Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.
29
So a lot of times people believe in certain things, but they keep to themselves that you don't put it out there.

51
Manifesting is real.
52
When you figure out who you are and what you want to do, and you devote your life to it like a maniac, like you're all in on this thing,
53
and you manifest, most of these people end up doing what they say they're going to do
54
and being who they say they're going to become.
55
It's real.
56
And there's no excuses.
57

62
and they're hardcore and they're focused
63
and they know what they want They know who they are
64
and they lay out these short-term goals
65
and this roadmap on how to get there Most of those
66
people make it you know true just two two years in the gym two two wins, true losses, true life.
67
I just realized that if you say it to yourself
68
and you look yourself in the eye and look yourself in the mirror
69
and truly truly believe that not a man alive can beat you
70
and that that is the way it is and just true, true hours in the gym and preparation I feel that I am untouchable right now.
71
I think that there's a certain delusional quality that all successful people have to have.
72
You have to believe that something different than in what has happened for the last 50 million years of history,
73
you have to believe that something different can happen.
74
Confucius said, he who says he can and he who says he can't are both usually right.

84
Just repeating.
85
I can do it.
86
I can do it over and over again.
87
Boost your self-confidence and boost your self-esteem.
88
We did not come this far to just break down and lose now.
89
Everything's not always about winning and losing.
90
I'm a winner.
91
I'm going to win.
92
There's people like us who are crazy in the sense that we believe to be...
93
It's almost delusional sometimes.
94
Yes.
95
Like, what was the one, I've heard this quote from the JRE before, it's like, greatness and madness are next door neighbors and they just borrow each other's sugar once in a while.
96
I literally, it was madness, it was me preparing for having a sports car, paddle shifts.
97
So I shifted, you know, to three.
98
This is, bro, I can manifest like a mother.
99
Everything comes from the imagination.
100
Everything comes from the imagination.
101
So the power of the mind, people don't understand, we still don't understand.
102
I still don't understand how powerful it is.
103
I'm still learning.
104
I know one thing is I can make things happen.
105
I can go to levels.
106
I just can't tell the world but like there's levels
107
that like I've manifested things that I'm just like I still shock myself like how the f* did I make that happen?
108
And this is not even to do with fighting.
109
This is just to do with my personal life.
110
I'm like I made that happen And this is through this like manifesting subconsciously as well
111
Just years of something just manifesting manifesting and boom it's right there.
112
I'm just like s* I really made that happen.
113
It's scary man.
114
You have to understand, you are a magnet.
115
Whatever you are, that's what you draw to you.
116
If you see it in your mind, you can hold it in your hand.
117
You gotta create dream boards, you gotta put the new car up on your mirror, put the weight you wanna be on the refrigerator.
118
If you can see it in your mind, you can hold it in your hand.
119
That's the law of attraction.
120
And now here's my last question, on the questions to ponder is why not now?
121
Your future hasn't been written yet.
122
No one's had.
123
Your future is whatever you make it.
124
So make it a good one.
125
If a person would sit down and let their body relax, totally relax, and then start to visualize in their mind.
126
See themselves the way they want to see themselves.
127
See how you'd like to live your life.
128
See yourself living it that way.
129
Now understand that that's a picture in your mind and then take that picture and describe it, write it out in the present tense.
130
I am so happy now that I see myself and write it out.
131
Start to read it and read it and read it and read it every day, carry it around and keep reading it.
132
The one point that all the great teachers all down through history have all agreed on, they've been in a complete unanimous agreement on it, we become what we think about.
133
Now it may be fantasy at first, it might even appear to us as being a lie.
134
But if you read it often enough, you'll start to believe it.
135
And when William James said, believe in your belief will create the fact, you will see the person's personality change.
136
Me signing my signature with Champion 2011 on it, can't hurt me.
137
It can't hurt me, it could only help me to believe it even more, you know.
138
So yeah, I mean, it works for me.
139
Everything is possible in your life when you believe.
140
When you believe, everything is possible.
141
Everything is possible.
142
Go.
143
Go.
144
And take it whatever you want to clean.
145
Anything you say with the words I am, your subconscious will then take that as a command.
146
I used to go up to Mulholland Drive every night, sit on the side of the road, look out at the lights, and go, you know, I'm a popular actor.
147
I'm you know every every director wants to work with me
148
and I used to like open my arms
149
and imagine things You know things that I wanted to come in my way
150
and stuff I would stay up there until I actually believed
151
that I had all these things and then I would drive down the mountain feeling like Biggest star in Hollywood.
