When it comes to weight loss, no two people are the same. That's why Noom builds personalized plans based on your unique psychology and biology. Take Brittany. After years of unsustainable diets, Noom helped her lose 20 pounds and keep it off. I was definitely in a yo-yo cycle for years of just losing weight, gaining weight, and it was exhausting. And Stephanie. She's a former D1 athlete who knew she couldn't out-train her diet, and she lost 38 pounds.

My relationship to food before Noom was never consistent. And Evan, he can't stand salads, but he still lost 50 pounds with Noom. I never really was a salad guy. That's just not who I am. Even through the pickiness, Noom taught me that building better habits builds a healthier lifestyle. I'm not doing this to get to a number. I'm doing this to feel better.

In this lesson, you will hear powerful stories from Dr. Andrew Huberman, Bob Proctor, Dr. Joe Dispenza, and more to learn about manifestation and the law of attraction.

It's really an inner game and I think that's what's missing for us today. Everybody's focusing on the outside world and hell, there's a lot of things in the outside world you'll never be able to control. You can influence, but you can't control it. Your mind, your emotions, your body. You have 100% control over what you do with these things and that's where the game is won. You win the inner game, then you win the outer game. I never had any success in sports until I first had them in my mind.

I learned to do creative visualization, visualizing things that hadn't happened yet. Remember, fear is physical. You feel your throat or your gut. So is courage. Courage doesn't mean you're not afraid. It just means you're strong enough. You push through in spite of the fear, right? When you push your mind to go beyond what's comfortable, you feel a strength inside you and that strength will help you to change your body, your emotions, your relationships, whatever. Vividly imagined experiences.

Your brain can't tell the difference than a real experience. And that's how I first got into seeing my success. So I did a few hypnotherapy sessions with him. And that's when I started to use visualization, seeing myself be successful on the football field, seeing myself make the tackle. I went back the sophomore year and played football. And the only thing I did differently

was I did the visualization daily as part of my routine. And that year I went from the previous year I quit the football team, didn't play, to one year later, and in my sophomore year I was the most viable player. I learned at a young age the power of the mind. I really learned to believe that, you know, in life it's an inside game.

Too often you're out there pointing the finger. I didn't make it because that person. I didn't make it because of that coach. The reason you don't make it is because you do not have mastery and control of your emotions and your mental mind to get yourself to do the stuff you need to do to get the results. And that was my breakthrough moment and that was my breakthrough tool.

that would blow your mind how your brain is conditioned or primed by the environment and how many people's brains live in fear most people just don't understand that you are being primed all the time and unless you prime yourself you're going to be primed by the environment leaders anticipate losers react if you can anticipate what's coming you can really take advantage if you wait till it hits you you're in trouble i saw myself on the football field

you know, making the play. And I made it very sensorily aware. I was sacking the quarterback. I could smell the grass. I could look over and see my parents cheering. And I kept doing this work over and over again. And eventually my body caught up and I started to become a good football player.

That psychological difference is the number one thing I work with people on because unless you expand your identity, you're going to basically keep where you are. You might improve a little or not. You might go up and down a bit, but you're going to stay within a realm. If you're going to have an explosive breakthrough to another level physically, mentally, financially, spiritually,

then we gotta not only give you the tools, we gotta shift that internal sense of who you really are and have you find that you are more than anything that's ever happened to you, that you can handle whatever shows up, even if it's incredibly scary or uncomfortable. - There is no secret. - Yeah. - You know, everyone's looking for a secret. I would have told myself that. Everyone's looking for a secret, for a shortcut. There are no secrets. - Yeah. - Just wake up every day and you do the damn work. And it's gonna suck.

you're not going to like it some days, but when you can learn to love the feeling of doing the work as much as you hate doing the work, you know what I mean? If you can learn to love that feeling of accomplishment after doing the work as much as sometimes you hate doing the work, if you can connect those, that allows you to do the work. I told, I tell my 12 year old all the time, I said, you know, just start, just start.

We get into these, you know, he pushes back against me. He's a great soccer player. He pushes back. Oh, you know, I said, hey, just get on the treadmill.

And we'll have 20 minutes of pouting, this and that, before he goes and does it. And I just say, you could have already been done. You've already been done. I said, the hardest part a lot of times is just getting yourself to start. But if you can learn to get yourself to start, you don't feel like it when you're tired and you don't want to. That's the key to success is to be able to get yourself to start, right? You've got to get to the gym.

The hard part is not to work out sometimes. The hard part is saying no to the girlfriend. The hard part is turning off the video game. The hard part is turning off the football game. The hard part is saying no to your friends who want to go to the beach so you can go do the work that you need to do. But once you get there and you're doing the work, that's usually not the hard part. Michael Jordan making a thousand shots before you take a break.

Every single day, six days a week. So you look at Jordan or you look at, you know, LeBron or you look at anybody who's the best in the world at what they do and you go, aren't they lucky? But if you actually study them, you'll see they're doing things. They're practicing in private things that make them certain in public and they get rewarded for what they do in public. Yeah. People say to me, I have no self-esteem. I hate that word.

