The METHOD to Activate the LAW of ATTRACTION - Bob Proctor Explains How to MANIFEST ANYTHING!

want to be happy build a life not just a business hey it's evan carmichael and this channel was created to help you overcome the number one challenge that is holding you back a lack of belief in yourself you watch these videos because you know there's something more inside you too you've got michael jordan level genius at something so today let's live your best believe life and get some incredible motivation from the one and only bob proctor enjoy i want you to think of this for a moment let's suppose there was a virus going around and this virus caused people to really stunt their growth ruin their income and cause them to mix with people who are on the wrong track and it was a virus and there didn't seem to be any prescription to solve the problem we would be in panic state we would be looking everywhere for some kind of a prescription to fix and kill this virus well do you know that's what a paradigm is a paradigm is a program that is lodged in your subconscious mind in your innate mind it has been placed there genetically from the moment of conception all mom's dna and all dad's dna is your dna and then there's an attractive force set up and when you are born then your environment becomes part of the paradigm why do you think so many people are struggling why do you think only three or four percent live a truly full wealthy meaningful life is because everybody is caught up in the paradigm when i started to study this when i started to understand it it just about blew my mind and then when i found out i could change it i could take a pen and write my own paradigm and live the way i really wanted to live i almost found it hard to believe you know the law of success is a pretty interesting concept there's been books written on it stories told on it lives have been spent looking for it let's understand that everything operates by law the whole universe operates by law the best definition of success i have ever heard was one that earl nightingale originated way back 1959 he said success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal well let's break that down for a moment success is the progressive continually moving progressive realization constant awareness of a worthy ideal an ideal is an idea that you have fallen in love with an ideal is an idea that you're intellectually emotionally and physically involved with an ideal is an idea that you fall in love with success is the progressive realization of the worthy ideal so you don't ask are you worthy of the idea are you worthy of the good is it worthy of you now now you're getting in to law of success is it worthy of you you see what you're going to do is trade your life you're trading your life for whatever it is you're going after so you want to make up your mind whatever your goal happens to be whatever you are pursuing make certain it's worthy of you because you're trading your life for it the law of success calls for you to continually moving toward a predetermined objective in life and bringing your life in harmony with the laws that cover the entire universe think of this for a moment do you know that every living soul gets exactly the same amount of time exactly the same amount of time figure it out you get all there is a hobo sleeping under a bridge or on a park bench that has no material possessions nan does nothing of any constructive nature that person gets exactly the same amount of time as the most productive industrialist in the world we all get exactly the same amount of time so it's what we do with the time that makes a difference i want you to think of the number of time management programs almost everyone under the sun has time management programs in fact i made one one time spent a lot of money on it and then i found out it was a dumb waste of time and money do you know why time can't be managed i was having breakfast with earl nightingale one morning and it was downtown chicago and i was going with him on a speaking engagement and it was early in the morning he said you want to meet for breakfast whenever el nino said you want to meet me i was there and i always had some well-prepared questions and i remember asking him i said uh how did you learn how to master time management you know we're having breakfast i can still hear his fork hit the plate he's what the hell you're talking about he's i've never mastered time management nobody masters time management he said time can't be managed he's i merely manage activity and he took a little card out of his pocket and he said every night before i go to bed i write down six most important things i have to do tomorrow these are goal achieving activities and when i wake up that's what i start working on and if i don't get them all done i'll add them to tomorrow's list you should have about six now if i have three that i didn't get done today that doesn't mean i have nine for tomorrow like six plus these three those three become part of the six you have to do the next day when you wake up you give all your conscious attention to do those things see you cannot manage time but you can manage activity you can manage your activities make certain that what you're doing really makes a difference make certain that you're spending your time on activities that are productive that are taking you in the direction of your goal i uh met a man here in toronto he was one that originally got me involved in studying this ray stanford and he told me if i didn't like the results i was getting in my life that i was going to have to change me because there were my results and he said if you're going to change you you're going to have to find out something about yourself and that seemed to make sense i don't think it was an earth-shattering idea it wouldn't give anybody a brain hernia but it made a hell of a lot of sense to me so i started to study myself i found most people don't know who they are they really don't what do you mean i mean i know my name i know my age i know where yeah that's not what else is there you know that that size if you ask the average person who they are they'll give you their name they'll say i'm bob proctor but i'm not bob and proctor are two words my parents give them to me they're called names but it's not me it's my name then somebody will say well this is me but this isn't me either it's my body like you never phone down here to the to the studio and say body won't be in today it's sick okay you know we don't say am hand ram leg it's my hand my leg my body my name who am i well that's an interesting question and i believe if a person will start to study that and look for the answer they'll find it see i think we live simultaneously on three planes of understanding we're spiritual creatures we have an intellect and we live in physical bodies okay but because we lack awareness or understanding of who we are we're totally locked into a physical world and we let things outside of us control us ninety-five percent of the population are reacting to life they're not really living at all i don't think you determine what your purpose is i think you discover what your purpose is there's a difference determining indicates deciding um [Music] and i don't think you decide i think if you go about it the right way you discover it like there's some people that should be painting all day they're great artists i think michelangelo was obviously a great artist great sculptor i mean that was his purpose in his life well i believe my purpose is doing what i'm doing your purpose is why you get out of bed in the morning do you know why you get up well most people say well it's to go to work well that'd be a good reason to stay in bed you know you say well everybody's doing it that'd be another reason to stay in bed if you're ever doing what everybody's doing you're probably going in the wrong direction your purpose is your reason for living what you want to do is sit down and maybe take a pen and a pad and then ask yourself what do i really love doing now you may have to spend a while at this you might get up an hour early every morning and go sit under a tree somewhere if you're in a nice climate or pick a favorite chair someplace where you're not going to be disturbed and totally relax and say if i could spend my life doing something what do i really love doing now since you don't ask yourself that question every day it might take a while for this answer to come to the surface but it comes to your consciousness and it may take a while you may have to do this every morning for three months but it would be well invested the time how many times have you had somebody say to you have you got a minute but you got a minute they don't want a minute i want you to think about that i read a poem one time i said i have only just a minute only 60 seconds in it it was forced upon me i can't refuse it i didn't seek it and i didn't choose it but it's up to me to use it i must suffer if i lose it give a count if i abuse it it's only a tiny little minute but eternity is in it well anyway i thought i'm going to put this on a video and i'm just going to share with everybody just this one little part of the seminar i'm making i want you to look at this sand timer and let this i want you to think about your life the sand in the top of the glass represents the future the sand in the bottom of the glass represents the past now do you know we know what's in the past and yet we can't do anything about it do you know what the trick is you don't know how much sands in the top of the glass you may think you have a lot you might only have a little then again you may think you have a little and you might have a lot when i was a little boy i was raised by my grandmother and i don't know when i was little gaffer she was probably 60 but as long as i could remember grandma would say and i'll soon be glad dear i'll soon be gone well you know we loved her she was really an angel of god but we thought she was never going to go she lived to be 94 for 30 some years i'll soon be gone she didn't think she had much time left she had 34 years left now about the same time i had a buddy of mine bob yates he was just 16. and bang he run into the abutment of a bridge and his life was snuffed out if you had asked him a half hour before how much sandy had left he would have said at least a half a century he didn't have a half an hour see the trick is we don't know how much sand we have left the future we don't know the past it's gone now the only thing you can deal with is what's right here right now and if you look the sand is always moving now think of this you see i was working on that and then i was working on a graph i've got here on my computer and i'm thinking of the time somebody said have you got a minute well they don't really want a minute do you know if you're earning 50 000 a year in minutes 42 cents a half hour is 12.50 if we take that ahead of it if you're earning 80 000 a year a minute 67 cents half hour's 20 dollars if you're earning a hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year got a minute it cost you a dollar 25 a minute a half 37.50 so if you see if somebody said you and hour's want to stop for a cup of coffee well if you're earning a quarter of a million dollars a year a minute is two dollars and eight cents half hour is 62.50 and then of course you've got the coffee to pay for on top of that so you see the point is this this is all we've got right here right now we don't know how much we have left in the future but we do know what we've got now and i have found the people that win are the people who make up their mind they're not going to waste the minutes they're going to be productive they're going to make it happen every minute he said that success was the progressive realization of a worthy ideal anyone that has a goal and they're moving towards it they're successful most people think that you're successful if you have a lot of money quite often you have a lot of money if you're successful but it isn't i wouldn't say mother teresa has a lot of money okay but she's a pretty successful lady so it's um okay so that barrier to these well there's a couple of them okay i think there's two barriers one is our conditioning the conditioning that takes place in our subconscious mind from the time we're infants all we can do is act and talk like the people around us that's why we learn the language we learned if there was 10 languages spoken in our home we'd learn 10 languages without any trouble there's usually one and that's the only one we ever learn and we grow older and we think well i couldn't learn another language we could learn 100 if we wanted to you can do anything but i think we're conditioned we have a real strong conditioning usually with not some very good ideas and then that that's the the barrier that's inside is the one that's outside of us says our environment we have a tendency to act like everybody around us and if you think about this it doesn't make a lot of sense because if you study statistics 95 percent of the people live their entire life and never live the way they want to live you know that 95 percent of the population in this country let's say in north america okay the richest continent in the history of the world they'll work productively let's say for 40 of their 65 years okay and they'll end up with hardly any money well there's got to be something wrong so there's no five percent of the people end up financially comfortable or independent are you trying to depress this bob because that's uh no actually i think it's i think it's quite an exciting idea because you see the idea behind it is that anybody can win anyone at all but if we start studying these statistics i think we'll arrive at the conclusion geez i better start thinking for myself rather than follow everybody most people they get a job they look around they see how everybody else is doing their work and they start doing it the same way they should stop and think i wonder if any of these people know what they're doing is there a better way to do it but don't we have a need to fit in i mean we don't want it we don't want to stand out we don't want to get fired we don't make waves exactly exactly just fall into line you know take a number be like everybody around now that'd be great in the animal kingdom but human beings aren't supposed to live that way i think we should make a few waves we should maybe stand out be different not not for the sake of being different okay but because we are different we all think different thoughts and i believe we should start to think and build images in our mind of what we'd like to do and then set out and do it okay emerson did that edison did that marconi did that and samuel morse did that buck minister fuller did that we could go on and on and on okay they were different they stood out they made a few waves select a person who is already doing something that you'd like to do get to know that person go to the experts for advice don't ask the person next door your mother father brother the guy that works beside you because they don't necessarily know there's no point in asking a person to earn a lot of money if they're only earning ten thousand a year they don't know they knew they'd probably be earning a lot it's like don't go to a sick doctor if you want to get healthy okay so you find someone that you can go to for advice get a real good book and lock into that book and start to study it like i've had this one looks like a bible you know but this is napoleon hill's book think and grow rich i've been reading this thing now for 23 years i'll probably read it for another 23 years i get another good book that i brought over here today it's called the power of your subconscious mind i'm not getting the commission for selling this the author's dead now he's been gone for a couple of years but dr joseph murphy wrote this book the power of your subconscious mind and that's probably one of the best books that you're ever going to find because you're going to learn something about your mind when you read this book okay now i read a lot of books i've got probably a thousand bucks sitting in my den at home in my library but the one that i care i carry it everywhere i go and i read it all the time this thing can grow rich i never stop reading it where's the value for you to re-read that and read it i mean you must you must know it well enough that uh i think i could probably recite it verbatim but the secret is i once read in the book where it said when you read a good book through the second time you don't see something in it that you didn't see before you see something in yourself that wasn't there before you see when i read this i created a greater awareness do you know that the law of attraction is always working it's like the law of gravity if i let this go it's going to go down it's never going to go back up it's going to go down that is the law of gravity anything heavier than earth is attracted towards the center of the world well the law of attraction is always working now how does it work well i use a diagram to explain the mind now let this circle represent your mind and let this little circle here represent your body now i want you to think of this for a moment your body is a molecular structure this is a massive energy and a very high speed of vibration if you looked at your body through a microscope you'd see that energy dancing right before your eyes and here's something that'll keep you thinking for the next 20 years when you move out of it the body does not stop moving if you go to a funeral parlor and pick up the remains and look at it you will see it moving and if it wasn't moving how would it ever change the dust you move into your body and you will move up and it's how you use your mind that's going to dictate the vibration you're in now stay with me you have an imaginary line right across here and that separates the conscious mind from the subconscious mind now the subconscious mind has been programmed when you were a little baby this is the way it was go just like this subconscious mind wide open and everything that was going on around it went right in there and all the energy that went in there when you were just a little baby form something called