How To Make Your Dreams Come True (Without Working Harder)

On this video, I want to talk to you about this subject. Desires over needs, or how to make your dreams come true without working harder. What?

Well, I'm going to read this to you because I don't want to leave anything out. I really prepared this first couple of seconds. Most people are playing a game they don't want to play, or even realize they're playing, for that matter. The game is played in an arena that is, that is a matrix. It is a matrix. And if you are playing in this arena, you are guaranteed several things. Five of which are: number one, you're guaranteed lots of competition. You're guaranteed lots of judgment, people judging you. You're guaranteed lots of justification. You attempt to justify because people are judging you, or you feel like they are. Lots of political positioning because, well, you want what you believe somebody else wants, and lots of bondage. Doesn't sound like a fun arena, does it?

If you're operating in this arena, you are guaranteed intense competition for scarce resources. That is the foundational framework that most people operate from. They operate from, from this feeling of intense competition for scarce resources. The arena that I'm speaking of is the arena of needs. When you operate from the arena of needs, you believe that there is a limited amount of something. And in order for you to get as much of that something as you want, you have to take it from somebody else. And since you have to take it from somebody else, you believe that you need to justify why you should have it instead of them. Game on.

This arena, I'm sorry, the arena that I'm speaking of is the arena of needs. There is a totally different arena, and that is way more conducive, way more conducive to building a dream life. I want you to think about that. There's a totally different arena than the arena of needs. When was the last time you thought of something that you really, really need? Like, and you're like, "Okay, what do I got to do to get this thing I need?" And some of you are going to dismiss this entire conversation because you're going to look at me and say, 'Well, that's easy for you to say because you have money.' But is it remotely possible? Is it, is it feasible, potentially, that the reason I have more money than I need, and I don't think about my needs hardly ever, is because I just decided a long time ago not to play in that arena? That's somebody else's mud puddle. I want no part of it. Like, I can't remember the last time I thought, "Well, I really need a..." I don't need anything. Like, people always tell me, "It's hard for to buy a gift for you." I know it's hard for ME to buy a gift for ME. I know it's got to be hard for you because I am not living a life that's focused on getting things, focused on getting things I need. The things that I need in my mind are as prevalent as oxygen. So I don't have to think about them. I don't have to give any intention or attention at all to my needs.

But when I talk about this arena that's conducive to living a dream life, this arena is the arena of desire. The arena of needs is a very, very, very small arena with billions of players all competing for seemingly the same limited resources. What's happening here? But the arena of desires, as Ed said before I got started, is infinite. It's an infinite arena with infinite resources for an infinite number of people, but only a limited amount of people ever come to play in that arena. And that is why I believe Jim Rohn said, "There's plenty of room at the top. It's the bottom that's crowded." I don't have any competition. Why? Because I don't, I don't, I don't live in the arena of needs. I just, I, I don't, I don't, I don't care. I don't care to compete. If I am in a race that only I am in, the only thing I can do is win. What?

Like, this is a mindset shift, y'all. This is, this is like such a major mindset shift because we have been programmed by our parents, our teachers, our Sunday schools, our pastors, our work environment, the business, the marketplace, the, the news, the negative, consistently negative news. CNN slides of Fox News, always been corrupt news, ABC. Um, anyway, you get it. We've been programmed to believe that there is a scarce amount of reason. In fact, when people talk about the economy, they always talk about it as a pie with a limited number of pieces. In order for me to get more, you have to have less. In order for you to get more, then I'd have to have less. But, but what you don't understand is there are a few million people in the world who live in this arena. Billions live in the needs arena. Billions. Just a handful of millions live. And, and, and by the way, here's what's cool about the, the arena of desire. There's enough room for all nine billion people on Earth. And it would still, there would still be more than enough for everybody to have more than enough. And there'd still be more than enough left over. What? Oh, this is giving me chills just thinking about it.

