The bottom line? BELIEF is a powerful thing- it is the SINGLE most powerful thing that determines what we will experience in our existence! What we believe, we receive! Four simple words that say it all! Well Done!

It’s called being responsible for your behavior and changing your behavior in order for you to meet your goals and be happier

[tavoiaiono]

HE who looks externally, sleeps. HE who look internal, awakes. Carl Jung. - All the answers you seek are inside of you. If you seek happiness externally, you will never find it.

Her speech is really inspiring. However, it's easy to say you need to surround yourself by positive people but in reality it's very hard when your family members are negative. I have my parents who takes care of me but their belief system is external. They don't believe that they have the power to change the situation & always blame on fortune for any bad situation. They impose their beliefs on me & always crash my emotions unintentionally. I can't stay positive or try new things because they think I can't do anything even though I proved that I can do my best & try not to make any mistakes. I'm so disappointed rtn & i want to make them positive but every time I failed. Now I'm gradually becoming like them because everybody surrounding me is very negative.

Well presented and explained.
She took a presumably boring topic and made it sound incredibly interesting.

[masiiharwood]

[hermelaafework]

interesting insight, thank you so much for the wonderful ideas

[johnankrah]

Great and balanced talk. There is a book called "The road less travelled" by Dr Scott Peck. That covers this a little, but is more treatment/recovery based.

We need to find our "flow"! This would move our locus of control both internally & globally. As One we will create the grassroots power of the masses being in control!! Groovism is the belief in the power of our instinct of music. Belief in the power of music wil proliferate us!!!

[feibengirma]

This video was very interesting and powerful.

[davidrutitsky]

This was the exact type of video i was looking 4

[alyxandriaang]

This is so good and interesting! I am definitely more external.

[warrenbradford]

Letting myself be surrounded with external people will just poison me from the inside. I need to move out of my toxic environment first before becoming internal.

[Vladimyrful]

Okay, I mean, how is their treatment different than watching a motivational video? If they're pretty much the same than the locus of control shift is temporary. Secondly, sure she's right, belief and placebo work exactly the way she described, I even have examples from my own life, however i can't MAKE myself believe something OR make placebo work intentionally, that's kind of the point of a placebo is that you don't know that it isn't an actual medication.

Fine speach, I'm just at a loss on how to apply the lessons shared here (except the ones that you should encourage others, that works well).

[JoanneJaworski]

Hmm, I would think a better thing to say to a child is, you figured it out vs you are hard working. Why? Because it could instill that in order to get anything, you have to work hard at it. That is a belief that can work against you vs. I find solutions easily.
