And it might be you're lazy getting out of bed in the morning.

And a way to improve your position is start to learn something new in that one hour.

Instead of that film crew watching you lay and roll around in bed on your phone for an hour and a half before you get out of bed, it's all of a sudden you're getting up, you're learning something new, you're challenging yourself, or maybe you're just going for a walk.

I think that there's always something we can do to better our position.

There's never a moment where I don't think can do that.

And that's not to say it should dictate your entire life either, but yes.

When you were saying that, the thing that came to mind for me was one of the reasons we have trouble improving our position is because we want it improved now.

Yes.

And it's the same element of human nature that exists everywhere.

I have another one of those little catchphrases I use in these moments, which is a lack of patience changes the outcome.

A lack of patience changes the outcome.

By wanting something faster than naturally, like we often know how to accomplish the things we want to accomplish, but they take longer than we would like, or we're starting later in life than we would like.

And so what we seek in these moments is like, I'm behind, we feel behind.

It's an unconscious feeling and we want to catch up.

So if you're out of position, you want to catch up.

What are you going to do?

You're going to chase secrets.

You're going to chase hacks.

You're going to chase quick fixes because you want to get there rapidly.

You want the real estate course that's going to make you a success.
