They\u2019re taught to be practical.\xa0Typically the people around them want to protect them from having disappointment\u2026so they keep them from stretching and growing and potentially \u2018failing\u2019.
The mindset we adopt usually comes from what\u2019s given to us.
Until we make a deliberate decision to set our reality, our reality is programmed for us.
Unless they\u2019ve had a tough moment in their life where they started to question everything\u2026they haven\u2019t done the reflection to know what they really feel and believe and hold to be true.
We break that by starting to ask some really tough questions.
I think that what happens very often is we just adopt the things that were done around us. And we never question them.
What happens when somebody sneezes?\xa0Most people say \u2018Bless You.\u2019\xa0Well, why..? I personally don\u2019t bless people when they sneeze because\u2026.
When you get ready to make the transformation, the first piece is awareness.\xa0Being aware that there is something different.
Is this it?\xa0Is this really what I\u2019m supposed to be doing?\xa0Do I really believe that?\xa0And there is a disconnect\u2026and we traditionally ignore that.
If you go down the rabbit hole\u2026and start pulling on the wires and see what\u2019s really hard wired and what\u2019s loosely connected, you\u2019ll find a lot of the things that appear to be locked in and hardwired are really loose.
People wrap a chain around a gate, but won\u2019t put a lock on the end.\xa0People will assume it\u2019s locked\u2026But there are people who will go up and see that we can just unravel the chain and go in.\xa0And that right there is the secret to those who achieve crazy success and those who wind up living a pretty mediocre life.\xa0They just assume something is locked and don\u2019t even try to figure out if they can get in.
We don\u2019t ever really understand our power until we choose to explore it.
The elephant\u2026has already made up its mind that it won\u2019t be successful at that, so it doesn\u2019t even try.
Self worth is level one of The Red Pill\u2026.it really just goes back to your ability to keep promises to yourself\u2026.it\u2019s like a deposit in the bank\u2026.there\u2019s nothing left to pull from.\xa0So when they\u2019re counting on themselves to do something and there\u2019s nothing left to pull from, they decide that they can\u2019t or won\u2019t do it.\xa0Keep stacking that up?\xa0And it will make you feel like you\u2019re worthless.
You wind up building this prison for yourself that you can\u2019t get out of without a little bit of help.
Set up your day where you can have a win as soon as possible.\xa0You build momentum and that momentum keeps going.
When you\u2019re accountable to yourself, your ability to hold other people accountable is really easy.
Other people will be more accountable to you when they know that you\u2019re an accountable person because they don\u2019t want to let you down.
The thing with forgiveness for ourself is we actually know how hard we tried and what our true intention was.\xa0There is no ability to lie to yourself because you are the decision maker in the process.\xa0With other people, we can give them the benefit of the doubt.
The forgiveness is for you.\xa0It\u2019s not for them.
People like being the victim because they feel that it puts them in a position of power against the other person.\xa0\u201cWell, you owe me because you did X.\u201d\xa0But at the end of the day, you\u2019re giving your power away to everybody else.
The second layer of the Red Pill is relationships.\xa0You fix the way you relate with yourself and that changes the way you relate with others.
You want mutually beneficial relationships.
People with low self esteem are giving everything away in the hopes that people will find them worthy.
In a mutually beneficial relationship\u2026you wind up in a place of abundance.
Liz Gilbert\u2026wrote a book\u2026a lot of the creatives had these tough situations..because the weight\u2026was so heavy that they couldn\u2019t handle it\u2026channeling the creative through them\u2026.so not responsible for the work.
Jacko Willink talks about extreme ownership
I think the truth is somewhere in between.
In order for something to have value, there has to be an exchange.
Sit in the quiet.\xa0If you\u2019re spending quiet time with yourself every day\u2026 you don\u2019t have the chance to hear the inner voice\u2026.walk in and right away turn the tv on\u2026scared to be alone with their thoughts.
If you spend enough time with yourself, the voice will make it very clear.\xa0I suspect that everyone really knows what it is, they just don\u2019t want to hear it.
We live in a world where the majority of folks are ok with being mediocre.
It starts with the end.\xa0You know where that place is, then you figure out how you\u2019re going to get there and you have the milestones along the way\u2026to show that you\u2019re making progress.
Those milestones are extremely important because\u2026
Do I think enough people do it?\xa0No.\xa0Because I think everybody should do it.
When you\u2019re reflective, you\u2019re able to slow it down\u2026and be strategic\u2026and a whole lot more deliberate in your action.
It\u2019s either Hell, Yes!\xa0or No. \xa0
When you get clear on the place that you\u2019re going\u2026it gets so much easier to decide what you should be doing and what you shouldn\u2019t. And that right there is magical because you\u2019re now free.\xa0Making this one decision frees up a thousand other decisions.
Multi tasking typically doesn\u2019t work and sequence is extremely important.
The dreams will stack on top of each other\u2026the person that you have to become to fulfill that first dream is going to be necessary for you to do the other one.
No is the beginning of the negotiation. \xa0
The conflict is the beauty of life\u2026.you\u2019re convinced you\u2019re getting to the best solution instead of being right.
Back in 2010, I realized I wasn\u2019t living the life I should have been living\u2026I hadn\u2019t utilized the second chance I\u2019d been given to live.\xa0It began to weigh on me and I had to redefine\u2026my experience and how people were going to experience me.
Get to the quiet space and listen.
Dreams should be real.
I believe there is one law and the law is love.
