So the first manifestations. So the first manifestations. So the first manifestation manifestation manifestation I want you to be thinking about this and I want you to be thinking about this and I want you to be thinking about this and saying these things.

And this shift happened for me when I And this shift happened for me when I And this shift happened for me when I heard my good friend Dr. James Dodie heard my good friend Dr. James Dodie heard my good friend Dr. James Dodie talk about this a few years back on the talk about this a few years back on the talk about this a few years back on the school of greatness and Dr. Dodie passed school of greatness and Dr. Dodie passed school of greatness and Dr. Dodie passed away recently and it got me thinking away recently and it got me thinking away recently and it got me thinking about this positive message that he about this positive message that he about this positive message that he wanted everyone to know. So watch this wanted everyone to know. So watch this wanted everyone to know. So watch this right here. Everybody has an inner right here. Everybody has an inner right here. Everybody has an inner critic. It's just some are much more critic. It's just some are much more critic. It's just some are much more powerful uh than others. And uh so she powerful uh than others. And uh so she powerful uh than others. And uh so she also taught me to recognize that that also taught me to recognize that that also taught me to recognize that that wasn't truth. wasn't truth. wasn't truth. >> The inner critic. >> The inner critic. >> The inner critic. >> Yes. Because if you uh and being an >> Yes. Because if you uh and being an >> Yes. Because if you uh and being an athlete, I'm sure you know, uh if you athlete, I'm sure you know, uh if you athlete, I'm sure you know, uh if you tell yourself it's not possible, by tell yourself it's not possible, by tell yourself it's not possible, by definition, it is not possible. It definition, it is not possible. It definition, it is not possible. It cannot happen. And so when people listen cannot happen. And so when people listen cannot happen. And so when people listen to that, they are giving their self- to that, they are giving their self- to that, they are giving their self- agency away. And in some ways, uh this agency away. And in some ways, uh this agency away. And in some ways, uh this is the nature of how we take control of is the nature of how we take control of is the nature of how we take control of our manifestation. our manifestation. our manifestation. Uh and as you know from the first Uh and as you know from the first Uh and as you know from the first sentence in the book, sentence in the book, sentence in the book, >> it says the universe doesn't give a >> it says the universe doesn't give a >> it says the universe doesn't give a about you because it has no to give. about you because it has no to give. about you because it has no to give. There is not some external entity There is not some external entity There is not some external entity deciding your fate because you're good deciding your fate because you're good deciding your fate because you're good or a bad guy. But we have immense power or a bad guy. But we have immense power or a bad guy. But we have immense power within us to control our destiny. within us to control our destiny. within us to control our destiny. >> And when you give it away and listen to >> And when you give it away and listen to >> And when you give it away and listen to that critic, then you're limiting your that critic, then you're limiting your that critic, then you're limiting your beliefs. So the key is how do you uh beliefs. So the key is how do you uh beliefs. So the key is how do you uh unlimit your beliefs if you will and unlimit your beliefs if you will and unlimit your beliefs if you will and that is understanding the incredible that is understanding the incredible that is understanding the incredible power you have within yourself. When you power you have within yourself. When you power you have within yourself. When you sit there and say every day, I'm not sit there and say every day, I'm not sit there and say every day, I'm not worthy. I don't deserve love. It's not worthy. I don't deserve love. It's not worthy. I don't deserve love. It's not possible. I'm an impostor. I can't do possible. I'm an impostor. I can't do possible. I'm an impostor. I can't do it. It's as if you're building a prison it. It's as if you're building a prison it. It's as if you're building a prison for yourself with bricks. Wow. and the for yourself with bricks. Wow. and the for yourself with bricks. Wow. and the wall gets higher and it gets darker and wall gets higher and it gets darker and wall gets higher and it gets darker and you feel more and more powerless and you you feel more and more powerless and you you feel more and more powerless and you feel like there's some external force feel like there's some external force feel like there's some external force controlling your life. When you controlling your life. When you controlling your life. When you understand within you is an incredible understand within you is an incredible understand within you is an incredible power to change your destiny and you power to change your destiny and you power to change your destiny and you have that power and finally you have that power and finally you have that power and finally you recognize it then extraordinary things recognize it then extraordinary things recognize it then extraordinary things can happen. And this is how you go from can happen. And this is how you go from can happen. And this is how you go from you being in charge or let's say a you being in charge or let's say a you being in charge or let's say a belief that others are in charge to belief that others are in charge to belief that others are in charge to actually you being in charge. The key actually you being in charge. The key actually you being in charge. The key idea here is about overcoming the inner idea here is about overcoming the inner idea here is about overcoming the inner critic by realizing that you hold critic by realizing that you hold critic by realizing that you hold immense power within you to control your immense power within you to control your immense power within you to control your destiny. And this is hard because a lot destiny. And this is hard because a lot destiny. And this is hard because a lot of us have learned how to have an inner of us have learned how to have an inner of us have learned how to have an inner critic that pushes us down, that says, critic that pushes us down, that says, critic that pushes us down, that says, "Nah, you'll never amount to anything. "Nah, you'll never amount to anything. "Nah, you'll never amount to anything. You're insecure. You're stupid. You're You're insecure. You're stupid. You're You're insecure. You're stupid. You're not smart. You're ugly." Whatever not smart. You're ugly." Whatever not smart. You're ugly." Whatever insecurity we might have, for whatever insecurity we might have, for whatever insecurity we might have, for whatever reason, our inner critic has trained us reason, our inner critic has trained us reason, our inner critic has trained us to be loud. And until we train something to be loud. And until we train something to be loud. And until we train something else to overcome that, that is going to else to overcome that, that is going to else to overcome that, that is going to be the narrative running inside of our be the narrative running inside of our be the narrative running inside of our own minds consistently. own minds consistently. own minds consistently. So many people want more out of life. So many people want more out of life. So many people want more out of life. And I'm sure you want more out of life, And I'm sure you want more out of life, And I'm sure you want more out of life, more success, more love, more peace, more success, more love, more peace, more success, more love, more peace, more freedom.

