Can you actually choose your future? World-renowned motivational speaker Les Brown, creator of the wildly successful audio programs Choosing Your Future and Speaking with Power and Passion, says you can. Becoming successful in your life – that is living your sense of value, meaning, or purpose that allows you to be of service and contribution to the universe – means being willing to do the things today others won't do in order to have the things tomorrow others won't have.Also: Learn to speak with power and passion first by developing your mind, since all human achievement comes from the mind, and second by refining your communication skills, because let's face it when you open your mouth you tell the world who you are.
