1
SPEAKER_00
 of.
1
SPEAKER_00
And thinking can be taught.
1
SPEAKER_00
Unfortunately, it's not being taught, but it can.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, it's the highest function we're capable of.
1
SPEAKER_00
So it's worthwhile learning.
1
SPEAKER_02
Absolutely.
1
SPEAKER_02
I think a lot of us are
1
SPEAKER_02
 We're not taught to think, we are conditioned to react to what's happening around us.
1
SPEAKER_02
And we react, we don't think before we react, we just react.
1
SPEAKER_02
And so that's what causes us a lot of stress and overwhelm.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, Viktor Frankl wrote a marvelous book, Men's Search for Meaning.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don't know if you're familiar with it.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yep.
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, he was a marvelous author.
1
SPEAKER_00
And he said, in every situation, between the situation
1
SPEAKER_00
 and your response, there's a space.
1
SPEAKER_00
It might only be a millisecond, but in that space, you have the ability to choose how you're going to react or respond.
1
SPEAKER_00
When you react, whatever you're reacting to is in control of you, whether it's another person, a condition, or a circumstance.
1
SPEAKER_00
When you respond to the same thing, you stay in control.
1
SPEAKER_02
 So when you react, they're in control, the environment is, when you respond, you're in control.
1
SPEAKER_00
Sandy Gallagher, my partner, she has a niece.
1
SPEAKER_00
Her niece was at her house one day and I happened to phone and she says, would you talk to Anna for me?
1
SPEAKER_00
And she was having a problem with her mother.
1
SPEAKER_00
 And I was thinking, well, probably you're right.
1
SPEAKER_00
But I would imagine your mother thinks she's having a problem with you.
1
SPEAKER_00
And what they were doing, she was reacting.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I got explaining it to her.
1
SPEAKER_00
I said, listen, it doesn't matter what happens.
1
SPEAKER_00
It doesn't matter what happens.
1
SPEAKER_00
You have a choice.
1
SPEAKER_00
You're either going to react or respond.
1
SPEAKER_00
 When you react, you have lost control of you and you've given control to the other person or the conditions or the circumstance.
1
SPEAKER_00
When you respond, exactly the same situation, nothing's changed, only you respond.
1
SPEAKER_00
You could say, I wonder why she's saying it like that.
1
SPEAKER_00
I wonder why she wants me to do that now.
1
SPEAKER_00
I wonder why she's upset with me.
1
SPEAKER_00
 Well, her mother apparently, if I get this story right, apparently got ahold of Sandy and wanted to know what the hell was going on with Anna when she went home.
1
SPEAKER_00
She was so different.
1
SPEAKER_00
That's a huge lesson to learn.
1
SPEAKER_02
 In this next section, Bob shares how to overcome self-doubt so that you can live the more purposeful life you deserve.
1
SPEAKER_02
Self-doubt is the disease that keeps people from living their dreams.
1
SPEAKER_02
It keeps them stuck in a prison for so long and it cripples them.
1
SPEAKER_02
And this is the antidote to that crippling self-doubt.
1
SPEAKER_02
 I've been researching this more and just trying to learn from people like yourself on how you have dealt with self-doubt over the years and how you think anyone who feels like they're doubting themselves, what can they do to go from doubt into confidence?
1
SPEAKER_02
What do you think is the path?
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay, that's a good question.
1
SPEAKER_00
It ties in with the previous question you asked.
1
SPEAKER_00
What do we do with fear?
1
SPEAKER_00
Fear comes from the doubt.
1
SPEAKER_00
 So the doubt becomes the cause of the fear, which is the cause of the anxiety, et cetera.
1
SPEAKER_00
The doubt is the cause, fear is the effect.
1
SPEAKER_00
What is the polar opposite to doubt?
1
SPEAKER_00
Understanding.
1
SPEAKER_00
It's understanding.
1
SPEAKER_00
That's the opposite of doubt.
1
SPEAKER_00
So what is it we want to understand?
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, if it's me that's entertaining doubt, why am I entertaining doubt?
