  So go to Freedom Live 2026 right now. We're already 50% sold out, so if you're considering coming, go to Freedom Live 2026 right now, and I'll see you in Austin, Texas in December. All right, so let's go ahead and dive in. If you want to change your reality, the fastest way to do it is to change what you believe about yourself. Because you will never create a life that is bigger than the person that you believe yourself to be. Imagine what would happen if you stopped seeing yourself as small, stopped questioning whether you're capable, and genuinely 100% started believing with every fiber of your being that you are far more powerful than you've ever been taught to believe that you are. You would think differently, you would move differently, you would make completely different decisions,

• 3:17Speaker 01

  and those decisions would start creating a completely different reality for you. You would literally shift the reality that you're living in. That's what we're going to be talking about today. I'm going to show you, number one, how powerful you truly are, and then I'm going to teach you three practical shifts to start actually living like the most powerful version of you so that your reality changes. So let's get into it. There's a quote that I live by and I love, and it's by a woman named Marion Williamson. And she says, "Our deepest fear is not that we're inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we're powerful beyond measure. It's our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world.

• 3:57Speaker 01

  There's nothing enlightened about shrieking so that other people won't feel insecure around you." And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give people permission to do the same. And as we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Basically, what she's saying is that our deepest fear is not that we're not enough. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. Think about that for a second. Why would anybody be afraid of being powerful? Because if you're powerful, you're responsible. If you're small, you get an excuse. If you're powerful, you don't get an excuse. If you're powerful, then you need to be that

• 4:40Speaker 01

  and to stop hiding behind your not-enoughness that you've been hiding behind. And the thing is, you weren't born thinking that you're small or thinking that you had limiting beliefs in any sort of way. Watch a two-year-old, they think they can do anything. So where does that go? Well, at some point in time, you, myself, all of us learned that we are not enough. We unlearned how powerful we actually are and started believing that we're not enough. You learned what to think about yourself, the world, what's possible for people like you. You learned your fears. Did you know that you're only born with two fears? Loud noises and falling. Those are the only two that are built into the human circuitry. Everything else, learned.

• 5:24Speaker 01

  Which means your fears, you learned. Your beliefs, you learned. So what did the adults that are around you believe about you? What did your parents, your teachers, your friends, the world expect from you? Don't get too big, be realistic, who do you think you are? And you have to understand, like, you didn't become who you are. You didn't live up to your true potential. You became who you were told you were. That's what beliefs do, they are self-fulfilling prophecies. And I want you to understand that you're not just living in reality, you are constantly creating reality. And I'm not kidding, like, when I say you're constantly constructing the reality around you. Like, you're really creating it.

• 6:09Speaker 01

  Every thought, every belief, everything goes through your head and then shapes your external reality. The only question of this is, are you creating on purpose from a place of personal power, from the highest version of you? Or are you creating from programs that other people taught you? So the most powerful thing that you can settle into and to understand and really feel in all 40 trillion of the cells in your body is that you are a million times more powerful than you believe yourself to be. Think about that for a second. And I really want you to understand this. Like, this isn't some, like, motivational speaker bullshit that I'm giving you. I want you to understand how fucking powerful you truly are.

• 6:54Speaker 01

  And I want you to understand it so much that you start shifting your reality, because your reality will shift quickly when you change your beliefs about yourself. I'll give you some examples, right? Like, I don't want to just tell you some, oh, hey, you can do it, buddy, high five, I believe in you. Like, let me give you some actual scientific proof, right? In 2002, there was a study by a man that was named Bruce Mosley, and he took 180 patients with arthritis in their knee. These people had, like, real pain, trouble walking, trouble going upstairs. And he split them into two groups. One group got real surgery, and the other group was wheeled into surgery. He put them under, and all he did was put a cut on their knee and then stitched them back up. And the ones that got stitched back up, he did nothing. He didn't touch their knee besides that cut and stitching them back up.

• 7:37Speaker 01

  Two years later, the group with the fake surgery reported the same amount of relief, the same amount of mobility, and less pain as the group that got the real surgery. Oh, shit. Think about that for a second. People healed themselves from a surgery that never happened. Nothing was repaired, nothing inside of that knee changed. The only thing that changed was what they believed was done to them. And that believing healed their knees. And so you might be like, oh, well, that's kind of cool, like, that's pain, but pain is all in your head. No, because this stuff shows up in your actual chemistry as well. Want another study? There's a researcher named Aaliyah Crum. She did a study where she gave people a milkshake, the exact same milkshake, to one group and then to another group.

• 8:22Speaker 01

  One group, she told them that there was an indulgent shake, 620 calories, really indulgent. The other group, she told this exact same shake, she labeled it as sensible. It's only 140 calories, so even though it tastes really good, it's very, very guilt-free. And we will be right back. I used to take a whole bunch of different supplements every day, and honestly, it was a lot to keep track of. Since starting IM8, I've simplified my routine so much, I just have one daily drink and I'm done. The problem with supplements is you think you need a cabinet full of them to feel your best, but you don't. IM8 is the way to simplify your supplement routine once and for all. IM8's Daily Ultimate Essentials has 16 supplements,

• 9:05Speaker 01

  replacing 90 ingredients across nine major organ systems in one drink for $2.61 a day. IM8 has made my daily routine so much simpler. Instead of keeping up with a bunch of different supplements, I just have my daily IM8, and it feels good knowing I'm keeping my routine simple and consistent.

