Beliefs are software.

The things that causes me to be afraid is because of the memory software that triggers the fear circuit.

So I am not

my identity, but I do have one.

And so an upgraded level of being is aligning my identity

with the person I want to become now.

And then practicing that on a day by day basis, which means I have to, I have to learn how to regulate my focus because my focus wants to be my old self.

I have to learn how to regulate my emotions because when I'm becoming something different, something new, something better, something grander, there's going to be resistance.

And that means that fear might creep in.

That might mean that self-doubt creeps in.

That might mean that uncertainty creeps in, self-doubt creeps in.

And those are all perfectly normal emotions in a transition phase.

Now we haven't been taught how to manage focus.

We haven't been taught how to manage emotions.

And that's like saying, I have a beautiful million dollar car in my driveway, but I haven't been taught how to drive it.

And so we have this hundred billion dollar brain and we've never been taught the user's manual to get it out of park and into drive and use it properly.

And this has been the foundation of the work I've done for 45 years now is studying the neuro mechanics, you know, to how do I use my brain a little bit better?

And then how do I use that to be healthier, happier, to contribute more, to experience more, to love more, to give more, to receive more.

So I have a fuller life.

Yeah.
