moving is such a crazy way to level up in life because you're taking your brain out of an environment, putting it into a brand new one where there are no prior associations, there's no old identity.

And, you know, environment is huge for that, and the people around you are huge for that, but also your habits and your behaviors. Your behaviors are identity anchors as well. And so You know, if you're trying to shift your identity to someone that is, you know, likes to go to the gym and exercise frequently, you also need to be acting like that, right?
