0:00A year and a half ago, I posted a video
0:02here on my channel about this exact
0:03same subject. And today I am living
0:05proof that everything I talked about
0:07there works. In that video, I was 12 kg
0:10heavier, I was making much less money
0:12than I do now, and I was stuck with a
0:14ceiling in practically every area of my
0:16life, where I couldn't get past a
0:18certain specific level. And I'll tell
0:21you something, when I recorded that
0:22video, I didn't even know half of what
0:24I know today. And that's why in this
0:26video here, which is basically a part
0:29two, I'm going to show you something
0:31much deeper and dive much deeper into
0:33this ocean about self-image. I know
0:36this video is long, but if you stay
0:38with me until the end and apply what
0:39I'm going to teach you, maybe a year
0:41from now you'll be living proof that
0:43this really works. And I need to be
0:45real with you that I am in some groups
0:47and know extraordinary people whom many
0:50people on the internet admire. And I
0:52know that these people behind the
0:54scenes know about this, study this, and
0:57apply the kind of thing I'm going to
0:59talk about in this video. The problem
1:02is that most people still don't
1:04understand or only understand this very
1:06superficially, and it ends up being
1:07difficult for them to grasp, apply, and
1:10change their lives with this. There is
1:13one single thing that decides what your
1:15results will be. And I know it's hard
1:18to accept that this has nothing to do
1:19with your effort, your discipline, or
1:21your strategy. It is something much
1:24deeper. And when you understand this,
1:26you finally stop fighting against
1:28yourself. Because that is what you are
1:29doing right now. You are fighting
1:31against yourself. You wake up in the
1:34morning, make a list of the things you
1:36want to do, you start a new month
1:37setting goals and things you want to
1:39change. You spend every year always
1:43thinking about how this year will be
1:45different, but things always somehow
1:48return to how they always are. So, even
1:50though there are some months where you
1:52manage to make more money, that amount
1:54always goes back to the same range.
1:57Even though sometimes you manage to
1:58lose weight, your weight always ends up
2:00returning to that weight you know
2:01you've had for a long time. Even though
2:05sometimes you manage to be in a
2:06relationship with a different type of
2:08person, you always end up attracting
2:10people who are of a similar pattern,
2:12who are a similar type, and who treat
2:13you in a similar way. It’s not a lack
2:17of effort; it’s called self-image. It
2:20is controlling 100%of the things around
2:22you today without you even knowing it.
2:25How much money you earn, the kind of
2:27relationship you have, the type of body
2:29you have, the opportunities you see,
2:31and which ones you let pass by without
2:33even noticing. Everything, everything
2:35is consistent with the mental image you
2:37have inside yourself, deeply ingrained
2:39there, and which you probably don’t
2:40even understand what it’s like. Here
2:42in this video, I will try to explain it
2:44clearly, the way I would explain it to
2:47my younger self from a year and a half
2:49ago, or all my old versions that tried
2:51to change something and just couldn't.
2:53I’m going to tell you about the
2:54science, the metaphysical side, and the
2:57step-by-step process I applied that
2:58actually worked after so much time
3:00trying. If you’re in a hurry, you can
3:02leave this video and go watch a short
3:04clip instead. Now, if you really want
3:07change, if you’re really going to
3:08apply it, and you really want to
3:10understand these deeper concepts about
3:12your mind, then stay here with me,
3:14because I know you’ll like what
3:15you’re about to see. In 1960, a
3:18plastic surgeon in New York named
3:20Maxwell Maltz began to notice something
3:22very strange in his office. He would
3:25see people who came in for nose surgery
3:27, to change their appearance in some
3:29way, or remove an ugly scar from their
3:31face, and he would perform the surgery,
3:33it would turn out perfect, and some
3:35people would change their personality
3:37overnight. They started to become more
3:40confident, make eye contact, become
3:42more communicative, as if that had
3:44really caused an external and internal
3:47shift in them, as if their lives had
3:49truly changed with that change they
3:51made to their face. But there was one
3:53detail that drove this surgeon crazy.
3:56Some other people with the same surgery
3:58, often perfect, kept the same
4:00personality; in other words, they had
4:02no change at all. In other words, even
4:05though they looked in the mirror and
4:07saw that new nose, it was as if it
4:09wasn't even real, because they remained
4:11shy, they still couldn't look people in
4:13the eye, and they lacked self-esteem.
