Where are you self-sabotaging in ways that you might not currently be aware of? And simply starting to think about answering that question will allow that subconscious self-sabotage to see the sunlight ofyour attention and your awareness. As you know from my Three Step Success Formula, with better awareness of where you're self-sabotaging, you can make better daily choices. And with better daily choices, you are certain to see better daily results. Better awareness. better choices, better choices, better results. And that's the power of even asking yourself great questions. You can start to become more aware. And with that greater awareness, I'll put it to you this way, as you know better, you can do better. So we all have the responsibility to live our genius. I believe we have a call on our lives to go out there in our work and in our personal lives to show up at our best. And when we escape by distraction, by medication, when we escape by too much alcohol, when we escape by gossip, when we escape by too much entertainment, when we escape by sleeping too much, when we escape by being busy being busy versus getting in the game and doing work that causes you to be the Picasso of what you do, you're not only betraying the best within you, you're not only missing a chance to lift other people up. around you by showing people what's possible. You're creating pain because potential unexpressed turns to pain. I'm gonna repeat that again because it's so important. Potential unexpressed turns to pain. And if you look at why so many people self-medicate, whether it is with too much alcohol or drugs or too much TV or too much digital devising or too much sleep or too much gossip or too many excuses, those are all medications. Those are all flights. from your greatness.And as you start to do that self mastery work that I so believe in, because your outer life is a reflection of your inner life, you wanna upgrade your outer world, upgrade your inner world, the four interior empires, mindset, hearts, that health set and soulset, that are such a core of my work. Well, when you do that, your outer life cannot help but rise with you, because your income and your impact always follows your self identity. in your personal glory.And as you become more intimate, not with your egoic self, but with your heroic self, you start to remember who you truly are. You start to enter the magic Mr. Riley talks about in The 5AM Club. You start to see, not through your visual bias, your perceptual filter, your lens through which you see the world, you start to see the truth. All of the great saints, all of the wisest amongst us, they talked a lot about the truth. See the truth. What do they mean? I believe what they mean is this. Almost everyone on the planet, unless you're enlightened and a saint and a great master, we're all seeing through what Joseph Campbell called the stained glass window. We're all seeing through our perceptual filter made up of our biases in our mindset, the beliefs that our parents told us. Our teachers told us, society told us, advertisers told us, our culture has told us. So we're seeing the world not as it is, we're seeing the world as we are. We're not seeing the truth, we're seeing through a filter. But also we've got our Heartset. So we're seeing through the energy of our lower-grade emotions as well as through some higher-grade emotions. And it's not until we sort of pull out the eyeglass or the sunglass cleaner and wipe away the messy, toxic beliefs. traumatic emotions that lurk at our core for human beings, that we start to see the truth. And when we start to see the truth, we start to become possibilitarians. When we see the truth, we not only see all the opportunities out there, the goodness of people, we not only see what we can doin the world in terms of being value deliverers and being masters of our crafts, we also start to see the forgotten parts of ourselves. And that is when we shift from the ego to the hero. It's when we reclaim our mastery. It's when we reclaim our primal creativities. When we reclaim our natural productivity. It's when we go out in the world and we perform at our best because we remember who we truly are.There are no extra people on the planet. Every single person, if they were to let go of their Mindset limitations, their Heartset limitations, their Healthset limitations, their Soulset limitations, through the interior work that I teach in The Circle of Legends in such a deep way, they would steadily through tiny triumphs each day, through micro-wins each week, create a tsunami of mastery that would allow them to be the hero on the planet.
