This particular video from Bob Proctor—one of many you can find on YouTube—is one of my favorites because it “packs a punch” and gets people to start thinking in a whole new way about what’s possible for them.  If you’re not used to thinking the way Bob suggests, all of it may sound ridiculous at first, but the more you start to absorb the ideas that he and many other very successful people are teaching, the more you’ll get excited about the possibilities. 

I’m glad that in this video (and in another of his that I watched today) Bob acknowledges an important criticism that was aimed at the movie The Secret, in which he played a major role.  Unfortunately, The Secret focused so heavily on the abstract, mental aspects of achieving success that it pretty much left out the equally-important requirement of  taking action in order to actually get what you want.  For that reason, many people who watched The Secret rejected the message because it seemed, on the surface, so unrealistic.  Fortunately, there has been a follow-up DVD made more recently called Beyond the Secret (featuring Bob, along with several other successful people who were not in the original) which really emphasizes the need for taking action (and includes some inspiring examples of “ordinary” people who did it) if we are serious about achieving our goals and dreams.

By the way, if you send an e-mail to Bob’s company or click the links in the video, I have no affiliate connection involved, and therefore I’m not urging you to watch it so I can make money!  My goal instead is to encourage others to think about themselves (and this so-called “terrible” economy) in a different way by being exposed to exceptional teachers like Bob Proctor. I’m currently doing Bob’s “Six Minutes to Success” program (described in an earlier post) in which he uses bite-sized daily lessons and exercises to teach the principles of success that’s he’s been studying and mastering for almost 50 years.  And I have a feeling it’s going to play more than just a minor role as I seek to achieve my goals over the next several months!
