- 0:02Speaker 1: Neglect starts as an infection, and if you don't take
- 0:05Speaker 1: care of it, it becomes a disease. And one neglect leads
- 0:09Speaker 1: to another. And the worst of all, when neglect starts,
- 0:14Speaker 1: it diminishes our self worth, our self confidence, our self value.
- 0:18Speaker 2: If you're holding onto something that does not serve you, you
- 0:22Speaker 2: are making a terrible error. It's going to cause all
- 0:25Speaker 2: kinds of problems. You may blame other people or other things.
- 0:28Speaker 2: You may blame the situation. Ah, it's you are the
- 0:31Speaker 2: cause of the problem. Demand that told me to pick
- 0:35Speaker 2: up this book and read it. Ray Stanford, he had
- 0:38Speaker 2: to say. He used to say to me, Bob, You're
- 0:41Speaker 2: the only problem you'll ever have, and you're the only solution.
- 0:45Speaker 2: I think it might have taken me five years to
- 0:46Speaker 2: understand that, but I do understand it. And you know something,
- 0:51Speaker 2: I am the only problem I'll ever have, and I
- 0:53Speaker 2: am the only solution. Don't hold on to anything that
- 0:57Speaker 2: is not serving you rejecting. Do you know the beautiful
- 1:01Speaker 2: part about having an inductive reasoning factor, that's the part
- 1:04Speaker 2: that chooses such You can accept or reject the beautiful
- 1:08Speaker 2: part of your mind.
- 1:09Speaker 3: You can accept or.
- 1:09Speaker 2: Rejected anything that comes into your world, accept or rejective.
- 1:13Speaker 4: It's a choice.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Don't hold on anything that is not serving you.
- 1:17Speaker 5: If we play the victim role, then we are using
- 1:21Speaker 5: our personal power to be helpless. If we decide to
- 1:25Speaker 5: accept responsibility, then we don't waste time blaming somebody or
- 1:31Speaker 5: something out there. Some people feel guilty for creating illness
- 1:37Speaker 5: or poverty or problems. They choose to interpret responsibility as guilt,
- 1:43Speaker 5: and some members of the media like to refer to
- 1:46Speaker 5: it as New Age guilt. These people often feel guilty
- 1:50Speaker 5: because they believe that they have failed in some way. However,
- 1:55Speaker 5: they usually accept everything as a guilt trip in one
- 1:58Speaker 5: way or another, because it's another way to make themselves wrong.
- 2:03Speaker 5: And that is not what I'm talking about. If we
- 2:06Speaker 5: can use our problems and illnesses as opportunities to think
- 2:11Speaker 5: about how we can change our lives, we have power.
- 2:16Speaker 6: See the way in which we operate, Ladies and gentlemen.
- 2:19Speaker 6: It's a manifestation of what we believe what's possible for us.
- 2:23Speaker 6: Whatever you've done up to this point, all that it
- 2:26Speaker 6: really is is a duplication. It's a reproduction of what
- 2:30Speaker 6: you believe subconsciously that you deserve and what's possible for
- 2:34Speaker 6: your life. Most people operate out of their personal history,
- 2:38Speaker 6: out of their memory. Things have done, things, have experienced, things,
- 2:41Speaker 6: They've seen, things that they have observed.
- 2:45Speaker 2: What I'm suggesting that.
- 2:46Speaker 6: You operate out of a larger vision of yourself. I
- 2:48Speaker 6: want you to see yourself doing what you want to do,
- 2:51Speaker 6: experiencing what you want, experiencing having what you want to have,
- 2:55Speaker 6: doing what is that gives your life the meaning of value.
- 2:59Speaker 6: Operate out of your imagination, not your memory. Because whatever
- 3:02Speaker 6: you look at where you want to go. I'm wanting
- 3:04Speaker 6: to warn you you will have some conversation back here
- 3:08Speaker 6: after you go through the data that you've experienced in life,
- 3:11Speaker 6: saying you can't do it. And so what you want
- 3:14Speaker 6: to begin to do is ignore that inner conversation.
- 3:17Speaker 7: Your biggest strength in life will be the perception that
- 3:20Speaker 7: you have over yourself. How do you feel about yourself?
- 3:25Speaker 7: Your self worth? What is that?
- 3:27Speaker 4: See?
- 3:28Speaker 1: Confidence is the.
- 3:29Speaker 7: Greatest asset you could ever have, and that is built
- 3:33Speaker 7: based on experience, based on the living.
