24. 5 ENEMIES OF TODAY
And how you can overcome them

25. “ ▪ “The poorest person in
the world is a person
without a dream.
The most frustrated
person in the world is a
person with a dream
that never became a
reality.”
▪ - Myles Munroe 25

26. LACK OF CLEAR VISION
▪ If you do not have a clear
vision of who you want
to be, how you want to
succeed or what you
want out of life, you
begin to lack drive and
your life becomes just an
order of events.
26

27. “ A vision that is well
defined helps you to
focus and create a
purpose that
becomes your
measurement for
your success.
27

28. fear
▪ Fear is having faith in
the impossible. It’s
dwelling on all that
could go wrong
instead of what will go
right.
28

29. “ Our deepest fear is not that we
are inadequate. Our deepest
fear is that we are poweful
beyond measure. It is our light
not our darkness that most
frightens us. We ask our
selves, ‘who am I to be
brilliant, gorgeous, talented,
fabulous?’ Actually, who are
you not to be? You are a child
of God.
29

30. “ Your playing small does not
serve the world. There is
nothing enlightened about
shrinking so that other people
wont feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as
children do. We were born to
make manifest the glory of
God that is within us. It’s not
just in some of us; it’s in
everyone.
30

31. “ And as we let our light shine
we unconsciously give other
people the permission to do
the same. As we are liberated
from our own fear, our
presence automatically
liberates others.
- Marianne Williamson
31

32. Past failures
& successes
▪ Success is not built
on success. Its built
on failures,
frustration and
sometimes built on
catastrophe.
32

33. Past failures
& successes
▪ Success is not final,
failure is not fatal; it
is the courage to
continue that
counts.
▪ - Winston Churchill

INDEPENDENT AT 30 AS A
BUSINESSMAN AND INVESTOR
▪ 7 TIMES WORLD MR. OLYMPIA &
(23 AWARDS AS A
BODYBUILDER)
▪ 64 AWARDS AS A MOVIE STAR
INCLUDING icon of the decade
▪ 2 TIMES GOVERNOR OF
CALIFORNIA
35

36. PROCRASTINATION
▪ The habit of always
putting off an experience
until you can afford it, or
until the time is right, or
until you know how to do
it is one of the greatest
burglars of joy.
36

37. OPINIONs OF OTHERS
& TRADITION
▪ The opinions of others can
destroy your potential if
you permit them to touch
your dreams and visions.
To maximize your life, you
must declare
independence from the
opinions of others today.
37

38. OPINIONs OF OTHERS
& TRADITION
▪ Tradition becomes our
security, and when the
mind is secure it is in
decay.
▪ No matter how good the
present system is, there’s
always a better way.
