Welcome to Darren Daly on demand, your most trusted resource to help you become better every day.

Here's your success mentor, Darren Hardy.

Good morning. So today, I want to share with you one of the most profound teachings I received about the power of our mind and about our human potential. This insight

is what helped me redirect my mind and redirect my life from whatever limited circumstances

I believed I had come from. Because up to that point, I believed that I wasn't smart enough.

I thought that you had to go to a top university to be respected enough to achieve.

I believe that didn't come from the right upbringing, have the right connections, or have

the right innate talents to succeed, like those that I saw on television and in magazines.

It was this simple but utterly profound understanding that changed everything forever.

Here's how it was explained to me.

The human mind behaves as if we're divided into two parts.

The thinker and the prover.

The thinker can think about virtually anything.

And then whatever the thinker thinks about, the prover has to, on command, prove what the thinker has thought to be true. This is why what you believe

about yourself, you become. If your thinker thinks, I am incapable, your mind, the prover,

will scan your history and pull from it all of the grand experiences you've had, those things that

validate and prove that thought.

Additionally, the prover will look for everything in the precedent environment, which will

reinforce that thought. It will find something and you will say, see, I knew that I wasn't

good at this, proving the thinker right. You then act on that reinforced belief that you are incapable and guess what?

So you become incapable. The prover has done its job, proved you the thinker right. Let's take

a practical example. Let's say that you believe you can't learn how to become fluent in a foreign language or you can't learn how to become a successful entrepreneur.
