TERRI: Have you ever heard someone say, "The audacity!"?
What are they saying? The nerve, the courage, the boldness, the
fearlessness, the grit. Well, I want to teach you today how audacity is exactly what you need to live your dreams.
(Music)
TERRI: Hey, I'm Terri Savelle Foy and you're watching Live
Your Dreams. I pray that as you invest in yourself today, you're
captivated and you're catapulted to live your dreams. You know, I
heard somebody once say that, "Success is like knowing the
combination to a lock." They said, "It doesn't matter if
you're male or female, if you're 16 or 65, if you're from France
or the USA. If you know the combination, the lock has to
open." Well, the problem is, most of us are going through
life without the combination. Well, I like to discover the
combinations by studying successful people, see what I apply in my life that gets results, find it in the Word of
God, and then make it really practical. You know, J. Paul
Getty said, "There's only three keys to success." Now, you might
want to write this down. He said, "Number one, get up early.
Number two, work hard. And number three, find oil." Well,
thank the Lord there's some other keys to success, because
most of us are not going to find some oil. But you know, the
truth is, you can hear a broadcast called Live Your
Dreams and think, "Are you kidding me? I don't even have
any dreams." Or, "I've made too many mistakes, you have no idea
what I've been through. You have no idea how old I am. I've
missed my golden years. I've missed so many opportunities."
But you know, I'm glad that we're bringing this up, because
I want to share with you a few people who achieved amazing
dreams later on in life, even like Joyce Meyer. Did you know
she was 42 years old when she launched her worldwide ministry
in Vinton, Missouri. 42 years old, and she was just launching
the ministry. At 45, Henry Ford introduced the automobile the
Model T. At 52, Ray Kroc started a fast food chain called
MacDonald's, at 52 years old. At 64, Betty Ford opened her first
clinic to treat substance abuse, so at 64 years old she was
saying, "I've still got a dream. There's still something I've got
to accomplish." At 71, Coco Chanel debuted the Chanel suit,
at 71 years old. At 73, Ronald Reagan was reelected as
President of the United States, at 73. And you think you're too
old to achieve your dreams, and he was running our country at 73
years old. At 76, Henry Fonda won his first Oscar. It's never
too late to achieve your dreams. You know, that's why I always
say, "Don't look at all the years you've lost, look at the
years you've got left and start living your dreams." Now, I want
to just share with you real quick why I'm so passionate
about you living your dreams, like why would I even call the
broadcast Live Your Dreams? Well, it wasn't just something I
came up with that I thought was really cute, you know, "Let's
talk about dreams." No, it was an experience that I had with
the Lord that was so real to me it changed my life, changed my
whole destiny, and it actually happened on July 9th of 2003.
Now, I was coming out of one of the worst times I'd ever been
through in my life. I was starting to get restoration in
my life, I was starting to get vision again and get some hope,
but I was still filled with a lot of shame, a lot of guilt, I
was still asking God to forgive me for the same sin over and
over and over. And on July 9th 2003 I was out walking in my
neighborhood, five o'clock in the morning, it's pitch dark
outside, and I love to walk, you know, just for exercise. Well, I
was out there walking and I just cried out to the Lord again,
"Lord, I ask you to forgive me for all the dumb things I've
done." Well, all of a sudden I had this vision, and I have
never had anything like this or since then. But all of a sudden
I saw myself just standing at the foot of the cross, and when
I looked up I saw the feet of Jesus. When I looked at his
feet, the blood from his feet dropped and it landed on the top
of my head. This was just a vision. And I clearly heard the
Lord say, "I'm washing the memories away." It was amazing!
All of a sudden I saw the blood go down my heart and I heard the
Lord say, "I'm the healer of the brokenhearted." Then that blood
went down to my feet and I heard the Lord say this, "The residue
of sin is gone from you." In other words, you know, I could
sing about the blood of Jesus my whole life, which I pretty much
have, but I knew the Lord knew that I had to see for myself how
powerful the blood of Jesus really is. Do you know that God
can give you a supernatural amnesia of the past? He can wash
the memories away. Where you stop reliving it, rehearsing it,
reminding other people what you've done. He can truly wash
those memories away and he can heal every broken place in your
heart. Well, I saw that, but that wasn't all that happened.
