Yeah, so solutions exist, but they don't exist for the people who are focusing on all the negative stuff and allowing their feelings to control their thinking and their focus and their awareness and their whining and bitching and complaining about the problem more than they're focusing on the solution when the solution exists.

My Neurogym, you know, is to help people understand that most of us, like, listen, my father was an alcoholic gambler, beat the shit out of me and my brother, not my sister. Money, like, he was no money at the end of every day because he'd go gamble it. I learned money was scarce. I learned, you know, that we were, you know, we were, we always had food on the table.

We always had roof over our heads, but my parents always fought about lack, scarcity, limitation.

about the human brain, and about me, and about you, and about all the different things that we've learned. And so it wasn't anybody's deliberate fault, but it was the society conditioning that caused us to think, feel, and believe certain things.

And either we were fortunate or led into this personal development arena, developing myself. In order to develop myself, I first have to understand a little bit more about myself, right?
