And it's how do we get the freedom that we need?

from physical strength, metabolic health, all of those attributes, those desires, those characteristics, they don't happen by accident.

Freedom is built through disciplined choices.

It is earned through clarity, and it begins with right thought and ends with right actions.

Discernment lies at the root of true strength and power, not just physical might, but also cognitive clarity to see through illusion, resist distraction.

I'm guessing that distraction kills more people than obesity.

And how do we choose actions that align with intentions?

Each of us has, you know, we have thousands, thousands of thoughts, maybe millions of thoughts per day, many of which are useless and demotivating.

Just because a thought is ours, meaning I had it, doesn't make it any more relevant.

You know, the human brain has evolved to conserve energy.

And so it often defaults to assumptions and familiar patterns.

Think about this in your own life.

You're going about your day and without even your awareness, you've shifted into default thinking.

Well, that can be problematic.

In some ways, it can be protective.

You know, you get in the car, you put on your seatbelt.

But in a world that is engineered for passivity, discernment, the ability to focus on the right thing and thought at the right time is an act of resilience.

It's what keeps you on track and dialed in.

It's what allows you to interrupt the script and ask, is this thought aligned with the person I want to be?

Or is this thought aligned with the person I don't want to be?