4:16Some would return to the office saying
4:18the surgery had gone wrong, that they
4:19wanted it redone, and that they simply
4:21didn't like the result. Even though the
4:24result, aesthetically looking from the
4:26surgeon's and other people's
4:27perspectives, was perfect. And that was
4:30when this guy discovered something that
4:32changed psychology forever. He realized
4:34that there are two images inside every
4:36person. There’s the reflection in the
4:38mirror, which is what you see when you
4:40look at yourself, and there’s the
4:42deeper image inside, which is who you
4:44believe you are. And at the end of the
4:47day, that second image is actually the
4:48only one that matters, because it
4:50controls everything in our lives. Maltz
4:52called this psychocybernetics and he
4:55even wrote a very good book about it.
4:58It became a classic that’s been
4:59around for over 70 years, and
5:00everything being discovered now by
5:02neuroscience just confirms what he had
5:04already discovered back then, man. And
5:06he documented some absurd cases. There
5:09was a man who lived locked in his house
5:11because he believed he had a horrible
5:12nose and giant ears. According to him,
5:15everyone noticed, everyone laughed at
5:17him; he quit job after job, and even
5:19his family couldn’t take it anymore.
5:22So they took him to Maltz's office.
5:24When the surgeon looked, he realized
5:26that his nose was actually a normal,
5:28classic Roman nose, nothing special,
5:30and his ears weren't even that big. The
5:34truth is that no one was laughing at
5:36him, no one cared that much about his
5:38ears or his nose, but in his
5:39imagination, he had distorted his
5:41self-image to the point where it became
5:43something very important and massive.
5:47In other words, he had lost touch with
5:49reality. And, in truth, he didn't just
5:51need surgery, because that wouldn't
5:53solve it. He needed a new self-image.
5:56And I can tell you now, speaking from
5:58my personal experience, that this is
6:00very real. I had that exact same
6:02surgery last year, which involved
6:05changes to my nose and my ears. And for
6:08a long time in my life, I couldn't tie
6:10my hair back or style it. I hated
6:13anything that involved that, and I
6:14hated being seen from the side. I hated
6:16for anyone to look at me from the side.
6:18I am sure that many people will
6:20identify with this. And honestly, the
6:23surgery was a dream come true for me
6:24that I had always wanted. But I
6:27realized a few months before that I
6:29also needed to change an image in my
6:31head. Because I understood that if I
6:33didn't change it in my mind, even if
6:35the surgery were perfect and everything
6:37went well, I would still feel ashamed.
6:39I still wouldn't tie my hair back, I'd
6:41still hate being seen from the side,
6:43and so on. So, I need you to watch this
6:46, because everything I'm telling you
6:48isn't just based on things I’ve read,
6:50but on things I’ve lived through
6:52myself and actually achieved results
6:53from. Results that transformed me as a
6:56person. And there was an even more
6:58incredible case. Edward McGaldrick, who
7:01founded the Alcoholism Therapy
7:03Department back in the 40s in New York,
7:06used a very simple technique. Every day
7:09, he had his patients close their eyes,
7:12relax, and create a mental movie of
7:14what it would be like to be sober: what
7:16it would feel like to wake up sober, go
7:19to work sober, or go on a date sober—
7:21they saw themselves sober before
7:23anything else in their day. Many of
7:27these people, after a few months,
7:28literally stopped drinking. It wasn't
7:30an uncontrollable struggle; it was a
7:33shift in their own mental image. They
7:35realized that it was, in fact, possible
7:37for them to be sober people. There was
7:40indeed a possibility to change, and a
7:42scenario existed where that was
7:43possible. And they were able to see
7:46that scenario. In 1955, two
7:47psychologists in Los Angeles conducted
7:50an even crazier experiment. They took
7:5345 men admitted to a psychiatric
7:55hospital with very serious disorders.
7:58They had them take a personality test,
8:01and then asked them to take it again.
8:04But this time, they had to answer as if
8:06they were—and look at this phrase—a
8:08typical, well-adjusted person on the
8:10outside. Three-quarters of them
8:13improved because they had imagined
8:15themselves and stepped into that mental
8:17scene of what it would be like to be a
8:19normal person. Are you starting to
8:22grasp the magnitude of what I'm telling
8:24you? This isn't just some random
8:25positivity. This is a mechanism of your
8:28own brain. A year and a half ago, as I
8:30told you, I was 26 pounds heavier, and
8:32it wasn't a lack of information. I
8:34don't think anyone lacks information
8:35these days. And you can see that. I
8:38knew exactly what I had to eat and how
8:40much I should be training. I had a meal
8:42plan from a nutritionist, I paid for a
8:44gym, I have a gym in my building, but I
8:46did one very specific thing that you
8:48might identify with. Every time I got
8:50close to the result I wanted most, I
8:52would sabotage myself. Like, I’d lose
8:556 pounds. Wow! The following week,
8:58I’d find a way to go back to my usual
9:00weight. I would eat everything again,
9:02every time, for years. There was always
9:05an excuse. "Oh, this time it’s
9:06so-and-so’s birthday.""Oh, no, this
9:08time I have a wedding.""Oh, this time
9:10it's a holiday, man." I’m going to
9:11treat myself to some relaxation. Oh, I
9:13deserve it. I worked so hard today.