a paradigm now a paradigm is information it's a multitude of habits you are the product of your environment but prior to that you are the product of a genetic strain that goes back for generations now i'm going to say that the paradigm is x type energy now you've got the ability here on a conscious level to think and you can think anything you want to think and as you think you build ideas there's a power that's flowing into your consciousness it never stops it flows to and through you you can actually photograph this power leaving you it flows to and through you now as it flows in you will start thinking and you'll probably think x type thoughts therefore you're going to be in an x type vibration and that will produce x type results now it's the results you want to change and to change the results you're going to have to change what you attract you see the thoughts that you think control the vibration that you're in vibration is nothing but an idea it's a law of the universe everything vibrates nothing rests we live in a notion of motion and it's the thoughts that you're thinking that you impress upon your subconscious mind that control the vibration the body's in and that dictates how you act but it also dictates what you attract you attract energy that's in harmony with you you attract people that are in harmony with you you see everything operates on frequencies there's an infinite number of frequencies but you and i operate on a frequency just like a radio station does and the only music you can attract is the music that is tuned in to the vibration you're in now it's the paradigm that has been controlling the vibration you can change your thinking but that doesn't do anything you've got to change the paradigm and if you don't change the paradigm nothing happens now talking about paradigms is another subject we'll do that at another time but it's the thoughts that you think that control the vibration you're in and that dictates what you attract so if you keep attracting what you don't want understand this it's the paradigm that's causing the problem you can think a y type thought which is totally different than the x type conditioning it isn't going to go anywhere because when you go to get emotionally involved and this is the emotional mind when you go to get emotionally involved with that white type thon the paradigm will kick it out you know why it's so uncomfortable that's stepping out of the box that's doing things different and we don't like to do things different because it causes a lot of discomfort but understand this the paradigm and the thinking control the vibration you're in and the vibration is going to dictate what you attract people that are in a poverty consciousness will continue to attract lack and limitation it has nothing to do with this what's going on here this is your educated mind and you could gather all kinds of information have you ever wondered why some people have such an educated mind they have degrees coming right off the end of their business card but it doesn't show up in their results why paradigm the law of attraction you've got to change this you've got to change the vibration you're in and your whole world changes listen in 1961 a man gave me this book and he said do exactly what i tell you he was giving me y-type ideas it caused an enormous amount of discomfort but i did exactly what he said and you know something my income went from four thousand to 175 000 in a year and then i took it over a million it took me nine and a half years to figure out what happened this is what i'm showing you watch this over and over and over again there's a number of lessons in here and another lesson i'm going to show you how to change the paradigm when you change the paradigm the change in results is automatic you know why you start to attract something new something different and what we want to do is program in positive information and eliminate the negative i'm going to show you how to do that law of attraction you attract according to the vibration you're in this thing we live in is a molecular structure your body is a massive energy you know if you put your body in front of an infrared television camera in a completely dark room your whole being would be nothing but a glistening radiating gleaming form feeling is conscious awareness of the vibration we're in when we don't feel good we're in a negative vibration you want to feel good move into a positive vibration stop and think of what you're grateful for but understand this you will never attract to you wealth happiness health until you get the paradigm and get you on that frequency spot proctor and thank you see people don't resist change people resist being changed yes we've got to change ourself we've got to build a new image a picture in our mind we've got to see ourself the way we want to be and then we have to live with it that's you go to the gym workout that's what you do you build a picture how you want to see this arm this arm and you build that picture and then you build the body well you build the life in your mind take your pen and write out how you want to live and always start by writing i'm so happy and grateful now that and the second you write it you've got it intellectually the moment you impress it upon your emotional mind you've got it emotionally and it's only a period of time till it manifests on the physical plane spirit works from a higher to a lower potential habits good habits will give you results that stick bad habits will destroy everything i have some bad habits that's right all my habits are not great so if you've got some bad habits don't feel bad so does your next door neighbor so does your mentor your coach so does your mother and father if they're alive so does everyone and the trick of life is to replace a bad habit with a good habit i used to hang around bars all the time and one day i went in i picked up a glass and i looked around and i thought they're all bums in here and then it dawned on me i'm always here i learned something i put the glass down i said i'm never coming back here again and i'm never going to drink this and i never did that was a long time ago but you know what i did i went from spending all my money in the bar to race track and i started to bet it all on horses so i went from making somebody with a bar get wealthy and then i started to feed the horses and one day i woke up and i learned something if you don't consciously and deliberately replace a bad habit with a good habit you will automatically create another bad habit now what is a habit a habit is an idea that has been planted in the garden of your subconscious mind and then repetitively fed for a sufficient period of time that you act on it without giving any thought to it i'll give you an example i want you to right now mentally imagine you're pulling on your underwear in the morning what foot do you put in first i put my right foot in if i tried to put my left foot in my underwear first i'd stagger and i'd fall over you may say what's this got to do with it it's got everything to do with it why do i put my right foot you may put your left certainly a lot of people do well when i was just a little gaffer didn't have a clue of how to put underwear on my mother or my grandmother or my father or somebody came along and they had the underwear red put your foot in here you rather [ __ ] what did they do they had the underwear prepared as if they were going to put it on and so pretty soon i was doing it like they were doing it they through repetition planted the idea in my hand in my mind well now think of this you don't just form habits of how to get dressed you form habits to do everything that you do and some of them are not that productive any idea that you keep dwelling on and impressing upon your subconscious mind becomes fixed in the subconscious mind a habit is nothing but an idea that's fixed in the subconscious mind that you act on without giving any conscious thought many years ago i went in to train the prudential insurance company of america their agents i ended up training all of their agents and i only got them to do two things this is in the early 70s i got them to form the habit of being in front of a prospect before 9 00 a.m and ask everybody they talked to to purchase a hundred thousand dollars worth of insurance i said you don't have to sell them just give them the opportunity to say no you know the sales in that company went up by hundreds of millions of dollars i had a revive a retired vp tell me he thought it was a billion just changing two habits what habit you want to change i'm forever checking out habits i've got i'm in the habit right now of changing my diet and you know something i've been doing it for going on three weeks it's getting easier but it's still not that easy i still like to reach over and eat some of that when nobody's looking doesn't work doesn't work i'm looking what habit are you going to form and you shouldn't try and form more than two at once it'll become too big and too heavy and you won't form any make up your mind you're going to do it every day every day every day until you don't have to think about it and then you'll automatically do it i guarantee you this idea will change your life think about it all day because that is definitely an idea that will give you results that will stick i'm going to share some information with you that it could change the direction of your life like night and day and when i say that i want you to really stop and take a look at your life take an honest look at your life i i was thinking just before i start to make this we have actually been conditioned to kid with ourselves to lie to ourselves to um not really take an honest look at the results we're getting i want you to take a real honest look at your results and when you look at them ask yourself am i living the way i really want to live you see most people aren't one of the first questions i ask a person that comes to work with me i want to know what's the most they've ever earned in a year now i really don't care what the answer is but i want to know what the answer is because you see um if a person says the most i've ever earned in a year is 50 000 i know where their mind is programmed um if they tell me the most they've ever earned is 250 000 i know where they're programmed and then i want to find out what they want and i know then what has to shift because their mind is programmed and if they're really going to live the way they want to live they they've got to change the program and if they don't change the program then nothing really happens talk about people paying themselves they pay everything under the sun but they don't pay themselves think of when you're on a plane and the oxygen mask may drop down there's a problem with oxygen in the plane they will tell you if you have a child with you put your own on first because you can't look after the kids if you haven't got your self looked after well that's exactly the same with money look after yourself first if you don't pay yourself you're soon going to treat yourself and just not do very well we are building a picture in our mind here this is an idea we could say it's a goal then we impress that idea upon this part of our personality that's the idea in our mind now what we've got to understand is that this part of our mind the subject of mind is actually universal intelligence and this is really the way it is when you press the id upon your subconscious mind you are universally everywhere now to help you think of that where here's the phone let's suppose you're in uh i don't know buenos aires and i'm right here in north america and i dial your number i've got you on the phone time and space means nothing because i've got on to that frequency and so you and i can communicate we're connected one person's in buenos aires or you could say singapore you could say shanghai and another one is in new york or in toronto but they're connected why the time and space means nothing because you're dealing with energy and you're dealing with laws now when you impress this idea upon the subconscious mind the subconscious mind is universal intelligence and everything anywhere in the universe that's in harmony that is a frequency understand that that idea is a frequency it's operating on a frequency and so everything that's in harmony with it begins to move toward it because then harmonious vibration and you attract it now throw a slide up scott look here for a moment soaring kikigaard wrote something really great on intuition he said listen you gotta listen you listen with your emotions we can only get in touch with our own source of intuition and wisdom when we no longer depend upon others opinions for our sense of identity or worth we all tend to worship something the question is will we worship the god of opinion or the god of our heart i found i had less and less to say until finally i became silent and began to listen i discovered in the silence the voice of god now look it you're going to attract to you everything that you require to manifest the idea in your mind thoughts will come to you it's your intuition that picks them up and then act on them and just because you've never gone there before you've never done it before that's okay this is where courage comes in this is where awareness and wisdom comes in see intuition is the mental faculty if go back to our slide here for a moment scott intuition is here in our conscious mind it's one of our intellectual factors we have perception the will reason imagination memory and intuition right here now intuition is that mental faculty on a conscious level we pick up thoughts that are flying our way they're flying our way what are they it's energy that's in harmony with you you've got on the frequency of this good that you desire and you're going to start attracting and that's what kierkegaard said we got to start listening we listen with our emotions let's pay attention to what's coming our way i didn't like the idea that when you've lived for so long you've got to cut out you've got to stop i thought hell i don't like that idea at all um first of all i think where where i believe we're here to do god's work god's work is creation you know uh expansion fuller expression greater goodness um and if we're going to do that we're going to be working at it all the time we're here on this planet we never stop so age should have no bearing on it mm-hmm i had a gospel of people ask me when we started to build this place we put a couple of million dollars into this and somebody said how old are you and i think i was probably 83 when they started to break ground they said you're 83 and you're gonna spend two million dollars building a studio and i said yeah like why not i mean you see we let things that really have no concern we let them bother us we let them control us age is a dumb thing to let control you it's our thinking that controls everything that's the one point every great leader agreed on we become what we think about well what's a person thinking i'm thinking if i get old i got to stop well then you'll stop or i'm thinking well if i've been here a long time i've got a lot of experience i want to utilize that experience to keep me going as long as i am here there's a boss and there's a leader leader get people excited about improving the quality of whatever it is themself their work whatever they're doing people follow leaders because they want to people don't follow leaders because they have to that becomes a form of dictatorship yeah and that never works the great leaders people want to follow and leaders inspire you leaders pull the very best out of you leaders know how to look inside and bring the best of you to the surface cause you to look at the higher side of your own personality what the world always is looking for its leader like it's silly to ask who's going to lead the leader is going to lead and the leader just automatically emerges if they threw 50 of us into a committee and say you don't elect a leader you may elect one but the leader is going to lead and it probably isn't the one that's elected yeah that's so true and the reader knows how they know how to get the best out of people i want to talk to you about where you're going and what you want to do with your life you see most people never go after what they want because they don't know every step they have to take to get there i want you to think of a person going up the side of a wall of ice now the only rule for reaching a goal that you have to know is knowing where you're going and knowing that you're going to get there you do not have to know how you're going to get there now pay attention to this for a moment imagine the climber has all his equipment he's got his crampons he's got his climbing rope his hardware his ice axes how does he get to the top he's standing on the ground and he's looking at maybe a hundred foot vertical wall of ice he looks up and he has absolutely no idea the path that he's going to take he just sees himself at the top he reaches up and he puts one pick in and then another pick then he raises one foot and then the other now he's not standing on the ground any longer he's suspended on the wall on a vertical wall of ice that goes up for a hundred feet he adapts to the changes that is taking place in his environment and then and only then does he see the next step and he moves this pick then this pick then this foot then this foot now that's how he gets to the top a step at a time and that's how you're going to get to your goal you just have to know the first step to take and when you take that step you're going to find that your conditions your circumstance and environment will change then you see how you have to make the next step it's a matter of adapting all the time you only have to know two things you have to know where you're going and you have to know that you're going to get there you've got to see it in your mind now this is the beautiful scenario this is what it's all about save that in your mind and think of it often think every time you think of your goal and you're trying to figure out how you're going to do it think of that vertical wall of ice what's the next step that's all you really have to know one step at a time and you'll get to wherever