I believe I have a copy of the worst recording ever made, ever, in the history of the world. Will Powers – Dancing for Mental Health. $.25 at the local thrift store. I was hoping to be amused, I was not prepared for the stunning weirdness that was pressed into vinyl back in 1983. The closest thing the “real world” I could compare it to is Laurie Anderson, but instead of singing about Sharky she is talking about how she picked herself up by her own boot-straps. The first track “Adventures in Success” consists of the following text being read over a very Tom-Tom Club sounding track.
It's you. Only you.
It's you. Only you.
It's you. Only you.
You are an important person. A rare individual. A unique creature. There has never been anyone just like you and never will be. You have talents and abilities no one else has. In some ways you're superior to any other living person. The power to do anything you can imagine is within you when you discover your real self by practicing a few simple laws of success.
First law of success. Take inventory of your assets. Don't be modest or critical. Be open and objective. Get a pencil and paper. Write down every good thins about yourself you can think of.
It's you. Make it habit. Make it happen. Only you.
It's you. Make it habit. Make it happen. Only you.
It's you. Make it habit. Make it happen. Only you.
Second law of success. Write a description of the person you'd like to be. Describe your personal dress, your home, your automobile, your desired occupation and income. Be honest. Now, go even deeper. Describe the inner person you'd like to be. Let your mind run wild. Assume you can become anything that you desire. The fact is, you will become the person you honestly describe. You can't avoid it.
It's you. Make it habit. Make it happen. Only you.
It's you. Make it habit. Make it happen. Only you.
It's you. Make it habit. Make it happen. Only you.
Third law of success. Concentrate on a mental image of the person you'd like to be. Paint a picture in your imagination of who you want to become. Constantly hold this visual in your mind's eye. See yourself performing and responding like a champion. Feel the confidence and courage that radiate from this type of person.
It's you. Only you.
It's you. Only you.
It's you. Only you.
These three laws are powerful and effective in changing lives. They'll work for you without fail if you're persistent in applying them.
Make it habit. Make it happen. Make it habit.
Make it happen. Make it habit. Make it happen.
Make it habit. Make it happen.
It's you. Make it habit. Make it happen. Only you.
It's you. Make it habit. Make it happen. Only you.
It's you. Make it habit. Make it happen. Only you.
Oh my god, it just gets weirder and weirder, that said it has a nice groove.
