1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,800
For the longest time, I thought that the way you see success is to impeccably follow the

2
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,720
principles of Transurfing.

3
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:20,000
And I haven't studied Transurfing in a few months now, but if I remember correctly, my

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,440
interpretation of it at the time was the majority of the progress that you're going to make

5
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,520
towards your goal is all mental.

6
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:36,720
And yes, there are some truths to that in my opinion, but from my standpoint, where

7
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:42,760
I'm at right now, not really having achieved much, I really believe that it's the action

8
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:52,160
that you take in the physical world that is really going to get you towards your goals.

9
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:58,440
And for the longest time, I would just practice the Transurfing principles impeccably, or at

10
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,400
least that's what I thought at the time.

11
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,760
And maybe in the future, when I read the book again, I realized that I've been wrong this

12
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,120
whole time and that I just completely misinterpreted the book.

13
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,640
But the point is that I got caught into the Transurfing trap.

14
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:20,480
I thought that all that I had to do was make sure that my mental was perfectly clear.

15
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:25,960
And in hindsight, maybe that was all I had to do because I realized that if you change

16
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:29,520
your thoughts, then eventually action will come later, which is what happened.

17
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:36,720
I spent a long time concentrating on my thoughts and I spent many months really just focusing

18
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,320
on improving my thoughts.

19
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:42,300
And then eventually I did start taking action.

20
00:01:42,300 --> 00:01:47,320
So maybe that was a required step and maybe I'm getting it wrong this whole time.

21
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:53,200
But I really think that in order to actually see success, you must take action.

22
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,840
And action will be the main thing that will get you towards your goal.

23
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:05,240
And the kind of booster to that, the boost, the thing that will help push you along is

24
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,040
the mental thought control.

25
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:15,200
Because in Napoleon Hill's The Law of Success in 16 Lesson, one of the laws of success was

26
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:21,240
self-control, which self-control, as Napoleon Hill said, is solely a matter of thought control.

27
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:28,040
So yes, it is important to control your thoughts, but I really think that you must take persistent

28
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,600
action in order to actually achieve your goals.

29
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,880
Because in that book, The Law of Success in 16 Lessons, he talked about action, like you

30
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,520
must take action a lot.

31
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,920
It was not just about the mental side of things.

32
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:45,640
There was a lot of action, determination, leadership and initiative.

33
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:51,200
All of these things, physical action, habit of saving is definitely, I don't know if

34
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,840
it's action or mental, but it's definitely something that you can't just think your

35
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:56,980
way through.

36
00:02:56,980 --> 00:03:01,960
You can't just think, oh, actually maybe, I don't even know.

37
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:07,800
But the point is, don't get caught into the trap of thinking that you can just think your

38
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,840
way into to your goal, like I did.

39
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:17,600
Yeah, there may be a period where you're just focusing on your thoughts, which that may

40
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,640
have been really beneficial for me.

41
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:21,640
And I believe it was beneficial for me.

42
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:25,640
And I'm not sure if it would have been better if I took action as well or not.

43
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:27,440
I don't know.

44
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:53,680
But just make sure you, once you reach a certain point, make sure you actually take action.
