Les Brown is one awesome guy, if I could ever meet him in person I'd probably shake his hand and tell him thank you for everything you have done and people my situation from working a job for 10 years and enjoying it then basically giving me treated like a slave, it's starting my own business working full-time being a farrier that I've been part time for the last 15 plus years but doing it full time and being a full-time business owner. Thinking a lot of people in my life such as God and family but one person that I've never met would be Les Brown he has really helped me understand understand business and how you have to jump off the ledge full feet and hit the bottom way down. I have learned that now now that I'm doing businesses and doing account work and all that stuff but unfortunately it's the fun part of just jumping and doing it and not worrying about the risk what could happen as he says you could lose everything or you could do good now which one are you afraid of losing or winning unfortunately after everything that's been happening my life due to losing my hands losing a dear friend of mine and situations in my life I am pretty much the second one I'm cautious jump forward and get it done you can't learn from scratches. So Thank You Les Brown would love to meet you in person
listening to the likes of Les brown and Eric thomas has changed my life around completely. Because of some unfortunate circumstances that happened in mine I managed to sabotage most of my own beliefs and come to the conclusion that a lot of things were not possible for me. It took a while but after time I realised that listening to this stuff everyday and filling my mind with positive thoughts that I could change my way of thinking until positive thoughts became automatic. Now I realise that anything is possible and i will fulfill all of my dreams. I believe anyone can find what they look for in life if they put enough work in
i listen to his voice every single day... this man has a reason behind his life ..... i'm sure i will be there soon.... i'll say to myself "yes its possible"..... ""yes i'm special" .......
Jeremiah 29:11 ALL of us have a purpose. All of us have passions, desires and dreams that are threaded into our "being" to help us live out our purpose. Thank you for the inspiration Les Brown. God bless you. ☺
Because of changing my thoughts, about my self worth. And doing a self examination, I can now train others to get to where I am ,. I found out that yes I'm a great carpenter, but I'm a better people person. I'm now a construction project sales specialist, and in my first 3 years of doing it, i was #1 in the district out of several, and this year became the first in my region to break the 1 million dollar mark, and am now top 5 for the Fortune 500 company that im blessed to be a part of. You must grow your mind and your paycheck will follow!!!
In my past, all I cared about was what other people felt or did things always to please others. I never took care of me. I will never ever hurt myself again like that. I will stand up for myself and God help anyone who ever trys to break me or my spirit down... I won't even wait a minute to get them out of my life....
thank you Les Brown your words are so true and have much power behind them ! this is Judith you know me ..... I am lifting you up in prayer as you do your clinical work ! I know you're going to come out better healthier and stronger !!! 🌄🌄🌄🌄🌄💜💜💜💜💜 we all are better because of you can't wait to see you again keep smiling ! AMEN I AGREE
Thank you sir, I haven't listened to you since I got out of prison back in 2002. You gave me strength then and now you do once again. Your wisdom is a lighthouse for all of us, I appreciate you and you make such a difference sir.
I'm really trying to mentally work on myself first, fear stops me from doing things-leaves me paranoid but when I listen to les and other motivational speeches, I feel this surge of power. It's true. I've got the key to the car. All I have to do is start driving it. 🔑🚗🏆
And God has cried along with you... Our tears and suffering hurts God bringing him to tears but NO MORE! No more tears as long as we have God we will never loose but only win... Tears is a sign of opening up our heart's to God, God bless you always
Les Brown........ If know one hasn't told you yet already today... YOU THE F$#%ING MAN!!!! Thank you Les for carving those words into the for front of my thinking! Keep up the preaching it's traveling farther than an wider than you might even think! Today.... It resonated very strongly with me all the way over in Sydney Australia. Thank you... for helping me , be me...!
psalm 23:4 King James Bible Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL: FOR THOU ART WITH ME ; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.psalm 56:4 King James Bible In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I WILL NOT FEAR WHAT THE FLESH CAN DO UNTO ME.This message from Les Brown is so POWERFUL, I have listen to it two days on repeat and shared it with others. This is the water that our buried talents need to grow and multiple.
I loved this video... I'm there now, dead end position still even though until 2 months ago, I didn't have a job either so that was my first step. But I'm dead inside, unable to feel anything except fear, grief, loss, and shame, regret, rage and anger,... Compounded with no self-respect, esteem or confidence. But I got me here... Just me. I get stronger every day that I show up for work. My job like my life, is literally cleaning up messes made by others, meaning toilets. I come home to be disrespected. I want to give up but I can't. I'm living proof that the body can survive the splintering of the soul. "I'm fine", is all people want to hear. Thank you for this video. This second, maybe I can try one more time. Thats what matters most, yes? I hope...
Donna Yoder keep you head up. If you do what is easy, your life will be hard! Sometimes it's easy to have that dead feeling inside. You have to dig your heels in and keep going. Iv been in your shoes and still find myself there. I currently struggle with PTSD and anxiety and I can tell you there are days that are difficult. But i have to keep moving toward! So do you!
You have already won the battle, and you don't even know it yet, for It all begins with and idea, a goal, a drive, a seed, and you my dear Donna have been watering that seed inadvertently. Rise!
Watching these videos are not enough you gotta have faith and DO IT for sake of it. ACTION will change everything IF YOU DECIDE just DECIDE that you want to face fear and willing to fight it no matter how many times you fail and feel miserable. Finally, change and success will come in small scales and step by step and you will eventually get there. It wont happen in one week, one month or year it may takes few years to get the life you want or person you want to be so you gotta be PATIENT and not GIVE UP or GIVE IN. well this was my story of overcoming my social anxiety and become a person i want to be i have faced and fought it and yet to this day I AM STILL FIGHTING IT. I have decided to challenge myself time and time again just like me moving so far away to set up my new life and with all challenges and obstacles are waiting for me i m going to DO IT anyway because i learned to FACE THE FEAR not run from it. GOOD LUCK TO ANYONE
I finally got into medical school after my third try. I remember listening to this video and saying to myself : "I will be a doctor no matter what! I will face my fears head on." Now that I started, I have to push myself and not give up. It is hard but I want to thank Les Brown for making me feel that I can fail two times and still work on my dream.
