This is what they knew.
This is what afforded them a good life.
They want you to have a good life and they want you to feel safe and secure.
So they're not telling you to do that much more than what they did because they don't really know how it's going to end up or they're
Maybe they do want you to go above and beyond what they did.
But above and beyond is never start a business and figure it out.
It's go become a lawyer, go become a doctor, go become an engineer.
Because these, again, are like safe and secure.
So all these ideas that are taught to us at a young age, they stick with us.
And we don't even understand, but all these ideas in our subconscious, they're running on repeat in the background without us even thinking of them almost our entire lives.
And how that plays out when you're older is the job you take, the city you live in, the risk you take, the person you marry, the friends you have.
All these parts of your life are basically chosen because of someone else's belief system that has been implanted into you.
And I think that sometimes we don't even realize that we didn't really consciously choose the job that we're doing, the person we're with, the hobbies that we have.
We've just sort of understood that these are the things that we should do.
All the people, bringing it back to your question, who are successful, they have belief in themselves, but they also make sure that the dream that they're chasing is truly theirs, not like a dream that their parents put into their head when they were very young.
And when they realize that the dream that they actually want to go after is theirs and theirs alone, and they have this delusional self-belief and they can pursue this dream with just 100% conviction.
Does that make sense?
100%.
They almost like reprogram themselves to remove any kind of limitations, which allows them to do whatever the hell they want to do.
Because nobody wakes up in the morning and says, I'm going to build Netflix.
