34 Who Do You Think You Are?
Now some of us are seminar junkies and go to seminar after semi-
nar after seminar after seminar, and I’m here to tell you that some of you
should stop going to seminars. You should start doing the seminar. What
I mean by that is people need to start putting into practice what they
already know. Most of us know what to do to have more love. Most of us
know what to do to have the money. Most of us know what to do to have
better physical bodies. The question is why don’t people do it?
Again, find a mentor and do what they say. It’s not a matter of
gathering more information. There are some people who have gone to so
many seminars that they can finish the sentence of the speaker on stage
because they know the material that well. My mentor told me that you
know nothing until you make a permanent change in your behavior. It’s
behavior, not gathering more information, it’s doing what you’re mentor
says. So you’ve got to study and learn and get close to them. You’ve got
to invest; be near them and let them influence you. That’s what I’ve
found is the easiest and fastest way to grow in any area of your life. Find
a person who lives the life you want and do what they say. Follow their
advice.
I was in Vancouver yesterday with my first mentor, Norman
Sharkey, who really taught me about love and about God. And just watch-
ing him interact with people caused me to be more loving. Proximity is
good. Read their books, do what they say, go to their events, learn from
them - not to simply gather information, but to implement what they say
into your life.
