Ever thought these thoughts?

"I can't make 10k today..."

"I won't be able to do this."

"I am not good at speaking."

"I will never become one of the top performers in my field."

"This is possible for them but not for me."

Your brain is lying to you. These thoughts are lying to you.

I just spent a week with a group of entrepreneurs who had all the reasons and who knew what they could and could not do.

The only problem with that was, it was MADE UP.

The brain is a product of survival, and its function is to keep us safe, not to have us win at the games we choose.

It creates a narrative in which we get the sense that we KNOW how things are and what is possible for us, as it would be way too much for us to constantly see everything that would be possible in REALITY.

What people at the retreat got to see was that when they stepped out of what they knew (the story the brain had created) and into reality (the place where actions create what is possible and what is not), they saw how, if they took the actions necessary to create what they wanted, they would get it.

"Take what you want and pay for it, says God. You can have anything you want, as long as you accept that there is a price and you will have to pay it."

Now, the price for most things we want is to be momentarily uncomfortable.

You might feel as if you die, as your self-concept will be protected the same way your body would be protected.

Only that nothing bad happens. Someone might say, "I don't like it," yet you act as if this would kill you.

One person got a quarterly income in 2h. And in reality what it took is that they asked for it. The price?
Doing something they had never done before and being uncomfortable for a couple of minutes.

Someone else created a new retreat. What did it take? Asking.

More crazy stories where created this week, only that they aren't really crazy, they came out of challenging the ideas of our safety seeking brain and testing things in reality through action.

Every time you hear yourself say, "I know" or "I am like, not like," I can't."
Know that this is an assumption designed to keep you safe or simply save the energy it would take our brain to make a new calculation about reality.

Human beings are extremely powerful.

They can learn anything. You can quit your job today and build a 7 figure business. What it will take is you taking the actions that lead to it.

What will be in the way is all your ideas about yourself and the world that will prevent you from doing it.

Thats it.

After 20 years in a relationship, you can be in love as in the first week. What will it take?

You not accepting the ideas that it won't be like it and acting on the idea that it can be like this.

We think we see reality when in fact we mostly see what our brain calculates as save enough to survive.

If you go beyond your knowing and into the world of reality, where you know what is possible by testing it through actions, you discover just how powerful you really are.

Be bold, be courageous and discover that mostly nothing bad happens when you go for what you really want.
