Even like, I think number one reason we have brains besides controlling our movement is to be able to think, to be able to learn, to be able to adapt.

But when did we learn how to do any of those things, right?

School taught us what to learn, math, history, science, but there are no classes or courses on how to learn, how to think.

They teach you what to think or what to learn, but not how.

And so I would say a focus on

Just like the CEO of Google's DeepMind AI program saying learning how to learn, I would say your ability to learn, to unlearn, to relearn is the ultimate advantage because then if you learn rapidly, everything else is easy.

You can apply it towards money, music, martial arts, marketing, Mandarin, whatever, everything gets easy.

So I wrote Limitless Midorapakas to Good People and Order's Manual for Your Brain, but I think it starts with awareness, like any change, is know thyself.

A lot of people say it's hard sometimes to go in and look in the mirror and see the things that we need to get better at to make a better life.

I would also say part of it, besides awareness, is a commitment.

I mean, if we're going to get really raw, change is scary because it's the unknown.

Your nervous system's not designed for growth.

It's designed for safety, right?

It wasn't there to preserve your survival.

It's scary going up to that person to start a business or get an investor or whatever.

working out or studying something brand new, that's just scary because it's unknown.

And our amygdala fires off like it's a threat because the unknown is threatening, right?

And we act like it's a saber-toothed tiger, even though it's not.

And we're in our survival brain, which is like fight or flight, but it holds us hostage from the executive functioning, our ability to make decisions, our ability to adapt, our ability to innovate, solve problems, all the things that make us better entrepreneurs.

Safety is important.