you're going that's how hillary got to the top of mount everest hello there and welcome you know almost everyone has a great idea and they're going to execute the great idea i have all kinds of people come to me i've got a great idea i'd like to share with you what they do is they want me to execute their idea why don't they execute their idea when you get a real good idea you should act on it people have ideas of starting a business i've started a number of different businesses question is where to start you start where you are and you start with what you've got that's all you need when you start where you are and with what you've got and you bring your mind to focus on that idea you will attract everything to you that you need you are taught seek first this kingdom in its righteousness and all these things will be given to us see when you learn to focus on something you get on a frequency and when you're on that frequency you start to attract whatever you want you may not have any money you may not have the resources that you need to execute to build it into something big that doesn't matter all the resources that you need to do anything you want to do is already here but you've got to get in touch with them you've got to get in harmony with them and boom you'll rush them into your life you'll attract the money the people the thoughts the things everything you need you'll attract to you so where do you start you always start where you are and you start with what you've got don't be looking at what you don't have think of what you do have fall in love with your idea and get it rolling now if you tell yourself a lie often enough you're going to start to believe it and way around 1900 william james said believe and your belief will create the fact it's got to be believed you've got to believe it and there's no belief it ain't going to happen see when you believe it you're encased in the idea you fuse with the idea and that makes all kinds of things happen when you believe it there's no quitting you never quit it doesn't matter what happens you don't quit quitting is never an option i the people that quit they never really bought into the idea in the first place see you've gotta you you get it on three levels the second you think of something you've got it intellectually when you get emotionally involved you've got it on a spiritual or emotional level well then that expresses itself through the body body's just an instrument of your mind and so when you're really buying into it you literally fuse with it neville said you fuse with it and this causes all kinds of things to happen you're dealing with electronics you're dealing with energy like the second you think something that's all you need see you live on frequencies you think on frequencies your phone operates on frequencies and it's like magic um you're you're in romania are you right i'm in toronto yes if i've got your number on my phone i could take a picture or something hit it like that you've got it in romania simultaneous with me sending it because when you get into the mind there isn't any time or space it's just immediate yeah well you're living on frequencies now when you think of something what you've done is you flipped your brain onto a higher frequency the very fact you can see it is all the proof you need to know you could get it what you have to do is raise your level of consciousness to that frequency and then you will attract whatever is on that frequency all the good you need to manifest the idea overcoming fear is one of the greatest moves a person can make first of all we have to ask yourself what causes fear fear is caused by ignorance not knowing and if we're going to go and do anything new if we're going to break out of a paradigm if we're going to change habit patterns we're wandering into an area we've never been and you know fear stops most people you'll find people afraid to talk to a stranger you'll find individuals afraid to stand up and ask the question in front of other people you'll find salespeople afraid to make a sales call afraid to ask for the order stop and think of how confining that is a person is putting themselves into a small cell but it's in their own mind the doors aren't locked they can open and you can walk away to freedom if you learn to overcome fear when you face fear it leaves you face the thing you fear and it'll leave you that's really the secret of it in fact if you hold yourself back because of fear your life actually comes to a stop because nothing gets better than it is you've got to be courageous now courageous people aren't without fear courageous people are the ones that face their fear i think eddie rickenbacker pointed that out the great pilot don't let fear stop you make up your mind you're going to step out and do it stop and think of the number of people that are in jobs that they don't like and they're afraid to leave or people in relationships that are destructive and they're afraid to leave this is a terrible way to live and it's not necessary it's just caused by ignorance and when we step out and do something we gain an awareness we develop an understanding and like that the fear is gone make up your mind that fear is not going to stop you from doing the thing you really want to do step out and do it today when i was 26 i had a man that sat down with me and he said why don't you change the way you're living it never entered my mind that i could and looking back and thinking about i think there's all kinds of people wandering the planet there's all kinds of athletes that are not getting the results they want and they don't know they can change them right only one person can continue there's only one person in the whole universe that can change bob and that's bob yeah there's only one person who can change dave and that's dave you know we get inspired by other people we get help from other people but we've got to do it ourselves and he gave me think and grow rich and he said if you do exactly what i tell you you can give anything you want well i didn't believe that but he was so adamant about i believed he believed it and so i started to listen to him and i set a goal i wanted some money i wanted 25 000 now this was in 1961 so it was more money than it is today but i didn't even know anyone with 25 000 he said listen write it on a card keep reading the book keep doing what i tell you so i started to hear people talking about earning money and there was one guy said there's good money cleaning floors you said you should clean floors well i wasn't proud i'd clean floors and he said but you should do it for yourself not for somebody else so he told me where i could buy a used war machine some buckets and mops but i had to borrow a thousand dollars well i was at the point where nobody wanted to touch me with money and i often say i wouldn't have lent it to me right because i wouldn't pay it back not that i didn't want to i just couldn't but i found a guy and he lent me the thousand dollars when you when you bought excuse me because i have a question because i know you when you borrowed that thousand because you owed people money already you explained that to people you know you were just finding yourself but did you have a different feeling about when you borrowed this thousand that quite possibly you were actually gonna be able to just to pay this back this time do you know something if i hadn't had that feeling i wouldn't have got the money i got it from a guy i knew his name al kiper he was running and i didn't know him he had a trust company it was like a bank on danforth avenue in toronto and i went in i read a book where it says go to one bank and then we'll give you go to another one well i ended up sitting in his office and he said what do you want this money for son and i told him i was going to build a cleaning company it was going to be big i had a dream and i had to explain it all to he said i think you'll do it i'm going to lend you the money faith but i knew when i was doing this i had a picture i had a dream you see yeah and within a year i was earning 175 000 a year i had my building up to 15 000 a month working for myself in less than five years we were working in toronto montreal boston cleveland atlanta and london england i had my own company opening offices all over the place why most people don't get what they want out of life is it well they don't know what they want that's right you see i got this and then i got earl nightingale's condensed narration of this on a long playing record and i'd listen to that record over and over and over again one day i was in the business in the cleaning business i had sales people and i had them listen to this record every morning we listened to this record and one day i said you know i'd love to meet him and i didn't know who earl night girl was he was a voice on a record that was it i didn't even know where he lived and a young guy that worked with me he said no you wouldn't he's if you wanted to meet him you'd go and meet him i thought damn he's right so i phoned and i got an appointment with him now at the time he was the most listened to man in the history of the broadcasting industry he was a radio broadcaster and not an easy guy to get to but i got to meet with him for an hour i flew to chicago i spent an hour with him and when i was leaving i said earl what's the big deal you know i mean what's it all about he said there's no big deal he said it's it's very simple he says simply decide what you love to do and then dedicate your life to it he's the problem with most people they don't know what they love to do they never take the time to sit and ask themselves what they're doing is trying i think i can get her in good money here i could do a good you know it's breaking the earn some money it's not what they love to do well i was sitting there now i had offices all over the place i had a lot of people i was earning a lot of money and i i got excited because i knew exactly what i wanted to do i want to do what he was doing and i made up my mind sitting in his office that would be somewhere around 1965 that i was going to go back and i was going to work with him [Music] and in 1968 i moved to chicago i left my own company i moved to chicago and i started to work with we hear patience is a virtue i suppose it probably is but i think patience real patience is an expression of deep understanding you see everything happens when it's supposed to happen everything in this universe happens by law we set targets and we need things to happen we need something to come or someone to do something and frequently we get frustrated because it isn't happening when we think it should happen our problem is we're not thinking we believe we're in charge we are not in charge we are in charge of building the idea and holding the idea everything else happens automatic it happens by law all ideas have a gestation or an incubation period i'm told when we plant a carrot in the area of the world that i live it takes approximately 70 days for that carrot to grow and manifest in form when the seed for the babies planted it takes approximately 280 days and we're usually patient we will wait the 280 days why because we know it's going to take approximately 280 days well just because we don't know how long it's going to take doesn't mean that it isn't operating by the same laws everything operates by law so if we gain an understanding that all the ideas in our mind will ultimately move into form that's what andrew carnegie taught napoleon hill carnegie was hill's mentor he said any idea that's held in the mind that's emphasized that's either feared or revered will begin it wants to clothe itself in the most convenient and appropriate form available you might want to listen to that two or three times burn it into your mind gain an understanding of it and you will know that whatever you're working on takes a period of time no one knows what the gestation period is for an idea we only know we can shorten it through concentration through focus and when you understand that you'll become more patient and when you're more patient you're living in a much more beautiful vibration you'll be a more pleasant person to be around you will enjoy yourself more patience it's the result of understanding if you really analyze your beliefs you'll change them right i had a friend one time i i was trying to figure out where do beliefs come from how do you because all religion and all science will tell you you got to believe it william james from harvard 1900 he said believe in your belief will create the fact so belief is an interesting word you got to believe it and i was having lunch with a mentor one time and he said our belief system is based upon our evaluation of something frequently if we reevaluate a situation our belief about that situation will change it was like bells were going off my head because i was trying to understand belief how do you change your belief well he told me it's through reevaluation and so i started to evaluate myself and reevaluate what i was doing it took me nine and a half years but i figured out why i changed and it was the repetition of information thank you you're in sports you know it's repetition yep repetition repetition well but practice doesn't make you perfect perfect practice makes you perfect there's a big difference great point and so i found that the part of our mind that controls our behavior is not the part of our mind that gathers information school deals with the part of your mind that gathers information and so we gather all kinds of information and if we can remember it they give us a test we pass the test we get the degree and we're educated that's not education at all that is gathering information education as hill pointed out comes from the latin aduko meaning to reduce to develop or to draw from within we have genius in us we have absolute perfection in us and what we have to do is learn how to tap into that to let it out but we have a part of our mind that controls our behavior and that's where a paradigm is and the paradigm literally controls our behavior i don't care what you're doing if you're not altering the paradigm you're not going to improve your results there's so much about ourselves we never learn the part of our mind that controls us is our intellect or our subconscious where the paradigm is but we're trained to live through our senses we're trained to go by what we see hear smell taste touch and we've got to understand that we've got this genius within us and if we will consciously gain an awareness and understanding of how to alter the paradigm that's controlling our behavior when we learn that we can start to improve life just like that and there's no end to what we're capable of doing we're conditioned genetically all mums dna and all dad's dna becomes our dna there's two particles of energy come together that's the moment of conception 280 days later we make our debut on the planet then we're programmed by our environment because our subconscious mind which is totally deductive it has no ability to reject the subconscious mind is immoral it's like the earth it doesn't care what you plant but it'll return what you plant earl nightingale used a beautiful example on the strangest secret he said you can plant night shade a deadly poison not a sixteenth of an inch away you can plant corn as sweet food one will grow with just as great in abundance as the other and that's the way your subjective mind works you put the wrong idea in it will grow put the right idea in it will grow we have the ability to change what's in there we did not program it it was programmed through genetic history where the confluence of a genetic pool that goes back for generations that's at birth and then environmentally and we have the ability to alter all that see any success i've had i've had because i've got great mentors and i'm a good student now until i was 26 i was a terrible student when i picked up this book i become a great student i've got thousands of books i have an office at home in my home it's got a couple of thousand books in it and then i built a studio and i've got a couple thousand bucks in the studio i love reading but the success that i've enjoyed is because of the mentors of the coaches i've had i would do exactly what they tell me and if i coach somebody today and they don't do exactly what i tell them i don't coach them anymore just like that it's all over it's not ready well they're not they're it's not that only that they're not ready but if i'm going to coach somebody and they're not doing what i tell them i'm wasting my time and theirs too now if they want to waste their time that's their prerogative i'm not going to waste my you know forgiving is one of the most freeing concept anybody can ever get involved with most people look at forgiveness as helping the other person somebody hurts you somebody does you wrong but you're going to forgive them you're going to be kind to them it has nothing to do with the other person it has to do with yourself that's really what it has to do see forgiveness is a cleansing concept it's clearing the mind of all negativity clearing the mind of anything that might go wrong it's a very freeing concept if you were to do some harm to me and i forgive you you haven't got anything to do with it it's i'm letting go of something that was bothering me that's negative and i don't want to hold on to that forgiving frees the one that's doing the forgiving it's a phenomenal concept forgive means to let go of completely abandon let it go don't hold on to it you know somebody does you wrong you have to ask themselves ask yourself wonder why they would do that there's something bothering them they're not really trying to hurt you it's something that's bothering them let it go just forgive it forgive the idea and i guarantee you you'll feel a lot better one of the greatest hang-ups that people have is the belief in themself they they suffer from something called self-doubt many years ago i read something um it was by um ralph waldo emerson it was this essay on self-reliance that's what we want to do we want to rely on self and in that he said there would come a time in every person's education when they'd realize that envy is ignorance and the imitation is suicide so