However, he has never allowed the trials to get the better of him. He has allowed them to fuel him as he became one of the world\u2019s most renowned motivational speakers. Today he is here to share with us that,&#8217; If You Can Look Up, You Can Get Up.&#8217;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:&nbsp;<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hear about Les Brown&#8217;s journey to success and the things that have kept him motivated over the years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discover the comeback power that lives within you.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn how to stand out in all that you do.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Episode Highlights<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>How do I handle adversity?&nbsp;<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Les explains that life is full of disruptions and surprises; recent personal experiences reminded him of how true that is.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Les references Ephesians 6 verses 11-18 to remind us that we will face difficulty but having the Armor of God coupled with characteristics such as courage and resilience will help you overcome these inevitable circumstances.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>How do I activate my comeback power?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Les says to activate your comeback power you have to get to the point of saying enough is enough and realize that you have to fight for what you want in life.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s key to realize that in life, there will always be a fight to get what we want but, it is not personal, it&#8217;s just the way it is.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People who give up in life don&#8217;t recognize their strength. Les says that sometimes people give up on their dreams because of the mindset that makes them feel that these goals are impossible.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He encourages us to recognize that we cannot be wimps when it comes to achieving our goals. We have to move from being worriers to warriors.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>How do I keep going?&nbsp;<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Les shares that even though he faces a personal battle daily, ultimately, the way a person lives is based on what they choose to believe about themself.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He says people must be willing to work on themselves and envision what they see for their future and not buy into societal norms for attention.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He also shared that the attention economy that we live in makes it hard to be noticed or be noticeable. However, as an individual, you have to find a way to stand out. He reminds us that we have to persevere because it&#8217;s in our DNA to win.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Les Shares His Health Story&nbsp;<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Les <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shared that he has been living with stage 4 <a href=\"https:\/\/henekawatkisporter.com\/022-how-one-cancer-survivor-model-became-a-successful-caribbean-magazine-publisher-with-neysha-soodeen\/\">Cancer<\/a> for 29 years and how his faith-based approach to his diagnosis has changed his life.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Les also shared that both fear and faith are a choice however, a faith-driven life requires discipline to push past fear.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>How do I stand out?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Les shares that many people are not trying to stand out in life but are merely trying to survive. He says that only a few are willing to sacrifice and fight to get to where they want.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Les states that the people who have been most influential on his journey to stand out are his biological mother, adopted mother, Mike Williams, and the literary works of Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King Jr, and Malcolm X.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He says these people helped him appreciate the value of words and have set the foundation for his career as he now teaches people how to do the same to take people through a transformational process with words.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Les also shares what he has been doing in terms of succession planning for his business and its value-added properties.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He also shares the importance of laughter and happiness.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Les states that we live in a time where information to reinvent ourselves is easily accessible.
