0:00So, when someone's like, "Well, I'm the type of person who" I'm like, "Just stop. Just stop. It's all made up. I'm a neat freak." It's like, "Okay, well, that's a bucket of terms. So, like, what does that really [music] mean to you?" It means like you like to keep your car clean. So, what does that mean? It means you clean your car once a week and you take the trash out from your car every [music] time you drive it. Okay. Then they start using this label to decide whether or why they can or can't do something. I wouldn't be a successful with that cuz I'm a neat freak. Why? Because you [music] take trash out of your car regularly. Why does that have anything to do with whether you could do this or not? Everyone who's listening to this has something they say about themselves. They're like, "I'm not organized. I'm a night owl." Why do we have these labels? Like, if you needed to wake up early, you wake up early. If you need to stay up [music] late, then you stay up late. The labels change our behavior more than we change the labels.
