Hello there, and welcome. I'm Bob Proctor. Over the next
few minutes if you will listen really carefully,
take everything I'm saying very serious
and test what I'm suggesting,
I guarantee you this could change your life like that.
And to an enormous degree.
It can change almost everything in your life,
First of all, let's stop and think about who we are
and what we are.
We are a mass of energy and a very high speed of vibration.
We have awesome power, we've got power beyond
the scope of our imagination.
Now as long as we're living in a physical body
and corresponding with a material world,
we're gonna use our senses,
we can see, hear, smell, taste and touch.
You know I've a little dog that can
see, hear, smell, taste, and touch.
Now it's been pointed out to us by some pretty
respectable authorities that you
and I are the only creature on the planet
that's totally disoriented in our environment.
All the other little creatures are completely
at home in their environment.
The birds and the bees and the squirrels and the trees.
They all blend in, they're completely at home
in their environment, you and I are totally disoriented
in our environment and that is because we have been
given the mental faculties to create our own environment.
Now think of that for a moment, we can create our own
environment, in other words we don't have to settle
for what we see around us, we can change it.
Now if we're going to create our own environment
and live the way we really wanna live, we're gonna have
to use our higher faculties we're gonna have to begin
to think we just can't move along at a snail's pace.
Doin the same thing every day, day in day out.
We're gonna have to understand
what are these higher faculties?
You see we have perception, the will, reason,
imagination, memory, intuition these
are all higher faculties.
I'm gonna talk to you about perception,
perception is how you see something, it's your way of
looking at something you change the way you look at
something and it'll change completely.
Now let me explain how I do this.
I learned this by the way from Earl Nightingale.
Just one thing I'm gonna show you right now,
if I have a particular problem or a challenge,
I will take it and I'll write it on a piece of paper
and I'll put the paper in the center of the table
and I'll sit back and look at it.
And then I'll ask myself, is that challenge
or that problem in me?
Or is it on the paper?
Now as long as it's in me I'm gonna have difficulty
with it so I've gotta work to get it on the paper.
You say "Well that's silly." Is it? Try it.
Find out how silly it is.
Now when I get it on the paper, then I look at it
and I really try and understand it.
Then I may go sit on the other side of the table
and I'll look at it and I'll attempt to get into
Earl Nightingale's energy and I'll say
how would he look at this?
How would Earl perceive this particular situation?
And I'll start to get ideas in my mind
then I'll go look at it from somebody else's perspective.
I may ask someone to share their perspective of it.
You see when you change the way ya look at something
it changes, our good friend Wayne Dyer gave us that.
He said "When you change the way you look at a thing,
the thing you look at changes," Why?
Because we have perception, we've got the ability to
change how we see things.
Peggy McColl one day phoned me and she said,
we were just talking on the phone
and an idle conversation when we finished the point
where we were talking on, she said that she
and Denny were looking at a home but it was
a million more than they wanted to pay.
Just I said right back to her, make the million look small.
You know it was only a couple of hours later,
I got a email from her with a book cover,
Make a Million Look Small.
That's changing your perception of something,
'couple of days later she phoned me,
she says why don't we get Mary Morrissey, Gay Hendricks,
yourself and myself and we will run a seminar.
Make a Million Look Small, and we did and we made a million.
We changed the way we look at things.
What are you having your biggest problem with today?
Look at it from a totally different point of view.
Now you see your conditioned to see it from the way
your looking at it, you've gotta change that.
Bang just like that change it!
Because you can, you can look at it from a totally
different perspective, your mind is very very fluid.
It'll only be rigid if you keep it rigid.
Change the way you're looking at it
that's what perception's all about.
Think of when you have a big problem and you go
and you share it with someone wiser than yourself
and all of the sudden like that you may not even
have a problem, what did they do?
They looked at it from how they saw it,
they could see that isn't a big problem,
they explained something to you
and all of a sudden the problem went away
there's just a situation there to be looked after.
See perception is a mental faculty, now I told you
you have reason, the will, imagination, memory,
intuition, and perception. These are all higher faculties.
As you start to shape your perception of something
it changes totally.
Change your perception or your way of looking at
how you earn your money, could you earn more?
Could you earn more with less effort?
Could you earn more without working?
Could you earn money when you are sleeping?
Now this is causing you to look at what you're doing
from a different perspective, do you know what the truth is
you can earn more money when you're sleeping
than you can spend when you're awake.
Sounds wild doesn't it?
But it's true, you see all things are possible,
we just gotta start to look at them in a different way.
And when we do, our whole world starts to change,
perception how do you see what you see.
Change it, understand this: It's not rigid
it's as fluid as the air, you have to use your perception
to look at everything you're looking at from a totally
different point of view, that's how we created the world
we've got today, somebody changed how they looked
at lighting and they came in and lit our studio up properly.
Somebody changed the way we look at recording
and they built better a microphone.
Look at this for a moment, here's a little box
I want you to look at it.
A little box, this was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright
the great architect, I saw it sitting in a store one day
and I said isn't that interesting
and I picked it up and looked at it
and thought I wonder if it opens?
It not only opens but it's got a nice clock in it.
And I have this on my desk and I can close it
if I wanna, I can open it and it's inside.
Now you see you just changed your perception
of this box, when I opened it I changed mine
when I opened it and I thought I like that
and I gave it to myself as a gift.
Matt whose working with me today said
"How long have you had that?" I said "20 years."
How do you look at what you're capable of doing
how do you look at your life,
how do you look at your business,
how do you look at your inability to earn money?
Start to shift the way you see things,
that's what perception's all about!
Don't look at life the same way every day.
Try and upgrade your view, look at it from
a different point of view, raise yourself,
look down at it, look up at it, look sideways at it!
Understand this, it's as you see it, that's the way
it is for you. Perception. Change it.
