So what happens to most people is that they come to these points in their lives where they're really uncomfortable.

Maybe they're giving a speech or playing ping pong in front of a bunch of people.

It doesn't matter what it is.

If you're nervous and other people are watching, they come to those moments where they're really uncomfortable and they back away because they're too uncomfortable.

They're too afraid of looking foolish in front of others.

Whereas the most successful people, they're willing to look foolish.

They're willing to make mistakes.

And so I think a lot of people know that, but how do we get there?

And so in that moment, it's realizing that when I'm the most uncomfortable, that's the moment that's the key for you.

And it's principle number one for inner excellence.

Everything is here to teach me and help me.

It's all working for my good.

So we're going to go look for those moments when you're most uncomfortable and remind yourself, this is my teacher.

And inter-excellence is about expanding what you believe is possible.

There's three pillars of inter-excellence, belief, freedom, and focus.

To be fully engaged in the moment, have freedom to play like a child, and expand what you believe is possible.

To do things you've never done and become someone you've never been.

And to expand what you believe is possible, kind of that crucial pillar, is we need to find those moments where we're uncomfortable.

And we need to embrace that moment.

And the way we do it is we understand that the key thing here is not the outcome, but it's my willingness to be in this moment and not back away.
