I have a confession. Believe it or not, sometimes I feel like I'm not growing. I'm doing the same things over and over again. I mean, things are good, but good can still feel like a rut. The other day I heard Martha Stewart say, her favorite place to go is where she hasn't been, which is how she's built a billion dollar business over five decades, beginning in a world that doesn't exist anymore. No internet, no social media. She didn't survive all that. She went out and she learned it. Martha doesn't do ruts. She's constantly challenging herself, doing things she hasn't done before. That's how you stay relevant for 50 years. Now, how do I know this? I watched her two-part class on Masterclass. And it was excellent. One of the most inspiring things I've watched in a long time. And there are 200 plus more classes, including FBI Negotiator, Chris Voss, on negotiating your next race. Cal Newport on reclaiming your focus
and Carol Dweck on developing a growth mindset. $10 a month, build annually. Right now, as a listener of this show, you get at least 15% off any annual membership at masterclass.com slash quote.

Rules your life. 96 to 97% of everything that you do is done as a result of your subconscious mind. Welcome back to the quote of the day. This show I am your host, Sean Croxton of Sean Croxton.com.
I got a Dr. Wayne W. Dyer back on the show today. Our feature QOD is this, your subconscious mind. Rules your life. Yesterday, Shad Helmstetter talked about our programming. Now the programming that we got, of course, goes into our subconscious mind. And what we want to do is we want to update it. One way to update it is by re-examining yourself talk, being mindful of it. And when things come up, changing it. Another way to do it is what Dr. Dyer is going to talk about today, which is updating your subconscious programming by using your imagination to decide what you want. And doing like Neville has taught us, which is assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Be there now. Feel like it's already done. Because the emotions, remember, what changes your subconscious mind is repetition and emotion. So if you can feel like you already have the thing that you want and you think about it as if it's already done, you can reshape and reprogram your subconscious mind
to lead you to whatever it is that you want. Dr. Wayne W. Dyer's coming up. The third wishes fulfilled foundation is called, assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled. So here's where we are. We have used our imagination. We have placed something into our imagination as an I am, which is the name of God. I am strong. I am healthy. I am kind. I am prosperous. I am getting the job that I'm applying for. I am whatever it might be. I am. And then you have practiced calling it as if... That which does not exist as though it did. And then you move now from the world of the intellect because understanding something intellectually is very different than understanding something spiritually. To understand something spiritually, you must experience it.
And in order to experience it, you have to experience it in your imagination as an I am. But you must be able to feel it. Our feelings are the things that take place in our body. It says, Neville says, and I have this, next to my bed, where I live in my out, make your future dream a present fact by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled. So whatever it is that you would like to experience in your life, this, remember, your imagination is yours. Everything that now exists was once imagined. Therefore, everything that is going to exist must first be imagined. Okay? Henry David Throhead probably the greatest definition of success that I have ever heard. He said, if you advance confidently in the direction of your own dreams
and endeavor to live the life which you have imagined, you will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. It will chase after you if you can place into your imagination what it is that you would like to attract and begin to feel it. Listen to Neville. This is one of my most favorite quotes from the power of awareness. That which you feel yourself to be you are. And you are given that which you are. So assume the feeling that would be yours were you already in possession of your wish and your wish must be realized. So live in the feeling of being the one you want to be and that you shall be. Every feeling makes a subconscious impression. And unless it is counteracted by a more powerful feeling
of an opposite nature, it must be expressed. Your feelings are different from your thoughts. Your feelings are what you experience in your body. The dominant of two feelings is the one expressed. I am healthy is a stronger feeling than I will be healthy. I am healthy says I feel healthy and I feel healthy. I feel great. I don't determine if I am well on the basis of what it says on a piece of paper or on the basis of what somebody else out there tells me. I live my life feeling within my body that I am strong, I am capable, I am able. And that is not just something that I say. It's not just an affirmation. An affirmation is an intellectual exercise. This is a spiritual knowing within that I am well.
I am content, I am prosperous. But the words that level use there are the subconscious. Every feeling that you have makes a subconscious impression upon your body and upon your awareness. You need to understand the subconscious mind of yours. Your subconscious mind rules your life. 96 to 97% of everything that you do is done as a result of your subconscious mind. And when your subconscious mind gets programmed, it goes ahead and responds to whatever it is your conscious mind has placed into it. I was 18 years old. I was in the United States Navy for four years. And they sent me to a school in Bainbridge, Maryland to become a radio man and a cryptographer.