See, I am not in competition. This is why, by the way, this is why in business when I am selling, I don't try to get people to buy. Buy or don't buy, I don't care. Because I'm operating from a principle of abundance. What's that principle called? It's called the law of averages. The law of averages states out of every so many people I do a presentation to, X number will buy. And then I apply the law of large numbers to the law of averages. If I'm going to get four sales out of every hundred presentations I get, if, if I give 10,000 presentations, I just made 4,000 sales, or 400 sales. Y'all see how it works? It's not, this is not, this is not some, this is not some pie in the sky. This is not some Myron believes in a fantasy. Okay, you can, okay, let's say I'm wrong. What do I have to lose? Think about, think about this. If I'm wrong, what do I have to lose? Here's the answer: Not much. But if you have been operating from the arena of needs your whole life and you're wrong, you lose everything.

And so, I've got, I've got a couple of principles that I abide by. This is why I don't bungee jump. This is why I don't jump out of perfectly good airplanes. This is why I don't ride motorcycles. I love motorcycles, but I'm a motorcycle idiot and cannot ride one slow, so I will not ride one at all. So, here's, here's a principle that I operate my whole life by: When the upside is limited and the downside is unlimited, it's always a hard no. What does that mean? I, I don't ride roller coasters for the same reason. I don't know the people to put it together. I don't know if they had a bad attitude that day or got in an argument with their spouse or got in an argument with their boss and thought, "I'll show you." Too many variables that I don't have control over. And so, so when the downside is unlimited, I'm going to bungee jump. I'm not saying if you want to bungee jump, bungee and jump, baby. But I'm not doing it. Why? Because if the bungee cord doesn't hold, or the thing that it's holding on to breaks, or if, if, if the downside is limited, I am heading headfirst towards something that I don't want to land on my head with. And that's a pretty unlimited downside. What's the upside of bungee jumping? I get a good feeling that lasts for a few minutes. You know what that is for me? A hard no.

But when the upside has unlimited potential and the downside is limited, i.e., I write a book. The upside is 10 million people could buy the book in the next three years. That's pretty good upside. Downside, 100 people buy the book and it changes two of their lives. Not bad. That's an easy yes for me. Do, do you, are y'all picking up what I'm putting down? Okay.

So, desire and needs are two totally different arenas. All people operate predominantly in one of those arenas. You can't fix other people's problems. So, here's what you need to do right now. Here's what you ought to desire to do right now. Figure out which arena you are operating in and ask yourself, "Do I like the results I'm getting while I'm operating in this arena?" All people operate predominantly in one or the other. The arena that you operate in has more to do with your success or failure than how hard you work, how long you work, or how much education you have. I want you to think about that statement I just made. The arena that you operate in has far more to do with your success or failure than how hard you work, how long you work, or how much education you have.

Now, most of the people watching me, most of the people watching me, and I'm, I'm not bragging, I'm just making an observation. Most of the people watching me right now work harder than me. Like, way harder. Like, way, way harder. You know, I play golf. Y'all pray for me that somebody will come and do a golf intervention. Okay. But I play golf. Last week, my back was pretty jacked up. Couldn't play golf. Got some stem cells. Thanks, Dr. Sam. Um, did some physical therapy. My back's not bothering me at all now. Right. Could not wait to get back out on the golf course. So, I played golf yesterday. Played in the morning, got rained out, played four holes, went home. Sun came out. I'm like, you know, I think I ought to run this play again. Called my son-in-law. We got out there and played 18 more holes. I played 22 holes of golf yesterday. So, I'm working today, this morning, but a friend of mine texted me last night, "Hey, I got an opening extreme song tomorrow afternoon, 2:30, if you want to join us." If I want to join you? Is the sky blue and the grass green? Baby, let's go. So, and I'm telling you this story because I'm working right now. If you want to, if you want to call this work, um, I'm working right now after I'm done with this live. I've got one coaching call and I know I have two, so don't be nervous, my team. I'll do the other one in the car on my way to the golf course. Uh, so, so I'm going to go play golf today.

Now, a lot of golfers when they're playing golf, if they hit a bad shot, they get mad. I don't ever get mad when I hit a bad shot. You say, "Myron, don't you get mad?" Because I am a full-grown man playing a game with a ball and a bunch of sticks in the middle of the day. I'm not digging anybody's ditch. I ain't shovel. I ain't hammering anybody's nail. I ain't cutting anybody's board. I ain't driving anybody's truck. I'M A FULLG GROWN 65-year-old man playing a game like I'm 13 in the middle OF A WORK DAY. PRAISE GOD. If I'm going to BE MAD ABOUT THAT, SOMEBODY NEEDS TO COME GET my family and take them to safety. So, so understand I'm, I'm, I'm come out swinging here a little bit, y'all. Everybody all right? Say I'm all right. I'm all right. Okay.