1
SPEAKER_00
If I were to find out who I really am,
1
SPEAKER_00
 And I believe everything that's been taught down through the centuries, I would have no doubt, I would be realizing that I could do anything.
1
SPEAKER_00
 And the only thing that's causing a doubt is lack of understanding.
1
SPEAKER_00
So I'm going to keep studying and I'll gain a better understanding.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don't doubt myself.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don't doubt what I can do.
1
SPEAKER_00
Does that mean that I can do everything?
1
SPEAKER_00
No.
1
SPEAKER_00
When doubt appears, I'll eliminate it and I'll eliminate it fast because I'm going to figure out how to do whatever it is I'm doubting.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
 And you see, if it's me that I'm doubting, it's because I don't understand me well enough.
1
SPEAKER_00
I did a broadcast the other day.
1
SPEAKER_00
It was all over the place.
1
SPEAKER_00
We had thousands into it on self-image.
1
SPEAKER_00
And we've got to get a better image of ourself.
1
SPEAKER_00
We have to get a true image of ourselves, understand who we are, how our mind functions.
1
SPEAKER_00
Realize this physical instrument we're living in is nothing but an instrument.
1
SPEAKER_00
It's the instrument of the mind.
1
SPEAKER_00
 and the mind expresses itself with and through this thing we call our body.
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, let's understand that better.
1
SPEAKER_00
This thing, you've got enough power in your one hand to light up that building you're in for probably a month.
1
SPEAKER_02
Wow.
1
SPEAKER_00
There's about 11 million kilowatt hours per pound potential energy locked up in the electrons and the atoms of the body.
1
SPEAKER_00
Well,
1
SPEAKER_00
 That's the invisible power that's in me.
1
SPEAKER_00
I want to understand that better.
1
SPEAKER_00
That's the physical side.
1
SPEAKER_00
What's the higher side?
1
SPEAKER_00
Higher side is my intellectual side.
1
SPEAKER_00
And that is the intellectual factors that I ran through earlier.
1
SPEAKER_00
Perception, will, reason, imagination, memory, and intuition.
1
SPEAKER_00
There's six of them.
1
SPEAKER_00
 As I understand those more, as I understand my intellectual factors, I'm using the things that I'm utilizing and developing the things that separate me from all the rest of the animal kingdom of which I'm a part.
1
SPEAKER_00
Then I can tap into the spiritual essence of who I am because we're spiritual beings.
1
SPEAKER_00
And that's where the greatness lies.
1
SPEAKER_00
 It lies in understanding the spiritual essence of who we are.
1
SPEAKER_00
You see, our spiritual DNA is perfect.
1
SPEAKER_00
It requires no improvement.
1
SPEAKER_00
It requires no modification.
1
SPEAKER_00
Our spiritual essence is perfect.
1
SPEAKER_00
And that perfection is within us.
1
SPEAKER_00
So the trick is figuring out how to express it in a greater way.
1
SPEAKER_02
 Yeah, and not get trapped into a different type of expression through bad news or friends or parents' beliefs or whatever it is that tries to shut us down, correct?
1
SPEAKER_00
Exactly.
1
SPEAKER_00
And they will try and shut us down because we're coming up and we're saying, I'm going to do this.
1
SPEAKER_00
They'll say, you got to be out of your mind.
1
SPEAKER_00
You're going to quit that good job.
1
SPEAKER_00
Are you crazy?
1
SPEAKER_00
We got to be strong enough to say, I'm going to follow my dream.
1
SPEAKER_02
Amen to that.
1
SPEAKER_02
I'm a big believer.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like Martin Luther King, I have a dream.
1
SPEAKER_00
 He didn't say I have a plan.
1
SPEAKER_00
He didn't say I have a bank account.
1
SPEAKER_00
He didn't say, you know, I have a dream.
1
SPEAKER_00
I have an image in my mind.
1
SPEAKER_00
I have a beautiful picture that I want to execute in my life.
1
SPEAKER_02
Self-image.
1
SPEAKER_02
I love this topic about self-image.
