Yeah, very, very common. So in addition to having networks that turn on or off in our brain, we have associations. Some people might know what I'm talking about, some may not. Some people, when they drink alcohol, they like to have a cigarette. They're associated, right? Some people, you know, after sex, they like to have a cigarette. And I'm not a smoker.

And I don't drink anymore anyway because I used to drink too much and used all the neuroscience to stop. We have associations. And so sometimes when we have a bad or negative or destructive habit, it happens. like you said, has like a house of cards effect. It affects other things. And it's very, very normal because neural pathways in the brain are all connected together.

Every brain cell has about 7,000 connections to other brain cells. But the cerebellum part of our brain has up to 100,000. So if there's a habit, you know, a good habit, let's say around money or around success, and all of a sudden that is shattered, it is connected to so many more other areas in our brain that it kind of like activates them.

And if we don't have the mental and emotional control we need, then they can be like a runaway train. So very, very normal. And because we're human, we can learn, right? It's almost like, have you ever heard of the deadliest catch TV show?

So you see these like hardened sailors, right? And to be a captain of a ship on those, you know, those ships, those seas, you've got to be like the best of the best in the world, right? So you're not going to, you know, make it out of a 50 foot swell with undercurrents, with 10,000 pounds of ice, you know, on your boat with skimpy dressed, you know, crew.

And then the engine just broke and you discover there's a hole in the hull, right? It's only for the seasoned veterans. So why do I start off with that? Well, because life is all about that. So we have these sunny days where we could feed the seagulls as a fisherman with our t-shirts, and we have these days where, holy shit, death is at our door.

And what happens in our lives is these are the tests. Okay, to get extra stripes from your five foot wave, to your 10, to your 15, to your 20, to your 30, to your 40. I have been where you just experienced so many times in my 44 years of being in business, that now when it happens, it's like a storm. I know the mindset. I know the emotional regulation.

I know the resourcefulness that I have to become, you know, in the absence of resources. And so these are the stripes we get. But the question becomes, is it the condition, the thing that's happening, or is it my responsiveness or reaction to it?

untrained people, they say, oh my God, this isn't working, and that's not working, and we're running out of money, and, and, and, and, and, and, negative, negative, negative, negative, negative. creates negative state, creates a destructive, right? Coherence pattern, right?

And so when we have a destructive interference or coherence pattern, then we not only see and feel and think and behave in those terms, that's what shows up in our environment because of resonant matching. So here's what a trained captain of his life does. I am aware of the conditions, the circumstances, and the stuff.