When you leave the plantation of needs, I'm let that settle in. When you leave the plantation of needs and you enter the promised land of desires, you will have already been upgraded even before your results show up because of the differences in those two environments. You have been programmed your whole life to scratch and claw and fight tooth and nail so that your needs will be taken care of. I am here to tell you: stop thinking about the stuff you need. Operate in a totally different arena. Why do I call needs a plantation? Because operating from needs is a form of bondage. And it keeps you on the struggle bus your whole life. You literally, if you operate in the arena of needs, you have turned the struggle bus into a motor home. That's a word picture.

Okay. Now, I want you to notice something in this presentation. I want you to notice that I kept keep using the word desire and I haven't used the word want. How many y'all noticed that before I even brought it up? Okay. Why do I keep using desire? Want is one syllable. Desire is two syllables. It's just easier to say the things you work on things you want. Here's why: Want is a double entendre. It has two meanings. It means want means desire, but it also means lack. My subconscious mind does not have access to a dictionary. Let that one sink in. So, how does it know which one I'm talking about? I remember when I was a little kid, when I first learned the 23rd Psalm, it did not make sense to me. This doesn't make sense because I only knew one of the definitions of the word want meant to desire. So, when it said, "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want," I thought, "If the Lord's my shepherd, why don't I want him?" That's what I thought it meant. "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want." I thought it meant I shall not want the Lord who's my shepherd. But it means the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not lack. But see, the word desire doesn't have two meanings. It doesn't mean desire and lack. It just means desire. I'm going to, I'm going to write it on the board. So the word desire has a singular definition and that definition day Latin root day which means of or from. This is so good. Desire, desire, father, desire of the father, or from the father, which reminds you of what Psalm 37:4: "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he will give thee the desires of thine heart." Which most people think it means He'll give you what your heart desires. I believe it eventually means that, but initially it means He'll give you what to desire. And when He gives you what to desire, then He gives you what you desire because you desire what He desires you to desire. Why? Because you got your desire from the Father. This is so freeing. Like, common people think I'm crazy. They're not completely wrong, but they think I'm crazy because I only allow myself to focus on what I only allow myself to focus on. And I don't get sidetracked by somebody else's agenda. Nobody else's agenda except for the Father's is in the arena of my desires. I love being free. I love being free from judgment and from competition. Like, I'm not trying to beat you. I'm not trying to beat you. Now, on the golf course, we have pretend competition. But even when I get beat, when Paul beats me, I don't care. When John beats me, I don't care. I act like I care so they can feel better about beating me. And when I beat them, I act like I care even though I don't care, so they can feel worse about me beating them. Okay? So, but I like operating from an arena with no competition.

So, here's what happens when you move from the arena, um, of needs to the arena of the arena of desires. You will trade, you will trade your can'ts for cans. How cool is that? You'll go from "I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't." Why? Because you're so focused on something that's limited. Your focus on limitation perpetuates limitation. I know it sounds all so magical and it's not. It's just how God set it up from the very beginning. So, you get, you, you trade your cans. You know what I like? I like "I cans" way better than "I can't." "I cans" are like magnificent. "I can't," not so much. And so you get to trade "I can't" for "I can." "I can't because I don't have time." "I can because I get to decide what to do with my time." "I can't think of anything." "I haven't taken the time to think of anything, but I'm going to go take some time. Then I'll think of it." You'll trade your "I can't" for "I can." You'll stop believing in external limitations and recognize that the limitations that you are experiencing, you are experiencing them internally because you're operating in the arena of needs. And the arena of needs has taught you to focus on your limitations and ignore your leverage.

Sometime, like for a long time in my entrepreneurial career, before stuff started showing up, stuff, money, okay, started showing up, and I was working on all this stuff that seemed like it wasn't working. But there's no such thing as work that doesn't work, 'cause the Bible teaches us that all work works. "In all labor there is profit." So all works. But work is a two-sided coin. If I flip the coin of work and it lands on tails, it's not working for me, it's working on me. But because I'm living in the arena of needs instead of the arena of desires, when the work is working on me, I feel like it's working against me. But it's not working against me. You know what's working against me? My belief in the idea that it's working against me. And I get to decide. We're going to get to that word in a minute. So, I get to trade my "I can't" for "I cans." This is so, this is so magnificently powerful. Okay, I'm not even going to draw this yet. I'm going to draw something on the board in a minute. When I do, it's going to blow your mind. It blows my mind. My mind's easily blown, but that has nothing to do with this. Okay.

