Discipline Integrity & Alignment (S5) S9:E6 · Inspirations for Your Life

0:24
Well, hey guys, good morning.
0:25
It is Thursday.
0:26
It's February 26th, 2026.
0:30
I hope you're having a good morning if
0:32
you're starting off with me or if you're
0:33
watching this any other time.
0:34
If it's not live, I hope it's a
0:36
good one.
0:36
First of all, I want to say thank
0:37
you to everyone that has been watching the
0:40
show.
0:41
Really appreciate that.
0:42
So if you are new here, welcome.
0:44
And if you're coming back, of course, welcome
0:45
back.
0:45
And of course, a big thank you either
0:47
way to you.
0:47
I always appreciate people that like my content
0:49
and those that want to keep watching it
0:51
and improving the quality of their lives.
0:53
If you're thirsty this morning, I have my
0:54
hot tea.
0:55
Just finished breakfast a little while ago and
0:56
delicious decaf Earl Grey, really good tea.
1:01
So I'll have that here.
1:02
Feel free to go grab yourself something to
1:04
tea or water or another beverage, whatever it
1:08
is, maybe a snack, fruit or even breakfast.
1:11
Feel free to get that or lunch or
1:13
dinner, depending when you're watching this.
1:14
Don't forget to check out BelieveMeAchieve.com right
1:17
after the show, not during the show, obviously.
1:19
So let's kick this off because we have
1:21
an amazing show, as we always do.
1:23
You know that.
1:24
This is Inspiration to Your Life, and we're
1:27
talking this week about owning your path, your
1:29
clarity, your courage, and the boundaries for, of
1:32
course, peak living.
1:34
I've always said you can either survive or
1:36
you can thrive, right?
1:38
All right.
1:39
So this is Inspiration to Your Life.
1:41
Oh, who am I?
1:42
Sure.
1:42
I'm John C.
1:43
Morley, serial entrepreneur.
1:45
I'm an engineer, marketing specialist, video producer, podcast
1:48
host, coach, keynote speaker, graduate student, passionate lifelong
1:52
learner, and yes, guys, pretty soon I will
1:54
be a published author.
1:55
Really excited about that.
1:57
Yes, I'm now on, well, I've just completed
2:00
Chapter 10.
2:01
I'll be starting, I believe, Chapter 11 very
2:04
soon.
2:04
The book's either going to be 12 or
2:06
14 chapters.
2:07
And so the last two chapters are probably
2:11
going to talk about some interesting things.
2:13
One of them I think is going to
2:14
actually talk about a day in the life
2:16
with me, which I think will be really
2:18
not only inspirational, but also educational.
2:20
So I'm really excited to do that.
2:22
And then somewhere around June, we will have
2:24
our book tour, and we'll have some signings
2:27
at local libraries, and hopefully we'll be in
2:29
an area near you.
2:30
Probably by the end of next year, we'll
2:32
be reaching a lot of the major parts
2:34
of the United States.
2:35
Another book is coming out, by the way,
2:37
too.
2:37
Next year, I'll be writing an AI book.
2:41
So today's episode, yes, today's episode, it focuses
2:44
on something that a lot of us miss.
2:46
That's discipline, that's integrity, and it's alignment.
2:50
I actually run a group, and in the
2:52
group, we have something, we call it Friendship
2:54
First Integrity Always.
2:56
And I think that's an important thing because
2:58
most people connect with other people because of
3:01
what they can do for them, but not
3:02
for the friendship.
3:03
And I think that's an important thing that
3:04
a lot of people in our world miss.
3:06
And it seems to be lost after grammar
3:11
school.
3:11
I remember my very first friend, actually, I
3:15
think it was in, I think it might
3:17
even be pre-K, his name was John,
3:20
and his last name started with P.
3:23
And we were great friends, but you know,
3:24
things break away.
3:25
But we understood friendship back then.
3:28
And a lot of people miss that.
3:30
And they lose the bonds of friendship because
3:33
of, well, things in our universe, materialistic things,
3:36
et cetera.
3:37
And that is sad that that happens.
3:39
So integrity and alignment, and building personal power
3:43
through consistent effort, staying true to your values
3:46
and aligning actions with your goals, that's what
3:49
we're talking about today.
3:50
This is Discipline and Integrity Alignment, Series 5,
3:54
Show 9, Episode 6.
