Everyone should be in therapy. It’s good for the body, mind, and soul. It helps unpack baggage and enables us to deconstruct the mysteries that vex us in life. In The Three Therapies of Life, Charlie “Tremendous” Jones shares practical and applicable ways to heal yourself so you can continue to impact others and change lives. I uncovered this material from a DVD I found. It was recorded back in the ’90s when my father was in his heyday (which was technically every day). In this message, he spoke to an audience of fellow speakers and presenters at the National Speakers Association (NSA). His words rang truer to my ears and heart than they ever had before. I guess I needed some “Tremendous” therapy….

Quotes from The Three Therapies by Charlie “Tremendous” Jones:

One of the greatest lessons you’ll learn in dealing with people is to go to the ear with the point, and then go to the heart with an illustration. This will help them see with their heart what they heard with their ear.

If you’re going to tell people something to their face and it involves their feelings, you better go to

their heart and help them see. I love to see where I’m wrong. You love to see where you’re wrong. But isn’t it horrible to have to hear you’re wrong?

If you’re going to have a great life while you do a great job, you need to learn how to laugh at your failures. Laughing at your failures doesn’t mean you like to fail. It means if you’re not learning how to laugh and build on your heartaches, you’ll never do much.

You see, if you’re going to be serious, you’d better learn how to make things lighter because they’re carrying a heavy enough load already without you burdening them more.

The first mark of greatness is thankfulness. The first sign of smallness is thanklessness.

If we don’t start learning to be happy when we’ve got nothing, we will never be thankful and happy when we have everything.

More is said from a thankful heart than will ever be said with any mind—no matter how brilliant you are.

I guess I’m the luckiest person ever born. You know why? When you were born in the ’20s and raised in the early ’30s, you know what you learned? You learned you didn’t have anything but people.

There are some things, my dear friend, you don’t get out of by talking to anybody. You’ve got to love through it and sometimes, it never goes away. Other people have to know this and you need to help them know it.

A tremendous life is built on tremendous decisions. These life decisions have an integrative effect; the choices we make open or close the doors to other opportunities and future possibilities. So we need to make these cornerstone decisions well to build as solid a foundation as possible. We need to make these critical decisions the right way. My father said, “Decision making is a fact of life, just like breathing. That’s what decision making really is.” The key to making the right decisions in life is to make a decision, make it yours, and die by it. Getting these decisions right doesn't necessarily make life more manageable, but it does make it more real, and that's what it's all about.

Quotes from The Three Decisions by Charlie “Tremendous” Jones:

The secret to a happy marriage is integrity; integrity to make a decision; make it your decision; and live and die by it.

I believe a job is just like a marriage. I believe if you aren’t learning to love and honor and cherish the job that God gave you, you will not be the complete person God meant you to be.

The secret to vocational success is making a decision, making it yours, and living and dying

by it. Make a commitment. That’s it.

You can’t try out a girl and make a marriage and you can’t try out a company and make a career. You commit your life to a girl and you begin to be her husband, and you start learning to be

a husband, and you commit your life to a company and you become an employee and start learning to be an employee.

If what you’re going to get supersedes what you’re going to give, you’re in the wrong ballpark. You may as well not work at all and suck your thumb and be a hippie.

God never made a job to make a man, He made men to make a job.

I’ve always known how easy it is to argue with people and win them over, but I found there’s something you can’t do: you can’t argue with the Bible. It is what it is, take it or leave it.

All my life I’d been told what the Bible said, but now that I’d read some of it I found it said about the opposite of what everyone told me it said. And then I realized that all my life I had judged God by the shenanigans and inconsistency of people. I’ve always known you can’t judge somebody by somebody else, but I didn’t apply that standard to God.

Well, on that day, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, thank God, by His grace, I realized the Bible was true for me. I didn’t realize it was true for you, I didn’t realize it was true for my wife or kids, that’s their need, that’s their problem; for me I realized the Bible was true.