many people look at someone that's doing very well possibly in the same field they're in and envy them do you know what that's saying that's saying i don't know that i have the same mental faculties you've got i'm drawing on the same potential that you're drawing on there is only one mind i don't know that so i'm going to end you thinking you can do something i'm not able to do the truth is if you can do it i can do it envy is ignorance it's not knowing that and he said imitation is suicide do you know that nothing in this universe would move in the precise order it moves in your absence that's true everything in the universe is essential you take any part away from anything it's not complete and everything in the universe moves in a very precise way so you see we shouldn't even want to be like anybody else because we are unique we are truly unique there's something like about us that you'll never find in another person we're unique and we've got the god-like ability to think now what is self-doubt self-doubt is the opposite of self-confidence confidence comes from understanding like i would imagine you're confident you can drive your car in fact you're so confident that you'll be talking to somebody on the phone you'll get in the car you'll start the car you'll drive and you'll drive maybe four or five blocks not even be unaware of what you've done it's all done automatic your concentration is on the conversation you're on now when you first got in a car you couldn't do that the car was probably jumping all over the place and you thought you'd never learn how to drive it but you learned how to drive it now you're quite confident you're confident that you can get dressed when you get up in the morning when you were a little boy or a little girl you couldn't do that you had to be taught to do it well you know self-confidence comes like all confidence it comes with knowledge and the more you study you the more you understand who you are the more confident you'll become in your ability to do whatever it is you're doing and you'll know that if you lack confidence in an area it's because you liked information in that area never doubt yourself and when you do understand that the cause of that doubt is not lying within you it's in wrong thinking it's in not understanding who you are study yourself self-study will develop self-confidence and self-confidence eliminates self-doubt love is the greatest thing love what you do i went to visit earl nightingale one time way back in the 60s i'll never forget it and i was leaving i felt i was so grateful i had an hour of his time and i said earl what's the real secret i mean what's the big deal well he said there isn't any big deal about him and there isn't any secret it's simply a matter of sitting down and determining what you really love to do and then make a decision to dedicate your life to it man did i get excited he said the problem with most people is they don't know what to do and they never make a decision to dedicate their life to anything i got so jazzed i knew exactly what i would love doing i would love to do what he was doing that made up my mind i wanted to do it and i wanted to do it with him and i made up my mind i would make a commitment to that for the rest of my life you know something that's exactly what i've done i love what i'm doing i love it i absolutely love it now when you love doing something you'll run baby and you won't get weary you'll walk and you won't get tired you know why you're a free flow the energy is just freely throwing through you you are the greatest instrument then that god's got you're here to do god's work what's god's word god's work is creation god's the creator you're creating god's image you've been given creative faculties fall in love with what you do and you'll be creating great stuff wherever you go love what you do love the people that you're working with fall in love with the idea of love at a very early age we put a cap on awareness and then we say now it's all about the intellect and so we've got lessons in school and you got to remember what's in the book and if you pass the test you get the degree there's all kinds of people walking out of schools with degrees they're going crazy by degrees and yet they can't find work they're broke you've got people that have a doctor it's in economics and they're broke how could that happen because they don't know how to use the information they've gathered the average individual is self-serving they're they're they're always focused on themselves i want you to just pay conscious attention today write a little note maybe that you fold up on carrying your hand why do you do that just to remind you that you want to pay attention to everybody you meet what are they doing are they really trying to help other people or are they really trying to find help for themselves are they self-serving or are they serving others you're going to find the people that are the best at serving others they are the big winners in life figure out how you can improve the service you're rendering now i'm probably a little older than you so i've been running around the park for quite a while longer than you and i have learned one thing really well in life that my success my happiness is going to be dependent on how good i get at serving you or serving other people i spend most of my time trying to figure out how to help other people i do i don't spend much time you know i get almost everything i want almost everything i want there's very few things i can't even think of anything i want christmas birthday comes along well i don't know you know send a donation in my name i like i don't want anything and it's got to a point where i just want to serve others so i want to do is serve others now i'm a pretty happy guy pretty healthy guy pretty wealthy guy what have i done i have just learned how to fall in love with the idea of serving other people our company's success is going to be dependent upon how many people we can serve and how well we serve them we have a phenomenal staff of people in proctor gallagher institute i choose to believe that we have i just i just love our staff we have some of the most phenomenal people and we've got people come like we have a guy tommy collier the guy is a creative genius he came he wanted to come to work with us you want to work with us i thought wow guys so good you will attract good people if that's all you want to do just serve other people that's what we do and we've got everybody in the company that's where they're going we've got some pretty happy people very successful people and all we did is focus on serving other people companies that are enjoying the most success they're the ones that provide the most the best service this is the way it works it always has worked that way and i'm inclined to believe that it always will work that way fall in love with the idea of serving others you'll be very happy but you'll also be very successful you should seek failures see if you're playing it safe you're not going to win if you're playing it safe like that old saying you know you're talking you're a little girl better to be safe than sorry well that's a bunch of crap it's not better to be safe than sorry it's by trying things that you figure out how far you can go you got to get outside the box like it's reported edison tried 3 000 ways before he built the incandescent light he he said he didn't fail 3 000 times he said there was 3 000 different steps to building a light bulb well there's different steps to get to where you're going and i really do treat winning and losing exactly the same i do not let it upset me do you think that's a big part of why you're so successful well it's part of why i enjoy it um yeah i think it is because i try anything like if if i'm into an idea the idea of losing never enters my mind see i have worked with giants i had the good fortune of working with sir edmund hillary he was the first man to stand on top of the world and i worked with him on three different occasions and the only difference in ed hillary and bob proctor is in his his size now he's gone now but he was a big man when he shook hands with me his hand wrapped right around mine i felt like a dwarf you know and in talking to him like it never entered his mind he wouldn't get to the top of the mountain but he failed in 1951 he failed in 1952 it wasn't until 1953 that he got to the top of the mountain now people had died for centuries trying to do that he said i knew if i could see it in here i could hold it out here still a man wrote that in the book you can see it in your head you can hold it in your hand and that's right and if you're not prepared to lose you're never going to win because you're always playing it safe and there's no there's no reward in that look at these two men do you know who they are most people don't they're just a couple of ordinary guys one they're both gone now but one was an ordinary beekeeper in auckland new zealand and the other as sherpa guide from over around nepal now there's mount everest do you know for thousands of years people had tried to get to the top mount everest people died doing it it was believed it couldn't be done people tried but they didn't know how and so they quit there's a closer look at the mountain and where they placed their flag they planted that flag in the mountain now this is the two of them after they come down the mountain and you know something when they started they did not know how they didn't know how to get to the top of the mountain and that's what stops most people because they don't know how as little kids we'd go mummy daddy i want this and they said how are you going to do that well as a little kid you don't know how to do it but they did it in 1953 on the 29th of may they were the first two to get to the top of that mountain they stood right in top of the world do you know there's been over a thousand people do it since then i watched a young woman on canadian television being interviewed not very big she just come back from going to the top of mount everest and the reporter asked her they said how does it feel now that you conquered the mountain she we didn't conquer the mountain that mountain can't be conquered we conquered the limitations that are within ourselves j.c penney when he was 92 somebody asked him how are you doing well he said my eyesight is fading me but he said my vision has never been better [Music] van gogh one time was asked how do you do such beautiful work he said i dream my painting and then i paint my dream [Music] vision vision where there is no vision the people will perish what is vision vision is a long-range view of a multiplicity of things you want to do [Music] now your purpose is why you're living your vision then you want everything to be on purpose your vision then is like a funnel coming out of your head going off out into the future it's a long range picture of a multiplicity of things you want to do your goal is taking a bite out of your vision so sit and think i'm god's highest form of creation i've got mental faculties that go beyond the scope of my imagination and build a long-range vision of all the magnificent things you want to do live with a vision if you're not doing that now you're missing something in life that's very valuable stop whatever you're doing right now and totally relax and build a vision of doing all kinds of things in the future future they all blend in together but they're all different and your life just gets bigger and better and bigger and better and bigger and better that's the vision of your life vision it's a beautiful picture it's like a movie in your mind a vision you build the vision with your imagination not with your eyes but with your imagination see a person hasn't got this where there is no vision the people will perish it's so true so true television i quoted andrew carnegie a few minutes ago he said any idea that's held in the mind that's emphasized that's either feared or revered begins at once to clothe itself in the most convenient and appropriate form available depression comes it starts out from ignorance doubt and worry i've got a chart i show it doubt and worry is on the negative side of life understanding is on the positive side don't worry comes from ignorance understanding comes from knowledge but you've got to study to get it don't in worry are a psychic disease it's an intellectual exercise they're using their intellectual factors to build a negative idea and that's all they see they take and internalize that and they get emotionally involved with it it goes from don't worry to fear they've emotionalized the doubt or worry turns into fear the fear is in the emotional mind and the emotion must be expressed through the only instrument that can be expressed through the physical body so it moves a body into a state we call anxiety anxiety is never expressed anxieties suppressed the suppression turns to depression they've all led up inside they suppressed the fear it turns into depression the depression turns into disease the disease turns into decay sinclair lewis was right he said we don't die we kill ourselves now what is the opposite of all that you go from ignorance to don't worry to fear anxiety suppression depression disease disintegration go over on the other side you go from understanding to emotional state called faith you just know it's going to move into form because you understand the law faith doesn't believe in something you can't see strange thing about faith and fear they both demand you believe something you can't see why would people choose fear over faith because they're ignorant so you go from understanding to faith the faith manifests on the physical plane not as anxiety as well-being the well-being is not suppressed it's expressed and the expression turns to acceleration you're building energy and that is because there's no disease you're at ease and that turns into creation not disintegration it's all it's all a mental trip that they're building now they go to the doctor the doctor gives them valium or some kind of drug to cool them out he gets them numb so they don't know what the hell they're doing have you ever thought of failing your way to success think about that for a moment do you know that anyone that enjoys any kind of success feels their way there that's right they do i want you to think of this for a moment see this little light here someone gave me this as a gift this is a replica of the light that edison built and you know he spent a long time before he got this thing to glow he really did and [Music] he started off because he had an image of it in his mind that every time he tried he failed and he failed 3 000 times it's been said no i've never really talked edison so i don't know if that's accurate but i have an idea it is 3 000 failures now a reporter asked him one time how he felt about failing 3 000 times he said i didn't fail 3 000 times he's there with 3 000 steps to get to where i'm going you know if i were to tell you all the sad stories about it's got me to where i am i would really spoil your week and there's been some real sad stories i think it might even make me cry again but i've had so many failures that i wouldn't even want to guess at it i have i've blown everything i had three different times i never let it bother me much and you know i have found that every time i failed i moved closer to the goal you see if you knew how to do it now you'd be going sideways when you're going after a goal you're going ahead and because you're going where you've never been you're going to make mistakes you don't know it all you have perfection within you and the objective of life is to bring that perfection to the surface that's exactly what this guy did well you're going to make a lot of mistakes bringing that to the surface those mistakes are steps to where you're going i often tell sales people that are afraid to make a call just to get out there and make a call and their objective isn't to sell their objective is just make the call if you make the call and you're afraid and you do it you're successful you've accomplished what you want to do you made a call and after you get comfortable making those calls then you can start to polish up your presentation and odds are pretty good you'll start making sales and if you keep polishing up your presentation and working at getting better you're going to master a thing called selling but if you think that you're going to enjoy great success there's just one win after another you're kidding yourself it just doesn't happen i don't even know anyone that's pulled that kind of a deal off if they did they were cheating or lying you don't get what you want you get what you are you've got to become what you want you've got to realize that the minute you hold your mind in harmony with the good you want then you've already got it it's only a period of time until it manifests in physical form you've got it intellectually and you can talk to somebody about it you've got it emotionally you can share your feelings it's only a period of time till it moves into form that's called the perpetual transmutation of energy that is a law the first law of the universe do you have any regrets for your life no absolutely not i'll tell you i probably would have said yes 15 20 years ago then what happened i was watching johnny carson's show the late show and johnny carson wasn't there george carlin the comedian was sitting in for him and they're both dead now vincent price a movie actor was a guest he's gone too but vincent price had just shot a pilot and of course they told the public on television it's a new series well it wasn't a new series at all they were hoping it would turn into a new series they shot a pilot if they got good ratings then they'd shoot a dozen more of them right and so after they went through the small talk carl and says to him well tell me vince vincent tell me about our new your new series and vince says oh i think everybody's going to love it he said it's about a train and it's like a magic train is you can buy a ticket to go back in your life i would pay for that at any point you want to start over and he said when you get there i'm the conductor on the train i stopped the train now you off and he said i think