You're going to tra, you're going to, you're going to trade not just can'ts for cans. You're going to trade competition for collaboration. If you are operating in the arena of needs, you look at every person as a threat. I had an experience recently where I got invited to speak on a really, um, really popular podcast, like 14 million subscribers on their YouTube channel, and they reached out to me. I didn't reach out to them. I was sitting at home minding my own business. Why? A friend of mine, um, Josh Latimer. So Josh Latimer is is a guy who teaches blue-collar workers how to build funnels and how to like scale their blue-collar home services business, right? And so he and I are friends. We were in, we've been in the same mastermind for, I don't know, six, seven, eight years. And so he's a believer and he and I would have conversations. He's like, "Back when I only had 5,000 subscribers on my YouTube channel, dude, your content is so good. I can't believe the whole world needs to know about you. Aren't you frustrated?" "I'M SO MAD RIGHT NOW." "I'M LIKE, 'IT'S OKAY, JOSH.'" He's like, "What do you mean it's okay? THIS IS THE BEST STUFF I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE. It's okay. People will find out when they find out. I don't have a million subscribers when I'm supposed to have a million subscribers." He used to be so frustrated when I'd say THAT, too. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, BRO?" "I'M LIKE, WHAT I mean is everything is beautiful in its time." If I start making my time, my calendar, my schedule the priority, all I'm going to do is frustrate myself. It doesn't speed anything up. I might as well enjoy the ride while still focusing on the things I desire to have.

So it, you trade competition. So when I see somebody else who does something, instead of me seeing them as a threat, I see them as a potential collaborative partner. So this, this, this, this YouTube channel that has 14 million subscribers reached out to me. I'm like, "Okay, would you like to come to New York and, um, be on our podcast on this day?" Sure, I, I'll do that. And what I'll do is, I'm already going to be in Maryland. I'll just extend the jet and go to New York and then have the interview. Great. Okay. They said, they confirmed they want me to come. The next day, they sent me an email: "We're not sure we want you to come. We need to have another conversation with you." Okay, I'll have another conversation with you. And we went back and forth a bunch of times. And then one time, I'm having a conversation with one of the employees for from this person, and I felt like I was on a job interview. I'm like, y'all reached out to me. What are we doing? Right? Y'all reached out to me. No, I really don't care if they never invite me back. I don't care. I like, I'm not pretending not to care. And it's not that I don't care because I'm mad at them. I'm not mad at them. But I told him I said, "The next time you think you might want me, know for sure." Because they, "Oh, we'll reimburse you $1,500 for your expenses." $1,500 will cover the tip for the flight crew. No, just quit tripping. Right? Like, it, it's going to c for me to fly from Tampa to New York. It's going to cost me 110. No, it's not. It's going to cost me about 70, $80,000 round trip. Now, I don't mind spending 70 to $80,000 round trip, but I don't want to spend 70, $80,000 and then I get booked and then you call me right before it's supposed to happen, say, "Oh, never, something came up." I'd rather not you not even invite me in the first place. I'm okay with that.

So, I'm having a conversation with my son about this experience. He says, "You know why that happened, don't you?" I said, "No, why?" He said, "Because he believes in evolution." I said, "What does that have to do with anything?" What? Yeah, that's what he said. Because you believe in evolution. I mean, because he believes in evolution. I said, "What does that have to do with anything?" He said, "When you believe in evolution, you see everybody as a competitor and everything as an opportunity that you have to take advantage of before somebody else takes advantage of the opportunity." Like, I never thought of that before. Which reminds me why like I never, you like when I talk about something getting better, I never say, "Well, it evolved into this." It didn't evolve. It developed into that. Evolution implies progress without intention or energy. That's what evolution implies, right? Progress without intention. So I don't say some, this thing evolved, that thing evolved, that thing, this thing evolved. I say it developed.

