It's so much easier to be a victim.

So that's the challenge.

But when you go against the grain and you just say, look, I take responsibility for anything that happens to me and I'm going to use it in a way that makes me better, your life changes and you become powerful.

And what my book was about is how do you shift reality?

You shift reality by taking responsibility.

And when you do that, reality starts to bend in the direction you want it to.

And I have a quote in the book that, and I do this on my emails too, average conforms to reality.

Oh, that's bad.

Everyone says it's bad.

Yeah, that's bad.

That's average, right?

Greatness creates a whole new reality.

What I like to do is when you focus on

a result.

At the beginning of the year, we should say, not just my intention to fix some part of me, but what do you want to create?

What do you want to create in your life?

Stop focusing on what you want to fix.

Nobody's broken here.

And so what I like to do at the beginning of the year is come up with

three, usually three or less, but big things I want to do during the year that would really be fun for no other reason that other than I just want to create that.