So overused and abused. I don't have any self-esteem because when I was growing up, my parents said these terrible things and those terrible things. And I said, isn't it convenient you only remember those things? They said a million things, but suddenly you've honed in on those. But let's get real. Someone can tell your whole life you're a piece of crap. You can say, screw you, read between the lines and make your life work. Someone tell your whole life you're beautiful, you're intelligent, you're the smartest person in the world and you don't believe it.

Because self-esteem doesn't come from what people say about you. Self-esteem is earned within yourself. It's esteem for yourself which only comes by doing things that are incredibly difficult and then your brain goes, "This is who I am." The thing about transformation is you have to do it. You've got to put in the work when nobody cares.

Nobody cared if I practiced. Nobody cared if I worked out. I didn't have parents who were like, "Hey, you know, Dan, you gotta go to the gym." "Oh, hey, Dan, you know, go out and run some sprints." Nobody cared. If you want to transform, you have to do the work if nobody cares. There's only one person who has to care, and that's you. You've got to care. You've got to want it. And the reason

I think is different for everybody to want. Some comes out of pain. Some comes out of, you know, I want to prove somebody wrong. And then I think some people just have that switch inside.

The fire walk was again giving you an experience of something that seemed difficult or impossible and then you get yourself to do it and your brain goes, "Wait a second, if I could do that, what else could I get myself to do?" That psychological shift is the most important shift that people can make. It's a shift in your identity. Most people's identity, their labels for themselves, who they think they are, has been based on their past and often many years ago. And so they don't update it. So the metaphor I'd give for identity is like,

It's your comfort zone. It's not your goals. So I think that one of the most important questions that we should all ask ourselves anytime we want to learn or we want to relax or we want to sleep or we're in a situation where we need to receive

hard information, whatever it is, is ask ourselves, you know, where are we on this continuum of alertness and sleep? So when we're fast asleep, we actually can learn in sleep. But basically we learn best when we are focused and alert, but not too stressed. And then when we cycle that with periods of deep rest and not just sleep, but when we go into states of

They can be shallow naps. It can be meditation, but really it's going into a state of what is most easily thought of as wordlessness. So I would say as people listen to all the words coming through the airways on this, or they watch this, once they get to a point where they feel like, okay, that's a lot of information, it might be dense, or I just want to consolidate that or get the most out of it, it's

It's fine to just go into a state of wordlessness, pause it, just let your mind drift for a little bit. And then the mind likes to focus back on things. It likes to focus on and off things. In this culture, we do not teach people how to operate their mind and body. And it leads to all sorts of problems, stress, anxiety disorders, ADD. There is no guidebook for social interactions, for sexual development. It's a huge problem. And I think that...

The brain is harder to identify like a user's manual, right? Because it's always meditation, consciousness, high-level concepts. What do dreams mean? The really interesting stuff. But I like that we're starting with physiology because what's nice about these core mechanisms of brain-body is that they are real things. Like if we could...

point to the neurons. These are things in the textbooks. There's nothing mysterious. It doesn't require any learning. Like once you know how to do it, it works the first time it works every time. And that's the other thing. Kids don't learn to direct their own state.

They don't know they can do it. And we give people all these mantras about resilience and mindfulness. And these are powerful terms. What we, we tell people just do it, but what we don't do is give them tools to access these States more readily. And for people that are lucky enough to have the time or the, or come into contact with people that help guide them down a path, like they get some crucible experience early in life where they go, wow, I felt like I was very close to death or close to panic. And I recovered myself.

It's powerful. The hallmark of growth mindset is really two things. One is I'm not where I want to be now, but I'm capable of getting there eventually. The other is to attach a sense of reward to the effort process itself. And if you look at true high performers, people that are consistently good at what they do, they don't peak and go through the postpartum depression and crash and come back and their life is a cycle of ups and downs. But really people who are on that upward trajectory consistently

Those people attach dopamine to the effort process. On the discovery of growth mindset was these kids that love doing math problems that they knew they couldn't get right. So it's like the people love puzzles, but in this case, they knew they couldn't get it right, but they love doing it. And incidentally or not so incidentally, these kids are fantastic at math when there is a right answer because they feel some sense of reward from the effort process. Now, the cool thing about dopamine is

is that it's very subjectively controlled. We can all learn to secrete dopamine in our brain in response to things that are in a purely subjective way. But it has to be attached to reality. So, you know, if you're thinking about the effort you're expending, so let's say somebody right now is financially back on their heels and they're setting up a new business, for instance, and it's hard.

If they can take a few moments or minutes each day to reflect on the fact that the effort process is allowing them to climb out of their hole potentially, that it's giving them an opportunity, that it's somehow they are on the right path or if they're not in movement along that path or at least oriented on the right path, they're not lying in bed all day. If they can reward that process internally, two things happen.