9:15Anyway, I had all these kinds of
9:17excuses to always have a reason to eat.
9:21And I'm not even talking about having a
9:22little bit, tasting something, or being
9:24part of special moments. I'm talking
9:27about eating uncontrollably, like,
9:29really, uncontrollably, out of nowhere,
9:31for no reason, without hunger, as if a
9:34force was pulling me from behind and
9:36making me do that. And right after, I
9:39remember exactly the feeling, because
9:41it was a feeling of like, why did I do
9:43this crap? I knew I didn't really want
9:46that or at least I didn't need to have
9:48eaten so much. But I always thought: "
9:50No, tomorrow it'll work out, starting
9:51tomorrow I'll really stick to it,
9:52starting next month I won't make
9:54excuses." And I always told myself that
9:56, but it never really changed. And
9:59sometimes it happened that I judged
10:01myself as a weak person, spineless,
10:03without the power to make a real change
10:05when I said I would. But it wasn't a
10:07lack of effort or lack of knowledge. It
10:10was my self-image finding a way to get
10:13rid of a body it didn't identify with.
10:16Because in my head, I was a 150-pound
10:19person. If you asked me to picture
10:21myself as a mental avatar, I would
10:23always, all these past years, imagine a
10:26person who weighed 150 pounds, who was
10:28a certain way, who thought in a certain
10:31way. So, how was I going to change? And
10:34if you stop to think, a person who was
10:35thin their whole life will think of
10:37themselves, in their mental image, as a
10:39thin person. And an overweight person
10:42will probably imagine themselves
10:44mentally as that person. That is
10:46natural, that is normal. We have
10:48memories that built a narrative of how
10:50we are, who we are, where we are in the
10:53world, and even how far we can go. And
10:55the point here is that this doesn't
10:57just happen in one area or another, it
10:59happens in every area. And for me, it
11:02always happened in the area regarding
11:04money, relationships, friendships, and
11:06anything else. Every area of our life
11:09ends up having an invisible ceiling
11:12that, no matter what you do, you won't
11:14be able to break through if you don't
11:16change your self-image. And the
11:18craziest thing is that not all these
11:20ceilings in every area of our lives are
11:22horrible, or are low ceilings. There
11:26are some ceilings in our lives that you
11:27look at and say, "Well, it's fine, if I
11:29can just stay at this level, I'm good,
11:30it's smooth." But why don't we ask
11:33ourselves? Why can't I break through?
11:36Why can't I have an extraordinary
11:38result in this area of my life? Why can
11:41other people earn so much money while I
11:42always hit this ceiling here and can't
11:44get past it? Even when I'm working
11:47harder than those other people
11:48sometimes? And this is the type of
11:50question that leads us to understand
11:51that the problem sometimes isn't
11:53conscious, it's somewhere else. And
11:55that is where I want to take you in
11:56this part of the video. Now let's get
11:58to the most important part. How does
12:00this work inside your brain? When you
12:03truly understand this, it's like a
12:04switch flipping in your head. Your
12:07brain receives 11 million bits of
12:09information per second. Yes, 11 million
12:11. Everything happening around you right
12:15now, while you watch this video, all
12:16the images, all the sounds, the smells,
12:18everything happening, you can't process
12:20all of that, obviously, at the same
12:22time. If you tried to process all these
12:25things, your brain would, I don't know,
12:27explode. So, there is a system inside
12:30your brain called the reticular
12:31activating system, which functions like
12:33a filter. It decides what it will
12:36filter for you to process and what it
12:38will let through, meaning what will
12:40enter your consciousness and what will
12:42be ignored. And the criterion for this
12:45filter is your self-image. Your brain
12:49only lets through what confirms who you
12:51believe you are, what is in accordance
12:53with your beliefs about existence,
12:55about the world, and about yourself.
