hi this is Eyvette from my world of metaphysics always bringing you law of
attraction metaphysical lessons that you can easily understand so don't forget to
Like Subscribe and tap that Bell today I'm bringing you another classical law
of attraction metaphysical book and this is by Earl Nightingale and it is called
The Magic Word so watch this video all the way to the end and listen I'm sure
it will change your life hello this is Earl Nightingale and this recording the
magic word is the first of 12 you'll receive in this series titled how you
can lead the field in the modern world before we start I'd like you to know
that I'm not going to try to tell you how to live your life that's none of my
business nor is it anybody else's business
that's your business nor is this lead the field program a collection of
pleasantries platitudes of Pollyanna it is a summation of more than twenty years
of research on one subject and that is why do some people do so well in life
while so many more do not and the first thing let's talk about is the magic word
the experts call it the most important word as far as the results we get from
life are concerned in this or any other language and that word is attitude it is
our attitude toward life which will determine life's attitude toward us
let's face the fact honestly that we shape our own lives and the shapes of
them will be determined by our attitudes a person with a poor attitude toward
learning for example isn't going to learn much until he changes his attitude
if we take the attitude that we cannot do something we generally will not do it
an attitude of failure and were whipped before we start so we know then that
what we receive from life what we accomplish or fail to accomplish is due
in large measure to our overall attitude William James of Harvard University put
it this way the greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can
alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind and isn't it wonderful
that we have this measure of control before we start
talking about our attitude toward the world let's talk about our attitude
toward ourselves since it is the attitude we take toward ourselves which
determines our attitude toward the world now right here we come to a rather
strange fact we're so familiar with ourselves we tend to take ourselves for
granted we tend to minimize the things we can accomplish the goals we can reach
and for some equally strange reason believe others can accomplish things in
our field which we cannot there are literally millions of human beings
living narrow darkened frustrated lives living defensively simply because they
take a defensive doubtful attitude toward themselves and as a result toward
life in general many people are suspicious of and oppose change yet
change is the one thing in life on which we can absolutely count people who stay
young all the years of their lives not only welcome change but see it for what
it really is new opportunity new chances for further fulfillment attitude is a
reflection a result of a person's will it is incalculably powerful it can bring
about marvelous results for us but we need to train it patiently day by day
now let's talk about the attitudes of people who are successful the top 5% of
the people who go sailing through life from one success to another and who even
when they fail at something shrug it off and head right out again no matter who
the person is or what he does men and women in sales business executives
people in all the professions wives and mothers students top people in the Armed
Forces public servants men and women in the service of religion working men and
women in all fields of endeavor wherever you find a person doing an outstanding
job and getting outstanding results you will find a person with the right kind
of attitude these people take the attitude toward themselves that they can
accomplish what they set out to accomplish that there's no good reason
on earth why they can't be competent successful they have a healthy attitude
toward themselves and as a result toward life and the things they want to
accomplish and because of this they achieve some remarkable things and they
come to be called successful outstanding lucky and a lot of other things there
quite frequently no more brilliant or outstanding than the majority of the
people by whom they're surrounded but they did develop the right attitude and
they found their accomplishments not too difficult and many times surprisingly
easy simply because it seems that so few are really trying really believe in
themselves successful people come in all shapes and sizes and in widely varying
degrees of intelligence background and so on but they all have one thing in
common they expect more good out of life than
bad they expect to succeed more than they fail if you want something
worthwhile take the attitude that there are a lot more reasons why you can have
it then there are that you cannot and set out to earn it go after it work at
it ask for it and nine times out of ten you'll get it our environment is really
a mirror of our mental attitude if we don't like our environment we have to
change our attitude first now the world plays no favorites it's impersonal it
doesn't care whether we change or not adopting a good healthy attitude toward
life doesn't affect the world and the people in it nearly as much as it
affects us it would be impossible to even estimate the number of jobs which
have been lost the number of promotions missed the number of sales not made the
number of marriages ruined by poor attitudes but you can number in the
millions the jobs which are held but hated the marriages which are tolerated
but unhappy all because of people who are waiting for the world and others to
change toward them instead of being big enough and wise enough to at least make
a test which will prove beyond any shadow of a doubt where most at least a
big part of the trouble lies studies made of the lives of literally thousands
of successful people have shown that they radiate confidence assurance they
expect success and they get success you can spot these people by the way they
walk by the way they look and act you can feel it about them when they enter a
room they may be short and fat or tall and thin or any combination in between
but they have about them the attitude of success in the record greener pastures
I'll get into this next statement but right now I want you to realize if you
don't already that in five years or less you
can get right to the top of the work you're now doing I know this but the
important question here is do you know this the minute you do know it you'll
have this right attitude I'm talking about the easiest and most effective
means of forming a good attitude habit is to begin to act as though you have a
good positive expectant attitude toward life that's right
begin right now to walk act and look as though you belong to this group if
you're already in the top 5% you'll know what I mean if you've never tried it
you'll be amazed at what happens actions trigger feelings just as feelings
trigger actions now let me tell you a little test you can make which will
prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that a good attitude can change a person's