everybody'd like to go back and start over at some point don't you think so i thought yeah i could think of a couple of things where i could have started over and george carlin said no i don't think so he said if i went back and changed anything that had happened in my life i wouldn't be me and i like me i thought god what a perfect answer no regrets everything that happened was necessary to make me who i am to premiere prepare me to do what i'm going to do and you see the crazy part about it none of us know what we're going to do we think we know right we've got to track but things happen that barrier to security well there's a couple of them okay i think there's two barriers one is our conditioning the conditioning that takes place in our subconscious mind from the time we're infants all we can do is act and talk like the people around us that's why we learn the language we learned if there was 10 languages spoken in our home we'd learn 10 languages without any trouble there's usually one and that's the only one we ever learn we grow older and we think well i couldn't learn another language we could learn 100 if we wanted to you can do anything but i think we're conditioned we have a real strong conditioning usually with not some very good ideas and then that that's the the barrier that's inside is the one that's outside of us says our environment we have a tendency to act like everybody around us and if you think about this it doesn't make a lot of sense because if you study statistics 95 of the people live their entire life and never live the way they want to live you know that 95 percent of the population in this country let's say in north america okay the richest continent in the history of the world they'll work productively let's say for 40 of their 65 years okay and they'll end up with hardly any money there's got to be something wrong you know don schuler the coach of the old my miami dolphins he said it's the start that stops most people and he's right it is the start that stops most people they're always going to get ready to get set to get going what we've got to do is boom just like that move into action see if you don't get started you're never going to get finished how do we do that start early i believe when you wake up you should get up the second you wake up get your feet hit the floor move into action and you know you'd be wise if you sit down at night before you go to bed and write down six goal achieving activities now that isn't go to the store go to the bank or get to cleaning it's not that these are goal achieving activities write down six of them and when you wake up in the morning you move into action you know where you're gonna go you don't even have to think about it step into action and get on the first one when you get it done forget it and go to the second one don't think about the first one focus on two don't even think about three when you get two done go to three but knock them off one at a time if you don't get them all done just move them over onto the next day now that doesn't mean if you only get three done that you have nine the next day there are three of the six that you're gonna do the next day six goal achieving activities and when you wake up in the morning move into action on them quit holding yourself back don't wait and say well i really don't know how i'm going to get started and the way will show itself it just appears i have found when you get started when you move into action everything starts to happen around you i have worked all over the world i mean all over asia china south america north america europe and i'm always asking people what do you really want and i have found most people don't want to be really wealthy what they do want is they don't want to have any financial concerns if they want to buy a new suit they can go get one if they want to take a trip they can take the trip if they want a new car they can get the new car they don't want to just run out and spend or buy they don't want to have any financial concerns two they want to wake up in the morning excited about how they're going to spend their day and the third they want to mix with people who are upbeat and creatively productive these are the three things that people really want so in answer to your question if somebody's watching what's the first thing they should do well the first thing they should do is understand why we have goals not just to set a goal because most people don't set goals right they they're operating with a limited level of consciousness so they're thinking hmm if i could get a little more money and if i could get him to help me and her to help me and this happened then i could do this maybe this is get a new car what we've got to understand is we're trading our life for our goals literally trading our life would you trade your life for a car or a house i don't think so so it's got to be something really meaningful and we're not taught to think this way we should sit down and don't give any thought to where the money is going to come from where the help's going to come from it's what do you really want like ed hillary was a beekeeper in auckland that story he wanted to climb mount everest it had never been done people died trying to do it he went in 51 and failed he went back in 52 and failed in 1953 he stood on top of the mountain with tenzing norgay but he didn't know how to get there until after he had got there edison didn't know how to illuminate the world until after he had done it the wright brothers were bicycle mechanics in dayton ohio no one believed you could fly they had been trying it for years but they saw it but they wanted to do it they didn't know how and they couldn't tell you until after they had done it now the first flight only lasted 12 seconds and the naysayers said yeah but they only were up there for 12 seconds they said we not only got up there we kept the damn thing up there for 12 seconds so when a person sets a goal they've got to say what could i want if i just let my mind rock just wander use my imagination how do i really want to live that's what they should be doing most people don't use their imagination constructively most people use their imagination destructively they imagine what they don't want we've got to consciously and deliberately imagine what we do want if we will take and sit down with a pen and ask ourself what do i really want what do i really want and write it down and then make a written description of it in the present tense writing causes thinking thinking creates an image and you get these images going you're building a vision in your mind it's the visionaries that change the world think of that the fact that i can sit and look into this camera and you can sit and look at me on your phone or on your tv or on your laptop that was the result of somebody's vision do you know everything you've got the clothes you wear the house you live in this microphone that's in front of me it was all the result of somebody's vision it's not an accident you and i have a marvelous imagination and everything starts with a vision van gogh was asked how he did such beautiful work he said first i dream my painting and then i paint my dream many years ago i read a book by terry cole whitaker it was a classic what you think of me is none of my business think of the amount of time that is wasted on negative energy wondering what other people think of you what they think of you really doesn't make any difference it's what you think of you that makes a difference so as you go through the day don't worry about what other people think of you just say i'm all right i'm god's highest form of creation see this line that's called the terror barrier yeah jumping at you isn't it and on the other side of the terror barrier is something we call freedom and you know very few people get through that terror barrier it's rather sad freedom is available to everyone there isn't anyone that cannot live the way they want to live see why don't they why don't they they don't know and they don't even know they don't know now i'm going to show you why people experience buyer's remorse when they buy something they really want and then they back away where they go to move and they don't they go to change jobs they don't they go to move to another city and they don't why fear causes them to stay where they are there's the individual the x represents the unknown factor the paradigm now there's a power flowing into this individual's mind and they can make anything out of it they want remember we said we have the ability to choose what do they choose they choose thoughts that are in harmony with the paradigm now here's an important point the paradigm controls the vibration of this thing we call our body our body is a molecular instrument that's really what it is it's a massive molecules and a very high speed of vibration the vibration that the body's in on a conscious level we call feeling when a person says they feel this way or they feel that way what they're really doing is describing the vibration they're in now they choose thoughts that harmonize with the vibration they're in so they feel comfortable they may not like the results but they're comfortable now let's move ahead let's take a look here those people are getting x-type results and they don't like it do you know what the problem with them they're in bondage these people are locked up you know paradigm is like keeping a person in a prison only there's no locks on the door they can open the prison and walk out into freedom anytime they want and they don't they keep getting the same results over and over and over again they're in bondage now let's go ahead here's the same person x type conditioning x-type vibration the power is flowing into them and for some strange reason from left field boom in comes a y type idea what is the y type idea the y type idea represents anything that you might want to do that you're not doing it might be moved to another city change jobs sell the house buy the farm whatever it may be ask the little girl for the date ask the guy to go to lunch go make the sale buy what you want go where you want to go that's the why idea but as long as the y idea is just in the conscious mind it's just going to be an intellectual exercise it's never going to happen so how do we make it happen well that's when everything goes haywire here we are here same person okay the power flows in and what do they do they got the y type idea now for some strange reason they know that they've got to get emotionally involved if they're going to act on that idea they don't understand what's going to happen but clearly understand this your central nervous system is the most complex electrical system in the universe the central nervous system is mind-boggling it would make the electrical system in a super computer look like a toy now the second you take the idea from your intellect and impress it upon the subject of mind that's when all hell breaks loose because the body moves in to an extra xy vibration it's not in the x vibration not the one that we're comfortable with may not like the results but we're comfortable no on a conscious level everything's going crazy on a conscious level we experience doubt that doubt turns into an emotion called fear and that fear is expressed through the body as anxiety see that person is getting emotionally involved to move ahead do you know what happens they hit that terror barrier and they bounce off it and right back into bondage and they're so relieved to get back there they're back where they're comfortable they've canceled the sale they've decided not to move they're going to stay in the job that they don't like at least they're comfortable now that's not a very good way to live and you know something that's something everybody experiences if they're going to grow you're going to hit that terror barrier see the terror barrier is going beyond where you're at going to a new level i'm going to tell you something when i set a goal if if if it doesn't scare and excite me at the same time i know i'm going in the wrong direction now i also understand that my paradigm is going to try and get me to bounce back to where i was it doesn't want me to move ahead i don't want to live there i lived there for the first 26 years of my life and for the last 50 i've had a phenomenal life and it just keeps getting better and i want you to do the same thing understand what i've just said i'm going to back this up they got emotionally involved in the y idea that moved their body into a different vibration on a conscious level they're experiencing some crazy stuff they start to doubt their ability will never be able to pay for it they experience fear the fear expresses itself as anxiety and bang you bounce off that terror barrier and you're right back oh i might not be earning my chair but i know what it is i i would love to move there but i'm comfortable here i think i'll just stay here these people are acting like they have a contract to live forever and they don't do you know what to do say i'm going to get rid of all that i understand it's there but i don't want any part of it and i'm going to go crashing right through that terror barrier now does that get rid of the x energy no the x energy is still there you see but at least you're over into freedom you made the move you did it and if you continue to feed the right information into your mind keep feeding that y idea keep getting emotionally involved in the y idea you're there you're on the road keep doing that you're going to find that the paradigm is going to change and it'll just all go away and you know where you're living in freedom you're living where you want to live buyer's remorse is when you cancel the sale buyer's remorse is when you stop just before you buy what you really want before you go for the thing that's going to change your life and you know it it's not moving to the other city it's not starting the business of your dreams it's not stepping out and betting on yourself that's a terror barrier that's causing that and if you don't learn to go through the terror barrier i'm going to tell you something you're going to stay right where you are for the rest of your days that's not a good place to be what did joseph campbell say so true the cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek many years ago i read where napoleon hill pointed out that the imagination is the most marvelous miraculous inconceivably powerful force that the world has ever known [Music] and you know the average individual uses the imagination if they use it at all against themselves they imagine what they don't want they imagine problems coming let's begin to use our imagination the way god meant it to be used it's the greatest creative faculty that we possess and we can build anything we want with it i want you to wander around your home or possibly your office and take a look at all of the conveniences that you have there that you didn't have let's say two years five years ten years ago 25 years ago do you know that every one of them without exception was first created in the mind of one individual with their imagination do you know you can use your imagination to go into the future and bring it into the present that's what all highly successful people do they see where they want to go and then they act like the person they want to become it was william james from harvard's advice he says is the actor's technique act like the person you want to become how do you do that but you use your imagination of course you see it's a strange phenomena but the greatest gift we've got is used very well up till the ages of four or possibly five the little child we always wonder what's going on in their mind they're using their imagination they're building wonderful pictures in their mind but then they get to school and wham like that it comes to an abrupt halt it's called not paying attention daydreaming well what they were really doing was exercising a phenomenal mental faculty you see we can see hear smell taste touch therefore our physical benefit as long as we're living in a physical body and corresponding with the material world we will use our sensory factors but you know i have a couple of little dogs at home that can hear see smell taste and touch we've got higher faculties the will memory intuition reason and imagination these marvelous tools we can take our imagination and build an image in our mind of how we want to live block out what's going now don't let your present results have anything to do with this just what you want and it's with your imagination that you will build it everything that we have the camera that i'm speaking to right now was first created in the mind of one individual [Music] think of how our world's changed you see we were gifted with these higher faculties we're god's highest form of creation we were created in god's image we were given creative faculties to use and you know they're only used by two or three percent of the population [Music] it's almost inconceivable that we people would wander around with so much power and potential and squander it see the average person literally tiptoes through life hoping they make it safely to death it's such a shame and it doesn't have to be that way i think we have giant corporations and little weak creative departments the primary reason for that is the average individual really does not believe that they're creative i think everyone's creative and no one is more creative than another it's just that some have chosen to use their creative faculties to a greater degree than others imagination your imagination what do you want how do you really want to live build the picture in your mind there's a power that is flowing to and through you a creative unadulterated power it can be photographed leaving your body way back in the 30s simeon curling the russian photographer perfected a form of photography where you can actually photograph a person's body and you will see the energy glowing from them well that energy flows into your mind and it's the images you build in your mind that's going to dictate the vibration that this instrument you're living in is in and the vibration on a conscious level is called feeling make certain that you exercise your imagination