  Speaker 1: Although you cannot change conditions or circumstance, you don't have
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: to let them control you. We can't control what's going
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: on outside, but we can control what's going on inside,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: you know. And unfortunately, I don't think many of us
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: have been raised to really understand that.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: And if you've got a program that's not supporting you
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: the ninety five percent of the day, your behavior will
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: not support you because that program doesn't encourage you.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: If something outside of you is controlling your feelings and thoughts,
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: then it makes you a victim to your environment. So
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: then so you will be more victimized, or more you
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: could be more of a victim to other things in
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: your environment. People don't understand this consciously because it's a
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: program subconsciously.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: So so now if you begin to strengthen your inner environment,
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Now this is where our work comes in because we
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: have research to show that when you place your attention
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: right here in your heart, this center right here, this
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: is the beginning of our divinity.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: This is our center of oneness, our wholeness.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: This is where we begin to feel love, gratitude, compassion, kindness, care, freedom, joy.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: It's all these elevated emotions that are heartfelt emotion.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: A positive mental attitude is a generally constructive response to
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the stresses that face the average person every single day.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: A positive attitude is where you feel that you have
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: the ability to control your world, to control your life.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: A positive attitude is like a chicken and egg thing.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: If you're successful, you're positive. If you're positive, you're successful.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Which comes first, It doesn't really matter. But we know
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: this is that positive thinkers are men and women who
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: accomplish an awful lot more than people who have negative
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: mental attitudes. In fact, we've come to the conclusion that
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: positive thinking is really mental health and negative thinking is
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: really mental illness. Now, if you look at the spectrum
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: of people from the unhealthiest to the healthiest mentally, you'll
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: find that the very tart you have the happiest, people
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: with the higher self esteem, who are the most positive
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: and out good. At the very botom you have the
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: most negative and pessimistic, people who often require drugs and hospitalization.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: And your job is to develop a positive mental attitude.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Your job is to become thoroughly positive and constructive towards
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: yourself and your possibilities and the world around you and
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the people in your life.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: There's always going to be ups and downs in life.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: Learn there's always going to be bumps in the road,
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: things that ain't going to go as planned, Unexpected stuff's
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: going to happen. You're going to face some pain, You're
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: going to face some tough times, and if you ain't
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: trained your mind to be prepared for it and how
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: to handle it, it's going to break you. The secret
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: is to work on your mindset daily, work on the
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: way that you see the world. Otherwise you'll live your
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: whole life seeing the world through someone else's eyes. You'll
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: be a creature of circumstance. You'll be a victim of
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: your life and not the master of it.
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: Most people who use their imagination they use it the
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: wrong way. They imagine what won't work, The imagine something
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: bad happening.
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: What should we imagine more often? Every day?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: We should imagine.
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: You should see yourself where you want to be.
• 3:22
  Speaker 8: You've got to live there.
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: Well, when you reach your goal, you're going to act
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: like you're already there. It's already happened intellectually the second
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: you think about it. It's already happened emotionally when you're
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: emotionally involved with it. So it's only a period of
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: time manifest the physical form. Because it's not in physical farm,
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: we act like we haven't got it yet. Yeah, well,
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: so that's why most people stay stuck, because they're acting
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: like they haven't got it yet. Before you can do something,
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: verse must be something. So you've got to be it intellectually,
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: you've got to be it emotionally. Let's say, Salmon says,
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: as a person thinks in their heart, the emotional mind,
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: So we cause it all to happen the way we
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: think and the way we stay locked into ideas.
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: No one knows enough to be a pessimist about anything,
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: and that each and every one of us, when we
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: close our mind to what is possible for us or
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: what is possible for humanity, closes off the genius that
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: resides and lives in each and every one of us.
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: Having an open mind doesn't necessarily mean finding fault with
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: all of the things that you've been taught by others.
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: It means opening yourself up to the potentiality and the
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: possibility that anything and everything is possible.
