As Oprah Winfrey said, what you dwell on is what you become.

Once you understand that humans are the ultimate adaptation machine and you understand that the brain actually builds faster and better connections between the things that you think on you will begin to understand that it is incredibly important to be thoughtful about what you think about.

It's incredibly important to pick a direction that you want to grow and to decide who you want to become and then make that the center of your focus, your thoughts, your time, your energy.

And if you look inward or if you look outward and you don't like what you see, remember what Jim Roan said.

If you don't like how things are, change it. You're not a tree.

And that's the beauty.

That's the beautiful thing about being a human. We are so plastic and we can change so dramatically. We are so good at adapting that we forget. That's literally what we do.

But if you can take control of that process, if you can grab a hold of it and make it your own, if you can make it your daily obsession to make the most of your potential to pick a very specific direction, to pick an end goal, an end state, an end identity and work your way backwards.

Find out the steps that you're going to need to take to get there to execute and have the willingness to put in the work, to have the willingness to be both the sculptor and the clay, to understand that the suffering that comes with that, of changing yourself, of making yourself into something great.

Is the suffering well-working?

It's a suffering that you should embrace. It's a suffering that you should run towards because in that suffering, you can become anything you want.

So start to dwell on that. Dwell on a vision of you being great. Dwell on a vision of you accomplishing your goals. Dwell on a vision of you having done this amazing thing that you want to do. Dwell on an image of you being willing to sweat and bend yourself and have fun.

And break if need to and believe when necessary to become the vision of yourself you always knew you could become. Dwell on that and nothing can stop you.
