0:00.0	You are listening to the Life Coach School Podcast with Brook Castillo episode number 147.
0:07.7	Welcome to the Life Coach School Podcast, where it's all about real clients,
0:13.3	real problems, and real coaching. And now your host, Master Coach Instructor Brook Castillo.
0:20.6	So today we are talking about resilience, part two, remember it's a four-part series,
0:32.4	and in this specific one we are talking about quitting. I love the quote, it's a slow process,
0:41.8	but quitting won't speed it up. So one of the things that we are working really hard on in self-coaching
0:52.6	scholars is making commitments, increasing our confidence, increasing our resilience.
1:00.0	There are a very small percentage of people that utilize those skills in order to create the
1:09.3	results they want in their lives. Most people wait to see what happens to them. Most people,

1:55.4	to evolve to that next level. I've never been good in history. It's just never been my thing.
2:01.7	But I was reading about how we really got to evolving when we developed a language.
2:09.6	And I thought this was so fascinating because think about it. We used to be born and
2:17.3	we could be taught things that would make us more efficient. So if you're born and you can't
2:24.8	be taught anything, you have to figure everything out for the first time. So it's like, oh, if you
2:29.7	figure out how to make a fire, then you can teach that baby how to make a fire. And so as soon as
2:36.3	we got language, then not only could we teach by demonstrating, but we could teach by talking,
