When Disney World first opened, Ms. Disney was asked to speak at the grand opening since Walt had passed away several months earlier. She was introduced by a gentleman who said, “I just wish Walt could have seen this.” Ms. Disney stood up, walked over to the podium, and said, “He did.” br br Today I want to talk to you about: What you see, is what you get. Rhonda Burn wrote in her highly influential book The Secret, that later became a blockbuster movie: “The Universe must deliver the picture you have in your mind about who you are, and what you deserve to have – no matter how impossible the situation might seem.” br br One of the lessons I’ve learned is that wealth has very little to do with money. However, it has everything to do with our ability to produce, and perhaps more importantly, our ability to see ourselves as wealthy. br br This is the reason why economics have said for years now, “If you took all the money in the world and divided it equally amongst everyone, in a relatively short amount of time, the exact same people would end up with it again.” br br Statistics show 1-percent of the population earns 96-percent of all the money annually. And I’m convinced this isn’t an accident. It’s designed that way. I’m also convinced it’s not necessarily about what the rich know, as much as it’s about what they see. Wealthy people don’t see themselves as broke, as going without. They see themselves as wealthy. They see themselves making the right business decisions. They see themselves as dominate individuals, and therefore, they become, and remain dominant. br You may have known someone who’s acquired massive wealth, lost it, and within a short period, got it all back. What played a significant role in these people bouncing back so quickly - is the simple fact that they just can’t picture themselves as poor. This is congruent with Rhonda Burn’s statement, about the Universe delivering the picture you have in your mind, no matter how impossible the situation might seem. br br Every single one of us has a picture in our mind about who we are, and who we should be. We all see ourselves a certain way. That’s why it’s said: If your vision is limited, your life will be as well. br br I believe a lot of people would soar to new heights, they'd see they're dreams come to pass – if they’d just start seeing themselves differently. But unfortunately, many don’t. And therefore, they act as their own judge and jury, and sentence themselves to a life of mediocrity – simply because of the pictures they have in their mind. br br Typically, I’m a huge proponent that each of us are 100-percent responsible for our decisions, and the consequences that follow. But there might be an exception here. Because for some people, all they saw growing up was negativity and people who chose not to pursue their dreams. And now, in their adult life, they think this type of behavior is normal, even though it’s not.
