  1. 0:00Today I'd like to talk about repetition.
  2. 0:03There's a scientist named Robert Milikin
  3. 0:06who learned the power of repetition by
  4. 0:08doing an extreme example of affirming
  5. 0:11that I'd like to tell you about. Cool
  6. 0:13story. Milikin's father was a traveling
  7. 0:16minister when he was a boy and there was
  8. 0:18never enough money for the family. He
  9. 0:20learned by living in poverty that he was
  10. 0:22tired of being poor and decided to
  11. 0:24change that. So he locked himself in a
  12. 0:27room for 16 straight hours and he
  13. 0:30affirmed over and over again, "I have a
  14. 0:33lavish, steady, dependable income
  15. 0:36consistent with integrity and mutual
  16. 0:39benefit." Dr. Milikin wrote his dream of
  17. 0:43greatness and security in the first
  18. 0:45person, present tense. He did not say,
  19. 0:48"I will be great. I will be secure
  20. 0:50someday in the future." for that would
  21. 0:52have implied that he was not great and
  22. 0:54secure right now. Instead, he made his
  23. 0:58future dream a present fact. The future
  24. 1:00dream must become a present fact in the
  25. 1:03mind of the person who seeks to realize
  26. 1:06that dream. But after Melikin did this,
  27. 1:08he actually became very wealthy and
  28. 1:10achieved notoriety as a scientist,
  29. 1:13winning the Nobel Prize for physics in
  30. 1:151923.
  31. 1:16He came from nothing. But the difference
  32. 1:18is he didn't talk about what he wanted
  33. 1:21as though it was way out there in the
  34. 1:23future somewhere like I'm going to have
  35. 1:25this or I want to have this or I'm
  36. 1:27trying to manifest this. He said it as
  37. 1:30if it was so with certainty enough times
  38. 1:33for his mind to believe that it was
  39. 1:35true. Be what you wish to be right now.
  40. 1:40Milikin gave it enough time for his mind
  41. 1:42to infiltrate itself with this one
  42. 1:45singular thought long enough until it
  43. 1:47became so. It became his new truth.
  44. 1:50Maybe you and I don't have 16 hours to
  45. 1:52lock ourselves away for this long. Most
  46. 1:55of us don't. But it does beg this
  47. 1:57question about affirming a new belief
  48. 1:59for your life. Does it have to be hard?
  49. 2:02Does it have to be conscious? Do I have
  50. 2:05to think so hard?
  51. 2:07No, that doesn't have to be so hard.
  52. 2:10Now, while it's true that repetition is
  53. 2:12the way to change, how that repetition
  54. 2:15happens is entirely up to you. You need
  55. 2:18to only impress upon or trick your own
  56. 2:21subconscious mind into believing that it
  57. 2:24is true. It doesn't matter if you get
  58. 2:26repetition through awake techniques like
  59. 2:29writing, scripting, meditation, or
  60. 2:32visualization, or if you choose to use
  61. 2:35subliminals or hypnosis, sleep
  62. 2:37meditations, or other methods that don't
  63. 2:40require conscious awareness during the
  64. 2:42practice of change. You see, if you feel
  65. 2:45better, speaking your affirmation out
  66. 2:47loud, creating a vision board, putting
  67. 2:50Post-it notes on your mirror, and saying
  68. 2:52it every day, all of these methods make
  69. 2:54impressions upon change on your
  70. 2:56subconscious mind. What really matters
  71. 2:59is that you feed your mind with the new
  72. 3:01character that you'd like to become or
  73. 3:03the new thing that you'd like to achieve
  74. 3:06or things that you'd like to overcome
  75. 3:08like poverty thinking, negative
  76. 3:10thinking, self-limiting or
  77. 3:12self-sabotaging thoughts that you've
  78. 3:15lived with maybe all your life that
  79. 3:16you're tired of that you might now want
  80. 3:18to change. And it doesn't matter how old
  81. 3:20you are. This leads me to a tip that I
  82. 3:23think will help you actually get into
  83. 3:25that feeling state that what you desire
  84. 3:28is already here. Now, try asking
  85. 3:31yourself a few questions and then allow
  86. 3:33yourself time to answer them
  87. 3:35thoughtfully and thoroughly. Like this
  88. 3:38question, what would I be like if I had
  89. 3:41it all? Who would I be now? Who would be
  90. 3:45around me? What will I be doing? How
  91. 3:48would I change my life? Who would I have
  92. 3:52in my life? And most importantly, how
  93. 3:54would I feel if I already manifested
  94. 3:58that which I desire? So, you don't have
  95. 4:01to do what Milicanin did because today
  96. 4:04we have all sorts of technology and
  97. 4:06methods to help us with change that
  98. 4:08didn't exist in the early 1900s. The
  99. 4:11idea is that once you've imprinted this
  100. 4:13thing enough times that it is a new
  101. 4:15habit deep inside of your mind, you
  102. 4:18manifest immediately. That is the point
  103. 4:20of manifestation, cocreation, creating
  104. 4:23your dreams and goals or even changing a
  105. 4:26habit. After a lifetime of bad choices,
  106. 4:29everything can be changed with a shift
  107. 4:31in mindset. When you do believe that it
  108. 4:35is so, that it is reality, that every
  109. 4:37part of you just knows it to be true,
  110. 4:39that's when it happens. That thing
  111. 4:42you've been affirming, it manifests.
  112. 4:44It's created. It happens. You claim it
  113. 4:47almost as though it happened in an
  114. 4:49instant. Whether you're working on
  115. 4:52losing weight or improving your health
  116. 4:54or your financial situation or
  117. 4:56relationship, manifesting a new home or
  118. 4:59seeking your life purpose after the age
  119. 5:01of 50 or 60 or 70. You can have all of
  120. 5:05this and more with the power of your
  121. 5:06mind. It's really about what you're
  122. 5:08willing to do or not willing to do. When
  123. 5:11you just stick with it long enough,
  124. 5:13affirming over and over until you no
  125. 5:15longer have to try to convince yourself
  126. 5:17you will achieve it. almost like magic.
  127. 5:21And it is true that most people don't
  128. 5:23want to work hard on improving
  129. 5:24themselves, especially after the age of
  130. 5:2650. But that's not how I want to live
  131. 5:28because I'm never satisfied just
  132. 5:30accepting that I'm already all that I
  133. 5:32can be right now. Learning is a
  134. 5:34neverending process. And growing is a
  135. 5:36lifetime affair for those who view it
  136. 5:38that way. Stagnation is what makes
  137. 5:41people unhappy. In my opinion, it's like
  138. 5:44Maslo's hierarchy. We're born here to
  139. 5:46try to self-actualize. It's the human
  140. 5:49mind that ultimately determines how
  141. 5:52willing you are to change or how stuck
  142. 5:55you're going to stay into old thinking
  143. 5:57that might no longer serve your life.
  144. 6:00It's never too late. I hope this helps

  155. 6:24change you decide you're going to make
