so it's a fundamental belief pattern around whether you're born with intelligence and talents and they are fixed or whether no no we all have some talent and intelligence but they're actually malleable and you can improve them all the problem is most of the way we grow up we're getting the wrong messages from our teachers from our parents from our environment correct

And then your brain kicks in and you've got what? You hear different numbers, but I don't think anybody thinks that there's less than a one in five ratio. So for every one negative thing I say to you, I'm gonna have to say five positive things to balance it out. I heard a study that said one in 17. So it's like, we all get it.

Like one painful, you're not good enough comment is really hard to overcome with a lot of you're good enough. So the mind goes to these survival mechanisms to keep you alive, which I'll say oftentimes means keeping you small. If you don't take it seriously, that people think that you're doing something wrong, and if you don't back off, there were times where that would have been deadly.

Now, you just get in these negative loops. You get in a negative loop, and people have taught you that, hey, it's just what you're born with, and you get this death spiral of, this is who I am, and I'm never gonna be any better, And so you don't have what I call the only belief that matters. The only belief that matters is that you can improve. That's it.

So it's like if somebody goes- It's pretty simple. It is deadly simple. And it's why it's the only belief that matters. Because if you don't think you can improve, why would you put in the effort to get better? Because if you believe that you will get nothing out of that, there really is no point to putting in the time and the energy to improve.

Whereas if you believe, whoa, the time and energy that I put into getting better, I'll actually be rewarded with skills. And as a doctor, you're gonna understand this immediately, but this is one thing that I think people really struggle to understand. They think that skills are about checking a box or pleasing your parents.

Skills are about, in the case of a doctor, being able to save somebody's life, going from C diff and thinking, whoa, I'm actually going to die from this to no, no, no. I understand this well enough. I have a skill set that allows me to figure this out. And now I can reverse all of that. So skills are insanely powerful.
