- Have you seen the movie "The Secret," or have you read the book "The Secret"? Now, maybe you have heard of the Law of Attraction, and you wonder exactly what it is, and you wonder, does this actually work? Does the Law of Attraction work?
You see, believe it or not, the Law of Attraction is not some complicated, magical ritual or some mysterious, ancient secret; it's actually very, very simple. I want you to think of gravity as an unchanging law of the universe—gravity. When I throw something in the air, it will drop to the ground.
When you jump off a building, you will hit the ground. That's the law of gravity. You see, the Law of Attraction is no different.
It is simply the ability to attract into our lives whatever we are focusing on. In basic terms, all thoughts turn into things eventually, and what you focus on expands, just like gravity. To understand the Law of Attraction, first you have to understand this: you always attract into your life the people, the things, the resources, and the ideas that are in harmony with your dominant thoughts.
It means that you always attract people into your life in harmony with your current experience, knowledge, and wisdom. It means that your life only gets better when you get better. It means that as a salesperson, if you want to increase your sales, close more deals, or increase your income, you will only do that if you become better.
You want to become a better manager? You will only become a better manager if you become better. You'll only become a better father if you become better.
So today, I want to share with you four strategies on how to actually apply the Law of Attraction in your life. Not touchy-feely, not theory, not woo-woo, foo-foo, tree-hugging theories—I'm talking about how it actually works. How to use the Law of Attraction to create the life that you desire.
Strategy number one, and that is confirmation bias. You see, as human beings, we seek information that confirms what we already believe. What does that mean?
It's very simple. Have you ever had this experience? I remember back then, my first dream car was the Mazda RX-8, the red RX-8.
I remember that that was my dream car, and I had it on my vision board. I looked at that every single day. You see, what's very interesting is the minute I put the car on my vision board, suddenly I noticed Mazdas everywhere I went.
Everywhere! I saw the Mazda 3; I saw the hatchback; I saw the RX-8; I saw different colors. I was like, "Wow, everyone drives a Mazda.
" But is it true, or is it simply confirmation bias that because that was what I focused on, suddenly I could see more? Or were they always there, but I just didn't notice them? That's how our mind works.
Let me give you another example. You're watching my video, and if you've been following my work for any length of time, you can see that we have a lot of subscribers, a lot of fans from around the world. Now you'll notice, I want you to look at a comment for this particular video—any video that I have.
It's very, very interesting that the same video, the same video that I create, the same lesson, someone would say, "This is phenomenal; this is the best lesson I've ever seen. " Someone would say, "Oh, this sucks. This is horrible; this is BS.
" It is the same video. Why is that? Because we seek information that confirms what we already believe.
When you watch any one of my videos, you don't actually hear what I say; you don't hear a damn thing that I say—you hear what you want to hear. You see, we all have a filter. We all have this filter.
Every piece of information that comes through our mind has this filter—this is your confirmation bias. If it confirms or reaffirms what you already believe, you will take that in. If it doesn't, you will ignore it or argue against it.
And that's why the same piece of content, the same video, can provoke such different reactions from people. I know that. It has nothing to do with what I say; it has nothing to do with what I teach; it has everything to do with your belief, how you see the world, your worldview.
That's it. Some people can take the information that I teach and go out there, start a new business, take their business to the next level, and make a six-figure income, or even a seven-figure income. Some people could take my information and not do a damn thing with it, say, "This is bullshit.
" It's the same piece of information. That's why. Strategy two: how I make the Law of Attraction work in my life, and that is I notice things, but I don't pay attention to them.
Now, one time we were at a penthouse, and it was raining outside—heavy, heavy rain—and I was looking out the windows. I was like, "Oh my goodness. Look at the dark cloud.
Look at the pouring rain. " It was so depressing. Then Jenny walked by, and she looked out the windows and said, "Oh, it's so romantic.
" I was like, "Romantic? What are you talking about? This is bad!
We can't go out; this is pouring rain. " Damn Vancouver, right? She said, "No, look at the mountains; look at that, look at the light.
This is so romantic. " I was like, "Are you and I looking at the same thing? What is going on here?
" Well, we were looking at the same thing. The difference is that she saw beauty, and I saw a dark cloud. It is the same scenario.
See, what you focus on expands. It's like the filter I was talking about. Most people tend to change their lives with more information without.
. . upgrading your filter.
Jenny and I, we have a different filter. You see, you have to realize this: it is not what happens to you, but how you think about what happens to you that determines how you react and how you feel. It is not the world outside of you that dictates your circumstances or your conditions; it is the world inside of you that creates the conditions of your life.
So you could choose: do you want to give it attention, or do you not want to give it attention? When you go home and you complain about your work, when you complain about your business, guess what? You go home, you complain to your spouse.
"Oh my God, today the work, the job was so bad, it was horrible. " You are reliving that experience; you're giving it energy. Your brother-in-law, your brother, your sister calls you, and you're like, "Aw man, let me tell you about how horrible work is today.
" You're reliving that again; you are giving it energy. Yes, it has already happened, but you can choose if you want to give energy to it, and that's how you activate the Law of Attraction. The more you give energy to something, the more you'll attract those things and those circumstances into your life.
Strategy number three: now, when you're not giving attention, that's good, but then slowly and progressively even eliminate noticing it—not even noticing it. You see, you have to understand the universe, in some way, is kind of a little bit raked against us. That's correct.
Let me prove it to you. Here's a garden. Now, when you plant roses, what do you get?
What do you get? Comment below. You get roses, right?
Now, what happens if you don't plant anything and you don't take time to even take care of the garden? You don't even pay attention to it; what happens? Weeds grow.
