Good morning and welcome to the Increase Your Impact Podcast. I'm Justin Sue, episode 9,000, I'm sorry, 1,922. I want to share with you something that actor Matthew McConaughey said. And he talked about creating your identity, finding who you are, the best version of yourself, by eliminating people and places that do not

bring the best out of you. And he goes on to call it an identity elimination diet. He says that you need

to eliminate who you are not first and you're going to find yourself where you need to be. For instance,

do you hang out with people who constantly gossip? Do you keep going to places yourself where you need to be. For instance, do you hang out with people who constantly gossip?

Do you keep going to places that make you feel terrible the next morning? If those people and places

don't bring out the best in you, quit giving them your time and energy. He says, get rid of the

excess. Get rid of the wasted time. Decrease your options. If you do this,

you will have accidentally, almost innocently, put in front of you what is most important to you by

process of elimination. Close quote. Now this comes from the great book hidden genius by polina pompliano

and i love that an elimination diet a lot of times and you're going to hear this pretty soon we're

going to talk about a reflection on the year and a question i love to ask is what do you need to stop

doing and we're going to come back to this in a couple of days

that's all matthew mccanay is saying who do you need to stop hanging around and what places do you need to

stop going and this can go also what thoughts do you what what things do you need to stop watching

things you need to stop listening to all those things are part of your content diet. And the people you're around,

the places you go and the things you listen to will affect how you view yourself and can help

you become the best version of yourself or hinder you from that. And so my question to you is,

what do you need to start eliminating? What do you need to eliminate?

Only you could answer that question.

Have a great day.

And we'll do it again next time.