So, I'm going to show you the original cover of "The Origin of Species" by Charles Darwin, a failed religious priest who pseudoscientist who came up with this theory that literally was a racist thesis. This is the original cover on "The Origin of Species" by means of natural selection, or the preservation of favored races in the struggle for life. Wow. That's the original cover. Now, when people are talking about racism, nobody ever talks about Charles Darwin, which is the foundation. It's literally one of the foundational cornerstones of racism because I'm competing with you, so I have to be better than you. Okay, you can, you can, we don't need to show that anymore. So, but you, you get it. So, so people believe in intense competition for scarce resources because of evolution. I don't believe in evolution and I don't believe in intense competition for scarce resources. I believe I know for a fact that the, the, the universe that God created is ever expanding. It's large and ever expanded. Why? Because God created an ecosystem of production. Animals reproduce. They reproduce like more than the originals. Like, do you realize all the animal, all the land animals on earth, if they're unclean beasts, they came from two unclean beasts, and if they, they started from two. If they're clean beasts, they started from seven after the flood. All of the humans that exist on earth right now are the descendants of Adam and Eve from a macro perspective, but even later than that, are a descendant of Noah and Mrs. Noah. Nine billion people. And see, we believe, we believe that the stuff is the resources. The stuff's not the resources. The stuff are just assets. God is the source. We are the resource. People, we're running out of natural resources. No, we're running out of natural resourcefulness because we're living in the arena of needs.

It changes the game. And, and I used to say to my wife all the time in our entrepreneurial journey when, when I was working really hard at business to, to learn it. I wasn't working for the money. I was working to learn business, to master the skills that were necessary to produce this desired outcome, this vision that I had for myself. And I remember one of my mentors in, when I was in network marketing, his name's Ben. And back in the '90s, Ben was making $90,000 a month. And I thought, $90,000 a month? What do you do with $90,000 a month? That's, that's 90? What? I had one day last week where we generated almost 10 times that. Literally $899,000 in one day in revenue. Why? I'm not in competition with Ben. That's not why I told you that. But I'm telling you that what I used to believe was so much, I couldn't wrap my mind around it in a month. Now we have many, many days and throughout months where we do way more than that. Why? Because I stopped operating from needs. Get off the plantation of needs. Come into the promised land of desires. The game will change forever for you. And by the way, it is a decision.

So, okay. So, we talked about, um, you trade your compet, you trade, um, can'ts for cans. You tra, trade competition for collaboration. You trade constraints for compounding. In the land of needs, everything is a constraint. I have a limited amount of time. I have a limited amount of energy. I have a limited amount of money. I have a limited amount of food. I have a limited amount of relationship. I got to fight to keep my limitations. But in the arena of desires, everything compounds. Do you realize people live longer today than they did 100 years ago? Not only do they live longer, they live longer and have a better experience of life. Not only that, I'm talking about like millions of people around the world live better lives than it was possible to live 100 years ago. Think about how mind-blowingly amazing that is. Why? Because somebody, a bunch of somebody's decided, "I'm not going to live in the arena of needs anymore. I'm going to live in the arena of desires. I'm going to go create the stuff I desire so that it serves other people." It's such a beautiful, freeing place to live when you trade constraints for compounding. Like, there's like there's always more. There's always more that I can be. There's no point that I can become so much that I don't have room to become more. If I learn how to use leverage, there's always more I can do, even though I'm actually, I'm actually doing less because I'm using the leverage to accomplish things that I used to do with labor. So, I'm replacing my labor with leverage. So, I, I go from constraints to compounding. So, it's such an amazingly beautiful way to live. If I will. If you will. Okay.

I'm trading compulsion for creativity. What does that mean? I'm going from "I have to do this. I have to. I can't because I have to do this. I can't because I have to do that. I can't because I have to do this. I can't because I have to do that." I go from "I can't because I have to" to "I can because I get to." That's the difference in constraints. Like, I go from corroboration to calling. You say corroboration, what does that mean? I'm justifying why I'm doing everything I'm doing because I don't want you to judge me. Well, yeah, I make a lot of money, but I support charity, but I give back. I hate that phrase so much. I hate it so much. Somebody commented on one of my videos last week, "Yeah, Myron, that's great for making money, but I care more about a mission-driven, I care more about a mission-driven business." But see, your inference, see, the problem is not the problem is not that the businesses that I have don't have any mission. The problem is you believe that mission can only be served based on somebody else's limitation that you fulfill. Because you fulfilling what you believe is their limitation fills your satisfaction to corroborate that you need to justify the work that you do so other people won't judge you. So what you're really doing is you're making that the reason so that you can escape judgment. Oh snap. But wait, there's more. But before there's more, I got to take this hot jacket off.