So it is not the case that if you don't plant something, nothing will happen, no. It's rather the case that when you don't plant anything, weeds grow, and that's how our mind works. So if you're not constantly feeding your mind— I call that mind feed—if you don't constantly feed your mind with positive motivation, inspiration, something that moves you towards your goals, practical, useful information to feed your mind, you are not doing that constantly; weeds grow.
And that's why, personally, I don't watch news. Because most news is nothing more than negativity, and they are just designed to grab your attention; it's just sensations. It doesn't actually do much for your life; it doesn't add value to your life; it doesn't make you a better person—except it scares the heck out of you.
You watch enough news, and you don't even want to go out. You don't want to do anything. So I don't watch news.
If it's important enough, guess what? My team, someone, will tell me. I'll eventually find out.
But most of the time, I don't know what is going on. I focus on what I do. I want to protect this.
I want to protect my filter. I'm very, very careful about how I view the world and how I upgrade my filter. And that's why the Law of Attraction works all the time; it works 24/7.
You cannot stop it even if you want to. You cannot stop it even if you're not paying attention to it. So you could choose; you can choose what information you consume every single day.
You can choose what you pay attention to; you can choose what channel you watch; you can choose what videos you watch. You have the power to choose. Strategy number four: what you say to yourself becomes your self-fulfilling prophecy.
So I want to ask you a question; I want you to comment below. Share with me one of your goals—maybe two or three of your goals. Go ahead, do that.
Sometimes I will hear people share their goals with me, and they will say something like this: "I want to be successful. " "I want to be successful. " Or, "I want to be a millionaire.
" "I want to be a millionaire, I want to be a millionaire. " Well, guess what? What you say becomes your self-fulfilling prophecy.
When you say that enough, guess what? You will get very, very good at wanting to be successful. Think of the universe as kind of like a person that you are telling, "Hey, I want to be successful.
I want to be a millionaire. " The universe is like, "Great, your wish is my command. " And the universe is like, "Okay, I'll grant your wishes.
" So guess what? Your whole life you're wanting and wanting and wanting and not having. And then you keep asking the universe; the universe is like, "What the heck do you want?
I already gave you what you want. You said you want it; I just gave it to you. You don’t say you are; you just said you want.
" Change your vocabulary. I am successful, not I want to be. I am a great salesperson.
I am a great entrepreneur. I'm a great father. I'm a great son.
I'm a great husband. I'm a great wife. I'm a great daughter.
I am a millionaire. "Dan, are you saying that I go out there and even though I'm struggling, am I lying to people that say I'm a millionaire? " No; this is not an external communication; it is an internal communication—what you say to yourself all the time in your mind.
Can you see yourself being that? Are your habits, your behaviors, your actions, are they congruent with who you are? See, in my book "F.
U. Money," I talk about this. I said you cannot be a millionaire with a $50,000-a-year habit, period.
It's incongruent. You first need to see yourself being that person first before you will get the results—not get the results first, oh then I'll see myself doing that. If once I get a million dollars, then I'll see myself as a millionaire.
No, it's the other way around. That's how the Law of Attraction works. You need to see yourself acting, thinking, and behaving—not blowing money; I'm talking about your mindset.
Acting, behaving, thinking, taking… Action, doing things, operating like a millionaire before the results, before the money gets deposited into your bank account, if that makes sense. Let me share an inspiring story with you about Allison, one of my mentees. You see, Allison, using the Law of Attraction and the power of the high-income skill that I've taught her, paid off her car payments in three months.
Now, that may or may not be a big deal for a lot of people, but for a single mom, that's a big deal for her. There were months before that when she couldn't even afford to pay her car payment, and now she has paid that off. Imagine that.
This is her story. “Hi, HTC family. We are sharing a boom!
Say it, Saul. ” “Boom! ” “What’s our boom?
” “We paid off our car for the whole—” “Yep, we just paid off my car! Our car! So—” “That’s her car forever.
” “Yes, and this may not be a big deal for some of you, but for me, I bought this car. I'm a single mom, and there were some months when I couldn't even make my car payment. It was kind of a struggle.
So, I could, you know, I’ve never had a brand new car. When we started looking at the vision board, I didn't have clarity on what my new car would be, and I thought, ‘Okay, since I don’t have clarity there, what is a goal I can put up on there? ’ And it was to pay my car off.
I put it up three months ago to get my car paid off in three months. That was my vision board goal. Last month, I had to do $1,000 on my car, because I made two car payments and had $500 in repairs.
So, I was able to do that and still pay extra for my daughter’s baby shower, and then I just had one final payment that I just made. So, boom. ” “Boom.
” “Boom! Thank you, HTC. Bye!
” Here’s another story. Rafael’s mom always wanted to go to Europe, and Rafael made a promise to himself that once he made the money—he put that on his vision board—he would treat his mom to a trip, all paid for, to go to Europe. And you can see in this video when he did that; notice the happiness and fulfillment on his mom’s face.
(speaking in foreign language) (man laughs) (speaking in foreign language) Isn't that wonderful? It is a privilege for me to be able to do what I do—to teach people, to give people a high-income skill, an alternative, but at the same time, also teaching them practical laws of success and how the Law of Attraction works to help them attract and create the life that they really deserve and desire. So, I want to leave you with one thought, and that is this: If this is something that you want to do, I take all my students, all my mentees, through a seven-week journey online from the comfort of your own home—a seven-week transformation journey.
Not only by giving you a skill set, but by giving you the mindset that you need—upgrading that filter that you need to create the life that you desire. And remember, act as if all your dreams have come true, and then you challenge your reality to catch up.
