Ralph Walso Emerson

Hello there and welcome to Six Minutes. Do you know, Ralph Waldo Emerson and I are
good friends. Now of course hes been gone for many years and I never did shake
hands with him, but I got to know him. And Im a great student of Emersons. Im
presently going over material that Richard Whelan wrote on Self-Reliance, excerpts
from all of Emersons great work. And Emerson said something that stuck in my mind
and Ive shared it with a lot of people. He said, Do the thing, and youll get the energy
to do the thing. You said, What? Well, think about that. Do the thing, and youll get
the energy to do the thing.

Stop and think of the number of times you just didnt have any energy. You had
something to do but you just didnt feel like doing it. Start. He said, Do the thing, and
youll get the energy to do the thing. Work that around in your mind for a long time. I
love it. And you know something? It works.Do the thing, and youll get the energy to
do the thing. This is Bob Proctor. Thank you.
