SPEAKER_00 (01:04):
Over the weekend, I
decided to do a little bit of
studying, a little bit ofreading, and I read a great book
by Florence Scovelchin.
It's called The Game of Life andHow to Play It.
When we come here to this worldand we're going to school and
we're being educated, whilewe're being taught about math
(01:26):
and science and all these othertopics, the one topic that no
one really teaches us about atall is how to win the game of
life.
So today, what we're going to dois I'm going to review some of
the key elements of that bookand we'll discuss it.
So we're going to be discussingthree different elements which
(01:47):
make up the fundamental laws ofthe game.
One is the law of vibration, twois the law of expectation, and
three is the law ofnonresistance.
We're going to get into each oneof them and we're going to do
one at a time.
So under the law of vibration,it talks about your words create
vibrations or your words createfeelings that reorganize the
(02:11):
matter around you.
So what does that mean when itreorganizes the matter around
us?
It means that whatever we speak,we will see in our outside
world.
So if I say to myself, today'sgoing to be a crappy day, I can
almost be guaranteed that whatwill show up in my day at work,
(02:31):
with my spouse, after work,things will show up to make it a
crappy day because our wordshave extreme power.
We are creators.
We are a part of God.
And when we speak, we have thisincredible power.
Unfortunately, what happens mostof the time is we're speaking
words of negativity andwondering why life isn't working
(02:56):
the way that we want it to work.
However, it is working the waythat we're wanting it to work
because we're speaking wordsthat the subconscious, God, that
piece of God within us, believesthis is what we want because
we're speaking it out loud.
We're thinking about itconsistently.
(03:16):
So therefore it shows up in ourworld.
So that law of vibration comesthe way that we feel comes from
the words that we speak and thethoughts that we think.
So let's talk about that.
The power of words and thought.
Our words are commands.
The subconscious mind processesmillions of pieces of
(03:38):
information per second, and itaccepts every single word you
pronounce is literalinstructions to be executed.
If we knew that, if we weretaught that from the very
beginning, we would be very,very careful what we would speak
into existence, what we wouldsay out loud to other people.
How many times do you say thewords when someone asks you, How
(03:59):
are you doing?
I don't have anything tocomplain about.
Not bad.
Just okay.
I'm all right.
When we speak those words, whatwe're telling the universe is
this is what we want.
When you say any variation of Ican't, your subconscious
immediately organizes yourperception, your choices, and
(04:21):
your actions to confirm thatyou're right.
Let's look at that one moretime.
It says, when you say anyvariation of the word I can't,
your subconscious immediatelyorganizes your perception,
choices, and actions to confirmthat you are right.
If someone at work asks, can youwork on this project?
(04:41):
and you say, I can't, I don'tknow enough to be able to do
that.
What you've just told yoursubconscious mind is that you
don't know enough.
But if you change those wordsaround and you say instead, I've
never done that before, but I'llfigure out a way and I'll do the
best that I can.
(05:01):
You just gave a very differentcommand to your subconscious
mind.
And what do you think happens ifyou go into that project, having
said what you just said?
You think you have a betterlikelihood of things working
out?
Of course you do, because youjust spoke it into existence.
Your words are powerful.
Your words create, your wordsare commands.
(05:24):
They determine what yourexperience in the world is going
to be.
So we really, it's important forus to pay attention when we're
speaking.
And if someone asks you aquestion, you don't have to
answer that question right away.
You can pause, you can thinkabout it, you can say, hold on,
let me just think about this fora second.
(05:45):
And really think about the wordsthat you want to speak when
someone asks you a question.
What are some of the words thatyou speak about money?
Are they positive words orsometimes negative?
If someone says to you, whydon't you get a new car, what
would your response be to that?
Would it be, well, right now Ireally just don't want a car?
(06:07):
Or would it be, I don't reallyhave the money to do that right
now?
Things are a little bit tight.
When I say I don't have themoney for that now and things
are tight, what I amguaranteeing myself is that
what's going to show up in myexperience is more things to be
tight about money for.
It doesn't mean that we shouldgo out and buy the car if we
(06:29):
don't have the money to do it.
But our words that we can speakare I don't really want the car
right now.
I have other things that I'drather get instead.
That's communicating a verydifferent message to the
subconscious, to that peace ofGod that exists within us.
