Exploring how shifting our focus from the 1% we lack to the 99% we already have can transform our lives and change our perception of the world around us.

What I really wanted to talk about today is the power to change lives. If you want to do something, you can absolutely do this. This is one of the key differentiators between average and supernatural - you can absolutely change your life.

It doesn't matter what situation you're currently in. Situations can be bad anywhere, anyhow. They can be difficult for many of us. It doesn't matter how much money we have, how many friends we have, or what our family members say or think about us. For every single person in this world, there are bad circumstances. Some people face circumstances so bad you cannot even imagine.

Everything is a Gift

Everything we experience on earth is a gift - really, it's a gift. Some people don't have arms, and still there are a lot of gifts they do have. If you do have arms, that's already quite an astonishing gift. Think about being grateful, being thankful, experiencing gratitude.

If you have two arms, this is already amazing. Everything around us is amazing that it's here, manifested and really happening in our lives. This building, cars, whatever you want to talk about - it's absolutely remarkable.

You're walking on this earth realizing that all of the most amazing stuff in your life is brought to you as a true gift, for free, as a present. Interactions with other people, hugs - if you got one hug in your life, it's already something to be absolutely grateful for. A kiss - something we get for free, and it's one of the most incredible things we can experience.

The 99% vs The 1%

What I'm trying to say is that 99% of our lives are perfect. What most people do is complain about the other 1% as if this 1% matters - and it doesn't. We all know it doesn't matter because we have 99% amazing.

Of course we can improve as a society, as individuals. Things can be improved in our lives, absolutely. But it's all a matter of focus. On your journey towards abundance, you cannot take lack with you.

We're living a life that's an absolute blessing, yet we're complaining about the 1%. You need to be happy - you already have everything. We are living in a quality of life that pharaohs would have killed for.

It's not just that the 99% is already amazing - it's that mankind and society were able to improve that 1% so much that right now it's only 0.1%.

The Miracles We Take for Granted

We have hot water when we take a shower - every day. That's a privilege, something so amazing and incredible. We have plants around us, cold water when we want to drink, hot water when we need to shower. We have refrigerators that preserve our food, microwaves that turn cold food hot again.

We take everything for granted. We don't feel this 99.9% gratitude every day. We're walking on earth complaining that we don't have everything yet, complaining about the 0.1% we have left.

When you buy a new car or item that you completely love, how fast do you forget how amazing it is? Two days? Ten days? You buy a new kitchen - after how many days does walking in that new kitchen feel normal and usual? Maybe two days, ten days, fourteen days, and after that we don't even see it.

It's All About Perception

It's all about how we perceive our surroundings - not about what's actually there. The outlets are here, but we're not focusing on them, so we don't see them even though they're here. Only what we focus on do we perceive as existing.

If we focus on lack, on not having enough money, not enough opportunities, not enough real estate deals - this is all we're going to see in the world. Then we'll believe that's true. Every day we'll walk the earth feeling and seeing lack, even though 99.9% is already amazing.

The way you perceive the world is going to be the way you see the world. What you see in the world will reinforce what you believe and perceive about the world. This is a cycle.

How to Break the Cycle

How can you break it? Make a different belief. Change your belief, change your life. You can do this.

It's all a matter of focus. Right now, you're inputting to yourself, to your brain, something different than the way you usually see. When you do that enough, walking on earth is going to be amazing again.

A Powerful Exercise

Let's try an exercise before we close. Close your eyes - you can do that right now. Give it a chance.

I want you to reflect back on a moment in your past that was so graceful, so amazing. It could be something in nature, something intimate, something with your family. Be there for a moment. Just be there.

Can you see it? Can you see the moment? Feel as if you're there again. See the people, see the surroundings. Realize it's happening again.

Now open your eyes and see the world. This is the same place, the same life.

That's the power of focus, the power of gratitude, and the power you have to change your life."