All of a sudden I just saw this big hand just reach down from
heaven and it was like the Lord handed me a clipboard, and it
was a cute one, and I heard the Lord say to me, "This is an
assignment on your life." Then he went on to say, "I have an
assignment for your life." Well, then it was like, you know the
old fashioned keys? I saw him hand me some old fashioned
looking keys and he said to me, "These are the keys to the
kingdom of heaven, to help you fulfill your assignment." He
said, "Everything you need to fulfill your assignment can be
found with these keys." I don't know about you, but that changed
my life. It was such a powerful moment, for me to understand
that God truly has a plan for my life. Well, since that day, my
outlook on life has drastically changed. I see you, I see every
person as having a clipboard with your name on it. There's
something God's expecting you to do during your time here on
earth and then it's over. In fact, after that encounter, I
went to a meeting where I heard John Bevere make this statement,
and he said this, he said, "When judgment day comes, and it's
going to come, when every single one of us stand before God and
give an account for our lives." He said, "But when that day
comes and you're standing before God," he said, "he's not going
to hold you accountable for what you did on earth." I was like,
wait I'm so confused, I thought he was. He said, "No, he's going
to hold you accountable for what you were called to do on earth.
And that could be two different things, what you did and what
you were called to do." Well, that really woke me up to
realize, "Man, God really does have an assignment for our
lives. There's something he's really counting on us
accomplishing during our time here on earth." Well, my
favorite Scripture now is John 17:4 from The Message Bible and
this is what it says, "I glorified you on earth by
completing down to the last detail what you assigned me to
do." So, I believe that can become your favorite Scripture,
"Lord, I am determined to fulfill my assignment down to
the last detail." So I want to share with you some of the keys,
just a few of the keys that the Lord has taught me, that will
help you develop that audacity to go after your dreams. Well,
what did Henry Ford, Coco Chanel, Joyce Meyer, Ronald
Reagan, and even me to a degree, have in common? Well, I would
say in one word, audacity, the audacity to believe in our
dreams. You know, you hear that word sometimes in a negative
way, people will say, "The audacity!" Well, you know
audacity actually means nerve, courage, boldness, fearlessness,
grit; it's the willingness to take risk. Well, what do you
have the audacity to dream? Do you have the audacity to believe
that God can heal your body, that he can restore your broken
marriage, or he can deliver your kids from whatever they're going
through right now? Do you have the audacity to believe that you
can still have a baby after three miscarriages? See, God
wants you to have that kind of faith, that people even say,
"You have the audacity to think that can happen?" You say, "Yes,
that's exactly what I have, audacity!" Get the audacity to
be debt free, to live in a nicer house, to see your books in
bookstores. I want you to have that kind of audacity, where it
looks impossible to other people, but you say, "I don't
know how God's going to do it, but I have the audacity to
believe, and thank you for noticing. Well, you know, Jesse
Duplantis, he shared a message years ago, and I don't know the
title of it, but he was talking about a choke hold, how
everybody has a certain choke hold with their faith. I thought
about a dog leash, you know those kind of leashes that let
the dog go so far and then you push the button and it jerks
them back. Well, he said, certain people, everybody pretty
much, has that with their faith. Where you can believe for
certain things, like maybe you could believe to have a $50,000
salary one day, you could wrap your faith around that, and then
someone comes along and says, "Have the audacity to believe
that one day you could make $100,000." And you're like, you
choke, you know, it just puts a little hold on you. You're like,
"I can't believe that big." Well, same with houses. You
know, you could believe to live in a certain neighborhood, but
not that one, not the one that's gated and on the lake or on the
golf course, that's a choke hold. Well, do you know the only
limitations that we have are the ones we put on ourselves? Well,
there were certain areas that I had to change to build my
audacity to do what I'm doing today, and you will too. One of
them is, the audacity to believe in yourself. Do you know that
you have to become your own best cheerleader when it
comes to your dreams, your goals, your faith projects.
