Why would you be checking your phone?
And if you look at a victim, if you look at most people on the planet, they are literally hooked to a white screen. They are wasting their human potential hooked into some social platform that is creating empires for other people. Many people, if not most people, are now a form of artificial intelligence. They're not living their brains potential, they're not living their physiological potential. They're not living their creative potential. They're not living their human potential. They're not living their economic potential. Why? Because they're hooked to a screen. It is the most frightening time in the history of the world and it's the most gorgeous time in the history of humanity. Why? Because it's never been so easy to be a hero. Because most people aren't doing it. Most people are lost, most people are hooked. So turn off your phones, get serious about this. This is your game, this is your life, this is your sport. And before you know it, you will be at the end. We all know that life goes by in a blink. Like I am on a mission bordering on an obsession to give you such ridiculous value that it terrifies you.
What you are going to experience over the next four days is going to blow your mind, enliven your heart. You know, mindset, boom, heart set explosion. I'm a purist. I built my build my life around just a few things he said. My favorite things in life, books and sushi. Isn't that beautiful? And he was an artist. He was an artist. And so mindset without heart set. So we experience trauma and then we block it out, repress it and then we lose our emotional game which is mission critical to world class. You've got to love your clients. You've got to love the beauty of creating gorgeous products. You've got to want to serve. It doesn't happen in the head. Oh, you know.
Service to your clients, to the Marketplace happens in your heart.
The desire to lead a world class life happens emotionally.
And that's how you battle proof yourself against volatility. It's not an intellectual game, it's a visceral game. It's in your DNA.
And I'm going to share with you how to do that.
So mindset without a heart set is an empty victory, but then there's two more emotional interior empires. The four interior empires. Mindset plus heart set plus health set. Right? Vitality. Like I said, the hunters on the savannas understood. They didn't understand, but the way the brain developed was literally if you move your natural wiring in your brain and physiology kicks into gear. You actually BDNF promotes neurogenesis, you create more brain cells, dopamine gets released, norepinephrine, serotonin. You feel happier, you feel less stress. BDNF repairs damaged brain cells. Your processing heightens. You actually dial in your focus.
Unbelievable the benefits of exercise, but it's not. And here's another key idea on the third interior empire health set.
Vitality is the DNA of legendary.
You cannot put a price tag on getting into the greatest fitness of your life. And then some of you, and I'm gonna work on you with great love and respect are gonna say, but if I hire a massage therapist and if I get a physical trainer, and if I get into acupuncture, and if I biohack, and if I get my genome tested to figure out my telomere so I know my real age, if I do all the things that James and Greg are gonna talk about, it's gonna cost me a lot of money. How many people hear that or think that right now? Be honest. Fantastic. Here's a little insight. Just because I love you, I might not know you, but I feel love for you. I'm here to serve you. I've got your back.
Getting into world class fitness will cost you a lot of money. Death will cost you more.