I messed up in 2017. Lost my way; suffered and never saw hope. I've been tired of myself because this is not me! I will fear no evil and take the risk on any opportunity no matter the fear because I deserve it....I will invest on myself!
god bless! our creator is not against us. we fight as one with him against daily tenptation. if you are feeling depressed as i and many of us have at times in our life never forget that god is only a prayer away. beleive in the power of prayer and you may be suprised as of what happens. BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRAYER!!
Urrudhwjne Ggssehdhhd , Please kindly use capital letter G when you are referring to God, as He is a great God and a Supreme God ! If u use lower case it means you are dealing or referring to the gods of the earth or darkness! Thank you.
Led Brown is one of the few black speakers, very dynamic, one of our youth somewhere is preparing to carry the torch. God bless you, your peers need you.
I always wanted to travel, and every nody told me that its not convenient because I have kids, married, etc... and I convinced myself that it was ok... after listening Les Brown in 2017 I trabeled to Germany and France and in 2019 I traveled to Germany and Italy... He helped me break fears...
Listen to tgis plenty of times a more than i can. It helped me. Now my little sister is also going through what we all go through. I passed this to her and now shes listening ti les brown to guide her as he guided me with his motivational speeches.
Powerful message. It's a life changer for sure. I love how Les Brown not only motivates people but he challenges them to examine themselves. This is exactly what we must be doing every single day.
I so needed this talking to by Les. He's someone who knows, someone who cares. Step 1: Out go the toxics. Step 2: Distance from the negatives. Step 3: Don't broadcast your dream, let it be your secret for now. Step 4: Set your personal mantra, your favourite quote. Step 5: Research your dream. Take some free career development courses with like minded people. Step 6: Deep breath....step forward into your next phase well armed with knowledge and a contingency plan. Step 7: Nonchalantly reveal to some....you had this dream and it's WORKING OUT! YAY x
Amen! My purpose has always been children and teaching them about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Wonderful video. God bless and have a wonderful week ❤️
I’ve been in this business I created a lot of opportunities most have failed on me and most are still there but it’s OK because this is teaching me I’m learning from it and that’s what life is about to learn and to grow may God be with all of you ... Amway all the way!!!!
Amen! When the Lord Jesus Christ let me know my purpose was to bring children to Him. Taking a leap of Faith each day keeps me going. Wonderful video of Truth! God bless and have a great day ❤
Listening to Me a Brown has taught me many things, but most of all and most important... Stop negative, toxic self talk!! I was my own worst enemy and winning the battle of killing myself on a daily basis through self abusing, destructive negative thinking. It's healthy and liberating to love who God made you to be :) Pick up your chin, look into your eyes and agree with God.. You are fearfully and wonderfully made by God. Amen
This means so much to me because to me it means I will remain faithful to my inner child, the little girl that believes in people and my dreams.. So incredible how a child can be so strong and insightful.
Les is my favorite speaker, Im currently working a junky job in concrete atm but I am aspiring to go to college in the fall to persue my dream, I feel like les abd myself have put my life on the track of growth and positivity
This speech motivated me because it help me accomplish that true happines comes when you look to yourself and examine that material things dont matter but helping people matter and doing what u love and everything will follow.
Thank you Leslie. You’re helping people around the world perhaps without even knowing. I’m going to be successful to give my family a secure and happy life and future. I’ll write to you when I get there
This is the voice, they helped save my life. I think if you can really listen to everything he says, an not just parts you want to hear, I think it can empower you as it did me.
The battle ground is in your mind, learn to think differently. It is not the movement of the clock but the movement in your mind. I encourage everyone to read the word. You will never be the same.
I learned about the power of talks like this not that long ago, but Les Brown talks have had a profound impact in my life; Very thankful he does what he does.
This is a awake call Thanks Les I so needed this I want to be a restate investor's wholesaler and I aways wanted to be in control of my destiny I lost my job so now I have no other choice but to face my fears of being investors but I know. In my heart and soul I can do this I just have to believe
Les makes us realise that we had a dream as a child and somehow we forget our dreams.No matter how old you are you will still remember what your dream was as a child.Even if you don't attain what you wanted to be as a child doesn't make you a failure, as you think back as a child of your dreams it will somehow give you a feeling of being a child again, the dream we all have will never be taken away from us and even if it's a second of time that you think of being a child and wanting to be someone then we will always be a dreamer. Don't be institutional to the city intellectuals that are truely divorced to full blooded force of the common people.They tell us that economics are boring and you don't want to study that, what they don't tell you is economics is what the globe is at the present run on.Study economics you will end up being part of the top individuals in your country and maybe then they will listen to your dream
@@aaronUK2006 Thanks for this beautiful information. I am happy to hear that Les BROWN is still in this life time, however, there is no death, just a transformation from place to another, positive or negative, depend on ones deeds🌞✨
I have been listening Les brown's power full speech for about a year now and he literally changed my mind set and the way I see my self, I couldn't believe how I start to see things come together and get better and transformed my life in to a new mind set.. Thanks les brown

Fear no evil(see no evil #hear no evil# speak no evil#🙊🙉🙈☝) blessing to all families, NEVER GIVE UP🙏 ☝ ,when we fall we pick ourself up like a champion of faith of GOD like a true solider 💯 PUT GOD FIRST amen
I've never had a person tell me that I was capable of achieving my dreams before and I'm in my 20's now. There is really alot of negative people out there haha
I was told I was not college material by my high school guidance teacher. She wanted me to learn a trade. To prove her wrong I applied to various well known schools Went to FSU and then to Auburn University and graduated with a BSN. She attempted to crush my self esteem and I proved her wrong. Never got to tell her I did succeed.
