0:00.0	So it's my job to go, okay, I do feel a bit scared of rejection, but hey, I'm just going to keep going anyway.
0:06.1	Nobody can reject me without my consent, and my consent is not given.
0:12.5	Procrastination is trying to protect you from failing, and you have a choice.
0:18.2	Give into it or talk yourself out of it.
0:22.2	You only ever have two choices.
0:24.3	I've got an amazing quote of yours that you broke down.
0:27.8	Thoughts dictate feelings.
0:29.4	Your feelings dictate your actions and your actions dictate your events.
0:33.8	But here's the thing.
0:34.9	We always focus on the feeling, not the thought. Yeah. But I love that you say everything stems from there. Yeah. So talk to me about that.
0:42.0	Because people say feelings come before thoughts. No, they don't. If I had a big plate of meat in front of you, what you think about that, it affects the feeling. If you're a vegan, it's disgusting for your bodybuilder. It's great. If I hold up a needle,

1:11.1	it's like, if everything starts with a thought, it's easier to change your thoughts and to
1:16.2	change your feelings. And if you just keep changing your thoughts, what happens is it actually
1:21.9	starts to change your entire life. So for instance, you might have a feeling. What is it? Is it scared or is it
1:29.6	excited? I don't know, because they feel exactly the same. If you watch someone on a roller
1:33.4	coast is screaming, are they scared? No, excited. They don't even know. But you get to choose to go,
1:38.6	I'm excited. I'm feeling great or I'm terrified and I'm falling apart.
1:45.0	And when you can start to think about what you're feeling
1:49.0	and decide to make it feel good, I'm feeling challenged,