You're not going to have other people coming along, cheering
you on, motivating you for the most part. If anything, people
will discourage you, tell you your dreams are crazy, they're
pipe dreams. We have to do like David did. The Bible says David
encouraged himself in the Lord his God. We have shared this
story many times but I love it. I have to share it again. It's
about a guy named Monty Roberts, who grew up very poor. He grew
up on the back of a truck, in fact. His dad was a horse
trainer. He said they would go from town to town, training
horses. He said, "I was barely in the same school district from
one year to the next." He said he's sitting in class one day,
he's just a little boy, and the teacher said, "I want you to
write a paper on what you want to be when you grow up." He
said, "I really thought about it. I put some time into this
paper." He said, "When I grow up, I want to raise thoroughbred
race horses." He said he drew a race track, he drew these little
bunk house and tack rooms. He said, "I'm going to live in a
big house. I'm going to have hundreds of acres of land." He
was so proud of his paper, he turned it in, the teacher graded
it. The next day, she's passing out the papers and this is what
his said. "F, see me after class." He was devastated. He
asked the teacher he said, "Why did I fail the
paper?" She said, "Monty, this is an unrealistic dream for a
kid like you." She said, "You live on the back of a truck."
She said, "You said you're going to own a bunch of land in the
valley. Do you even know what land cost in the valley?" She
said, "Listen. It's my job as a teacher to not let you grow up
and be disappointed." She said, "In fact, I want you to re-write
your paper, turn it in, and I'll give you a better grade." He was
devastated. He said he went home, he shared that with his
dad and he just said, "Dad, what do I do?" His dad said, "Monty,
I can't tell you what to do but whatever you decide, it's going
to affect the rest of your life." Those were some wise
words weren't they? He said he thought about it, he went back
to school the next day, he turned in that very paper and he
told the teacher, "You keep the F, I'm keeping my dream." I love
that, don't you? Do you know today, Monty Roberts has that
very paper framed in his, I don't know, 6,000 square foot
home on 200 acres where he raises thoroughbred race horses
and in one year alone, his income was $6 million. "You keep
the F, I'm keeping my dream." I heard someone say, "The worst
day in heaven would be when God gives you a glimpse of all that
you could have had, all that you could have done and all that you
could have been but for some reason, you didn't
believe in yourself." I'm going to teach you some
more keys, one step in particular that I know will
drastically change your life when we come back. (Music)

TERRI: Hey thank you for joining with me. You know, we're talking
about having audacity, which means the nerve, the courage,
the boldness, the fearlessness to go after whatever it is God's
put in your heart. I want you to build up that type of nerve
where people say to you, "You have the audacity to think that
could happen?", and you say, "Yes, that's exactly what I
have." In fact, years ago when my dad Jerry Savelle, 1969 when
he finally surrendered his heart to the Lord. He said he was
broke, he was in debt up to his eyeballs, his marriage was
falling apart, his business was in debt, he said he felt like
the biggest failure. That was the night he finally cried out
to the Lord, surrendered his heart to Jesus, and he just
said, "Lord, I'm a failure. I'm a nobody. What would you even
want with someone like me?" I'll never forget what the Lord said
back to him. He said, "Don't worry about it, son. I'm a
master in making champions out of nobodies." Don't you love
that? God is the master in making champions out of
nobodies. He's the one that wants you to develop that
audacity like my dad did to believe that God could use a
paint and body man to impact the world. How does it start? Well,
I mentioned earlier, number one, you have to have the audacity to
believe in yourself. You have to believe in yourself. There are
strategic steps that you can take to start believing in
yourself. I know what I had to do because I was the poster
child for insecurity. There are certain things that I've had to
do to start building my confidence, building my
audacity. Number two is having the audacity to grow yourself,
to invest in yourself. How do you start doing this stuff?
It's all affected by what you're consistently filling your mind
with. In fact, do you think about Proverbs 23:7, it actually
says, "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he." Or you could
say it this way, "As a man thinks in his heart, so does he
become." In other words, what you think about, you bring
about. If these scriptures are true, and they are, then you can
have, be or do anything you can wrap your mind around. What do
you want to do? How much debt do you want to pay off? How far do
you want to go in business? How many books do you want to sell?
