They keep going.

They don't tell you about their losses.

You only hear about their successes.

But it turns out the successful people are the ones who are more persistent.

So it turns out that if you could unlock that motivation to do those hard things and to do it joyfully, to not mind to do them, wow, that unlocks so much possibility in your relationships, in your business, in all aspects of life.

And how do we do that?

We use our beliefs.

This is what's so fascinating is that your beliefs can actually become your biology.

Now, not in some kind of metaphysical, magical way.

There's no magic here whatsoever.

It's that when we change our beliefs...

We do things differently.

I'll give you a great example of how your beliefs can become your biology.

We now know that your beliefs at age 30 about aging, if you have positive beliefs about aging at age 30, you will statistically, according to this study, live seven and a half years longer, okay?

To put that in perspective, seven and a half years longer, that's more than the effect of smoking,

That's more than the effect of a healthy diet.

That's more than the effect of exercise.

Is your beliefs about aging?

What does a positive view of aging sound like?

A positive view might be growth and change is possible at any age.