When you get in to the airplane before it take up the first thing they tell you is... Fasten ur sit belt. because you r going to face some tumblers before everything goes right, and that's the same in life. I realized that by listening to you👉 mr speaker so thanks. Thanks alot, and since the day i have meet you (in my❤️) my HERO i had never got a very hard time like one am in now. My mind got stucked but i will get over it. I Don't know how to but i know i can and i will
Whenever I get close to my dreams I back down. but I’m done giving into my fear. I don’t care if I will fail no more. I would rather try and fail then to have never tried at all. I’m done disappointed my family. I wanna prove That I can be successful too. I was bullied beat and told I would never make it growing up. But I won’t let my past define me. I will prove to my stepfather that he was wrong.
That many times I’m sure that we’ve all taken time just to stop and reflect many times when we hear what’s happening in the news or read the newspapers. Where is all of this leading to? What’s going on here? And so I think that now more than ever we must begin to look at what are the things that we can do that would put us on some firm footing in life, that will enable us to do some things and use some powers that we have that many of us go through life, never ever discovering that we have those things going for us. And part of that, I believe, is knowing what it is your life work - what is it that gives your life a sense of meaning and purpose? Because once you find that, it puts you in your power place. See, if you know what your life work is I encourage you to start working on it. If you can’t do it all at one time, do just a little bit of it. And if you don’t know what it is that you showed up to do, if you don’t know why you’re here, I encourage you to find out what your purpose is here, what is the meaning of your life, what will be different? Have you ever asked yourself that question? I’ve done that. I remember coming from a friend of mine’s funeral and I was reflecting on how much time I had left. And I went for a walk in a park thinking about this guy whose life was so promising. And I mean, he wasn’t an old guy, he was quite young, in fact. And I thought about all of the things that he said he was going to do and he never got a chance to do those things.
And I start thinking about my own life and how much time I had left to do the things that I would like to do. And at that time I wasn’t sure what my life purpose was, what my life’s work was. I wasn’t sure about it at that time. And I thought about it quite a lot. I had some idea but I wasn’t convinced that I don’t think I felt worthy. I didn’t believe that it could be me to do this kind of work that I’m doing right now. And I say to you that if you begin to take a conscious effort to find out what it is that you’re supposed to do, I say that it can literally save your life. I said that it can literally save your life. 85% of the American public, according to recent studies, are going to jobs that they hate, working on jobs that do not challenge them. They get sick thinking about going, because see, when you go to a job and you already know how far you can go, you can already see that proverbial glass ceiling. See, when you’re going someplace and you already know how much you’re going to make, you already know how far you can go, you’re in a dead-end position. It erodes your self-esteem. It lowers your sense of yourself. It creates an inner turmoil. It creates an emptiness in you. So I say that your life is worth finding what it is that you’re supposed to do. And I’m not saying quit your job. I’m saying find it and do just a little bit of it. Just start working at it, just a little bit but do find out what your work is and hold on to it and don’t let your dream go. Don’t let it go. See, and here’s something else I want you to begin to look at: why is it that most people don’t pursue their dreams, or don’t do better than what they’re doing if they’re capable of doing it? I think that many of us don’t go the next step, because we don’t know what to do yet.
And I say that, that the reason that we don’t even explore the possibility of what to do is because subconsciously we don’t believe that it can happen for us, and we don’t believe that we deserve it. So here’s what I’m suggesting: how much time do you spend working on you? How much time do you spend every day working on your dream? In the last 90 days, how many books have you read? In the last year, what new skill or knowledge have you acquired? What kind of investment have you made in you? So I’m saying that as you begin to look at where you want to go, if you want to make it today and things are changing so fast, you have to literally run to standstill. I’m saying that you’ve got to make some conscious effort to begin to work to develop you. Here is something else: most people are not living their dreams because of fear, ladies and gentlemen. Fear, limited vision, and lack of self-esteem is what keep most people doing things they don’t want to do. The same reason that people stay in relationships where they’re abused, they’re unhappy, what’s unfulfilling; they can’t see themselves beyond that relationship. They can’t see themselves enjoying life without that person. They think that this is all that they can do. The same reason that people get stuck at a certain level in life. They can’t see things being better for them and they think that this is it and this is all they deserve. This is all they’ve ever seen, has been passed on to them. And they think that this is it for them. Oh, no, looking what Dr. Blanton - Smiley Blanton - who was a colleague of Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, what he said about fear - he said, “Fear is the most subtle and destructive of all human diseases.”
Ladies and gentlemen, fear kills dreams. Fear kills hope. Fear put people in the hospital. Fear can age you. Fear, ladies and gentlemen, can hold you back from doing something that you know within yourself that you’re capable of doing, but it will paralyze you. And it seemed like you’re in a hypnotic spell. And I ask you a question: what is the benefit? What’s the benefit of allowing fear to hold you back? What’s the benefit of giving up on yourself, of not stepping out on life and taking life on? What is the benefit for you? What’s the plus in that? It’s one of the things I had to ask myself. So I didn’t want to make any mistakes. I wanted everybody to like me. I wanted to be perfect the first time I did something. It’s not going to happen. You’re going to make some mistakes. You’re going to hurt some folks’ feelings. You’re going to create some enemies. Whatever you decide that you want to begin to take life on, you’ve got to ask yourself: how long? Am I going to allow this to hold me back? I like what Zig Ziglar says. He said, “Fear is false evidence appearing real.” That is an illusion that we create in our mind. It is a state of mind that can be changed. So let’s look at how we can begin to take some steps to restructure that fear, to begin to expand our visions of ourselves, to begin to increase our self-esteem. Webster said that self-esteem means confidence and satisfaction in one self. Look at your life right now. Whatever you’ve done up to this point in time, your life is working. Whatever you have produced, it came out of you as a result of the kind of person that you have become, as a result of your choices, as a result of your consciousness. Now you have to ask yourself: are you satisfied with what you have produced? Is this what you want? Would you like the things to be better than this? Do you believe that you deserve better than this? Are you content? This is it. You don’t have to do anything else. But you’ve already resigned yourself in life, and say, well I’m happy. I’m not starving like the people in Calcutta. Are you allowing yourself to get off the hook like that? Or do you believe somewhere in the back of your mind or in your heart, that there is some other great work for you to do? There’s something else that life has for you and that’s why you’re here. How do we handle this fear factor? How do we increase our self-esteem? You have to begin to fortify yourself. How do we do that? I believe that you have to begin to consciously monitor your inner conversation and start talking to yourself. Start building yourself up. Sometimes the only good things you will hear about you are the things that you say to you. So I’m saying learn to be your own booster. Stop building yourself up. Start encouraging yourself. Start saying I can do this. I can make this happen. When I started thinking about becoming a speaker, I said yes, I can do this. I can make this happen. When I start trying to convince myself, I can be a businessman after flopping and failing and losing thousands of dollars and feeling stupid and dumb and having people take advantage of me because of what I didn’t know, I had to talk to myself because people say to me that I was done.
