I’m going to explain an idea that every child should learn before they go to school. Yet most people go through their lives never really understand it.

I’m going to explain an idea that will help you learn and understand and apply every single piece of information, knowledge and insight that you’ll get from all the fantastic speakers that you’ve been listening to, for the rest of today or any other day — an idea that would take what you learn to a whole new level.

I’m going to explain an idea that is so transformative, yet so simple, that has the power to completely transform your life.

By a show of hands, how many of you know someone in your life that is in great shape, that’s very fit, yet doesn’t even try to stay in shape at all? Put up your hand if you know those people.  Yeah, don’t you just hate those people?

And how many of you know someone in your life that — maybe a couple that’s been together 2, 3, 5, 10 years, 20 years but they still have that spark; they still have that connection and they’re still very much in love. Put up your hand if you know a couple like that. Yes?

And on the other hand, how many of you know couples that have been together, maybe just a couple of years and yet they want to strangle each other. Put up your hand if you know someone like that.

Nice, I see a couple ladies elbowing their spouse, that’s very nice, that’s very nice.

And this isn’t even my idea and it’s not a new idea but it’s something that I become aware of. Dr. Maxwell Maltz, around 1960, said he was the greatest psychological discovery of his generation, and that’s the concept of self-image.

You see, you and I, we have an image of ourselves. It’s how we see ourselves. When you look in the mirror, there’s a reflection coming back from the mirror, that’s the reflection of your physical being. But that’s not how you see you.

Instead, you see you in your mind. You see you in your mind.

If you’re wondering, well, then what kind of self-image do you have? It’s very simple. All you have to do is look at the very aspects of your life.

Take a look at the results you’re getting. Possibly your relationships, your body, your income, the position you hold at work, the business you operate in, your personal appearance — all these things are the results of the outer expressions of your inner self image.

Now so why great ideas alone are not enough — why great ideas alone are not enough to change our lives?

You see, one of the great mistakes that most people make is they are attempting to change their body; they are attempting to change the relationship; they are attempting to change the income, their finance.