daily build beautiful images in your mind of how you want to live and then hold those pictures there and live that way the imagination the greatest nation in the world the imagination you've got one it's a marvelous creative tool it deals with the invisible side of your personality you see no one will ever really see you they'll only see your body and they'll see you the great work that you do make certain that your work is great work and if you keep your imagination alive keep it active you're going to have a phenomenal life you know life can get better every day and it will get better every day through the proper use of your imagination what a wonderful idea is bob proctor thank you dr maxwell maltz wrote a book back around 1960 it was called self-image psychology psycho-cybernetics it's a phenomenal book he said it was the greatest discovery of his generation he was a cosmetic or a reconstructive surgeon and he found he would do work on people he might have been a nose job or removed a terrible scar and he noticed that when he did that there was a phenomenal change in their personality but he noticed with others he would make a phenomenal physical change and there was no change in their personality and that led him to postulate that we have two images we have the one that's coming back from the mirror but we've got an inner image and that inner self image is literally controlling our life you will find people that have a very poor self-image or low self-esteem they won't look you straight in the eye they're afraid to shake hands with you they're very shy and withdrawn they go through life hiding from life they don't like themselves they don't know themselves do you know when a person improves their self-image they change their entire life their income change their relationship change their health changes and you know how you do that start studying you start to find out more about you there's something phenomenal about you do you know when i began to study this material 57 years ago i had very poor self-image i had low self-esteem i took dumb jobs i never earned any money i never had fun i had poor relationships and as i started to study start to study real solid information everything in my life started to improve i've got friends all over the world today i earn millions of dollars i'm in my 80s and i get as much energy as a person in their 30s you see when you start to understand really who you are you're god's highest form of creation there's things about you that just about blow your mind as you start to study and really understand them you'll walk a little taller you'll stand a little straighter and you know something you'll enjoy a whole lot more of life you've got to wake up you see all we're ever going to get is awareness we've already got everything the only thing we lack is the awareness of what we've got we're god's highest form of creation there's nothing on the planet that will equal us well that's all we're that's all any of us are after that's all the problems in the world come from ignorance that's the purpose of life overcome ignorance develop awareness the only way to overcome ignorance is through knowledge and the only way to get the knowledge is to study most people they finish school close the book saying that's over i'm never going to open another book as long as i live they're screwed it's all over napoleon hill in think and grow rich wrote an entire chapter on decision most people never make decisions they have a difficult time with it why is that i think they have a difficult time because their parents made decisions for them until they were too old and they never learned how to make them you know the one thing that i did with my kids i never made a decision for them they didn't like it they'd say come on don't do that to me i said no what do you think you should do and i'd leave it at that decision making is a phenomenal concept and you're going to find out as he points out in here that successful people make decisions very fast and they change them very slow if and when they change them at all and he said the people that have difficulty in life make their decisions very slow and then change them fast and often and you know decision making is a funny thing you and i think on frequencies if we can see a bunch of lines and we're thinking on a frequency and we're on this frequency here and we'll say i'm going to do that when this changes this is never going to change until you get up on this frequency see the good that you're after is on a higher frequency than you're operating on a greater awareness and if you're down here and you're thinking here on this frequency and the good you want up here you got to get your mind up there how do you get up there make the decision be there and that's really what you have to do the second you make a decision you flip your brain onto a different frequency and you start to attract things to you that you couldn't you'd never get without making the decision see someone woke me up that's all i want to do with someone else what the man said to me the first guy he said you can have whatever you want well you know they you get thinking that you can get out of the box that's where you've been given an imagination to get out of the box it's with your imagination that you build images of what you want and if you can build the image you can do it you can hold it in your head you can hold it in your hand when we understand that like i would imagine this goes out to a lot of athletes well they can they can have anything they want they got to pay the price and when doubt comes in kick it out you can't afford the doubt if i want to do something i find somebody that's already done it and then i do exactly what they tell me it's a simple rule to follow i i don't read novels i don't watch movies um i'd watch documentaries or things like that where i can learn and i'm only interested in studying something that can cause me to become more of what i'm capable of being see i think we're all hardwired to do something really special with our life and that's all i want to do i'm really good at what i do i could walk by a person in the hall like that i could tell them exactly what they're like i could read their energy like a book everything goes on the inside shows the outside see we're gifted with with faculties of the mind that the average person knows nothing about you have intuition the will reason imagination perception memory that's what separates us from all the rest of forms of life we go through school never learn anything about it like you'll hear people say they have a bad memory there's no such thing as a bad memory everybody has a perfect memory it's just weak they've never developed it our imagination your imagination is the most magnificent he hill said it's the most marvelous miraculous inconceivably powerful force the world's ever known i can use my imagination to project myself into the future and bring the future into the present and start living there you work from the imagination you don't work to it you work from it backwards from the result yeah you know the people you surround yourself with have a phenomenal impact on your life i think it was carl meneger from the medicare foundation one time said environment is more important than heredity the people were surrounded by have a greater bearing on our life and our success in life than what's built into the genes at birth there's genetic conditioning there's environmental conditioning well this environmental conditioning goes on all the way through life you will find as you improve the quality of your life improve your thinking you're going to attract a different group of people into your life and they are going to add to your life see the people we're surrounded by their thinking is going right into our mind we want to mix with people who are really making it happen take a look at your five people that you're with most often and ask yourself if i have children would i want them to grow up be like them if the answer is no you better start looking for some new friends if the answer is yes you're already in the right circle of people think about what i'm saying the people we're surrounded with have a phenomenal impact on our life and help make us who we are william james from harvard said believe and your belief will create the fact all things are possible if you believe well you know i studied for a long time i started to study this book think and grow rich and he talks about belief in here he says you're not ready for what you want until you believe you can get it i found that the only two sources of reference we could go to to find out anything about yourself is science and religion they all say you've got to believe so i get figured out how do you how do you believe how do you change a belief interesting subject because i'm going to tell you something your results are nothing but the manifestation of your belief system well our belief system now listen carefully is based upon our evaluation of something and frequently when we re-evaluate a situation our belief about that situation will change let me repeat that our belief system is based upon our evaluation of something frequently if we re-evaluate a situation our belief about it will change i began re-evaluating who i was i started to study i never stopped studying and i found as i reevaluated i had a much higher opinion of myself i found out things about me that i would have never believed if you had told me the power that's locked up within us the marvelous system we've got you know the blood circulates through your veins every 33 seconds through hundreds of miles of passageway bang just like that colors all the food in and all the garbage out stop and think of the central nervous system it's the most complex electrical system in the world and you've got it think of your brain an electronic switching station like that you can change the vibration of yourself and everything around you we have awesome powers and it's all based on what you believe about you sandy gallagher is my business partner love her she is really good she was going through a very tough time personally a number of years ago we were in phoenix we were doing a seminar i had to leave catch a plane somewhere and she said before you leave could we get together maybe for a cup of coffee could you um i want to talk to you and i said sure so we went across the road to a coffee shop and we were sitting there and she said could you give me two or three ideas that i could do every day that would help me through this i said sure i didn't know what i was going to tell her but i knew i'd tell her something so i said every day i want you to take a pen and write down every morning write down 10 things you're grateful for but you've really got to be grateful you've got to feel it you're really grateful then i want you to send love to three people that are bothering you they're bothering you you don't like them they've got nothing to do with it you're thinking bad thoughts about them you're putting yourself in a bad vibration send love to three people that bother you and then take five minutes and be quiet just be perfectly quiet and ask for guidance for the day everybody in our company does that every day she started to do it like that everything changed in fact my assistant gina who's been with me over 30 years she was working in phoenix and i phoned gina i told her what i wanted within an hour she had a pad printed at kinko's and had it the ten things from one down to ten you know send love to three people and bother you be quiet for five minutes sandy was going to hawaii with her sister and her mother the next day she got pads made for both of them and every morning they started to do that it changed every one of their lives we give that out now in a lot of our seminars and we train the audience to do it start every morning write 10 things that you're grateful for send love to three people to bother you be quiet for five minutes and ask for guidance for the day it's a winning form you see the beautiful truth is you've already got everything you need inside you don't have to get it you don't have to follow the pattern that our formal educational institutions teach us you don't have to read all the books that's unnecessary i think madame montessori put it very well she said we shouldn't send a child to school as if they're an empty cup and we expect them to fill the cup she's the truth is the cup's already full school is to help draw what's already there you see you and i are god's highest form of creation there's nothing on the planet that will even come close to us things you know you and i are the only creature on the planet that is totally disoriented in our environment all those other little creatures they're completely at home in their environment they blend in we don't we're totally disoriented and that is because we have the ability united of creating our own environment now think of what that means that means that you and i can literally create the life we want as i said when i first heard that i did not believe it but i knew the man that was giving me the advice believed it and that man was raymond douglas stanford one of my very first mentors have you ever spent any time wondering how does everything happen how does everything happen why does the night follow the day why doesn't the day follow the day in fact in some places it does but i spend a lot of time thinking about this in fact at times it almost drives me crazy but like right outside of my studio here is a japanese maple tree and there's times of the year it's absolutely beautiful in the spring of the year it has buds on and then the bud grown and leaves pop out and the leaves generally in the spring are a very deep greeny brown they're not a pretty looking leaf but then they start to change and over time you don't notice it happening just one day you look and it's a different color and by fall the leaves are crimson red they're most beautiful it is the most beautiful tree and it's right outside in my studio i'm sitting here in my desk and the camera's around me but out there is that tree and you know every fall the leaves turn red every spring they're greeny brown they're not greeny brown in the fall and red in the spring they're always red in the fall and greeny brown in the spring think about it did you ever wonder why the tide goes way out the tide comes way back in i spent some time in the navy in canada i was down on the east coast for a while and i was near the bay of fundy do you know the bay of fundy has one of the highest and lowest tides in the world it's absolutely amazing it goes way out and then comes way back in same up around prince george on the west coast you go onto a ship and you might be walking up a plank just right straight up and you go off the ship sometimes you're going right down that ship goes way up in the air and it comes way down very high very low tide now some place the tide's not very big they do have a tide but not too high not too low why is it so different one place than another you know why does the leaves change color why do they change color you know why does the grass keep growing wouldn't it be so much nicer if the grass just you know just stayed at a certain length you wouldn't have to cut it but it would always look pretty you know do you think about this do you know that everything in this universe happens in an exact way an exact way not by chance but in an exact way when john kennedy the president of the united states actually asked dr warner von braun who was the mastermind behind the space program we asked him what would it take to build a rocket that would carry a person to the moon and bring them back safely to earth von braun answered him in five words the will to do it that's it the will to do it he knew you didn't have to know how to do it he knew he had to learn how to do it but you didn't have to know to make up your mind you were going to do it now why did he say that because he understands the laws von braun one time said after years of studying the spectacular mysteries of the cosmos he was led into a firm belief in the existence of god and he said the natural laws of this universe are so precise that we don't even have any difficulty building spaceship we send people to the moon and we can time the landing with the precision of a fraction of a second now he said these laws must have been set by someone i see the laws as god's modus operandi but i'm going to tell you something everything happens by law when you and i get in harmony with the law now we do that odds are pretty good we should understand them but when we get in harmony with the law then i'm going to tell you it's just smooth sailing success happens [Music] probably be a good understand good idea to understand the laws wouldn't it think about it your life is governed by laws that are not man-made so they're not going to be man changed and if you study them and work in harmony with them i'm going to go shock yourself with the good you can do now i've been doing that for the last 58 years i'm starting to get a really a reasonable grip on them but i don't understand them as well as i want to or would like to but i'm going to study a little more today you know i get my trusty book out here i'll have to talk to you about this book that'll be another talk study the laws find out what they write what they're like what are the laws and then study them you'll win ever notice that some people seem to want to hang on to stuff that is bothering them they're forever talking about it they don't want to let it go they've had a a failure at something and it's dwelling they can't get over it they just can't get over it or somebody said something nasty to them they don't want to let it go do you know what we should do we should ask ourselves everything that happens is this serving me is this serving me and if it's not serving you get rid of it you don't want anything in your life that's not serving you that's not causing you to grow that's not adding to the quality of your life i don't care what it is you will sign some people they just hold on to bad stuff they hold on to problems they don't want to seem to let it go and that adds more problems whatever you focus on grows the only thing