And somewhere in the back of my mind I was saying you’re right. Look at what I’ve done. I had to say no no no no no no no Les, hey, hey, come on man, get your self together. You can handle this. You just haven’t figured it out yet. It’s all right, this is your training period. This is the tuition you have to pay for what you don’t know. You can do this. Other people have done it, doesn’t take an Einstein, get you some people that can teach you some stuff that you don’t know, get you some people that have done it successfully and learn from them. Take some seminars, workshops, read some books on how to manage a business. Change the way you see yourself and begin to attend to the personal details. Understand that nobody’s going to take care of your business better than you. And when I start changing that kind of mindset of beating myself up because of my mistakes and start looking at the possibility of my doing better, of my making the adjustment that would enable me to do what I want to do successfully, things begin to change. Now I say stop beating up on yourself. You do do it; I know you do it. I’ve done it. It’s a natural inclination for us to put ourselves down. See, we are born negative I think in a negative consciousness, because we live in a negative world. Here’s some other things ladies and gentlemen. Begin to guard your mind against negative programming, like turn off the television. Don’t watch the news. So you’ve got to guard the kinds of things that you put in your mind. See if you don’t program your mind, your mind will be programmed, because human beings are goal-oriented. That’s why we die of broken hearts early. That’s why we’re running through life too early graves. We’re going through life, ladies and gentlemen, and I think that Henry David Thoreau stated that most men live in quiet desperation. Most of us go through life running scared. So we created this in our minds: false evidence appearing real. We made it real in our minds. That’s why Churchill said there’s nothing to fear but fear itself. That’s the destructive monster. So turn off things that can contribute to your fear. Turn a deaf ear to people that all they can do is talk about how negative things are, because they have bought into the consciousness of the world. Start attending workshops, seminars, listening to tapes on a daily basis to begin to recondition your mind, to retrain your thinking. Faith comes by what? Hearing and hearing and hearing. Listen to things that can empower you, that can enable you to create a new reality for yourself and a new life for yourself. You might appear to be strange around most people. You know most people think you’re strange if you’re happy today. See, these people have not found their purpose in life. That’s why they are grumpy. That’s why they’re miserable. That’s why they’re so negative, they’re hurting and they want to hurt other people. So start practicing using programs for your mind, seminars, books, workshops. Keep a journal. Record your thoughts, what’s happening with you. Every day when you get up, have a journal near you.
See, ladies and gentlemen, we get three to four thoughts a year that if we would act on those thoughts, they could change our lives. What idea are you sitting on? Write your ideas down. And then once you get that idea, take the leap. Take the leap, [indiscernible] the universe. If you don’t take the plunge, I guarantee you somebody else will. Take the plunge. Go into action. And ladies and gentlemen, you will be surprised how things will come together. You’ll be surprised…. Now you’re going to have some difficult challenges. I can tell you that now. Be aware of that. Things are not going to work out exactly right. For time they will, sometimes and that’s when life is just playing the game with you. I want you to feel good and relaxed. But ladies and gentlemen, go into action with your dream. And don’t avoid where the fights are; get in the midst of the fight. Get knocked down, so you can learn how to fight, so you can hold your position. See, most people don’t get out in the arena of life because they don’t want to fight. Most people don’t get out there because they don’t want to get knocked down. They don’t want to be dropped to their knees. But see, you’re going to be dropped whether you’re on the field or whether you’re not just sitting on the sidelines, you’re going to be dropped. So at least get dropped with something. See, that’s how most people are spectators in life. You don’t want to be a spectator. You want to get out in the field where the action is. And you will be amazed after the struggle; there will be a calm period and things will begin to click for you.
We are not "born negative," we absorb negative as we are influenced by negative environments, situations and people. ❤
Beautiful words and voice! ❤
hey
Paula Brown So true
Paula Brown its possible that we could be
Exactly well put, Born into sin and shaped by iniquity.
Thank you Les
May God continue blessing you and your family
Les Brown is one awesome guy, if I could ever meet him in person I'd probably shake his hand and tell him thank you for everything you have done and people my situation from working a job for 10 years and enjoying it then basically giving me treated like a slave, it's starting my own business working full-time being a farrier that I've been part time for the last 15 plus years but doing it full time and being a full-time business owner. Thinking a lot of people in my life such as God and family but one person that I've never met would be Les Brown he has really helped me understand understand business and how you have to jump off the ledge full feet and hit the bottom way down. I have learned that now now that I'm doing businesses and doing account work and all that stuff but unfortunately it's the fun part of just jumping and doing it and not worrying about the risk what could happen as he says you could lose everything or you could do good now which one are you afraid of losing or winning unfortunately after everything that's been happening my life due to losing my hands losing a dear friend of mine and situations in my life I am pretty much the second one I'm cautious jump forward and get it done you can't learn from scratches. So Thank You Les Brown would love to meet you in person
my son Isreal davis died Oct 18 2015 he listens to les brown every day I would like to thank him for changing my sons life

God didn't give us a spirit of fear but peace and a sound mind Praise God!!!
listening to the likes of Les brown and Eric thomas has changed my life around completely. Because of some unfortunate circumstances that happened in mine I managed to sabotage most of my own beliefs and come to the conclusion that a lot of things were not possible for me. It took a while but after time I realised that listening to this stuff everyday and filling my mind with positive thoughts that I could change my way of thinking until positive thoughts became automatic. Now I realise that anything is possible and i will fulfill all of my dreams. I believe anyone can find what they look for in life if they put enough work in
i listen to his voice every single day... this man has a reason behind his life ..... i'm sure i will be there soon.... i'll say to myself "yes its possible"..... ""yes i'm special" .......
greatness is not for chosen few , greatness is for everyone.
