I want to take the calculated risk, to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to live from hand to mouth. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence, the thrill of fulfillment to the still calm of utopia. I would never call before a master nor been to any threat. It's my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid, the face of the world boldly and say, I did this, I did this, this is my dream. I'm talking because I ask them to ask themselves those questions and that's the answer. Well, what's meaningful?

Well, I have a meaningful relationship with my father. I have a meaningful relationship with my wife. When I commit to something and make sacrifices, you know, if something's valuable, you'll make sacrifices to attain it. That discovery of sacrifice, I think that's what separates human. It's one of the primary factors separating human beings from animals. Because we discovered that we could let go of something we value in the present and we would gain something we value even more in the future We acted that out dramatically in all sorts of strange ways over thousands and thousands of years before it was Formalizable psychologically, but it's a massive discovery

I can forego gratification in a particular way and benefit in the future so I can share the proceeds of my hunt and and I store up future food in the form of reputation and the favors I've owed, I'm owed now by other people. It's a massive discovery. A lot of us dream big. You should dream big. Dream big is important. You know, some of us want to be doctors, lawyers, dentists.

So you have this big dream. You can see it's so clear like it's right in front of you can go out and touch it. But the thing about it is somewhere you can dream big enough, Somewhere down that journey, that dream becomes a nightmare. And what happens in that nightmare, so they have all these questions. Like, you may start to fail tests. And all these questions start to flood your mind.

Why am I here? I'm not good enough. Trust me, I know all about the questions. They will flood your mind. If you do not have the answers for them, you will quit. The answers lie in the repetitions. You must not forget the repetitions you put into trying to dominate the crap that you're in the day. Always, always embrace the suck, adapt to suck.

Being on the cause to make yourself unstoppable, to get out of your mind the polluting negative thoughts that's causing most people to go through life being stuck because they're volunteer victims. Somebody said that many people died age 25 and don't get buried until they're 65 because they got so much garbage in their minds. Question is, what do you be?

Do you believe that you are worthy of happiness? Do you believe that happiness, success, abundance, comfort, fulfillment, peace, joy, love is a part of your birthright? Is that what you believe? Or do you believe something else? Because you will manifest the life that you believe successful people, whether they're taught it like we teach it, or they just know how to do it automatically, they do it.

They feel fear, and then they release that fear, and they take action anyway. So they can turn their fear into fuel is one of the things that we teach people how to do. Turn your fear into your fuel. And when you turn your fear into your fuel in a calm, centered way... The underlying presupposition there is that in our phenomenological landscape, so that's the world as we experience it, complete with emotions and motivations and dreams. So the full range of human experience, including the subjective and the objective, let's say, can broadly be broken into two domains.

And one is the domain of things that are beyond our grasp and reach, and that's the unknown. The unknown emerges, when the unknown emerges, you tend to experience anxiety. And then there's the known, and I define the known very specifically and very carefully. The known is the place you are when what you're doing produces the results you want. And I say want because that brings motivation and motion into the game. So you're motivated to pursue something. You pursue it and what you want happens. Not only can get what you want, but you get validation for the structure that governs your perceptions and your actions.

Here's what do it anyway has done for me. The idea that I just do it anyway has pushed me to realize and to recognize that there are a lot of moments where there are things in my life that I really want to do. I need to do. I should do. But when the moment comes, I don't feel like it. And so I pull out this idea of, you know what? I'm just going to do it anyway. It's raining outside. I said I would go for a short run. I don't feel like it. I'm going to do it anyway. It's 6 o'clock in the morning. I'm tired. It's cold. What do I do? I do it anyway. When you start to say to yourself, I'm going to do it anyway. What happens is something really cool. You acknowledge that there are feelings that you have that are trying to swoop in and hijack you. You acknowledge them and you basically. You acknowledge them and you basically,

say, guess what? I'm going to do it anyway. Well, we got to understand what's happening. You think on frequencies. Now, this has to do with goals. When you set a goal, you have to flip your brain onto the frequency that the good that you desire or that you need for that goal is there. So you, you, most people don't make the decision because they don't know how to get it. You don't have to know how to get it.

