The main part of the course this week is a seminar that Jerry Clark did here in Australia. One of the things I like the most about some of the seminars and other audios I’ve been listening to is that they are really thought provoking. I know some people have trouble dealing with the whole ‘you’ve been programmed’ scenario. I can understand that, firstly because I used to be one of those people and secondly because it sounds a bit like a conspiracy theory.

Like a lot of things, it can be explained in several ways. Perhaps rather than saying you’ve been programmed, it would make sense to say that we live by a belief system. As we grow up we’re basically told what is right and what is wrong… what is good and what is bad. Some of us are encouraged to really get the most out of our lives and most of us are not.

That’s the key point right there. If you are like me, there was probably plenty of encouragement to succeed, but nobody every told you that you could be wealthy or incredibly successful. Nobody told you that it was easy to live an extraordinary life if you just applied some basic principles and disciplines.

That’s something I’ve learned in the past couple of months and I don’t hope any more. I KNOW what I can do and I KNOW what I can have and I KNOW what I can become.