3:55
That means, guys, we're on the year, over
3:56
four years, and we're in our fifth year,
3:59
and we're about to hit our third month
4:01
in our fifth year.
4:02
That's pretty exciting.
4:04
Discipline ensures follow-through on commitments.
4:07
Your actions build trust in yourself and others,
4:09
number one.
4:10
Number two, guys, integrity grows quietly through consistent
4:15
action.
4:16
Let your behavior define your reputation.
4:20
That's an important one, guys.
4:22
Let it define your reputation.
4:24
Number three, alignment of values and actions creates
4:29
peace of mind, reducing internal conflict and stress.
4:33
Number four, avoid forbidden compromises that erode credibility.
4:40
Protect your personal and your professional reputation.
4:43
I think sometimes people go for that short
4:46
-term gratification.
4:47
And it has a potential, like I said,
4:50
eroding trust, breaking bridges.
4:52
And you might say, gee, John, if I
4:54
break a bridge, I can fix it.
4:55
Well, not always.
4:56
It depends how bad you actually damage the
5:00
trust.
5:01
Number five, discipline strengthens focus, even when motivation
5:06
fades, ensuring progress continues steadily.
5:11
Integrity protects long-term reputation.
5:15
Consistency over time compounds respect and influence.
5:19
That's a big one that a lot of
5:20
people, I think, miss.
5:22
Number seven, alignment simplifies complex decisions by keeping
5:27
choices consistent with your core values.
5:31
Now, your core values might shift a little
5:34
bit, and that's normal.
5:35
But they shouldn't majorly change, okay?
5:39
They may shift just a little bit.
5:41
Number eight, small disciplined actions create compounding results.
5:48
Daily habits produce exponential gains.
5:51
You know, you might say, gee, I'm doing
5:53
this habit every day, but it's not doing
5:55
anything for me.
5:56
Well, don't look at it as something it's
5:57
doing.
5:58
Look at it as a habit.
5:59
And when it pays back, as long as
6:03
it's something minor or small, that can be
6:06
something as simple as reaching out to people
6:08
on LinkedIn with a potential hello or some
6:10
type of, not an offer, but more of
6:13
an inquiry, all right?
6:14
And I don't mean flooding with 50 or
6:16
100 of them.
6:17
I mean like doing one or two a
6:18
day.
6:20
And I think being non-salesy and just
6:22
wanting to have a conversation with someone is
6:25
a great way to get things started, all
6:27
right?
6:28
Number nine, avoid shortcuts that violate principles or
6:32
ethics.
6:33
Integrity beats convenience every time.
6:34
I've said this another way, but we're saying
6:36
it a different way.
6:38
Just because of convenience, don't let your integrity
6:41
suffer.
6:43
And a lot of people I know will
6:45
do that because they figure, well, it's easier,
6:48
it's not going to be difficult.
6:52
It's going to be comfortable to just skip
6:56
ahead.
6:57
I used this example yesterday when I was
6:59
talking about sailing and being very ethical about
7:02
racing.
7:03
And when I started racing, back when I
7:06
was single digits, I think I started sailing
7:09
when I was like six or seven.
7:10
I think I started racing by the time
7:12
I was maybe eight or nine.
7:15
And what I mean by that is I
7:16
started crewing by that time.
7:18
And then within a year after that, I
7:19
became my own skipper.
7:20
The reason I became my own skipper is
7:22
because when I would get on the boat,
7:24
I would have a superficial, egotistical, jerk guy
7:29
that pretty much didn't care about my effort
7:33
or my help.
7:33
He cared about my weight.
7:35
And for him, it wasn't about the personality.
7:38
It was just about what I could do
7:40
to help him win.
7:42
And I don't mean so much in my
7:43
skills.
7:44
He just cared about my weight so that
7:46
my weight would be the lightest and stuff
7:48
like that.
7:48
And a lot of these people, I thought
7:52
they'd be good mentors, but they weren't.
7:55
I was on a boat with a skipper,
7:58
we call it a skipper, and I was
7:59
a crew.
8:00
And the crew usually worked on the main
8:02
sheet, which is basically laying the sail out
8:04
and putting it in and things like that.
8:05
And the skipper worked on the rudder, we
8:08
call it the tiller.
8:11
And also, the crew and myself would actually
8:15
hike, lean out a little bit, something they
8:17
tell me, sit different places depending on differentiating
8:19
the weight.