And when she measured their ghrelin, and just so you know,

• 11:58Speaker 01

  ghrelin is the hormone that tells you that you're hungry, dropped three times more than the other group. What? Like, their body responded like it had eaten more food off of just what she told them. It was the exact same shake. It was a completely different belief, and it literally changed the hormones and the biology inside of these people. Do you understand what that means? Your beliefs are not just like floating around in your head. They're in your hormones. They're in your pain. They're in your body right now. So think about that for a second. What label have you been wearing your entire life? Because if believing a shake with 620 calories can change your hormones, what does believing you're not smart enough

• 12:41Speaker 01

  or not good enough has, what has it done to your internal hormones in your biology? What has, "Oh, I'm not the type of person that does that" done for your body? Right? You've been running this exact same mechanism your entire life. It's just you had it pointed in the wrong direction. So what if we point this into the actual right direction? What's crazy about is this. So that's called the placebo effect. Another study that was done, accidental study, kind of, it works in reverse as well. So there's the placebo effect. There's also something that's called the nocebo effect, which instead of making yourself healthy, you can actually make yourself sick by what you think. Right? And so, to give you an idea, there was a case from 2007. And I think about this all the time, because I think it's super

• 13:24Speaker 01

  important for us to understand. There was a guy that was in a clinical trial for an antidepressant. He goes through a really bad breakup, and in a dark moment, he decides to swallow the entire bottle of pills that they give him. 29 pills inside of that bottle. He instantly like regrets it, sees it as a mistake, sends himself to the emergency room. By the time he gets there, like, he's in real, real trouble, starting to overdose. His blood pressure has crashed. His heart rate is racing. He's sweating. He's pale. He's shaking. He can barely stay awake. And the doctors are looking at him. They're like, "This guy is overdosing." So they actually start to treat him for an overdose, based off of what was happening inside of his body. And then they're like, "But we don't know what's inside of his body, because this is a trial drug." So they have him do urine work.

• 14:08Speaker 01

  They have him do blood work. They find nothing in his system. Why? Because he was actually part of the placebo group. Those pills are made of sugar, nothing else. And what's crazy is, once he finds out that he was part of the placebo group, within 15 minutes, his blood pressure went back to normal. His heart rate went back to normal. He was fine. He made himself sick with his thoughts, and then he immediately fixed it with his thoughts. Holy crap, right? His body was shutting down over belief, and then his body un shut down over a different belief. Do you understand how crazy that is? And now, I want you to think about this for a second, because most people hear that and go, "Wow, that's a crazy story." No, that's you. That's what you've been doing to yourself your entire life. You've

• 14:51Speaker 01

  been telling yourself you're not capable, and you're behind, and you're not good enough, and you're not the type of person that does that. And your body's been believing you and giving you those hormones, and you've been reacting in different ways based off of what you say. So your energy, your confidence, the way you walk into a room, everything, all of that has been organizing itself around a belief that was never true in the first place. You've been running nocebo in your entire life, and nobody ever came to tell you, "Hey, that's just a sugar pill." So let me be the guy that tells you, "It was never real. What you believe about yourself is not true. You were never small. You're never not enough. You just believed that you were, and your entire body and life organized around it." So the most dangerous thing that you can do, and I mean dangerous in a good

• 15:31Speaker 01

  way, is to wake up your own inner power and understand how powerful you truly are. If you want to shift your reality quickly, this is the fastest way to do it. Okay? So let me give you a step-by-step process. Number one, catch the program. You need to catch your not enoughness. You cannot change anything that you're not aware of. Right? So most people think that their limiting beliefs are just who they are. "Oh, I'm just not a confident person. I'm not good with money. People like me don't do stuff like that. I'm shy. I'm just not a hard worker. I'm lazy." Right? That's your "I'm not enoughness." You have to understand, those are not facts. Those are beliefs, and beliefs are not true. You think that they're true. You feel that they're true, but they're not true. A belief is just

• 16:15Speaker 01

  the thought that you have thought so many times that you believe it to be true. And that's exactly what's keeping you small. And so I want you to start catching it in the moment. Every time you hear that voice that speaks the "I'm not enoughness," "Oh, who am I to do that? I'm not good enough. I can't do this." Whatever your "I'm not enoughness" says, I want you to stop it and ask one question. Is this true? And I mean, not like it's happened so many times, so I believe it, or I was told this as a child, but like, what I mean, is it true? Is it written into the fabric of the universe that you are lazy? Is it written into the fabric of the universe that you are not good enough? If I were to look at your birth certificate, it would say, "1982, born in New York, New

• 16:58Speaker 01

  York, will never be loved." Is that what it says? It doesn't say that? Then it must not be true. It's a belief about yourself. It's just something that you learned from an adult when you were little, and you believed that adults knew everything, and so you took it on. And you've been letting that run your entire life. Like, how insane is that to think about? So the second you name it, you create separation from it. And once you create separation, you now get to choose what your next step is. Right? So you've got to catch the program, and then you've got to go on to step two. Step two, you need to brainwash yourself on purpose. Don't let the world brainwash you, your parents, people around you, the internet, social media. You brainwash yourself from this moment forward. Here's the thing.

