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.
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.

Well, let's say, you know, I have a soul. I call it, you know, I am spiritual, this intelligence in me. And I have other faculties like emotions. I have a mindset that I could focus. Right? And I have this physical body that moves into action or procrastinates or self-centered, whatever it does, right? I can say to my body, you know, right now, jump, Tom, and I could jump.

I can say, move your arms right and left, and I could do that deliberately. But that's not how our bodies work. Our bodies work based on the conditioned, subconscious programming that we've had since birth. But let's see us wiping the slate clean. We say, okay, If I was committed to a new level of success, a new level of me, is it possible? Let's start with, is it possible if I was committed?

And let's say we say, I guess it's possible. I may not know how, but is it possible? Yep, it's possible. We say, okay, if I wanted to start using my brain better and knowing what we know about the brain, what would be the process? Well, the first thing I would say is, why don't we Come up with a vision of what you would love your life to be like. And let's break it up into career or business.

What results would you love? Health. And I like to break down health into spiritual, emotional, mental, physical. Financial health you could put there too if you want. So health, physical, we could put wealth separately. Relationships, charity, fun and experiences. Say, if I could wave a magic wand, I could design the life of my dreams, what would it look like?

Now, let's assume that that's the end destination. Like, we're going to go on a trip together. We want to go to Antarctica? Great. Let's get some pictures of Antarctica.

Let's say that's the destination we want to get to in a year or two or three. That's like the ideal state. Now we come back and we, okay, that's kind of like the vision. Then we say, okay, here's where I am today. Here's my current reality. My reality is my reality. This is what is now. Whatever is now is not because of what you just did this second.
