And real quick, before I go any further, when I say become obsessed, I don't mean like divorce your wife and not pay attention to your children.

I'm talking about become obsessed because their lives will all become better when you become obsessed with who you're becoming.

So like, what would it look like if you brought that level of focus to your life?

What would have happened to your future, like your future self, if you became the person that you couldn't stop thinking about?

Like, what would that be like?

What would happen if your identity and your vision and your standards and your mission all just became louder than your fears?

And we will be right back.

And now, back to the show.

Because whether you realize it or not, like your brain is always practicing the future.

And so you've got to just ask yourself, which future is it predicting?

Is it going into your default mode?

Because your default mode is not neutral.

You realize that?

Your default mode, which is when you look at the way that the brain works, 5% of our cognitive processing is our conscious mind, which is the part of your mind that wants to succeed and wants something different.

And 95% of it, which is your default mode, is your old patterns, old limiting beliefs, old identities.

Those are not neutral.

Like your default mode is your current life, your current fears and current excuses and current emotional addictions and your current patterns that you're stuck in, your current way of seeing yourself.

And so if you do not become obsessed with who you're becoming,

and become obsessed with what you're building in your life, then you will always fall back into who you've always been because that is your default mode because your brain is extremely efficient and it loves to fall back to what is familiar.

Your brain loves patterns and we are literally just a bunch of patterns is all that we are.
