- Hello there and welcome.
I'm Bob Proctor and I'm going to share an idea with you
that could be worth it's absolute weight in gold
if you study it.
Now I've been studying for a long time.
I learned it way back in 1961,
and it has fascinated me ever since then.
I want you to think of this for a moment.
About 3% of the population are real big winners.
97% of the population are not.
Do you know that people are struggling all their life?
You see it with their income.
They struggle with trying to earn enough money.
They're fighting for better health all the time.
They're trying to get a better job.
They're trying to build their business.
What is the basic ingredient behind all success?
It's attitude.
Attitude.
Now think about that for a moment.
What is attitude?
Attitude is not a subject
that's taught in very many places.
Now I've been teaching it for a long time,
and I'm working diligently
at keeping my own attitude on the right track.
If somebody asked you what it was,
what would you say?
I'm going to tell you this is a powerful concept,
and if you will watch,
take this video and watch it a thousand times.
Burn the idea right into your mind,
and then start paying attention to the people
that you run into every day,
and just ask yourself,
"What kind of an attitude have they got?"
Let me explain it this way.
I'm going to share something with ya
that I've been using for a long, long time.
I learned this many, many years ago
from a very good friend, Dr. Harry Roder,
and his good associate Leland Val Van De Wall.
Both of these men were mentors of mine,
and they pointed out that on one has ever seen the mind.
But there was a doctor, Thurman Fleet, and
in San Antonio, Texas, back in 1934,
he said "You know, no one's ever seen the mind.
"Mind is movement.
"Mind's not a thing."
A lot of people think of the brain
as being the mind, but that's not true.
He said "I'm going to draw a picture of the mind,"
and this is what he drew.
He just drew a circle, and then he said
"I want this to represent the body."
He said "we're going to divide the mind
"into two parts.
"We'll call this part the conscious mind
"and this part, the subconscious mind."
He said "There's a great power
"flowing into our conscious mind,
"and this power
"is neither bad nor good.
"It's neither positive or negative.
"It just is."
When that power flows in, it just is.
We have the ability, in our conscious mind,
to dictate how that power's going to flow.
In other words, this is where we can think,
and thinking is a function of the conscious mind.
That's right.
It's done with our reasoning factor,
our inductive reasoning factor,
if you want to get technical about it.
We can think anything we want and what we do is
we build ideas here in our conscious mind.
These ideas can be negative ideas or positive ideas,
but whatever we think,
we send them right out into the universe.
That's right.
That's an energy that we send into the universe.
You can pick up another person's thoughts.
They're transferred all over the universe.
Thought waves are cosmic waves
that penetrate all time and space.
This is also what we call our emotional mind,
and when you impress an idea
upon this part of our mind,
that idea is going to control the vibration
of this thing we call our body.
Let's suppose we take this idea
and we impress it here,
and it's a negative idea.
We're going to move into a negative vibration.
Let's suppose,
it's a positive idea.
We're going to move into a positive vibration.
The vibration, the feelings,
we send them out into the universe,
and those feelings are expressed through the body,
so it causes the body to act the way it acts.
It's our actions that produce our results.
Attitude was best described by Earl Nightingale.
He said it's our position or bearing
as indicating thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Thoughts, feelings and actions.
It's the composite of all three.
Let's think of this for a moment.
You can be thinking negative thoughts
and send out positive feelings.
You could consciously think of negative things
and yet, you're not emotionally involved in them.
You could be emotionally involved
with something very pleasant,
so you could send out negative thought,
positive vibration.
That would cause the body to act
in a very positive way.
Let's suppose you get emotionally involved
in the negative idea,
then you're going to send out
negative actions and negative vibrations.
Do you see, your attitude is
your position or bearing as indicating
thoughts, feelings and actions.
We have the ability
to look for good in every thing.
The people that focus on the positive,
they are going to win.
The ones that are looking at what's wrong all the time,
they are going to lose.
People with a good attitude
just naturally gravitate to the top.
It's not so much talent and ability
as it is attitude.
You can find absolutely brilliant people
with a bad attitude,
and you can find people that just aren't too bright
with a great attitude.
A good attitude is going to win every time for you.
What is it?
It's our thoughts, our feelings and our actions.
We're going to talk more about attitude
in other videos that we're going to make,
but this is very important you understand this.
You have a mind and you live in a body.
You have a conscious mind, a subconscious and a body.
The conscious mind is the thinking mind.
The subconscious is a part of feeling,
and the body is the instrument of the mind.
Keep your attitude right,
and you're going to win every time.
This is Bob Proctor.
