The most successful people in the world, the most successful business owners have had multiple failed businesses.

If that were the case, then they'd just be a failure forever, right?

Or like just because you had a hard day and you accidentally yelled at your kids, it doesn't mean that you're a bad parent.

There is behavior and there's identity.

Those are two separate things.

Do not ever let those two things mix.

right?

Because your brain is a meaning-making machine.

Suffering comes from the mind.

There's pain in this world, which is inevitable, and there's suffering, which is what happens in our mind.

Human beings do not suffer from events that happen to us.

We suffer from the meaning that we assign the events.

Because two people can have the exact same thing happen to them, and one of them creates a story about how this thing makes them who they are,

and the other creates a lesson from it.

One of them becomes smaller from it, one of them becomes wiser.

The event is identical, the interpretation

is the difference.

And that interpretation creates identity for a lot of people and it creates the future.

Once you get identity locked in, it is hard to get out of it.

The most important thing that you can do is continue to change your identity and get yourself free from your fears and limiting beliefs and everything that you believe about yourself until the day you die.