1
SPEAKER_02
How do we reshape our self-image to serve us as opposed to bring us down?
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, it's interesting.
1
SPEAKER_00
 Maxwell Maltz actually discovered self-image as we know it today.
1
SPEAKER_00
He was a cosmetic surgeon, and he found if he operated on a person, maybe they had a distasteful scar on their face, and he removed the scar, he said, sometimes there was a phenomenal change in the person's personality.
1
SPEAKER_00
But he said other times they'd remove the scar, it was very successful, no change in their personality.
1
SPEAKER_00
 That led him to postulate that we not only have this physical image that reflects back from the mirror, we have an inner image of ourself.
1
SPEAKER_00
It's how we see ourself.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now that inner image is an idea.
1
SPEAKER_00
And that idea is generally planted in our little life when we're infants.
1
SPEAKER_00
And it's planted by virtue of the environment that we're surrounded by.
1
SPEAKER_00
 how we're raised.
1
SPEAKER_00
If a child's raised with praise, they're gonna grow up very confident individuals.
1
SPEAKER_00
If a child's raised with criticism, they're gonna grow up very insecure.
1
SPEAKER_00
So you see this image that we have, it's a picture of how we see ourself, but most of us, that image was planted by people that didn't know what the hell was going on.
1
SPEAKER_00
They didn't know the war was over, and they were planting, they were developing a little mind.
1
SPEAKER_00
 It was a mind, they were shaping it like fresh clay.
1
SPEAKER_00
They didn't understand that.
1
SPEAKER_00
It was a kid they're looking after and we feed him, we keep him warm, what the hell?
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, that's our responsibility.
1
SPEAKER_00
No, it was a mind and they were developing that mind.
1
SPEAKER_00
And if they didn't understand, what were they going to put in?
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, all they could give to the child is the insecurities that they had themselves.
1
SPEAKER_00
 So that was the picture that the kid grows up of themself.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now I grew up very insecure.
1
SPEAKER_00
I was born during the depression.
1
SPEAKER_00
When I first went to school, the second world war had just broken out.
1
SPEAKER_00
So everybody's rationed for everything.
1
SPEAKER_00
It was hard times.
1
SPEAKER_00
All the men were away fighting in Europe or South Pacific.
1
SPEAKER_00
There was no men doing anything.
1
SPEAKER_00
The women that were there were driving the trucks.
1
SPEAKER_00
They were cops.
1
SPEAKER_00
They did everything.
1
SPEAKER_00
So it wasn't a whole lot of time used for developing a little mind.
1
SPEAKER_00
 So I just grew up and picked up what I could.
1
SPEAKER_00
I grew up very insecure.
1
SPEAKER_00
It wasn't until I met a man that gave me this book and gave me some damn good instruction that I started to pay attention to who I was.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I have never stopped being fascinated with studying me.
1
SPEAKER_00
I am the most fascinating subject that I've ever come across.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I have found out that you and I are exactly the same.
1
SPEAKER_00
We only appear to be different.
1
SPEAKER_00
 Our physical body looks different.
1
SPEAKER_00
We choose different vocations.
1
SPEAKER_00
Some earns more or less than the other, but our potential is exactly the same.
1
SPEAKER_00
We both live in a physical body.
1
SPEAKER_00
We both have these higher mental faculties.
1
SPEAKER_00
We're both spiritual beings.
1
SPEAKER_00
We both draw on an infinite source of supply.
1
SPEAKER_00
We're the same.
1
SPEAKER_00
 So the trick, I think, for the person that has insecurities, that hasn't got the strongest image they want, they should find a damn good mentor.
1
SPEAKER_00
 That's what changed my life.
1
SPEAKER_00
That's what the School of Greatness is for doing for people that are tuning into it on a regular basis.
1
SPEAKER_00
Because I don't think you have any schlocks on here.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don't think you have people coming on here don't know what the hell they're talking about.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don't think you have people come on here just to make a noise.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think you come on to pick the best of their mind.
1
SPEAKER_00
You're gonna pick their mind for the listening audience.
1
SPEAKER_00
 You've got a big name out there.
