It’s about philosophy.” (11:44)“People who really pursue the process [of success], they are undefeatable.” (31:41)“The great thing about rage and anger is they are phenomenal focusers of energy.” (33:49)“What matters to me is movement. Movement matters because movement creates momentum. Momentum creates confidence. And confidence creates certainty.” (36:08)“The alter ego is simply a mental tool that we’ve got that allows us to disassociate ourselves from our own story and start to play through the idea of someone and something else that we admire.” (41:44)“What makes us unique – human beings – is our creative imagination, our ability to create new stories about what we’re capable of. We can shift and we can change in an instant.” (52:23)“I’ve had people who have picked an alter ego because it sounded like a nice idea, but they didn’t actually connect with that person. There wasn’t like an emotional tug and I need that emotional tug when I’m working with someone.” (1:02:21)LINKS MENTIONEDBetter!
