That's part one of it. And in me, I don't like bullies. And in effect, we're being bullied by our brain. You know, so there's a part of me that's like, fuck you, right? That's one part of it. You're exactly right. But there's the other part, which is in addition to just leveling it and no longer swimming upstream, how do you grow the strengths inside?

How do you influence who you are becoming from the inside out? And to me, that's very interesting. You know, I grew up really a shy, dorky kid, decent parenting and so forth. I was very young going through school. And so I really felt nobody cared about me or saw me and I was shit. I was a loser and I was never going to be any good.

strengths inside of various kinds that compensated for that, that healed that, such as feeling just included. Or I still remember a million-dollar moment, you know, because I was super young in school. I was picked last for sports. In college, though, I kind of discovered I was a pretty good athlete. I was playing intramural football American football, not soccer, but you got it.

And this stud of a quarterback on our team who was just a little too small to play Division I football, but was still a manly man. And he walked past me one day as we were coming back to our dorms after practice, and he just grunted at me, you know, like dudes do. Hey, Hanson, you're good. I'm going to throw to you more. Oh, man. That was a million-dollar moment.

That was so good to take in, to let it sink into me, to specifically heal wounds and lacks inside and also grow normal range, self-worth and self-confidence. So for me, these are the two reasons, to tilt toward what's beneficial and to take in the good, to grow the good that lasts inside. One, definitely compensate for Mother Nature's bias, but also to develop whatever you want to grow inside you.

And your whole work, I think a lot of it is helping people realize they do have that power inside themselves and they can use that power in skillful ways. That's exactly right. And it's a plain fact that the essence of it is a two-step process that's incredibly simple. It's under our control most of the time, and people usually forget the second step.

First, you have to experience whatever you want to grow. You want to feel better about yourself? You want to feel more committed to exercise? you want to be less self-critical, you want to be more confident in public speaking, whatever it might be, you first have to experience what you want to grow or factors of it. Okay, that's a state.
