The mind stops barking at them.

It can calm it right down and they can actually focus on an action oriented item that they have control over.

And it starts to make them feel like they control the destination of their future.

Absolutely love that.

It's actually performance coaching, right?

So if you think about it, I'm not going to go in and understand why each of these individual humans looks to the past.

There is neuroscience that tells us this happens.

A therapist in that same situation would say,

What happened, Ryan, to you in your childhood that made it so that you really like to think about the past?

What makes you scared of pursuing your dreams in the future?

And I'm going to be like, oh, heck no.

Here's what we know.

We got neuroscience that tells us that innately as human beings, we need to feel safe.

And do you know what safety looks like?

It looks like the known.

And do you know the only thing that's known in our life is the past?

So why are people so blasted fixated at staring at their past?

Trying to recreate a success they previously had?

Because it feels safe because it feels known.

But the only thing that is as humans gets us exhilarated is gets us excited, gets us like pumped and live in life is actually progressing into the unknown future.