152
I wrote a check out to myself for ten million dollars
153
for acting services rendered and I put it in my wallet
154
and I carried it for that many years and what happened was
155
Basically a few months ago we did the deal for the mask for 10 million dollars.
156
10 million dollars payment for doing the mask.
157
Right.
158
And so it's very surreal for me.
159
It's strange.
160
We become what we think about most of the time.
161
And that's the strangest secret.
162
This is why thinking is so vital.
163
This is why a goal is so important.
164
Because we will become that.
165
Connor, in February of 2013 we spoke for the first time.
166
You didn't have a car, you didn't have a pot to piss in.
167
All you had were blueberries.
168
Now here you are with the undisputed gold.
169
Enjoy it, my friend.
170
You deserve it, you called it.
171
Yeah, from nothing to something to everything.
172
So that's where I am right now.
173
I've always had visions of better.
174
I've always visualized better.
175
And in times of struggle, I'm driving around, driving down in the banger of a car that I had to push start.
176
I'd be still driving a soft top Bentley around beautiful California in my head and
177
Lo and behold now I am driving a beautiful soft top Bentley around California.
178
I always visualized good things.
179
I always visualize victory, success, abundance.
180
I visualized it all and it's all happening.
181
Act like the person you want to become.
182
That's not fake it till you make it by the way.
183
This is intentional intentionally act like the person you want to become.
184
Because when you intentionally act like the person you want to become, your brain sees you taking those actions,
185
so your brain starts to change the way it relates to you.
186
When your brain sees you high-fiving yourself in the mirror, it starts to go, oh, wait a minute, Stephen loves himself.
187
Stephen's cheering for himself.
188
We don't beat Stephen up.
189
Well, again, nothing changes for me, you know what I mean?
190
I already felt like I had money back then even though
191
I didn't have money I always felt like I was the champ even though I wasn't the champ, you know what I mean?
192
So nothing changes for me.
193
I still feel the same way as I did before.
194
I continue to do what I do day in day out I show up at the gym.
195
I train when I
196
when I leave the gym I take down notes of what happened in training all this
197
and I was I have a court on what we learned
198
what we did I go back to the gym I repeat and then that's it.
199
That's my life.
200
The three most common traits of highly successful people.
201
Do you remember those?
202
So the three most common traits of hyper successful people
203
that they looked at and it was interesting So number one was
204
that they had a superiority complex They thought they were better than other people and that they deserved more
205
The second is that they suffered from massive insecurity and feeling
206
that they would never be enough and third they had impulse control
207
Visualization activates your super conscious capabilities and releases your mental potential
208
The clearer the picture is in your mind the more rapidly your subconscious
209
and super conscious go to work to bring it into your reality.
210
My father always jokes that I could be doing anything.
211
I said, listen, by the time I'm 25 years old, I'm gonna be a self-made millionaire, and he laughed at me.
212
How old are you?
213
I'm 24 now, so, you know.
214
I feel like a millionaire.
215
I feel like a superstar.
216
And that's the way I felt back then when I first started.
217
I kept that vision in my head.
218
I kept that belief.
219
I hit the gym.
220
I trained hard.
221
I believed in my abilities.
222
And now here I am.
223
Let me leave you with some words from Muhammad Ali.
224
Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men
225
who find it easier to live in a world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it.
226
Impossible is not a fact, it's an opinion.
227
Impossible is not a declaration, it's a dare.
228
Like you just decide what it's going to be, who you're going to be, how you're going to do it.
229
Just decide.
230
And then from that point, the universe is going to get out your way.
231
It's like it's water.
232
It wants to move and go around stuff, you know, so for me I want to represent
233
Possibilities I want to represent the idea
234
that you really can make what you want There's only one thing that's impossible
235
and that's to be a man that doesn't give up.
236
You need an alter ego a version of you that's limitless
237
Make your weaknesses their strength make your insecurity their confidence give them a name
238
Give them traits Create an amazing character
239
when you need them let them take over and
240
eventually You won't need to pretend it will just be you
241
This is why people who set goals achieve them the trouble with men is not achieving their goals They do
242
that it's an establishing them.
243
I think it's good to remember that
244
if we just go along with the crowd We won't wind up with much more than the wish
245
that we could do it all over again
246
And as far as we know you can't if we want to amount to anything as individuals We need individual goals, individual thinking, individual actions.
247
And we must never conform to the big group.
248
This is the law of attraction.
249
I mean, you have to, in the struggle, you know, when things are going good and you visualize these good things happening, you visualize more good things happening, that's easy.
250
What's not easy to do is when things are going bad and you're visualizing the good stuff.
251
And that was what I was able to do.