1
SPEAKER_00
A lot of people listen to you, pay attention.
1
SPEAKER_00
And that's why, because you're giving them the right information.
1
SPEAKER_00
So as we start to gather this information about ourself, our image starts to change.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I started to see, I'm not this skinny kid that doesn't know what the hell's happening that did poorly in school.
1
SPEAKER_00
I'm a spiritual being.
1
SPEAKER_00
I have a marvelous mind.
1
SPEAKER_00
I can think.
1
SPEAKER_00
 If I can imagine it, I can hold it in my hand.
1
SPEAKER_00
I can do anything that I want.
1
SPEAKER_02
 In our next section, Bob shares how to adapt into all of the situations life throws at you so you can thrive in your life.
1
SPEAKER_02
Life will continue to throw adversity at you.
1
SPEAKER_02
Things are going to happen each year.
1
SPEAKER_02
You will be thrown into the fire.
1
SPEAKER_02
It's all about how you respond and how you show up with the adversity in your life that really makes a difference or not.
1
SPEAKER_02
 What are the habits of those people thriving versus the other people that maybe who were successful but fell off a little bit over the last year?
1
SPEAKER_02
What would you say are some of those habits that differentiate the successful during challenging times?
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, it's really obvious.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, the law of the animal kingdom is adapt or die.
1
SPEAKER_00
And if you let the outside world control you, you're toast.
1
SPEAKER_00
Because when anything goes wrong, it's in control.
1
SPEAKER_00
 When you control from the inside, like we're in control of ourself, we're in control of our world.
1
SPEAKER_00
So it doesn't matter what happens, you figure out how to get to where you're going.
1
SPEAKER_00
The goals don't change.
1
SPEAKER_00
Sometimes the methods of getting there do.
1
SPEAKER_00
 I have never – I think probably I had great teachers.
1
SPEAKER_00
I had a half a dozen phenomenal mentors and I think I was raised the right way.
1
SPEAKER_00
You stay in control regardless.
1
SPEAKER_02
 Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_02
What would you say are some of the habits that you have that people wouldn't expect that you would have?
1
SPEAKER_02
Maybe they would expect certain things like waking up early or journaling or, you know, getting eight hours of sleep.
1
SPEAKER_02
But what are some habits that you do differently that maybe are unexpected in the personal growth space?
1
SPEAKER_00
I study every day.
1
SPEAKER_00
 Every day.
1
SPEAKER_00
I've studied every day now for 60 years.
1
SPEAKER_00
I started to study this book in 1961, and I read it every day.
1
SPEAKER_00
Same book, Think and Grow Rich.
1
SPEAKER_00
I have just here behind me, I've got the Laws of Success, the original ones that Napoleon Hill wrote in 1928.
1
SPEAKER_00
And then he came up with this in 1937.
1
SPEAKER_00
 The man that gave it to me, he said, if you'll study this every day, he said, you're going to have a wonderful life.
1
SPEAKER_00
And he pointed out Napoleon Hill spent his whole life studying the lives of 500 of the world's most successful people.
1
SPEAKER_00
He was mentored by Andrew Carnegie, who at the time was the wealthiest man in the world.
1
SPEAKER_00
 And he said, since he spent his whole life putting this together, he said it would be a prudent move on your part if you spent the rest of your life trying to understand and apply what he was teaching.
1
SPEAKER_00
And that just seemed to make some sense to me, and that's what I started to do, and I've never stopped.
1
SPEAKER_02
If there was only one principle inside of Think and Grow Rich that you could
1
SPEAKER_02
 only live by, and only talk about, and you wouldn't be able to talk about anything else inside the book, what would that one principle be?
1
SPEAKER_00
Persistence.
1
SPEAKER_00
He said in the book, he said, there may be no heroic connotation to the word, but the quality is to the character of the human, like what carbon is to steel.
1
SPEAKER_00
See, I think the trick, Lewis, is get some good habit patterns and live with them all of your life, because
1
SPEAKER_00
 You're either going to grow or you're going to die.
1
SPEAKER_00
It's create or disintegrate.