that can grow is the thing you give energy to why would you hold on to anything that's not serving you now i want you to think about this i'm not going to talk about a lot about this today because i don't think i have to i just want to let you know that if you're holding on to something that does not serve you you are making a terrible error it's going to cause all kinds of problems you may blame other people or other things you may blame the situation it's you are the cause of the problem the man that told me to pick up this book and read it ray stanford he had a saying he used to say to me bob you're the only problem you'll ever have and you're the only solution i think it might have taken me five years to understand that but i do understand it and you know something i am the only problem i'll ever have and i am the only solution don't hold on to anything that is not serving you reject it you know the beautiful part about having an inductive reasoning factor that's the part that chooses thoughts you can accept or reject the beautiful part of your mind you can accept or reject anything that comes into your world except to reject it it's a choice don't hold on to anything that is not serving you right now i'm standing in the middle of my library this is my favorite place you know earl langdale said if you surround your mind with greatness some of it's going to rub off well hopefully some of it is rubbed off on me i have maybe three or four thousand books here on the shelf they're all in alphabetical order uh by author they're all catalogued so i know where to find something just like that i go by authors more than the title of the book do you know that when i started studying these books i really didn't know very much about anything i had two months high school i was 26 years old i had a bad work record a bad attitude and virtually no experience and you know in a relatively short period of time my income went from four thousand to 175 000 a year then it went over a million i like there's a saying on all of your seminars on the tickets uh if you have to borrow money for this do it it may be the last time you're doing it listen when i when i read this i owed everybody i knew money but the guy that told me he said don't clean officer for somebody else do them for yourself and he told me where i could buy a used floor machine and some buckets and mops it was going to cost 980 i mean i didn't know anyone would lend me money because i never paid them back not that i didn't want to i just never had any money well i searched and searched and searched and i found a guy that lent me a thousand dollars so when somebody tells me they can't borrow money i know that they haven't tried i think anybody can borrow a thousand dollars somewhere and that's what i did and i turned it into a multi-million dollar organization i sat down one day with my pen in this business i said i'm going to build a company that operates all over the world we operate all over the world so if you have to borrow money borrow the money but get into the business actually do it although you cannot change conditions or circumstance you don't have to let them control you we can't control what's going on outside but we can control what's going on inside you know and unfortunately i don't think many of us have been raised to really understand that yeah and it's a lack of understanding that's causing all our problems we are the only creature on the planet that's totally disoriented in her environment all the little squirrels the birds every all the animals are completely at home in their environment they blend in you and i are totally disoriented in our environment we've been given the mental faculties to create our own environment however we go right through school we've never learned that we have higher faculties and the average person has no knowledge of how to operate with them how to develop them we have perception the will reason imagination memory and intuition now those mental faculties they're not just words they're actually mental faculties that we can use to take control over our world and to create the environment that we want but unfortunately we grow up we don't know that we've been raised to live through by what we see hear smell taste and touch our physical senses and we've been raised to be controlled by what's going on outside as little kids will you listen to what i'm telling you will you look at this you know and so it's all outside um we get our report card and that tells us what kind of student we are but it really tells us where our mind was at for a few minutes three weeks ago got nothing to do with who we are so i think we're we're raised in ignorance actually there's a very small percentage of the population that have a reasonably clear understanding of who they are and what they're capable of doing but the ones that do are in the minority the future must become the present in the imagination of the one who had wisely and consciously create circumstances i think right now everybody wants to create circumstances because they don't like the ones they find themselves in but you see you cannot change the circumstance you find yourself in you can only change your perception of them and when you do that you change the circumstance so we say here the future must become the present in the imagination of the one who would wisely and consciously create circumstance we must translate vision into being [Music] thinking of into thinking from imagination must center itself in some state and then view the world from that state see yourself where we want to be and then be there thinking from the end is an intense perception of the world of fulfilled desire that is so cool thinking from the end is an intense perception of the world of fulfilled desire so what are we doing we're building a goal and then we see ourself already having accomplished the goal thinking from the end is an intense perception of the world of fulfilled desire already got it i don't have to get it i've already got it that's an intense perception of the world of fulfilled desire in other words you got it it's here now think are you thinking from the end or you're thinking of the end if you're thinking of the end your thing is way out there if you're thinking from the end you're part of it see the end result has already happened in our mind we're creative beings we're god's highest form of creation we can create in our consciousness the kind of person we want to be and then be that person and that's what he said here we must translate vision into being so we don't just visualize it we be it i set a goal in 1973 i set a goal that i was going to build a company and upgrade all over the world i had left the night guild conak corporation and decided that i was going to do this because i didn't agree with the way they were doing it people weren't really learning it fast enough they wouldn't get involved in the repetition we were selling recordings but the recordings weren't working because the people didn't understand how to use them so i decided i would leave and start my own company and i wrote down i'd build a company and operate all over the world i got a call last night from mikey about nine o'clock something like that and then she told me that we were now in every country in the world now think of that we had a broadcast going on here at 10 o'clock this morning some of you'd be familiar with some of you may have been on it and that broadcast had attracted thousands literally thousands of people from every country in the world the goal was reached that move meant this is really accurate today we're only limited by weakness of attention and poverty of imagination well my imagination was pretty well exercised i don't have any difficulty building huge ideas in my mind and just figuring out how to do it now stay with me here the thing that's stopping you from taking the risk that you want to take is called a terror barrier the way i'm going to explain this to you i come up with sitting in a restaurant i remember it was at a holiday in restaurant it was at dixie and uh just south of the 401 highway in toronto a man asked me if i would meet with him he had a problem and i was going to show him how he could solve the problem and he explained it so i took a pen and some paper and what i'm going to show you here is essentially what i showed him now look at this for a moment there is the process you go through when you're in a risk-taking vibration you go from bondage to reason to the terror barrier and then to freedom you go from bondage to reason to the terror barrier and then to freedom you know in napoleon hill's book thing could grow rich he said now right here we come to a rather strange fact we tend to minimize the things we can do the goals we can accomplish and for some equally strange reason we think other people can accomplish things that we cannot and he points out that there's a difference between wishing for a thing and being ready to receive them said no one's ready for a thing until they believe that they can acquire it the state of mind must be belief and not mere hope or wish now he goes under consciousness and open-mindedness is essential to belief closed minds will not inspire faith courage orally i think reason is probably it's the one that's spoken about by almost all the great leaders yeah um the evolving complete unanimous agreement that we become what we think about it's our reasoning factor that enables us to think um ford says thinking's the hardest work there is which is the probable reason so few people engage in it dr ken mcfarland is gone for a long time now but he was a great educator down in kentucky he one time said two percent of the people think three percent think they think and 95 would actually rather die than things now you know that sounds cute but it's true if you stop and listen to what most people are saying it's going to be fairly obvious they're not thinking if you stand back and watch what most people are doing it's fairly obvious they're not thinking or they would never say or do what they're doing most people today have their television on the news and they're just soaking up all the stuff that's going on that's dominating the media right now so they've become a play thing for what's going on outside and that's why they're living in such fear by consuming the media of whether it's true or accurate or not true you're you're being manipulated yeah it's not a matter of whether it's true or not is this how you want to spend your life just listening to that um that doesn't mean you should deny it it doesn't mean that you should say well that's all false um i don't know whether it's true or false it's just bad news i don't want to be involved in it yeah am i aware that it's there well you'd almost have to be dead not to be aware that it's there but that doesn't mean you have to spend your time thinking on that i would much rather activate some of my creative faculties and do something that's constructive it's pretty well known today there's a lot of fear in the world people are wondering what's going to happen we've gone through many tough times if you study history i was born during the great depression so i was of an age then i remember some of the things as a little kid then we went into a world war and when the depression ended it was sort of like a theater where the lights were out it was empty but the lights started to come up and things started to get brighter and of course they became very bright so the fear don't let fear control you fear is a negative emotion by following these principles you're going to be on the other side of fear where there's faith there's a law of the universe called polarity that law decrees everything has an opposite every negative has a positive the truth is it's neither positive or negative it's our thinking that makes it so everything just is we can make it what we want make up your mind now you're going to go in the positive polarity you're going to stay with me because that's where i'm going and there'll be a very bright future let the fear go it isn't necessary the cause of it is ignorance the cause of all fear is ignorance if you want something you haven't got you got to create a space for it if it's in your own mind you've got to let go of something so what do we want to do to let go if we want to let go of the image we've got for the one we're going to build now i'm going to be honest with you when i started to do this i tested it just i thought i wonder if this really work and i found that it really worked so i went all out and you start out by writing the image that you want to hold i'll tell you how i did it i am i took various people that i really admired and i took some of the qualities that i really admired in them and i'd write them down i wasn't going to be like them but i was going to develop a couple of these qualities or habits when i was growing up as a young guy it was during the second world war there was no men around no fathers but one guy did have a father donny miller's father had was not well so he couldn't go to the war and donny's dad had a heart attack or something it was i think it was a heart attack and so we never went around his place because his dad wanted things quiet they'd come around our place but not donny's place i would watch donny's dad walk up and down the street you see him go way up the street later on you'd see him come back he was always well dressed and he had the calmest walk there was no rush just a very calm walk i visualized myself walking like him you'll very rarely ever see me rushing anywhere there's no need of it you can be calm so when i built my self-image i built it around certain things ray stanford always had money i told you earlier i don't know how to get into this thing now always have some money always now i hardly ever use it because i really don't pay for very much i get somebody in the company to order whatever i want but you see i never had any money ray always had a role on him he would have a role like that in his pocket all the time now there's about three thousand dollars here there's not a boat there is three thousand dollars here you see well i only earned four thousand dollars a year at that time three thousand dollars would have been a ton of money but everybody has different little quirks i like to carry money i and it's probably because i never had any and now i have some money i want to carry it but you see i started to do that before i had any money and i would take and i would put phony money in a roll but i would have the right thing on the outside it was the thickness of it my mind didn't know the difference i knew intellectually the difference and then shortly i didn't even pay any difference to that it was the feel of it i did different things i watched different people i saw how this person did this and somebody else did that i am i read a lot so i read a lot of great self-help books and i literally did what some of these books suggested it wasn't just sometimes i did it i would follow it right to a t um you'll very rarely see me without a suit on that's part of the paradigm that's part of the paradigm i don't care what anybody else does how they dress i'm always going to be dressed i am mentally made up my mind one time i'd be at least if it wasn't the best dress one of the best race people in the room why did i do that i did that because i was changing how i saw me how i saw me i had never gone to school i had no money i had dumb jobs and today along with sandy gallagher i have a company operates all over the world right here on my desk i have sitting this little hourglass well you know i can't put anything where that hourglass is until they get rid of it and we find that we want things to come into our life but we don't create room for them nature abhors a vacuum and i remember we were sitting in the living room having a cup of coffee and just visiting and she said do you mind if we go and sit in the kitchen unless none at all so so i asked her i said why do you want to sit in the kitchen rather than she says i can't stand that room i just hate living in that sitting in that room she says i hate those curtains that are on the window in the dining room and the drapes on the front window and i said no you don't hate those mark i said you only have attract things to you that you love that you're in harmony with i said if you really didn't love them you get rid of them but you say i'm going to put that i'm going to put them there if i get rid of them i said mark if you had something to put there you couldn't put it there because you've already got something there and i said that's when i started teaching the law of vacuum law prosperity certainly she went and got a chair and got up and stood on she started to take all these curtains down well done he was wearing like a stuffed peg he said what are you doing and she says i'm getting rid of these and she did wasn't too long after i dropped in all the furniture in the living room was gone it was like they were just moving into the place but then they got new curtains and then they got new furniture and you know everything in that business in that house changed wasn't too long they're only in business for themselves they're both gone now but when they left they were very well off they had a beautiful place in florida they'd go to a winter the family still runs their own business i mean it was it was such a beautiful thing to see and it was all and i tell the story in here because it was all about the vacuum law and prosperity well what have you got in your life that you don't want or that you don't like or what is it that you've got that you really want to get rid of you've got to get rid of this stuff get rid of it give it away see nature truly does abhor a vacuum when you make space for the good that you desire that's when the good's going to come most people don't make the space for the good that they desire you know the truth is your spiritual dna is perfect we hear a lot of talk about dna today well if you get past all the nonsense that's been programmed into our subconscious mind from genetics and in our environment and get right down to the core of who you really are your spiritual dna is perfect and it's that perfection that's seeking