And so we really have to payattention to the words that
(06:49):
we're speaking.
It'd be very interesting ifthroughout your day it recorded
every single word that youspoke.
What do you think, if you gotthat transcript of your day and
all the words that you spoke,what do you think would be
consistent phrases that you saythroughout the day?
And when you saw that, you wouldhighlight there's probably a lot
(07:11):
of negative things that I'msaying.
And you may be wondering, why amI experiencing that negativity
on a consistent basis?
And it's because you're speakingthe words into existence.
You're telling God within you,the subconscious mind that goes
into action, giving you what youwant.
It will give you the things thatyou don't want if you speak
(07:34):
things about what you don't wantinto the universe.
So just understand that you havea ton of power with the words
that you choose to speak.
And by the way, it's not yourfault either, because your
parents, your friends, yourteachers, they spoke words to
you on a consistent basis.
And those words became habitualphrases for you or beliefs.
(07:58):
So if your parents always weretight with money, maybe they
said something like, Moneydoesn't grow on trees.
You better be careful, don'tspend so much, you're gonna run
out of money.
Those words that were spoken tous, not only do they create a
program inside of us, but thosesame words a lot of times become
(08:19):
the words that we speak outloud.
And then we wonder why not onlyare we having issues with money,
but why are our children havingissues with money?
Now, it may not be money thatyou're negative on.
Maybe you're negative aboutrelationships, maybe you're
negative about your career,maybe you're negative about your
health.
And isn't it interesting thatprobably your children are also
(08:44):
speaking similar words thatyou're speaking because the
words that we hear consistentlyget programmed into our
subconscious mind and thenbecome our program and our
children's program and theirchildren's program.
And we wonder why things don'tchange.
It's because no one discussedthis process.
(09:04):
They didn't discuss the game oflife and how to play it.
So we have to understand thatthe words that we speak are
commands to the universe.
They're saying, This is what Iwant more of.
Oh, my wife, she's alwaysnagging, she's always
complaining.
If I speak those words out loud,that is a command to the
universe, and I can be almostguaranteed that she's gonna
(09:27):
complain more and do morethings.
If I'm talking to a friend and Italk negatively about another
friend and how they're alwaysjudgmental, I can almost
guarantee the next time that I'maround that person, there's
gonna be a lot more judgmentsgoing on.
It's because our words arepowerful, our words create.
God created in the universe bysaying, let there be light.
(09:49):
And then there was light.
He spoke those words intoexistence.
When we speak our words, ourwords create.
That's very important tounderstand.
And then again, the second pieceto that is again, our words are
commands, but the programs, whenwe speak the words often, when
we say them over and over, mywife is nagging me, I don't have
(10:12):
enough money, I'm overweight, Ineed to lose weight.
If we say those things over andover, what happens is because
there's a repetition and the waythat our brain works, it gets
burned in, it gets burned intoour brain and it becomes a
program in our subconscious mindand it becomes a limiting
(10:32):
belief.
And so these beliefs that wehave are often created either by
someone speaking them to us orby us speaking them to ourselves
over and over, then we get whathappens is it forms a belief.
So again, if I say to myself, Ican never lose weight no matter
what I do, if I say that enoughtimes out loud, that will become
(10:55):
a belief.
And it is literally locked inand it's a belief now at this
point.
I don't even have to think aboutit.
The next time someone sayssomething about losing weight,
I'll say out loud, it's veryhard for me to lose weight
because that is locked in.
It's burned in in my brain, itis part of my subconscious mind.
Here's the great news.
If that's the case, then what wecan do instead is we can use the
(11:19):
words that we're speaking tocreate beliefs that will support
us.
Example, in that same case,instead of me saying it's hard
for me to lose weight, he said,when I commit to doing
something, I always get what Iwant.
Therefore, if I commit to losingweight, I know I'll lose the
weight.
Now, if I say that and I mean itand I say it over and over and
(11:43):
over again, eventually that willbecome my new belief because my
words are powerful.
My words create, and whatthey're going to create is this
new association in my brain,which actually believes that
that is the truth.
Because the subconscious minddoesn't question whether it's
true or false.
(12:04):
It just takes it in and believesit to be the case.