- 3:38Speaker 8: You have some narrative in your mind that is so
- 3:41Speaker 8: negative that when you look in the mirror, you see
- 3:44Speaker 8: somebody worth trashing. You see what's wrong? You pick apart
- 3:49Speaker 8: your appearance, and I want to reverse that because here's
- 3:52Speaker 8: the deal about self confidence. Self confidence begins with you. You
- 3:58Speaker 8: realize the word.
- 3:59Speaker 9: Self is in there.
- 4:00Speaker 6: Right.
- 4:01Speaker 8: I can't give you confidence. I didn't give you a
- 4:04Speaker 8: little boost. I can give you tools, I can encourage you.
- 4:10Speaker 8: But confidence is forged in fire. It's something that's within you.
- 4:16Speaker 8: And here's the thing I want you to realize about confidence.
- 4:20Speaker 8: You are a confident person. That's why you miss feeling
- 4:23Speaker 8: that way. You can only miss what you know. You've
- 4:27Speaker 8: just been blocked from the feeling of it. And wherever
- 4:31Speaker 8: you are right now in your life, I'm telling you,
- 4:34Speaker 8: confidence is in there. You just got to figure out
- 4:36Speaker 8: how to tap into it.
- 4:38Speaker 3: We're so familiar with ourselves. We tend to take ourselves
- 4:41Speaker 3: for granted. We tend to minimize the things we can accomplish,
- 4:44Speaker 3: the goals we can reach, and for some equally strange reason,
- 4:48Speaker 3: believe others can accomplish things in our field which we cannot.
- 4:51Speaker 3: There are literally millions of human beings living narrow, darkened,
- 4:55Speaker 3: frustrated lives, living defensively simply because they take a deffi
- 5:00Speaker 3: sae doubtful attitude toward themselves and as a result toward
- 5:03Speaker 3: life in general. Many people are suspicious of and opposed change.
- 5:08Speaker 3: Yet change is the one thing in life on which
- 5:10Speaker 3: we can absolutely count. People who stay young all the
- 5:14Speaker 3: years of their lives not only welcome change, but see
- 5:17Speaker 3: it for what it really is, new opportunity, new chances
- 5:20Speaker 3: for further fulfillment. Attitude is a reflection a result of
- 5:25Speaker 3: a person's will. It is incalculably powerful. It can bring
- 5:29Speaker 3: about marvelous results for us, but we need to train
- 5:32Speaker 3: it patiently, day by day. Now, let's talk about the
- 5:36Speaker 3: attitudes of people who are successful, the top five percent
- 5:40Speaker 3: of the people who go sailing through life from one
- 5:42Speaker 3: success to another, and who, even when they fail at something,
- 5:45Speaker 3: shrug it off and head right out again, no matter
- 5:48Speaker 3: who the person is or what he does. Men and
- 5:51Speaker 3: women in sales, business executives, people in all the professions,
- 5:55Speaker 3: wives and mothers, students, top people in the armed forces,
- 5:59Speaker 3: public servants, men and women in the service of religion,
- 6:02Speaker 3: working men and women in all fields of endeavor. Wherever
- 6:05Speaker 3: you find a person doing an outstanding job and getting
- 6:08Speaker 3: outstanding results, you will find a person with the right
- 6:12Speaker 3: kind of attitude. These people take the attitude toward themselves,
- 6:15Speaker 3: that they can accomplish what they set out to accomplish,
- 6:18Speaker 3: that there's no good reason on earth why they can't
- 6:20Speaker 3: be competent successful. They have a healthy attitude toward themselves
- 6:24Speaker 3: and as a result, toward life and the things they
- 6:26Speaker 3: want to accomplish. And because of this they achieve some
- 6:30Speaker 3: remarkable things, and they come to be called successful, outstanding, brilliant, lucky,
- 6:36Speaker 3: and a lot of other things. They're quite frequently no
- 6:38Speaker 3: more brilliant or outstanding than the majority of the people
- 6:41Speaker 3: by whom they're surrounded. But they did develop the right attitude,
- 6:45Speaker 3: and they found their accomplishments not too difficult and many
- 6:48Speaker 3: times surprisingly easy, simply because it seems that so few
- 6:52Speaker 3: are really trying, really believe in themselves. Successful people expect
- 6:56Speaker 3: more good out of life than bad. They expect to
- 6:59Speaker 3: succeed more than they fail. Nothing else will work for
- 7:04Speaker 3: you until you recognize that you are the creator of
- 7:07Speaker 3: your own life, and that no one else is to
- 7:10Speaker 3: blame for your circumstances. Call it karma if you will.
