You have got to start expecting great things to happen for you in order for it to happen.

1:05It is the law of attraction. It is real. It is nothing fake about it. The Bible says a man is as he think it. If you live your life in expectations, that's what happens to you. If you live your life in despair, that's what happens to you. If you say all men or dogs, you're going to meet every last one of them. I'll never be rich. You won't. You won't. The moment you change the frequency that your tower emits, the moment you change that frequency, different things come back to you. I'm telling you this how it works. If you change your head, you change your outfit. We try our best. We don't always do our best. And since we are the architects of our own lives, let's study the habits, the practices, the routines that we have that lead to and feed our success.

2:08Our joy, our honest pain, our laughter, our earned tears. Let's dissect that and give thanks for those things. And when we do that, guess what happens? We get better at them. Raise the rest of your life to meet you. Don't search for defining moments because they will never come. The moments that define you have already happened. And they will already happen again. We all live in this bubble. What you got to do, you got to put more air in your bubble. You got to blow your bubble up. Expand yourself. Take yourself out your comfort zone. Do not live in your bubble. Put some more air in your bubble. If there's something that you want and you have home report, you've got to do whatever is necessary until. And when you give the best you can and that's not enough, you must do what is required. Something learned to be your own booster. Stop building yourself up. Stop encouraging yourself.

3:09Stop saying, I can't do this. I can make this happen. Go do something. Do the best thing that you can think of. Put the best plan you have into practice. It's not going to be perfect and it will change along the way. But it will change partly because you become disciplined pursuing the path. And as you become disciplined, you become wiser. And as you become wiser, you become able to formulate better and better plans. There are no longer going to live in this setbacks. There are no longer going to live in your reality. Your reality of me says, I'm not enough. Your reality of me says, I can't do this. Your reality of me says, you won't finish today. This is your time. This is your moment. Shake off the doubt. Shake off the negativity. You're at the right place. You're at the right time. Now all you've got to do is get in the right frame of mind. Change anything for you you want to change. And I challenge you to do that because you can change. If you don't like how it is for you, change it.

4:11The starting point of great accomplishment is to dream big dreams. Number one, dream big dreams. Let your mind float free. All really exceptional men and women dream big dreams. They allow their minds to float. They think of what they could be and what they could do and what they really really want. Here's an exercise for you. Take a piece of paper later on and right at the top, dream list. And then make a list of all your dreams. If you're married, sit down with your spouse and say, honey, let's make a list of everything we'd like to be, do or have in the rest of our lives. But what about this and what about that? No, decide what's right before you decide what's possible. Don't decide what we can't afford this and we couldn't do that. Stop, stop, stop. That's helplessness. That's habit. That's these old negative habit patterns holding you back before you even decide what you want. Most people are figuring out why they can't have it. What you do is you say, wait a minute, if I had no limitations. And this is the key. You dream as though you had no limitations. Nothing's holding you back. Imagining that all the time, all the money, contacts, all the education, influence, you have everything going for you in the whole world.

5:15And just simply decide these are my dreams and write them down. Project yourself into the future. Say where do I want to be in five to ten years? If I could design a perfect life. So my life was perfect in every respect. My relationships, my income, my work, my family, my health, my home, my car, what would it be? This is the starting point of great achievement because what will happen is that if you can clearly define that target, you can hit it. You eventually always hit the targets that you set for yourself. But you can't hit a target that you can't see. So allow your mind to float freely. Allow yourself to engage in what is called blue sky thinking. Blue sky thinking means you just simply imagine you have a whole blue sky above you and no limitations. And then you write it down. And then you think and ask yourself this question. What one great thing would I dare to dream if I knew I could not fail? What one great thing would you dare to dream if you knew you could not fail? Imagine you were absolutely guaranteed a success if any one thing, big or small, long term or short term in the whole world, what would it be?

6:17And write it down. Now that doesn't make your heart pound a little bit faster than maybe somebody should nudge you with their elbow because you're probably not alive or awake. The fact is that when you start dreaming big dreams, you know what happens? Is your self concept goes up. Your self esteem goes up. The very fact that you allow yourself to dream big dreams causes you to feel better about yourself. See yourself better. Think of yourself better. And it starts the process of making yourself unstoppable. You become unstoppable. People with big dreams are absolutely committed to are unstoppable human beings. It's people with little dreams and no hopes and no plans beyond tomorrow and next week. These are easy people to stop. Now people that have big dreams to make wonderful lives for themselves, they're phenomenal. The second key is to develop a clear sense of direction. Develop clear goals and make plans for their accomplishment. You see, if you have big goals, they motivate you. They stimulate you.

7:17They excite you. They enthuse you. If you have no goals at all, you just go around in circles. What we have found is that goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement. You have big goals and the more you work on the goals and the more you feel yourself progressing toward them, the better you feel, the more positive you feel, the more momentum you develop and the more you feel yourself to be unstoppable. You see, without goals, you're easily stopped because you don't know what you want. HL Hunt, the great oil billionaire, was once asked his secrets of success and he said there's basically two requirements for success in America. Only two. He said, first of all, decide exactly what you want. Most people never do that. Second of all, he said, determine the price you're going to have to pay to get it and then start paying it. Earl Nightingale said that happiness is the progress of realization of a word of the ideal. The very most dependable way to keep yourself positive and happy and motivated is to think about your goals and to work towards your goals every single day. Because when you work progressively step by step towards something that's important to you,

8:17you know what happens? You feel better and better and you start to get results and the results start to motivate you to go forward even more and you get more results and pretty soon you develop this wonderful feeling of self-confidence you become unstoppable. When you have big dreams that's the cosmic or vision part of your life and then goals which are very set and specific and you start moving toward fulfilling them, you feel fabulous about yourself. 80-90% of unhappiness in our society today is because people don't have goals. Whenever you meet an unhappy person, here's a test question. Just say, well, you're unhappy about this and your job and your family and your health and everything else. But tell me, what are your goals? Do you know what people will say? Cheese, what kind of a question is that? Most people have no goals. As soon as they have goals, they start to move forward. America leads the world in medicine development. It matters. We get new medicines first nearly three years faster.