12:58Everything else is as if it were
13:00ignored, distorted, or deleted without
13:03you even noticing. Researchers call
13:05these three cognitive shortcuts:
13:07simplify, filter, and modify. The brain
13:10simplifies information by fitting it
13:12into patterns you already have, filters
13:15out what doesn't match what you believe
13:17, and modifies some data to fit what
13:19you already expect. A dirty trick? Yes,
13:22a dirty trick. But that is how the
13:24thing works. So, if in your self-image
13:27you are a person who has no money or
13:29who sees money as something that
13:30requires great effort, that you need to
13:32bleed to get the bare minimum, your
13:34brain actively makes you miss money
13:36opportunities passing right in front of
13:38you. You see information, you pass by
13:41it too quickly and don't notice it, and
13:43you don't see the proposal. Or you
13:46watch content like this and simply
13:48can't grasp the important message,
13:50can't apply it to your life. You meet
13:53someone and don't realize who they are
13:55or how they could help you, among
13:57millions of other things I could
13:58mention here that happen—they aren't
14:00coincidences, they are this filter. If
14:03in your self-image you are a person who
14:05weighs a specific number, regardless of
14:08what that means to you, whenever you
14:10are far from it, your self-image will
14:12try to pull you back, and you will
14:14notice it. If you stop to think now,
14:17you will remember things that happened
14:19where you realize this was taking place
14:21, that you had no reason to act that
14:23way, that you knew it wasn't the right
14:25way to act, that you didn't need to do
14:27such a thing, but you did it anyway. If
14:31in your self-image you are a person no
14:33one takes seriously, no matter how many
14:35compliments you receive, you kind of
14:36just ignore them. It’s as if they
14:39didn't hold much weight, but a single
14:41criticism is enough to take you down.
14:43And you think, see? That’s why,
14:45that’s why I don’t even do such
14:46things, that’s why I don’t even
14:47create content. I knew it, man. That is
14:50why it’s so important to stop and
14:51think about these things and question
14:53why things happen the way they do. And
14:55question yourself, question your
14:57consciousness as to why you are acting
15:00this way, what is inside you that is
15:02leading you to act in such a way and
15:04get such results. And what you have to
15:07understand is that your filter is doing
15:10its job; it is protecting the identity
15:12you have, recording all the information
15:14that confirms and relates to your
15:16mental image, and discarding everything
15:18that doesn't. And one of the most
15:22interesting and shocking points about
15:25this is that 99%of the things you
15:27believe today were formed between your
15:30birth and the age of 7. During this
15:33period, scientifically speaking, your
15:35brain is in a state of theta waves,
15:37which is practically a state of
15:38hypnosis. Everything you saw, heard,
15:42and felt from age zero to seven was
15:45recorded in your subconscious, without
15:47a critical filter or questioning.
15:51Everything your parents or those around
15:54you said about money, bodies, men,
15:56women, or life, all of that went
15:58straight in there. And it is based on
16:02all of that that you still make
16:04decisions today, in your 20s, 30s, 40s,
16:06or 50s. Think about how crazy that is.
16:10You are making important decisions
16:11about your life, what you’ll do, and
16:13who you want to be. And those decisions
16:16are based on things you absorbed during
16:18that time, often things you don't even
16:21remember or think no longer affect you.
16:24But those things are still there, which
16:26is why you often feel frustrated for
16:27not being able to change certain things
16:29. You need to remember that you are
16:32trying to change 20 or 30 years of
16:34reprogramming a foundation that has
16:36been built. In 30 days, that is simply
16:39not possible. And just to finish
16:41explaining how it works, I’ll give
16:43you an analogy Bob Proctor uses, which
16:45I find perfect. Think of a plane
16:47departing from New York to Hawaii. Once
16:50the plane is in the air, the pilot
16:51turns on the autopilot. That autopilot
16:54is programmed for a single destination,
16:55which is Hawaii. If there’s
16:57turbulence, or if the plane goes off
16:59course, the autopilot will always
17:01correct it. It doesn't ask if you want
17:04to go to Hawaii; it will just take you
17:05there because it’s programmed to make
17:07that happen. Your self-image is exactly
17:10like this autopilot for your life. It
17:14is programmed for a specific
17:15destination that might not even be good
17:17for you—it could be terrible—but
17:19every decision you make unconsciously
17:21every single day is steering you toward
17:23that place. And whether you like it or
17:26not, for your subconscious, that is the
17:29normal place, the destination. If you
17:31don't reprogram this autopilot, it will
17:33always return to the same pattern. And
17:35mind you, there has been research on
17:37this for decades. Psychologists who
17:39studied self-image identified that it
17:41has four elements. The first is the
17:43self-image itself, which is how you see
17:45yourself. The second is your ideal self
17:47, who you would like to be. The third
17:50is your real self, meaning the feedback
17:52you receive from people who know you,
17:54regarding who they believe you are. And
17:56the fourth is how you interpret this
17:58feedback that you receive from other
18:00people. And then, beyond all of that,
18:03there are six different dimensions.
