The Speaker 3 (0:32) law of attraction just basically says this. You attract into your life whatever you focus on the most. Whatever you believe is going to happen is probably what's going to happen. Whatever you think at your core about yourself is what you are going to manifest about yourself and about the world. Speaker 2 (0:52) I believe in the law of attraction and I believe that you can speak things into existence and I believe that... Once you when you know where you're going and you know what you want the universe has a way of stepping aside for you and Me signing my my signature with champion 2011 on it. It can't hurt me. I can't hurt me It could uh could only help me to believe it even more, you know, so So so yeah, I mean it works for me I've manifested things that I'm just like I still shocked myself like how the fuck did I make that happen? This is not even to do a fighting this is to do my personal life and I'm like I made that happen. And this is through this like manifesting subconsciously as well. Just years of something just manifesting, manifesting and boom, it's right there. I'm just like, shit, I really made that happen. It's scary, man. It's scary for me to even think about. Speaker 5 (1:41) But before you can ever reach anything, you have to believe it. You don't just mistakenly become great at something. You probably at one point, at one time or another, believe that you can be great at that. And then you work to get great at that. And you reach that greatness. But you don't mistakenly become great. And then you start to believe, oh man, I'm great at that. No, you believed that before and you worked to get that. So I'll always believe that. And I'll work every day to reach that. Speaker 3 (2:11) I wrote myself a check for $10 million for acting services rendered. And I gave myself five years, or three years maybe. Speaker 3 (2:22) And I dated it Thanksgiving 1995. And I put it in my wallet and I kept it there and it deteriorated and deteriorated and stuff. And, but then just before Thanksgiving 1995, I found out that I was going to make $10 million on, I think it was Dumb and Dumber. Dumb Speaker 4 (2:42) and Dumber. Yeah. So you visualize yourself like... Speaker 1 (2:47) Visualization works if you work hard. Speaker 4 (2:49) Yeah, well, Speaker 1 (2:50) yeah, that's Speaker 3 (2:50) the thing. You can't just visualize and then, you know, go eat a sandwich. Speaker 7 (2:54) In my mind, I see that if you start, if you know where you're going, your car self-drives. You almost are always walking Speaker 1 (3:07) in the direction because you can see it. I know that at some point I will do this. Only discipline. Speaker 1 (3:18) wouldn't be helpful if in the first place you do not possess the ability to see it, to realize it, to be aware of it. Meaning you have discipline, but you are never aware actually when is the moment actually appearing right now that this sensory desire is hitting in. You're not aware of it. So the discipline wouldn't help you if you don't have this awareness to live in the here and now. Stop jumping into the past and stop jumping into the future. Then you live in the here and now. But you must practice it. And literally meaning, how you do it, make yourself empty. Because the only thing that fills your mind with past and future is yourself. The mind. Speaker 5 (4:16) Where you are now is just a reflection of your past thoughts, your past thinking. So if you want to change your future, you got to change your thoughts Speaker 2 (4:24) now and then put them into action ultimately. But don't forget the law of detachment. I had to make a lot of decisions that weren't favorable, that wasn't cool, that wasn't like what you're supposed to do when you're in my position. I had to go against the grain. And that's when I realized that I'm a disruptor and I'm a visionary because I see, I can tell you in 10 years what I want to be like. I can tell you in 20 years where I want to live at. You know what I mean? I can see it, right? And then I can tell you what I'm not scared to go up against to get there. Yeah, I just think visualizing something and believing in it is just very important to the process of success. Everything comes from the imagination. So the power of the mind, people don't understand. We still don't understand. I still don't understand how powerful it is. I'm still learning. But I know one thing is I can make things happen. Speaker 5 (5:15) It's not something I tell myself. It's something I picture. Speaker 5 (5:20) Goals are intangible. They always start out as intangible. You first have to see it in your mind first in order for it to become true. And it's interesting because when I'm traveling a lot, people always ask me the same questions. How does it feel to play in the NFL, right? And I always respond and say, It feels exactly how you think it would feel if you reached your goals. And I would see the person's face just light up because they were able in that moment to picture what it would feel like if they accomplished their goals. So that's what I always would tell myself. What would it feel like if Leah beat cancer? What would it feel like if you made it to the NFL? Because what I did was take that feeling and compare it to the pain I was facing at the time. And if that feeling of overcoming the obstacles I was facing was greater than the pain, then I kept pushing. You know, I wanted to use my pain in order to get me to greatness. But I first had to feel and see what it would be like if I overcame these obstacles and achieved my goals. You Speaker 4 (6:19) say Speaker 5 (6:19) it and Speaker 4 (6:20) you