It was the acceptance or rejection from your neighbors, from the elders.
And because if they kicked you to the fringe, the wild's too wild.
So we've got this whole mechanism in our brain to scan the world and find the dangerous things.
That's survival.
And what is most dangerous?
What you think of me.
And this is why public speaking is so dangerous for so many people.
It's not actually physically dangerous.
It's dangerous to this perceived survival mechanism.
Because if they say, the Scaramucci guy, like, get him out of here.
Never again.
Well, then quickly we go to like, oh, what do I do with my life?
And I haven't found my people.
And like, is my business going to survive or whatever the narrative might be.
And once you become aware of it,
that that is the guiding dictum, you give yourself a chance to work with it.
And the way we work with it is to use our attention to focus on the signal as opposed to the noise.
So the noise is what everyone's thinking, potentially, and the signal is your ability to bring your very best to the situation, to bring your best part of yourself forward.
that's what masters are able to do.
Masters of self and masters of craft.