life as dramatically as walking from a darkened room into the bright clear
light of day not long ago I read a line which went life is dull only to dull
people this is true but it also could have read life is interesting only to
interesting people or life is successful only to successful people and what I'm
trying to say is that you must first become mentally from an attitude
standpoint that which you wish to achieve a famous restaurant era was
being interviewed by a reporter who asked when did you become successful and
he replied I was successful when I was sleeping on park benches because I knew
what I wanted to do and that I would do it in short his attitude had been one of
success of expecting success long before the material the tangible rewards of
success had been earned we'll get into this particular phase of lead the field
in record number three a worthy destination but for now remember that a
person must act look and because of these things feel successful before the
success he seeks can come chances are you know people who seem to be what
others call lucky all kinds of good and wonderful things seem to happen to them
and they give the impression of happily sailing through life having a wonderful
time and getting more accomplished in a year than most people do in five this
has been figured out fairly scientifically and if anyone will
conscientiously go about the test I'm going to
and stay with it every day for the next 30 days without fail that person can
join this small happy an extremely productive group of people he'll find
himself becoming lucky as they say and most of his problems will pretty well
take care of themselves of this you can be sure the results will be nothing
short of amazing now it makes no difference how good a person's attitude
has been in the past anything can be improved upon and it's
the small refinements upon something already good that makes it great so
here's the test for the next 30 days act toured the world everything and everyone
with whom you come in contact with the attitude which represents the kind of
results you want to achieve that is if the result you want is more success in
what you're doing act as though you are already in
possession of the success you seek if you want others to treat you with
admiration and respect treat others with admiration and respect first have you
ever stopped to think of this every human being on earth is the most
important human being on earth as far as he or she is concerned you may never get
anyone to admit it but it's a fact so for the next 30 days treat every person
with whom you come in contact as the most important person on earth
remembering as you do so that as far as that person is concerned he is now the
reason I say treat everyone in this fashion is mainly because this is the
way human beings ought to treat each other and because it will help you form
a habit that will bring you amazing and delightful results for the rest of your
life have you ever noticed that the higher you go in any organization of
value that nicer the people seem to become you see the bigger the person the
easier it is to talk to him to get along with him to do business with him do you
know why it's because he's got a good attitude and people with the best
attitudes just naturally gravitate toward the top so for 30-days act toward
others in the world at large in exactly the same manner you want the world and
others to act toward you treat your wife or husband as the person he or she
really is the most important person in your life the same with the children
carry out into the world each morning for 30 days the kind of attitude you
would if you were the most successful human
being on earth and notice how it quickly develops into an habitual attitude when
a person does this he should realize he has already placed himself on the road
to what he seeks he is right now in the top five percent of the people in
this or any other country he has prepared the ground and planted the seed
he has made of himself a magnet an embodiment of that which he seeks before
metal can be cast into a desired shape the mould the expected receptacle must
first be fashioned before a building can be erected the excavation must be made
and the foundation LED and before a person can achieve the kind of life he
wants he must become that kind of individual he must think act talk walk
and conduct himself in all of his affairs as would the person he wishes to
become he is then actually that person and the things that person would heaven
do will naturally come to him almost immediately a change will be noticed
irritations that used to frustrate and annoy disappear when some less informed
individual gives you a bad time stay on the track when someone cuts in front of
you with his car or acts in any other manner that shows his ignorance and lack
of courtesy don't permit yourself to drop to his level pity him for that's
what he really deserves that's the very group a person doesn't want to belong to
and if he acts like them well let's face it he belongs with him there's nothing
in the world that men women and children want and need more than the feeling that
they're important that they're needed and respected they will give their love
their affection their respect and their business to the person who fills this
need so the magic word is attitude and in summing up a few points to keep in
mind one it is our attitude at the beginning of a task which more than
anything else will affect its successful outcome - it is our attitude toward life
which determines life's attitude toward us 3 we are interdependent it is
impossible to succeed without others and it is our attitude toward others which
will determine their attitude toward us for be
a person can achieve the kind of life he wants he must become that kind of
individual he must think act talk walk and conduct himself in all of his
affairs as would the person he wishes to become five the higher you go in any
organization of value the better will be the attitudes you'll find six your mind
can hold only one thought at a time and since there's nothing at all to be
gained by being negative be positive 7 the deepest craving of human beings is
to be needed to feel important to be appreciated give it to them and they'll
return it to you 8 look for the best in new ideas as someone said I've never met
a person I couldn't learn something from 9 don't waste valuable time broadcasting
personal problems it probably won't help you it cannot help others 10 don't talk
about your health unless it's good 11 radiate the attitude
of well-being of confidence of a person who knows where he's going this will
inspire those around you and you'll find good things will begin happening to you
and 12 lastly for the next 30 days treat everyone with whom you come in contact
as the most important person on earth if you do this for 30 days you'll do it for
the rest of your life in the next recording I'll talk to you about greener
pastures but now in closing remember the words of Walter Dale Scott of
Northwestern University success or failure in any undertaking is caused
more by the mental attitude even than by mental capacities thank you
