Quotes of Bob Proctor:
Bob Proctor: “The 11 Forgotten Laws- Complete Collection
Use your mental faculties, master your mind, and be in harmony with universal laws.”
“Learn to think as you ought to think.”
“Live with the ideal- don’t neglect the practical.”
“Learn to use your powers unless you wish to be used by them.”
“Try to improve all your opinions.”
Law of use and The Law of Vibration. Take an action step now to learn more about them. Look them up! Dig and mine the gems from these Laws and watch your life transform as you understand the truth of these laws and apply them to work directly in your life.
Watch each video that you find on this topic every day for 1 week.
Dedicate your time to thoroughly understanding these most important
things.
“You can acquire the ability by studying the law of life.”
Remember, “When we violate the law, we lose.”
“Through constant effort use your thinking in constructive ways as you work with these laws.”
Have you analyzed your beliefs?
Form a clear and definite idea: now ask yourself are your convictions as to why you think as you do and think as you think accurate and in your highest and best interest?
Know this, “Almost all of your beliefs you’ve inherited.”
Now pause for a moment. Read that last sentence again. Slow down. What does this mean for your life right now as it is? As yourself what can you do about it?
“We have a lot of ideas locked up in our minds that violate the laws of the universe.” Do you really want to design your life around this fact? Or can you do something about it now? Don’t wait. Tomorrow may be too late. If there is anything that we learned through the global shutdowns, slow down, plandemic is that tomorrow is not promised. People can die at any time and you would be shocked. I want to encourage you to, “Take this work seriously.”
Understand that, “Clear exact thinking is a sure means of advancement.”
You should be aware that there exists a “Line of distinction drawn between surface thought and genuine thought.”
You have the ability to,” Quicken your perception leading to an enlargement of life”, by employing, “Deep penetrating thought.”
Have you ever thought to yourself, “How do we take quantum leaps?
vs. small incremental changes?” Really think about your answer. Write it in your journal and allow some time for careful and thoughtful reflection.
For example, How would you go about initiating the change to
progress and grow from having your annual income and making that into your monthly income
Sometimes a hard Truth to swallow and accept is that everything that has come into our life we have attracted through the Law of vibration. Set aside time to really study these laws
Consider, “Why do you do what you do and why you don’t do many things that you want to do?” What are your reasons, motivations (both hidden and known), and unconscious limiting beliefs?
One of the traits of many of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs, world-class athletes, luminous scholars, best-selling authors, and other highly successful and effective people playing the game at the highest levels is that they have an Obsession. Their obsession is their craft.
Today, Decide what you want, get involved, co-create with the universe, and collaborate with like-minded people.
The First Law involves the Law of Thinking. What is crucial for you to know is that your:
“Mind is the master power that molds and makes- shapes what you will bring forth- 1,000 joys and1,000 ills.”
James Allen- As A Man Thinketh book
Always be mindful that, “Thinking is a powerful force.”
Indeed, “Thinking is a very powerful form of energy.” What would you do differently now as you come into awareness, raise your consciousness, and know that your, “Thought waves penetrate all time and space.”
Bob Proctor believed that “To the average person, life is an enigma, but it is very simple if one holds the key.”
Mystery- Have you ever watched the T.V, Program, “Unsolved Mysteries”? Well, if you are familiar you know that many of the world’s top mysteries have been solved and many remain a mystery. Life is similar. We gain more success as we begin to delve into the nature of life and penetrate its mysteries. Our primary goal then should become to gain a complete understanding of life so that it is no longer mysterious, complex, and boggling our minds.
You will begin to notice that as you, “Adopt concepts and adapt your mind to them your problems will begin to disappear.” And so, for that reason alone you should develop and cultivate the cornerstone habit,
“Think powerful thoughts.”
Keep at the forefront of your mind that, “We are progressive beings.”
We will find ourselves, “Conquering via the development and culture of our inherent powers.” What do you believe to be true?
“Progress is determined by this ruling mental state.” What rules contribute to your state of mind? Do you have the locus of control? Or do you yield your control to the mass media, family, associates, frenemies, etc.?
“Your miraculous and marvelous, “Mind is a basic factor and governing power in and during your entire life.”
It goes without saying that it is wise for you to heed and pay close, “Attention to the dominant mental state,” you tend to reside in.
The grand, “Sum total to determine experiences and personal fate”, experienced and lived by you and through you.
In human beings, “Mental attitudes are adopted to life, events, and things.”
Therefore, it is of course, “Best to be optimistic in tone.”
When you are busy developing and enhancing the faculties of your mind, do give particular tender loving care to your Imagination.
“Expectation is a mindset that moves you into the vibration
that you have to be into to attract what it is you desire.” — Bob Proctor

“When you permit others to take on your responsibilities, you become dependent on them. This can lead to feelings of lack, limitation, resentment, and confusion for both the giver and receiver.” — Bob Proctor
“I believe people should study a little bit every day. It should become habitual, like brushing your teeth, combing your hair, having a shower, or getting dressed. Study the mind, the laws of the universe, and paradigms. There’s enough information on those subjects to keep a person studying forever.” — Bob Proctor
“Once you define exactly what your purpose is you won’t even have to try to figure out how to make money. The ideas will flow freely as if someone was whispering in your ear. Everything will come together beautifully.” — Bob Proctor

“Always remember, money is a servant; you are the master. Be very careful not to reverse that equation, because many people of high intelligence have already done so, to their great detriment. Unfortunately, many of these poor souls loved money and used people, which violated one of the most basic laws governing true financial success. You should always love people and use money, rather than the reverse!” — Bob Proctor
“To believe in the things you can see and touch is no belief at all. But to believe in the unseen is both a triumph and a blessing. — Bob Proctor

“Everything you are seeking is seeking you in return therefore, everything you want is already yours.” — Bob Proctor
“You can only move ahead by letting go of old ideas.” — Bob Proctor

From an email for Proctor Gallagher Institute:
Bob Proctor committed his entire life to one purpose … to reach one individual after another, assuring each and everyone that not only could they achieve greatness … but that greatness already lived within them.
He was a pioneer in the personal development space long before it was trendy to be a “coach”.
With passion and persistence over the course of 6 decades, he blazed a trail for millions of people and an entire industry to blossom into what it is today — a growing 38 billion dollar industry devoted to helping individuals live more enriching and fulfilling lives.
Growing at a rapid pace and with always more lives to impact — the question you should be asking yourself isn’t, ‘Can I be successful at this?’ … it’s ‘How big of a mark do I want to make?’, and ‘What am I willing to do to make it happen?”
The Proctor Gallagher Institute can show you how to walk in Bob’s footsteps, lean into his legacy to create your own, and have a thriving consulting business in the most fulfilling industry in the world.
To your success always,
