#465 – Robert Rodriguez: Sin City, Desperado, El Mariachi, Alita, and Filmmaking

I said, well, you're going to go back to smoking because you just told me your identity is a smoker. So right now you're a smoker who's not smoking. What's going to happen eventually? You have to say I'm a non-smoker. You know, like just that lesson I had forgotten. You have to say, I'm a non-smoker. I'm a non-smoker. What does a non-smoker do? If you believe you're a non-smoker, you hate smoke.

#465 – Robert Rodriguez: Sin City, Desperado, El Mariachi, Alita, and Filmmaking

I go, shit, I forgot about my own. I wonder where in my life I could apply that. Working out. Of course. My God, I hate working out. No wonder I am so miserable. I'll tell my trainer and anyone who will listen. I can't stand working out. I don't understand sports. So that day I said, I'm an athlete. I'm an athlete. That's the last thing I would ever call myself all through my entire life.

This was 2012. I'm an athlete. By the next day, not only did my life completely change, and it's easier if it's opposite day. Like if you're just doing it by degrees, that's bullshit. You got to go complete opposite. Because if there's like a donut, if you say, well, I'm going to only eat half of it, you got to go, no, I'm going to get an apple. Opposite is much easier.

An athlete loves working out. An athlete will make time to work out and they'll eat right. I was, I would never be the person that would call themselves an athlete, but that's how much it can change your life by changing your identity. So if you want to be more creative, you've already got that in your, that desire. You've got enough of that. You don't need more desire. You need more identity.