The will to do it. You're going to make the decision. You don't make the decision when you've got enough money or when you're going to get it. enough money or when you've got all the resources, you make the decision. When you make the decision, you flip your brain onto a higher frequency, and then you're on the frequency, you begin to attract everything on that frequency. That's your law of attraction from the same. I think that the people that are discovering how to unleash their greatness are people who have the mental resiliency and the courage to face failure, that you will fail your way to greatness.

that most people allow their fear of failure, 80% allow their fear of failure to outweigh their desire to succeed. When you're willing to fail again and again and again, when you make up your mind to become unstoppable, when you make up your mind to become a no matter what person, then that will then give birth to a part of yourself that you don't know right now. No one's coming back to help me. So it starts with that person in that mirror. You have to realize you are on your own now. And whatever else you believe in, I don't care what you believe in, but on earth is a very lonely journey.

And it starts with the accountability mirror, looking at saying, hey, all these things are coming back. I have to face myself. And you have to own all those things that people may have done to you. Now it's yours. You got to own it. It's yours now to fix the problems that people did to you. It makes no sense. It's not fair. I get it. But if you live in that what was me mentality of guess what? My dad did this to me. My mom just did to me. People who bullied did this to me. You're going to always live right there. You have to figure out ways to move forward because you're not coming back.

Indiscriminate. Only when your attention and involvement is indiscriminate, does the universe open up to you? Because life is happening because of its openness. This is a fundamental difference between death and life is. People are thinking it's just breath, all right, on one level. That is also openness. Whether you allow this to happen or you don't allow it to happen. Whether you did it consciously or unconsciously, but it's happening, isn't it? Openness is on every subatomic particle.

It's in communication with everything. That's why this is going on. Breath is happening. So much is happening in connection with everything. It is only in openness you're alive. As you close doors, you are dying in installments. If I live within my mind in a place of inadequacy, let's take one that's very common for people.

Like, I'm not enough somehow, right? Like, I'm not young enough, I'm not fast enough, I'm not pretty enough, I'm not thin enough, I'm not wealthy enough, whatever it is, I'm not good enough, then that becomes like this sort of linguistic prison that somebody lives with it. Now that is going to create frustration, dis-ease, the absence of ease, and then that cascades into the physicality. So the subtle level is the mind, and then that manifests in the body. Like, I am depressed. Like, again, it's inaccurate.

I know that's how they feel, but it's not who they are. And so I like to create separation so that you can sort of disentangle yourself from these deepest-seated beliefs of inadequacy in security and scarcity. So that's where for me most people are doing everything they can to obviously have a vital life to be well to be healthy But if you don't change the relationship you have with yourself and your subconscious and your mind It's all for now as far as I'm concerned like at best you're gonna get transitory relief You know you're basically becoming the best version of your limited self The problem with passion you know people gave me the same good advice do what you love Thank you thanks you know find your passion thank you like what I'm supposed to do is

that advice, you know? And what I learned is that passion like profit as a result. When we commit ourselves to some higher purpose, some higher cause, passion is the result. When we work hard for something we don't believe in, it's called stress. When we work hard for something we do believe in, it's called passion. Passion is not the entry point, it's at the exit point. So the question is not to find your passion or find the thing you're passionate about. The question is, what do you believe. The mission is what are your ideals, what are your values, and where are the places in which those people or those organizations share your values, share your beliefs? Who is articulating a vision of a world that you would like to live in? Push yourself in those

directions, be around those people, you know, align yourself with those organizations, and what you will find is you show up every day with passion. I'm not the type of guy who sits in my house meditating 24 hours a day and expect things to come to me. I'm a pragmatist. I'm a practical person. I'm going to take value and information. I'm going to apply it and see if I can gain more value from it. So the message is not to sit and meditate and just receive universal love and do nothing else. Because my message is to not disengage in life, but to fully engage in life. That's my message. The only way that you're going to overcome that stuff is to go all out every day knowing that it's going to take a long time.