First of all, the brain circuits that are associated with building subjective rewards and dopamine get stronger. So you get better at that process. And second, and most importantly, dopamine has an amazing ability to buffer adrenaline and buffer epinephrine. And so then you're expending effort, but you're doing it from a place of feeling like you have energy for it. Everything works best on a backdrop of good sleep. Unless you need to be nocturnal, avoid bright light exposure from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m.,

It's not the end of the world if you get up and use the bathroom or you, you know, briefly turn on the lights. But there are studies showing that bright light exposure in the middle of the night, it punishes you by suppressing dopamine the next day and the next day. So try and get good night's sleep, you know, master your sleep. And that's a whole other discussion. But that basically means getting as much bright light as is safely possible in your eyes in the morning and daytime and as little in your eyes after about 10 p.m. And don't give up the great party. I would say, you know,

Great things happen between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. in life. So you don't want to live like a monk, you know, but you wake up in the morning and I think it's, you know, some people wake up more slowly than others. Bright light exposure, hydration is going to help. A lot of this stuff is in your book. These are because they get right to core physiology. If morning time is the time when you start to feel some agitation, meaning you're alert, and then it's time to do your work.

right? It's, it's the press field thing. It's time to do the work. And that resistance is expected. It's normal. It's healthy. And you should almost see it as like a friend along the way with you. It's like a irritating friend that's poking you and trying to distract you, pushing back on you and you can make it playful. But there is a time to be serious about work. It's like, this is yours and you don't want to squander it. So I say, lean into that work,

And understand that if it goes pretty well today, it's going to go even better the next day because these are, I think what people forget about neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to change itself in response to experience is that the circuits for focus also are subject to neuroplasticity. So the more you feel that discomfort in focus, the more easily focus comes the next day and the next day. And pretty soon,

If something interrupts you for even a minute, it's going to feel irritating. But do yourself a favor and look back and realize that in a short period of time, this won't take 100 days. We're talking about three, four days. You're going to be creating and working at a level that's far more efficient and productive than before. Don't ask, are you worthy of the goal? Ask, is the goal worthy of you? You're trading your life for it. You want to have a goal that's worth failing for.

An ideal is an idea that you have fallen in love with. You see, the beautiful truth is you and I have more potential than we will ever understand. We've got phenomenal powers. Intuition is an intellectual factor. It's like perception, the will, reason, imagination, memory, and intuition. These are higher faculties. These are the faculties that separate us from all of the rest of the animal kingdom.

All the rest of the animal kingdom is completely at home in their environment. They blend in. You and I are totally disoriented in our environment. And that is because we've been given the godlike ability to create our own environment. You and I are spiritual beings. And if we are not inspired to do something, it's because we're not thinking of who we are. The essence of us is spirit. And spirit's always for expansion and fuller expression.

He gets into that so beautifully in the area of imagination. He said it's the most marvelous, miraculous, inconceivably powerful force the world's ever known. It's the imagination that permits us to move into the spiritual essence of who we are. It's your imagination that takes the idea that comes to your consciousness and that spirit wanting to express itself right away through you. Because spirit's always for expansion and fuller expression. And so it's the raising of our conscious awareness

He'll found this out. He writes about it. That's what changes our life. We're spiritual beings. We've been gifted with an intellect and we live in a physical body. Everything we own at the time of our death is going to belong to someone else. So it's not what we own. We're merely custodians. It's what we do with our life that makes a difference.

You've got to be persistent. And he gives us a very simple formula here. He said there are four simple steps which lead to the habit of persistence. Number one, a definite purpose backed by a burning desire for its fulfillment. Number two, a definite plan expressed in continuous action.

Number three, a mind, this is very important, closed tightly against all negative and discouraging influences, including negative suggestions of relatives, friends, and acquaintances. And number four, a friendly alliance with one or more persons who will encourage one to follow through with both plan and purpose. He said these four steps are essential for success in all walks of life. When you start studying Napoleon Hill's work,

and you really start to get into the spirit of it, you're going to be inspired because that's what inspiration is. It's in spirit. And get into the spirit of his work. He had one objective. He wanted to wake you up. He wanted to wake me up. He did wake me up. Hopefully you're awake as well. And as you start studying into this,

you'll start to realize there is literally no end to what you're capable of doing. He said, "Ideas are intangible forces, but they have more power than the physical brains that gave birth to them. They have the power to live on long after the brain has created them has turned to dust." Napoleon Hill's been dead since 1970, but the idea that his brain developed

and work with lives on because of people like me, because of people like you, because of the people that are putting this documentary together. This could be the most important book in your library. When I set a new goal, I have difficulty believing I can do it. Intellectually, I've studied this long enough, then I know I can't. But it isn't your intellect that does it.

If it was the intellect that does it, our school system would be screaming successful. But we've got people graduating from universities all over the world. They've got an enormous amount of knowledge in their intellect, and yet they're losing. They're broke. They can't find work. So it's not your intellect. Intellectually, I've studied this long enough to know that if I can see it in my mind, I can do it. You've got to believe it in your heart. You see, the heart is what the early Greeks referred to

the heart as the subconscious mind. There's a whole chapter in here on the subconscious mind and it's very, very powerful because until you internalize the idea, it isn't going to happen. You see, you can want something once or of a conscious nature. That's your intellectual part of your personality.