- 7:15Speaker 3: You may not believe in the concept, but all successful
- 7:18Speaker 3: people know it to be true in some way or another.
- 7:22Speaker 3: No one can change himself until he realizes that he
- 7:24Speaker 3: is the one creating himself, and that his self image
- 7:27Speaker 3: is not fixed in stone, but constantly changing. Why is
- 7:32Speaker 3: it that one day you can feel happy and confident
- 7:35Speaker 3: and the next day feel sad and depressed. Most people
- 7:40Speaker 3: will say it's because of what is happening to them
- 7:42Speaker 3: that causes their fluctuations in mood. But this is giving
- 7:46Speaker 3: power to the outside world, which is actually completely powerless
- 7:50Speaker 3: to affect your inside world of thoughts and emotions unless
- 7:55Speaker 3: you give it full permission to do so. Owning full
- 7:59Speaker 3: responsibility for one's thoughts and emotions is not a common
- 8:03Speaker 3: choice in this world. It's much more comfortable to believe
- 8:07Speaker 3: that something else is causing them because it takes away
- 8:10Speaker 3: the pressure of personal responsibility. Why own your experience of
- 8:14Speaker 3: life when you can just sit back and blame everyone
- 8:17Speaker 3: else for it. Well, you have the freedom to choose,
- 8:20Speaker 3: but I strongly suggest that you choose more wisely from
- 8:23Speaker 3: now on and begin to choose a path of personal
- 8:26Speaker 3: growth rather than one of stagnation or decline. I challenge
- 8:31Speaker 3: you to re own your power. From this day forward,
- 8:35Speaker 3: you will begin to break the chains of your own making.
- 8:39Speaker 3: No longer will you wallow in sadness or self pity.
- 8:44Speaker 3: No longer will you blame someone or something else for
- 8:47Speaker 3: your misfortune. You will awaken to your power of self
- 8:50Speaker 3: direction and control. You will choose better than you have
- 8:54Speaker 3: in the past, and make new habits of thought, feeling
- 8:57Speaker 3: an action that lead you to the life of your
- 8:59Speaker 3: life dream. It is often in the darkest times that
- 9:03Speaker 3: people find the light, because the darkness motivates us to
- 9:06Speaker 3: find a way out of it. Whatever you are going
- 9:09Speaker 3: through right now, I encourage you to think of all
- 9:12Speaker 3: of it as good. The negative experiences in life challenge
- 9:16Speaker 3: us to be better and do better. It has led
- 9:18Speaker 3: you right here, which is a wonderful thing. Feel grateful
- 9:24Speaker 3: for your challenges because they guide you to exactly where
- 9:27Speaker 3: you need to be. If you want to have a
- 9:29Speaker 3: good life, then you have to practice seeing everyone and
- 9:33Speaker 3: everything as inherently good. How can you be happy when
- 9:37Speaker 3: your thoughts are anything less than pleasant? You can't.
- 9:41Speaker 9: Happiness is a choice and a habit. You may see
- 9:44Speaker 9: the world right now in a very gloomy or disempowering way,
- 9:49Speaker 9: but it is simply a habit, and habits can be
- 9:52Speaker 9: changed at any moment. You can choose to see things
- 9:56Speaker 9: differently You can choose to stop judging that person or
- 9:59Speaker 9: city situation and start accepting it for what it is.
- 10:04Speaker 9: You can choose to love the people who hate you.
- 10:07Speaker 9: You can choose peace rather than argument. It is all
- 10:10Speaker 9: a choice. We all walk around with different colored lenses on.
- 10:16Speaker 9: One person walks around with gray lenses and says, look,
- 10:20Speaker 9: how sad everything is gray? While another person walks around
- 10:24Speaker 9: with blue lenses and says, look how beautiful everything is blue.
- 10:30Speaker 9: Who is right and who is wrong? And who is
- 10:33Speaker 9: to say? The world is of your own making. If
- 10:36Speaker 9: you are unhappy in your life, it is only because
- 10:40Speaker 9: you have been habitually perceiving life in an unhappy way.
- 10:44Speaker 9: All it takes to turn things around is to re
- 10:46Speaker 9: own your power of decision, snap yourself out of autopilot mode,
- 10:51Speaker 9: and start bringing conscious attention to your thoughts and feelings.