So I don't have to justify the money that I make. My, why do you, why do you need to make so much money? Oh, I don't need to make so much money. I just desire to do it. I don't do it because I need it. I don't make the money because I need the money. I don't, in the words of Jim Rohn, "I don't need the money. I'll take the money, but I don't need the money." Right? I don't need the money, but I like the money. Why? It's a good way of just kind of seeing where I am in the game that I'm playing that has no competition. I don't need to have more money than you. I just need to have more money than me. How do you have more money than you? Well, I have a certain amount today, but tomorrow it will be more. Why? Because I can. Well, that seems mighty greedy and mighty selfish. Good. I'm going to let you keep operating in the arena of needs. And you, by the way, you can judge me all you want. I don't even mind because you get what you desire and I get what I desire. You desire to justify staying where you are, and I get to continue to live where I am and without any need for justification whatsoever. I don't need to justify anything.

I don't give back ever. I don't ever give back. Why? Because the charities that I give to, I didn't get anything from them. I'm, when I give, I'm just giving. And I don't need to call it giving back so you feel good about the money I'm making. I don't care if you feel good about the money I'm making. You feel bad about it. You can think I'm a horrible human being. I don't like, I don't have time to care. And why? I don't. So, I mean, if you think about how much energy people waste ON CLAWING AND competing and striving and proving and justifying, what are we doing? Pontificating and politicking so that people think that we're better than we think we are. I don't like, nope. Don't have time to care.

What if you just operated from desire from the Father, of the Father? That would change the game for you. Now, like there's no, there's no justification necessary. There's no, just, I don't, my, but you make more money than you need, and you already have more money than you need. When does it stop? When I'm dead. It doesn't even stop then. Because we've got systems that perpetuate it after I'm gone. Why? Because "a good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children." So stop, stop justifying yourself. Like, think about it. Somebody said to you, "How long do you want to live?" What would your answer be? "As long as I can." You wouldn't say, "As long as I can, as long as nobody else has to die." You wouldn't say that. Why? Because it doesn't make any sense. It's nonsense. That's nonsense. How healthy do you want to be? Well, I want to be as healthy healthy as I can as long as no one else gets sick. That's insanity. What kind of, what are we doing? Where we, where do we get this from? Oh, we got it from the cultural hypnotic societal mechanism. Predominantly, we got it from the miseducational misdirectional system, aka the government indoctrination camps, child prisons, schools, whatever you want to call them. Because the reality is, the reality is we were competing with other children for grades in subjects where we had to memorize things we'll never use, at the expense of not learning things that we'd have to use for the rest of our lives. So literally we were trained to be distracted in the arena of needs.

Okay. So when it comes to needs versus desires, here are some things we need to do. Ignore your needs and focus on your, focus on your desires. Just ignore your needs. Just stop thinking about them. If you focus on your desires, if you pick some desires, some things you just desire to have, some things you desire to do, some things you desire to be, and you just focus on that and ignore your desires, your life will start getting better exponentially immediately. Not, not, it might, it will, it'll start getting better. You'll just start feeling better. Okay, cool. So, you get that. Okay. Instead of the needs and scarcity, and in the arena of needs, scarcity is the constraint. But in the arena of desires, infinite abundance is the constraint, which means there is no constraint.

