When things get crazy
make sure that you don't get crazy too.
Keep your emotions in check
Stay calm
There's gonna be things that go on
that are out of your control
The worst thing you can do
is let something that's out of your control
control you.
Get control of yourself
Get control of your emotion
Don't get angry
Don't get frustrated
INSTEAD
stay calm and figure out
how to move forward
So you wanna ask yourself
what story do you find yourself telling?
Because the more you tell the story
the more active it is within you
and the more it becomes your point of attraction.
And the more it finalizes way too strong of word
but the more it causes a belief
to be powerful within you
and your powerful beliefs
that are in opposition
to your powerful desires
are the only problem in the world that you ever have.
Your subconscious mind is extraordinarily powerful
and his job is to keep you consistent
on the outside with your commands on the inside.
Burdens are what age us
They drag down our spirits
We can change the world
Just for a moment
close your eyes
and connect with that part of yourself.
If each one of us would practice getting in touch
with the treasures within us on a daily basis
we could literally change the world.
And as Joseph Campbell said,
life is a wonderful, wonderful opera
except that it hurts.
So the question is
do you see it as the beautiful opera
or do you just pay attention to the pain?
You get what you focus on
If you focus on the things that are bad
they will become real
they will become exaggerated
they will begin to monopolize your thoughts
you'll see them everywhere
And at the end of the day
you're gonna get what you focus on
They're both true
Many of you listening to me
know what it's like to LOSE EVERYTHING
You know what it's like to hit ROCK BOTTOM
You know what it's like NOT to BE SUPPORTED
You know what it's like to be LIED ON
You know what it's like to experience
EMOTIONAL
RELATIONAL
and PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA
and it changes you
because you don't know what you are made of
until you have gone through something.
Don't let the outside interference
stop your growth.
Where you put your energy
where you put your attention
where you put your focus
is going to determine what you see
and that is the most fascinating
and the most important thing
you have to understand
about the way that your mind works
It's called the reticular activating system.
Your mind is literally designed
to pay attention to the things that you notice.
RECTIFY IN YOURSELF
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
KEEP THAT FAITH IN YOURSELF
We are all under the law of our own consciousness, our own thoughts,
and only we attract specific experiences to us, by the way we think.
When you change your thinking process, then
everything in your life will also change.
You will be amazed and delighted to see how people,
places things and circumstances can change.
Blame is just another negative affirmation and you
do not wanna waste your precious thoughts on it.
Instead, learn to turn your negative
affirmations around into positive ones.
When you first begin to make the change over and
really pay attention to your thoughts, you will be horrified
to realize how negative much of your thinking has been.
So when you catch a negative thought, just
think to yourself, this is an old thought.
I no longer choose to think that way.
Then find a positive thought to
substitute for it as quickly as you can.
Remember you want to feel good as much as possible.
Thoughts of bitterness, resentment, blame and guilt make you
feel miserable, and that is a habit you really wanna release.
Another barrier to having positive affirmations work is feeling
not good enough that you don't deserve to have good in your life.
If that is your issue, then you could begin with the section on self-esteem
You could see how many of the self-esteem affirmations
you can memorize and then repeat them often.
It will help change that worthless feeling atmosphere you
might be carrying around to one of self-esteem and self-worth.
Then watch your positive affirmations materialize.
Affirmations are solutions that will
replace whatever problem you might have.
Whenever you have a problem, repeat over and over.
All is well.
Everything is working out for my highest good.
Out of this situation, only good will come and I am safe.
This simple affirmation will work miracles in your life.
I would also like to suggest that you do not share your
affirmations with others who may poo poo these ideas.
When you are just getting started, it is best to keep your
thinking to yourself until you have achieved your desired results.
Then friends will say, oh, your life is changing so much.
You're so different.
What have you been doing?
And then you can explain.
Go over this section several times until you
really get the principles and can live them.
Also Zero in on the sections that may have the most
meaning to you and practice the affirmations and
remember to make up affirmations of your own.
The first affirmations for you to use right now are, I can do it.
I can feel good about myself.
I can make positive changes in my life.
And you see every time you try to go back, can't do it.
You can't do it.
And the ingredients
that make for a no limit life are five, in my opinion.
The first is quality rather than appearances.
You begin to change your thinking from appearances
and how things look and how other people view.
Because every time you find yourself upset in life about anything
that anyone else has said,
what you're really saying is what you think of me
is more important than what I think of me.
All right?
So you change from appearances to what I call quality thinking.
Quality.
What is the quality of my life rather
than how does it appear to others?
Now, do you tell yourself that because my friends don't like me
That that means there's something wrong with me.
No, that, see, that's what you have to learn,
that another person's opinion is just that.
It's their opinion and that's all it is.
Every time you are upset or your children are upset because
of what somebody else says about them, including their peers,
what you are really saying in that moment, and this is really important,
what you're saying is what you think of me is more important
Than what I think of myself.
And you must never give anybody that kind of power
and control over you cuz they will always have it.
The funny part about approval, for those of you who really want it,
and now I'm here to tell you that I like approval.
I enjoy it.
I find it one of the most exciting things in
the way I like it when people read my books.
I love it when people applaud.
I like it when people, uh, tell me nice things and all.
I like approval.
I'm the first one to admit it
What I don't do is I don't need approval.
There's a big difference between
wanting approval and needing approval.
When you need approval.
It means you become immobilized when you don't get it
from making other people's opinions More important.
Now, for those of you who say, yeah, but I want approval and I
need it, and if I don't get it and so on, then understand this.
The people who get the most approval in life
Are the ones who care the least about it, and the ones who get
the least approval are the ones who are always going after it.
So if you want approval in this paradoxical
way that I'm talking about it, stop needing it.
Stop concerning yourself about, ask
yourself who gets the most approval in life.
Think of the person that gets the most approval, and you'll see
that that person couldn't care less what other people are thinking.
they're so busy being, they don't have time
to notice what their neighbors are doing.
Thoro said this, he said, if you advance confidently
in the direction of your own dreams,
an endeavor to live the life which you have imagined,
you will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
What that means is that success is not
something that you can get in life.
Success is an inner process.
Success is something that you bring to everything you do in your life.
It isn't something you get out of what you do.
And when you get that and you learn how to get the junk out and
advance confidently doing what makes the most amount of sense to you
based on your inner signals, and the one issue of morality, which
is you never interfere with anybody else's right to do the same.
Each person has their own right to advance
confidently in the direction of their own dreams.
And when you violate that, you're violating the principle of the
universe, the essence of the universe, which is cooperation and harmony
