I don't know if you know this, but effort is not genetic.

effort's not genetic bro like consistency is not inherited like you didn't get that from your parents like you can make a decision to nurture those things right now did you know that you can nurture humility like if you had this idea that you're like you know i was born prideful i was born with an ego sure i'll give it to you but that does not mean that you cannot nurture humility you can nurture vision

You can nurture hope.

Yeah.

There's actually a book by a guy by the name of Charles Snyder.

He had a book come out in the year 2000 called The Handbook of Hope.

And he had some very, very interesting research around hope.

He suggested that hope is one of the strongest predictors of long-term success, resilience, and well-being.

Not talent.

Not background.

So if nature has been kind to you, great.

Leverage that.

But if nature has not been on your side, you are not stuck.

Because nurture is powerful.

Nurture is intentional.

And the thing that I love the most about mother nurture is that it's available to anyone willing to practice it.

Here's the deal.

Mother Nature may start the story, but Mother Nurture helps write the ending.

And that's good news for all of us.

My friends, thank you so much for listening to the Ryan Lee Podcast.
