Wow, one of those gems you stumble upon in the recesses of KZbin.

[@APerez89]

I found this book in 2010 and it helped me lots. It just hit me that it was probably on KZbin by now 😂. Since pretty much everything is. Stuff we'd NEVER have access to back then. Plus, my demographic would've NEVER heard about this stuff back then. Even now maybe, unless they conned your dumb ass into doing AMWAY or HERBALIFE or any of that MLM crap. I use ALL this but for my personal ambitions goals and keeping straight in general.

Please share names of other gems too

9 months ago this video helped get my mindset in a better direction. The stress I was experiencing was severely overwhelming. I was driving for Uber and that morning I had to drive till the early hours of AM just to have enough money to pay for parking and food the next day. I didn’t have a choice. And I was so exhausted. Tonight, 11:39PM 5/21/24 I’m back to be greatful for this video. Here is to another full listen. I’m healthier now. I eat better now. I sleep better, ended the night shift schedule.

I remember this guy from the 80's. Just as good now and he is 89yrs. Denis Waitley, you have inspired millions, with your wonderful words of encouragement. To go the extra mile, become the person you were meant to be AND do it with a 😃 smile.

Thank you for uploading this for us to learn! I speak on my KZbin channel about a lot of these same ideas. We can never have enough of this timeless wisdom in the world.

An absolute legend👍

[@chriswilliams5498]

first came across Dennis back in the 90s, forgot how power his words are. Making basic notes of what he says. Put them somewhere you regularly see them. And use it as a guideline for life.

[@KootBear]

this guy is awesome! I highly recommend his book The Psychology of Winning!

[@articledon4880]

I was just listening to the Jerry Gilles book "MoneyLove" on YT & he mentioned Dennis. So good to see this content was transferred from VHS videotape. I remember when Sony Betamax came into effect. We rented video tapes every weekend. Never thought a day would come when we would be streaming everything mostly for free. Not bad.

Thanks foggy

[@masterprophet8378]

The bulk of America's non-handicapped homeless need to listen to this 10 times per day. It will breathe the spirit of a winner in them, spurring them on to a life of self-reliance. Facts!

Here's what i said to Hitler:" Adolf, I'm old, but if you intend to win this war, heed to my advice: when you're winning, you're not as losing as when you are not winning. And when you're not winning you're not as winning as when you're losing. Therefore, if you intend to win, you mustn't lose!!!" He kept on winning only as long as he was adhering to that advice!