252
I was able to, you know, even though I was having these troubles at home, Even though I had no real, I had no job, no security, you know what I mean, or whatever, I still was able to feel like it was.
253
I'm sitting here on the steering wheel visualizing a brand new car, visualizing good things in times of struggle.
254
And that, when you can do that, I think that really makes that law of attraction work.
255
I think it really attracts to you more, you know what I mean, because that is harder to do when you're in the struggle to visualize these things.
256
You have to believe in yourself.
257
You have to believe that you're here for a purpose, to enrich the world destiny is in your mouth and in your mind.
258
Once you receive that level of confidence, you know what I mean, and it's practiced properly, it will surpass the genius.
259
There's nothing more supreme than confidence.
260
Confidence breeds success and success breeds confidence.
261
Applied properly you're inconquerable.
262
I am in a state of Zen.
263
The closer the fight comes every time I say it over and over, the face becomes blank.
264
There is no face.
265
It's just blank and a fresh body type I am calm cold ruthless
266
and ready to take out the body that's in front of
267
me ever since you came to the UFC the confidence has
268
been sky high you said you were gonna be the champion
269
you said you were gonna take over you've achieved all that
270
and probably more you really have taken over the sport undoubtedly
271
the biggest star in it where does this confidence come from
272
you know confidence grows true true work ethic true true seeing what's happening around you
273
and that's it I put the work in
274
and it's paying off never you think whenever You think you can't the confidence comes from the thing that you built
275
You must build belief.
276
You must build confidence.
277
I can knock that shit out This belief it is built on what you put in to yourself.
278
We're all in a battle with our own brains.
279
It's the most powerful thing in the world.
280
It's your own brain.
281
It can work for you or against you.
282
And when did you start to realize that the visualization could work for you?
283
Because the visualization got you through SEAL training, I think.
284
It did and I was able to visualize the end.
285
So before, so when I was 297 and I was all fat
286
and out of shape and I couldn't run a quarter mile and I was drinking milkshakes and eating boxes of donuts.
287
I visualized, man, how would it feel?
288
So after I watched that show on Discovery Channel, for a brief moment, I was, so there was 22 guys that graduated.
289
I watched this segment on TV about these guys going through Navy SEAL training.
290
And I couldn't even, I wasn't a great swimmer, I was afraid of the water, all this man.
291
And I saw these guys just quitting.
292
But at the very end it says 22 guys, there's command officers up there, and he gives this great speech.
293
I was like, man, I wonder.
294
So I started visualizing me being the 23rd guy in these dress whites, sitting there with these guys, getting that Navy SEAL, you know,
295
graduating this Navy SEAL training.
296
I was like, God.
297
So I put myself there.
298
I was like, man, that's an amazing feeling.
299
I put myself there at 297, not even able to do anything that these great men were doing.
300
I said, man, if I could feel that, that would change my life.
301
I kept going, not because I wanted to.
302
Trust me, all of me wanted to stop.
303
I kept going because I deserved to know what not giving up on myself felt like.
304
Great rule, you become what you think about, but you become what you say to yourself.
305
So what you do is you say to yourself these magic words.
306
You say, I never give up.
307
Say it, say I never give up.
308
I like myself and I never give up.
309
Around 2010, 2011, I went through this huge spiritual thing where I became obsessed with the power of the mind.
310
Meditation, visualization, and just realizing how powerful our minds actually are and our level of self-belief.
311
I just took myself to this different mental level where I took myself from being average, very average-minded to actually believing that I was the sh
312
and believing that I could be the and that I could be the goal and be the greatest and never lose.
313
I took myself to a different place mentally and a lot of it came from
314
mental practice and meditation and visualization and just seeking knowledge from people who are strong believers.
315
I always dreamed as a kid that it was possible to score 80 or 90 or 100.
316
I always just like, I had a dream.
317
You know like sometimes you lay down in bed and visualize things.
318
You just kinda, just think that's at least how I would go to sleep.
319
I would lay down, I would imagine playing for the Lakers, I would imagine what the uniforms look like, I would imagine playing, you know, the smell of the arena and all some stuff.
320
And I would see myself, you know, getting hot.
321
So you just keep dreaming and dreaming and dreaming and before I go to sleep I'm like at 120 points, you know.
322
And so, and so when you grow up, downloading that into your brain over and over and over, and then, you know, that summer,
323
I made a thousand shots a day.
324
A thousand.
325
Before you go to sleep every night, visualize yourself being, doing and having the good which you desire.
326
And when you impress the subconscious just before going to sleep, the subconscious works with that idea that you've given it.