The desire is the idea in your subconscious mind seeking expression outside through your action. Desire is when you've internalized the idea. You've got to believe you can do it on a subconscious level. You can come to believe it through repetition. If you take what you want and start to imagine yourself with it, the imagination enables you to go into the future and bring the future into the present. You've got to act like the person

you want to become. Well, when we do that and do it over and over, you come to believe. We operate on the premise that everyone thinks, and the very truth is that very few people think. My old employer and mentor, Earl Nightingale, often said that if the average person said what they were thinking, they would be speechless. The late and great educator, Dr. Kenneth McFarland, said 2% of the people think, 3% think they think,

and 95% would actually rather die than think. You know, Henry Ford said, "Thinking is the hardest work there is, "which is the probable reason so few people engage in it." Thinking is the highest function that you and I are capable of. The problem is very few courses teach thinking. You see, an idea is a thought or a collection of thoughts directed towards a purpose.

Most people would never do what they're doing if they're thinking. Listen to the average conversation that's going on. People would never say what they were saying if they were thinking. No, the truth is that thinking is not something everybody gets involved in. But you start studying this material and I can assure you one thing, you will begin to think. If a person's going to accomplish anything of any consequence in their life, they have to get into the spirit of it.

In other words, I think we have to understand where does the information come from? Where does the energy come from to create things? Well, we go to spirit. Spirit flows to and through us and we can think the highest function that we're capable of and we build an image in our mind.

Then we have to be true to that image. We have to use our will to hold that picture on the screen of the mind. And we turn the image back over to spirit which is within us. Through the reciprocal law of spirit, it gives it back to us in physical form. Now this is truly getting into the spirit of the thing. That is what being inspired is all about. And all great work came about because someone was inspired to do it. All the great paintings, Rembrandt,

Van Gogh, all of them, they were inspired to do the great work. We have to understand that whatever Rembrandt or Van Gogh used, we have available to us. We're God's highest form of creation. Spirit flows to and through us. It's our responsibility to decide what we're going to do with it. I think we've got an obligation to do great work. We're only here for a short time, not a long time. And we've got the faculties and the ability to do great work.

I think we should. I had no idea of the power of the mind. I had no idea of the power of the mind to manifest and the power of the mind to sabotage us, to harm us.

but I'm really clear about it now. And so those things are the greatest things that I would say for anybody. The world is different from what it appears to be with the observer effect and nothing comes into form unless there's a mind observing it. And they're like, you've just got to look, you've just got to change your perspective ever so slightly. We see the world is solid and us as separate, but if we just shift our perspective ever so slightly,

we see something entirely different that is completely freeing. You might be really broke. Gee, I was when I was making The Secret. Money would come into my hands, it would slip through my fingers, you know, things would break down. You might not have any money and you're trying to instill wealth and prosperity and riches. That work talks about the power of the mind and the power of thought. And that's the biggest, biggest thing, is to open yourself to the possibility that everything isn't the way it appears to be.

And so even if you can just open yourself to that possibility, just for a moment, you can pick up it all the next day. You can take it all with you the next day, that it's all real and everything that you're seeing. But if you just for a moment open to the possibility that things might not be the way that you think they are, then you have the greatest opportunity

to really discover something incredible. And so I really simplify it and the law of attraction because I would say to anybody, if you would just think about what you want, that's all you'd ever get in your life. And the most extraordinary thing is this, is that the more effortless you are,

the greater you manifest everything that you ever dreamt of. To create our physical world, a material world, and then the greater secret takes that to a whole new level actually.

And so then you really get to see that, oh my gosh, it's super easy. Create anything I want. Like really, so easy. Because if we have a belief it's hard, then it's going to be hard, you know? And so it has everything to do with our mind and what we believe. And so if we believe a thought, it will manifest. End of story.

The mind is like a computer program and the fact that it's on a negative loop is because we programmed it on a negative loop. But you know, we could have been influenced when we were children and things like that. So one of the things that the mind loves is it loves repetition. I mean, it loves it. You know, if you really watch your thoughts, this is the same old thoughts over and over again, you know, it's just kind of dishing up the same old thing. So it loves repetition. So the way you can override a program is to put in the opposite, you know, and when you start out,

feel like you're lying, you'll say something like, you know, you might be really broke. Gee, I was when I was making The Secret, so...

you might not have any money and you're trying to instill wealth and prosperity and riches. And every time you say it, you feel a contraction in your body because you know you don't have it. But truly, because I did it myself, after a while you change it, you really begin to change it and you don't quite have that contraction anymore. And then you start to see money coming in in different ways. Those negative thoughts are coming from beliefs held in the subconscious mind.

They stem mostly from our childhood conditioning. You need to know who you are so that you don't doubt yourself because the one that is doubting is the ego, the one that is doubting is the mind and it's not who we are.