1
SPEAKER_00
There's no such thing as leveling out and staying where we are.
1
SPEAKER_00
And some people think they can just hold it where they're at, but they can't do that.
1
SPEAKER_00
You're either going to go ahead or you're going to go backwards.
1
SPEAKER_00
It's create or disintegrate.
1
SPEAKER_00
And so if you have good habits, you're going to keep growing.
1
SPEAKER_00
Way back, I think around 1938, 39, Albert E. N. Gray
1
SPEAKER_00
 worked for the Prudential, and he wrote The Common Denominator of Success.
1
SPEAKER_00
It's a great article.
1
SPEAKER_00
And he said, the common denominator of success is informing the habit of doing things that failures don't like to do.
1
SPEAKER_00
And he was speaking one time, a young guy said, why do successful people like doing these things?
1
SPEAKER_00
And he said, they don't.
1
SPEAKER_00
That's why they've turned them into habits.
1
SPEAKER_00
I thought that was beautiful.
1
SPEAKER_00
 Because that's why they've turned them into habits.
1
SPEAKER_00
They don't like doing them.
1
SPEAKER_00
And of course, a habit is something we do automatically without any conscious thought.
1
SPEAKER_00
It's part of our paradigm.
1
SPEAKER_00
We're programmed.
1
SPEAKER_02
What do you think are the three most difficult habits to develop that actually will support us for the most growth long term, if we can take these habits on?
1
SPEAKER_00
 One of the things I think the most difficult is repetition of studying the same thing.
1
SPEAKER_00
I have a book here on my desk.
1
SPEAKER_00
It's in a book holder.
1
SPEAKER_00
And when I went to visit Earl Nightingale way back 1968, no, it was earlier than that, it was around 66.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I saw he had this,
1
SPEAKER_00
 book stand on his desk, and I asked him what it was.
1
SPEAKER_00
He said it was a book holder.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I said, why do you have it?
1
SPEAKER_00
He says, because I want to read those two pages every day for the next month, maybe two months.
1
SPEAKER_00
I said, really?
1
SPEAKER_00
The same thing.
1
SPEAKER_00
And he said, yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
He said, then they'll become a part of me.
1
SPEAKER_00
 And he said, that's really the secret of success is repetition of an idea.
1
SPEAKER_00
You see that in sports.
1
SPEAKER_00
You play ball.
1
SPEAKER_00
I mean, it's definitely part of your game.
1
SPEAKER_00
How many plays would you have in your head?
1
SPEAKER_02
 Well, a lot of different plays, but in football, there's really only like nine different routes a receiver can run as part of the tree of running a route.
1
SPEAKER_02
But there's so many different variations within plays that that one receiver could run, and then another person could run in tandem with that.
1
SPEAKER_02
So you have to, there's a massive playbook
1
SPEAKER_02
 that you go through at the beginning of the season, and you've got to remember a lot of different things.
1
SPEAKER_02
But if you typically know the route you need to run and what other people are doing around you, then you can figure it out.
1
SPEAKER_00
But it's repetition that enables you to do that, isn't it?
1
SPEAKER_02
Over and over and over and over.
1
SPEAKER_02
Same route over and over.
1
SPEAKER_00
That doesn't just apply to football.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think that applies to life.
1
SPEAKER_00
 And if a person will really understand that, it's through repetition that you program your subjective mind.
1
SPEAKER_00
And it's your subjective mind that controls your behavior.
1
SPEAKER_00
Doesn't make sense to some people, but if they would study it and start to understand it, they would start to do it.
1
SPEAKER_02
What's the most important thing on those two pages that you have up in front of you?
1
SPEAKER_00
Most important thing?
1
SPEAKER_00
Here, I'll read it to you.
1
SPEAKER_00
 The lesson to be learned from the practical aviation of the present day is that of triumph of principle over precedent, of working out of an idea to its logical conclusion in spite of the accumulated testimony of all past experiences to the contrary.