How much money do you want to save? What can you wrap your
mind around? How do you grow yourself? How do you start
making an investment in your thinking so that you enlarge
your ability to believe for more? In fact, I heard this
story about a guy who's riding a horse really fast and it appears
he's going somewhere really important. A guys on the side of
the street yells, "Where are you going?" The rider says, "I don't
know, ask the horse." That's the way most people live their
lives. Like Darren Hardy says, they're riding the horse of
their habits having no idea where they're going. I'll tell
you what's leading you. It's your daily habits. Your daily
habits are leading you closer to or further from the dreams that
God's put in your heart. In fact, Darren Hardy, he was the
publisher for Success magazine, he said, "I have interviewed the
most successful people in the world." He said, "They all seem
to have one common trait that they share, good habits." I'm
telling you this because I had to start making myself, learn
some new simple habits in order to change my life. Jack
Canfield, he's the author of "Chicken Soup for the Soul". He
said, "I've studied peak performers for 25 years. People
in finance, sports, business, government, things like that,
and he said they all have certain disciplines of success,
certain routine that they practice and every one of them
can be learned." When I begin to hear stuff like that and he
says, "Every one of them can be learned." I thought, "Well, I
need to learn because I got to make some big changes in my
life." Number one, it's really simple. He said they listen to
motivational teaching consistently. I think the
keyword there is "consistently". The Bible even says that faith
comes by hearing. Every time you hear the Word, faith comes. How
do you develop the faith to go after audacious dreams? Listen,
just push play and faith comes. In fact, I read where the most
successful people in the world, they actually use their drive
time to learn, to grow, to invest in themselves. Do you
know that that they actually call it Automobile University.
I'm going to Automobile University, you can go to
college in your car. These are some of the habits of the most
successful people in the world, is they don't just waste that
valuable time driving, they push play. They listen to
motivational faith building teaching that's going to cause
them to grow, to enlarge their thinking. When I begin to learn
this kind of stuff that every successful
person does his, I thought, "Well, if they
do it, I can do this. I got to drive anyway. I
might as well learn something." Instead of dancing all the way
to office, I might as well push play and listen to a faith
building teaching. Well, I started that little habit in
2002. It really wasn't that hard. All it took was my finger
going push play. But here is the key, that was in 2002, and I
haven't' stopped. This morning, I was listening to Joyce Meyer
on my commute to the office. Faith comes by hearing. You know
the thing is, as you start hearing, motivational faith
building messages on a consistent basis, your thinking
begins to grow. You begin to just say, "I'm going to stop
just believing to put gas in my car. I'm going to believe to pay
the car off in Jesus' name." That's just from that simple
habit of investing in yourself every day. We can do this, can't
we? Number one, start the habit of listening to faith building
teaching. Number two is to read great books. I just happen to
have one of my books. But for years, I had no idea that the
most successful people in the world read consistently.
However, those who struggle financially and settle for less
than they deserve, never pickup another book after
high school. Isn't that crazy? Now the
sad thing is I was in that category for 11 years of my
life. For 11 years after I graduated from college, I did
not pick up another book. Consequently I was just existing
year after year with no growth, no change, no dreams, watching
everybody else move on with their lives, pursue their
dreams. Well, these are simple habits that we can start. In
fact you may have heard of W. Clement Stone. He was, you know
I think he was worth $800 million. Well he began to mentor
the young Jack Canfield. Jack was struggling in every area of
his life. He grew up in an abusive home and this wealthy
mentor just kind of began to take him under his wing and
teach him some things. He asked him, he said, "Jack, I have a
question for you. Do you watch television? Jack said yes. He
said, "How many hours a day do you think you watch?" He said,
"Well, I mean I watch Good Morning America. I watch the
news. I watch the Tonight Show. Probably about three hours."