18:06There is the physical dimension, which
18:07is how you evaluate your appearance,
18:09the psychological, how you evaluate
18:11your personality, the intellectual, the
18:13social, the moral, and the sexual. All
18:15of this, all these forms have to do
18:18with your self-image. They all build
18:20your self-image. All of this is there
18:22in your brain without you even
18:24realizing it. The good news about all
18:27of this is that you can basically
18:28change this filter. And that is what I
18:31most want to show you in this video
18:32here. There is a layer to this subject
18:34that I really like. It is a little
18:36crazier and goes a little deeper than
18:38science, but I think it is important
18:39because it connects things. And that
18:42thing is: reality does not give you
18:44what you want, it returns to you who
18:46you are. Whatever you are appears to
18:49you in your external world. And I know
18:52this is painful to hear because it
18:54means that, often, we have to be able
18:56to take responsibility for the things
18:58that happen to us. In other words, you
19:02have to be able to see that, often, the
19:04problem is indeed in you, that often
19:06the fault is indeed yours. And if you
19:08can change who you are and the way you
19:10react to the things that happen to you,
19:13then you will be able to change your
19:15external world. Everything external is
19:17connected to your self-image. And you
19:20currently live at a specific frequency,
19:22where you have a specific ceiling.
19:24There are people who live at totally
19:26different frequencies and there is
19:27indeed the possibility of a version of
19:29you that earns much more money, that
19:31has a much better relationship, and so
19:33on. But these realities are not yet
19:35available to you, because you do not
19:37yet live at that frequency. And you
19:39will only be able to live at this new
19:41frequency when your self-image is in
19:43accordance with it. This is basically a
19:46pattern, it is a set point that is a
19:48ceiling where you always get stuck.
19:50Whether it's financial,
19:52relationship-wise, or any other area of
19:54our life, there is always this set
19:57point and we cannot advance to the next
19:59level without changing who we are. And
20:02to change this, you need to look at it
20:04as if it were a mirror. So, there is no
20:06way for me to change the reflection
20:08that is being reflected in the mirror
20:09without changing the image. I need to
20:11change the image first so that the
20:13reflection then changes. This is so
20:15important that I’m going to tell you
20:17a series of cases to fix this in your
20:19head so you don’t watch this and just
20:21forget it. I want these stories to be
20:23so impactful that you’ll remember
20:25them. The first case is the guy who
20:26created the Hilton hotel chain. He used
20:29to say that when he was a child, he
20:31would play at being a hotel owner, and
20:33as a teenager, he imagined himself
20:35managing hotels. And what happened was
20:37that even decades before he had the
20:40money to buy a hotel, he already saw
20:42himself as the owner of several hotels.
20:44And when it finally happened, it was
20:46natural, because he had already
20:47imagined what it would be like.
20:49Napoleon, for example, before becoming
20:51the commander he turned into, wrote,
20:53according to records, 400 pages
20:55imagining himself as a general. He drew
20:58tactical maps, imagining where he would
21:00set up his defense. He calculated
21:02positions using mathematics. All of
21:05this in his imagination before any real
21:07battle. And the interesting thing here
21:10isn't just about these specific cases I
21:12told you about, but if you are a
21:15minimally curious person and research
21:17the people you admire, badass people
21:20from history who built impactful things
21:22, who made art, who made history, you
21:25will realize that many of them used
21:27this type of exercise of imagining
21:29things happening even before they
21:32actually did. Michael Jackson, Michael
21:35Phelps, Beyoncé, among many other
21:37incredible examples. Ben Hogan, the
21:39golf legend, imagined every single shot
21:42before it even happened. He physically
21:45felt every movement, gripping the club,
21:47the ball being struck; every detail was
21:50imagined by him before anything
21:52happened physically. And when it did
21:55happen, his muscles already knew what
21:57to do. And beyond these cases, I’ll
21:59tell you about just two more scientific
22:01experiments that prove everything I’m
22:02telling you here. The first one was
22:04when they took three groups of students
22:06to test basketball shooting, to improve
22:08their basketball shots. Group one
22:10trained physically for 20 minutes a day
22:13for 20 days. Group two did absolutely
22:16nothing, and group three spent just 20
22:18minutes a day imagining shooting balls.
