And when you don't think you're capable, it becomes so hard because naturally the part of your brain that is telling you whether you can do it or not, if it doesn't believe you can do it, you have to overcome that.

You have to force yourself.

You have to use things like willpower.

You're not really motivated.

You're motivated to not try.

And you have to force yourself.

But that comes from your identity.

And then the moment that you believe that you can do it, it becomes easier to do.

The big problem here, and you were asking a question about identity, is if we have some negative identity, that will prevent us from doing certain things.

It also motivates us to do other things.

So this is what a lot of people don't realize.

People will say to me, Dr. K, I have no motivation.

That's incorrect.

You have a ton of motivation.

You have a ton of motivation to stay home.

Yes.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Where positive identity says I can do something, I'm capable of doing things, sometimes this positive identity can turn into things like ambition.

It can even turn into narcissistic tendencies, right?
