Learn to Deal in Challenges

To really help people in extraordinary ways, learn to deal
in 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
challenge to be so gifted in language that someone sees it.
Insight is unbelievable; only human beings can do this.

The man closes his eyes and puts his hands over his eyes
and says, "I see it." You say, "No, you don't; you've got
your eyes closed." No. There is more than one way to see.

And all someone has to do is to see an answer that they can
start on immediately, and within six months, their life
could start to multiply and change. Within one year, the
difference will be extraordinary, and a person who was lost
now becomes a person of influence -- just because someone
helped them to see for the moment what was wrong and the
possibility to change it. And then the challenge 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 build
an enterprise. Let's work on this together." See, I always
respond better to "let's."

Sometimes it is hard to lift yourself out. It's hard to be
self-inspired at first. And if someone says, "Come on, let's
start a new program." "Come on, let's do exercises." "Come
on, let's get healthy." "Come on, let's start something.
I'll be there, you be there, and you bring a guest and I'll
bring a guest -- let's start something."

That is so inspiring to have somebody say "let's." "Let's do
it." "Let's build a team." "Let's win the championship."
"Let's walk off with the trophy."

"Let's." Wow, there is something about that that can keep
you awake at nights. There is something about that that
turns on the juices. There is something about that that
reaches deep in the soul.

For a person could do extraordinary things when somebody
says "let's." "Let's do it." "I've got two with me already;
if you'll be the next one, we can conquer the world." You
say, "Whoa, together nobody is a match for us." By
yourself, you're vulnerable; but with us, nobody is a
match. You say, "Wow! I want to belong to that team." So
figure out ways to say "let's."