1
SPEAKER_00
 With such a notable example before us, can we say that it is futile to inquire whether by the same method we may not unlock still more important secrets and gain some knowledge of the unseen causes which are the back of external and visible conditions, and then by bringing these unseen causes into a better order, make practical working reality of possibilities which at present seem but fantastic dreams?
1
SPEAKER_00
 They're talking about the Wright brothers.
1
SPEAKER_00
He said there was a secret.
1
SPEAKER_00
They got off the ground because nobody knew how to fly.
1
SPEAKER_00
And neither did they until after they got it in the air.
1
SPEAKER_00
But he pointed out that it was principle over precedent.
1
SPEAKER_00
And we let precedent control us too often.
1
SPEAKER_02
What's the difference between principle and precedent?
1
SPEAKER_00
 President, you're letting something that has happened in the past control you.
1
SPEAKER_00
The principle is that there's always a better way.
1
SPEAKER_00
Doesn't matter what you're doing.
1
SPEAKER_00
Better is a beautiful word.
1
SPEAKER_02
What's something in your life that took a long time where you were holding on to the precedent
1
SPEAKER_02
 of something for a while, maybe it was months, maybe it was years, decades, that eventually the principle finally started to fly, and you had a breakthrough.
1
SPEAKER_02
Is there an area of your life you can think of?
1
SPEAKER_00
Oh, absolutely, absolutely, just as soon as you said it, yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
You see, when I started in this, when I first got this book, I was such a loser.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I mean, in every way you look at it,
1
SPEAKER_00
 I went to high school for two months.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I didn't quit.
1
SPEAKER_00
They kicked me out.
1
SPEAKER_00
They didn't want me there.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I was kind of happy because I didn't like it there anyway.
1
SPEAKER_00
I held dumb jobs.
1
SPEAKER_00
I never had a half decent job.
1
SPEAKER_00
The idea that I could even get a good job never entered my mind.
1
SPEAKER_00
I had such low self-esteem.
1
SPEAKER_00
I didn't understand that at the time.
1
SPEAKER_00
I didn't even know what self-esteem was.
1
SPEAKER_00
 letting go of the fact that I didn't have a formal education, that I never had any business experience.
1
SPEAKER_00
The man that gave me the book, he said, none of that matters, Bob, that's the past.
1
SPEAKER_00
He said, let it go.
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, I had a difficult time letting that go because we're programmed that if you don't go to school, you can't get a good job.
1
SPEAKER_00
 that if you're going to earn a lot of money, you've got to be really smart.
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, you see, I didn't think I was very smart and I didn't have any formal education.
1
SPEAKER_00
That's a hard thing to let go of.
1
SPEAKER_00
But through the repetition of studying this over and over and over, and as he pointed out to me, Edison had grade three and he pointed at different people that had no formal education.
1
SPEAKER_00
 And I finally made a break, left it behind.
1
SPEAKER_00
I'm not quite sure exactly when, but I let it go.
1
SPEAKER_02
 What would you say are some deciding factors that can help someone with their self-esteem?
1
SPEAKER_02
Because you and I are very similar, where my childhood, I didn't have much confidence in myself or esteem because I was in the bottom of my class in school, because I had tutors and special needs classes, because I just...
1
SPEAKER_02
 wasn't able to understand it and comprehend that well and felt awkward and goofy in my life.
1
SPEAKER_02
What are some things you think people that in their teens or even in their 40s and 50s who don't have confidence yet, what are the things we can be doing differently to gain confidence, to build self-esteem?
1
SPEAKER_02
Because I think this is one of the key factors of success is believing in yourself.
1
SPEAKER_02
It doesn't matter if the world believes in you if you don't believe in you.
1
SPEAKER_02
What can we start to do to change that?
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, I think a person has to start to study themselves.
1
SPEAKER_00
 Most people know very little about themselves.
1
SPEAKER_00
They think they're their body.
1
SPEAKER_00
You're not a body.
1
SPEAKER_00
You have a body.
1
SPEAKER_00
And you have a marvelous mind.
1
SPEAKER_00
And when I first started to study this, I thought, you know, studying the mind, that's for psychiatrists, psychologists, behavioral scientists.