So whatever I say, good or bad,the subconscious is going to
say, okay, Mike, I got you.
I believe you.
That that's going to be yourreality.
So if I know that this is therule of the game, the rule is
the words you speak, you speakthem often enough, will become a
(12:25):
belief, and that belief will beburnt in and it will become your
way of being.
Then I want to use this rule tomy advantage rather than have it
use me.
So it moving forward, I'm goingto look for opportunities to
speak words of what I do want tocreate in the world as if I
already have them in the presenttense.
(12:45):
Let's use an example.
Let's say I want to start a newbusiness.
Instead of me saying out loud, Ireally want to start a new
business, I'm going to say it inthe present tense.
I am starting a new businessthat is really successful and is
going to help a lot of people.
That's in the present tense.
(13:06):
Now, if I say that enough times,based on what we've been saying,
what's going to happen?
It's going to be burnt in.
It's going to become a belief,and the subconscious mind will
look for opportunities to giveyou what you want.
Now, something important here.
The words we speak are way morepowerful than the thoughts that
(13:29):
we think.
Thoughts, if we think themenough over and over and over
again, they definitely havepower.
But think of the spoken word asour thoughts on steroids.
So whatever we're saying outloud, we can be assured that
we're going to get more of thatin our life.
So if you look at your life andyou don't like the things that
(13:50):
you're seeing, then what I wouldhighly recommend is start
changing the words that you'respeaking.
Even if you don't believe it atfirst, even if you say to
yourself, that's that'snonsense.
If you say it enough, eventuallywhat will happen is it will
become a belief.
And once it's a belief, thatwill be the truth for you.
(14:11):
All of your negative thoughts,all of your negative beliefs,
I'm not good enough, I'm notsmart, I'm not this, I'm not
that.
They got locked in either byyour parents saying it to you, a
friend saying it to you, afamily member saying it to you,
or you saying it to you.
And if you say it to you enough,you're gonna have that, and that
(14:32):
is going to rule your life.
What do you think about this sofar?
Are our words really thatpowerful?
Can we use our words toreprogram some of these limiting
beliefs that we have inside?
And is our spoken word reallythat much more powerful than the
(14:53):
thoughts that we're thinking?
Again, the good news there isthe spoken word carries
concentrated power compared toour thought alone.
The vibration of us actuallyspeaking it out loud is just way
more powerful.
We're putting it out into theuniverse.
Imagine for a second that youhave a genie bottle in front of
(15:15):
you.
And every single word that youspeak, it's as if the genie is
sitting in front of you and saysto you, Michael, your wish is my
command.
I say, I really don't feel welltoday.
And it may be true, there may bevalidity, your body doesn't feel
good, but if I speak it outloud, I can be guaranteed that
(15:36):
I'm gonna have more of the same.
What I could say instead is, Iwoke up and I was feeling a
little bit off, but I believethat throughout the day, I'm
gonna start feeling better andbetter.
Now, if the genie is sitting infront of us, our subconscious
mind, and the genie doesn'tnecessarily care whether it's
(15:57):
good or bad, they're just gonnagive you whatever you ask for.
If I say that, what do you thinkis gonna happen?
Potentially I'll start feeling alittle bit better throughout the
day because that's my creation.
But when you're not feelingwell, what do you always do?
Do you if a friend asks you orsomeone calls you, a parent, and
you're not feeling well, what doyou say out loud to them?
(16:18):
Typically it's I don't feelreally good.
I feel like crap.
I woke up really, I feelsomething coming on.
And then what ends up happeningafter you say that?
It ends up coming on and you endup feeling really bad.
Our words are powerful.
The problem is we've nevertested it in the opposite way.
When you were sick, did you evertake the opportunity to say, I
(16:41):
woke up feeling a little bitunder the weather, but I'm
getting better every moment asevery moment passes.
We have power in our words.
We have a choice.
We can choose to speak the sameold words that we've always
spoken and continue to get thesame results that we've always
gotten and continue to get thesame things showing up in our
(17:02):
life, or we can say, I'm gonnado it a little bit differently.
I'm going to really focus on thewords that I'm speaking and what
I'm gonna put out into theuniverse is what I want.
If you use this, if you use thispower, if you use these, this,
this rule, this game, this rulefor the game of life to your
(17:23):
advantage, what do you thinkmight happen?
