Right. And I'm sure you've heard that a million times, that fear of like, okay, well, you know, I don't believe I can start living my passion and I don't believe that I can do what I love for work or I don't believe that I have, it's possible for someone like me to achieve whatever else it may be.

And then I can say it to myself before I go to bed, but I don't believe it because I don't believe it. I stopped doing it after two to three days. What's the difference between someone who's practicing this in a way that it works and we'll get onto action in a second, but at least practicing the belief change, because I'm, I'm fully with you, by the way.

Like I remember I had a mentor that used to constantly say to me, he'd say, Jay, you're an entrepreneur. You're an entrepreneur. You're an entrepreneur. And at this time I was working a full-time job, nine to five and getting paid, whatever it was. And he'd keep telling me, be like, Jay, you're an entrepreneur. And I'd keep telling him, I'd be like, no, I'm not. No, I'm not. No, I'm not.

And then it was only when I was required to have to be an entrepreneur did I have to shift into that gear and become one. But if you still ask me today, I'm like, I'm an entrepreneur, but I much prefer being a creative and an artist and a thinker. That's where I thrive, if you ask me.

there are past experiences, past traumas, past relationships that you now have to go back to and uncover and unlearn and understand because you've almost been living in a sense of darkness in that area of your life.