So then you've got to become very aware of your thoughts. That one that is doubting, the negative thoughts, they're all coming from the ego, all of them, because who you are would never have a negative thought ever, ever. Who you are would never judge who you are. It doesn't have, who you are is allowing and accepting.

So all of those things are coming from the ego and they are not who you are. And that voice in your head that you hear, that voice that's, you know, so familiar to you and seems to know an awful lot about you and sounds like you, that voice is not you. That voice is just a program.

I had been brought up with, "We can't afford it. We don't have enough." You know, and money would come into my hands. It would slip through my fingers. You know, things would break down. The universe would do all these things to get the money out of my hands. It was just like, "Phew!" Yeah. Yeah, because I had this belief that I did not have an abundant amount of money. I tried many things. I was experimenting with it. So, I mean, I would just walk down the street and say, "There's prosperity out there. I'm breathing in prosperity. I do all these

affirmations, you know, I'm breathing in prosperity with every breath I take. I am, my substance is prosperity. I am abundant. I am worthy, you know, and so I would say all these affirmations, I would have them all pinned up around the apartment that I was staying in. And so that I would see them and read them every day. I used to do this thing whereby

I would do gratitude and I would listen to music and I would do all of as many things as I could until I felt really, really good. And I would just say to myself, I am abundant and nothing would object. No thought would object. And I'm like, right.

Now's the time to open the mail, right? I'm feeling really, really good. And so then I would open the bills and I would look at each one as though it was a check, not a bill. Do you know that that was on a Friday and on the Monday I received $25,000 in my account from a place that I never, ever, ever could have expected. Wow.

The work is an inside job. It is. If all of those thoughts are coming up from you, but they're beating up on me, they're this, you've got feelings of unworthiness inside of you. This is why it's manifesting. None of those things are true. People are way more magnificent than they realize that they are. They have all the power in the world. The mind, unfortunately, it is just our greatest tool

to create the life that we want to have, but we're in a duality, so it is equally can be our torture. I just didn't want to suffer anymore. That was really the moment for me. Like I sought the truth. I was seeking the truth because I wanted a way out of suffering. And you know, I've got an incredible life. When I talk about suffering, what I mean is suffering from the mind.

not suffering from what's happening in the world, suffering from the mind. It's not the world, it's the mind. What you resist persists, right? And so I came to understand that if we resisted negative feelings, then we just push them down inside of us and suppress them.

and then they would just be sparking off at every little thing, you know. If you've got anger suppressed inside of you, you can bet there's going to be a whole lot of things in the world that are going to trigger that anger that is pushed down inside of you. And so I actually intuitively worked out that if I welcomed a negative feeling, like imagine like putting my arms around it and bringing it in close to me, what was so amazing, it would intensify for like

one second to two seconds, and then it would just evaporate. One by one.

as a negative feeling would arise, I would welcome it, it would dissolve, and then if it came back, it would just never be as strong like it was. It was like really weak. And so then I'd welcome it again until I don't feel it anymore. I don't think it's possible for me to get angry anymore. So there are two things that really, really work both brilliantly. One is gratitude.

you can do so much gratitude that will just wipe out those feelings. And the other thing is,

Somebody who's feeling all of those things has a base of unworthiness, and so what will take that out is love. If you go about just looking through the day and looking for all of the things you love, I love that about that person. You know, I love this time of the year when this is happening. Just look at all of the things that you love and really rampage it.

every day because as you send out all of that love, it gets multiplied and will come back into you and gone are the feelings of unworthiness.

The biggest, biggest thing in our life for everybody is to become aware of your thoughts. Everything in the universe is conspiring to send us home. And so, and the way to get us home is to have challenges so that we question things and so that we open up. If I can do it, anyone can do it. All you have to do is you keep doing it until you do not feel any more lack anymore. And what will bring you everlasting happiness is to know the truth about everything.

and to know the truth about who you are and that will bring you everlasting happiness. And the manifestation of the world becomes even more incredible than it was. And when you're not fearful, you love so deeply

you know, the love that you have is so deep. And so here you are in this state of total allowing and, you know, and I don't mind what happens. And you just got this undercurrent of happiness. Well, just imagine what law of attraction does with that. What would be the next three steps they should take after listening or watching to this in life? Right. So mentally, you have to be ready to find your peace of mind.

So you can start counting your blessings, start appreciating what you have and enjoy the flow of happy money. So when money comes in, you can say thank you for the money given to me. When you pay for the bills, thank you, I have enough abundance so I can pay the bills and start blessing people that you're giving money to.

So by doing that, you can find your peace of mind. Yes. And whatever you do, I think that's the basic. That's number one. That's the base. And also, secondly, you have to start figuring out your inventory, what you have and who you are. What type of inventory? Both emotional and also your gift inventory.

I never knew I could write until I was 33. Really? My parents were so surprised, and my brother and sister, and many of my...

friends were so surprised that I became an author. Now I was the one who gets surprised most by the way. So I didn't know until I started writing. So I'm sure you have some kind of gifts buried in you and you have to multiply them because only single gift is not taking you far.

