Because every time we're upset, the small vessel will emerge and try to take control. And then you'll be in the same destiny in the same movie.

That attracted that, right?

Fear. What type of fear? Well, it's insecurity. It's shame. And this results in you limiting your beliefs. And so in some ways, what we're talking about here actually is a decision between fear and love, right? And when you're fearful, this stimulates your sympathetic nervous system with all the negative aspects of it.

And when you're fearful, this stimulates your sympathetic nervous system with all the negative aspects of it.

When you love, you're open, you're generous, you're thoughtful, you're kind because you've engaged the parasympathetic nervous system. And you have a choice. This is like, if you look at Stoic philosophers, like somebody like Epictetus, who was a slave. He says, I cannot control my external environment. What I can control is how I react to my environment, right?

So you meet people, I'm sure, who say, my life's miserable, my life's horrible. While you meet other people who go, well, it's tough right now, but I'm optimistic it's going to get better. Or I know if I do this, it's going to get better. These are completely different. oppositional attitudes that have a profound, profound effect, depending on what you're believing.

Well, I can't sit here and say, you do this and your life's going to be perfect. There's some situations either because of, as an example, structural racism that's built into the system. or chronic poverty, because throughout the world, and even in America, the ability to overcome poverty, for most, it's highly unlikely that's going to happen.

So yes, you do have power, but it's not necessarily, I'm gonna change it, and everything's gonna be perfect for me. And I'm sure things are not perfect for you, right? And no matter how much you try or want, well, externally, things may look fantastic, It's not perfect. And it's not the way you necessarily want. And I have to say the same thing.

But there are people who, yeah, no matter how hard they're going to work, it's going to be very challenging. That being said, what we do know is there are certain practices and rules

And if you are going to get out of something or if you are going to change things, then the best way to do that, which has the highest likelihood of success, is to go through some of the things that we're talking about here. And one of those is that, as an example, there is a tendency for us to want to achieve, right? And if you're an athlete, you have a goal you set there.

Well, goals are fine, but if you focus only on the goal and have no concern about any of the other things that are going on. The process. Yeah. Then you reach the goal and there's nothing there.
