I'll give you a little test. THE SIMPLE TEST THAT EXPOSES YOUR BELIEFS

Transcript

I'll give you a little test. Look around this room right now and notice everything you can see that's brown. Okay? It's a test. Look all around, both sides of you, anything you see that's brown. Look at that in your own room, all you see is brown. Okay, close your eyes. Tell me everything you just saw that was red. Now, obviously, you saw a lot more brown, didn't you? Yeah. Because you're looking for it. Open your eyes. Now look for red. Anywhere you can find red. Okay. Okay. Mhm. How come? Because I was looking for red. That's right. Once you develop a belief, you find what supports it. So watch this, you will find stuff that's not even there in order to be successful. I bet you saw some beige and called it brown just to feel successful. Right over there. I bet you saw some things burgundy and called them red just so you can feel successful. In some of those Now and Later. Do you see what I'm saying? If you think you're screwed up, you're messed up, you're gonna find and you're gonna color yourself that way. Whether you think it's true, whether you think it's not, it's gonna be true for you. In other words, whatever you believe is self-evident. You reinforce what you believe. You found what you were looking for.