• 17:42Speaker 01

  We were all brainwashed unconsciously, not on purpose, to believe that we're small or not good enough. And it wasn't by like one big moment. It's just repetition. Thousands of little messages over the years. You learned what adults thought of themselves, and you took it on. Or you heard what people said to you, and you took it on. So if repetition is what got us here, then repetition is what's going to get you out. And this isn't like some feel-good kind of thing. What you believe about yourself literally changes your body. Right? I'll give you another study from the same lady, Aliya Crum. Again, she did a study with 84 housekeepers. These women were on their feet all day long, cleaning rooms, pushing carts, lifting, bending, everything. They were constantly exercising, basically.

• 18:24Speaker 01

  And most of them didn't realize they were getting exercise. And so, Aliya Crum took half of them and told them, "Hey, you work every day." And actually, when we look at it, this actually means that you're hitting the recommendations that the United States says for an active lifestyle and exercise. So like, just by working, you're doing all the exercise you need. That's it. She didn't change her diet. She didn't change her work, nothing. She just told them a belief. Four weeks later, the group that was told that they were getting all of the exercise they needed, they lost weight. Their blood pressure went down. Their body fat went down. The other group that wasn't told anything, nothing changed. What? How crazy is that? The only thing that changed was what they believed

• 19:09Speaker 01

  about what they were already doing. So think about this. If believing your job is exercise can lower your blood pressure, what do you think believing you're insignificant has done to your life?

• 19:22Speaker 01

  After all that I've said today, you can't think that your thoughts don't affect your body. There's facts that show you it does. So what you need to do is brainwash yourself on purpose. Here's how you do it. I want you to write down one sentence about who you are, like the highest version of yourself when you're not run by fear. What is possible for you at your absolute greatest? It could be something like, "I was built for this. I don't need permission. I create my reality and nothing can stop me." Love it. Do that and have it brainwashed into yourself, the same sentence over and over again. If you're more of a spiritual person, think about it this way. It could be something like, "I was made by a creator in the image

• 20:03Speaker 01

  of the creator, so I create." Read it in the morning. Create a morning ritual around it. Get it into your subconscious. Read it at night before you go to bed as well. Program your subconscious, right? Read it every time you start doubting yourself. Your brain is going to fight it if first to go, "No, no, no, that's not me. That's not me." Of course it is going to do that because it's been running the same old program for 30 years. Read it anyways. Fight through the, "Oh, I don't think this is working." You didn't believe the old stuff the first time you heard it either. You believed it because you heard it so many times that it became normal. So make this sentence that you're brainwashing yourself with your new normal. That's where you have to do it. You have to push yourself to actually

• 20:46Speaker 01

  start to brainwash yourself. And then number three is I want you to act like a creator. I love reading through ancient texts. In the Bible, it says that man was created in the image of God. Now, I want to be really clear. I'm not saying in any sort of way that humans are gods. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is this, God is a creator, and if we're created in the image of God, then we're creators too, correct? That means we're creating our reality. Remember what I said earlier? You're constantly creating all of the time, every single one of us, every thought that we have, right? You don't, do you understand that? Do you under, it's so, you are so fucking powerful and you don't realize it. You've just been told your entire life that you're not. But if you're a creator, don't wait for permission. Don't wait for proof. Do it. Before anything gets created,

• 21:30Speaker 01

  it doesn't exist yet. There's no evidence. So creators act first and the evidence shows up later. Most people do the exact opposite. They wait for proof that they're powerful and then they want to act powerful after that. The proof will never come because they never actually act. And so I want you to do this. Every time you're about to make a decision, big or small, ask yourself, "Am I making a decision from fear or my own personal power?" Fear keeps you small. Power makes you dangerous in this world. And every time you choose your own personal power from the highest version of you, you're handing your brain proof that that program is true and you step more and more into that identity. That sentence you wrote down a few minutes ago stops being words and it starts being

• 22:14Speaker 01

  evidence. And that's why it really, truly matters. And so here's what I want you to take from this. I want you to write down this question. Who would I be if I actually truly understand how powerful I was? Who would I be if I actually truly understood how powerful I am? And then what you do is you ask yourself, "If I was that powerful person, what would I do today?" And then you just go do it. You were never small. You are so much more powerful than you could possibly understand. You've got to realize it and when you do and start acting from it, you will shift the reality around you.
