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!

I love that she's such a positive person that on her negative power loop when she says even more sadness she writes a happy face when she should have done a sad one....she's so happy it feels wrong to do a sadface ❤💛

The power/confidence loop is ruined by the rise of pride, but is fostered by the rise of gratitude. :o) (I love your power/confidence loop. It's a great structure!)

I spent my time in social media watching Abraham Hicks, Louise Hay, Vanessa, Sadhguru...i love you

I love your contents the best, Vanessa. Thank you! I’m better because of you. God bless you and the work of your hands. 😊

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!

This is a master class! Thanks a lot Vanessa!

Immediate subscribe. What a clear and simple break down. Tone, delivery, illustrations, exercises. Just an amazing job you’ve done here.

This video is very important. I believe it should be shown in high schools across the globe. Your lesson is well rounded, concise, your points are on point. I believe you are talking to 85% of the population who really and I underscore, REALLY (ok that was more of a caps lock, you get the point, back to the point) REALLY need this lesson to help to even exist in this crazy, post covid, whacked out time we are living in. Bless you and your help for the people of the planet.

You're an average of the five people you spend the most time with - time over email, text, social media or a phone call. Now this is something to take home.

[meetyounever]

Wow, I never realized how much my daily habits take away my inner power. I have so much to work on. Thank you!

[Underdog_Basketball]

I can't believe how awesome and useful and empowering this video is. I'd want Vanessa and The Science of People team in my top 5

One of the most important things in this are is...
Having knowledge...in your given subject...(above what everyone else knows)
Those things you mentioned are the exterior principles of power....the interior is having knowledge and knowing when and how to apply it....

When interior and exterior power principles..are a part of you....you have integrity of character....

[brandonhunt]

Your energy is so, so refreshing. I just had a meeting with my NPD mother and came home to watch your video to cleanse my energy palate. You are a nice human.

"creates more sadness" and draws a happy smiley 😁 this formula should exist in real life

[ms.lavernrobinson]

I am here because I want to create more space in myself. The ability to really know when to say YES and avoid the dreadful situations. As a teacher, it's very hard, yet I keep on trying.

Vanessa, this scenario just happened to me this past week. I’ve been in this loop for a while and I’m so excited to regroup and try it again.