22:21The result was that group one improved
22:23by 24%, group two improved by zero,
22:26obviously, and group three, which only
22:28imagined it, improved by 23%. Almost
22:31the same as those who spent time
22:33training physically. The second
22:36experiment was when they took an
22:38athlete and measured his strength on a
22:40dynamometer, his hand strength, and it
22:41was 45 kg of force. After that, they
22:45put him under hypnosis for a few
22:47minutes and then, when they woke him up
22:49from that hypnosis, they measured him
22:50again and he had 57 kg of strength. And
22:54during that hypnosis, what they kept
22:56saying while hypnotizing him was that
22:57he was stronger, that he had more
22:59strength. What happened wasn't that he
23:02gained muscle in 3 minutes, because
23:04that's impossible, but it's as if a
23:06mental block had been removed,
23:08releasing the strength he already had.
23:11I hope everything I'm saying here is
23:13showing you that you are what you
23:14believe you are. And this can change
23:17everything if you practice it in your
23:19life and understand it with every cell
23:20of your being. And perhaps you're
23:23already thinking: "Okay, but I've
23:24already tried affirmation techniques,
23:26I've tried faking it 'til I make it,"
23:27but I'm here to tell you that none of
23:29this will work if done superficially.
23:32Convincing yourself of something real
23:35without working on your subconscious
23:37won't work, because they are two
23:39separate layers of our mind, and one is
23:41much deeper: the subconscious. Imagine
23:44that your subconscious has had evidence
23:46for 20, 30 years of one thing and you
23:48keep trying to convince it otherwise.
23:51This won't work unless you truly work
23:53on it deeply, changing your self-image
23:55and providing evidence of your new
23:57image. Real change will happen when you
24:01change that image you have of yourself
24:03at the deepest, most sensory and
24:05emotional level possible. It's not
24:08about repeating words; it's about a
24:10vivid and deep mental rehearsal. And
24:13everything that came before in this
24:15video was to prepare you for what comes
24:17now. I want to show you exactly how to
24:19do all of this. Grab a pen and paper;
24:21if you've watched my other video, you
24:23already know what comes next and you
24:25already know how much I love pen and
24:26paper. And practice this for real, not
24:29superficially, not just by watching
24:31this video, but do it and see what
24:32happens. One of the most important
24:36steps you must take now is to recognize
24:38your entire life pattern without
24:40judgment. You need to look at what is
24:43happening and understand what is going
24:44on. So, for this, grab a piece of paper
24:47and write down how much you earn today.
24:48About how long have you been earning
24:50that same amount? Have you tried harder
24:53to increase that amount and it still
24:54didn't work out? How much do you weigh?
24:56About how long have you weighed that
24:59number? What are your relationships
25:00like? Do you always attract the same
25:02type of person? What is that type of
25:03person like? What are your friends like
25:05? Do they lift you up or bring you down
25:07? What style of routine do you have?
25:11Are you always complaining, or are you
25:13always grateful? What are the things
25:15you usually do with consistency? How
25:17have you been spending your time? How
25:19do you talk about yourself when no one
25:21is around? Anyway, there are so many
25:24exercise possibilities within this for
25:27you to self-reflect, see yourself, and
25:29understand who you are. When you do
25:31this, you start to understand your
25:33current frequency, your ceiling, your
25:35set point. And if you don't change this
25:38, if you don't change your self-image,
25:40this will continue for a very, very,
25:41very long time, perhaps forever. Now,
25:45the next step is to know exactly who
25:47your ideal self is, which is the ideal
25:49person you wish to become. But this is
25:52where most people go wrong, because
25:54they write generic things, like, I want
25:56to be more disciplined, I want a better
25:58relationship, I want to be thin. But
26:00that is not going to work. You need
26:02something deep and specific to give to
26:04your brain. Your mission here is to
26:07literally draw out every specific
26:09detail of this person. And I did this
26:13back then, and you have no idea how
26:15much it transformed me, because I knew
26:17exactly who I wanted to become. And
26:20even though I may not have done
26:21everything I wrote in that notebook yet
26:23, I know I am on the path to becoming
26:24that person. And when I talk about
26:27being specific, I really mean being
26:28specific. Like: you are going to write
26:32what this person is like, in every
26:34detail: appearance, mindset, habits,
26:36friends, routine, environment, how they
26:39are perceived, what they do, how they
26:41use their free time, what they read,
26:44what they watch. And also add visual
26:47references so you can see it. And all
26:51this isn't just for you to see it as if
26:53on a pedestal, you know? As something
26:55distant, something hard to achieve, but
26:58rather for you to bring what is distant
27:01closer and realize that yes, it is
27:03possible. And then, instead of seeing
27:06that goal as something very distant
27:08that only specific people can achieve,
27:10you start bringing it closer to the
27:11self-image you're creating and
27:13transforming it into something possible
27:15for you, for this new version of
27:16yourself. Now, after that, what really
27:20changed the game for me was
27:22transforming all of this into something
27:24very visual, where I could place myself
27:26in this world that I was already living
27:28in my imagination, as the person I
27:30wanted to become. And I'm not talking
27:33about just visualizing it for a minute
27:35here. Because I know many people can't
27:37even imagine what it's like to enter a
27:39flow state, where you can truly
27:41understand and imagine what every act
27:44of your day is like being this other
27:46person, what your routine is like, how
27:48you see and feel the sensations as this
27:51other person, how your reality would be
27:53as this other person. And I know this
27:56will seem crazy to a lot of people.
