There are a lot of things that come to play whenever we're trying to change things about

ourselves or advance or increase the quality of some part of our life, maybe our personal

life or professional life, if we're trying to rewrite certain habits to shift ourselves

into a way of being that we desire, that we feel would increase our happiness and would

bring our higher selves forward. There's a lot of different things that influence the outcomes

of those pursuits, but one of the ones that I have found is the most powerful and important

on social media or something like that, you're like, oh, yeah, well, of course, look at all these

people out there doing what they want to do, but I can't do that. I have to live in this box.

But it's not true at all. You can do that as well, right? And yet, our minds often have a habit of

telling us that we can't. The reason that we have those thoughts, regardless of whatever our

motivation is, is because we're designed on a animal level to seek safety.

You know, our mind doesn't really care and our body, but particularly our lower brain that's

like our animal brain. It doesn't really care if we're happy. It doesn't care if we feel fulfilled.

It doesn't care if we have as many followers as we want or whatever the thing is for, you know,
