We all have bullies in our life but what’s really important is whether we let them steal our dream or not. Not only is this an amazing story of a 13-year-old, but a remarkable talent as well. Reminds me a lot of Paul Potts.
Be sure and listen to what Simon has to say at the end of the video — there’s a HUGE lesson there.
It’s everywhere you turn — somebody’s teaching on the Law of Attraction. But talking to most people it doesn’t sound like it’s working. We just posted a Bob Proctor video on our Claim Your Power Now blog that answers the question. As one person commented, “it’s vintage Bob Proctor.” See Bob Proctor: Why the Law of Attraction Isn’t Working…
Earlier I wrote a post using the old Persian proverb, “I wept because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.” So many times we’re focused on what we don’t have that we can never get around to using the gifts that we do have.
The lady in this video does have feet. In fact, it’s amazing what she does with them.
As my friend, Michael Angier, told his SuccessNet.org subscribers:
“If you ever feel like you can’t do something, watch this video.
If you ever feel sorry for yourself, watch this video.
If you ever start to complain or make excuses for not fulfilling more of your potential, watch this video.”

Here’s a follow up to the post I made several months ago.
Several weeks ago I spoke to a group in Houston and I showed them the pictures below.
Do you recognize Thomas Edison, Cher, Walt Disney, Richard Branson, Jay Leno, Whoopi Goldberg, Ted Turner and my hero Winston Churchill?
Then I asked the audience what they all had in common.
Can you guess?
There were quite a few answers from the audience and they were all wrong. It was only after I pulled out $100 and offered it as a prize that a person in the back overcame his fear of being wrong and volunteered the correct answer….
….they were all dyslexic!
I pointed out that the role that made each of them famous also required a lot of reading. Do you know how hard it is for a dyslexic person to read?
But not a single one of those great people that I cited let dyslexia keep them from being all they were created to be.
That’s why one of my most favorite quotes is, “It’s not what you are that holds you back, it’s what you think you’re not.”
I use that quote by Denis Waitley virtually every time I speak to an audience.
Because it really speaks to the problem I think most people have in struggling for success — they believe they’re lacking something that if they possessed it would make them successful. When the truth is, they already possess everything they need to be successful hey just need to learn how to use it to their advantage.
One of the easiest ways to change a limiting belief is to study the “evidence” — find the truth. The Internet makes it so easy to research that particular challenge you find limiting. Look for people who’ve gone on to great success despite the same challenge. Study them in depth and model what they did to achieve their goals.
And please never forget this, “It’s not what you are that holds you back, it’s what you think you’re not.”
You’re probably familiar with the old Persian proverb, “I wept because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.” So many times we’re focused on what we don’t have that we can never get around to using the gifts that we do have.
When I run across someone whose using their gifts without regard to their supposed handicap, I try to honor them in some way because they inspire all of us to look inside at the greatness we’re capable of. 
Dax Crum is a Division 1 college basketball player in the U.S. Now that in itself is very special because very basketball players ever reach that level of play. But what makes Dax a hero to me is that he plays at that super-competitive level with ONE HAND. And play he does — as this Fox Sports video shows.
There’s been a lot of talk in recent years about the Law of Attraction, and one of the key principles of that law is “whatever you focus on expands.” Focus on your lack and you’ll get more of it. Focus on your abundance and it will expand. It’s obvious that Dax focuses on the strengths that he has — and he makes the most of them. And so can YOU!
My friend Bob Burg has co-authored a great new book with John David Mann. The Go-Giver is a fictional story that teaches one of the most powerful success principles in the world — why giving more ALWAYS results in getting more.
Best selling author Pat Williams called it, “the best business parable since The Greatest Salesman in the World and The One Minute Manager.” And if you’ve read those books you know they are incredible!
It’s five-gold star rated at Amazon and headed to the top of the best seller list. Check it out here….
One of my favorite Denis Waitley quotes is “it’s not what you are that holds you back. It’s what you think you’re not.”
I’ve often said that we have an unhealthy preoccupation with such conditions as ADD (attention deficit disorder), ADHD and dyslexia. Too many people believe those conditions are the cause of what’s holding them back.
Now comes a great article in Business Week that is actually titled “Why Dyslexics Make Great Entrepreneurs.”
Is it true? Ask billionaire Richard Branson, Kinko’s founder Paul Orfalea (he has dsylexia AND ADHD), Charles Schwab and other famous entrepreneurs and CEOs.
Ironically, instead of being a hindrance, these conditions are actually “gifts.” Read the full story for some great insight and inspiration…

