    I'm from Miami and lived in the streets struggling with addiction for over 35 years now. I heard of the service's in N.Y. City and made my way up there because I demanded a better quality of life for myself. I put myself into residential treatment and have been clean and sober for over 19 months now. Yesterday I signed a lease for my own apartment and move in Feb the 1st. I've been watching Impact Theory for 16 months now and has helped me with my recovery more than Tom will ever know. I'm writing a book on my life that I'm hoping he will read some day. If there is anyone out there strugling with addiction trying to get their life together. I want you to know that if I can do it, you can do it! Change your mindset and never give up!!

      That left my mouth wide open. I work with children ages 3-17 and when they start to reach ages 7-9, I see them confirming and learning self doubt. I try to reverse it. But sometimes society and their upbringing makes that a hard battle.

    Les Brown made a trip from wherever he was to Miami, on a request from my teenage daughter. When he enquired about payment she responded honestly that the church group that she represented had no funds and they could only pay for his accommodations, he was so impressed by the honesty and confidence of this young lady that he saw reason to donate his time for free, even without ever personally meeting anyone in the congregation. That is what I call giving back. Much thanx to this enduring spirit of charity.

    I grew up in Hialeah, FL and worked a few blocks away from Liberty city where Mr. Les Brown is from. Liberty City is THE most poverty stricken and violent part of S. FL. Even cops don't go in there unless they are related to someone who lives there. Booker T. Washington HS is a real tough school. If Mr. Brown was able to climb out of there and become the man he is today, any one of us can do the same!

This man really changed my life for the better. And that is why i am here in the early hours in the morning from South Africa listening to him because i know what he did for me. I respect Les Brown a lot and his talks and voice are stuck in my subconscious mind forever.

      @♜ Pinned by Tom Bilyeu Maybe you were asking what parasitic cleanser Is good. Wormwood from Hannah Kroeger, also, W.W. from Pure Herbs. Acai Berry Cleanse is a good cleanser without leaving the body feeling naked, as some laxatives do. But only take one capsule every other day until a soft consistency is achieved, then take one capsule every two days for 30 days. Along with those two, it's very impoortant to take a good immune builder. Goldenseal Root is one of the best. Some brands claim it's the root and are a dark yellow, almost green in color. That is goldenseal root. The bright yellow capsules are the flowers and are not effective. Take one capsule of the goldenseal for each 50 lb of body weight, twice a day. Take one capsule of the parasitic for every 100 lb of body weight, once a day. Take the cleanser once every other day, then once every other day for 30 days. Let the body rest for a month, and repeat.

    I love his teachings. When I first started working in the corporate world, I was so scared. I used to get breakdowns every couple of minutes. I would go to the washroom and cry my eyes out. I decided I wasn't gonna come back to work the following morning. When I walked back to my desk, I went on YT and searched, "how to quit your job with courage." and I came across his video, "have courage". I downloaded it on my phone and listened to it on my way home. Long story short, I didn't quit. And this job turned out to be one of the most beautiful things I have done.

    I want to be friends with all the people commenting, we are all studying Less Brown and recognize his greatness. I study this interview often because he brought his A game

    Les is so Optimistic it stops him from aging. He looks like he just turned 30 years old.

      I looked him up online as I assumed that he was probably around 50 but looked 30, my eyes widened when I saw he was 74!!

    Do what you can to meet Les Brown in-person. I met him 7 years ago and is as genuine in conversations as he is when the lights are showing.

    5:33am, can't sleep, brother in law sent me this.
    Thank you, God, for all that you've done in my life.
    Just watched it and now I'm lying here crying. Thank you, God, for finding me and saving me. Thank you, God, for the way YOU keep sending me messages to remind me that through YOU all things are possible. Thank you, God, for loving the totally imperfect me......