Who do I think I am to have that? And Who do I think I am to have that? And Who do I think I am to have that? And that belief doesn't come from the now. that belief doesn't come from the now. that belief doesn't come from the now. It comes from the past. From childhood It comes from the past. From childhood It comes from the past. From childhood moments where love felt conditional for moments where love felt conditional for moments where love felt conditional for you maybe at different times from you maybe at different times from you maybe at different times from failures that turned into an identity failures that turned into an identity failures that turned into an identity instead of failure being feedback for instead of failure being feedback for instead of failure being feedback for you, which is what I talk about in the you, which is what I talk about in the you, which is what I talk about in the greatness mindset that failure is greatness mindset that failure is greatness mindset that failure is something that we should be excited something that we should be excited something that we should be excited about because it just gives us about because it just gives us about because it just gives us information, data. It gives you information, data. It gives you information, data. It gives you knowledge about what's working and knowledge about what's working and knowledge about what's working and what's not effective. But so many times what's not effective. But so many times what's not effective. But so many times people take a failure as their own people take a failure as their own people take a failure as their own identity as I am a failure. I'm not identity as I am a failure. I'm not identity as I am a failure. I'm not smart enough. I'm not good enough. I'm smart enough. I'm not good enough. I'm smart enough. I'm not good enough. I'm not talented enough. Therefore, I am a not talented enough. Therefore, I am a not talented enough. Therefore, I am a failure. We need to shift that. You need failure. We need to shift that. You need failure. We need to shift that. You need to not think about you as the failure to not think about you as the failure to not think about you as the failure just because you failed at something just because you failed at something just because you failed at something because you are going to fail at because you are going to fail at because you are going to fail at anything new you do. You failed at anything new you do. You failed at anything new you do. You failed at trying to walk as a baby a thousand trying to walk as a baby a thousand trying to walk as a baby a thousand times, but you never said, "I'm a times, but you never said, "I'm a times, but you never said, "I'm a failure and I give up on walking." You failure and I give up on walking." You failure and I give up on walking." You failed at talking. It probably took me, failed at talking. It probably took me, failed at talking. It probably took me, I don't know, 16 years to learn how to I don't know, 16 years to learn how to I don't know, 16 years to learn how to speak proper English because I was much speak proper English because I was much speak proper English because I was much slower. But now I'm speaking in front of slower. But now I'm speaking in front of slower. But now I'm speaking in front of millions of people every single week. millions of people every single week. millions of people every single week. You're not a failure just because you You're not a failure just because you You're not a failure just because you fail. We need to shift the identity from fail. We need to shift the identity from fail. We need to shift the identity from the outcome. the outcome. the outcome. You need failure to learn the skills and You need failure to learn the skills and You need failure to learn the skills and the tools. It gives you the information the tools. It gives you the information the tools. It gives you the information and the data. So don't make failures and the data. So don't make failures and the data. So don't make failures your identity from shame that taught us your identity from shame that taught us your identity from shame that taught us to play small and to stay safe. So we to play small and to stay safe. So we to play small and to stay safe. So we learn to prove we learn to I'm going to learn to prove we learn to I'm going to learn to prove we learn to I'm going to prove them wrong. I'm going to prove all prove them wrong. I'm going to prove all prove them wrong. I'm going to prove all these people. We learn to overwork. these people. We learn to overwork. these people. We learn to overwork.

