You know how hard it is to do the opposite of what the negative emotion is telling you.

I can be excited.

Hey, Raj, I have this dream.

I'm going to write a screenplay one day.

I'm so excited.

I'm so curious.

I'll watch some Netflix.

That's easy to do.

But when my fear and my anxiety is saying, oh my God, these people don't like you, don't leave the house, everyone thinks you're pathetic, you're third in the class, you're a loser, it's hard to overcome that.

It's hard to overcome sadness.

And then a lot of people who are really successful, what they do is they reinforce this mechanism because this is the mechanism that's responsible for their success.

So the moment you become content,

You're going to start shrinking.

This is going to be really scary for you, right?

You know what's worse?

When you stop moving up every year.

Because you're going to be higher than 76, right?

Yeah, absolutely.

But one year, someone else is going to start growing faster than you are.

Once you've really lost, then we'll teach you how to be happy.