And I can tell you, I know whatwill happen.
And I'm not just speaking itbased on what I've experienced
in my life, but with all theclients that I've worked with.
When I first told them this,they thought, yeah, I don't know
about that.
I don't know how that wouldreally work.
And then what ends up happeningis a few months down the road,
(17:47):
it's working really well.
And then by six months down theroad, it's like night and day.
They realize that I really haveto focus on the words that I'm
speaking because if I speak thewords of what I don't want, I'm
guaranteed to get more of what Idon't want.
So rather than doing that, I'mgoing to speak words of what I
(18:07):
want in the present tense.
Does this make sense?
Can you see how sometimes youcan use your words in a negative
way?
And it's not that you're eventhinking about it.
These are programmed responsesbecause you've been saying them
for so long.
So rather than having theprogram run you, which it's been
(18:28):
doing for many, many years, it'stime for us to use the game to
our advantage and to use theserules to help us.
So that's part one.
Now I want to talk aboutsomething else that's really
important here.
We talked about these beliefs,and we talked about the
importance of beliefs and howbeliefs are created, right?
(18:49):
The beliefs are created by thewords that we speak over and
(19:31):
over again or words that werespoken to us over and over
again.
And the way that we reprogramthose is to just speak words
that we want, things that wewant rather than things that we
don't want.
And what we'll find is if we dothat enough, we're gonna
reprogram.
In order for us to see what wewant in our life, besides
(19:51):
speaking the words and creatingthese new beliefs, we have to
have faith and expect that whenwe speak, these things will
actually occur.
We have to have a belief andfaith.
And the beauty is belief comesfrom speaking the same words
over and over and over again.
You may not believe it at first,but you will believe it after
(20:12):
you speak it for a little while.
Just keep doing it and you'llsee.
You will not be able to prove mewrong if you do this work.
If you practice saying the samethings over and over, it will
become a belief.
Most people walk around withwhat's in what's called inverted
faith.
And what does that mean?
Most people are masters of thisinverted faith.
(20:35):
They have absolute certainty inthe negative that if they don't
work hard, they will experienceneed, or if they don't pay the
bills, they will have problems.
These negative certaintiesmanifest the same precision as
positive ones.
So again, we've become mastersat speaking about what we don't
want.
We just need to form a new habitof speaking the words that we do
(20:59):
want.
And just like we created thisfaith in these negative words,
like knowing that, oh, I woke upfeeling sick.
So my day is going to be ruined.
As long as we believe that,which we do now because we've
spoken those words so many timesand we've gone to the day, and
then we felt worse and worse.
We have belief.
The belief only came from doingit over and over again, from the
(21:23):
speaking those words over andover.
Rather than having invertedfaith, why not create faith
based on speaking the words thatwe want?
Not speaking programmed words.
The negative beliefs that youhave are programmed.
They're words that you've spokenover and over and over again.
(21:43):
And all we need to do is speakinto existence the opposite.
So, what is a phrase that Icommonly hear?
I'm not good enough to do that.
Well, if we say that, we'renever going to do the things
that we think that we're notgood enough for.
But if we say to ourselves,every single day, I work and get
(22:05):
just a little bit better, or Iget 1% better every single day.
Well, if you get 1% better everysingle day in a year, that
compounds and that's asignificant difference in your
life.
And the way to do that is justpractice doing this.
Practice catching yourself.
Someone asks you a question, yourespond with a negative or a
(22:29):
very low neutral phrase, like,yeah, I'm okay.
How are you doing, Mike?
I'm okay.
No, don't answer that.
I'm doing really great.
And the day is getting better aseach moment passes.
Why can't we have that?
Because we don't speak it.
Because instead, what we say is,hey Mike, how are you doing?
(22:50):
I'm doing all right.
I can't complain.
And then this is what weexperience in our day is nothing
to complain about.
What kind of way is that tolive?
Again, it's not your fault.
No one ever taught you therules.
No one ever spoke about thiswith you.
And it's time now to use theserules to our advantage, because
(23:10):
if we don't, we'll continue tohave another five, 10, 15, 20
years of the same.
And the way around that, thefirst starting point is using
words that will support us andthat will create beliefs
internally that will support usin getting the things that we
want in our life.
