That which you do not hate, you will eventually tolerate.

I think that identifies most people's lives.

In other words, average becomes sort of like this slowest fixation.

It's almost like an anesthetic.

And that over time, we become kind of immune and dulled to the average that we're becoming.

You're going to get out of your life what you'll accept.

That's really difficult for people I think to understand.

It's what you think you're worth and what you're going to tolerate is absolutely what you're going to bring into your life.

And what the outward part of your life is going to look like.

And so I live by that.

Like I let myself sort of feel the pain and the difficulty of being not where I want to be in whatever that area is.

Whether it's spirituality, my relationships, my money.

I let myself feel that pain because as you know, there's two motivators.

There's the gaining of pleasure.

Wanting to go get something chasing the dream.

But then there's the avoidance of pain.

And for a lot of champions, that's a pretty big driving force for them.

And so at least for me, I leverage both of those things on me to get myself to take action.

And I think any time you need somebody like yourself or myself who might now appear self-confident.

It's because I really had to find tools and resources because I was so insecure and shy and introverted.

So I had to find techniques and resources to build that up in me.

And for me, it's very simple. It's the promises that I keep to myself.
