Build confidence.

Build self-esteem.

The hardest thing in the world is to believe in you, to believe you're special, to believe you're different, to believe you're supposed to be somebody.

The hardest thing in the world

is in spite of all your fears, all your worries, all your doubt, all your feelings of inadequacy, is to believe in yourself one more time, to pick yourself up off the mat one more time.

You got to talk to yourself.

Is it possible as a human being to change your destination point five years from now?

And the answer is yes.

See, that is so extraordinary.

No other life form can do that.

Pick a different destination in five years and start making plans and learn the skills and accept the disciplines and the teaching and the training and the consistency of effort and just start going in a new direction.

And in five years from now, wind up at a totally different place than where it was assumed you were gonna arrive with the old plans.

Only human beings have this extraordinary ability to change the outcome, to pick a new direction and go that way, to pick a more certain place to go and read the books and attend the classes and develop the disciplines and find the people and do the business that takes you to that new destination.

Now, in order to become a manifester, someone who was able to attract and place into their lives what they placed their attention on, there are certain, you know, we saw a lot about something called the secret not too long ago on all the newspapers and magazines and on the news and always.

And I was asked to be a part of that and stayed away from it for different reasons.

Because for me, manifesting is not about attracting what you want.

Manifesting is an awareness and an understanding that you attract what you are.

We do not manifest what we want.

That comes from a place of missing.

We manifest what we are.