327
Even while you're asleep, the subconscious mind will be correlating you with all of the good which you have visualized.
328
You say you may not realize it, but your mind is working for you, are against you, even while you are asleep.
329
Once you figure out your brain, you become unstoppable to almost anything.
330
Your brain is amazing.
331
Once you feed it the right conversation, the right mental nutrients, the right mental supplements,
332
the right internal dialogue at the right time with the right hit, with the right proof of what you've done in the past.
333
and you send it right to the right circuit, dude, you're a f*ing beast.
334
A beast.
335
I truly believe we are all equal as human beings.
336
If we are obsessed with something and we truly pursue our passion with everything we have, regardless of anything else, if you are obsessed,
337
work hard, put in the time, you will succeed.
338
And that is a philosophy that I carry.
339
I remember during one lunch break, I was in the car park and I was pissing rain down, and I just said to myself,
340
there was some music playing and there wasn't even words to it, it was just a kind of a beat and I got like real, I went somewhere with it and I was like,
341
I'm out of here, I'm gonna just drive out of this building site,
342
head home and pursue this dream of becoming a world champion in mixed martial arts and that's what I did, I drove home.
343
When I got home my mother and father said, how come you're not still at work and I said,
344
I'm never gonna go back to that site another day in my life and then all hell broke loose through hard work,
345
through dedication, they saw what I was pursuing and they supported me and I done it.
346
I did it.
347
Visualizing is my biggest tool of life.
348
That's why I've been able to put myself in cold water, put myself in a hundred mile race
349
and I'm able to go through the race and see how I'm gonna feel at mile 50.
350
Almost to the exact exact feeling.
351
Right, so when it comes up, it's no surprise.
352
No surprise.
353
I've already done this a million times And that's the one thing I've practiced and practiced and practiced and practiced overnight,
354
but also the most important thing is I Practice that feeling of accomplishment.
355
I'm gonna have write everything you want on a piece of paper
356
Everything I don't care use your wildest imagination
357
If you can think it you can achieve write it on a piece of paper read it every morning
358
and every night Come back here one year from today
359
and see how much of that stuff
360
that came true I will attract into my life what I am not what I want So that's the difference.
361
It's like you get what you are rather than what you want.
362
So you want to become.
363
And I had one of the greatest lessons I ever learned and I'm about to share it with you.
364
Set a goal that'll make you stretch that far.
365
And he said, here's why.
366
For what it will make of you to achieve it.
367
And I got one of the greatest classes in one sentence I've ever received in my life.
368
Set a goal that'll make you stretch that far.
369
for what it will make of you to achieve it.
370
What a brand new reason for setting goals.
371
What an all-encompassing challenge to have a better vision of the future.
372
What for?
373
To see what it will make of you to achieve it.
374
And here's why.
375
The greatest value in life is not what you get.
376
The greatest value in life is what you become.
377
The first rule
378
that I always talk about the success is you gotta have a very clear vision of where you want to go.
379
Because if you don't have that, you're just floating around.
380
And so, you know, I was very fortunate that I created that vision.
381
Visualizing became a normal thing.
382
If I can see it, then it must be a reality.
383
And I can make it a reality.
384
So for me, the vision became a reality.
385
So it was only then a matter of following through with the work to get there, work your ass.
386
Because every single time when I had a vision about anything, I had to work my ass.
387
What you have at the moment, Mr. Rohn, you've attracted by the person you've become.
388
What you have at the moment, you've attracted by the person you've become.
389
few little simple principles here once you understand these it starts to explain so much
390
now sometimes it's a little tough to take blaming yourself instead of the marketplace
391
taking responsibility instead of putting it off on someone else those
392
that transition sometimes is a challenging mission
393
and this one was a little tough for me he said
394
mr own you've got pennies in your pocket you've got nothing in the bank the creditors are calling
395
you're behind on your promises.
396
He says, here's how that occurs.
397
You've attracted up until now, you've attracted the things to you because of the person you've become.
398
Now I said, well, how can I change all that?
399
He said, very simple.
400
If you will change, everything will change for you.
401
You don't have to change what's outside.
402
All you've got to change is what's inside.
403
To have more, you simply have to become more.
404
And then he said, don't wish it was easier wish you were better.
405
Don't wish for less problems, wish for more skills.
406
Start working on yourself, making these personal changes.
407
And he said it'll all change for you.
408
You attract what you feel, what you are, what you attract, what's on your mind.
409
It's like the law of physics, I don't know how anybody can disagree with that.
410
Ask any physicist, they'll tell you that's true.
411
You attract, not something you pursue.
