“A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.

The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, “Did you not hear us?” The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.”

This story teaches two lessons:

1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day.

2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them.

Be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path. The power of words… it is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times. Special is the individual who will take the time to encourage another.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things…

They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius -

Because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

Well soon after for me followed his ‘Science of Getting Rich‘ DVD set which is based upon the book of the same name by Wallace D. Wattles. I found it not only highly entertaining, but also really educational and it shared some ideas I had not heard in quite the same way.

Here’s an outtake from the seminar – Google video link

Soon after I understood that some information may had been ‘withheld’ in seminars and lectures I had previously seen or heard. Not because the information was wrong or bad – but I think in part because to many people ‘the FULL creative process of co-creating your reality’ may be too hard to comprehend and maybe moreso accept if you – as I – have been raised in a rational/scientific belief structure. To many people the full creative enchilada is nonsens and they would never start looking for more, searching for meaning or expanding their lifes if they were told it all from the beginning…

I myself didn’t fully comprehend and therefore I sought more information from mr. Proctor through his “You Were Born Rich” program. This program is based in its entirety on Napoleon Hills classic “Think & Grow Rich“. This program contained more information than I could handle in one go – I am actually still watching this program regularly because the ‘informationstream’ is so dense and so full of knowledge that it impossible not to miss some everytime I go through it. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to dig up neither sound nor video from this – but I assure you that that program delivers much more than it promises. If you can spare the money just ‘Go and buy it’ – It’s that good! If you can’t – you can probably earn many times the money invested IF you can convert your new knowledge into action (isn’t that just always the tricky part…)

From Proctor the road for me went more or less directly to ‘Abraham’ and Jerry and Esther Hicks, but that’s another post…

See, I am of course aware that people in ‘higher altitudes‘ are seeing some of what ‘Bob and The Secret Gang’ is teaching as bad as it may easily be interpreted as pure egocentric. Nevertheless – as I have immersed and plummeted myself deep into these subjects, I would most definately say there much more to it than first meets the eye (and the ego…). I actually see this as a way for potential growth in many more directions, than discussions  on messageboards usually sums up. I will try and clarify in another post when I get the time!

For now I will leave you with one more video clip of the dear mr. Proctor which is taken from one of his ‘Secret to Wealth” seminars.

And for those of you who wants more compressed information about Bob Proctor without leaving the site, I have done a nice copy/paste job underneath here -

“At seventy years of age, Bob Proctor is widely considered one of the world’s greatest authorities on attracting wealth! He is an internationally sought-after speaker, who recently starred in the movie The Secret, all about The Law of Attraction. His teachings come from Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich, and other sources. His delivery is high energy, entertaining, impactful, and thought-provoking.

This bestselling Seminar on DVD will help you to expand your possibilities, think outside the box, become a money magnet, overcome negative money beliefs, and much more. After experiencing this program, you’ll have an even bigger dream, and new level of belief in making it a reality.

For 40 years, Bob Proctor has focused his entire agenda around helping people create lush lives of prosperity, rewarding relationships and spiritual awareness. Bob Proctor knows how to help you because he comes from a life of want and limitation himself. Starting out as a high school dropout and later becoming a self-made millionaire, Bob knows, from personal experience, how to help you reach your most important goals. He now travels the globe, teaching thousands of people how to believe in and act upon the greatness of their own minds.”

The picture shows the ‘Six Human Needs’ in ‘Human Needs Psychology’.

It’s nearly impossible to even begin to describe in words, how much seeing the world through this model/map has added clarity in my life.

The model is, as far as I know, invented by Anthony Robbins and is probably in someway or another influenced by Abraham Maslows ‘Hierachy of Human Needs’ and extended from there through other sources and insights.

A couple of years back I started listening to Jim Rohn and was drawn to his charismatic and strongly influential personae and his way of looking at and manuevering in the world – at the time, I really needed to be inspired and mr. Rohn delivered much of what I was after. But as good as he was at that, he didn’t really answer all the ‘whys’ I had.

After listening to Rohn for a couple of weeks I stumbled upon a guy named Anthony Robbins, and at first I didn’t think much of him – his website seemed outdated at first (has been updated since) the colorpalette was way off and it was covered with quotes and endorsements from highly succesful people from all areas of life – little did I know at the time… Luckily what caught my eye was a quote from Quincy Jones, another guy I respect immensely for different reasons, and from there things grew on me, because “if Quincy sees something in this guy, there’s obviously something I ‘m not paying attention to”.

So as always I let my guards down and started to listen to the first audioprogram and I was blown away by the intensity, authenticity and congruency in his voice – somebody finally ‘spoke my own language’ and thought it was ok to do so – from that point I immersed myself in everything Anthony Robbins and after finishing the two first audioprograms ‘Get the Edge‘ and ‘Personal Power II – The Driving Force‘ I recognised how conditioned all of my behavior and responses in my life really were.

Especially my ‘needs’ structure and how I fulfilled them in my life, was totally unclear to me before – after listening to these two programs I had a crystal clear idea of what was going on in my life and why!

I once met Robbins face to face (or more like face to ear – him shouting ‘make your powermove’ into my ear) at one of the ‘Unleash the power Within’ seminars I have attended in London (he was guiding my line over the burning hot coals during the Firewalk experience…) but didn’t get the chance to thank him, because of the intensity of the situation. However if I ever meet him again (and I will), I will make sure to pay my gratitude for this model – it has singlehandedly changed the outlook and the outcome of my life!

Therefore – if you are going through personal problems or have some challenges who seem to control you instead of the other way around, I can’t stress enough how much clarity these programs – if taken seriously – can give you! After going through those two programs I bought everything else the guy had made, and dived into them as passionately I had ever done anything in my life – and to this day I still pick up on some of those on a weekly basis.

The real reason for this post though, is to direct some attention to the film he has recently made with psychotherapist Cloé Madanes.

In my opinion they contain the very best material he has ever made – The ‘Inner Strenght Series’ and the “Ultimate Relationship” – There are nine movies in total to this day. Hopefully we will see more in the near future, and I recommend every single one of them for your viewing pleasure.

All of them features an uncut intervention with Tony and one participant – or a couple – at one of his extended seminars. The results these people are getting and the realisations they are having are no less than amazing – and that is not only when you look at the timeframe for the intervention.

This is a master at work – you will see that this man is the real deal, in every facet and every aspect – Watch them and see for yourself – these films WILL change your destiny! (however corny that may sound to you…)

Trailers are available here!