27:57Most people won't do even 1%of what I'm
27:59talking about here. But man, if you
28:02look at how much I've changed as living
28:04proof of this, I'm sure you'll want to
28:07try. The point here is: understand in
28:09detail and imagine in detail how that
28:12would really be. Don't just let your
28:15goals be a simple abstraction, a simple
28:17saying: "Oh, I want to do this, one day
28:20I want to do this and one day I want to
28:22be like that," but transform that into
28:24a real action plan, where you first
28:26understand what you want, how that
28:28would be in your reality, imagine it
28:30happening, start creating daily
28:32evidence that shows you that, in fact,
28:34you can indeed become that, and start,
28:36little by little, to transform into the
28:39person necessary to live that. And this
28:42can take months or it can take years.
28:44Remember that every action you take is
28:46a vote for the person you are becoming.
28:49Before any decision you make in your
28:51day, think about how this version would
28:53act, what it would say, how it would
28:55think. And then you try more and more
28:57to act as this person would act. And I
29:00know that many times you will fail and
29:02many times you won't succeed, but the
29:04simple fact of consciously trying to do
29:06this will make things happen. In the
29:09beginning, it's something forced that
29:10you have to stop and think about, that
29:12you struggle with. You often can't say
29:15no to something, you can't refuse, but
29:17then it becomes a habit and you'll
29:19realize yourself, like, wow, I actually
29:21did this and it wasn't even that hard.
29:24And the people around you will start to
29:26notice that you're changing, that
29:27you're transforming, and it all starts
29:29snowballing. And when you really start
29:31to change, the reality around you will
29:33begin to change as well. New
29:35opportunities, new people, new ideas
29:38will arrive. And this is where most
29:41people mess everything up, because here
29:43reality will feel like too much for you
29:45, it will be scary, it will be
29:46uncomfortable, you'll feel like you
29:48don't deserve it, and then you'll start
29:50to feel an urge to conflict, to pull
29:52back, to go back to your old version.
29:55You'll often want to turn down
29:57opportunities, you'll want to put it
29:58off for now. And when that happens, I
30:01need to tell you to consent to this new
30:03reality. Don't let your old reality,
30:06your old self-image, pull you back
30:08again. And sometimes this will happen,
30:11and I know it will because it happened
30:13to me. But what you need to do is keep
30:15this in mind. I am going to consent to
30:17my new reality. I am going to let it
30:19become real. Accept that it can indeed
30:21be yours, that you deserve it. Yes.
30:24When you get close to the result, your
30:26old identity will scream, it will pull
30:28at you, it will do everything to keep
30:30you from continuing to advance. You
30:32lose a little weight and then, out of
30:33nowhere, an excuse appears. Oh, because
30:35it's someone's birthday, or a wedding,
30:37or a holiday, or I have a trip. There's
30:40always a way for something to happen.
30:41And it's the same thing with money. You
30:43get some money and suddenly a debt
30:45appears or you lend the money to
30:46someone. Same thing with relationships.
30:48You're happy, but then it feels like
30:50you're too happy. So you create a
30:51problem where there isn't one. And I
30:52know this because it happened to me.
30:54And this happens because you still
30:56don't identify with that new result.
30:58And your brain is trying to get you out
31:00of the unknown and back into the known.
31:03It's your set point pulling you back.
31:05It's your old self-image dragging you
31:06back. When this happens, and it will
31:08happen, you need to remember that you
31:10are this new person. Now you are
31:12changing, and that's okay. You deserve
31:14it. And that there is just your old
31:16identity trying to survive. Let it go.
