How To Break Free From The Mental Programming Controlling Your Life | Bob Proctor

0:00Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

0:10We're conditioned genetically and environmentally, and that conditioning is controlling most people's lives. That's why brilliant people are broke. Brilliant people are unhappy. Brilliant people never really accomplish very much. They're absolutely brilliant, but their paradigm is controlling them. It's all about intellect. They're smart people. but like you got to consider where we come from a little particle of energy from a little particle of energy from dad comes from a little that's the nucleus of us then that goes on for 280 days attracting more energy until you make your debut on the planet and then you're programmed environmentally by your environment so everything that's going on is going right into your You're a subconscious mind.

1:01So you come out, you're programmed genetically. We don't know how far it goes back, four or five generations possibly. Like when I was a young man, I had red hair. My mother didn't have red hair, my dad didn't have red hair, I got a brother and sister and they don't have red hair. And you'd cry as you think, well. But my mother's father and all his brothers had red hair. So sometimes it jumps a generation. That's why we look like our relatives. It's genetic conditioning. and then there's environmental conditioning. We know almost all welfare recipients are fourth, fifth generation welfare recipients.

1:35So this is passed down generation to generation. Now, unfortunately, we're all exactly the same. We've got exactly the same potential. Our spiritual DNA is perfect, but that perfection never expresses itself properly because of this paradigm is conditioning in our subconscious mind. You see so many brilliant people and they don't make it. I had a good friend of mine, Milt Campbell, he won the gold medal in the decathlon. Wow, I was a decathlete. Were you aware? I was an all-American decathlete. Well, Milt won in Melbourne in 56. Wow, okay. And he won in 52 in Helsinki. Wow. Bob Mathias won his second gold.

2:26He won the gold in 48 and then in 52. Milt told me, if he told me once, he told me a thousand times, every time I was with him. You know, there was a lot of athletes in schools that were better than me, but they quit. Yeah. Well, our paradigms get us to quit things. Why? Because of programming. You're programmed. You have to ask yourself, why don't they do that? I did a lot of work with the Prudential of America. In fact, I got stuck in the insurance companies for a number of years, I was so effective at what I was doing.

3:03And we raised their sales by, one VP said over a billion dollars. And all I was doing, getting them to change their paradigm, I was having them change the way they worked. A paradigm, a culture is a paradigm.

3:21Every country has a culture. Every family has a culture. Every company has a culture. Well, in the insurance industry years ago, they had what they called debit agents. They went around collecting the money. And there would be a little book like the one you're working with who would have a record in there. I remember we had a book on top of our icebox. It was right near our back door. Mr. Spenceley was the insurance man. when I was a little kid, he'd come in, there was a little book, a little box with some money and there was always just pennies. And he would collect the debit, mark the book and he'd be on his way.

4:02And that's how the insurance business operated. They were called debit agents. Well, then as time moved along, people started to sign a little shit of paper or something and they would automatically draw it out of your bank account. Yeah. But the agents didn't change. The agents would just go and sell at night when mom and dad were both there. Because you couldn't sell mom if dad wasn't there. You couldn't sell dad if mom wasn't there. This was a programming. So here we are in the 70s. Agents are still going to their office every morning. And they wouldn't go out and sell anybody. Because you sell at night.

4:42They collected their debit through the day. There was no debit to collect. This had been for years that we're still doing this. And I'd ask them, I'd say, why don't you go to your office? Well, you have to go to the office. And they'd be there, and I'd say, why do you have to go to your office? Because we have to go to the office. They didn't know why they had to go. Then they'd go to lunch, they'd go with another agent. They'd say, did you ever sell another agent any insurance? No. I said, what the hell do you want to have lunch with them for? I got them to do this. I said, you gotta be like this.

5:10You gotta be skin to skin with the person before 9 a.m. and you have to ask every person to buy at least$100 ,000 worth of insurance. They don't even have to sell them. Just ask them to buy. Well, I got them doing that. They were selling more$100 ,000 policies in a week than they previously sold in a year in almost every office. Wow. You see, that's conditioning. That's paradigm. That's the way they were working. They've been doing it for years. Nobody ever thought to change it.