❤
Jeremiah 29:11 ALL of us have a purpose. All of us have passions, desires and dreams that are threaded into our "being" to help us live out our purpose. Thank you for the inspiration Les Brown. God bless you. ☺
I was born for God's divine purpose. I am here to glorify his name by what I do with what he has given me.
amen
PERFECT....10*s
Amen. God bless you
Eloquently phrased.
What is God's name?
Now come to think of it, what is God's devine purpose?
Because of changing my thoughts, about my self worth. And doing a self examination, I can now train others to get to where I am ,. I found out that yes I'm a great carpenter, but I'm a better people person. I'm now a construction project sales specialist, and in my first 3 years of doing it, i was #1 in the district out of several, and this year became the first in my region to break the 1 million dollar mark, and am now top 5 for the Fortune 500 company that im blessed to be a part of.
You must grow your mind and your paycheck will follow!!!
In my past, all I cared about was what other people felt or did things always to please others. I never took care of me. I will never ever hurt myself again like that. I will stand up for myself and God help anyone who ever trys to break me or my spirit down... I won't even wait a minute to get them out of my life....
Nice
Fear is not of God!
Yet we all suffer fear, so I thank you for the words of wisdom...
thank you Les Brown your words are so true and have much power behind them ! this is Judith you know me ..... I am lifting you up in prayer as you do your clinical work ! I know you're going to come out better healthier and stronger !!! 🌄🌄🌄🌄🌄💜💜💜💜💜 we all are better because of you can't wait to see you again keep smiling ! AMEN I AGREE
Thank you sir, I haven't listened to you since I got out of prison back in 2002. You gave me strength then and now you do once again. Your wisdom is a lighthouse for all of us, I appreciate you and you make such a difference sir.
Jason DeLozier
why you were in prison?
I'm really trying to mentally work on myself first, fear stops me from doing things-leaves me paranoid but when I listen to les and other motivational speeches, I feel this surge of power. It's true. I've got the key to the car. All I have to do is start driving it. 🔑🚗🏆
"Learn how to fight so you can hold your position" Love that so much.
AMINA A Nice
Reminds me of learning mma
"Go out there with your dream and get in the fight. Get in the mist of the fight!" I'm on it! Thanks Les.

Les Brown........ If know one hasn't told you yet already today... YOU THE F$#%ING MAN!!!! Thank you Les for carving those words into the for front of my thinking! Keep up the preaching it's traveling farther than an wider than you might even think! Today.... It resonated very strongly with me all the way over in Sydney Australia. Thank you... for helping me , be me...!
Les Brown is amazing! Every word out of his mouth is simply amazing, inspirational and always positive!
psalm 23:4 King James Bible Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL: FOR THOU ART WITH ME ; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.psalm 56:4 King James Bible In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I WILL NOT FEAR WHAT THE FLESH CAN DO UNTO ME.This message from Les Brown is so POWERFUL, I have listen to it two days on repeat and shared it with others. This is the water that our buried talents need to grow and multiple.
This was the BEST motivational speech thus far! I'm going to share it with everyone.

😂😭😂
I really needed to hear this! The season I'm walking through is set to destroy me! But through Jesus Christ, I will overcome!
I loved this video... I'm there now, dead end position still even though until 2 months ago, I didn't have a job either so that was my first step. But I'm dead inside, unable to feel anything except fear, grief, loss, and shame, regret, rage and anger,... Compounded with no self-respect, esteem or confidence. But I got me here... Just me. I get stronger every day that I show up for work. My job like my life, is literally cleaning up messes made by others, meaning toilets. I come home to be disrespected. I want to give up but I can't. I'm living proof that the body can survive the splintering of the soul. "I'm fine", is all people want to hear. Thank you for this video. This second, maybe I can try one more time. Thats what matters most, yes? I hope...
Donna Yoder always believe in yourself! You can do anything if you put your mind to it.
Human to human I wish you all the best 🙏🏼
Donna Yoder
Donna Yoder keep you head up. If you do what is easy, your life will be hard! Sometimes it's easy to have that dead feeling inside. You have to dig your heels in and keep going. Iv been in your shoes and still find myself there. I currently struggle with PTSD and anxiety and I can tell you there are days that are difficult. But i have to keep moving toward! So do you!
You have already won the battle, and you don't even know it yet, for It all begins with and idea, a goal, a drive, a seed, and you my dear Donna have been watering that seed inadvertently. Rise!
Donna Yoder try Jesus
Watching these videos are not enough you gotta have faith and DO IT for sake of it. ACTION will change everything IF YOU DECIDE just DECIDE that you want to face fear and willing to fight it no matter how many times you fail and feel miserable. Finally, change and success will come in small scales and step by step and you will eventually get there. It wont happen in one week, one month or year it may takes few years to get the life you want or person you want to be so you gotta be PATIENT and not GIVE UP or GIVE IN. well this was my story of overcoming my social anxiety and become a person i want to be i have faced and fought it and yet to this day I AM STILL FIGHTING IT. I have decided to challenge myself time and time again just like me moving so far away to set up my new life and with all challenges and obstacles are waiting for me i m going to DO IT anyway because i learned to FACE THE FEAR not run from it.
GOOD LUCK TO ANYONE
Cyrus patriot good words, thanks.
"You dont' wanna be a spectator- you wanna get out in the field where the action is" . This is the best speech. Thanks J Mane and Mr Brown
Myles Munroe correction
The most realistic and goal oriented speech ever so far. Hats off to Mr. Les Brown.
Respect!!!
I finally got into medical school after my third try. I remember listening to this video and saying to myself : "I will be a doctor no matter what! I will face my fears head on." Now that I started, I have to push myself and not give up. It is hard but I want to thank Les Brown for making me feel that I can fail two times and still work on my dream.