And we spent an hour a day, every day, for the first three or four weeks we were there on a typewriter learning Morris code. Okay? And my conscious mind had to program my subconscious mind. Now this subconscious mind of yours is operating all the time. You're sitting here watching a television show. You got up, you picked up your remote control, you turned the channel on, you got dressed, you ate lunch, you went to the bathroom, you go to work, you get into your car, you drive to work, you don't think about what I'm gonna do. Everything that is going on in your life, everything everybody in here in this room, you got here through your subconscious mind. You didn't have to think about every single thing that you were doing, but there was a time when you did in order to learn that. This habitual subconscious mind of yours rules your life. So I'm 18 years old, I'm taking Morris code. Did, did, ah, here's the alphabet, a little bit of it anyway. Did, ah, did, did, did, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da,
did, did, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, that's A through P. Check it out. That's 53 years ago. And my subconscious mind is still keeping track of the da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, did, da, you're doing the same thing. Only you don't use Morris code, but you've programmed your subconscious mind with, did, did, da, da, da, da, da, da, I can't do that, did, da, da, da, da, da, I'm not very attractive, did, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, I can't do make things happen. And it's did it, da, da, da, da, da, da, still there, 53 years later, and you go through your life with the subconscious programming with an awareness that you are not in charge, you're not able to extend or transcend this way of thinking.
The subconscious mind of yours is most impacted by your feelings. A change of feeling is a change of destiny. A change of feeling is a change of destiny. Write it down. Stick it on the wall next to your bed, if you came in from where I sleep, you would see that. I look at that all the time. I want to practice putting into my subconscious mind the assumption of the feeling of what it is that I would like to attract into my life as if it already existed and to feel it, not just to think it, but to feel it. Neville's Law of Assumption says this, if this assumption about what you would like to become is persisted in until it becomes your dominant feeling, the attainment of your ideal is absolutely inevitable. You must first assume the feeling
of a wish fulfilled in all aspects of your life. So you have to say to yourself, what does it feel like to be prosperous? What does it feel like to be content? What does it feel like to be well? And I had to remind myself of that when I had this leukemia diagnosis. I had to remind myself, I was down about 30 minutes until I realized that virtually everything that shows up in my life has been a blessing, virtually everything. That all of the struggles, whether it's in addictions or whether it's in living in foster homes and being abandoned, whether it's my wife and I separating and the pain of that, whatever it might be, my dear friend of mine was Elizabeth Kubla Ross. She passed away a few years back and she was the one who wrote so much about death and dying. She had a wonderful and important message for us.
She said, if you shield the mountain from the wind storms, you'll never see the beauty of the carvings. The beauty of the carvings comes from being able to be in a state of gratitude for the storms that show up in our life just as much as the things that we would like to have show up in our life. You have to start retraining your subconscious mind and your subconscious mind responds to what it is that you suggest to it. Now, the intriguing thing about your subconscious mind, your habitual mind, is that it can't make a distinction between what it is that you are feeling as a result of what you have placed into your imagination and assume the feeling of it and what you are experiencing every day in your life. If you go around feeling unhappy, depressed, miserable, sad, whatever, your subconscious mind says,
oh, so this is what it is that you would like to attract into your life. And the universal subconscious mind, to which we were all connected that we called the creative source of the universe, the divine mind, the Tao, whatever you want it to be, that it will begin to offer you experiences that match up to what it is that you are feeling so your body responds to what it is you place into your subconscious mind. You have to retrain it because 53 years later, here I am, it's there, but that's innocuous. That's not, that's not gonna hurt anything. But if I've programmed into my subconscious mind, feelings of poor me, I can't do anything about my life, other people are responsible for the reason why I can't get myself happy and healthy and so on. If I live with that kind of consciousness with Enuity, you're going around feeling it all the time. Your feelings, your feelings create the destiny that you want.
If this assumption is persisted in until it becomes your dominant feeling, the attainment of your ideal is absolutely inevitable. That was Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, his website is Dr. Wayne Dyer. Com you can watch today's entire talk on YouTube, it is called Manifest, your deepest desires through spiritual awakening and conscious living with Dr. Wayne Dyer. The book that he's referencing in this clip is Wishes Fulfilled. If you're a big fan of Neville Goddard's writing, you'll really enjoy this one. So if you haven't read a Dr. Dyer, hope before that's definitely a great place to start. That's it for me. We're wrapping up tomorrow with Dr. Joe D'Spenza, enjoy your Thursday and my place.