expression with and through us that's why we want things it doesn't matter what we're doing we want more now as a little boy i was taught by my grandmother who pretty well raised me that you should be satisfied with what you've got grandma was a dear woman she was like an angel of god but she was wrong we should never be satisfied with what we've got we should be happy with what we've got but never satisfied you see dissatisfaction is a creative state for our mind to move into it causes us to want to do more we should ask ourselves where those wants come from do you know it's that perfection within that keeps jabbing you in the consciousness want this want that if you're running you'll want to run faster if you're jumping you want to jump higher if you're selling you want to sell more if you're singing you want to sing a better tune it doesn't really matter what you're doing you want to do it better and the beautiful part of this is you can i'm going to share something with you that could change the course of your life could make everything so much better to do this to explain it properly i'm going to tell you a little story it goes way back 57 years a man gave me this book he said bob do exactly what i tell you and you can have anything you want now when he said that i was flat broke i had six thousand dollars in debt i was only earning four thousand dollars a year the prospects of thing getting better were pretty slim i had two months high school formal education i had absolutely no business experience i was not in a good spot but he said listen there are reasons why you can't win bob he said if you do what i tell you and study this book is you're going to figure out how you can now this is napoleon hill's book think and grow rich he spent his whole life studying 500 of the world's most successful individuals and he found there was a golden thread running through their life and that's what's in this book i've never stopped reading it i then found a condensed narration of the book by earl nightingale where earl took and he condensed the whole thing and he put it on a long playing record and i would listen to that and listen to it and listen to it in fact i had started my own company and i used to play the records to the sales people every morning well one morning it was very early just finished the salesman and just finished playing earl's record and i said at the end of the meeting i said man i'd really love to meet him one of the sales people said no you wouldn't he said what do you mean i wouldn't he said if you really wanted to meet him you'd go and meet him and i thought you know something you're right i got on the phone and i got an appointment with earl nigel now that wasn't an easy thing to do earl was the most listened to men in the history of the broadcasting industry at the time earl nightingale lloyd conant started the night galconi corporation who literally started the personal development business as we know it today in recorded fashion he was considered the dean of personal motivation there was probably a couple of million people that would have loved to sat down with him but i got the appointment at the end of the meeting i had a wonderful time there when i was leaving i said earl what is the big deal what is the real secret of light to making things happen well he said there isn't any secret to success bob he said it's a simple matter of figuring out what you absolutely love to do and then make a decision to dedicate your life to it then every day you're going to be doing what you love to do so the problem with most people is they never decide what they love to do and they don't make a decision to dedicate their life to anything they just go from one thing to the next people have regrets i mean if you want to go to nursing home and just feel that for a half for a minute if you're looking through their eyes you can see there's regret well most people do but most people don't do anything you see i often say how do you do something well there's where the goals come in that's where the purpose for life comes in you're going to have a main purpose you got to have a purpose for life and you've got to have meaningful goals they've got to be meaningful you're trading your life for it like i often say in a seminar i want you to imagine you're at the end of the road and you know you're at the end of the road your body's so weak they've got you tied in a wheelchair or they've got you in a crib bed so you don't follow kill yourself right just imagine all you can do is relive your life i want you to imagine you're there and you go back and think i wonder if we had a move there what would have happened if we hadn't started that company remember we're going to sell the house and start that company if we hadn't done this i wonder what would have happened and then cut if i could only do it over again i said wouldn't that be terrible spend the last days of your life like that wouldn't it be better if you look back and say wow what a trip gotta remember we did that remember we blew our brains out on that we lost everything we had but you know when you lose it big enough it can be accelerating and then we did this and what you're doing is laying there and you're reliving your whole life and that's the goal got to have the goal i've always asked how do you stay so young and i tell them i don't hang around to all people and i said that i think sort of as a joke one time but then i realized it was no joke it's the truth i i don't mix with anybody my age i'm 85 years old in july and so i was born in 1934 that's a long time ago and i don't go by age of anything i've become aware that age is it's a number and it has nothing to do with who we are what we're going to do when we clearly understand that our life will change you know the idea of 65 for retirement is pretty well accepted worldwide and it was accepted by otto von bismarck when he was chancellor at germany somebody said you know we should have an age where people can stop working the government just send them a check he said that's a hell of a good idea so he just arbitrarily picked 65. well a number of years later when they were going to do it in america they said is anybody doing that they said i think they're doing it in germany what age 65 and it's accepted 65 is age of retirement why would we want to retire at all see ivc retire as pulled back from life that's what it means why would we want to do that i never want to do it i never want to retire i think that would be a despicable thing to do when people go into forced retirement in nothing flat they're dead you see when i'm made for work work is made for us and when we clearly understand that um i think things start to change for us i um i think people should ask themselves how old would they be if they forgot their age if i forgot my age i think i'd be around 48 maybe not even 50. 47 48 maybe 46 i like the late 40s i think they're good years i think that's how old i'd be and i lived like that's where i am the idea of slowing down or that's just so foreign to my way of thinking i i don't i don't think that way and the idea of retirement it'll never happen to me um i'm going to go full tilt right until the show's over that's my attitude towards it i don't hang around all people most old people are old people and they talk about old things you know in their room and this thing all the time we ought to believe that we're creative beings and there's nowhere we haven't gone that we can't go so let's get up and get moving that's my attitude and age when president john kennedy asked the father of the space program the famous dr warner von braun what it would take to build a rocket that would carry a person in the moon and bring him back safely to earth he answered him in five words the will to do it the will to do it pretty light simple answer for such an enormous question but i'm going to tell you something the will to do it that had a lot of power in it what do we mean by that the will to do it well will is one of your higher faculties your perception reason memory imagination intuition and the will will is a mental faculty that gives you the ability to hold one idea on the screen of the mind to the exclusion of all outside distractions you know it would be you'd be hard-pressed to figure out how many things are trying to grab your attention at any given time but there's all kinds of things going on around that are begging your conscious attention you can block them all out and keep one idea on the screen of the mind with your will will is a mental faculty that gives you the ability to hold one idea on the screen of the mind to the exclusion of all outside distractions it's the will that gives you the ability to concentrate concentration is a powerful mental tool how do you develop your will i'll tell you you take your pen or a little black marker and go opposite to your favorite chair there's a wall opposite your favorite chair put a little dot on the wall do it when nobody sees you doing it and nobody will ever notice the dots there every time you sit in that favorite chair focus on that dot bring all of your conscious attention to bear on the dot now when you look at your mind will wander that's okay don't feel bad because it wonder bring it back to the dot every time it wanders if you if you concentrate on the on that dot for um a half a second you'll probably set a family record our mind is so busy you focus on the dot you find your mind wander don't feel bad bring it back to the dot you can get to the point where you can concentrate for quite a while and i'm telling you you concentrate for a while you're developing great powers or get a candle in a candle holder and put it somewhere around your favorite chair when you're alone light the candle and stare at the flame and stare at that flame until you mentally become one with the flame now again your mind's gonna wander don't feel bad about it bring it back to the flame just bring it back to the flame when you learn to concentrate on one thing you can concentrate on anything because that is how you develop your will opportunity is an interesting word and like most words it's misunderstood see the average person is looking at opportunity as something they're going to get so they're out looking to get something opportunity is what you're going to give see it's the person that's thinking of an idea how can i do more how can i provide more service for the people we provide service for do you know i spend almost all of my time thinking of how i can help you more than i'm helping you i'm here in my studio we spent a million dollars building a studio so that i can communicate more effectively with our clients opportunity is in giving it's not receiving it's not getting it's giving it's sharing it's putting something out there success is a funny word nightingale had a great definition for it he said a person's successful if they know where they are and they know where they're going and they're progressively moving in that direction he said that success was the progressive realization of a worthy ideal anyone that has a goal and they're moving towards it they're successful most people think that you're successful if you have a lot of money quite often you have a lot of money if you're successful but it isn't i wouldn't say mother teresa has a lot of money okay but she's a pretty successful lady attracting what you actually want i think james allen put it very well in his little book as a man thinketh he said you don't attract what you want you attract what you are now think about that if you want to attract what you want you've got to see yourself already with it you've got to understand that you've already got it first of all clearly understand this nothing is created or destroyed that means everything's already here if not in one state certainly in another where did the iphone come from the iphone came from a series of ideas that individuals entertained in their mind and they kept holding the idea until the stuff came to them that enabled them to build the phone the stuff had already been here nothing is created or destroyed all science all theology teach that if nothing's created or destroyed everything that is already here our problem is we've got to wait until we see it outside before we believe we've got it start dealing with the non-physical world with the invisible world with the world that you can't see through these little peepers that you've got here we call eyes start to see yourself mentally you've been given the faculties to do that use your imagination see yourself already in possession of the good you desire that will flip your mind onto a specific frequency and you do think on frequencies it's on that frequency that good you desire is going to start coming towards you and you will start moving toward it if you want to attract what you actually want you've got to see yourself now already with it and no it's only a period of time until you moving toward it and it moving toward you and you become one with it stop and think of any large company i don't care anyone right you can go to the leaders of that company and you can say who are your stars i mean the ones that are really making it happen and they've all got a few say what are they doing that's so different why don't you find out what they're doing and teach it to everybody they all well everybody couldn't do it why are they doing it you know something the stars don't know why they're stars and they'll say well they're smart some of them aren't very smart smart's got nothing to do with it they have shifted their paradigm they've knocked the wall down and they built an image and they followed the rules they just didn't know what they were doing i didn't know what i was doing i was there and over a million dollars a year i had no idea what the hell i was doing i'd say i was cleaning offices that was almost incidental what i was doing i was reading this every day i was listening to the recordings every day i was reprogramming my subconscious mind what keeps people stuck month after month year after year 90 some percent of the population are stuck you've got people graduating with all kinds of degrees and the results wouldn't indicate that they know very much at all most people don't understand what's going on inside there's something that's stopping them it's called a paradigm see when paradigms are in control nothing changes nothing and that's why most people they get the same results year after year people know how to do better than they're doing the problem is they don't know why they're not doing what they know how to do see it's the paradigm that produces the results and if we're going to change the result there's only one way to do it just one you're going to change the paradigm a man's environment is a merciless mirror of him as a human being and if he thinks his environment could stand a little improvement all he has to do is improve and his environment will improve to reflect the changing man all knowledge all power is a hundred percent evenly present in all places at the same time your spiritual dna is perfect so is mine there's perfection within what we've got to learn is draw it up now i've got a special bonus clip that i think you're going to enjoy but before that it's time for the question of the day i want to know what was your single biggest takeaway from this video and your plan of action for the next week when you watch a video and just get motivated the science says you have a 35 chance of actually following through on your goals that's not good enough no not for you believe nation we got to do something but when you write it down and you create a specific plan of action for the next week that number jumps to 91 chance of you following through and when you commit to somebody else like leaving a comment on this video it jumps to 95 you need to follow through on your goals so what was your single biggest takeaway from this video and your specific plan of action for the next week put it down in the comments below so i can celebrate you everybody wants to be happy but not everybody is happy you know i could take you back to the man that gave me this book ray stanford i was a very unhappy individual i was a sad soul believe me and i remember one day he said proctor you're going to have to change he said would you like to be happy well i used to think that was something that happened to some people but you weren't in control of it i really never knew that i could control my own happiness i did not know that and i'm going to tell you something there's a whole lot of people who do not know that otherwise you wouldn't find so many people who are pretty sad he says i'm going to tell you a secret proctor and he said if you get it you can benefit from this until you're a very old man he said you are in control of your own happiness now he said i'm going to tell you why you're not happy there's a power or a thought energy flowing into your consciousness and you know what you do you bottle it all up inside all of your energy's focused on you you are the only thing you think about poor me i wish i had some money i wished i wished i wish to wish but your thoughts are always about yourself if you find someone else to help if you can help someone and i'm going to tell you there's a whole lot of people out there want help if you will focus on helping other people you're going to be one happy cat now i don't think i got it right away but he knew probably i wasn't going to get it right away and so every time i saw him he said you've been helping well i wasn't helping anybody i was trying to figure out how to get some money how to help me i want you to think about this for a moment there's so many people need help chapter 14 in the science of getting rich is a powerful concept leave everyone with the impression of increase if you do that you're helping people happiness is always found in the person who is focusing on helping other people if you want some amazing john assaraf motivation check out the video right there next to me i think you'll love it continue to believe and i'll see you there setting goals is an intellectual and imagined exercise that your conscious brain right i'm going to show you one of the little brains today from the city here on my desk your
