In every area of health, wealth, relationships, career, business, spirituality, how to achieve my goal of X. Mm-hmm. We can have at our fingertips in five seconds on, you know, chat CPT or one of the AI platforms. So how to exist. And one of the visuals I like to give people is, have you ever tried to solve the Rubik's cube?
So most people would agree if I asked them this question, is it possible to solve this or this? Is it possible? It is. Right. But you have to learn the algorithm. You have to upgrade yours. First, you got to make a decision you want to. But whether it's a two by two, three by three, four by four, or five by five, or even one of the granddaddies. All right. It's possible to do it, right?

So a couple of options. Option one, figure it out yourself and sit there and try the literally billions of possible moves. And you're like, I'm frustrated. This is too hard. I don't know. I don't know what I can get this here and that there, but I can't get. So you give up. So we give up.

Now, do we give up because it's not possible or do we give up because we implemented the wrong process to do it? Right. And now we have frustration. And now, you know, I give up. And now I develop this identity of somebody who starts but does not finish hard stuff. Right. Now, you want to learn how to do this? Go to YouTube right now. You'll have this done in 10 minutes.

This will take a lot longer. But there are people that will teach you step by step by step. And if you're committed, you can actually hire somebody to coach you on Zoom in person. Go to a weekend Rubik's Cube retreat. There are three-year-old kids that do this in seconds. Now, some people have natural propensities. I got it. But everybody can learn how to do it.

So the first thing is whatever goal you have, don't confuse the fact that you may not have the knowledge and skill how to do it with it's not doable. Right. Two completely different stories.