I messed up in 2017. Lost my way; suffered and never saw hope. I've been tired of myself because this is not me! I will fear no evil and take the risk on any opportunity no matter the fear because I deserve it....I will invest on myself!
This video changed my life a couple of years ago, now I am in the process of changing my career and I have no fears in my life. Thanks Les Brown
You are a great man sir. Yes you are that person who takes from inside the heart to outside world. God bless you
listening to Les Brown's laughter and his wisdom increases my joy and confidence. Thank you sir.
god bless! our creator is not against us. we fight as one with him against daily tenptation. if you are feeling depressed as i and many of us have at times in our life never forget that god is only a prayer away. beleive in the power of prayer and you may be suprised as of what happens. BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRAYER!!
Urrudhwjne Ggssehdhhd , Please kindly use capital letter G when you are referring to God, as He is a great God and a Supreme God ! If u use lower case it means you are dealing or referring to the gods of the earth or darkness! Thank you.
Led Brown is one of the few black speakers, very dynamic, one of our youth somewhere is preparing to carry the torch. God bless you, your peers need you.
I always wanted to travel, and every nody told me that its not convenient because I have kids, married, etc... and I convinced myself that it was ok...
after listening Les Brown in 2017 I trabeled to Germany and France and in 2019 I traveled to Germany and Italy...
He helped me break fears...
I traveled to England too, met great people, etc. one more dream come true...
Listen to tgis plenty of times a more than i can. It helped me. Now my little sister is also going through what we all go through. I passed this to her and now shes listening ti les brown to guide her as he guided me with his motivational speeches.
Listening to this in 2023
Thank you Les
May God continue protecting you and your family
I am trying Les! I know what I need to do and I am taking the proper steps! I will not, and cannot give up!!!!
How can your soul stop crying after such an amazing video!
Fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, but never give up. Greatness is within us.
TRUE.
yessss!!!!! you will make it to the top with that mindset.
We misspell learning as failure.
Bikash Kumar Agarwalla So true.
fall seven times, stand up eight...
Powerful message. It's a life changer for sure. I love how Les Brown not only motivates people but he challenges them to examine themselves. This is exactly what we must be doing every single day.
Yeah even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for God is with me
I so needed this talking to by Les. He's someone who knows, someone who cares.
Step 1: Out go the toxics.
Step 2: Distance from the negatives.
Step 3: Don't broadcast your dream, let it be your secret for now.
Step 4: Set your personal mantra, your favourite quote.
Step 5: Research your dream. Take some free career development courses with like minded people.
Step 6: Deep breath....step forward into your next phase well armed with knowledge and a contingency plan.
Step 7: Nonchalantly reveal to some....you had this dream and it's WORKING OUT!
YAY x
Amen! My purpose has always been children and teaching them about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Wonderful video. God bless and have a wonderful week ❤️
I’ve been in this business I created a lot of opportunities most have failed on me and most are still there but it’s OK because this is teaching me I’m learning from it and that’s what life is about to learn and to grow may God be with all of you ... Amway all the way!!!!
Amen! When the Lord Jesus Christ let me know my purpose was to bring children to Him. Taking a leap of Faith each day keeps me going. Wonderful video of Truth! God bless and have a great day ❤
We are blessed to have this man. He has changed attitudes by presenting truth. He is led by truth.
too real....only get 1....God bless this man and other speakers....changing my life...so thankful
Listening to Me a Brown has taught me many things, but most of all and most important...
Stop negative, toxic self talk!!
I was my own worst enemy and winning the battle of killing myself on a daily basis through self abusing, destructive negative thinking. It's healthy and liberating to love who God made you to be :)
Pick up your chin, look into your eyes and agree with God..
You are fearfully and wonderfully made by God. Amen
This means so much to me because to me it means I will remain faithful to my inner child, the little girl that believes in people and my dreams.. So incredible how a child can be so strong and insightful.
I live in India. He makes me believe in myself. I am listening him everyday. Thank you Mr. Les.
Les is my favorite speaker, Im currently working a junky job in concrete atm but I am aspiring to go to college in the fall to persue my dream, I feel like les abd myself have put my life on the track of growth and positivity
This speech motivated me because it help me accomplish that true happines comes when you look to yourself and examine that material things dont matter but helping people matter and doing what u love and everything will follow.
Thank you Leslie. You’re helping people around the world perhaps without even knowing. I’m going to be successful to give my family a secure and happy life and future. I’ll write to you when I get there
You saved my life
This is the voice, they helped save my life. I think if you can really listen to everything he says, an not just parts you want to hear, I think it can empower you as it did me.
The battle ground is in your mind, learn to think differently. It is not the movement of the clock but the movement in your mind. I encourage everyone to read the word. You will never be the same.
I learned about the power of talks like this not that long ago, but Les Brown talks have had a profound impact in my life; Very thankful he does what he does.
This is a awake call Thanks Les I so needed this I want to be a restate investor's wholesaler and I aways wanted to be in control of my destiny I lost my job so now I have no other choice but to face my fears of being investors but I know. In my heart and soul I can do this I just have to believe
Les makes us realise that we had a dream as a child and somehow we forget our dreams.No matter how old you are you will still remember what your dream was as a child.Even if you don't attain what you wanted to be as a child doesn't make you a failure, as you think back as a child of your dreams it will somehow give you a feeling of being a child again, the dream we all have will never be taken away from us and even if it's a second of time that you think of being a child and wanting to be someone then we will always be a dreamer. Don't be institutional to the city intellectuals that are truely divorced to full blooded force of the common people.They tell us that economics are boring and you don't want to study that, what they don't tell you is economics is what the globe is at the present run on.Study economics you will end up being part of the top individuals in your country and maybe then they will listen to your dream
2020 and I listen to Less Brown daily! I wish he was alive so I could write him and tell him how much he’s helped me.
He's not dead.

I was told I was not college material by my high school guidance teacher. She wanted me to learn a trade. To prove her wrong I applied to various well known schools
Went to FSU and then to Auburn University and graduated with a BSN. She attempted to crush my self esteem and I proved her wrong. Never got to tell her I did succeed.
