there is a movie that came out in the year of 2000 titled The Boiler Room starring Ben Affleck and there was a particular scene in this movie that really stood out for me there is a life lesson to be taken from this particular scene in this scene an Affleck is seen sharing one of the greatest secret I strongly believe when it comes to self-belief self-confidence and self-esteem and I strongly believe that if you and I were to really take heed to this advice that Ben Affleck was sharing in this scene that whatever we really want to achieve in this life we can really truly achieve whatever we're looking for and if you are watching this video if you're suffering from low self-esteem and you're suffering from low confidence if you're feeling stuck right now in life I believe that taking heed to this advice that Ben Affleck shares in this scene we will begin to see different results so let's dive into this scene so in this scene Ben Affleck is seen talking to the group of new aspiring young employees at a round table and Ben then shares three of the most important words when it comes to self-belief he begins to tell the new employees these three words act as if act as if you are already the president of this firm that was the words Ben Affleck was echoing in that room now what was Ben Affleck actually saying to these new employees he was trying to tell them in order for you truly to succeed you already have to believe you already have to act as if you already have succeeded in this role he was implementing a self-confidence chip inside of them by making them act as if they're already the main guy in that firm there was a demeanor there is a confidence that Ben Affleck wanted them to have and here comes one of the greatest secrets I strongly believe one of the greatest secret when it comes to self-confidence self-esteem and self-belief and that is the principle act as if this is a principle that many of the philosophers and historical figures have been using throughout life and even people in our time now are using to succeed in this life this is a principle that I've adopted for the last 8 to 10 years and is worked so much for me and I believe that if you was to adopt this principle the ACT Asif principle you would truly succeed in your respectful field like I said this ain't something new perhaps you've even heard this before how many times have you heard phrases like dress for the job that you want not the job that you already have how about this one fake it till you make it and how about this one this is seen in a Biblical reference let the poor say I'm rich and let the weak say I'm strong all these phrases that we've heard throughout our lifetime deals with the phrase or deals with the principle act as if so what do we mean when we say implement the act as if principle well two things number one by acting as if you're already the person you want to become and number two is by acting as if you already have what you want to achieve so one deals with becoming something and the second thing deals with already obtaining something that you're looking for the acting a safe principle it involves adopting a mindset a behavior and attitude of the person you would like to become let me give you an example in my personal life I always had a dream a vision to really speak in front of multitude of crowds to inspire them to motivate them to become the best version of themselves and before I stood in front of hundreds of people I had to act as if I was already speaking in front of people so one of the things that I would find myself doing in the early stage of my career was to be in my bedroom or be inside my car and I'll just pretend like I'm speaking in front of 500,000 people and I'll begin to really Inspire I'll put in so much energy so much effort and act as if I'm speak in front of people I was doing this for months for years before I actually had an opportunity to speak in front of people and when that moment came it was already easy for me to speak in front of people because this is something that I've been doing throughout years acting as if I was the number one speaker in the world and I still do it to this very day this is something that you need to really adopt in your life many of you guys have probably heard Jim kery using this principle before he acted as if he was already a multi-millionaire by writing himself a check of $10 million and he put it inside his wallet and for years when by he didn't receive this $10 million until one particular year he stared in one of his breakthrough movies and he was able to achieve the $10 million that he wrote for himself he was already acting as if he's an actor that is worth $10 million now you see this principle is something that you can adopt in your life this very moment now some of the hurds that you might face when you're doing this act as see sometimes we tend to feel like oh I'm not being real I'm feeling a bit fake you know fake it till I make it but you need to understand is that what you're dealing with you're dealing with an attitude and you need to understand how the mindset works the way how our mind works is there is two parts of our mind we have the conscious mind and the subconscious mind now the beautiful thing about your subconscious mind which is the lower part of your mind is that it's so to say let's say it's like your hard dra and your subconscious mind whenever you're acting it doesn't even know if it's real or fake you know I can say something to you right now that can cause you to be really afraid and it could be a lie but you could actually believe it to be I could be working on your subconscious mind so what I mean is that you could fool yourself you could convince yourself that you are a successful entrepreneur without even having a business by telling yourself this by brainwashing yourself to believing that you are that person and the more you start brainwashing yourself to believe that you are this person trust me your actions will begin to follow you will begin to walk like a successful entrepreneur you will start behaving like a successful entrepreneur this is something you begin to adapt the beh behavior of a successful entrepreneur many of you guys the reason why you are where you are today is because you have not adopted this mindset yet you are waiting for that big breakthrough you're waiting for things to fall in place but all you need to do is to change your attitude act as if you are already that multimillionaire act as if you already that successful musician act as if you're already that successful author act as if you already achieve a degree a PhD act as if you already achiev the things that you're looking for don't wait for things to settle before you start behaving like it it starts in the mind brainwash yourself to believe that you already are that person you know one of the things that I always had to ask myself I say Rudolph you want to achieve these things so the question that you I need to ask myself and I want the viewers to ask thems is that what kind of person do you need to become in order to achieve this thing and once you find out answer what I need you to do is to begin to act as if you've already achieved the things that you're looking for there's many people watching me right now the only thing that is stopping you from achieving the things that you want to achieve is because you lack the self believe in yourself to achieve it you lack the self-confidence the self-esteem listen to me listen to what I'm saying I strongly believe by just changing your attitude by just believing that you're already that person that you want to become you will begin to see results and ladies and gentlemen as always we want to leave you with practical steps I want to leave you with things that you can do this this very moment like I always say this channel is dedicated to the three piece which is your purpose potential and personal fulfillment when you come on this channel we want to help you to unlock these three piece and as much as this could be very inspiring and motivating one of the things that I really take pride in is that taking action today so therefore at the end of all our videos we always leave you with a practical steps so with this practical steps what I want you to do is that I want you to have a mental image of the person you want to become or perhaps there's someone out there already doing the things that you want to achieve I want you to start studying that person and for the next 21 days 21 is always the magic why according to research it takes 21 days to change a habit so for the next 21 days what I want you to do is that I want you to begin to act as if you already have the thing that you're looking for I want you to act as if you've already become the person that you want to become just try it for 21 days before one will become something they actually need to start acting like that person you know the law of attraction says we don't attract what we want we attract who we become so become that person guys if you like content like this and you would
