| 0:00.0 | Good morning, guys. Welcome to the Increasing Reimpec podcast. Justin Sua here, episode 1779. The mind is incredibly powerful. And it is so powerful that it could |
| 0:13.1 | nudge you to experience certain emotions. Now, if I told you to make yourself happy, chances are you'd be able to do it or you'd be able to try to do it. |
| 0:24.1 | If I asked you to stress yourself out, you'd be able to, should be able to do it, make yourself mad. |
| 0:29.8 | There would be a very specific thing you would do in order to spark those respective emotions. |
| 0:37.7 | And what you do is you'd go into your memory bank, |
| 0:40.3 | you jump into that mental time machine, |
| 0:42.7 | and you'd take yourself back to a moment that made you mad, |

| 1:45.9 | Now, I understand that the context might be different. The people in your life then might not be in your |
| 1:51.4 | life now. You're a different age. The circumstances were completely different. However, |
| 1:56.3 | there were certain things that you did back then that you can do right now. And the big lesson is that |
| 2:03.8 | you've overcome hard things before. You are the person you are today, not just because of the |
| 2:09.3 | things you've achieved, but because of the things that you've overcome. You are resilient. You are |
