[Applause] uh it's really good to be here and I
want to First acknowledge these students because this is not easy when you're a
student it's not even easy when you're a professional so can we give these guys a
hand thank you I'm here to talk to you about two things that you would think
just do not together those two things are emotional intelligence and the laws
of attraction uh I was talking to Dr Thomas
the other day when I came for the rehearsal and he said well doc emotional
intelligence isn't that uh being aware and having clarity about your feelings
and the feelings of other people when you're in the midst of a set of
circumstances or a situation with them and I say yeah that is definitely a
definition for that and a very accurate definition for that but the truth about
emotional intelligence goes far beyond having just clarity about
people it's clarity about situations circumstances why are you
there when you stop and think about I'm in this
situation I'm in the midst of something now what is that something and more than
likely that something is a set of circumstances or a a dilemma you may
even encountered that you attracted into your life and that's where the laws of
attraction come to meet emotional intelligence like attracts like these
things that you expect come to you what we believe is that if we say some
affirmations if we take a moment and visualize something do a vision board or
something of that nature that's what's going to happen but not true as a matter
of fact if I say right now do not think of a chimpanzee wearing a red tie and a
blue and white penstripe suit whatever you do do not picture this chimpanzee
wearing this red bow tie and this blue pinstriped suit what do you keep
thinking of the very thing that I told you don't think about because that is
where you are putting your emotion that energy plus motion and the
more emotion you pour into anything the more of that thing you receive in other
words you can say one thing and do another and as we well know many of us
typically say all the right things but do we do them if you don't believe me go
to somebody's house and look at all the dusty workout equipment look at all the
diets that they tried go to a gym and look at the people that signed up that
are no longer coming because what we have done is we've taken the laws of
attraction and misapplied them we don't take Serious the things that we feel we
deserve enough in order for them to manifest into our lives and how do you
stop that real simple monitor what you feel what you
constantly think about that is exactly what you get if you keep
thinking I'm I'm my luck is never I everybody gets it but me I'll never have
that I'll never live in that house you know that's for them whoever them or
those people are when you constantly think
about how much bills are what do you end up with more pink slips more bills when
you constantly think about I don't want to gain any more weight or I don't I
need to lose uh you know lose some of these bad habits that I have I want to
stop smoking I'm not going to smoke what do you do the minute the pressure hits
you go get a cigarette and you smoke again you get frustrated and you eat
again and as you continue to do these things your thoughts and your feelings
equal the manifestations that you get in your
life here's the million dooll solution to
that first monitor what you think about your mind and and you know there's
a lot of uh theories around this concept but I'm going to tell you this
everything that is seen comes from that which was not seen that chair you're
sitting in the clothes you have on right now with somebody's I did one time
somebody figured I don't know a long time ago guys should wear a tie you know
we figured somehow that you know going on horses wasn't enough maybe if I can
build this contraption I could fly like a bird everything that we do started out
in the Unseen and someone call those things that are not as though they are
and brought them into manifestation but here's the catch for you and the
solution you must understand that conscious thinking is not your solution
conscious thinking is typically reacting to some set of
circumstances it's typically paying attention to that which is before you
that subconscious thinking you will associate that with stuff like have you
ever driven home from work and you don't even remember driving home because
something was just on your mind or you automatically get in the car and you
just check for something without even paying attention to what you're doing
your subconscious mind is the part of you that drives the outcomes in your
life as you learn to master being uh sensitive to circumstances paying
particular attention to the nucal things as we call it the little things if you
stop worrying about what happened in the past and feeling guilty or being anxious
about what may or may not happen in the future and operate in right now you will
train your subconscious mind to begin manifesting the things that you truly
desire and a short way of putting this is everything in your life happens for a
reason your responsibility is to look at these things in your life and ask this
question why now why is this person getting on my
last nerve well they're probably getting on your nerves because there's some part
of your character that is being reflected back to you through them that
you need to work on we get frustrated and angered and almost just
discombobulated by that which we do not understand you have to be willing to
take the time in every moment every situation in your
life and examine it for its meaning you have to examine it for its purpose you
have to examine it to see what is this supposed to teach me right now in my
practice something that I constantly tell people that I'm either speaking to
in lectures like this or even in my office is to stop being so reactive and
become proactive don't don't wait to talk truly listen don't just see things
look at them you know when you hear something you're perceiving it at the
expense of all the white noise of the debris that surrounds it when you look
at something you are deliberately ignoring things that otherwise could
distract you it takes effort to be successful but the greatest effort is
mastering how do you use your mind as we evolve
and I'm not getting into some religious stuff so there will be no offering you
don't have to panic but we came from somewhere we received of a greater
source and conceived when our parents decided to confirm that but my belief is
before we get here we made a decision why we were coming and we came to
experience the contrast and the challenge that everyday life presents to
us see your creator which you are a co-participant
in that creation is smarter than you think as a
matter of fact you can figure out exactly what everything means in your
life by asking one question one word why and it's okay you know even in dating
ladies it's good to look at a guy and say well why are you here what is it
that you are supposed to teach me and not thinking he will probably tell you
the truth the same thing is true about the things that you're trying to court
in your day-to-day life in your career ask yourself why am I doing this what is
motivating me to do this why do I feel the way that I feel about what I'm doing
and you know you do not have to wait for an answer you can get an answer if you
shut everything down get in a quiet space and simply meditate and I don't
mean Lotus position going um what I do mean is taking the time to be quiet to
be still to allow your circumstances to speak to you in such a way that it
resonates at the core you remember I said emotion it's kind of like that guer
counter when you you're looking around for a metal object and the further away
you get the further away the church get but the closer you get the closer those
chirps get and the way that you can parallel that to your spirit speaking to
you is the better you feel about it the more you should do it and if it doesn't
make sense to anyone but you all the better accept the facts but never ever
confuse the facts with the truth seek the greater truth you know anything that
anyone has ever done that has required more caused that individual to confront
themselves they confronted their fears they confronted other people they
confronted culture and had to make a decision that you know what you said I
can't the system says I can't but something inside me says what I can and
when you seek the greater truth you get into direct alignment for that very
moment that very reason that purpose that causes your emotional intelligence
and the laws of attraction to become one as they become one you will find this
sense of passion resonating causing and stirring up something inside of you as
that passion is stirred up your purpose then beg just comes forth you know
there's this thing if you ever watch a football game you don't see the guy sit
there and wait on the ball to come and you don't see the quarterback throw it
after the gu's downfield right when snaps the ball and that receiver takes
off that ball is in the air sometimes you have to run on faith you have to run
not seeing the outcome but just knowing that there will be the result that you
desire and as you feel as you believe you will receive because after all that
which you seek ladies and gentlemen that which you desire that
which you long for is equally seeking you have a great
[Applause] day
