Hey everyone and welcome back to BU with BU.

Today's episode is a training Brian did at a live event in 2022 about how life doesn't give us

limits. It gives us Legos. And it's up to you to decide what you build with them.

Check out episode 87 of BU with BU. Assembly required.

Lego's come in a box, and it's just pieces.

But in order to create something, assembly is required. Assembly is required. And so, you know, think about the

world today. There's so much noise. There's so much room for competition and comparison that it's

easy to get into our heads. And the more competitive it becomes, the more critical

people become. And by the way, the more successful you become, the more criticized you become.

The reason I'm sharing this with you is because I believe life is Legos. And it's a truth.

Like I see my kids playing all time, and they get jealous of what the other person is building.

Sometimes they get mad and they tear up the other ones because they feel like that they stole their Lego or whatever.

And it's a lot like that in life.

We've always heard, like, and I see it, you start having success, and there's,

there is a pattern that happens. Oh, you can't do it. People trying to prevent you from it.

And when you start on that journey and that path of progress, people are going to be scared.

People are going to be competitive with you. And have grace for them. Sometimes it's going to be our loved ones. Because when you grow,

if they're not, guess what? It's easier to pull someone back down to that comfort level rather than

raise yourself. Because remember, when you start raising yourself up to a higher standard, it becomes

uncomfortable. Human nature, we want to stay comfortable in our box. We've lived our

life in a box. We sleep in a box. We get up and get in a box. We drive to our box. We open up our box.

Everything's about a box. And in that box, we become comfortable, wherever your box is.