I'm, okay, here's what I'm going to do. I'm, I'm going to do something. When I'm doing it, I want you to ask me what I'm doing. Then I'm going to tell you what I'm doing. And then I want you to ask me why. Everybody got it? So, I'm, I'm gonna do something. Say, "Myron, what are you doing?" I'm gonna tell you what I'm doing. And then when I tell you what I'm doing, ask me why. Everybody ready? "What are you doing?" I'm holding my breath. "I don't want to breathe too much air. There might not be enough left over for everybody else." I sound like a crazy person. But people say that about making money all the time. "I don't want to make too much money because there might not be enough leftover for everybody else." That's literally just as insane as holding your breath thinking it's going to give somebody else more air. Okay, cool. Infinite abundance is the constraint, which means there's no constraint. That means the arena, in the arena of desires, there is no constraint. But there is a catalyst. What's the catalyst? The catalyst in the arena of desire is belief. Belief is the thing that activates. It's the active ingredient in desire. Belief in your ability to achieve the desire. Belief in your ability, belief in your, the, um, what's the word I'm looking for? Belief in the built-in righteousness, for lack of a better word, to have the desire. Like, I desire it because it's good to desire to be more, to do more, and to have more. It's, it's not only okay. It's not just okay. It's actually a beautiful thing. Here's, here's where, here's, By the way, some, my wife asked me this question when I started teaching stuff like this. "Myron, what's the difference between that and covetousness?" Covetousness is a desire to have without the willingness to do the right thing in order to have the thing that we desire. That's covetousness. If I'm willing to do the right thing in order to have the thing I desire, there's no covetousness involved. There's only personal development involved. Okay, the catalyst of belief. If you can discipline yourself to believe in your desires and get those two forces pulling in the same direction, you win.

So the question then becomes, in order to activate desire by using the catalyst of belief, here are three things you must do. You ready? Number one, you must intend to believe. You set an intention. "I'm going to believe this." You just, by the way, and you say, "What's an intention?" It's an objective that I see in the future. I intend to believe this. This is what I intend to believe from now on. Like, from now on, I'm going to believe this. You just intend it. Then you decide. Okay? You decide to believe it. Now, deciding and intending are not the same thing. Intending is when I'm inclined in that direction because I'm, I'm deciding to lean towards it, move towards it. But deciding comes from the Latin root "de" which means of or from, and "side" means to cut. I used to write, now I just think about it, to cut. So when I decide something, I literally cut myself off from any other possibility. Here's what decide is. Decide. By the way, you know another word that means to cut? What's another word that means to cut? A Bible word that means to cut? The word covenant means to cut. And a covenant is a cut based on a promise because of mutual love and admiration, because of mutual love and trust. And so when you make a covenant with somebody, you're swearing on your life to protect that person. Do you realize that deciding is when you decide, you're actually making a covenant with yourself? Here's what that means. When you decide to do something, that's not the same as choosing. Choosing means pick one. When you decide, here's what it means. It means I am going to do this, or I am going to die in the doing of it. That's a decision.

Okay. So, so the first thing I do is I intend, I intend to decide. Come on, change pages. Okay. So, I intend to decide. I mean, I, I intend to believe. I intend to believe. And then I decide to believe. In other words, I cut myself off from any other possibility other than believing. If somebody comes and talks me out of believing this, that means I intended to, but I never decided to. I said this to my nephew a couple days ago. He said, "What do you mean, Uncle Myron? You can't just decide to believe something." Sure you can. Where do you think your beliefs came from? There was a point in your life where you decided to, whether consciously or unconsciously, to believe the things you believe. The problem is most people never consciously decided what to believe. They've only subconsciously decided to believe because if you don't consciously decide what to believe, somebody else is going to decide what you should believe. And then you're going to live in the arena of needs, which is also the arena of "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts."

So, and the last thing is you discipline yourself. You discipline yourself. I don't even think I spelled that right. Yeah, I did. Discipline yourself to. Y'all ready for this next word? To only believe. You discipline yourself to only believe. In other words, I believe, and there's no doubt mixed with it. By the way, that requires discipline, which means like, I, I think of discipline as doing what I'm supposed to do, the way I'm supposed to do it, when I'm supposed to do it, and doing it that way every time I do it. Which means I have to actually, I have to consciously and actively overcome my temptation to doubt the thing I've decided to believe. Why do I, why would I even be tempted to doubt the things I decided to believe? Because of what my eyes see. Because faith is created in the ears. Doubt is created in the eyes. So I see a circumstance. A, what is circumstance? Circle. Circum-circle. Stance. Standing still. Circumstances are the things that have me surrounded when I'm standing still. Why am I standing still? Because I believe in the arena of needs. I have so much I want to say about that, but I'm going to skip it just because of time. Okay.