- 10:54Speaker 9: They are not set in stone. How you see and
- 10:58Speaker 9: experience things are changeable, not according to what happens outside
- 11:02Speaker 9: of you, but according to what you choose to experience
- 11:05Speaker 9: within yourself.
- 11:07Speaker 4: The most enjoyable moments are the ones where we are
- 11:10Speaker 4: fully immersed in what we are doing, When we are
- 11:13Speaker 4: intently focused on one single thing. Is when we experience
- 11:17Speaker 4: peace of mind, in other words, no thought. Since the
- 11:22Speaker 4: act of thinking is responsible for much unhappiness and suffering
- 11:27Speaker 4: in the world, it would be worthwhile to transcend thought altogether.
- 11:32Speaker 4: Without thought, there is only peace and pure bliss. Most
- 11:36Speaker 4: people can't imagine what it would be like to not think.
- 11:41Speaker 4: Thinking is the human condition, but it can be a
- 11:44Speaker 4: blessing or a curse. Thinking is actually not necessary in
- 11:50Speaker 4: many cases. There lies an incredible intelligence in our bodies
- 11:54Speaker 4: that has the ability to guide us through life successfully.
- 11:57Speaker 4: More successfully, in fact, than if we were to think
- 12:00Speaker 4: our way through life. Thinking clouds are instinct and intuition
- 12:05Speaker 4: and can actually inhibit our progress. When we are completely
- 12:09Speaker 4: free of thought and in the present moment, we can
- 12:13Speaker 4: make decisions with ease and experience happiness in everything we do.
- 12:18Speaker 4: Even the simplest of things can bring you immense joy
- 12:23Speaker 4: when you experience them as they are. That is to say,
- 12:27Speaker 4: experience them without judging or labeling them in any way.
- 12:33Speaker 4: You've experienced this state of no thought before, think back
- 12:38Speaker 4: to some of the best moments of your entire life.
- 12:40Speaker 4: It's very likely that those moments were spent in a
- 12:44Speaker 4: state of no thought, and that's exactly why those moments
- 12:47Speaker 4: were so enjoyable. There are a variety of ways that
- 12:52Speaker 4: you can get into the present moment and experience no thought,
- 12:57Speaker 4: But the easiest of them all is to simply do
- 13:00Speaker 4: the activity that brings you the most joy. Perhaps it's
- 13:04Speaker 4: playing a musical instrument, reading, hiking outdoors, or spending time
- 13:09Speaker 4: with your children. Whatever it is that you thoroughly enjoy,
- 13:12Speaker 4: you should do more of it. Immerse yourself in the
- 13:15Speaker 4: activities that get you out of your head and into
- 13:17Speaker 4: the present moment, because those activities serve a great purpose.
- 13:21Speaker 4: They serve the purpose of allowing you to realize your
- 13:24Speaker 4: true nature and showing you that joy and happiness is
- 13:28Speaker 4: your natural state beneath all the layers of thought you
- 13:32Speaker 4: have accumulated over the years. While these activities may seem
- 13:37Speaker 4: like only temporary relief from your pain, they actually allow
- 13:41Speaker 4: you to evolve and heal your pain. When you find
- 13:43Speaker 4: your bliss and immerse yourself in it, you are one
- 13:46Speaker 4: step closer to realizing that happiness is always available to you.
- 13:50Speaker 4: The more bliss you experience, the easier it is to
- 13:53Speaker 4: find it again. Eventually, you will be able to feel
- 13:57Speaker 4: happy at your own choosing circumstances do more of what
- 14:03Speaker 4: you love to do, and you will experience more happiness
- 14:07Speaker 4: and have more love to give to others. Many people
- 14:10Speaker 4: who seem cold and withdrawn from the world are people
- 14:13Speaker 4: who feel as if they have little to live for.
- 14:17Speaker 4: If they only discovered their passion and lost themselves an
- 14:20Speaker 4: artistic expression of that passion, they would have more to
- 14:23Speaker 4: live for than they could now imagine. Doing what you
- 14:26Speaker 4: love and what makes you happy is not selfish. It
- 14:30Speaker 4: is one of the most generous things you could do
- 14:32Speaker 4: for others. Only when your cup is full can you
- 14:35Speaker 4: give anything away. Find your bliss so that others may
- 14:39Speaker 4: be inspired to do the same.
