T. Harv Eker argues that how you think about yourself and your life shapes your mood and what happens next. He uses a live exercise with "awesome glasses" to show how choosing a positive interpretation over a negative one actually changes your experience.
You know, one of the things that, that I've been working with a lot, it's very, very valuable, I think, is that if you notice in one of the declarations, I think it was the fourth one down. What's it say? What's it say? So far you've heard from just about everybody, and you probably will on this stage, and anybody who really understands the holistic element of life, is that your thought process is going to have a lot to do with your body. Yes or yes. I mean, literally, that's the key to it. It's not the only key to it, but it's a big key to it. Yes. So the thinking element is essential and you know, everything is perspective. Everything is what it's all the way you look at it. Yes or yes. And so literally, you know, if you have a belief system of what that you're going to be very healthy, then there's a good chance that's going to support that health. Yes or yes. I'm not saying it's going to just turn you overnight into, you know, magic, but it's a lot better than thinking you're not going to be healthy. Yes or yes. Alright. So very important the way we think here, and raise your hand if you have the privilege of being at this year's wealth and Wisdom. Wealth and Wisdom. Was that hot? Yes, they're all hot. So one of the things we did there, and I do it at some of these events, is I asked you how you were and the answer is you're what? You're awesome. What's the word? Awesome. Now, we say that for a couple of reasons. Number one is because. Why are we awesome? Okay, first of all, give me a reason as to why you're awesome. Yeah. Well, because you're alive and breathing right now. Yes. I mean, there's some beings that don't have that opportunity. Yes. And secondly, you're in a great place. Yes. And thirdly, you have much to be appreciative for. Yes or yes. And fourthly, you're awesome because you what you said, so you decided it. That's what makes you awesome. So you don't become awesome because you are awesome. You become awesome because you decide to be awesome. You don't feel good just because you feel good. You feel good because you decide to feel good. Yes or yes. So literally, you know, one of the things that I've had running since wealth and Wisdom is that it's true that, you know, the truth is that sometimes I don't feel fantastic. Sorry. Sometimes I don't and sometimes I'm a little upset, a little frustrated. You know, I have the emotional parts that come out. Anybody else relate to any of this? Yes, sometimes, once in a while. Well, let me say this right now, so I get a little support, and a little support comes in the form of these words. Don't forget to wear your awesome glasses. And those are glasses that on the front of them, everything you look at through those glasses is what? Awesome. Everything is awesome. All right? They're special glasses. You put them on, everything is awesome. Now, the question is, does that work? The question is, is that a bunch of BS or is that. Can that actually translate into reality? How many say it can actually translate into reality? Why wouldn't it translate into reality? Because you have a choice. You're gonna look at things a certain way anyways. Yes or no? You don't have a choice about that. You're gonna look at it a certain way. The only question is, can you remember to look at them in an awesome way? Can you look at the good in it? That's all you have to, you know, can you do that? And the awesome glasses help us do that. So everybody, right now, I want you to take your glasses, hold them right here, look at them, and notice that they say awesome right on the glasses. Right, right on it, all over them. Everything's awesome about these glasses. Now, here's what I want you to do. I want you to take these glasses and I want you to put them on, and I want you to see the world. I want you to look at your friends and say, you're what? You're awesome. Everything you look at through these glasses is what? Awesome. Awesome. They're there to help you. To help remind you. Yes. Now, again, we can make up a story that says, yeah, that's a bunch of crap. Or we can make up a story that says, no, I choose to look at it life this way. And the question is, which is true and which is false? And the answer is neither are true or false. The answer is that the way you look at it is the way it is. Yes or yes. Nothing has meaning except for the meaning. We what? So we choose to give it the meaning of awesome. We choose to give ourselves the meaning of awesome. We choose to make the program what? Awesome. The program is going to be what? Awesome. It has to be awesome. If you decide it's awesome, it's awesome. Now the question is whether it is or it isn't. Will you have a better time if it is? Will you feel better about you if you are? Will you feel better about the people beside you if you look at them as they are? Will you feel better about life if you look at it as awesome? Is there a good chance that because, because you are choosing to look at, make up that story and choose it as awesome, that more awesome things will be attracted to you because of that more than if you look at everything in the darkness and terrible and what's going to happen then? What's going to be attracted to you? The same. I don't see anything that could be bad about this, but I can only see things that can be good about it. Whereas the opposite route, if you're not sure if this is working, then you have to put on your life is shit glasses. And you get to wear that all the time. Now you choose because you have the ability to choose. God give the right to choose which glasses you're going to wear because you have to wear one of them. Which is the smarter move here? Awesome. Are you with me? How you doing? How are your friends? Awesome. How's the cars? Awesome. How's life? Awesome. How's your health? Awesome. Give somebody a high five and say you're awesome. It.
