Learn to Deal in Challenges
To really help people in extraordinary ways, learn to dealin challenges. That is what sports is all about, challenges.That is what music is all about. The challenge to play so well someone is inspired. The challenge to say it so well someone gets it. The challengeto be so gifted in language that someone sees it. Insight isunbelievable; only human beings can do this. The man closes his eyes and puts his hands over his eyes andsays, "I see it." You say, "No, you don't, you've got youreyes closed." No. There is more than one way to see. And allsomeone has to do is to see an answer that they can start onimmediately and within six months their life could start tomultiply and change. Within one year, the difference will be extraordinary and aperson who was lost now becomes a person of influence. Justbecause someone helped them to see, for the moment, what waswrong and the possibility to change it. And then thechallenge to go do it and do it well. Now here is the best challenge of all, "Let's go do it."Don't always say, "You go do it, you change", but rather,"Let's get healthy, let's go change the world, let's buildan enterprise, let's work on this together." See I alwaysrespond better to, "Let's". Sometimes it is hard to lift yourself out. It's hard to beself inspired at first, and if someone says, "Come on let'sstart a new program", "Come on let's do exercises", "Come onlet's get healthy", "Come on let's start something. I'll be there you be there and you bring a guest and I'llbring a guest, let's start something." That is so inspiringto have somebody say, "Let's, Let's do it. Let's build ateam. Let's win the championship. Let's walk off with thetrophy." "Let's" - Wow, there is something about that that can keepyou awake at nights. There is something about that thatturns on the juices. There is something about that thatreaches deep in the soul. For a person that could do extraordinary things whensomebody says, "Let's, Let's do it". I've got two with mealready if you'll be the next one we can conquer the world."You say, "Whoa. Together nobody is a match for us." Byyourself you're vulnerable; but with us, nobody is a match.You say, "Wow! I want to belong tothat team." So figure out ways to say, "Let's."