• 4:44
  Speaker 9: So your forebrain is the builder, it's the designer, it's
• 4:49
  Speaker 9: the CEO. And when you begin to speculate possibilities, when
• 4:53
  Speaker 9: you start to think about a better way to do something,
• 4:56
  Speaker 9: or something you want to experience, or something you want
• 4:58
  Speaker 9: to do, or some future ev It's an amazing phenomenon
• 5:02
  Speaker 9: because the researchers are beginning to show that not only
• 5:05
  Speaker 9: do we remember a past, but the brain actually can
• 5:09
  Speaker 9: remember a future. And so how does it do that Well,
• 5:12
  Speaker 9: because the forebrain has connections to all other parts of
• 5:15
  Speaker 9: the brain, it can take a little bit of that
• 5:18
  Speaker 9: knowledge from a specific neural network and a little bit
• 5:21
  Speaker 9: of experience, and another neural network of knowledge and another
• 5:25
  Speaker 9: neural network of experience, and it can seamlessly piece it
• 5:28
  Speaker 9: together to create a new level of mind. And then
• 5:31
  Speaker 9: your brain gets a picture on an image, and then
• 5:34
  Speaker 9: you've transfixed your mind on that image, and those neurons
• 5:37
  Speaker 9: string into place that begin to fire and wire together.
• 5:41
  Speaker 9: And every time you remind yourself what you want to experience,
• 5:45
  Speaker 9: you're reinforcing the circuitry in your brain to begin to
• 5:48
  Speaker 9: install the hardware for you to actually experience that future event.
• 5:52
  Speaker 9: In other words, the brain already looks like it's already
• 5:55
  Speaker 9: had the event. Now that's super cool because it really
• 5:57
  Speaker 9: says then that we're remembering a future potential.
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: Corollary of the law of cause and effect is the
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: law of attraction. This is one of the most important
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: of all mental laws in explaining what happens to you.
• 6:20
  Speaker 8: This law says that like attracts like. It says that
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: you inevitably attract into your life the people, ideas, circumstances,
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: and opportunities that are in harmony with your dominant thoughts.
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: Because this is a law, you cannot think one thing
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: and attract something else. Whatever you are thinking about most
• 6:40
  Speaker 8: of the time, you're drawing into your life from all directions.
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: This is why fuzzy goals bring fuzzy results. Clear goals
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: bring clear results. Because your level of self confidence is
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: directly tied to how effective you feel you are in
• 6:54
  Speaker 8: achieving your goals, it is very important that you know
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: exactly what it is you want and that you think
• 6:59
  Speaker 8: of nothing else. Another mental law, also a corollary of
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: the law of cause and effect, is the law of correspondence.
• 7:09
  Speaker 8: This law says that your outer world tends to correspond
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: to your inner world. Your outer world of health, wealth,
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: and relationships will be a reflection of the way you
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: think about each of these subjects. There's a saying that
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: thoughts held in mind produce after their kind. Your thoughts
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: and goals are like seeds, and your mind is like
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: fertile soil. Whatever seeds, positive or negative, clear or unclear,
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: you are planting into your mind will grow in your reality.
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: Whatever you are reaping or experiencing today is the result
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: of what you have sown in the past. Since your
• 7:52
  Speaker 8: mind is not a vacuum, it doesn't remain empty like
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: a garden, either flowers or weeds will grow. Your thoughts
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: are the most powerful forces in your universe. They are
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: both creative and causative. Every minute of every day, they
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: are forming the world around you. As Shakespeare said, nothing
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: is but thinking makes it so. Your life is what
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: your thoughts make it. Another principle that affects your life
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: is called the law of concentration. This is an important
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: principle in determining the development and maintenance of your self confidence.