But if you can multiply your gifts of speaking, for example, and also listening and a sense of humor and the care, generosity, if you combine all of them, you become so unique. Yes. So once you become so unique, people start just coming to you.

Because you're more attractive. Right. Yeah. Okay. So that's number two is find out your inventory of your assets and your gifts. And I'm also assuming your inventory of like how much money you have, your investments. But it's not so important. Okay. Because if you are not making much, it's not right. Right. What skills do you have? Yeah. Skills. Yeah. Right. So if your net asset is less than...

$300,000, don't worry about investing. I think you should invest in yourself. Invest in you. And take your friends out for dinner because it's going to pay more dividend. Be generous with your energy, your time, your gifts. Yes. And then the third step would be start getting support from everybody. Everybody.

You know, I have, say, for example, more than 10,000 people sending me money every month as a form of subscription online salon. Yes. So, and I haven't promised anything to do for them. So it's just a love money. So can, you know. Which is what type of money? Love money. Love money. Yeah. So 10,000 people pay you money every month. Yes. Just because they love you. Yeah. That's how I feel.

So I have enough trust from people. So the happy money, so almost like

is given in my custody so I can help other people. That's cool. So if you start getting fan clubs or cheerleaders, cheer supporters, so you can start with five people and you can start having 10 people, 30 people. So the next economy will be very interesting because a lot of people support one another. So instead of working for one big company, say I have 300 people supporting me. Right.

Say, and you can increase your monthly support money, say $100 per month. You know, if I get a support from 30 people, $100 a month, that's $3,000. And if you get 50 people who are supporting you with $100, you already have a $5,000 income. So whatever you do, you don't have to be the next entrepreneur of the world.

you can satisfy or at least you can have deep connection with 50 people or 100 people who love you so much and who's not going to let you down when you fall. So if you have that strong trust from people, you don't have to worry about money for the rest of your life. Financial goals people come up with, it's because they want to feel safe, sense of security.

So you don't need to have a goal of $1 million because when you reach $1 million, you feel like this is not enough. I need more, right? I need two. And when you reach $2 million, no, no, no, I think I should have three. Yeah, three. Yeah. So instead, what I would recommend, imagine a joint account with your wealthiest acquaintance.

You can think of me. For me, I think of my mentor, Wahid Takeda, or Warren Buffett. Think about your imaginary joint account. And when something bad happens, you can withdraw as much money as you want. Really? So this fun illusion, imagination. What does that do for you when you have that imagination? You feel that you're not alone.

Just imagine if you get that sense of security. You know, "Louis, I'm gonna just keep you afloat as long as I live."

So go for it. - Okay, I'll text you if I need you, Ken. - Yeah, so if you get an endorsement from wealthy people like that, you don't have to worry about it. Just imagine. - How does someone get an endorsement from someone who has a lot of money like that? What can they do? - I think you have to live your life purposes. That's another subject. But if you are living your life purpose, a lot of people support you. - In my mind, wealth is an emotion.

You know, it doesn't really matter how much you have, how much you make. Because I've interviewed over the course of my career, I've interviewed many millionaires and billionaires, and some of them are very unhappy and very upset with everything. And also among the people who are struggling with life, there are also happy people and unhappy people. So I think wealth is an attitude. If you feel like you're so happy and so content with what you have, you are already wealthy.

But if you have to struggle every day and you cannot find happiness either in your business or in personal life, I think you're not wealthy even if you have billions in your bank account.

The people with the radiance of appreciation often attracts more people and more opportunities. So this is not a new age or spiritual thing. It's a practice to appreciate more. So what you appreciate, appreciates. What should we be thinking about instead of like, I want to make a million dollars? Should we be reframing that in a different way?

First of all, you really have to figure out what you want in your life. So do you want to be a happy person or do you want to be a wealthy person? You can take both. But the way to happy and wealthy people only has an opening.

who aim for happiness first. I love this because most people think once I'm there, then I'll be happy, then I'll respect myself, then I'll get the attention I want. What I'm hearing you say is the only way to happy and wealthy is through happiness first. Yes. And then if you're lucky or if it's your destiny, I would say you may be rewarded with money.

Money is the end result of what we get after serving the world. So instead of focusing on what you get, you have to really focus on what you give. And our life is in the middle of giving and receiving. So unless we receive well, unless we give well, we can't receive. So we are in this cycle of appreciation or resentment, either cycle you're in,

your life exists. So if you start appreciating your life about everything, including money, your life will be filled with money and appreciation. If your life will be filled with resentment, anger and fear around money and also around life, your life will be also surrounded by fear and resentment and anxiety.

Whatever you invest could end up in half or 30% down. So instead, I recommend people start looking at invisible assets. Because what if you lose everything overnight? If you have gold, what if the government tries to take away to pay all the bills and stuff? Which is really happening in China, by the way. Really?

If that happens, I guess you have to be prepared for unthinkable situations. But as I said, if you have so many friends who can support you financially or emotionally, you're okay. So instead of having so much money in the bank account, you should have the trust and strong connections with friends around you and also reputation with your clients.