just have to do it. It's not just going to come to you. If you're going to say it, you have to follow it with your actions. And you have to manifest it with... How much do you want it? And is it within your spirit that once you have it, can you hold it? Can Speaker 2 (6:38) you keep it? And I'm a firm believer of speaking things into existence. Same here, brother. I'm a firm believer of, you know, you work and the universe gives back to you. I'm a firm believer in that stuff. I mean, the law of attraction, of course. And I also feel often that things that I repetitively think about or say, I'm able to manifest. Like, you know, this house, for example, I manifested this. As Speaker 5 (7:06) a competitor, if you're trying to do something meaningful, if you don't have the mindset that you're the best ever, you failed already. So if you don't have the mindset that you are the best reporter ever, then you already failed. And that's been my mindset since I can remember. That will be my mindset as long as I can remember anything, that I am the best ever at what I do. And every day that I step on the basketball floor, I will strive to be that. But my mindset will always be as such as I am the best to do what I do. And that'll give me a shot at being the best. No Speaker 3 (7:51) matter what your stance is on the law of attraction, it works. The only problem is that most people are unconsciously attracting what they don't want into their lives. You have to basically brainwash all 40 trillion of your cells to believe that what you want, you will get. And there is no other option. No other option can exist. If there is. A tinge of doubt, it is less likely to happen. Speaker 2 (8:19) Fourth grade, I went in my closet. I said, I am going to the NBA. Anything you invoke with I am after it, the power of manifestation and what can happen in the universe comes true. Because I always remember my mother always said to me, if you can see it, you can be it. Speaker 5 (8:35) The first step before anybody else in the world believes it is you have to believe it. Speaker 1 (8:41) Wake up every day. How bad do you want it? How bad do you want your dream? It's so much easier to forget that vision than to remember it. Make this note. Don't become a victim of yourself. Forget the thief in the alley that's after your purse. What about the thief in your mind that's after your promise? Don't doubt your own ability. Speaker 5 (9:05) There's this thing about people and they talk about manifesting. It's real, man. Manifesting is real. When you figure out who you are and what you want to do. And you devote your life to it like a maniac, like you're all in on this thing. And you manifest. Most of these people end up doing what they say they're going to do and being who they say they're going to become. It's real. Anything's possible. Possible! And there's no excuses. There's no f***ing days off. There's no not willing to grind. And they lay out these short-term goals and this roadmap on how to get there. Most of those people make it. Speaker 1 (9:50) Anytime you want to, you can say, I'm going to change my attitude. I'm going to change my abilities. Take on that as your God-given right to change your life to whatever degree you want it to change. Speaker 2 (10:01) Everything comes from the imagination. So the power of the mind, people don't understand. We still don't understand. I still don't understand how powerful it is. I'm still learning. I know one thing is I can make things happen. Speaker 5 (10:11) The question is, will you put the work in that is required to manifest? I'm just wondering if there's anybody here that wants their future, that wants to fulfill their destiny, that wants to manifest, that wants to walk in discipline and determination. I'm just wondering, is there anybody here that's willing to disappear? Speaker 2 (10:35) In the core of your being, do you realize that you're a star? Yeah, I always knew so. I knew I wasn't going to be regular. I just knew I was going to be great at something. I didn't know what it was. But I knew I was going to be great at something. I just knew. Bro, I can manifest like a motherfucker. Speaker 6 (10:54) Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. There was a book and it said think and grow rich. And I remember going through the pages and reading the principles. The foundation of this is anything the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve. Whatever the mind can conceive Speaker 1 (11:12) and believe, the mind can achieve. Regardless of how many times you may have failed in the past or how lofty your aims and hopes may be. Speaker 5 (11:23) Manifesting is real. Speaker 6 (11:24) Now, whatever you send into the universe, the universe sends right back at you. And when it's coming back, that's your law of attraction. It's a choice. It's a matter of the heart. That your mindset could change your whole atmosphere. Speaker 2 (11:38) That you can turn your mess into a message and your test into a testimony. Everything comes from the imagination. Speaker 3 (11:46) A Speaker 2 (11:46) lot of people were surprised when they found out that you've been signing your name as Champ 2011. How did that come about? You know, I believe in the law of attraction. And I believe that you can speak things into existence. And I believe that when you know where you're going and you know what you want, the universe has a way of... Stepping aside for you and me signing my signature with champion 2011 on it can't hurt me. It can't hurt me. It could only help me to believe it even more. I Speaker 3 (12:14) feel confident because Speaker 5 (12:15) I'm the best player in the world. Speaker 3 (12:18) So I wrote myself a check for 10 million dollars per picture. You see this is my Thanksgiving 1995 that's the actual check I wrote myself four years ago and that's so I'm kind of here to say that visualization does work I've Speaker 2 (12:31) manifested things that I'm just like I still shock myself like how the f*** did I make that happen? This is not even to do with fighting this is to do my personal life. I'm like made that happen and this is through this like manifesting subconsciously as well just years of something just manifesting manifesting and boom it's right there i'm just like i really made that happen it's scary man it's scary for me to even think about you attract no you're not not just what you fear you attract what you feel what you are what you attract what we really want seems Speaker 3 (13:02) impossibly out of reach and ridiculous to expect so we never dare to ask the universe for it i'm saying I'm the proof that you can ask the universe for it. Speaker 5 (13:13) unpack the gift of the present and let the future be your motivation. Everybody is looking to manifest. We're all looking to manifest something. We'll lose sleep to manifest and we'll work two or three jobs to manifest and we'll study for hours in a day to manifest. We are all looking to manifest something. Speaker 1 (13:38) Let me call your attention to a great power. which is under your control. A power which is greater than poverty, greater than the lack of education, greater than all of your fears and superstitions combined. It is the power to take possession of your own mind and direct it to whatever ends you may desire. Speaker 3 (14:00) I went home and I prayed for a bicycle and then I got a bicycle. It showed up in my living room. Brand new Mustang bike. I put it in one of the scenes in Eternal Sunshine. A Mustang bike with a banana seat. I manifested it. I stood there in an open field like this with my arms out. Once I started to transition from... I don't know what I'm going to do. How am I going to ever get off my sister's couch? Who will ever pay me? How am I ever going to get to graduate? How am I ever going to gain experience? I'm too young. Once I started shifting all those thoughts to it is possible, I do believe in myself, I am great, I'm going to work really hard to develop skills that are going to help me move me forward, that's when everything started to shift. When I shifted, my inner world, my outer world opened up to me. for incredible possibilities. Speaker 5 (14:53) I don't care what level you get to. I need you to dream, right? I need you to, guys, I need you to spend a considerable amount of time dreaming every single day. Let me tell you why. I've noticed that the people who dream and those people who dream big have a different kind of life than the people who don't dream. And so there are a few things that we have to understand in order to manifest this future. The future when it is no longer a distant dream. some possibility, some idea, but it's a very present target. All of a sudden, everything changes. And so you may be average, you may be ordinary, but you have the opportunity every single day to make extraordinary decisions. And what you do today will determine your future. So if you were here you like I'm scared whatever you do do this for me do not sabotage yourself with fear Fear is not real. That's something your brain. It does not exist How do we get over it you get over it by dreaming of what you can be? Come on, y'all got to hear what I'm saying. There are those of you in this room, you spend a majority of your life doing what other people want you to do. You don't even know who you are. And so even what you're doing, you're not doing it 120 % because you're doing what somebody else wants you to do. And you're not that, you're not good enough to be somebody else. The future you would say, thank you for not allowing the despair and the anguish and the and the bitterness and the jealousy and the ego to eat away at your progress and your perseverance and your ability to travail and endure. Speaker 7 (16:35) What you're trained to think about when you think about manifesting is vision boards. And when you hear the word vision boards, you think about the big stuff. Should you have big dreams? Of course you should. Here's where everybody goes wrong. You dream about the end. You make this gorgeous collage of all this stuff that has nothing to do with your current life. That literally, as you're sitting in your studio apartment with the cat box that hasn't been changed in two weeks. Speaker 5 (17:06) No food in the fridge. No food in Speaker 7 (17:07) the fridge. And you're looking for a job and you're staring at a mansion going, someday, it's going to make you feel like a loser. Because the gap between where you are and where you want to go. It seems insurmountable. And so what happens, based on the research, is when you only visualize the endgame, Lewis, it's demotivating. At first, it's really fun to have a bottle of wine and make your collage. I'm going to visualize. I'm going to slap this up. There's my vision board. This is fabulous. Law of attraction, baby. Come on. I'm Speaker 1 (17:38) going Speaker 7 (17:38) to think about it. It's going to come to me. Okay, I've been doing this for two days. I'm still in this apartment with the cat box that needs to be changed. The way to visualize properly is to visualize the bridge. between where you are and where you need to go. The Speaker 5 (17:53) bridge. Speaker 7 (17:54) Yes, and particularly... Speaker 7 (17:57) The horrible stuff what you