The quote, “You want something. Go get it. Period.”, is from a phenomenal movie I watched at home the other night that I missed when it was in theatres. Pursuit of Happyness
This movie is in my permanent DVD collection and I can’t wait until my grandchildren are old enough to understand it. You can get a copy at Amazon
My friend, Dr. Philip Humbert, is one of the most insightful writers I know. His current message to his subscribers is a great example of his insight:
This week I reviewed some notes I took at a Seminar with Jim Rohn several years ago, and one of Jim’s many amazing insights jumped out at me. Jim has helped thousands of people reach their goals and I want to share just one of the KEY pieces that impressed me.
I was reminded that success is based on a simple 3-step process:
>>> First — What We See
I’m told that the average American sees over 3000 marketing messages every day. They are everywhere! Fortunately, we have learned to ignore the vast majority of them.
In the same way, at this very moment you are breathing, you are sitting on a chair, and a there are a thousand things going on around you that your brain automatically filters out to let you concentrate. Our ability to “filter” allows us to survive! If we couldn’t do that, we would be over-whelmed and unable to function.
Out of all that “data” around us, we select a few things to notice and care about. We respond to a baby’s cry. We answer a ringing telephone. We focus on our bank statement, our bills, a lover’s touch and so forth, and this is important - high achievers focus on (”see”) things differently than failures!
High achievers literally do not “see” the television programs others find captivating! High achievers “see” opportunities others miss. They “see” solutions others ignore.
What you “see” or focus on determines your destiny.
>>> Second — How We Interpret What We See
Shakespeare observed that nothing is “good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” Most people know the story about the glass that is either “half-full” or “half-empty.” Everything we “see” is interpreted and the only difference is that winners constantly interpret life in ways that work to their advantage.
Where one person interprets a slumping economy as threatening their business, another finds an opportunity for growth. Where one person sees a problem, another seizes opportunity.
Winners view things differently. They grasp solutions, seize opportunities and find reasons for optimism.
>>> Third — What We DO About What We See
Everything comes down to action. Peak performers actually DO get up a bit earlier, stay a bit later, and work harder (and smarter) than other people. In the end, our lives are not created by our intentions but by the results of our daily activities.
Now, it is true that our actions are shaped by many things! Of course painful experiences and mis-fortune and bad luck play a part. Let’s not kid ourselves. But the most important influences on our daily actions are (1) what we see, (2) how we interpret what we see, and (3) how we respond.
The steps to success begin by surrounding ourselves with things that move us forward. Read great books! Listen to great audio programs! Get around smart, talented, creative people! If you see stress and trouble every day, you will be influenced by it. If you see opportunity and optimism, if you see determination and courage and hope, you will inevitably be shaped by these things.
Here are two practical applications of these truths:
1. I no longer subscribe to a daily newspaper. For many years I was addicted to it, but then I noticed that starting my day with 20 minutes of trouble and controversy was not creating the life I wanted. So I took action, canceled our subscription and now I read something more useful.
2. Every week, I work with a personal coach who reminds me of my values and goals. Every year, I attend at least two personal development seminars. I hang out where the GOOD stuff and the GREAT people are!
Invest in your future. Get where the GOOD stuff is!

Aviva, one of our Champions Club alumni, sent me an incredible video that really brings to life this powerful quote of James Allen’s.
Paul Potts was a cell-phone salesman who dreamed of spending his life “doing what I feel I was born to do.” Watch him as he takes a huge step toward that dream.
WARNING: This video may cause goose bumps and even tears. Watch at your own risk…and then get your dream out…polish it off….and put it back on the mantle so you see it every day.