But the only way that that dream is going to come true even over that long period of time is if you're going all out every day. So literally a mantra in my life and I can't, I cannot stress this enough. This is a cornerstone of why I've been able to achieve at the level that I've been able to achieve every day, everything I'm doing. I'm asking why can it be done faster? Why can't I accomplish more right now? That it's not okay to put something off even until tonight. I need to do it right now. Now, you need to get very good of prioritizing

because if you're trying to do everything right now, you're going to accomplish nothing. And if you're trying to be gimmicky or do shortcuts, all of that's going to fail because none of that is playing the long game. But if ever, you're allowing yourself to slow down because you simply are acknowledging that this, stuff takes time. I'm telling you it's never going to work. You've got to go all out. You've got to create momentum. Crossing that river of change from the old cell to the new self, there's

a neurological, biological, chemical, hormonal, a genetic death of the old self. But if you teach people there's something on the other side, they won't give up on themselves. Once they start getting beyond themselves and that magic starts to happen, then I have no idea I can't predict what's going to happen next and it's usually pretty exciting. I'll give you one because this one is profoundly impactful. You're more likely to believe something negative than you are something positive. Now think about how that can echo through your life. Each of us has to realize that all of the beliefs that we have in our life are choices.

The scary part about the most important beliefs in your life is most of them are invisible. No one's going to do anything for you. A couple rules of being a real leader. You need to take responsibility for your own life. Nobody owes you anything, but you owe other people everything. That's what a leader does. You take responsibility. You know exactly right now what you're not doing.

You know exactly what you're afraid of. You know exactly what you've been avoiding. And you've got to make a decision to change it. You know exactly what it is. Don't BS anybody. You know what you need to do different. You know the changes you need to make. And if you could do that, you stop kidding yourself, you can win.

You can overcome your fear, overcome procrastination, whatever that is. Complain all you want, vent all you want, you just aren't that. But at some point, you're going to have to stop feeding the monster and putting poison in your own mind. And you're going to have to teach yourself how to start to find milestones that are positive so that you can become healthier, so that you can change how you think. But most of us take the choice that makes us feel good. It means I want to check off every single box of all the possibilities of what I'm supposed to be in life. Leave nothing to question in my life.

What I think about internally, the thing that warms my soul, is I think about the people out there that are extraordinary. They could do something amazing with their lives, but they won't because they don't believe in themselves. Figure out what that thing is, that huge goal that you have, why you want it, because chances are that you're going to be able to do it in smaller ways along the way, if it makes you feel heavy, daunted and terrified to pursue it because you're obsessing over the end goal, it's some like traditional marker of success, money, a big company, whatever, and not how you want to help people, then it's just a matter of reframing. If, on the other hand, is because you think you're supposed to want that thing,

but you don't actually want it. And so the idea of pursuing it and all that you would have to do to get there is just horrifying to you, then yes, you've picked the wrong goal. Just remember, don't chase something because people have told you that you should want it. Literally just look at what gives you more energy than it takes. You need a pathway. You need to have a map and you need to know where you're located on the map and you need to know how you're moving forward.

And that gives you hope because you're moving towards goals that you regard as worthwhile. And it stops you from being anxious because you're not entirely directionless and loss. And so learning how to manage your time is useful. And you can start with a calendar. You can start with simple things like you can put in, well, when you're likely to go to bed and when you're likely to get up, and regulating that's useful. That should be relatively ritualistically consistent.

Nobody changes until they change their energy. And when you change your energy, you change your life. You just disconnected from the energy of your future. You've got to be greater than the conditions in your environment. You've got to maintain that state of being. You've got to be greater than the habits and emotions of your body. And you've got to sustain it for an extended period of time. So when you no longer are identifying with your body, your environment, and time,

that's the moment you're pure consciousness. So then if the brain can change, then the mind doesn't change the brain. Mind is the brain in action. It's consciousness that changes it. So when people begin to disengage and get beyond the brain. themselves, you are at your absolute best when you get beyond yourself. They reach that generous present moment where they just feel connected. It's all about the reasoning.

You can do anything you like, but it's why are you doing you? We have fat set points. We have financial set points. We have relationships set points. We have these set points that we become accustomed to achieving. And then all of the supporting evidence, stories, the themes, the plot lines, the perceptions and behaviors all must match. And so you can ask yourself two questions.

Number one is how did that set point get there and then how do I change it? So how it got there is through all of your condition. Through what you've read, what you've done, what you've experienced, been told, what you've seen, all of that has created based on your story. And so the first thing to recognize is the set point can be changed. And the question is how? What drives behavior more than anything else? It's not skill.

It's not knowledge. Skill and knowledge is potential power, but what does drive behavior more anything else is beliefs. And so if there is a belief in the brain that says, yes, you know, I think I'm capable of achieving double my income. There's another belief that opposes that, that causes what we know is neural dissonance. So it creates a chaotic vibration in the brain between the conscious and non-conscious mind. Now the key is to get alignment between the new goal, which is a conscious pattern of thought that you can choose in an instant and the non-conscious part of the brain around that goal.

Viewed myself as the weakest person on the planet Earth. My goal in life was to, in my mind, believe I'm the hardest man alive. And that's why the whole thing is can't hurt me. That's what it's about. about whatever you think you are you have to make that dream a reality but that's where the hard part is is making that dream reality so how do you develop a belief right so it's a pattern so if i gave you a sentence and you said that sentence one time you probably great to be a sentence like when i was like hearing a line in a song one time but if you heard a line in a song

repeatedly 20 30 40 50 times and you had other associations with that to reinforce that pattern, then you would start to develop a non-conscious pattern through that. So we know that using, let's say, visualization, you're actually bypassing the conscious mind and you're accessing the visual cortex of the brain. It's a non-conscious process, the visual processor. And so if we take words and we affirm them and we feel them and we visualize it and repeat them 100, 200,000,000,000 times, now we start to create a point. pattern at the non-conscious level that basically reinforces a conscious desire. Can't hurt me. I want people to have that mantra in their life. Take that with you. Take it.

Everywhere you go in life. If you believe that and you work towards that, callous in your mind, strengthen yourself. Can't hurt me as strong. But you say that enough to you. False motivation becomes real motivation after a while. The problem with all this is that when you do it habitually or when you complain as just a default mode and you don't realize how much you're doing it, you're allowing your mind to filter the world a certain way and you're allowing yourself to live in existence

where your own thoughts are poisonous. Life and society made this big world with all these endless possibilities. Inless possibilities. My life made my possibilities this big, because it made me afraid of all these different things. So all this stuff trapped my mind, it shackled my brain,

it made me a prisoner within my own self, saying this is all I can do. Because why? I'm afraid of this. I'm insecure over here. I got self-doubt over here. That behind me, good Lord, who knows what's behind me?

I'm like, look behind me. So your life is this big. Versus it being like I can do all this shit out. if I start to break down these, you know, these different walls and barriers, because I was afraid. But you overcome those fears, guess what happens? The whole world, you unlock this door and everything opens back up again. As long as we are on this planet, you're going through two things.

You're going through recovery and discovery. Recovery of our past. Recovery of what we're dealing with right now. and then discovery identity is a key because if we if we don't know who we are we're going to be chasing

our identity for our whole life and so I believe that when you find out where you came from who you are and what your purpose is you cannot be stopped and it's this whole idea of you've been born in a original don't I copy. But my challenge was, is that what my true identity was, was not true. For the next few minutes, I'm going to talk about you. I want you to just think about you

for a moment. I want you to think about your life. I want you to think about how you're living versus how you'd really like to live. When you set goals, when you have an intention on something that you want to change about your life, your brain helps you. What it does is it opens up a checklist. and then your brain goes to work trying to remind you. And I say that word purposefully, the skill of knowing how to hear that inner wisdom and that intention kicking in and leaning into it quickly. I could not undo these things. Isn't that why it's so difficult for you to make changes in your life?

Because you think that things can't be undone? The fact is any excuse that you come up with, you can undo. Tuition can be reimbursed, apartments can be leased, plan B can be invented. So I got up, I repacked that U-Haul, and I drove out of town. I let myself make a U-turn in life. Go out to aim at something. It's like otherwise your life is meaningless. Well, what should you aim at?

Well, I don't know. Well, pick something. Pick something. Aim at it. As you move toward it, you'll get wiser. Then maybe your aim won't change. That's okay. But at least it'll change in an informed way.

It's like discipline yourself in one dimension. See what happens. That's exciting. And I think that's something that's open for everyone. You can do that. I shouldn't say that because I don't believe that. I think you can find yourself in a situation that's so dire that you don't, there's no escape from it.

But that doesn't matter because this still, this is, the hero myth might not be, the best we have might not always work. but it's still the best we have. And the fact that it might not work doesn't mean we should throw it away. It's still the best we have. I mean, everyone dies, and so we fail in some sense.

The fact that the symphony ends doesn't mean that it wasn't worth listening to it. If you ever find your gut battling your head, save yourself the drama. I guarantee you your gut is right. Guarantee you your excuses can be undone. And I guarantee you you can make a U-turn in your life right now if you want to. Desire is there.

Again, it's about how do you go from knowledge to action? So the first thing in the story that's important is realizing that the answer was in me. And my mind was telling me pay attention. Because remember, your brain is wired to stop you from doing things that are uncomfortable or uncertain or scary. It's your job to learn how to move from those ideas that could change. everything into acting on it. Everyone visualizes whether he realizes it or not, visualization is one of the great secrets of success.

That's where we build a picture in our mind. When Van Gogh was asked, how do you do such beautiful work? He said, I dream my painting, and then I paint my dream. Well, that's the way it works. Solomon said, where there is no vision, the people will perish. That doesn't mean they're going to die. It means their results are going to get weaker and weaker and weaker and weaker and they're just not going to be making it happen the way they want to. Everyone visualizes, whether he realizes or not, visualization is a great secret and success.

And it intensifies your wisdom and enables you to make use of advantages you formerly failed to recognize. I think, you know, everything starts with a thought. I mean, everything that you do in your life, you have to have a thought before you initiate. initiate an action, right? So if you believe that your thoughts have something to do with your destiny, like any great leader in history understands that, the first thing you have to do is you have to decide are you going to be defined by a vision of the future or are you going to live by the memories of the past? You know, it's harsh that the rewards of life are indiscriminately distributed, but it doesn't help. It doesn't help to become bitter. Most people wake up in the morning and your brain is a record of the past. It's an artifact of everything you've learned and experienced to this moment, right?

It's a memory bank. So most people wake up in the morning and they start thinking about their problems and those problems are connected to certain people and things at certain times and places. And the moment they start turning on those circuits, those memories are actually causing them to think in the past. Every single one of those memories has an emotion associated with them, and emotions are the end product of past experiences. So then the moment they recall the event or they recall some problem in their life,

they start feeling unhappy, they start feeling discouraged, they start feeling anxious. Now thoughts are the language of the brain and feelings of the language of the body and how you think and how you feel creates your state of being. So we could say that. Most people's entire state of being when they start for days in the familiar past. Well, if you live in the familiar past, then it makes sense you're going to be. create the predictable future.

There isn't a better way to live your life. There's no right way and wrong way. There is only the way that gives you more energy. There is only the way that gives you fulfillment. When you have those things, when you're fulfilled by what you're doing and it's giving you the heart of you pursue it, it's giving you more energy,

you're on the right path. As the Greeks would say, say laodromo, which means you're on a good road. And that's what I want people to understand. But I don't think that it is a universal path. And so the only universal path is to do the things that give you fulfillment and energy. So if spending time with your friends gives you that, then you should be spending more time with your friends.

If dating gives you that, then you should be dating. So you don't need to want to be the best in the world of something. You don't need to want to make a lot of money. You don't need to want to be an entrepreneur. Like they're literally just stand-ins, they're proxies for fulfillment and energy creation. That's it. So those are the punchlines of what's the meaning of it. life and all of that stuff. It is to do something that makes you feel a deep sense of well-being,

which I'll call fulfillment, and something that gives you energy where you're literally excited to attack the day. I start with identities because I think that's the root of all our challenges. It's starting at the root, not starting at the symptoms or the superficial or the surface level, but let's go to the root. If you're playing a role, if you're wearing a mask, If you're dressed in clothes that are not yours, then you end up living a life that's not yours. Because guess what? When you fake being someone for so long,

you think it's your reality. And that's what happens to all of us. We play a role at work. We play a role at home. We play a role with our family. Play a role in our friends. And then we think that role is us. And we lose ourselves.

And to me, that is the core reason why we're chasing things that are not important to us. A lot of you that are running from things instead of running to things. And that's a huge difference, running from something versus running to something. And so I want you to think about that for a minute because you don't have to move across country to change your life. And you don't have to do something drastic to experience drastic positive change. And here's the thing about running away. from your problems, running away from your past.

Have you ever noticed that when you run away, it tends to follow you? All we have, which everybody talks about, is this moment, this precious second right now. So the more I could be here right now, the more I'm living, you know, the life that I want to live. Too much about the future. too much about the past that can use those as something to you know hope for in the future as a guiding post from the past

But right now is the moment that every one of us has I never really aspired to happen because happy is usually determined by external factors I go for the joy because when you have joy at home when you have joy inside it don't matter much what's going on out here You understand you got your joy and you can come home to your joy no matter what is going on in the world. Far too many of us have our happiness, our peace, our joy, our value, our worth, hooked into some external stimulation. And then we wonder why we're stressed out and overweight and can't sleep.

You have those scars in your brain from life. But what we don't do is we try to hide those scars. We don't want to go back and revisit it. So I started realizing that my life was causing a whole bunch of scar right on my brain. And I had to go back and really break open that scar and let it bleed. And that was a very painful journey for me to go back. Who are you letting ruin your dreams? What scorecard are you judging yourself by? Screw that. This is your time. This is your opportunity. This new world that we live in with access like you listening to me right now. Access to so much knowledge. We have

access to information. This is your time. There's no better time. There's no different time. There's no different This is your time. It'll happen is if you change the story in your head, if you say, change the scorecard, change your desires, find your passion. When people tell you stop dreaming, tell them, I'm sorry, you gave up on yours. I'm not quite there yet. That's the response you need to share.

Every day I'm winning. Every day I'm winning the other voice in my head. So I'm very, I'm at peace of myself. The things I do for fun, fun or like me bettering myself. But I also love accomplishing and overcoming myself every day. Because every day is a battle. Every day is a battle because your mind wants to choose the path of least resistance.

Every day. But you don't become better by ever doing that. You become normal. And I don't want to be normal. So it may not be a life for everybody, but I find a lot of peace and not being normal in my life. Those are just dreams and they ultimately fuel disappointment. Goals on the road to achievement cannot be achieved without discipline and consistency. As Shakespeare noted, there is nothing good or bad that thinking makes it so.

There's nothing good or bad, right? There's just stimulus and then there's response. But people think that it is objectively a certain way. So now because they think it is in objectively a certain way they feel they are supposed to react based on those emotions that are getting kicked up in their mind If you want to always be moving towards your goal, you want to be optimized, you've got to learn to get control of your emotions You've got to learn to understand to tell yourself a narrative that isn't predicated on necessarily identifying what is objectively true Because I don't think that we experience the world that way. It's identifying what's going to work to get me to my goal Your joy your sadness your happiness your

is determined by something or somebody around you. The chances of you being joyful in your life is remote. Is it true that human experience, joy or misery, agony or ecstasy, madness or sanity, everything is created from inside? At least if you're a manager, if you're going to be a manager, at least what is happening from within you must happen your way. Because essentially management means having situations the way we want to

it? Yes? Management based what? Having situations the way we want it. Well, if the world is not happening your way, at least this one must be happening your way. Otherwise, what kind of management is this? I want to convince you that the human brain is a naturally creative instrument. It is designed for making connections between ideas, for envisioning DEF,

and beyond. It wants to go in that direction. Creativity is not a function of some freakish genetic wiring that occurs in the brains of a few people. It is instead the function of awakening and exploiting the natural creative energy we all possess. Well, highly creative people have both. They have the knowledge and the experience plus the mental fluidity, which gives them the ability to see more possibilities in the world around them and to maximize, to realize to its fullest, the natural connecting power of the human brain. You know, it's really identifying who someone is at their core, and starting from that place, it can be really confusing. I think it's always a discovery process, but I think we have to define moments in our life.

You know, that's kind of a helpful framework, is to figure out what are the times in our life when we felt completely connected and in the moment? When did we feel like we were rooted in what I would call a spiritual experience? That wasn't outcome-based. That wasn't based upon making a bunch of money, but was based about being in this beautiful moment and going, gosh, I'm exactly where I need to be and this is who I am. So I find it's helpful for people to first figure out one of those moments. And that starts to create a framework for someone realizing, okay, those moments, I can kind of describe the way out.

Is it terribly obvious to me what you are working on, what skills you're trying to develop, what projects you're trying to complete, to stretch yourself, to grow yourself? Or is every day another reaction day? Because listen, if every day is another reaction day, you are in a fixed mindset. Write it down. If every day is another reaction day, you're in a fixed mindset. mindset. You stopped believing in big projects that would require you to schedule stuff out. You stopped thinking, what skills must I master to grow? Because you're just trying to handle all

the problems. Remember, you're stuck in one signal of problems. Challenges are what really grow us. You know, your life is a great story. You know, every person's life is a story. The question is some people's story is a warning. Some people's story is an example. Right now, you're an example that's growing and expanding, and you have a chance to have this be the most incredible life, but it won't be a life without challenge, and the challenges we're facing right now give you an opportunity to grow like very few generations. If you watch a great movie, if you read a great book, you know, the size and the power of the hero, how much you become as a hero is defined by how tough an obstacle you face, how difficult is the villain, the opponent. And so sometimes

when I've been to the toughest times in my life, one of the questions I've had to ask myself are to myself this, ah, I finally have a really worthy opponent. This is scaring the hell out of me. This is challenging me. This is making me crazy. But I also know I'm like got into my soul that if I can push through it, just like you've done in these years.

You push through tough times, I'm sure of many of them. But as you push through those, you become more. As you become more, something magical happens. You don't just grow to be in your skill. And all of a sudden, fear becomes less and less a part of you. If you're going to be uncomfortable, your reward has to be big.

So if you're going to be making a change, ask yourself, why is what I want to achieve so important to me? Why am I willing to use my new willpower and persistence? And why am I willing to go through the discomfort of change? Why am I willing to listen to the negative talk that I have or the emotion that I have and still do it anyway? And if you don't have a big enough reason,

the first time you have a chance for an excuse, you'll take it. Or they say, you know what, I'm not happy my relationship. And two weeks later, they're back with the same person, or they find another person just like the one that they left. Or people are afraid to leave their jobs because they don't like the discomfort of change. Well, the only certain thing in the universe,

the only constant is change. everything that's the only constant in either of it's an oxymoron. It's like how can change be the only constant, the only stable thing? Because everything's changing. So why not acquire the skill to be comfortable and change? The meaning that I give, remember I said you have to reframe things? The meaning I give things now is when I'm uncomfortable, I'm changing and I'm growing. And then so we go through these ways of comfort and change, comfort and change, and change,

And that's just like the waves of life. The moment of willingness and the moment of trust in the universe. Like people talk about rock bottom. I mean, that's just a moment. You know, like you could always go lower. To me, a rock bottom is a moment of being spiritually deflated, defeated, essentially hating your life. And it can always go a bit lower. But there's always a window.

I feel like the universe, from my experience, creates a window if you do want to change. If you do want help, a window is created. Now, it may not be the window you want, and it may not be the fabulous drapes that you want to open up. But there'll be a window, because all of a sudden your mindset is believing

there's a window, and it believes that you can change. And I just think there's always that opening. Courage comes from, courage means to take heart. It's an awareness that life is on your side, that love always wins, that peace always wins, that joy always wins, because the higher frequencies are way more powerful than hate and disinterest and resentment in animosity and pseudo-control, a false authority. Love always wins in the universal scheme of things. So with that, we take

heart. We have a level of courage, and we have to have the courage to opt out of the old the paradigm. You have to ask yourself on a regular basis, what am I doing as I'm opting out of the old? What am I doing?