Stone said, "Cut out one hour a day." Jack Canfield said, "Okay
but why?" He said, "If you cut out one hour a day and you
multiply that times 365 days in a year, that gives you 365 hours
to make an investment in yourself. Now divide 365 hours
by a 40 hour work week. That gives you nine and half weeks of
productive time. Just one hour a day." Then he said this, "I want
that time." He said, "Well what do you want me to do?" He said,
"I want you to read. Read books that are going to build your
faith. Read stories. Read marketing. Read management." He
said, "If you do this, you will not only become more valuable to
me, but to yourself." Well like I said, Jack Canfield went on to
write a little book called "Chicken Soup for the Soul."
You know, I've read so many different statistics about
people who watch TV and how many hours a day we spend watching
TV. Do you know the average American watches six hours of
television everyday. That's on the average side, so some people
are watching. Some are less, but six hours of TV everyday. Well
by the time you're 60 years old, that's 15 years of your life
glued to the television or watching other people live their
dreams. Don't turn the TV off yet though. I want to show you
how a simple dose everyday of just listening to the Word on
your way to work, on your way home, while you're doing the
laundry, while you're cleaning the kitchen. Just start that
habit. That's how I started. After 11 years of doing nothing,
I said I'm going to make myself do this. Then I started making
myself read for 20 minutes a day. I read where the most
successful people in the world read 30 minutes everyday. I
couldn't even start with 30. I had to start with 20. Well, I've
never done this before. In fact in this week's offer, we put
together a special offer for you. Sometimes people have asked
me, you know what are the books that you recommend? Where do I
start? Well I didn't have anybody come to my house and lay
out a plan for me on how to start and how to develop good
habits, but I listed the top 10 books in our special offer this
week that I find the most helpful, that have helped me to
develop discipline, to develop good habits, a routine, time
management, saving money. Rodney and I were spending everything
we had. Everything that came in, it went out the door. I had to
learn these things, so I've listed my top 10 books that I
recommend and you might say, "But Terri this is overwhelming.
Where do I even start?" You start with one. You just start
with one. You just start with one simple habit. You start with
one book. You start with one audio and you go from there. In
fact let me just ask you, have you ever been bit by an
elephant? I hope you haven't because it messes up my
illustration. Well, what about a mosquito? Have you ever been bit
by a mosquito? My point is, it's the little things that bite you.
It's the little excuses that we make where we say, "You know
what? This isn't going to change my life. It's just one day. It's
one cd. It's one book." But I'm telling you it matters. In fact
do you know there's a scripture that says, "Your Father who sees
what you do in private, in secret will reward you in the
open." God is watching every investment you make in yourself.
It's never wasted time. You've heard that statement, you don't
have to be great to start but you have to start to be great.
So in this special offer, we've got my teaching on audacity. Now
in this teaching, I talk about seven vital keys that I had to
learn in my life. One of them was having the audacity to
believe in myself and to not wait for other people to cheer
me on and encourage me. In fact, you might have heard this
before, but you can't share big dreams with small minds. Small
minds have a way of sucking the life right out of you and
stealing your dreams. You got to learn to believe in yourself.
When it's all about audacity to pursue impossible dreams. Do you
know if your dreams are possible, you're not dreaming
big enough? I'm going to teach you how to develop that courage,
that boldness to not only dream impossible dreams but step out
of your comfort zone. Do you know everything I'm doing today
is stretching me out of my comfort zone but that's exactly
what God wants you to do? I want you to get this special offer
and like I said, I put together my list of top 10 things, the
top 10 books that I highly recommend for you to get
started. Then I threw this bonus audio in here on asking. This is
one of the most powerful and neglected keys to success is to
ask. Did you know you might be mission out on some things just
because you haven't asked? Doesn't the Bible say, "You have
not because you ask not." You're going to love this teaching.
It's fun. I'm going to teach you how to start asking for things
like benefits, bonuses, discounts, scholarships,
reductions, percentages off. Anyway, it's a fun teaching. Get
this special package this week and I'm believing God. You're
going to develop courage like you've never had
before. You're going to have that audacity to believe
impossible dreams. Don't look at the years you've
lost. Look at the years you've got left.
