If someone presents to you a solution that you're not ready to hear, it's a threat to your own identity.

And our identity is very important to us, who we are, our self-concept, what makes us us.

The only real question here is is how long do you want to let it take for you to

evolve? You're just robbing yourself of your new potential the longer you tape. Oh, What I want to start talking about is how your state of mind, your emotional well-being,

whether you feel prosperous, generous, or that things can happen for you

or not to you, how it impacts how you observe and see the world.

And then this will then inform the kind of decisions that you make.

Let me start by saying this in that I believe this, that there's this very narrow

sliver of what we would identify as objective truth.

It's tiny where it could be verified by a lot of different people and say, you know, according to science or measurements the data, this is the objective truth.

What's happening is an objective thing happens and we interpret through our very subjective lens and we tell ourselves a story about what's going on.

And that lens is largely influenced by our emotional state, how we feel inside.

So I give you an example.

If you are parking somewhere when your meter runs out and the meter made comes up to you and starts writing you a ticket. You might feel like

yo man I just need some some slack here brother why are you such a bad person like

your job is like ruined people's lives in their day.

This is kind of unjust and unfair.

And that's how you might record it in your brain.

When we know objectively, the meter doesn't lie you are at fault here because you didn't

put enough in the meter and you overstayed such that your time had expired.

Objectively speaking this person's job is to make money for the city so that they can have the funding to do what they need to do.

This is how one way that the cities make money, so their job is to write a ticket for anyone who violates the rules.