If you don't believe inyourself, if you don't speak
(23:30):
positive words about yourself,there's no one else that's going
to do it for you.
I mean, maybe someone will saysomething positive to you, but
you're the one who has to do theprogramming of yourself.
Now, you can use words to helpprogram other people.
Anytime you hear someone saysomething negative, you correct
them and say, no, Joe, you'renot, you're, you're not bad at
(23:51):
that.
You just don't have as muchexperience as the other person.
And you're going to keeppracticing and you're going to
get better and better.
And before you know it, you'regoing to be really good at what
you do.
This is practicing using thewords to get the things that we
want in our life.
Now, doubt, doubt is aninteresting thing, right?
We talked about faith.
We talked about inverted faith.
(24:13):
And I just want to hit doubthere really quick.
Doubt is called the poison thatkills manifestation before it's
born.
When we start doubting, so if Isay the words out loud, my day
is going to get better each andevery moment.
And then immediately my thoughtsare consistently, that's not
true.
You can't do this.
(24:34):
This stuff doesn't work.
That's like taking a seed toplant in a garden.
And instead of allowing it togrow, you keep pulling the seed
out of the soil and looking atit.
And then you put it back in theground, you start watering it,
and it's not growing.
And then you pull it out and youlook at it again.
You put it back in the ground.
If you do that, guess what'sgoing to happen?
(24:57):
That's the same thing as doubt.
Doubt is pulling the seed out ofthe ground and keep looking at
it and expecting that that seedwill grow.
What we need to do is put theseed in the ground and water it
and just allow it to do itsthing.
So if we trust that thesubconscious mind, which is in
(25:18):
control of every system in ourbody, including your liver, your
kidneys, your heart, every organis functioning, you're breathing
because of this amazingness thatexists inside of you, the
subconscious, which is a part ofGod, then we might as well have
faith that when, since thesubconscious can take care of
(25:38):
all these incredible systems,that if I give this over to the
subconscious, that I'm gonnahave faith that it's gonna take
care of it.
I just have to keep planting theseed.
I got to keep watering the seed.
And the way that I water theseed is by speaking words that
are affirming to what it is thatI want.
(25:59):
And also thinking the thoughtstoo.
Instead of having the doubt,right?
I want to start a new businessand I speak words that say, I am
starting a successful business.
And then I would have thatimmediate thought of I've tried
this in the past and it didn'twork.
As soon as that doubt comes up,what we can do instead, two
(26:23):
things.
We can go to gratitude and say,I'm so grateful to even have the
opportunity to be able to speakpositive words and think
positively, right?
We could be grateful.
Number two is we can say, I amgrateful for this incredible
peace of God that exists insideof me, that's running my heart,
that's causing everything tofunction in my body, that has
(26:45):
created all these veins in mybody where all the blood travels
through and it filters out thebad from the blood and it allows
me to keep functioning.
If it can do that, we can havefaith and we can turn over doubt
and have faith to that partthat's inside of us that is
giving us so many amazingthings, and we can be grateful
(27:08):
for that, and that will helpchange the negative tone that we
might have, that doubt, thatinverted faith that we become so
accustomed to.
So rather than going down thatpath, let's try something
different and let's do itconsistently.
Now, you can't plant the seedand wait three days and say, oh,
it's not working, the plantisn't growing, and then pull the
(27:31):
seed out because you startdoubting.
No, you just do thisconsistently and have faith and
let the subconscious mind, thepeace of God that's in you, do
what it needs to do to make surethat you get the ideas, the
thoughts, the people, and allthe things that need to come
into your life to have what youwant to have happen.
To have the power of your wordscreate what it is that you want
(27:55):
in your life.
Is this making sense?
Do you think you can do this?
I know you can do it.
I am so sure you can do itbecause I've watched so many
people do this.
I've watched people who were incomplete doubt, not getting
results at all in theirbusiness, turn it around
incredibly because they startedspeaking words that were words
(28:18):
that they wanted to have intheir life.
And they started to believe andthey started to have faith.
And they anytime this negativitywould come up, they would just
quickly turn it around.
They wouldn't pull the seed out.
Don't pull the seed out withdoubt.
Doubt will cause you to pull theseed out.
And we want to keep that seed inthe ground and keep watering it
with faith.