Man this is powerful...motivation is perishable and needed daily
today I understand my fear... I reconditioned my mind... tq les Brown
2020 And Still HERE!!!!!!! Anyone Else? :P
Les Brown has one of the most amazing stories!
When you get in to the airplane before it take up the first thing they tell you is... Fasten ur sit belt. because you r going to face some tumblers before everything goes right, and that's the same in life. I realized that by listening to you👉 mr speaker so thanks. Thanks alot, and since the day i have meet you (in my❤️) my HERO i had never got a very hard time like one am in now. My mind got stucked but i will get over it. I Don't know how to but i know i can and i will
Today I know that I have Christ in my life cast all of your fears there's nothing GOD can't handle just believe there is a God and he strengthens me
Amen
Don't discredit yourself. You are the one that strengthens yourself when 'god' is absent (always). Push through
We are the "god", universe, the power behind everything to create and look back on itself, like looking in a mirror. Just my opinion/belief. love :)
Barbara Hicks amen 🙏🏾
All Glory be to God...Amen.. different beliefs but we stand strong , we stand on the word of God we know that our power comes from him .
Helps Ease my pain everytime to keep pushing my life to its limits🙏
Whenever I get close to my dreams I back down. but I’m done giving into my fear. I don’t care if I will fail no more. I would rather try and fail then to have never tried at all. I’m done disappointed my family. I wanna prove
That I can be successful too. I was bullied beat and told I would never make it growing up. But I won’t let my past define me.
I will prove to my stepfather that he was wrong.
Never a dull moment with Les,my favorite motivational speaker.
This is a great video for 2019. If you had a rough 2018 this is for you. This is your time to shine.
This is one of my most favorite motivational videos. This made me feel empowered
one million views...if only it had one billion views, we would live in a different world
marcelo vega some music videos have a billion views. Why not this?
Seth Myers sadly I think ppl would rather be entertained than motivated :/
I am what i am because of this recording, One of my alltime favourites
111 people need to listen up and grow.
That many times I’m sure that we’ve all taken time just to stop and reflect many times when we hear what’s happening in the news or read the newspapers. Where is all of this leading to? What’s going on here?
And so I think that now more than ever we must begin to look at what are the things that we can do that would put us on some firm footing in life, that will enable us to do some things and use some powers that we have that many of us go through life, never ever discovering that we have those things going for us.
And part of that, I believe, is knowing what it is your life work - what is it that gives your life a sense of meaning and purpose? Because once you find that, it puts you in your power place.
See, if you know what your life work is I encourage you to start working on it. If you can’t do it all at one time, do just a little bit of it. And if you don’t know what it is that you showed up to do, if you don’t know why you’re here, I encourage you to find out what your purpose is here, what is the meaning of your life, what will be different? Have you ever asked yourself that question? I’ve done that.
I remember coming from a friend of mine’s funeral and I was reflecting on how much time I had left. And I went for a walk in a park thinking about this guy whose life was so promising. And I mean, he wasn’t an old guy, he was quite young, in fact. And I thought about all of the things that he said he was going to do and he never got a chance to do those things.
And I start thinking about my own life and how much time I had left to do the things that I would like to do. And at that time I wasn’t sure what my life purpose was, what my life’s work was. I wasn’t sure about it at that time. And I thought about it quite a lot.
I had some idea but I wasn’t convinced that I don’t think I felt worthy. I didn’t believe that it could be me to do this kind of work that I’m doing right now.
And I say to you that if you begin to take a conscious effort to find out what it is that you’re supposed to do, I say that it can literally save your life. I said that it can literally save your life.
85% of the American public, according to recent studies, are going to jobs that they hate, working on jobs that do not challenge them. They get sick thinking about going, because see, when you go to a job and you already know how far you can go, you can already see that proverbial glass ceiling.
See, when you’re going someplace and you already know how much you’re going to make, you already know how far you can go, you’re in a dead-end position. It erodes your self-esteem. It lowers your sense of yourself. It creates an inner turmoil. It creates an emptiness in you.
So I say that your life is worth finding what it is that you’re supposed to do. And I’m not saying quit your job. I’m saying find it and do just a little bit of it. Just start working at it, just a little bit but do find out what your work is and hold on to it and don’t let your dream go. Don’t let it go.
See, and here’s something else I want you to begin to look at: why is it that most people don’t pursue their dreams, or don’t do better than what they’re doing if they’re capable of doing it? I think that many of us don’t go the next step, because we don’t know what to do yet.
And I say that, that the reason that we don’t even explore the possibility of what to do is because subconsciously we don’t believe that it can happen for us, and we don’t believe that we deserve it.
So here’s what I’m suggesting: how much time do you spend working on you? How much time do you spend every day working on your dream? In the last 90 days, how many books have you read? In the last year, what new skill or knowledge have you acquired? What kind of investment have you made in you?
So I’m saying that as you begin to look at where you want to go, if you want to make it today and things are changing so fast, you have to literally run to standstill. I’m saying that you’ve got to make some conscious effort to begin to work to develop you.
Here is something else: most people are not living their dreams because of fear, ladies and gentlemen. Fear, limited vision, and lack of self-esteem is what keep most people doing things they don’t want to do. The same reason that people stay in relationships where they’re abused, they’re unhappy, what’s unfulfilling; they can’t see themselves beyond that relationship. They can’t see themselves enjoying life without that person. They think that this is all that they can do. The same reason that people get stuck at a certain level in life. They can’t see things being better for them and they think that this is it and this is all they deserve. This is all they’ve ever seen, has been passed on to them.
And they think that this is it for them. Oh, no, looking what Dr. Blanton - Smiley Blanton - who was a colleague of Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, what he said about fear - he said, “Fear is the most subtle and destructive of all human diseases.”
Ladies and gentlemen, fear kills dreams. Fear kills hope. Fear put people in the hospital. Fear can age you. Fear, ladies and gentlemen, can hold you back from doing something that you know within yourself that you’re capable of doing, but it will paralyze you. And it seemed like you’re in a hypnotic spell.