31:19Breathe. Sometimes you will mess up and
31:22it will take time, but you can consent
31:23to this new version of yourself and you
31:25can change. Molt, back in 1960, already
31:29said something very simple that really
31:31works: try to change one small thing in
31:33your day today, even if it's silly,
31:35even if it's as silly as, "oh, I'm
31:36going to put on my left shoe instead of
31:38my right one, I'm going to eat with the
31:40hand I'm not used to." Anyway, this
31:43kind of small thing shows your brain
31:45that you can indeed change. So, every
31:48day you give proof that the version you
31:50were before, you are no longer. You
31:52loosen up that autopilot a bit and
31:55start observing things and letting the
31:58new in, letting opportunities in. And
32:01then your self-image will start, as it
32:03begins to accept changes on a small
32:05scale, it will begin to accept changes
32:07on a large scale over time. And lastly,
32:10don't go around talking about your
32:12goals to the people around you. I know
32:14that for some people it seems kind of
32:16obvious and for others it seems a bit
32:18counterintuitive, but I'll tell you why
32:19. There are two reasons that I believe
32:21defend this idea very well. The first
32:23is that the people who have known you
32:25for a long time already have your old
32:27self-image, your current self-image, in
32:30their heads. For them, it's strange to
32:32see you changing and, unintentionally,
32:34they end up helping to pull you back to
32:37your old pattern with some jokes, with
32:39some phrases, or simply by not
32:40understanding why you're doing such a
32:42thing. And the second reason is that
32:45talking about your goals gives a false
32:47sense that you've already achieved them
32:49. And then, at that moment, your sense
32:51of urgency decreases and your hunger to
32:53make that happen will also decrease.
32:55There's a neuroscience study that shows
32:57that telling someone a goal reduces the
32:59probability of accomplishing it. So, do
33:01the following: do it in silence, stay
33:03quiet, study, practice, study, practice
33:06, make mistakes. Either way, this will
33:09take time, but you don't need to go
33:10around telling everyone and expecting
33:13them to understand you and support you.
33:16Let your results speak louder and let
33:18people notice your change. And man, to
33:21finish, I'll tell you a truth that was
33:23very impactful when I understood it,
33:25and it really came from my personal
33:26experience, which is: the hardest thing
33:28in your life isn't losing weight, it
33:30isn't making money, it isn't building a
33:32business. it's changing who you are,
33:35it's letting go of the version of us
33:37that has been stuck to us for all these
33:38years. it's accepting that what brought
33:41you here won't take you to the next
33:43point. That is why most people don't
33:46change. And clearly if you're here, you
33:48already understood it's not a lack of
33:50knowledge, especially because you know
33:51there are millions of other videos like
33:53this on the same subject. There are
33:55books, there is content, but what's
33:58missing is the courage to kill who we
34:00were, to kill our old version so the
34:02new one can emerge. And I know this is
34:05often scary, but it's the only thing
34:07that will really change everything for
34:09you, because when this death happens,
34:11everything else will come as a
34:12consequence. All those results you
34:14imagine, that you want, will come as a
34:17consequence of your new self-image.
34:19It’s as if the roles were reversed.
34:21Instead of you going in search of that,
34:24that will come in search of you
34:25automatically with the new person you
34:27have become. There is no fast track.
34:30But I once saw a phrase that is very
34:32real and that phrase is: "The sooner
34:34you understand that it will take longer
34:36than you wanted, the sooner things
34:38start to change faster than you
34:40expected." So, even if this is a slow
34:44process from now on, it may be that in
34:462, 3, 4 years you are a completely
34:48different person and you have results
34:50in your life that you look at and see
34:53that it's what you really wanted and
34:55you identify with who you are. A year
34:59from now, you might come back here to
35:01comment on how much you changed after
35:03watching and applying this video. And
35:05remember that this person will exist
35:07not because you worked harder or tried
35:09harder or studied more, but because you
35:11changed what you really had to change,
35:13which is yourself. I am living proof of
35:16this, and if I can do it, anyone can.
35:19What I did was discover this mechanism,
35:21study a lot, apply it for a long time,
35:24enough time, and even when I failed, I
35:26went back to doing it and continued
35:29until it worked. Do the following: if
35:31you are going to do everything I told
35:33you here, comment below because I
35:34really want to know how many people I
35:36impacted with this video. And remember
35:38the main phrase: "You are who you
35:40believe you are" and you can change
35:42that belief. Thank you so much for
35:44watching this far.
