Dean Graziosi argues that your beliefs determine your path, and that negative people and media fuel doubt while you need to actively choose your goals. He pushes back against the pressure to abandon dreams and treat unfulfilling work as just a paycheck instead of a step forward.
So I want to talk about beliefs and how important they are and what can they affect in your life? What in your life fuels a belief of doubt? And what in your life fuels a belief of hope and passion and drive? If something alters you just a fraction, then it's putting you on a different course. If it's the news, if it's a negative person, if it's a certain activity you do that makes you feel bad about yourself, you have to find a way to get rid of that crap. I mean, listen, what I never understood is when you were in high school or college or just starting out life, you have these dreams, you have the aspirations, you have these big goals in some cases, right? And the world tells us that we're dreaming. I mean, think about when we want to step out from the line everybody else is having and go after our own shit and do our own thing. And people saying, hey, get real, when you get a Lola, you'll see that that's not. And all of a sudden you start squashing your dreams. You start playing smaller in your own life to make people around you feel better. And here's the thing. You quit your dream, you quit your desire, and you take some job that makes somebody else happy. And all of a sudden you get somebody's arm around you saying, hey, now you're finally growing up. Really? What if you just decided today that you are going to. Whatever it is you're currently doing it, you're going to find it to be fun. You're going to do it to the best of your ability, because it's only temporary. It's only part of your journey. It was designed for you so you could know where you really want to go. When I see people say, I just hate this. I'm just going to get by till this comes along. What's going to come along? Think about that. Has everybody become successful? No, only the ones who go after it.
