Wishing says to your mind you haven't got a prayer,

Because wishing just says, "You're not going to do that."

Oh, I wish… No one says, "I wish I could get up in the

I wish I could pick up that pencil and write a note."

You don't say wish. You go, "I'm doing it."

So when you say to the mind, "I wish I could," it says,

When you say to the mind, "I hope, I hope I get this

right," it goes, "Yeah, well, keep hoping, because you're not

"Well, you've never managed it before, so keep on with

But when you do it differently, I go, "I will memorize this,"

"I have a phenomenal memory. My memory is awesome.

I read things and they empower me and they stick.

Every thought you think and every word you say forms

a blueprint and your mind must work to make that

So when you say, "I can't remember anything.

I'd lose the eyes in the back of my head if they weren't fixed

in there because I just can't remember anything,"

If your boss says to you, "Can you do this?"

you go, "Oh, my god, I'm going to have to race

through it. And I'm going to have to rush it.

I'm going to go on stage and my mouth will go, 'uh, uh, uh.'"

Well, when you say that, it tends to be realized.

"You're going to fall. You're going to mess that up.

"Okay, I've only got 10 minutes to prepare my speech.

I've only got 10 minutes to get there, that's exactly how much

And if I'm late, I wasn't supposed to be there on time."

In fact, I was recently going in a cab across town to get a train

to work with a football team, and we got stuck in traffic.

I'm like, "Oh my god, I'm going to miss the train.

This is terrible. I'm going to ruin my reputation.

The team are going to be so upset," and I felt really sick.

And then I start to say, "The trains run every

What's 20 minutes? My material is so great.

They have lots of time after they finish practicing at 3:00."

So all the way there, I was playing a game and I

actually got the train on time, but they really wouldn't

have minded, but I could've ruined my day, made myself

panicky and sweaty by going, "Oh my god, I haven't got enough

time and now, it's all ruined." And it's never ruined.

You can come back from anything because the mind believes what

Every day, you get to choose how to speak to yourself.

What you do to your body when you say, "I'm an idiot.

In fact, the day we got married, I stuck stickers in all my stuff

so that when we got divorced, there'd be no confusion."

They plan it. And you don't want to plan it.

Well, you can choose to be negative or positive.

But you cannot choose what you do to yourself when you use

So the first rule of the mind, what you expect is realized.

So here's my advice to you, expect amazing things then.

If what is expected tends to be realized, expect the best.

Expect love and success and an amazing life because,

you know what, it will probably be realized really fast if you

When I meet clients and they go, "I love the words, where did you

I'm like, "Well, I find the most negative ones

And by the way, fear and excitement are exactly the same.

You can be on a fun fair screaming your head off,

we're going, "Oh, look at that wheel, are they scared

When you're excited, you scream. When you're scared, you scream.

So whatever you're doing, say, "I'm excited,"

Or go, "I'm terrified," and you'll feel terrified.
