I want you to burn into your nervous system the following statement because it is a fundamental truth of the human condition.

It is literally the baseline physics of what it means to be a person.

As Earl Nightingale said,

we become what we think about.

And that's an idea that I want you to hold firmly in your mind.

That's something that I really want you to internalize.

I really want you to stop right now, whatever you're doing.

I want you to stop, lean into this video and listen to what I'm saying.

You will become what you think about.

Really think about that for a second as if it wasn't just a phrase, as if it's more than just words.

As if it were a truth about how the brain works because it is.

You're going to become the thing that you think about.

And I know that you're dwelling on a lot of negative shit.

I know that you're carrying a lot of baggage with you.

And I know that as you think about how things might go wrong, that you believe,

you believe to the core of your being that you're just planning for the hard times.

But the truth is you're going to become those things that you fear.

You're going to become the things that you dread.

If you're thinking about all the things that you've done long in the past,

you're going to simply continue that cycle.

But if on the other hand, and let this be true,

let this ring in your ears with the weight of everything that I carry.
