be taught to read before they can talk. Glenn Doman, at the Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential, has been doing that for 40 years.

(For that matter, what constitutes "old"? Colonel Sanders started his little fried chicken business with his first old-age pension check.) One of the questions I'm most commonly asked in seminars is, "How do you teach this information to children or to teens?"

My reply: "Much faster -- and with less effort."

A few years ago, I was approached by a number of network marketing parents in a particular company and asked to mentor a group of teens, ages 13 to 16. I spent one hour a week with the group on the telephone, for 12 weeks. At the end of the 12 weeks, every one of these teenagers stood on a stage in Kansas City in front of 10,000 people, totally relaxed... and taught the audience what they had learned about the workings of their minds.

The audience was amazed at what the teens had learned in such a short period of time. Some of the students went from C and D averages in school to A and B averages, overnight. The teens explained how altering and changing the images they held of themselves in their subconscious minds brought about immediate changes in their lives. They also understood that the techniques they were using to improve their grades in school would be equally effective in any and every area of their lives -- and that this had absolutely nothing to do with their age. Young people are just making up their minds, while to achieve the same results, their older and more programmed parents need to change their minds. The latter is much more difficult to do than the former.

The only thing young people lack is vocabulary and experience. Their minds operate in exactly the same way as their parents' do. We should encourage them to set big goals, to stretch and to expect the results they want. Help them understand that a young person involved in network marketing can become financially independent in a very short period of time by following the same rules their parents are encouraged to follow.

Teach them the same way you would teach anyone else -- and expect the best.

"We need someone to believe in us -- if we do well, we want our work commended, our faith corroborated. The individual who thinks well of you, who keeps his mind on your good qualities, and does not look for your flaws, is your friend. Who is my brother? I'll tell you: he is the one who recognizes the good in me."  Elbert Hubbard

The Four Emotions That Can Lead to Life Change by Jim Rohn (excerpted from Seven Strategies for Wealth and Happiness)

Emotions are the most powerful forces inside us. Under the power of emotions, human beings can perform the most heroic (as well as barbaric) acts. To a great degree, civilization itself can be defined as the intelligent channeling of human emotion. Emotions are fuel and the mind is the pilot, which together propel the ship of civilized progress.

Which emotions cause people to act? There are four basic ones; each, or a combination of several, can trigger the most incredible activity. The day that you allow these emotions to fuel your desire is the day you'll turn your life around.

1) Disgust:
One does not usually equate the word "disgust" with positive action. And yet properly channeled, disgust can change a person's life. The person who feels disgusted has reached a point of no return. He or she is ready to throw down the gauntlet at life and say, "I've had it!" That's what I said after many humiliating experiences at age 25, I said. "I don't want to live like this anymore.

I've had it with being broke. I've had it with being embarrassed, and I've had it with lying."

Yes, productive feelings of disgust come when a person says, "Enough is enough."

The "guy" has finally had it with mediocrity. He's had it with those awful sick feelings of fear, pain and humiliation. He then decides he is not going to live like this anymore." Look out! This could be the day that turns a life around. Call it what you will, the "I've had it" day, the "never again" day, the "enough's enough" day. Whatever you call it, it's powerful! There is nothing so life-changing as gut-wrenching disgust!

2) Decision:
Most of us need to be pushed to the wall to make decisions. And once we reach this point, we have to deal with the conflicting emotions that come with making them. We have reached a fork in the road. Now this fork can be a two-prong, three-prong, or even a four-prong fork. No wonder that decision-making can create knots in stomachs, keep us awake in the middle of the night, or make us break out in a cold sweat.

Making life-changing decisions can be likened to internal civil war. Conflicting armies of emotions, each with its own arsenal of reasons, battle each other for supremacy of our minds. And our resulting decisions, whether bold or timid, well thought out or impulsive, can either set the course of action or blind it. I don't have much advice to give you about decision-making except this:

Whatever you do, don't camp at the fork in the road. Decide. It's far better to make a wrong decision than to not make one at all. Each of us must confront our emotional turmoil and sort out our feelings.

3) Desire:
How does one gain desire? I don't think I can answer this directly because there are many ways. But I do know two things about desire:

a. It comes from the inside not the outside.
b. It can be triggered by outside forces.

Almost anything can trigger desire. It's a matter of timing as much as preparation. It might be a song that tugs at the heart. It might be a memorable sermon. It might be a movie, a conversation with a friend, a confrontation with the enemy, or a bitter experience. Even a book or an article such as this one can trigger the inner mechanism that will make some people say, "I want it now!"

Therefore, while searching for your "hot button" of pure, raw desire, welcome into your life each positive experience. Don't erect a wall to protect you from experiencing life. The same wall that keeps out your disappointment also keeps out the sunlight of enriching experiences. So let life touch you. The next touch could be the one that turns your life around.

4) Resolve:
Resolve says, "I will." These two words are among the most potent in the English language. I WILL. Benjamin Disraeli, the great British statesman, once said, "Nothing can resist a human will that will stake even its existence on the extent of its purpose." In other words, when someone resolves to "do or die," nothing can stop him.

The mountain climber says, "I will climb the mountain. They've told me it's too high, it's too far, it's too steep, it's too rocky, it's too difficult. But it's my mountain. I will climb it. You'll soon see me waving from the top or you'll never see me, because unless I reach the peak, I'm not coming back." Who can argue with such resolve?

When confronted with such iron-will determination, I can see Time, Fate and Circumstance calling a hasty conference and deciding, "We might as well let him have his dream. He's said he's going to get there or die trying."

The best definition for "resolve" I've ever heard came from a schoolgirl in Foster City, California. Many years ago, I was lecturing about success to a group of bright kids at a junior high school. I asked, "Who can tell me what "resolve" means?" Several hands went up, and I did get some pretty good definitions. But the last was the best. A shy girl from the back of the room got up and said with quiet intensity, "I think resolve means promising yourself you will never give up." That's it! That's the best definition I've ever heard: 'Promise Yourself You'll Never Give Up'.

Think about it! How long should a baby try to learn how to walk? How long would you give the average baby before you say, "That's it, you've had your chance"? You say that's crazy? Of course it is. Any mother would say, "My baby is going to keep trying until he learns how to walk!" No wonder everyone walks.

There is a vital lesson in this. Ask yourself, "How long am I going to work to make my dreams come true?" I suggest you answer, "As long as it takes." That's what these four emotions are all about.

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn
