1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,960 Speaker 1: Maybe you're not burnt out because you're doing too much. 2 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Maybe feel burnt out because you're doing too little of 3 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: the things that make you feel alive. That the things 4 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: I really liked you up. Everyone. Welcome back to On Purpose, 5 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,159 Speaker 1: the number one health podcast in the world. Thanks to 6 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: each and every single one of you that come back 7 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: every week to listen, learn, and grow. Now, I know 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: that you're here because you want to be happy, you 9 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: want to be healthy, and you want to heal. I 10 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: think that's why I'm here too. When I sit down 11 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: with a guest, that's what I'm hoping to do. I'm 12 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 1: hoping to find moments of happiness, moments of health advice, 13 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,639 Speaker 1: and moments of healing. But one of the things I've 14 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: been discovering lately that I want to let you in 15 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: on is when I'm doing these interviews, some of the 16 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: guests that I'm speaking to have phenomenal journeys and stories, 17 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: but some of them also I get the opportunity to 18 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: co create with. I want to discover new ideas while 19 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: we're in the podcast. I want to find new insights 20 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: that we never even considered before. I want to take 21 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: a moment to really see if we can let down 22 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 1: our guard, let go of what we know, and maybe 23 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: go into the unknown in a conversation. And today's guest 24 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,479 Speaker 1: is someone who's going to allow us to do just that. 25 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: He is the foremost brain coach. He's an incredible author 26 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: and an amazing podcast. My dear friend Jim Quick, the 27 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: author of Limitless. If you don't have this book, it 28 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: is a phenomenal read. I highly recommend it. And the 29 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: first time Jim came on the podcast, the book wasn't 30 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: out yet, so I couldn't tell you about it, but 31 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: I really hope that you will check it out. Jim, 32 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: Welcome back to On Purpose. It's so great to have 33 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: you here. When we first did this, and I want 34 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: everyone to know this. When we first launched the podcast, 35 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: you were I think you were one of the guests 36 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: within our first six months. You were in my apartment 37 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: where we used to shoot, and it was so kind 38 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: and gracious of you to come on. We were just 39 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: starting out, we were just figuring out what on Purpose 40 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: was and you supported us and it means the world 41 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: to me. So I'll never forget that. But I love 42 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: we were chatting offline before, which I loved, and we 43 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: were talking about how we wanted this conversation to be special. 44 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what you asked me. How do I 45 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: make this conversation and special? How do make it different? 46 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: And that's where this idea came from. Is when we're 47 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: sitting with someone, it's like, how can we go back 48 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 1: and forth? And you know, it sparked something new, but 49 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: you asked me something and that's where I kind of 50 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: want to start because it's kind of hopefully going to 51 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: lead us down a random path, which I love. And 52 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: I'll tell you the story. So I called up someone 53 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: the other day and it's someone in my world, and 54 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: I said to them, I have this idea and I 55 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: really want to do this. I think it would be amazing. 56 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: And the first thing they said to me was, Jay, 57 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: those things don't usually happen, right, That's not really possible, 58 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: Like that's not like the most probable likely thing that 59 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: we could make happen for you. Now, when I hear 60 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: those kind of things, and we're talking about limitless and limitations. 61 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: When I hear a limitation like that, my mind goes 62 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: to the fact that it's never been done, is why 63 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: I want to do it. Like that's what attracted to 64 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: me in the first place. If it was already done, 65 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: then why would I want to do it again? And 66 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: so I wanted to start there with you and go, 67 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: how do we know if a limitation is real or not? Like, 68 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: how do you know? Because we all have limitations. I 69 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: love this conversation. I think the majority of limits are learned, 70 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 1: and I could give you stories and anecdotes around that 71 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: and some research. I think my purpose in life because 72 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: I was labeled limited in a way. We talked about 73 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: this when I was on your show earlier about having 74 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: my traumatic brain injury and being labeled the boy with 75 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: the broken brain and my learning difficulties. I want to 76 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: offer real hope and real help to those who are 77 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: told they were harbor limited in some way, you know. 78 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: And I really don't believe that this guy's a limit. 79 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: I believe our minds are the limit. There are all 80 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: kinds of examples every day that when we change our mindset, 81 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: some kind of form of our motivation or the methods 82 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: we're using, that we could do things, that we could 83 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: redraw our the borders and boundaries of what's possible. Yeah, 84 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: and then you exemplify that, you would embody this idea 85 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: of becoming more limitless. Well, I think it was for 86 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: me too, and thank you for saying that, but I 87 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: think it was the same thing for me where I 88 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: had also subscribed to the limits I thought society placed 89 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: on me. And when you start to break one limit 90 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: and you see this like light shining through a crack 91 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, like this limit can actually be broken, 92 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: you then start thinking, well, how many limits can we break? Right? Like, 93 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: That's where I'm at right now. But I wasn't always 94 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: like that. I think it's important to talk about that. 95 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: There was a time in my life where I was 96 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: living in the rules, within the barriers, and now I'm 97 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: at a place in my life where I'm like, well, 98 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: which barriers can we push? And that journey for me 99 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: has been an exciting one and a fun one. Tell me, now, 100 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: what do you think is the difference between open mindedness 101 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: like believing in the limitless versus delusion? Because there's also 102 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: a fine on that side as well, like is there 103 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: a line of how have you thought about that? And 104 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: even if we don't have an on so I want 105 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: to figure that out with you. Yeah, let's do it. Yeah, 106 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: I think behind antenna kind of results in our life, 107 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: we need to do a behavior, new behavior or a 108 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: new set of behaviors. I think in order to be 109 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: able to execute that behavior, we need a mindset or 110 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: a belief that allows that to be possible. The one 111 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: that's very famous Roger Banister in nineteen fifties who broke 112 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: the four minute a mile And what happened after that? Right, 113 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: other people started breaking in and there weren't big advancements 114 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 1: and shoo technology, nutritional support, training methodologies, but there was 115 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: a change in belief about what was possible because it 116 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: wasn't a real limit. And so even when people are training, 117 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: he wasn't this delusional. I don't think just because if 118 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: you believe it, it it doesn't mean it's going to happen. 119 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: But I feel like if we don't believe it, it 120 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: dramatically recruits reduces the chance to be happening, you know, 121 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: because act accordingly. Yeah, you know, And so many people 122 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: and they're shrinking what's possible to hit their minds, And 123 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: I would always say, what if we did the opposite, 124 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: What if we expanded our minds in this situation to 125 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: fit more what's really possible? Yeah, yeah, I think that's 126 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: a great, great answer. You're so right, it's it's fascinating 127 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: how everything is just a thought. I was talking to 128 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: a couple of friends a couple of nights ago, and 129 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: I was talking to him about the Honeya surgery that 130 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: I just went through, and he was saying to me, like, 131 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 1: how tough was it? And I had a tough version 132 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: of it. We were just talking about it. Some people 133 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: wake up and in the next twenty four hours they're fine. 134 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: It's taken me four weeks to feel fifty percent again, 135 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: right like that that's how I feel, maybe fifty sixty 136 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: percent again. And I know people have gone through for 137 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: twelve months, right, They're yeah, people are still going through it. 138 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: And so he said to me, he was just like, 139 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: do you, like, how did you not let yourself get depressed? 140 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: Because like the first week I couldn't walk and I 141 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: had something called a telectusis, which is like a partial 142 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: collapse of the lung, so I couldn't breathe every three 143 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: breaths almost and then my wife Freshmandior Hospital to er 144 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: like one morning at three am because they thought am 145 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: I had blood clots and I didn't, thankfully, And then 146 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: the second week when I started to walk, it was 147 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: still like on and off pain. It was very uncertain. 148 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: I then ended up getting back pain because I was 149 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: on my back for so long. I couldn't lie on 150 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: either side because I had it on both sides, and 151 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: so then my back was like So I was waking 152 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: up at three am every day for three weeks because 153 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: I couldn't sleep anymore because my back was hurting. So 154 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: I was walking around at three am. I couldn't sit 155 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: to meditate. I was doing walking meditations. And he was like, 156 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: how did you not get depressed during that time? And 157 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: I said to him that for me, it was the 158 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: power of my mind, and it was a story. It 159 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: was like I'd lost the strength in my body for sure, 160 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: But I kept repeating to myself, I'm happy, I'm healthy, 161 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: I'm healing. I'm happy, I'm healthy, I'm healing. And what 162 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: I was saying to me, it's not that because I 163 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: said that I was happy, healthy and healing. It's that 164 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: I had a choice of a thought, which is what 165 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: you're saying, belief that I could have either believed I'm sad, 166 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: I'm hurting and it's all over, or I'm happy, I'm 167 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: healthy and i'm healing. And as just as you said, 168 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: it's not that that belief or that thought made me better, 169 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: but it's just that if I didn't have that thought, 170 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: it would have been way harder to get through that pain. 171 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: And so I love that to see that in practice 172 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: what you just said for me was huge. You know, 173 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,119 Speaker 1: in Limited Lists, I talked about seven lies to learning, 174 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: because my wheelhouse is teaching celebrated learning. Teach me able 175 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: to read faster or learned languages, or oarn people's names 176 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: and prove their memory, focus and lie for me as 177 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,719 Speaker 1: stands for a limited idea entertained, limited idea entertained. It's 178 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: so good. It's getting us to self reflect on you know, 179 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: is it really that you're too old or you're not 180 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: smart enough. People come to me at events after they 181 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 1: see me do these memory demonstrations or maybe I'll remember 182 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 1: people's names or do something, and they'll say, Jim, I'm 183 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: just not smart enough. I have a horrible memory. And 184 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: I always say stop. If you fight for your limitations, 185 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: you get to keep them. I peer limits, they're yours, 186 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: and often we don't know that. You know the power 187 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: of our mind. You know, it's I mentioned this last time, 188 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: but it's like your brain is this incredible supercomputer and 189 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 1: yourself talk your thoughts on the program that will run. 190 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: So tell yourself, I'm not good at remembering people's names. 191 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: You will remember the name of the next person to 192 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: may because you program are supercomputer, not too so. How 193 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: do you transcend these lies? How do you end the trance? 194 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: Because these live, these were learned right, this idea that 195 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: genius is born this side, this idea that we're only using, 196 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: you know, a small fraction of our brain ten percent 197 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: or something like that, and you can unravel these lies. 198 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: There's and you mentioned the very key word. I put 199 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: a quote in the book from a French philosopher and 200 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: he says, a life is the C between B and D. 201 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: Life is a letter C between B and D. B 202 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: stands for birth, d stands for death. Life C. And 203 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: you said a choice that I really do believe that 204 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: our lives are some total of all the choices we've 205 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: made up to this point. You know, what are we 206 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: gonna eat? What are we can feed our minds to 207 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: spend time with? Where are we going to live? You know? 208 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: What are we going to believe? Yeah? What are we 209 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: going to think and say to ourselves on a regular basis? 210 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: And I believe that these difficult times they can diminish us, 211 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: these difficult times they could distract us, which a lot 212 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: of people feel distracted, or these difficult times they can 213 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: develop us. Yeah, Ultimately we always decide. So the power 214 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: of choice. You may you made the choice in terms 215 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: of what you choose to be able to believe, and 216 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: with that choice, you know, comes a lot of responsibility, 217 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: and with that responsibility comes a lot of power. I 218 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: love what you clarified there though, because the choice can 219 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: be harder, Like I didn't go through a life threatening surgery. 220 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: If someone went through that, it's the choice becomes harder 221 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: and harder to make if your stakes are higher and higher. 222 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: But the choice brings power with there, and and so 223 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: it's like we need that power to come with it, right, Like, 224 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: and that's what you're making clear for us. I'm one 225 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: of the things that I'm thinking about when we're talking 226 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: about limitations. Limitations almost make us feel safe. I think 227 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,079 Speaker 1: people don't often connect the two, but they do. Like, 228 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: if you aim low, chances are you'll get there, and 229 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: so you won't experience disappointment. Right if you place a 230 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: limitation on yourself and say, well, I can't do that. 231 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 1: Then when you can't do it, it doesn't it makes 232 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: you feel good like, oh, at least I knew in 233 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: your validating and you're validated exactly. It's that you're looking 234 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: for that. So, how is a feeling that makes us 235 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: feel safe? Actually sometimes the thing that's blocking us from 236 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: feeling great? Yeah, I think a lot of us will 237 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: want to you know, where our nervous system is not 238 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: necessarily set up for growth. I think in the beginning 239 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: it is until we've had some kind of pain or trauma. 240 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 1: Then then we want to be able to survive and 241 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: keep ourselves safe. There's this idea that, let's say negativity 242 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: or pessimists are accurate more because maybe they set that 243 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: standard or that belief a little bit more achievable, but 244 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: optimists maybe aren't succeed more because of it because they 245 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: have that kind of moonshot idea or there thinking the 246 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: brain really wants to keep you, keep you alive, right, 247 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: and it doesn't want to change. Takes effort, It takes 248 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: energy to be able to achieve their goals. You know. 249 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: There's this thing I saw on Twitter the other day 250 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 1: saying life is hard for one of two reasons. Either 251 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: because you're leaving your comfort zone, life could be very hard, 252 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: or because you're staying in your comfort zone. If people 253 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: thought about change, which ultimately you know, most people want 254 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: if they're healthy some area of their life, relationships, health 255 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: career or something, and they're looking outside and they want 256 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: to achieve something else, it's a lot safer to be 257 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: able to say to keep something realistic without a doubt. 258 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: And I'm like that way also, Yeah, of course, you know, 259 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: in terms of my book deadlines, what would becoming realistic? 260 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: Is even possible to get it done in X amount 261 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,839 Speaker 1: of time? And I also find that part of kinting 262 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: results is reaching and then you know and then stable, 263 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: like you stretch and then you stabilize, and then you 264 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: stretch and you stay. We can't be I don't feel 265 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: like we could be stretching all the time that you 266 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: could reach, reach, reach, but you have to recover. We 267 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: have to replenish, you have to you have to be 268 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: able to rest also as well. Yeah, I'm trying. I'm 269 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: trying to add to that because I know we both 270 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: like a literation, but it's like stretch, stabilize, and then forego. 271 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: Like there's also what's a sacrifice. I guess like, but 272 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: in a positive sense, surrender, Yeah, because I found that 273 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: I definitely am shocked at my capacity with the amount 274 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: of things I do today that I didn't know wherever possible. 275 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: So if someone told me ten years ago, Jay, one day, 276 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: you're going to do this, this, this, this, this, I 277 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: would have said, no way, I can just do one thing. 278 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 1: And we did exactly what you said. So every year, 279 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: I would stretch myself every year. And you're right, you 280 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: can't just stretch, stred, stret stred, stretch every month. But 281 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: every year I'd add one thing. So like, first we 282 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 1: started creating videos, and then after we started creating videos, 283 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: we did the podcast, and then we did the podcast, 284 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: we did our courses in programming, and then we did 285 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: our then I wrote my book and then after that, 286 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: you know, so we stretched ourself a little, and I 287 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: stretched myself a little every year, but then we stabilized. 288 00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: But I've also found that I've also had to let 289 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: go of something, sacrifice, some things that once upon a 290 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: time we're really important to me, but today they're not 291 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: as important. And in order to stretch and stabilize, I 292 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: had to learn a sacrifice too, And I think that's 293 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: something we struggle with, Like, I think one of our 294 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: biggest limitations is wanting to hold on to stuff. Yeah, right, 295 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: Like it's like there's no space to shift away and 296 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: hold on to something else. If we're holding onto this. 297 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: If I'm like no, no, no no, I want this to 298 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: be there for the rest of my life, I'm missing out. 299 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: Like what about that kind of limitation where it's not 300 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: a limitation that I think about myself, it's actually a 301 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: limitation because I want something to be there, If that 302 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: makes sense. There is when we're talking about change or 303 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: even transformation. The symbol for me is that of a 304 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: like many people, butterfly, and while the beauty is in 305 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: the butterfly, the growth is happening usually in that cocoon 306 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: and that crystalists. And it's one of those things where 307 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: there's a story where there's this kid in the backyard 308 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: when his parents are in the house and he comes 309 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: across a caterpillar and he he doesn't allowed any pets, 310 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: but he wanted to make this caterpillar his pet. So 311 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: he runs in talks to his parents saying, kind of 312 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: keep it, kind of keep it, and the mother says, yes, 313 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: but you have to take care of it. You have 314 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: to be able to feed it and everything. And she 315 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: gives him a mason jar, puts a little hole in it, 316 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: and then he goes there and he opens it up 317 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: and he puts like leaves in there for the for 318 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: the caterpillar to eat, and a little tree branch for 319 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: it to climb. And then and one day, as you 320 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: can imagine, it spends this cocoon. And you know, the 321 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: boy is enthralled, it is bewildered at this process of life. 322 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: And but he gets a little impatient because he knows 323 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: what's coming right, that it's going to emerge as a butterfly. 324 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: And then one day, lo and behold, there's you could 325 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: see a little crack open up. And he gets impatient 326 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: because he's taking too long. So he runs inside his 327 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: house and he grabs scissors and he walks back outside 328 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: because he knows else was to run with those scissors. 329 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: But he clipped sit that whole open to be able 330 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: to allow it to be able to get free. But 331 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: an interesting thing happened when this creature came out. It 332 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: didn't look like a butterfly. Kind of looked like a butterfly, 333 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: but it didn't really The wings are very shriveled. The 334 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: body was very swollen, and it didn't fly, you know, 335 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: this thing he was looking forward to. And he cries 336 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: to his parents, and the parents asked what happened, and 337 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: he was explaining how he cut it open, and they 338 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: explained to him because he was trying to make it 339 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: easy for that creature, that that creature didn't have to 340 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: develop the strength, right And actually when it pushes through 341 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: that hole is when it takes the fluids inside of 342 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: its body and it nourishes and goes out to the wings, 343 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: and then it can become that butterfly and sword in 344 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: New Heights. And I guess I bring this up because 345 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: I feel like even the past few years, people feel 346 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: like maybe they were cocooning, you know, and they were 347 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: in this place and they were alone, alone with their thoughts, 348 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: alone with you know, their fears. It might be even 349 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: feeling alone. And you and I have talked to many 350 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: conversations about mental health and how you know, how our 351 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: brain health is affecting our mental health. And I would 352 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: say that through struggles sometimes there is their strength. You know. 353 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: My my struggles growing up were learning it was public speaking, 354 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: you know, you know, life has a sense of humoricus. 355 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: That's all I do is public speak on this thing 356 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: called learning. But you know, disadvantage within the word disadvantage. 357 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: There's that word advantage, right, And I always feel like 358 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 1: there's some kind of advantage within within every disadvantage. Yeah, yeah, 359 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: And it's hard to it's hard to see that when 360 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: you're in it, when you're inside the jar. Yeah, inside 361 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: the cocoon. It's so hard to see it. But I 362 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: think looking back at previous cocoons and seeing how you 363 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 1: emerged is often the best bet you have. It's almost like, 364 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: I know, I remember when I was at school, I'd 365 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: always be like, well, last year I did well in 366 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: my exams, how do I do well this year? Let 367 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: me remember what I did last year. And that's a 368 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: very small example. But even now, it's like when I 369 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: went through this surgery. The last surgery I had was 370 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: when I lost my voice and I polyps in my throat, 371 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: which was around ten years ago, and so for like 372 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: I remember at that time, for months on end, I 373 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: was drinking out of a straw and like I couldn't 374 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: speak and had a white board where I would write 375 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: things to my parents and my sister and my mom 376 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: who were taking care of me, and I was like, Okay, 377 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: well I got through that surgery, Like what mindset did 378 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: I need? Like what can I do now? Or what 379 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: did I not do that time that I should get 380 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: right now? And so I find like reflectionists such a 381 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: great tool to overcome limitations, and I think reflecting on 382 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: your own life and this is the part that I 383 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: think I want to I want to talk about this 384 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: with you because I don't know the answer and I 385 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: don't think we've talked about this before, but we get 386 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: so fascinated reflecting on other people's lives. Right, what is 387 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: the news? What is pop culture news? What is mainstream 388 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: media doing? You're spending your whole day reflecting on someone 389 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: else's life. So and so cheated on someone, So and 390 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: so messed up the world record, like didn't make it, 391 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: so and so like you know, they they fell off 392 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: stage when they were performing their song or whatever it is. Right, Like, 393 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: there's there's like this negative reflection on everyone else's life, 394 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 1: but rarely do we cave out the time to reflect 395 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: on our own life. Why do you think that is? 396 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 1: And where does that come from? And I just want 397 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: to hear your thoughts on that because Reflection is something 398 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: we all know how to do, we just don't necessarily 399 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: do it inward. I think it could be an incredible 400 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: advantage also reflection. I mean when you reflect on something, 401 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: you're harnessing the power of your memory. And you know, 402 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: as the memory coach, you know, I feel like it's 403 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: not just remembering facts and figures and foreign languages or 404 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: speeches or things that can make you more productive in 405 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: your performance. It's also reflecting and remembering the things that 406 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: give you confidence and certainty moving moving forward. That reflection 407 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,120 Speaker 1: can be a superpower that hindsight could lead to foresight. 408 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: So many people forget about their winds, you know, they 409 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: forget sometimes other things that they overcame, you know. And 410 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: so many people are scared of you know, someone watching 411 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 1: this or listening to right now, it could be afraid 412 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: of making a mistake and looking bad. You know. I 413 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: always tell people, well, if you make a mistake, you 414 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: make it old whole l D and everything's inaccreative. Oh 415 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: is you own it? You know, we don't put it 416 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: outside of ourselves. We don't become a victim. We apologize 417 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: that we hurt somebody, We fix it if we can. 418 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: We take responsibility for it because that allows us to 419 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: be able to make it better. The l is you 420 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: learn from it, and that's why we make mistakes, right 421 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: there are stepping stones to make us a better person 422 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: if we learn from it that there's maybe there's no failure, 423 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: maybe there's feedback, or maybe there's no you know, you're 424 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 1: not failing, maybe just failing to learn something, and so 425 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: you want to be able to do that. But then 426 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: the d is really where it lands. The das don't 427 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: repeat it because so many people could learn in the moment, 428 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 1: But then they repeat it. They they repeat that mistake 429 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: in their relationships or in their dating life. They repeat it. 430 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: They forget what that junk food made them feel like, 431 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 1: you know afterwards, or staying up late at night, yeah, 432 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: you know, in terms of the rule in their sleep 433 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: and darning their peace of mind the next day. So 434 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: don't repeat it, because you know, insanity doing the same 435 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: thing over and over again expecting different result. And sometimes 436 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 1: it's not insanity. Maybe sometimes it's just not managing or memory, 437 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 1: you know, and remembering that those moments the hindsight where 438 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: we've made you know, we're like everyone right now can 439 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: imagine a time where they felt like they couldn't survive, 440 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: you know, that they couldn't go any further. And the 441 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: truth is, if they're listening to this, they did. They 442 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: did survive it, you know, and to be able to 443 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: acknowledge it. Part of self cares and self love is 444 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 1: looking at that person in the mirror and you know 445 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: that person has been through so much, but but it's 446 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 1: still standing, you know, and reflecting on that in terms 447 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: of how far we've come.

What I mean by that 490 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: is we all know that there's a song from our 491 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: past that it clicks on and almost all of a sudden, 492 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: you're feeling nostalgia and you're like remembering that moment when 493 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: you're at college or whatever it was, or right you 494 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: can go back to that place. So memory works in 495 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: that way. But memory also works in the opposite way. 496 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: Like I was thinking to myself that, you know, just 497 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, I couldn't walk and I was 498 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: walking really slowly. I was like, really dealing with the pain. 499 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I never you know, I want 500 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: to be so mindful. And then as soon as you 501 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: start to feel better, it's so easy to just forget 502 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: all of that and just start walking normally again and 503 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 1: being not mindful. And it's almost like that where it's 504 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: like pain makes you really present and conscious and there, 505 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,919 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, when pain goes away, 506 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 1: you're not present anymore and you kind of just get 507 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: on with your life. And so I find it weird 508 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: that sometimes our memory is so strong and sometimes it's 509 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: so weak also when people have had a really painful 510 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: trauma in the past, that pain stays with us and 511 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: that we almost don't let go of enough. But then 512 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,439 Speaker 1: sometimes when we've had certain pains, we let them go 513 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 1: too quick. It's it's almost like how long pain stays 514 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: with you is all pleasure stays with you? Is such 515 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 1: a weird concept. And I guess what you're saying is 516 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: that there are certain types of pain that we have 517 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: to learn to let go. There are certain types of 518 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: pain that we need to remember to not repeat the 519 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: same mistake. And it's like, how do you know which 520 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: one's which right you know? Or how do you process it? 521 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: And even in relationship a lot we have a lot 522 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: of emotional pain, a mental anguish and relationships sometimes and 523 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: you know it's even when you're thinking about forgiving someone, 524 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: you could forgive them and not forget in terms of 525 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 1: the lesson that they taught you. And even adversity, I mean, 526 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 1: do you feel part of it as in hindsight, I 527 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: think about what's the meaning of this right? That's a 528 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: choice that we can make at any given time. Do 529 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: you think that what you went through most recently with 530 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: your surgery, do you think it's Do you look at 531 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: in any way as what is this teaching me? Yeah? Yeah, 532 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 1: always I think for me, I mean there's a lot 533 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: of lessons in it. One thing is I consider myself 534 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: to be quite a mindful of healthy individual. I try 535 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: and eat healthy, I work out, I sleep healthy, I 536 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: have good rhythms and routines. I definitely pushed the optimal performance, 537 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 1: but like I'm like definitely always trying to figure that out. 538 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: And I think things like this very humbling, And that's 539 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: how that's the biggest meaning I take away from all 540 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: of this stuff is you're not the control there, You're 541 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 1: not Superman. You're not you haven't figured everything out. Like 542 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,959 Speaker 1: they're very humbling. They make you realize you're still in 543 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 1: a human body and you have to deal with the 544 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: ups and downs of it. The second thing I think 545 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: I took away from this whole journey was how much 546 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,719 Speaker 1: I've enjoyed being slow. Like it's I consider myself, like 547 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: I want to say slow, I mean like I consider 548 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,360 Speaker 1: myself to be present mentally, but I think I'm quite 549 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: fast physically, and I live a fast life physically, and 550 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: mental presence is a beautiful thing when you live fast. 551 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 1: But having physical presence also, which this surgery made me 552 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: have for the first time in a long time, probably 553 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: since I was a kid, Like I can't remember, I've 554 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: literally felt like there were times when I was teaching 555 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 1: myself how to slowly walk again, and I put pressure 556 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: on my feet and I was like, wait a minute, 557 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: it's really nice living life this slow, Like this is 558 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 1: actually really special, Like I hope I can hold on 559 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: to elements of this. And yesterday it was funny because 560 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: I was with my friends in New York City and 561 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: we were on a walk and usually we looked at 562 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: it. It It was like twenty minutes to get someone. This 563 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 1: store was going to close in thirty minutes. And I 564 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: know that if I was walking that path like five 565 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: months ago, I'd have been like, we can do that 566 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: in ten Like that's what I would have said, And 567 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: I said to my friend, So I was like, look, 568 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna do it in probably like twenty 569 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: three minutes because I'm slower right now, right, and so 570 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 1: we're only going to get seven minutes at the store. 571 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: So if you guys want to go ahead, you guys, 572 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: go ahead, and I'm going to walk at my pace. 573 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 1: And we walked there. We got there in twenty three minutes, 574 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 1: and it was absolutely fine. But it was even just 575 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: me having that shift. I was like, Wow, I'm really 576 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 1: appreciating walking at this pace. Even though I could get 577 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: more done before, there's there's a certain joy in moving 578 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: at this space. So I fully agree with you. I 579 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: think there's so much meaning, so many lessons, and that 580 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: is the only way to live. I mean, you know, 581 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: if you don't live that way, it just ends up 582 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,239 Speaker 1: being another inconvenient Well, we certainly are. Everybody could as 583 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,959 Speaker 1: we had this shared adversity, right, it comes to different forms, 584 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: you know, I mentioned my challenges learning public speaking as 585 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: an adult. I had severe sleep issues from sleep apnea 586 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: obstructive and I would I would for five years. I 587 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: slept ninety minutes a night and it was it was 588 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: just tearing my mind to that, Yeah, this is one 589 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: of the things. And it wasn't straight, it was interrupted. 590 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: I would stop breathing. It was more of a genetic thing. 591 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: And I would stop breathing two hundred and forty times 592 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: a night. Each time was like ten seconds. And I 593 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: did a series of surgeries. And I know how how 594 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: humbling that could be, you know, and sometimes being reminded, 595 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: UM that we aren't always this the superman or woman 596 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: or or a girl. M you know, there's there's a 597 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: there's a great foundation for for curiosity. So what can 598 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: I learn from this? Um? A great appreciation to cultivate gratitude, 599 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: you know. I think what you appreciate tends to appreciate, yeah, 600 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: you know, in our life for sure. And gratitude redwires 601 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: our nervous system for greater productivity, for a greater performance, 602 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: and certainly greater peace, you know. And I think peace 603 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: of mind is high currency today without a doubt. With 604 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: my sleep, though, you know, and that was a very 605 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: painful surgery. It was different than when you're a kid 606 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: had taken and they took them my tonsils, my uvala 607 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: and my soft palette, and I was, you know, for 608 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: for weeks, couldn't breathe couldn't eat, couldn't do anything. Um. 609 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: But I think when I learned from my sleep issues, 610 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,719 Speaker 1: you know, there was a gift in it, you know, 611 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: when I would be able to read and remember and 612 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: focus and you know, so I got to you know, 613 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: live when I teach and practice what I thought, Yeah, 614 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: that's that's a big thing. And then the other part 615 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: of it is I found out that and everything I 616 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: did was you know for a reason, like there's nowhere 617 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: else I'd rather be right now right. I would always say, 618 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: you know, the heck y ask or heck no um 619 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: because I think a lot of people get tired and 620 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: because they have too many tabs opened, or maybe some 621 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: people are watching right now feel burnt out because they're 622 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: doing too much. Maybe you're not burnt out because you're 623 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: doing too much. Maybe feel burnt out because you're doing 624 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: too little of the things that make you feel alive. 625 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: That the things I really liked you up and you know, 626 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: being in that cocoon, part of it is you could 627 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: get clarity. You know, I think solitude when we choose 628 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: to slow down and have you know, get space from noise, 629 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: and when you say yes to somebody or something, you're 630 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: not saying no to yourself. And I think clarity using time, 631 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: just even five ten minutes a day to just clarify 632 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: what's Sometimes when you're going one hundred miles an hour, 633 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: you're not thinking about oh am, I going in the 634 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: right direction? Yeah, right, and asking yourself a simple question 635 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: like what's what's most important to me? You know, in 636 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: my life, what's the most important to me in this moment, 637 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: in my relationships, in my career, and then asking yourself 638 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: on the other side, are my actions today aligned with 639 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: those values? Yes? Because sometimes you know, we make doing 640 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: something that's it's not just about time management for productivity, 641 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: it's about mind management, and it's about priority management. You know, 642 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: the most important thing is to get the most important 643 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: thing the most important thing, and you know that will 644 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: allow you while you're cocooning. You know that clarity as 645 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: well as doing so diretain things like care and contribution. 646 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: I could alliterate all the seas. Yeah, it makes a 647 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: difference to come out of this stronger, to be able 648 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: to sort to new heights as we're going through this transformation. Yeah. 649 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,719 Speaker 1: I think if someone's listeners right now and like really 650 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: feeling limited in you know, the sense of how they 651 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: feel about themselves, they're limited by how many options. I 652 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,719 Speaker 1: think options is an interesting thing, like you know, and 653 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: it is different for different people. I remembered that when 654 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: I was in the corporate world and when I was employed, 655 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: and yeah, I didn't do what was meaningful to me. 656 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: I wasn't passionate about what I did. It was just 657 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: what I needed to do to pay the bills and 658 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: take care of things. What gave me more confidence was 659 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: that I always would know if I had other options 660 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 1: of what I could do, and I would have to 661 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: entertain options in order to realize that I wasn't as 662 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: limited as I thought I was. Because there was a 663 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: part of me that believed I was like, well, this 664 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: is all I can do, this is the only qualification 665 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: I have, like no one else will give me a job. 666 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: And then there was a part of me and I 667 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: was like, well that's not true. Actually I could change 668 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: and shift and do this and do that. I think 669 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: often we limit the number of options we think we have. 670 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 1: It's it's almost like going back to that Edison quote 671 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: of like, I didn't fail ten thousand times. I just 672 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: found nine nine nine nine ways not to do it. 673 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: And I think there's a there's a deeper thought from 674 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 1: him that I loved when he said, and this is 675 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: something I always hold on to. And Edison said, when 676 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: you think you've exhausted all options, remember this, you haven't, right. 677 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: And I've always loved that because sometimes I feel like 678 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: that sometimes I'm trying to make something happen, right. Maybe 679 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: you're trying to get a book deal, maybe someone's trying 680 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: to get a podcast deal, maybe someone's trying to raise 681 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: a million dollars to save you a group of people 682 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: from something that they're struggling with, and you try everything 683 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: and then none of them work, and you think, oh, well, 684 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: it's just not meant to happen. But Edison's take is, 685 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: well there's another. How do you kind of live for 686 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 1: that one? More? Yeah? It doesn't make sense yet it does. 687 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: They say that the problem is rarely the problem. The 688 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: problem is our attitude about the problem. Yeah, you know, 689 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 1: with with options, it's they've they've shown where it's one 690 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 1: of those things where if you're if you're limited to 691 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: one option or two options, you don't really have a 692 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,839 Speaker 1: whole lot of choice. But also if you have too 693 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: many options, you might not actually anything because you struggle 694 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: with decision fatigue. Right, you have you have the menu 695 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 1: is like fifty pages long, and then it you have 696 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,320 Speaker 1: this overwhelm and our brain primarily is it more of 697 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: a deletion device, is trying to keep options out or 698 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: information out, otherwise we become overloaded and also overwhelmed. And 699 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 1: so that's that's a big part of it. You know, 700 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: something I teach in everything. When i'mber, I'm working with 701 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 1: a client, I just look through one framework and I 702 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: call it the limitless model. And maybe this will shed 703 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 1: light and we can have a conversation about this where 704 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 1: I believe limits are learned in one of three areas. 705 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: And so if everybody we could turn this into like 706 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 1: a little exercise, if everybody can think of an area 707 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 1: where you feel limited, all right, So just think of 708 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: any area where you feel like and limitless is for me, 709 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: it's not about like being perfect. Limitless is about advancing 710 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 1: or progressing beyond which you currently believe or demonstrating as possible. 711 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,919 Speaker 1: And so if everybody thinks about an area of their health, 712 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: and maybe it's a relationship, where do you feel like 713 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: you're stuck, like you're not advancing? Where do you feel 714 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: like you're in a box. Now, that box, by definition 715 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,800 Speaker 1: is three dimensional, right, and there's three forces that contain 716 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: that box, but they're also three four. These are the 717 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: same three courses that will liberate you how to that 718 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 1: box and help you become more limitless. So imagine that 719 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: they were being represented by three intersecting circles. Some people 720 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,359 Speaker 1: are familiar with a ven diagram. It's kind of like 721 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,399 Speaker 1: Mickey Mouse. Two ears, two circles, and then a face, right, 722 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: and they and they overlap. So the first one is 723 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 1: your mindset. And so I believe that our mindset is 724 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 1: something like I wasn't born with this idea that I 725 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 1: had a broken brain. It was imprinted on me, right, 726 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,320 Speaker 1: And our mindset comes from our experience through external environment, 727 00:35:55,760 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: you know, through throughout other people's expectations and mindset, defining 728 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 1: as your attitudes and assumptions about something, your attitudes assumptions 729 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,839 Speaker 1: about what's possible, your attitudes and assumptions about what you're 730 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: capable of, because you could believe it's possible for somebody 731 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 1: else to have that loving relationship or build that big 732 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: business or have one hundred thousand followers, but you might 733 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 1: not believe it's possible for you, and you can still 734 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: be stuck in that box. Besides what is possible, what 735 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 1: you what you're capable of, what you believe you deserve. Right, 736 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 1: a lot of people might be stuck in that box 737 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: because they might know the right methods that may be motivated, 738 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,359 Speaker 1: but they don't believe that they deserve those things. So 739 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 1: those are the things that I talk about uncovering and 740 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 1: unlimiting those those lies. So if you believe you're not 741 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 1: smart enough, if you believe you're a slow reader, if 742 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,720 Speaker 1: you believe you're I am a procrastinator, whatever it happens 743 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: to be, you're stuck in that box. The second circle 744 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,800 Speaker 1: that you have to take into account besides mindset, and 745 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 1: there are many interventions by the way, like if you 746 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 1: feel like you could identify a lie that you know, hey, 747 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: I'm not smart enough, I don't know the resource whatever 748 00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 1: it is. You know. There are things that people have 749 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 1: talked about on your show, whether it's emotional freedom technique, 750 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:08,359 Speaker 1: em DR hypnosis. There's a ways of changing your belief systems. Right. 751 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 1: The second circle, though, is just as powerful. The second 752 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: m besides mindset is motivation, you know, and motivation. You 753 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 1: could have a limitless mindset but not be motivated to 754 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,240 Speaker 1: get out of that box. You might be everything is possible, 755 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,319 Speaker 1: I deserve it, I'm capable, but you're not motivated to 756 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: get off the couch and do those things. You know. 757 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 1: For me, there's a simple formula for sustained motivation, and 758 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,879 Speaker 1: it's P the letter P times E times S three. 759 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,799 Speaker 1: And so if we're to do a thought experiment and 760 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 1: say what do you want to be motivated for? Maybe 761 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 1: for some people it's to read every day. You know, 762 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,799 Speaker 1: leaders or readers. Somebody has decades experience like you do. 763 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,880 Speaker 1: You put into a book, think like a monk, and 764 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 1: somebody sit down a few days and read that book. 765 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 1: They could download decades in days, but they're not reading 766 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 1: every day. Maybe they're really good at buying a book, 767 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 1: but they're not good at reading that book. This is 768 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 1: some people, right, they're very good at adding to card 769 00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 1: and it sits on their shelf and become shelf help, 770 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,799 Speaker 1: not self felt right, But they're not motivated. And so 771 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: maybe their mindset is yeah, it's good to grow, but 772 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,839 Speaker 1: they're not motivated. So the peace dance for purpose, and 773 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 1: what I mean by purpose is and you're an expert 774 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: at this is just not just cognitive reasons, but how 775 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 1: do you feel about something? Because we know we're not logical, 776 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: we are more emotional, right, And you mentioned that if 777 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 1: there's a song they can take you back to when 778 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: your child, it's that emotional feeling, that mood that got 779 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 1: linked to that information. It's just like a food or 780 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 1: a fragrance that can take you back to when you're 781 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 1: a kid. So purpose allowing yourself to feel the benefits 782 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 1: instead of just has to go from your head to 783 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,280 Speaker 1: your heart to your hands, right, and so allow yourself 784 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 1: to feel that. But even if someone has purpose, they 785 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 1: might not read because they E stands for energy, right. 786 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,479 Speaker 1: A lot of some people if they if they haven't 787 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: slept because they have a newborn child, they can't focus, right, 788 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 1: they can't have the mental fortitude. Or maybe they eat 789 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 1: some junk food. And I don't think there's junk food. 790 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: There's junk and there's food, but maybe they're they're they're 791 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,359 Speaker 1: in a food coma and they on the energy to study, right, 792 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: so you have you know, we talk about the best 793 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 1: brain foods how to reduce stress because it takes a 794 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 1: lot of energy. Your pure group could take a lot 795 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:09,960 Speaker 1: of energy out of you else as well. But let's 796 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,440 Speaker 1: say you have a limitless purpose and limitless energy. The 797 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 1: s three are those small simple steps, you know, those 798 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 1: tiny little actions you could take. So maybe it's working 799 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 1: out and that's too big, or going back to reading. 800 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,759 Speaker 1: Maybe it's reading a chapter is too big for someone 801 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: who doesn't do that. Maybe just opening the book is 802 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 1: a small simple step. Reading one line is a small 803 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,439 Speaker 1: simple step. Maybe working out an hour a day is tough. 804 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 1: Maybe getting your running shoes on, maybe getting yourself to 805 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,840 Speaker 1: the gym as a small simple step. I think little 806 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,880 Speaker 1: by little, a little becomes a lot, you know, And 807 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 1: so that's really the key is consistency, because if you're persistent, 808 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,440 Speaker 1: you could achieve it, but if you're consistent, you get 809 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,560 Speaker 1: to keep it. Yeah, and it's difference between something being 810 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 1: attainable and sustainable over time. And then finally the last 811 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: them are the methods. You know, once you have a 812 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: limitless mindset, you have a limits motivation. You could be 813 00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: doing old methods and still not yet where you need 814 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,920 Speaker 1: to go all methods of sales, or methods of learning, 815 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,359 Speaker 1: all methods of health. And you wonder why you're still 816 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 1: stuck in that box. And so when's the last time 817 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 1: we took time to upgrade our knowledge? Our skills are 818 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 1: our abilities, you know. So those are the three ms. 819 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: And if people draw that out or even imagine that, 820 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 1: you'll notice that the three ms overlap and they create 821 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,839 Speaker 1: three eyes too, where mindset and motivation crossover. The first 822 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 1: eye is inspiration, right, because it changes what's inspiration something 823 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 1: that changes your mindset about what's possible. And also you're 824 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,280 Speaker 1: a little bit motivated. You have some drive and purpose, 825 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 1: but you might not have the methods, you might not 826 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 1: have the instruction right, so you're still stuck in that 827 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 1: box where mindset and methods crossover. You believe it's possible 828 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 1: in your mind and you know what to do the methods. 829 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 1: That's the second eye, which is ideation. It just stays 830 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 1: an idea, right, and nothing's happening because you're not motivated. 831 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 1: And then finally, where motivation and methods crossover, you're the 832 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 1: third eye, which is implementation. You're motivated, your purpose, you 833 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 1: have energy and you know what to do to do 834 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 1: that get out of that box. But you can still 835 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,880 Speaker 1: be stuck in that box because you're limited by your mindset, 836 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: you know. And so that's what I think. And then 837 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,720 Speaker 1: we're three, all three connect. You have the fourth eye, 838 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 1: which is your identity, which is integration. It's just who 839 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 1: you are and that's really the goal. So my my 840 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:22,319 Speaker 1: conversation with becoming more limitless is about redrawing, like where 841 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,399 Speaker 1: where are we stuck? And I think when you could identify, Oh, 842 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,760 Speaker 1: it's let's say someone can remember names. Is in my mindset? 843 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,319 Speaker 1: Do I believe I'm just too old or have a 844 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: horrible memory, or maybe that's not the case. Maybe it's hey, 845 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:34,439 Speaker 1: I don't have a purpose, I don't have a reason 846 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,840 Speaker 1: to remember their names. Yeah right, Or I'm just really tired, 847 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,200 Speaker 1: or I don't have the methods. I was never taught. 848 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,359 Speaker 1: There's no class on how to remember names. And then 849 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,239 Speaker 1: it gives you your your agency back, it gives your 850 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,399 Speaker 1: power back. Also, it's such a phenomenal framework. It's such 851 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,719 Speaker 1: a fantastic framework, and I know it's in the book Limitless. 852 00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 1: It's it's such a great framework. And I love the 853 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,359 Speaker 1: way you break things down because, like you said, I 854 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,279 Speaker 1: think often we just spend too much time and well, 855 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 1: we waste too much time just trying to figure out 856 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,799 Speaker 1: what the issue is, right, and it's one of those three. 857 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,800 Speaker 1: I Once you know that, then you can break it down. 858 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,359 Speaker 1: And I think you've just given people a real map 859 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 1: to say, Hey, which area is struggling with with whatever 860 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 1: limit they chose, And it works for yourself. And also 861 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,399 Speaker 1: it's a map you could use with people around you. Yeah, 862 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: it's a lens. When you're working with your kids and 863 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,879 Speaker 1: they're not doing something that they know they should do, 864 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,359 Speaker 1: you know, is that their mindset? Do they not believe 865 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,560 Speaker 1: in themselves? I believe they're capable of doing I believe 866 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,880 Speaker 1: they deserve it. Or maybe they have no purpose to 867 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 1: clean their room or to study these things. You know, 868 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,160 Speaker 1: if it's not relevant to them, they're probably not and 869 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,480 Speaker 1: so you know what to address. Maybe they're just we 870 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 1: have to work on optimizing their energy because you don't 871 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,239 Speaker 1: have energy. You do it right, Yes, this whole idea. 872 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,319 Speaker 1: You take your nouns in your life and turn them 873 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 1: into verbs. You don't have focus. People are thinking, that's 874 00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,719 Speaker 1: my problemt to I'm watching this don't have focus. But 875 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,040 Speaker 1: you don't have focus, you do it. There's a process 876 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,760 Speaker 1: for focusing. You don't have a memory. There's a process 877 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,440 Speaker 1: of encoding, storing, and retrieving. You know, you don't even 878 00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 1: have energy. There's a process for generating energy. And as 879 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 1: their friend and Burchard talks a lot about, you know 880 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,480 Speaker 1: a lot that you know, you generate these kind of 881 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,480 Speaker 1: energy and they're also it can be the methods. Sometimes 882 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,799 Speaker 1: it's it's simply learning better tools also as well, so 883 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 1: you could use it with your friends. You can work 884 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,879 Speaker 1: with your team. And this works micro and it also 885 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,719 Speaker 1: works macro. This works at a cultural level, it works 886 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 1: at the level of community, works at the level of 887 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 1: your country. There's a set mindset about, you know what, 888 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 1: maybe around certain issues right now it's really hard to 889 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,760 Speaker 1: create change or it becoming more limitless, you know, based 890 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 1: on certain mindset around maybe fairness and quality whatever happens 891 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 1: to be. Or maybe these people and maybe they don't 892 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,640 Speaker 1: have purpose, you know, or maybe they're be incentivized to 893 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:40,880 Speaker 1: keep things in a certain way, or maybe they lack 894 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,320 Speaker 1: energy or resources, or maybe they're using old methods for 895 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,439 Speaker 1: leadership or making change. Right, So it can happen micro 896 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,239 Speaker 1: or macro. That's unbelievable. Yeah, I love that. I love 897 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,480 Speaker 1: the framework even more hearing it from you. It's just 898 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,279 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of so many areas in my 899 00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,719 Speaker 1: life from like, okay, which one am I struggling with? Right? 900 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,399 Speaker 1: Like which which one is it? Or we haven't got 901 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,279 Speaker 1: it right or we haven't figured it out. And I 902 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,719 Speaker 1: think if everyone just took a few moments today to 903 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 1: reflect on that one area of their life that they 904 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,800 Speaker 1: want to work on and identify it with that process, 905 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 1: when we start to do it, you know who we're around, 906 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,640 Speaker 1: We always have known that. Like who we're around is 907 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 1: such a big deal. Our friends, our family, our community, 908 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,319 Speaker 1: Like these things have a huge impact on us, right, 909 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 1: Like negativity is contagious, like so much. So many people 910 00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 1: will say that they feel drained by the people around 911 00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 1: them or their family, or that when they share a new, 912 00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,959 Speaker 1: big idea with someone that they love, they're often met 913 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,080 Speaker 1: with resistance. Like I hear this so often. And when 914 00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 1: you think about limits, you think about what you said, 915 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 1: like you didn't you weren't born with limits, you had 916 00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 1: limits placed on you. But we either get to choose 917 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:56,720 Speaker 1: to accept or reject those limits. But it's really hard, 918 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,880 Speaker 1: and it's really hard for people to reject a limit 919 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,919 Speaker 1: placed on them by someone they love and trust. Walk 920 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:05,719 Speaker 1: us through that a little bit, like, let's think out 921 00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 1: loud about that. Like when someone has their mother or 922 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,880 Speaker 1: their father or someone they really respect place a limit 923 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,319 Speaker 1: on them, right, you want that person to root for 924 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,359 Speaker 1: you. You You want that person for you to win. Yeah, 925 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,399 Speaker 1: we all need people to encourage us, to be able 926 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 1: to challenge us, to be able to cheer, lead, for 927 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 1: us to believe in us. And if we haven't found 928 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:28,040 Speaker 1: that person yet, then you know, my advice would be 929 00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,279 Speaker 1: to be that person. Be that person for somebody else, 930 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:36,800 Speaker 1: especially be that person for yourself. Right. You know we 931 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:39,560 Speaker 1: we talked about last time in this conversation the difference 932 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 1: between a thermostat and a thermometer, a thermometer on the wall, 933 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,759 Speaker 1: just it's only function that reacts to the environment. And 934 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:49,080 Speaker 1: sometimes we as humans, we react to the economy, we 935 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,800 Speaker 1: react to politics, we react how people treat us, react 936 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,279 Speaker 1: to the weather. But we know through studies done on 937 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,839 Speaker 1: people who are most successful at least at least the 938 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:01,680 Speaker 1: ones that are happiest and most fulfilled, they don't react 939 00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 1: as much as they respond. Right, they're a thermostat. A 940 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,319 Speaker 1: thermostat doesn't react to the environment. It gages and knows 941 00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 1: the temperature in this room, but it also what It 942 00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,840 Speaker 1: sets a temperature and there in the environment reacts to it. 943 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 1: So it's that agency, you know. Last time, you and 944 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,839 Speaker 1: I talked about some of the people that I get 945 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,080 Speaker 1: to be able to spend time within Coach and when 946 00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,200 Speaker 1: I learned from those people, and one of them I 947 00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,040 Speaker 1: mentioned was stan Lee. And it wasn't just his playfulness, 948 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,719 Speaker 1: you know, and his passion for what he did. It 949 00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:33,080 Speaker 1: was also responsibility, you know. I remember I picked him 950 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:36,239 Speaker 1: up for dinner one day evening and I asked him, like, 951 00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,560 Speaker 1: I need to know this because I remember I couldn't read. 952 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,359 Speaker 1: I tell myself how to read by reading comic books. 953 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:42,840 Speaker 1: I tell him that whole story because it brought the 954 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 1: words to life. But I said, who's your favorite? Who's 955 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,480 Speaker 1: your favorite? And he says, Jim, my favorite is iron Man. 956 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,680 Speaker 1: And he says, Jim, who's your favorite? And he had 957 00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:52,640 Speaker 1: the Spider Man tie and I was like Spider Man 958 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,440 Speaker 1: And he says, without a pause in his iconic voice, 959 00:46:55,600 --> 00:47:00,759 Speaker 1: with great power comes great responsibility, right, And truthfully, I 960 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,319 Speaker 1: reverse a lot of things I see, I read, I 961 00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,800 Speaker 1: hear maybe because of my brain injuries as a child, 962 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,239 Speaker 1: and I heard something totally different I was. I say, 963 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,880 Speaker 1: you're right. With great power comes great responsibility, and the 964 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,480 Speaker 1: opposite is also true. With great responsibility comes great power. 965 00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 1: When we take responsibility for something, we have great power 966 00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,200 Speaker 1: to make things better, you know. And the thing is, 967 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,480 Speaker 1: when we make excuses or we complain it's probably all valid. 968 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,920 Speaker 1: We probably it's probably true, right, but it doesn't make 969 00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,880 Speaker 1: anything better. Right, So we use a lot of our focus, 970 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,400 Speaker 1: our attention, our energy when it can be better well spent, 971 00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 1: because we can't be upset by the results we didn't 972 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 1: get from the work we didn't do right. And so 973 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,480 Speaker 1: when we take personal responsibility, we have the power to 974 00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:47,200 Speaker 1: make things better. And I would say part of responsibility 975 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:52,040 Speaker 1: is is our peer group certainly affects things. I always say, 976 00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,799 Speaker 1: watch it affects w our words, right, the words we 977 00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,319 Speaker 1: started adopting the same language patterns as people around us, 978 00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:02,839 Speaker 1: started using the same phrases, the a our actions, We 979 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,399 Speaker 1: start doing the same behaviors as people around us also 980 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,080 Speaker 1: as well, good and bad what we eat. So it's 981 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,719 Speaker 1: not just our neurological networks. It's our social networks, right, 982 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:13,600 Speaker 1: And who we spend time with is who we become. 983 00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,440 Speaker 1: We start believing their same standards, and they're all their 984 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:20,880 Speaker 1: expectations for us. Right. The Tea and Watch is we 985 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,560 Speaker 1: start mirroring the thoughts of the people around us. We 986 00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:25,840 Speaker 1: start thinking the same way about ourselves as other people 987 00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 1: think about us. And the c is a big one. 988 00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,799 Speaker 1: It's our character. Right. We know that people if they 989 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:35,040 Speaker 1: have breaks in integrity and the around people that are disingenuous, 990 00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,640 Speaker 1: you know that they're more likely to pursue, you know, 991 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,320 Speaker 1: and have that same kind of standard. I saw recently 992 00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,400 Speaker 1: a quote that said integrity is measured by the distance 993 00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:48,000 Speaker 1: between someone's lips and their life, and I just like, wow, 994 00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:53,200 Speaker 1: that's a nice cut. Yes, all truth bumps, but yeah, 995 00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,920 Speaker 1: it's the character. And then finally the h and Watch 996 00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,120 Speaker 1: our habits. We start adopting the same routines and the 997 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,040 Speaker 1: habits of the pole that we spend time with. So 998 00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:05,520 Speaker 1: we have to stand guard to the doors of our mind, right, 999 00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,319 Speaker 1: and we have these mirror neurons that's constantly in our 1000 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,879 Speaker 1: nervous system. They are constantly imitating the people around us, 1001 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 1: and so we can love our family and we can 1002 00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:17,520 Speaker 1: love our friends, but when our lives are fueled by 1003 00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 1: the expectations and beliefs and opinions of other people, then 1004 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:22,919 Speaker 1: we're going to run out of gas, right, good, bad, 1005 00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 1: and and different. Part of it is owning that agency, 1006 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,880 Speaker 1: saying that yeah, it's yes, it's hard, you know, when 1007 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,400 Speaker 1: people don't believe in you, and like that. That's I 1008 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,360 Speaker 1: was very blessed. I think, you know, I won the 1009 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,680 Speaker 1: lottery when it came to my parents. They immigrated here. 1010 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,680 Speaker 1: They're not the most spiritual, They've never had a green juice, 1011 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:41,799 Speaker 1: you know, they don't do yoga, they're not the most 1012 00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,239 Speaker 1: health conscious or you know, read personal development books. But 1013 00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,600 Speaker 1: they're just there's really good people. They do what they 1014 00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,040 Speaker 1: they're hard working, they're very very kind, you know. So 1015 00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:50,840 Speaker 1: I feel like everything that's good that's come out of 1016 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,799 Speaker 1: you know, that I've ever done is a credit to them. 1017 00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,279 Speaker 1: Anything that's fall short, you know, it's all on me, 1018 00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:58,960 Speaker 1: you know. So I very I'm very blessed. And it's 1019 00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,160 Speaker 1: not so much about the resources you have, because we 1020 00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,080 Speaker 1: didn't have any education, we don't have any money, and 1021 00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:04,759 Speaker 1: we live in the back of a laundry map that 1022 00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,719 Speaker 1: my mom, whom we worked at, didn't have any connections 1023 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,680 Speaker 1: or network or anything you know, back then, And so 1024 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,800 Speaker 1: I would say that if there's somebody else that has 1025 00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,720 Speaker 1: survived and even thrived, you know, those game kind of situations, 1026 00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,120 Speaker 1: that I do believe that genius in any of its form, 1027 00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,640 Speaker 1: And I'll talk about IQ that it's built that and 1028 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,080 Speaker 1: it's not born, it's built around that. We shouldn't be 1029 00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:29,240 Speaker 1: shrinking our lives and our dreams to meet this current situation. Instead, 1030 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,000 Speaker 1: don't downgrade your dreams to meet this current situation. What 1031 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,400 Speaker 1: if we upgraded our mindset and what if we upgraded 1032 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,240 Speaker 1: our motivation. What if we upgraded the methods we're using 1033 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:41,120 Speaker 1: to be able to meet our destiny. Jim, that's so powerful. 1034 00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:44,279 Speaker 1: I mean that one statement, the reframe I've had that 1035 00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:46,280 Speaker 1: I'm a big Marvel fan, as you know, and yeah, 1036 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:50,720 Speaker 1: to hear that reframe of that statement, with great responsibility 1037 00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 1: comes great power. That's a universal principle. It's almost like, 1038 00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,319 Speaker 1: if you think about it, that when you take on 1039 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,359 Speaker 1: a great responsibility, everything in the universe conspires to help 1040 00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:04,400 Speaker 1: you with it. And so the amount of help you 1041 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,000 Speaker 1: get is about how much healing you're trying to bring 1042 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,000 Speaker 1: and that's really beautiful and powerful. I mean, that's going 1043 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,200 Speaker 1: to stay with me for a long time. That's a really, 1044 00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,439 Speaker 1: really special insight.

You know, I believe 1060 00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:01,799 Speaker 1: the world right now, so many people feel like they're 1061 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:05,000 Speaker 1: dimming themselves their message to be able to because they 1062 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,080 Speaker 1: don't want their light to shine in other people's eyes 1063 00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:08,640 Speaker 1: and I feel like we need to be doing the 1064 00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:12,279 Speaker 1: opposite now more than ever. You know, we need a better, 1065 00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,600 Speaker 1: brighter world, and I think that there's a version of 1066 00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:19,480 Speaker 1: ourselves and our family is our purpose, everything that's patiently 1067 00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:21,680 Speaker 1: waiting and the goal as we show up every single 1068 00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:25,799 Speaker 1: day until we're introduced.
