I went to library and read books and it sounds so archaic because who goes to library now, but they were like my friends in my mind.
I feel like you just invest into those things and it just shapes your perspective on the world.
So learn how to learn, know your values in terms of what's most important to you so you can focus on those things.
Begin with the end in mind and think about your future self as a thought exercise.
I do this whole thing I call future episodic remembering.
You have a goal, you imagine, but it's so real.
Imagine your most amazing dream life.
or our situation, but imagine you can remember it.
I mean, you could think about it and it's as crystal clear as a memory you had yesterday.
That's the power of what our minds could do.
I feel like we've discovered more about the human mind than the past 10 years and the previous thousand years combined, and we find we're grossly underestimating our own capabilities, our own potential, that we could redraw the borders and boundaries of what's possible, that we're on this journey to reveal and realize this amazing potential and purpose,
But sometimes we downgrade our dreams to fit our current situation, our current mindset, when we can expand our mind to fit all that's really possible.
So when I talk about that future self, I think everyone, and if you've listened to this this far, that there's a version of yourself and your business and your brand and your bank account that's patiently waiting for you.
And the goal is we show up every single day until we're introduced.
I came from parents of immigrants, but know a lot of means.
I had a traumatic brain injury.
I was labeled learning disabled, called the boy with the broken brain.
I was always made fun of for being slow, since my last name was Quick.
I'd be teased and all this stuff.
I could never write a book.