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: The law of concentration, as mentioned earlier, says that whatever
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: you dwell on continually grows in your reality. Thinking about
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: a subject dwelling on it continually is like watering and
• 8:41
  Speaker 8: fertilizing a seed. Concentration causes it to grow faster in
• 8:45
  Speaker 8: your experience. The more you dwell on any goal or subject,
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: the more of your mental capacities are dedicated to making
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: that goal or subject a reality. The law of concentration
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: explains why unwavering dedication to a single purpose goes hand
• 8:59
  Speaker 8: in hand with all great accomplishment. The ability to concentrate
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: without diversion on a single subject to the exclusion of
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: all others explains why ordinary people achieve extraordinary things. Peter
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: Drucker once said that whenever you find something getting done,
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: you find a monomaniac with a mission. Because of this
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: mental law, when an average individual with average capabilities brings
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: all of his or her mental powers to bear on
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: the achievement of a single goal, often far more can
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: be accomplished than a seemingly more fortunate person whose energies
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: are dispersed by having several goals at once, or, as
• 9:40
  Speaker 8: quite commonly happens, no goals at all. The law of
• 9:44
  Speaker 8: substitution states that your conscious mind can only hold one
• 9:48
  Speaker 8: thought at a time, positive or negative. Whatever thought is
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: held continuously in your conscious mind will eventually be accepted
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: by your subconscious mind as an instruction or command. Your
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: subconscious mind, in harmony with these other mental laws, will
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: go to work twenty four hours per day to bring
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: your dominant thought or idea into reality. Your subconscious mind
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: is inordinately powerful. It is the repository of all your emotions, beliefs, values, attitudes,
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: and feelings. All your thoughts and feelings throughout life are
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: stored in your subconscious The development of the unshakable self
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: confidence that you desire requires that you step up to
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: your mental computer and take every step necessary to program
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: self confidence deep into your subconscious mind. Your self confidence
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: is closely connected to your self esteem and to how
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: much you like yourself. Doctor Nathaniel Brandon calls self esteem
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: your reputation with yourself. It is how you feel about
• 10:55
  Speaker 8: yourself and your abilities in relation to any situation. Suation
• 11:00
  Speaker 8: that determines how much you like yourself and consider yourself
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: to be a valuable and worthwhile person. The more you
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: like yourself, the better you do. The flip side of
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: self esteem is what psychologists call self efficacy. Self efficacy
• 11:17
  Speaker 8: is a measure of how effective and competent you feel
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: you are to perform a particular task or to achieve
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: your goals. This is called performance based self esteem. What
• 11:30
  Speaker 8: this means is that if your self confidence and your
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: belief in yourself are determined by your self esteem, or
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: how much you like yourself is determined by how capable
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: you feel you are in any given set of circumstances.
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: For example, if a problem comes up at worker home
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: and you are so familiar with it that you can
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: solve it quickly and correctly, your self efficacy and your
• 11:53
  Speaker 8: self esteem go up. You feel more capable and confident
• 11:56
  Speaker 8: and more willing to take on other challenges and difficulties.
• 11:59
  Speaker 8: You feel more positive and optimistic. You feel like an
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: excellent person. If, on the other hand, a problem or
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: difficulty came up and you were unable to do anything
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: to solve it, and you felt frustrated or ineffective, yourself
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: esteam would suffer and yourself confidence would go down. You
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: would feel negative about yourself and your abilities. You might
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: even become angry or depressed. You would feel powerless rather
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: than powerful. That's why they say in playing poker, the
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: winners laugh and tell jokes, while the losers say, shut
• 12:32
  Speaker 8: up and deal. The law of cause and effect applies
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: to everything you are today and to everything that you become.
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: If the effect that you desire is high and unshakable,
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: levels of self confidence. Then it is necessary that you
• 12:48
  Speaker 8: engage in the same behaviors practiced by others who enjoy
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: high and unshakable levels of self confidence, and you will
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: soon experience high levels of self confidence yourself. Studies conducted
• 13:01
  Speaker 8: on thousands of men and women who have moved from
• 13:04
  Speaker 8: ordinary to extraordinary performance and who have moved from feelings
• 13:09
  Speaker 8: of inadequacy to feeling great about themselves show that there
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: is a direct cause effect relationship between competence and mastery
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: on the one hand, and self confidence on the other.
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: To attain this wonderful, healthy feeling of optimal performance, you
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: need clear goals, challenging standards, regular feedback, total concentration, step
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: by step success, and a feeling that you are expanding
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: your capabilities to a new higher level. When you have
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: created situation in which you experience all of these, you
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: sense that you are working at the outer edge of
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: your own personal envelope. You feel that you are getting
• 13:54
  Speaker 8: progressively better and better at something you are ideally suited
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: to do, and that, while you are still worth working
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: within the range of your capabilities, you are stretching yourself
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: at every moment. When you are caught up in this
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: kind of experience. You often lose track of time, You
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: become unaware of hunger, thirst, or fatigue. You feel calm
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: and clear headed, and euphoric tests show when you are
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: in this state of flow, your brain releases endorphins, nature's
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: happy drug, which causes you to feel happy and energized. Often,
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: while you are in this state, the rest of the
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: world seems to slow down.
