    The choice of words comes from a choice of which slice of reality you are focused on. If it is raining, is it, "What bad weather," or, "what a fresh, clean smell the rain brings?" I call it creating my own reality. You cannot lie (BSing yourself is like administering yourself a placebo), but you can see more than one thing that is true, and focus only on that. This is such an amazing thing!

    I have something congruent to what you call a board of directors. I have a list of people I call my University Professors. University means seeking the unity in all the diversity of life. University Study Theory is my idea of learning all I can from many disciplines. Every morning, the first thing I do when I get to my desk, is pray. I thank God for my University Professors, and ask Him to bless them all with life, and that more abundantly, and I mention them all by name. You just got added to the list this morning. You are with Robert Kiyosaki, Dan Lok, Simon Sinek, Brian Tracy, and many others. I love my professors. Welcome to the club!

    Hi Vanessa, First of all, thanks so much for this both powerful and useful video. I have started to change my mindset thanks to people like you. I realized if you want to get more positive things in your life you have to stop complaining and wait for that good things to happen suddenly without doing anything. We have to take action by keeping powerful and positive feelings. However, I have a question for you. I know you're not an English teacher but I'm a big fan of your work and I'm an English learner. So here's my question. How to apply what you said in my target language? How to choose the right power words? How to feel powerful when you have a lack of vocabulary? You may not answer me but never mind. What I want to retain are your energy and benevolent attitude. Thanks again for that. Have a great day. Take care!

    Jim Rohn was on my list of university professors until I found out he is in heaven already. The 5 people you are around are the people you consider Worth spending a lot of time with. That amounts, linguistically, to giving them a status of Worth-ship. I call this Worship Theory. People misunderstand worship all the time. It is not about stroking God's non-existent ego. Worship is a tool you use to become more like someone. The more time you spend together, the more you start taking on their speech styles and behaviors. This is most clearly seen in teenagers and their odd language quirks. LOL Vanessa, you are most definitely Worth a significant portion of my time. You are a great teacher, and have made my continuing education time far more valuable! Thank You!

    What a great video (as usual)! Creating a positive feedback loop makes a LOT of sense. I'd like to add to that amazing thought process, for any viewers who are interested: Human brains have what's called neuroplasticity. When you think certain thoughts, or even do certain things (ex: learning to ride a bike), the "wiring system" in your brain creates specific neural pathways for those thoughts (or actions). The more you think those same thoughts, or do those same things, the stronger those pathways become, therefore it gets easier and easier for you to do them next time. So, if you are constantly being negative, you're creating strong "negative thinking" pathways which makes it easier for your brain to be negative than positive. On the other hand, if you work on rewiring that negative feedback loop, and start reframing things to be more positive, your brain will break down those negative pathways and will replace them with "positive thinking" pathways instead. In the end, it will be easier for you to be positive than negative.
