0:00naturally select whatever the most important learning is from the content that you consume is the best way to work out what what is going to resonate and it's the best way to act on it as well. If you can't stop thinking about it when you go to bed tonight and you can't stop telling your friends about it in the morning and you've clipped it from this podcast or any other podcast or any other book or whatever whatever the thing is that you keep sending photos of and you keep on reciting to people and you try and tell your mom about and she doesn't care. That is the thing that you need to work on and you don't need to do if you take half a thing from this podcast or any other podcast that and you work on it for a month. You have made so much progress. And do you understand how blessed you are to have this opportunity? You could have been born in the Middle Ages before the Gutenberg printing press when they wouldn't even give you the Bible in the common language so that you had to go through the priest to be able to have a relationship with God. Right now you can search for whatever it is that you're dealing with. Find the greatest minds on the planet, listen to them, and then the next day implement it, and you move not only yourself, but you move the world around you. You get to nudge yourself and the rest of the world in a direction that you want to go, and you get to feel proud about it, and it's within your control.
1:14You have never been more blessed. There's a there's a quote that I want to that I want to hit here that I think would be relevant to we were just talking about with the people who are sad and alone. And one of the one of the biggest breakthroughs that I had from a from a mental perspective was actually defining emotions for what they are operationally. So sadness comes from a lack of options or rather a lack of perceived options.
1:40And that's why it feels like hopelessness because you don't know what to do. When I realized that sadness meant that I didn't know what to do, it meant that another way that I could define sadness was ignorance. And that is solvable. And so whenever I feel sad now, it's been my trigger to immediately think, what do I not know? What option do I not see? Because the opposite of that is anxiety, which is you have many options and you have few priorities.
2:06Looks you have many paths that you could pursue and you just don't know which one. And so being able to operationalize what these emotions felt like. So if you feel sad, it just means that you need to go learn more and that you can do. And then all of a sudden the learning more becomes the option and then you don't need to feel sad anymore. And that was like one of the biggest breakthroughs for my like mental health or whatever you want to call it mindset um that set me free. And I've taken a lot of effort to try and operationalize emotions so that I can either get out of them or lean into them. So like patience for example, right? And I'm only bringing this up because I think it might be relevant to some people is that most goals are attainable if you expand the time horizon. Even enormous ones like you can do anything in 10 years.
2:47>> You could walk to the moon. >> You could do there you go. You can do anything. And so for me, I am I would say a naturally impatient person. Like I tend to want things immediately now. And you know what? You probably are too. But once I defined patience as figuring out what to do in the meantime, it allowed me to control what I did. Because now like you and I are being patient for your stock investments right now as we're on this podcast, we're being patient for that because we're doing things in the meantime. And so whenever I felt impatient and wanted to change course, I had to just redefine what do I need to do today? And if you are sad and impatient, then it means that right now you need to learn what the option is that you need to go pursue. And then that makes it very much under your control. And so step by step each of these emotions over time I spent a lot of time trying to define them out so that they no longer control me and I know how to solve them. And then and then now it just becomes a faster and faster muscle like oh I feel anxiety that means that I have many options that I don't have priorities. Okay what's my priority? And then all of a sudden what used to take days of anxiety and feeling this you know frog in my throat was just oh I need to make a list of all the things that I'm looking at. Which one's the most important? Ignore the rest. And then I'm good. And what you you take days, takes minutes.
