And today is the last day to get your ticket to freedom live before the prices go up. So if you've been stuck in the same place for the past few years, I promise you it's probably not because of lack of talent or drive or potential. you're probably stuck because of your unconscious patterns that were built into you in childhood. And in three days at Freedom Live in Austin, Texas, we're gonna find them, we're gonna break them, and I'm gonna send you home with a 12-month plan to make 2027 the best year of your life. Once again, prices go up today.
So if you've been thinking about joining us, today's a great day to get your ticket. Go to freedomlive2026.com before the prices go up. Once again, freedomlive2026.com. And I cannot wait to see your face in Austin, Texas. Today, I'm going to talk about how to start over because starting over is one of the most powerful things that you can do because at some point you have to realize that you don't have to keep being the same person that you've always been. You don't have to keep the same habits. You don't have to keep the same beliefs or fears or patterns or even the same identity. You can change because so much of who you are today was created before you were old enough to consciously decide who you wanted to be.
but you're not that kid anymore. So you get to decide who you become from this point forward. And so today I'm gonna give you a five-step process to actually start over completely, and I'm gonna show you how to close the old chapter of who you've been living, and then how to actually start a new chapter intentionally writing the next one. So here's the frame I wanna give you to work for today's episode, okay? From the moment that you were born to right now, let's pretend that that was chapter one of your life. And to be honest with you, you didn't get to write most of chapter one. Most of it was written for you. You know, you picked up habits, you picked up fears, you picked up beliefs about yourself, about money, about love, about what people like you get to have.
So you learned how to handle conflict by watching the adults around you and how they handle conflict. You know, maybe they yelled, maybe they went silent for three days. Either way, you learned how to be you by watching adults be them. And so you have to understand a lot of what you picked up. I do want you to understand it is good. I'm not saying you have to change every aspect of you.
How do unconscious childhood patterns control my current decisions?
Some of the best parts about you, you learned from other people. But some of the stuff isn't the best parts about you. And for most people, those patterns that they have that they want to get rid of, they've been quietly like running their entire life. And those patterns, I see them like kind of like puppet masters, right? And honestly, we're the puppets. You're conscious, you're awake, you're making decisions all day long. But are you actually the one that's making them? You don't decide to be defensive when your partner criticizes you. It just happens. You don't decide to put off the hard phone call. It just happens. It's not you that's actually choosing them. It's the pattern that you picked up from childhood that's choosing them.
And Carl Jung has a famous line about this. And it says, until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate. It just runs your life and you just think that's the way that it is. But you have to understand for most of your life, you've been loyal to those patterns. Loyal is the key word, not because you pick the patterns. You're just loyal to them because they're familiar and familiar. is feels like, hey, this is just who I am, I guess. I guess this is just who I am. I guess I just am this type of person. And so what I want you to understand is chapter one is what happened to you and who you unconsciously built yourself into being. Chapter two needs to be written by you.
