And we get so... reactive to what's happened to us out there and the circumstances we most of us think that the circumstances are the one dictating our lives and according to what you say it's not like that right
4:06
No, not at all.
4:07
I mean, a lot of people think that the world happens to you, but those who seem to get ahead and have an advantage in life, they believe that the world does it for you.
4:22
And it's a completely different perspective.
4:25
And I know this quite intimately in the fact that the first 40 years of my life, I was the guy who the world was doing it to me.
4:35
And I had my coach said one of the most challenging things to get me through was getting out of victim.
4:46
And it was like I had this victim mentality such as I was unlucky, things don't work for me, people don't like me.

i had this really warped idea which was you know i was always had a good work culture and you know i would work get there earlier, leave there later, and put in a lot of good, strong effort in my day.

And I had this crazy idea that to earn double your salary, you had to do double the time.
4:00
And, you know, although, you know, you and listeners would realize get that that's a really dumb idea.
4:07
It's incredible how many dumb ideas we can have sticking in our neurology that really hold us up.
4:12
So from that perspective, I went for the $80,000 plus job because my self-esteem was at that level.
4:21
And the biggest breakthrough for me was I studied very, very deeply metaphysics, psychology, and what is the difference between a wealthy mindset and a poor mindset.