So, whatever happens, if you have the strong connections with people around you, you can start over.

From zero. I asked you this in our last interview. I said, okay, Ken, imagine you've lost all your money right now and you had to make a million dollars in a year. I don't know if you remember your answer, but I asked you this and you said, I said, what would you do? And you said, well, I would just call my friends up and say, can you give me money?

I'd call 10, 20 of my friends up and say, can you give me $100,000 each? Or can I stay in your house for free? And you would offer a service to those wealthy friends that you've created trust and invisible assets with. Right. And sell them something new or whatever it might be. And it's because you have great relationships. Right. That's why you can do that. Yes. So what I'm hearing you say, Ken, is it's important to...

invest in yourself which is developing more credibility respect and a better reputation with your friends your colleagues the industry you're in your team things like that so if that happens you'll be able to get something going again yeah so in a sense I am having a huge deposit to

to people's heart. I have given away my booklet for free to 2.3 million people. So I have a list of those people that I have given away, right? And so they feel like they owe me. That's why they're buying my books and courses. So I have a huge sort of invisible asset and trust.

already saved up and I've been giving away for so many things for the past 20 years. I've done lectures for free. I've done so many volunteer work for the people who are in need. So I have this reputation and trust among people

So in the next situation, so whatever happens, I can say, I'm going to talk about the next situation and how we can build our assets in the new currency system, new financial system. A lot of people want to listen to me.

So I have built enough credibility. So that's why I'm not afraid of going bankrupt because if I go bankrupt, I can say the joy of bankruptcy. You know, I can just say eight steps to recover from bankruptcy. You have a new book. Right, whatever that is. Because what I did and I'll teach you how to do it. Right, so I'm not worried about anything at all. People grab their cell phone.

They check their WhatsApp, they check their texts, they check their emails, they check Facebook, they tweet something, they do Instagram, they check the news, and now they feel really connected to everything that's known in their life. And then they go through a series of routine behaviors. They get out of bed on the same side, they go to the toilet, they get a cup of coffee, they take a shower, they get dressed, they drive to work the same way, they do the same things, they see the same people, they push the same emotional buttons, and that becomes the routine, and it becomes like a program.

So now they've lost their free will to a program and there's no unseen hand doing it to them. So when it comes time to change, the redundancy of that cycle becomes a subconscious program. Most people then wait for crisis or trauma or disease or diagnosis, you know, they wait for loss, some tragedy to make up their mind to change. And my message is why wait?

You can learn and change in a state of pain and suffering, or you can learn and change in a state of joy and inspiration. I think right now, the cool thing is that people are waking up. If you're not being defined by a vision of the future, then you're left with the old memories of the past, and you will be predictable in your life. 95% of who we are by the time we're 35 years old

is a memorized set of behaviors, emotional reactions, unconscious habits, hardwired attitudes, beliefs and perceptions that function like a computer program. So then a person can say with their 5% of their conscious mind, I want to be healthy, I want to be happy, I want to be free. But the body is on a whole different program. How you think and how you feel creates your state of being. By closing your eyes and mentally rehearsing some actions,

If you're truly present, the brain does not know the difference between what you're imaging and what you're experiencing. So then you begin to install the neurological hardware in your brain to look like the event has already occurred. Now, your brain is no longer a record of the past. Now it's a map to the future. And if you keep doing it, priming it that way, the hardware becomes a software program. And who knows? You just may start acting like a happy person. And then I think the hardest part is to teach our body emotionally.

what the future will feel like ahead of the actual experience. The hardest part about change is not making the same choice as you did the day before, period. And the moment you decide to make a different choice, get ready because it's going to feel uncomfortable.

So if you think 60 to 70,000 thoughts in one day and we do and 90% of those thoughts are the same thoughts as the day before and you believe that your thoughts have something to do with your destiny, your life's not going to change very much because the same thought leads to the same choice, the same choice leads to the same behavior, the same behavior creates the same experience and the same experience produces the same emotion. Turns out most people spend 70% of their life living in survival and living in stress so they're always anticipating

the worst case scenario based on a past experience and they're literally out of the infinite potentials in the quantum field they're selecting the worst possible outcome and they're beginning to emotionally embrace it with fear and they're conditioning their body into a state of fear. Do that enough times, body has a panic attack without you. You can't even predict it because it's programmed subconsciously. When people say to me, "Well I can't predict my future."

I'm in the unknown and I always say the best way to predict your future is to create it. Not from the known, but from the unknown. What thoughts do you want to fire and wire in your brain? The Newtonian world is all about the predictable. It's all about predicting a future. But the quantum model of reality is about causing an effect.

The moment you start feeling abundant and worthy, you are generating wealth. The moment you're empowered and feel it, you're beginning to step towards your success. The moment you start feeling whole, your healing begins. And when you love yourself and you love all of life, you'll create an equal. Now you're causing an effect.

And I think that's the difference between living as a victim in your world saying, "I am this way because of this person or that thing or this experience. They made me think and feel this way." When you switch that around, you become a creator of your world and you start saying, "My thinking and my feeling is changing an outcome in my life." No, that's a whole different game and we start believing more that we're creators of reality.