(28:39):
And the faith is keep speakingwords of what it is that you
want.
And before you know it, you willnow have locked in this new
belief.
I want to hit one more thing fortoday.
There's a lot we could reallycontinue to talk about, but
let's just do a quick review ofwhere we're at.
And I want to talk about onemore thing.
We talked about the power of ourwords and thought.
Our words are commands that wegive to the universe, which
(29:01):
create.
Now, words of negativity alsocreate.
And these words of negativity,when we speak them enough, they
create limiting beliefs.
If we speak words of positivity,they will create things that we
want.
Our spoken word is way morepowerful than our thoughts.
Although we want to shift both,our spoken word is very
(29:23):
important.
We talked about belief.
Belief must precede what we see.
And we talked about how mostpeople have inverted faith.
They have this belief in thenegative because this is what
they've seen over and overagain.
And we talked about the role ofdoubt.
Doubt is what causes us to pullthat seed out and not get the
(29:44):
plant to actually grow.
And instead, what we learned howto do is we're going to speak
words of what we want, not wordsof what we don't want.
We're going to trust that sourceinside of us, that piece of God
that's there, to give us more ofwhat we want.
Now, the last thing that I wantto speak about is there's
something called the paradox ofnon-resistance.
(30:04):
What does that mean?
Resistance feeds the problem.
It means when you fight againstsomething, for example, poverty
or disease, the more power yougive to it, the more you resist
something in your life, the moreyou will have of that thing.
Non-resistance is key.
And here's what I mean (30:24):
the more
resistance we show, the less
likely it will ever come.
Let me use it an example.
If you're in sales or have everbeen in sales, when you're
constantly trying to resist,meaning you're trying to control
a situation, it must be thisway.
(30:44):
I can't trust that this piece ofGod inside of me is going to
give me the right words to helpme get what I want.
And I resist that.
What's going to happen is we'regoing to not get what we want.
I was in the mortgage businessfor a very short period of time.
And I was trying and trying andtrying to get sales.
(31:06):
And I was resisting just beingrelaxed and peaceful.
Instead, I was trying to liketoo hard and I was trying to
control everything to get what Iwanted.
And I remember finally giving upresistance and saying, I'm done.
I'm not doing this anymore.
And then I got a phone call.
And from that place of nonresistance, I got a phone call
(31:29):
from a person that wasinterested in getting
information on a mortgage.
And I basically, without tryingto do anything, just gave them
some basic information and said,look, if you're interested,
you'll let me know.
And you know what they said tome?
The first time in all the timesI was trying to make the sale, I
didn't resist.
And immediately what happened?
I got the sale.
(31:50):
Just like that.
I didn't have to do anything.
When we resist, it persists.
So we really have to be carefuland we have to let go and let
God.
We have to let go and trust thatthat inner power will handle
things.
Our job is to speak the words,to have faith, to take action,
(32:12):
but to take action from apeaceful place, from a place of
non-resistance.
And if we can do that, what'sgoing to happen is we're going
to start to create all thethings that we want in our life.
I'm going to pause here becauseI could go on for another hour,
but I think this is a very goodplace to pause.
(32:32):
And your homework assignment forthis week is this start paying
attention to the words thatyou're speaking.
And just notice when you speakwords of negativity, ask
yourself, does this often showup in my life?
And what you're going to find isthe answer is, of course it
does.
And so what you can do is justshift.
(32:53):
And instead of saying thatnegative things, you'll say a
positive thing.
You'll say something that youwant to have in your life in
present tense.
And rather than letting yourthoughts take over, we're going
to have faith.
We're going to trust that peaceinside of us that's running
everything.
And we're going to say, I'mtrusting you, God.
I'm trusting you, subconscious,that you will know the best way
(33:16):
to handle this.
And you'll give me the thoughts,ideas, and words that I need to
get more of what I want.
You'll help me take the actionsthat I need to get what I want.
No resistance.
We just allow the process tounfold.
We can't resist the seed that'splanted in the ground and keep
pulling it out and looking atit.
(33:37):
We have to leave it in and waterit.
Keep watering your seed, and youwill see your life will change.
That's it for this week.
Have a great week and just keeppracticing and doing the work.
And when you do that, you'llhave more of what you want in
your life.