1
SPEAKER_00
And the man that told me said, no, it's not.
1
SPEAKER_00
He says, that's for anybody.
1
SPEAKER_00
That's for little kids.
1
SPEAKER_00
And so I think as we start to understand something about our mind,
1
SPEAKER_00
 and something about our higher faculties.
1
SPEAKER_00
See, we're all programmed to live through our senses.
1
SPEAKER_00
We go by what we see, hear, smell, taste, touch.
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, I've got a little dog at home that you see, hear, smell, taste, touch.
1
SPEAKER_00
All the animals in the world, they're completely at home in their environment.
1
SPEAKER_00
They blend in.
1
SPEAKER_00
They operate by instinct, which is perfect.
1
SPEAKER_00
 Um, we had instinct removed and we had higher faculties put in our place in the place.
1
SPEAKER_00
And if we would study these and gain an understanding, your self-image would automatically start to improve.
1
SPEAKER_00
You have perception, the will, reason, imagination, memory, and intuition.
1
SPEAKER_00
Those six faculties,
1
SPEAKER_00
 will give you the ability to create your own environment.
1
SPEAKER_00
See, we're totally disoriented in our environment, where all the other little creatures are completely at home in theirs.
1
SPEAKER_00
And we're disoriented in ours because we can create our own.
1
SPEAKER_00
But we don't know that.
1
SPEAKER_00
School doesn't teach us that.
1
SPEAKER_00
School is more interested in the development of your intellect than in the development of awareness.
1
SPEAKER_00
 A person doesn't earn a hundred thousand dollars a year because they want a hundred a year.
1
SPEAKER_00
They earn a hundred a year because they're not aware of how to earn a hundred a month.
1
SPEAKER_00
Awareness is really the key.
1
SPEAKER_00
And when we become aware of who we are and what we've got working for us, you know, marvelous things start to happen to us.
1
SPEAKER_00
And that's really what happened to me.
1
SPEAKER_00
I never went back to school.
1
SPEAKER_00
Um, I, um,
1
SPEAKER_00
 I built a very successful company.
1
SPEAKER_00
It operates all over the world.
1
SPEAKER_00
I didn't do it myself.
1
SPEAKER_00
I have a tremendous team of people.
1
SPEAKER_00
I've got just an absolute genius of a business partner, a woman who's an attorney.
1
SPEAKER_00
I mentioned to you before, you should have her on sometime.
1
SPEAKER_00
You'd be fascinated with her.
1
SPEAKER_00
She's that interesting.
1
SPEAKER_00
But it was a group of people.
1
SPEAKER_00
We've attracted a phenomenal group of people in our company.
1
SPEAKER_00
 And we're operating now in 91 countries teaching this information.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don't know another company that teaches what we teach.
1
SPEAKER_00
 Tony Robbins has probably done more for our industry than any individual.
1
SPEAKER_00
The Secret has probably done more for it as much as Tony has, the movie.
1
SPEAKER_00
But there's, I don't know anybody else teaching what we're teaching.
1
SPEAKER_00
And what we're really doing is teaching people how their mind functions and how to expand their understanding of how it operates.
1
SPEAKER_02
 What are the six faculties again?
1
SPEAKER_02
You shared this before, which I, which I love.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I think if people really understood this, help them build their self perception, the will, imagination, memory, reason, and intuition.
1
SPEAKER_02
 Which one is the hardest for people to?
1
SPEAKER_02
I don't think any of them are awareness.
1
SPEAKER_00
They're, they're all equally valuable.
1
SPEAKER_00
Um, you take your imagination.
1
SPEAKER_00
Think of this for a minute.
1
SPEAKER_00
Louis, nothing is created or destroyed.
1
SPEAKER_00
Look here.
1
SPEAKER_00
Here's a little cell phone.
1
SPEAKER_00
What you can do with this almost blows your mind when you think of it.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
1
SPEAKER_00
Well, when I was a kid, we didn't have a phone.
1
SPEAKER_00
 We didn't have a phone because we didn't have any money for the first reason, but the second,