A habit is a redundant set of automatic unconscious thoughts, behaviors and emotions that's acquired through repetition. So if you think about it, people wake up in the morning, they begin to think about their problems. Those problems are circuits of memories in the brain. Each one of those memories are connected to people and things at certain times and places. And if the brain is a record of the past,

The moment they start their day, they're already thinking in the past. Each one of those memories has an emotion. Emotions are the end product of past experiences. So the moment they recall those memories of their problems, they all of a sudden feel unhappy, they feel sad, they feel pain. Now, how you think and how you feel creates your state of being. So the person's entire state of being when they start their day is in the past. So what does that mean? The familiar past will sooner or later be predictable future.

So, if you believe that your thoughts have something to do with your destiny and you can't think greater than how you feel or feelings have become the means of thinking, by very definition of emotions, you're thinking in the past. And for the most part, you're going to keep creating the same life. I think that the bigger thing is that we keep firing and wiring those circuits, they become more hardwired. So, you have a thought and then the program runs.

But it's the emotion that follows the thought if you have a if you have a fearful thought you're gonna feel anxiety The moment you feel anxiety your brains checking in with your body and saying yeah, you're pretty anxious So then you start thinking more corresponding thoughts equal to how you feel well the redundancy of that cycle conditions the body to become the mind so now when it comes time to change

person steps into that river of change and they make a different choice and all of a sudden they don't feel the same way.

So the body says, well, you've been doing this for 35 years. You're going to just stop suffering and stop feeling guilty and stop feeling shameful. And you're not going to complain or blame or make excuses or feel sorry for yourself. Well, the body's in the unknown. So the body says, I want to return back to familiar territory. So the body starts influencing the mind. And it says, start tomorrow. You're too much like your mother. You'll never change. This isn't going to work for you. This doesn't feel right.

And so if you respond to that thought as if it's true, that same thought will lead to the same choice, which will lead to the same behavior, which will create the same experience, which produce the same emotion. The stronger the emotional reaction...

You have to some experience in your life the higher the emotional quotient The more you pay attention to the cause the moment the brain puts all of its attention on the cause it takes a snapshot And that's called a memory so long-term memories are created from very highly Emotional experiences so what happens then is that people think neurologically within the circuitry of that experience and

and they feel chemically within the boundaries of those emotions. And so, when you have an emotional reaction to someone or something, most people think that they can't control their emotional reaction. Well, it turns out if you allow that emotional reaction, it's called a refractory period, to last for hours or days, that's called the mood. Say to someone, "Hey, what's up?" And you say, "I'm in a mood." "Well, why are you in a mood?" "Well, I had this thing happen to me five days ago, and I'm having one long emotional reaction."

If you keep that same emotional reaction going on for weeks or months, that's called temperament. Why is he so bitter? I don't know. Let's ask him. Why is he so bitter? Why are you bitter? Well, I had this thing happen to me nine months ago. And if you keep that same emotional reaction going on for years on end, that's called a personality trait. And so learning how to shorten your refractory period of emotional reactions is really where the work starts. So then...

People when they have an event what they do is they keep recalling the event because the emotions of stress hormones, the survival emotions are saying pay attention to what happened because you want to be prepared if it happens again.

So as you become familiar with the thoughts, the behaviors and the emotions of the old self, you're retiring that old self. As you fire and wire new thoughts and condition the body into a new emotional state, if you do that enough times, it'll begin to become familiar to you. So it's so important

Just like a garden. If you're planting a garden, you got to get rid of the weeds. You got to take the plants from the past year and you got to pull them out. The rocks that sift to the top that are like our emotional blocks, they have to be removed. The soil has to be tenderized and broken down. We have to make room to plant a new garden. So primarily, we learn the most about ourselves and others when we're uncomfortable.

All organisms in nature can tolerate short-term stress. You know, a deer gets chased by a pack of coyotes. When it outruns the coyotes, it goes back to grazing and the event is over. And the definition of stress is when your brain and body are knocked out of balance, out of homeostasis. The stress response is what the body innately does to return itself back to order. So you're driving down the road,

Someone cuts you off, you jam on the brakes, you may give them the finger and then you settle back down and the event is over and boom. Now everything's back to normal. But what if it's not a predator that's waiting for you outside the cave, but what if it's your co-worker sitting right next to you and all day long you're turning on those chemicals because they're pushing all your emotional buttons. When you turn on the stress response,

and you can't turn it off, now you're headed for disease because no organism in nature can live in emergency mode for that extended period of time. It's a scientific fact that the hormones of stress down-regulate genes and create disease, long-term effects. Human beings, because of the size of the neocortex, we can turn on the stress response just by thought alone. We can think about our problems and turn on those chemicals. That means then our thoughts could make us sick.

So if it's possible that our thoughts could make us sick, is it possible that our thoughts could make us well? The answer is absolutely yes. Hey, corporate types, Billy Idol here.