412
Success is looking for a good place to stay.
413
So instead of going after it, you work on yourself.
414
Personal development.
415
See, the major question to ask on the job is not what are you getting.
416
The major question to ask on the job is what are you becoming?
417
See, the big question is not what am I getting paid here.
418
The big question is what am I becoming here?
419
You don't attract what you want.
420
You attract what you are.
421
Now think about that.
422
If you want to attract what you want, you've got to see yourself already with it.
423
Start to see yourself mentally.
424
Use your imagination.
425
See yourself already in possession of the good you desire.
426
That will flip your mind onto a specific frequency.
427
And you do think on frequencies.
428
It's on that frequency that good you desire is going to start coming toward you and you will start moving toward it.
429
If you want to attract what you actually want you've got to see yourself now already with it.
430
It's only a period of time until it manifests in physical form.
431
Never stop.
432
No matter how many failures.
433
When you know you're doing what you're meant to do, you have to try.
434
If you're going to try, go all the way.
435
Otherwise, don't even start.
436
If you're going to try, go all the way.
437
This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs, and maybe your mind.
438
Go all the way.
439
It could mean not eating for three or four days.
440
It could mean freezing on a park bench.
441
It can mean jail, it can mean derision, mockery, isolation.
442
Isolation is the gift.
443
All the others are a test of your endurance, or how much you really want to do it.
444
And you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds, and it will be better than anything you can imagine.
445
If you're going to try, go all the way.
446
There's no other feeling like that.
447
You'll be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. Do it. Do it.
448
All the way.
449
All the way.
450
You will ride life straight to perfect laughter.
451
It's the only good fight there is.
452
I'm enjoying the fruit of my hard work.
453
Nobody works harder than me inside the octagon, outside the octagon.
454
I am a workhorse.
455
So I'm gonna enjoy the benefits of this life.
456
I'm gonna get myself a big mansion in Las Vegas in Las Vegas, I'm gonna get the soft hop cars, I'm gonna bring my whole team out, I'm gonna spoil them and give them this life.
457
Big states that size we're eating every single night each, we're eating good, we're living good.
458
It's human nature, some people will sit and take positivity from that, they will look at that and take inspiration and inspire, it will inspire them to go and push for that,
459
others will shell up and critique it and be negative towards it.
460
But one thing is for sure, those people will stay where they are.
461
The people who take inspiration from it will rise up and also one day experience that life.
462
So this is human nature.
463
Some go one way, some go the other way.
464
But I am enjoying my money, my hard-earing money that I have dedicated my life to.
465
Now the latest research in neuroscience says you can change your brain just by thinking.
466
So then as you begin to think about a new possibility
467
and your brain begins to fire in new sequences and new patterns
468
and new combinations and you begin to plan your behaviors
469
and you begin to review in your mind mentally rehearse who you're going to be in your life,
470
the mere action of mental rehearsal begins to install the neurological circuits in your brain.
471
Now your brain is no longer a record of the past.
472
There's a law of attraction in the universe that says
473
that you attract into your life people and circumstances in harmony with your own thinking.
474
So if you start to read really good material, set goals, commit to your own personal development, strive to become good at what you're doing,
475
listen to positive audio programs, associate with positive people like at this seminar,
476
what happens is you set up a force field of energy that is invisible but it attracts into your life people,
477
circumstances, possibilities, opportunities that would not have been there in the absence of your own changed thinking.
478
The person who's living in lack is waiting for their wealth to feel abundant.
479
They're waiting for their success to feel empowered.
480
They're waiting for their healing to feel gratitude.
481
They're waiting for their new relationship to feel love.
482
That's the Newtonian model of reality of cause and effect.
483
Waiting for that event to happen to take away this separation or lack.
484
Nothing wrong with it.
485
It's the way most people create.
486
But what we've discovered is actually something else.
487
The moment you feel gratitude, your healing begins.
488
The moment you feel worthy and abundant, you're generating wealth.
489
The moment you're empowered, you are moving towards your success.
490
The moment you're in love with yourself and you're in love with life, you'll create an equal.
491
And so that's causing in effect, right?
492
When doubt creeps into your mind, Remember that whatsoever a man believeth, that shall he also reap.
493
Remember, faith is not something you get.
494
Faith is something you already have.
495
But you may be using it in reverse gear by believing in the circumstances and things you do not want.
496
The things you fear.
497
Remember also that faith is guidance only it is not a power which will bring you what you want,
498
but a power that can guide you to go after what you want and get it.
499
There are many ways to get the things that we want for ourselves in our lives, but basically it all begins with how we choose to think.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
