It's a dangerous trap.

The more talent you have, the more likely that you can get in this trap.

And the trap is I set a goal, I work at it, I get a result.

And then I process that result in my mind.

Do I like it?

Is it good or bad?

Did I win or lose?

And then after I process it in my mind, I'm going to get a feeling.

And that feeling is going to be, if I got what I wanted, it's going to be positive but temporary.

If I didn't get what I wanted, it's going to be negative.

And that's going to impact my beliefs because beliefs are feelings.

And then I'm going to be like, that belief will be, oh, maybe I can achieve my dreams or maybe I won't.

But because if you're talented, now what are you going to do?

It's another goal.

And so say you achieve the first one.

You're like, okay, maybe I can, you process in your mind, yeah, I can do these things and I'm going to be somebody and I'm going to achieve these things.

You set another higher goal and then you don't get it.

Then you process in your mind like, oh, this sucks.

So you get a negative feeling, impacts your belief, maybe I can't do this.

But the more talented you are, the more tears you're going to get when you do achieve these things because they're going to be bigger than most people.
