Beliefs & Experiences are 2 Different Things!

If you constantly live in fear, your world gets smaller and smaller, and it tends to get more fearful. I always tell people a belief is a poor substitute for an experience. You think you know what China is, but I take you to China, you have a little different experience. And so almost everything I do is give someone an experience. That's the reason, you know, I did the firewalk. I still do, but did for so many years. I did. Before that, I used to do skydiving, but it's hard to get 15,000 people above the sky in New York in the middle of the night, so I had to come up with other tools. But the firewalk was again, giving you an experience of something that seemed difficult or impossible. And then you get yourself to do it, and your brain goes, wait a second. If I could do that, what else could I get myself to do? That psychological shift is the most important shift that people can make. It's a shift in your identity.
