Big part of my work is taking these nouns and turning them into verbs. Because the other way we hypnotize ourselves with our self talk that forms our belief system is saying things like, I don't have energy. I don't have a good memory, I don't have motivation. Have is like a noun, right? You have a noun, but when you turn into a verb, it gives you your responsibility back, right? And so very important. You talk about radical responsibility, right? It, you know, it's a choice. I have a quote in Limitless that says, life is the letter C between the letters B and D. B is birth, D is death, life, C, Choice. Responsibility is a choice. And when we embrace 100% ownership or responsibility for each and every circumstance that we face in our lives day in and day out, then we can do remarkable things.