And when you can open yourself up to this when you can open yourself up to this when you can open yourself up to this belief, it allows you to step fully into belief, it allows you to step fully into belief, it allows you to step fully into manifestation number two. And manifestation number two. And manifestation number two. And manifestation number two is this. I want manifestation number two is this. I want manifestation number two is this. I want you to repeat this. Today I will act as you to repeat this. Today I will act as you to repeat this. Today I will act as the person I want to become. the person I want to become. the person I want to become. Today I will act as the person I want to Today I will act as the person I want to Today I will act as the person I want to become. Now what does this actually become. Now what does this actually become. Now what does this actually mean? This is where manifestation mean? This is where manifestation mean? This is where manifestation becomes real. Manifestation is not about becomes real. Manifestation is not about becomes real. Manifestation is not about wanting. It's about practicing. And you wanting. It's about practicing. And you wanting.

Attraction comes to those that can Attraction comes to those that can Attraction comes to those that can actually follow through consistently. actually follow through consistently. actually follow through consistently. And I know it can be hard to think about And I know it can be hard to think about And I know it can be hard to think about what it means to truly become this new what it means to truly become this new what it means to truly become this new identity. So, I want to share this clip identity. So, I want to share this clip identity. So, I want to share this clip from my friend Jim Curtis because he from my friend Jim Curtis because he from my friend Jim Curtis because he shares the two powerful words that will shares the two powerful words that will shares the two powerful words that will make this shift stick. The I am is an make this shift stick. The I am is an make this shift stick. The I am is an incredibly powerful thing. First, let's incredibly powerful thing. First, let's incredibly powerful thing. First, let's talk about the I am as identity. So, our talk about the I am as identity. So, our talk about the I am as identity. So, our human identity when we say I am, it human identity when we say I am, it human identity when we say I am, it becomes reality. Our identity is our becomes reality. Our identity is our becomes reality. Our identity is our reality. So the I am, I am smart, I am reality. So the I am, I am smart, I am reality. So the I am, I am smart, I am successful, I am grateful, I'm going to successful, I am grateful, I'm going to successful, I am grateful, I'm going to do this, I'm figuring it out is much do this, I'm figuring it out is much do this, I'm figuring it out is much different than I am stuck, I am going to different than I am stuck, I am going to different than I am stuck, I am going to be laughed at, I'm not good at this, I'm be laughed at, I'm not good at this, I'm be laughed at, I'm not good at this, I'm incapable, right? The shift, what you incapable, right? The shift, what you incapable, right?

And I think one of the reasons >> Yeah. And I think one of the reasons that one of the things that trips people that one of the things that trips people that one of the things that trips people up is they try too hard. Like they're up is they try too hard. Like they're up is they try too hard. Like they're trying too hard, but you know, we trying too hard, but you know, we trying too hard, but you know, we deserve everything that we could deserve everything that we could deserve everything that we could possibly want. And so there's no, you possibly want. And so there's no, you possibly want. And so there's no, you know, the universe to be to put it, you know, the universe to be to put it, you know, the universe to be to put it, you know, sweetly kind of the universe wants know, sweetly kind of the universe wants know, sweetly kind of the universe wants us to have everything and to live a full us to have everything and to live a full us to have everything and to live a full life.

Right. Right. So, and those kinds of Right. Right. So, and those kinds of Right. Right. So, and those kinds of things we all tend to love anyway. Um things we all tend to love anyway. Um things we all tend to love anyway. Um learning things and accomplishing things learning things and accomplishing things learning things and accomplishing things and building and building and building you know, businesses and all of those you know, businesses and all of those you know, businesses and all of those kinds of things. But we do not we kinds of things. But we do not we kinds of things. But we do not we certainly do not need to put as much certainly do not need to put as much certainly do not need to put as much effort into all of that. Like it effort into all of that. Like it effort into all of that. Like it everything everything is coming from the everything everything is coming from the everything everything is coming from the mental first. mental first. mental first.