And I ask you a question: what is the benefit? What’s the benefit of allowing fear to hold you back? What’s the benefit of giving up on yourself, of not stepping out on life and taking life on? What is the benefit for you? What’s the plus in that?
It’s one of the things I had to ask myself. So I didn’t want to make any mistakes. I wanted everybody to like me. I wanted to be perfect the first time I did something. It’s not going to happen. You’re going to make some mistakes. You’re going to hurt some folks’ feelings. You’re going to create some enemies. Whatever you decide that you want to begin to take life on, you’ve got to ask yourself: how long? Am I going to allow this to hold me back? I like what Zig Ziglar says. He said, “Fear is false evidence appearing real.” That is an illusion that we create in our mind. It is a state of mind that can be changed.
So let’s look at how we can begin to take some steps to restructure that fear, to begin to expand our visions of ourselves, to begin to increase our self-esteem. Webster said that self-esteem means confidence and satisfaction in one self.
Look at your life right now. Whatever you’ve done up to this point in time, your life is working. Whatever you have produced, it came out of you as a result of the kind of person that you have become, as a result of your choices, as a result of your consciousness.
Now you have to ask yourself: are you satisfied with what you have produced? Is this what you want? Would you like the things to be better than this? Do you believe that you deserve better than this? Are you content? This is it. You don’t have to do anything else. But you’ve already resigned yourself in life, and say, well I’m happy. I’m not starving like the people in Calcutta.
Are you allowing yourself to get off the hook like that? Or do you believe somewhere in the back of your mind or in your heart, that there is some other great work for you to do? There’s something else that life has for you and that’s why you’re here.
How do we handle this fear factor? How do we increase our self-esteem? You have to begin to fortify yourself. How do we do that? I believe that you have to begin to consciously monitor your inner conversation and start talking to yourself. Start building yourself up. Sometimes the only good things you will hear about you are the things that you say to you.
So I’m saying learn to be your own booster. Stop building yourself up. Start encouraging yourself. Start saying I can do this. I can make this happen.
When I started thinking about becoming a speaker, I said yes, I can do this. I can make this happen. When I start trying to convince myself, I can be a businessman after flopping and failing and losing thousands of dollars and feeling stupid and dumb and having people take advantage of me because of what I didn’t know, I had to talk to myself because people say to me that I was done.
And somewhere in the back of my mind I was saying you’re right. Look at what I’ve done. I had to say no no no no no no no Les, hey, hey, come on man, get your self together. You can handle this. You just haven’t figured it out yet. It’s all right, this is your training period. This is the tuition you have to pay for what you don’t know. You can do this. Other people have done it, doesn’t take an Einstein, get you some people that can teach you some stuff that you don’t know, get you some people that have done it successfully and learn from them. Take some seminars, workshops, read some books on how to manage a business. Change the way you see yourself and begin to attend to the personal details. Understand that nobody’s going to take care of your business better than you.
And when I start changing that kind of mindset of beating myself up because of my mistakes and start looking at the possibility of my doing better, of my making the adjustment that would enable me to do what I want to do successfully, things begin to change.
Now I say stop beating up on yourself. You do do it; I know you do it. I’ve done it. It’s a natural inclination for us to put ourselves down. See, we are born negative I think in a negative consciousness, because we live in a negative world.
Here’s some other things ladies and gentlemen. Begin to guard your mind against negative programming, like turn off the television. Don’t watch the news. So you’ve got to guard the kinds of things that you put in your mind. See if you don’t program your mind, your mind will be programmed, because human beings are goal-oriented. That’s why we die of broken hearts early. That’s why we’re running through life too early graves. We’re going through life, ladies and gentlemen, and I think that Henry David Thoreau stated that most men live in quiet desperation. Most of us go through life running scared.
So we created this in our minds: false evidence appearing real. We made it real in our minds. That’s why Churchill said there’s nothing to fear but fear itself. That’s the destructive monster.
So turn off things that can contribute to your fear. Turn a deaf ear to people that all they can do is talk about how negative things are, because they have bought into the consciousness of the world.
Start attending workshops, seminars, listening to tapes on a daily basis to begin to recondition your mind, to retrain your thinking. Faith comes by what? Hearing and hearing and hearing. Listen to things that can empower you, that can enable you to create a new reality for yourself and a new life for yourself.
You might appear to be strange around most people. You know most people think you’re strange if you’re happy today. See, these people have not found their purpose in life. That’s why they are grumpy. That’s why they’re miserable. That’s why they’re so negative, they’re hurting and they want to hurt other people.
So start practicing using programs for your mind, seminars, books, workshops. Keep a journal. Record your thoughts, what’s happening with you. Every day when you get up, have a journal near you.
See, ladies and gentlemen, we get three to four thoughts a year that if we would act on those thoughts, they could change our lives. What idea are you sitting on? Write your ideas down. And then once you get that idea, take the leap. Take the leap, [indiscernible] the universe. If you don’t take the plunge, I guarantee you somebody else will. Take the plunge. Go into action.
And ladies and gentlemen, you will be surprised how things will come together. You’ll be surprised….
Now you’re going to have some difficult challenges. I can tell you that now. Be aware of that. Things are not going to work out exactly right. For time they will, sometimes and that’s when life is just playing the game with you.
I want you to feel good and relaxed. But ladies and gentlemen, go into action with your dream. And don’t avoid where the fights are; get in the midst of the fight. Get knocked down, so you can learn how to fight, so you can hold your position.
See, most people don’t get out in the arena of life because they don’t want to fight. Most people don’t get out there because they don’t want to get knocked down. They don’t want to be dropped to their knees. But see, you’re going to be dropped whether you’re on the field or whether you’re not just sitting on the sidelines, you’re going to be dropped.
So at least get dropped with something. See, that’s how most people are spectators in life. You don’t want to be a spectator. You want to get out in the field where the action is. And you will be amazed after the struggle; there will be a calm period and things will begin to click for you.
les brown is awesome. thank you sir.
Thanks for this video, God bless you.
I fear no evil, i fear no more.
My post below was supposed to say.. Listening to Les Brown.
