And my job, for me, like this is for me, to discover more of how to do that. And that's what I've been studying for 40, literally 40, 45 years now. That's what's taken me deep into the neuromechanics of understanding how does my brain work so that I could use it better.

But as I had many challenges when I was younger in life, between 13 and 19, where I was involved in street gangs, robberies, drugs, selling them, using them, alcohol. I mean, you name it. You know, I did it as a kid. I started to learn around getting my mindset right from a mentor who was very, very well read.

Because of him, I was able to build my first company with 1,200 salespeople, 85 offices, and $4.5 billion in real estate sales a year because of that, from a kid who left high school grade 11 and failed English and math. So I get the shift. The first part... of this, and I'm so happy you realized you're not your thoughts. We have thoughts.

6,200.
Not 50 or 25,000 or something like that. 6,200 is the new scientific fact for now. Unfortunately, most people have 80% of their thoughts are negative. That's 5,000 negative thoughts a day. Most people have 5,000 negative thoughts a day. Focus on the negative thoughts and they reinforce those. And they don't refocus on, you know, let's say the 1,200 positive ones.

They focus on the negative ones and they reinforce more negative ones. And as a result, 90% of their thoughts this week will be the same next week because they're reinforced thoughts. But let's see if we can wipe the slate clean. And we can say, okay, I'm not my thoughts, I'm not my brain, I'm not my heart, I'm not my liver, my lungs, my body, or anything like that.
