As children, our needs weren't met. When you were a child, you had specific needs. You needed to feel safe. You needed to feel loved. You needed to feel significant. You needed to feel that you mattered. And if you didn't get that, you go through life thinking, well, I'm not safe and I don't matter. And I got to find someone to meet my needs. I've got to find a great guy, great girl to say, oh, you're so great, or a great boss to praise me, to become a. A loving parent. And you can find them, but they might not do that forever. Maybe a few months, maybe a year. But when you do it, it's forever. I want you to do one more thing. Think about the unmet needs of the little kid you once were. Think about the words you wanted to hear. And we all want to hear the same words. I'm proud of you. I love you. How lucky I am to parent you. You're great. You're smart, you're interesting, you're great to be around. Whatever you most needed to hear. I promise you, if you say it now, your mind doesn't know where it comes from. It lets it in. If you put chapstick on your lips, your mind doesn't go, hang on a minute. Is that organic? Is that fair trade, or is that cheap stuff from CVS Pharmacy? Just lets it in. It nourishes chapped lips. And words nourish a chapped soul. So whatever you most wanted to hear, I want you to say it now. I'm proud of you. I love you. You're a great kid. You got something to offer the world. You're talented. You matter. You're significant. And now let's say in the first person, I matter. I'm talented. I'm significant. I'm lovable, I'm enough. I have something to offer the world, and I can monetize it. Because I have talent. I have belief, I have ambition. I have drive. And I'm unstoppable. And as you go deeper into an absolutely relaxed state, as you go deeper, drift deeper and sink deeper, you're aware of a phenomenal, powerful, extraordinary transformation taking place in you. Because here is your truth. When you were a little kid, you felt the way you felt. You saw what you saw, you experienced what you experienced. You felt what you felt. You had no choice. But now you have a choice. Because you are not a little kid. You are a beautiful, talented, extraordinary, gifted adult. And as the talented, beautiful, gifted adult that you are, it will never again, ever, for the rest of your long, abundant life. Be relevant or necessary or interesting or even appropriate for you to think the way you thought when you were a child. It will never again be relevant or even interesting for you to believe what you believed then, or to think what you thought then, or to see what you saw then. You put all that behind you. It's like the water of the shower you took this morning. You can't run back to your room and get that water because it's like vapor. It is behind you. And all the beliefs you had as a child are behind you. They are shrinking, they are fading, they are disappearing, they are going, they are gone. They are erased, eradicated, eliminated. They are shattered, smashed, and out of your life. They will always be for the rest of your long, abundant life, something you once believed long, long ago. And they cannot and will not interest you or affect you ever again as you move on from one phenomenal, extraordinary, incredible achievement and accomplishment. You can move on from one accomplishment to another. That is the truth about you. So stay in that truth for just a second. Remember, that little kid is not you, can never be you, is nothing but a memory. Something that you used to feel, that cannot, will not, does not affect you ever again. And knowing that feeling, that believing that you can slowly, calmly, easily just get ready to come back into the room, knowing that you can never go back. You went back and had a look. You went back and investigated like a good detective what went on. Then you interrupted it. And then you recoded into yourself better software. You installed the truth. The truth is not what you felt when you were 5 or 4 or 3 or 10. The truth is you here today, knowing that you are abundant, gifted, talented, significant. You can have everything. You can have anything. You can have it all, all at the same time. Because the past is not you. You is you here today. Gifted, talented, extraordinary, significant. So knowing it, feeling it, believing it, just open up your eyes, just take a deep breath, come back in the room and just give yourself a massive round of applause for doing that. Thank you. Thank you.
