Change Your Mind by Changing Your Perception

Bob Procter didn't believe it at first either. But he listened & started to learn. From a broke fireman to the man he is today. 

He has a great story to share! 

On October 21, 1961, a man by the name of Raymond Stanford sat down with me. He put an ‘R’ on a sheet of paper with two ‘H’’s and a ‘W’ beside it.

Ray said, “Bob, let this ‘R’ represents results. The two ‘H’’s represent happiness and health. The ‘W’ represents wealth. Do you think I’m a happy person?”

I said, “Yes, I think so.”

Ray asked, “Have you ever seen me sick?”

I had to admit that I hadn’t.

Then, Ray asked, “Have you ever seen me without any money?”

“No, I haven’t.”

Then, Ray proceeded to tell me that he thought I was one of the most miserable people he had ever met.

He said, “You’re never healthy, you always have a backache, or a cold or something. And you’re always broke. Why don’t you change this?”

I didn’t really believe I could. I was making $4,000 a year and I owed $6,000.

Ray said, “You can have anything you want. But you’re going to have to change the way you’re looking at your life.”

“What do you mean?”

Ray responded, “You’re looking at the fact that you never went to school, and you don’t have any business experience. You’re putting yourself down, and figuring out all the reasons you can’t change.

“Your problem isn’t a lack of education. Your problem isn’t a lack of experience or money. You’ve got a perception problem. You’re looking at yourself the wrong way. If you would change your point of view of YOU, your whole world would begin to change.”

Today, the company that I own does millions of dollars in business. It operates in 47 different countries, and it’s growing every day. And here I am 55 years later with a healthy body and very cheery disposition.

All I really did was change my point of view.

I want you to think about this story for a few moments, and relate it to your own life.

If you’re not as happy, healthy and wealthy as you’d like to be, I urge you to step back and look at your situation from a different perspective.

But don’t just look at it in a general or superficial way; go further than you ever have before. Look beyond the reasons you’ve come up with for why you can’t change or get what you want until you “see” a way to improve your current circumstances.

Do it now, and prepare to rewrite your story.

To your success,

P.S. If you like the idea of rewriting your story, be sure to read next Monday’s post. Changing your story—or creating a life script—is a smart thing to do no matter how good your life currently is.

So, next week I’ll explain how to write a script that will allow you do more than view your life from a new perspective—it will enable you to LIVE your life from that perspective. Creating life scripts, when executed properly, will make a tremendous difference in your life.

Get a BIG Idea and Get Motivated! with Bob Proctor

I don’t think of myself as a motivational speaker because…

Motivating others to achieve their dreams is unsustainable.

It’s easy to get people excited when they attend an event, watch a video, or read a book. But that kind of enthusiasm doesn’t last long enough to create real change.

To me, real motivation involves a commitment to doing the ongoing work that will be necessary to manifest the goal. A person must have a fire that’s fuelled from the inside, not from me or any external source, to generate that kind of commitment.

The truth is each one of us has so much power and ability that we shouldn’t need anyone or anything outside of ourselves to motivate us.

Right this very moment, you have all the tools within you that are needed to access your infinite potential, to evolve your dreams into reality, and to live a life of extraordinary design. All that’s required to light a fire inside you is a marvellous idea lodged in your mind.

Self-motivation is a cornerstone of true wealth. But to achieve it, you must…

Stop doing this

Sometimes our dreams are so big that we think they must be impossible. So, we may doubt our ability to make them come true. Or we think we’re foolish for even harbouring such hopes.

Stop doing that.

Because here’s the truth about you…

As humans, we have the remarkable ability to transform all we imagine into reality. If a deep desire lives in your heart, a path exists to bring it to life.

NOTHING is too extraordinary for you to achieve. If you can dream it, you can be or do it.

From nowhere to now here

I’ve been at this for a very long time, and there are many ways I can help you.

I can teach you how your mind functions.

I can help you improve the quality of your life.

And I can show you how to take any idea that’s in your heart from “nowhere” to “now here.”

But I can’t help you be excited to get going each morning. You’ve got to do that on your own.

How?

You’ve got to become personally involved with your dream and make it a priority. As long as it’s the right dream, you’ll be passionate about doing “your work” each day. You’ll know it’s the right goal if it gives you chills when you think about it.

Listen, I’m pushing 83 years old, and with all my accomplishments, I still can’t wait to get up and get going on my current goal each day.

It doesn’t matter where you are; you are nowhere compared to where you can go. As long as you’re alive, you are capable of being or doing anything you can visualize. It’s never, ever, ever too late to begin something great.

To your success,

Bob Proctor
