Be Adventurous, Creative and Open-Minded

FREE YOURSELF FROM THE MATRIX
Carol Dweck -> Mindset book
Everyone builds their self-esteem about something
 -> Something makes you feel good
 -> Ex: Being the smartest person in the room!
 -> What makes you feel GOOD but making you delayed, making you just a big fish in a little pond.
- Syndrome of the weak = the fragile try to be smarter and desperate to be win
- Every decision and belief is moving toward my goals (even it's painful and difficult) or moving away from my goals
3 things to move out of matrix
- No longer need to be RIGHT! (to build my self esteem)
- Identify the right answers what put me toward my goals
   -> Put all my energy behind those answers
The stories we are telling ourselves are REALLY IMPORTANT -> the little voice in your mind!

BECOMING A JEDI 
 -> means pushing the limits of human potential beyond what people think is possible
 -> Train somebody who will view the world the same way I view -> Your own man can make their own decisions

ABOUT PEOPLE IN BUSINESS
 -> I have securitires
 -> Dan Ariely is a behaviorist. Book: Predictably Irrational and The Upside of Irrationality
     => Ex: People protecting a dumb idea because of their self esteem BUT they don't know that what they are doing
 -> Businesses are built on PEOPLE and People have all these WEIRD BUGS in the system.

VULNERABILITY
 -> Dr. Brene Brow talking about the VULNERABILITY
 -> Human wants to connect with authentic people. They distrust the most are the ones that thay can't understand their motives
       => They will feel resistant + unknown + unease
 -> Human are social animals -> We've got to be able to bond and connect with other people
   -> Talk to them honestly by your trutful self
 -> It's all about HUMAN HUMAN HUMAN!

SETTING GOALS - SET THE BAR HIGH
 - Goals are critical. 
 - What would you be reading about even it's neutral.
 - What would you be doing if you didn't need to do it
 - What you've turned to for pleasure when you've got free time
 - I like to be LOVED => So you get ALL IN! if you like SOMETHING -> Make it the CENTRAL OF YOUR LIFE

WHAT NOT TO DO
 - Having the wrong goal
 - Simple great question: "What would you do everyday that you would love even you're failing !?" 

THE DISCIPLINE OF EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGY
 - Aim to discover how the evolution of the human mind shaped the way we think and act
 - Why passion makes you better at something
   -> It gives you result, energy
 - Big goals make you excited and scare you

DESPERATION + PASSION
 - "a truly desperate man is a man to watch" -> Desperate people will do the craziest shit to get out of their situation.
 - HOW HARD a desperate man work
 - "Don't try to change the world unless you seek change the way a man whose head is on fire seeks a pond."
 -> You want to be happy -> be around family -> How's about opposite -> Take you away from your family but it makes you full of joy, optimistic, visionary
 - Trick people to do what they're not to do but it's good for them!
 - Video game = a trick for your brain => make somethin obsessive like the video game

 - Change human being together
 - Food science - never calling attention + assasing all tasks
 - Let people shine

NO SYMPATHY
 - I don't want sympathy -> Do not get one the knee with me. Stay standing. Offer me a hand. Brush me off. Paint me a vision. Rebuild my sense of confidence.
 - Get out of the DARK MOOD -> Write a letter to your self -> Laugh out loud + Fake a smile
 - If it's moving yourself toward your goal -> You can be axious,
 - Don't be a slave for anything ....

ALL ABOUT MONEY -> maybe Wrong!
 - The way to connect with people = TO BE AUTHENTIC + TO BRING VALUE TO THEIR LIVES

TO ADD VALUE
- To know so much about product or service to bring the value to people' lives
- Money is less motivating the more you get of it
 => Find the mission, the money will follow.

KEEP MOVING FORWARD, even YOU'RE DOWN
- Motivation is not a limited resource
 => Make your motivation strong enough. What reason get you out of bed? out of comfort zone?
 => PAIN vs PLEASURE => Vision: you will have 6 packs -> Motivate you go to the gym => Focus on the PROCESS, focus on the RESULTS

BREAK DOWN THE GOALS
- Break the goal into steps
- Stop checking emails
- Go through the list = the workout of your mind
- BOSS -> Set objectives. Either:
 1. Tell you what to do?
 2. How to do it? 
 -> Don't make your employee a puppet -> Don't let other people tell you how and what you should be doing
- Don't let other small stuff become your distraction.

PREPARE YOUR MIND + EMOTION => PREPARE YOUR PHYSICAL THINGS

MENTAL SKILLS = Being able to control my own emotions + Guide the emotions of others

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
- Lift weight + Do cardio
- My body is an exact representation of how important it is to me

READING IS SO IMPORTANT
- Listen to book always!
- ideas in -> ideas out
- Making unique connection of ideas
- Stoicism

AFFECTED FILMS
- THE MATRIX - Codifying is the act of taking sort of abstract notions and making them very concrete -> Codify the feeling for me the feeling that I had that I was lost that my life could be different BUT I just didn't know how to make it true
. Something is stopping me and then it showed me the path that I was self-limiting.
