Wie limitierende Glaubenssätze deine Ziele sabotieren

0:00So, one of the big nasty things that you have to eliminate on this path is the identity that you have about yourself, the isms that you claim. And so, for example, like, "Oh, I'm a I'm a neat freak. I'm a I'm not good at math. I'm not techy." And so, you make these statements and they don't serve you. Fundamentally, you should have one razor that rules all decisions. And I This is This is pretty cool, but it's also the reality of the world. Which is does this thing, person, belief make it more or less likely that I hit my goals? And so, if you run every single thing you do, the actions you take, the people you hang out with, you having your phone in the room, you saying, "I'm not techy." Does this increase or decrease the likelihood that you hit your goals? And I'm not saying this to preach cuz I had one that I dealt with for a long time. So, I always considered myself to be bad at math. I remember I was decent at math, and then in ninth grade, I had a really bad teacher and it basically put me back a year. Basically, after algebra, I didn't really learn anything because the year after that, I didn't have the the foundations from the year before. The difficulty was I kept saying after that point, "I'm just not good at math."

1:14But when I was in my 20s, I made the decision that that didn't serve me anymore. And so, I was like, "Okay, well, what would I have to do to feel like I was good at math?" And I was like, "Well, people who like can do math in their head, I think that's a pretty cool thing." And so, I didn't use a calculator for anything for years. And then I learned I mean, I made a lot of mistakes in the beginning, but then I got better and better at doing math in my head. And I would check it, obviously, after I was done, but I always let my head try and do it first.

1:44And so, nowadays, if you were to ask people, "Man, is Alex good at math?" They're like, "Dude, he just rattles off numbers like crazy." But the thing is is that until I was in my 20s, I thought I was bad at math. And so, it's like we are are much more pliable than we think we are, and we had something that set us on a trajectory a little bit earlier in life that just gave us maybe a little bit of disadvantage. Fine. Because you just have to get over it. Everyone's childhood was difficult. And if you want to win the award for hardest childhood, congrats, you win. You feel better?

2:13Right. No one cares about what happened to you then, only what you can make happen now. Identity is a lie. We only describe people about who they are by what they do. Doing is being. And so if you want to be somehow different, you have to do different things, and then only afterwards will people describe you based on the actions you take. Think about back in the day, the actual names people had was he's John the carpenter.

2:41He's John the stone smith. He's John the mason, right? People literally had their names based on what they did. That hasn't changed. The first thing you do when you meet somebody is you find out what do you what do you do? And that that gives you indications. And if you want to describe who someone is, what do you say? You describe what they do. And so this means that our identities 100% under our control because we control what we do. And then only after the fact will other people describe you in that way.
