You got to put yourself in that state. I'm going to show you how to put yourself in this mode. Count from 3 to 1 and you're watching it. You're going to go right back into that state. Now you can do it at your own speed. You can walk yourself up at your own speed, only the state towards you. Focus on going to 4. Deep congestion state. Deep congestion. A lot of music you need. You need to use your own frequency. Deep congestion. Imagine now what it's like Come back to that, but right now, just got the number four. The number four does not exist. In a moment, I'm asking you to count, and when you count, you're going to skip right over the number four like it never existed. One, two, three, five. Five is is one. The number four is gone. Every time you try to hear it, it's going to disappear. It's not going to go to count. Don't keep your eyes open. So what is the own topic that you want to be like? What do you want to dance about? Something you want to yell out, or what is it really? Keep it in your head. All right, let's do this. So I'm going to put the hand out in front of you like this. Okay, that's crazy. Looks like this guy's got their number. At least he got your name. Hey, you told me, and I, I, I didn't forget. I didn't— what's your name? Because you remember his name. His name is Taylor. Okay, you know my name? I think I know. My name is David Brown. I'm a detective. Your name is— huh? Damn, okay, you remember. Got your name for me? All right, got the number four back. That's good because you're going to need that, man. You go to school, you can't be walking around without the number four. This is what we're going to do. I'm going to put you right back into it. You stay here and we got to work on whatever it is you need to work on. You tell me what you want to work on. You got to get the muscles up, man. Get all the juice back in your legs. You got to get strong like a pizza. You got to get all the muscles back up. Oh, you can do it. I know you want it. You can lift it all the way up. Now, as you're going deeper and deeper and deeper, man, you gotta think about that thing that you wanna enhance about yourself. And you gotta think about the things that have to happen in order for that to happen. If you need to be more disciplined, you find that happening now. You find your decision-making power, you find all of that enhancing right now. Whatever it is, I want you to see yourself doing. Step 1 to doing anything in life is seeing it in your mind. When I shut your eyes together, I had you imagine yourself. Because you imagine something in yourself, it would show. So I want you to imagine yourself doing whatever it is you've got in your mind. I want you to see yourself doing it. I want you to see yourself doing it. When you open your eyes, you gotta have a burning desire to take all the necessary steps to make that thing happen. You need to be invested. You gotta be invested in understanding. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna teach you how to put yourself into this state. You can practice it in your imagination every day. What you're gonna find is you naturally lean towards doing that success. You never keep your eyes open. So count from 3 to 1, tell yourself to sleep, and watch your body go. You're gonna go right back to your bed and do your nap. All the way down. Right there. When you're ready to wake up, all you gotta do is say, How much you can drive away from the goal before you make it? How much you can see yourself doing that thing? The better you can see yourself doing it, the easier it's going to be. Now imagine yourself doing it. You can feel a bunch of energy if you imagine it. People don't know this, but the most productive people imagine themselves being great. They're not just still working to be great. Now imagine that shit happening. Then when you're done or you start, you have to move out of there. You have to move out of there. You got to come out of this defensive state. So right now you're in a heightened defensive state. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to take you out of that state because right now something If somebody tell you something crazy like, you know, you can't remember your name, you're gonna speak your first name.

And I'll tell you something, confidence is what's gonna keep you confident in the world. I don't care what you have on as far as clothes go, if you put on confidence with it, it's gonna look amazing to other people around the life. Being confident goes through anything in life.
