Summary
On this episode, Rob explores an important thesis with respect to the mind. Our entire existence is both experienced and controlled by the mind. And he believes that the mind operates on 4 different levels, which determine our experience in the world. The present state of your mind on this spectrum affects your decision-making, your reaction to outside stimuli, your discipline, and many other factors.
Level 1 - The Reactive Mind: The state of only dealing with what comes at you, trying to get through the day. Not making any substantial progress but treading water, so as not to fall behind. This state zaps your energy the fastest with little to show for it but survival.
Level 2 - The Aware Mind: You at least have an idea of what you need to do in order to be proactive and move your life and goals forward, but taking action is still hit or miss.
Level 3 - The Proactive Mind: You are actually doing the things you need to do to push your goals forward. Pushing through in a deliberate way to achieve your goals. The work is hard, but it delivers results.
Level 4 - The Magnetic Mind: The holy grail of mind states. The answers are being drawn right to you, and the execution feels effortless. Maintaining this elusive mind state allows you to evolve your existence on a significantly higher level.

| 1:06.2 | And, you know, today, you know, I've been really thinking about the power of the mind and |
| 1:11.9 | trying to break down the mind in as many different ways as possible because it's so important |
| 1:19.0 | to constantly be thinking about, you know, figuring out ways to understand what you're thinking, |
| 1:26.0 | why you're thinking it and how it is affecting your overall |

| 2:35.5 | And really even enjoying the present moment at a really high level ultimately is based off of, you know, your ability to experience it to the fullest through your mind and the clarity you have on the moment you're |
| 2:52.1 | there and what you're actually feeling, right? And for me, you know, I'm like anyone else, |
