The speaker argues that your true self and your doubting mind are in constant conflict. When you win by doing hard things consistently, you build confidence that rewires how you evaluate opportunities. Small wins create a feedback loop that makes bigger challenges feel possible.
I like to think there's kind of two parts of us, right? There's that part of you at night who's really motivated to get up in the morning and go for the run. And we want— I'm getting up at 6:00 AM, I'm going to go for a run, I'm going to meditate, I'm going to eat right. And you're— and that's, that's your true self. That's what your true self wants. And then you wake up in the morning and your mind takes over. Well, you know, I don't think I got enough sleep, or, you know, maybe I should just rest today cuz I'm sore, or, you know, I'll start doing this tomorrow, right? And what happens is, is if that part of you wins then your subconscious mind, the part that's judging every action of yourself, starts to lose self-confidence. And then when an opportunity comes your way and you're like, hey, that sounds like a really cool thing, your subconscious is either going to say, yes, you're worthy of being able to go do that, you deserve that because you've kept all these promises to yourself, we're confident. Or, who do you think you are? You couldn't even get up and run. What makes you think you can go start this business? So in doing those hard things, you're building the confidence and the resilience that allows you to be more opportunistic and take action on things because you're being driven by that.