So, so you discipline yourself to only believe. It requires, it requires intense intention to decide to only believe. Because when you catch yourself being tempted not to believe, you have to actively work against that. Maybe saying it out loud, "Oh, thank you for sharing, but I'm not going to believe that. I'm going to believe this instead." Why? Because I decided to. We must, we must abandon our belief in evolution. We already talked about that. We must even abandon our use of the word as ev, of evolution as a way of explaining the pathway of transformation. Evolution is not the pathway to transformation. Development, which which requires design, energy, and intention, is the pathway to development. Okay. To transformation. Okay.

The last thing I'm going to say is this. When you live in the arena of needs, you're always operating from analogy. You're always looking around, getting your cues from everybody else who's stuck in the same, on the same plantation of needs. So, you're copying people who are focused on doing things that the arena has programmed them to believe. And you're doing, you're copying them instead of operating from first principles. What's first principles? I look at the desired outcome and I only let the desired outcome tell me what actions to take in the present. When I find myself being tempted to be distracted by the false doctrine of wind or the false doubt of waves, I discipline myself to believe what my ears have heard, to listen to the voice that called me out of the boat in the middle of the storm and have given that voice has given me the ability to walk on the very circumstances that threaten to destroy my life. Y'all know I'm talking about the story of Peter, right? Walking on the water. Peter said something I'd never say. "Lord, if it's really you, call me out there with you." I'm too skeptical to say stuff like that. Because I'd have thought, "Well, what if it ain't him?" And he called me out there anyway. That's what I'd have thought. But Peter, he wasn't, he wasn't thinking about all that. He said, "Call me out there with you." The Lord said, "Well, come out." Peter gets out of the boat. The other disciples, "Look at Peter. Look at Peter." He's walking towards the Lord. He's listening to the voice. And all of a sudden it says, "When Peter saw the wind..." Really, what does the wind look like? Didn't say when Peter felt the wind. Didn't say when Peter heard the wind. Said, "When Peter saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid and began to sink." Maybe your real problem is you've been spending too much time looking at the wind.

You say, "Myron, what are you saying?" I'm saying this. I'm inviting all of you out there in the YouTubosphere, all of you in this room, I'm inviting you to come into this arena of desire where you don't have to justify what you're doing anymore. To people who don't care, they just want to judge you so they can justify staying in the arena. You don't have to justify anymore. You don't have to compete anymore. You don't have to complain anymore. You don't have to see all of the limitations that exist in your world anymore. You can just ignore it. You say, "But how do you do that?" Well, do the same thing with the limitations that you've been doing with the abundance. Just ignore it because they've both always been there all the time.

Now, I already told y'all before I got started. I told y'all this is going to be challenging. In fact, your subconscious mind for some of you is already fighting against you. Oh, that can't be true. Nope, it can't be for you. But you know what? Even if it's not true for me, I'm gonna keep pretending it is because if I'm only pretending, it's working out pretty good. What are you saying, Myron? I'm saying this. When you operate in the arena of desire, last illustration, here's what you're doing. There's a tug of war until we until we decide we don't want to play this game anymore. There is a tug of war between two people inside of us. Like kind of like Jacob and Esau. There's a tug of war between two people inside of us. And that tug of war is between E and D. By the way, E always wins the tug of war. Always. Always. There's, there's never a time when E loses. E has never lost the tug of war. So, I'm not going to tell you who E is yet, but I'm going to tell you who D is. D is desire. Does like E always wins. Now, I know it seems like what I'm saying is, well, what if E always wins? I don't know who E is, but if E always wins, why should I even desire it? Because you can't make E lose, but here's what you can do. You can recruit E. I don't think I can do this with this, but I'm going to do my best. You can recruit E. Oh, please work. Please work. Please work. Please work. No, it used to, it used to do this, but it doesn't do it anymore. So, you can recruit E to come over here. Oh. You can recruit E to come over here and pull in the same direction with you. So you rec, expectation. So all of us, our perpetual job is to recruit our expectation to pull in the same direction as our desire. And then not only does E always win, but desire always wins also.

I hope this helps you. Stay blessed by the best, my peeps. I got a coaching call in seven minutes. I'm gonna have to let y'all go. I'll see you on the next video. Bye for now.
