In this segment, Rob Dial examines how most people use the phrase "I am" in self‑defeating ways—pairing it with negative descriptors like "not smart enough" or "not pretty enough." He argues that changing the identity statement to reflect what one truly wants, and truly believing it, is essential for personal growth. Dial shares his own experience of moving from a shy, introverted salesperson to a more confident individual by repeatedly tackling challenging tasks. This confidence, he says, enables people to speak reality into existence. Ultimately, he ties the power of positive "I am" statements to manifestation, emphasizing that true manifestation requires aligning the brain and body with the desired identity and life path, which then naturally attracts desired outcomes.

How often do people say I am? And then the next thing that follows it is not powerful. Right. Where it's like, oh, I am. I am smart enough, I'm not smart enough, not good enough, not pretty lovable. And that's the majority of people are always saying I am. And it usually follows what they don't want. Yes. And so I think with, with changing the identity is I am, and switch it to the thing that you want. And there might be like a BS meter of like, but am I? And you've got to start to actually physically believe it in yourself. I was not confident before I started in sales years ago. I was very shy. I'm still really an introvert. But as you start doing these hard things, you start overcoming things, doing things you didn't want to do, you start becoming more confident in yourself. And as you become more confident in yourself, you can start to speak into reality of things that you want more of. And I think that's the important part of manifestation is people can say, oh, there's all of these different things that you can do to manifest. But I really think it comes down to, like, can you get your brain and your body on board to say, this is what I'm going to be doing? And if it's on alignment into the life path you're supposed to be on and what feels right inside of you, I think that's where people just naturally start attracting things.