8:20
So I remember us in a race, and
8:23
I remember us going by a buoy.
8:26
And as I said to you, I remember
8:28
the time when we hit the buoy.
8:33
And as I told you the story before,
8:34
we hit the buoy and he wasn't going
8:36
to re-round it.
8:37
I mentioned to him, he told me to
8:38
be quiet.
8:39
In other words, he used some other four
8:40
-letter words, which I'm not going to repeat.
8:42
But he was just really egotistical about winning,
8:45
even if it was the wrong way.
8:49
So I didn't say anything.
8:51
Another boat comes by, they call him on
8:53
it.
8:53
Second boat comes by, third boat comes by,
8:55
and they say they're going to protest.
8:56
Now let me explain what protest means.
8:57
Protest means that when we get back to
9:00
shore, they're going to say that this boat,
9:05
this sail, we have a sail number.
9:06
I still remember my number, 61542.
9:09
Isn't that funny how I remember my sail
9:10
number?
9:11
I still remember my sail number.
9:15
And I remember that I was on, again,
9:20
I was on somebody else's boat.
9:23
At that time, I had only been sailing
9:24
for a little while.
9:28
And I thought it was going to be
9:29
a great learning experience.
9:30
Not really.
9:33
So some of these people, when they say
9:36
they're going to protest, it's not a threat.
9:38
They're going to do it.
9:39
And so other people will just protest and
9:43
not tell you.
9:43
Now, if they would have done that, my
9:47
skipper would probably have just chucked it off
9:50
and said he didn't hit the buoy.
9:53
But there were three witnesses.
9:55
So I guess what I'm saying is that
9:57
sometimes you find somebody older than you and
10:00
you think they're a good mentor, but really
10:01
they're just trying to go through the motions
10:04
and they're trying to skip integrity.
10:06
And I think when we skip integrity in
10:08
life, we cheat ourselves and not just others.
10:11
That's a big, important thing.
10:13
Number 10, discipline reinforces habits that drive success,
10:18
making excellence repeatable and reliable.
10:21
That's the whole thing, right?
10:22
We want to make things repeatable and reliable
10:26
in our life, in our businesses, in our
10:29
personal lives.
10:30
I think that's really key.
10:31
Number 11, integrity grows quietly through consistent action,
10:36
showing strength without boosting or boasting yourself.
10:41
So I think that's important.
10:42
A lot of people want to have this
10:43
big ego.
10:45
It's the one that walks softly, that doesn't
10:49
need to brag.
10:51
Number 12, alignment directs energy toward meaningful goals,
10:56
reducing wasted effort and distraction.
11:00
Number 13, avoid forbidden temptations that distract you
11:05
from the priorities.
11:06
Guard your attention like it is gold, guys,
11:10
like it is gold.
11:13
I think that's an important thing that a
11:14
lot of people miss.
11:17
I'll give an example.
11:19
So a lot of people on systems like
11:27
LinkedIn, Facebook, et cetera, and sometimes you send
11:29
them a connection request, right?
11:30
And sometimes you may have something in common.
11:32
But then what we find out is that
11:36
they're really not looking to build connection for
11:41
friendship.
11:42
They're looking to build it to say, hey,
11:44
what can you do for me?
11:46
What can I do for you?
11:47
How can I, I don't use the word
11:48
exploit you, but how can I sell you?
11:51
And that's pretty bad.
11:52
But a lot of people do that.
11:53
That's also the difference between integrity and non
11:57
-integrity.
11:58
Number 14, discipline provides freedom through structure.
12:04
Organized effort creates liberty to innovate.
12:06
And I think that's one that a lot
12:08
of people miss.
12:09
Number 15, integrity guides choices when no one
12:13
is watching.
12:14
Proven character is consistent.
12:17
I said this before, and I used this
12:19
example a few months ago, and I've said
12:20
it a couple of times.
12:21
There was a commercial on TV, and they
12:23
had these, let's say, ground baggage control people,
12:28
you know, moving the baggage off the plane.
12:30
I remember this one gentleman who took the
12:33
bag off the plane, and he knew he
12:35
was being watched on camera.
12:36
He takes the bag off very gently.
12:38
He dusts it off.
12:39
He pats it down, goes to the next
12:41
one.
12:41
And then there was the same guy a
12:44
different day that didn't believe he was being
12:48
watched this time.
12:49
He just threw the luggage.
12:51
Lucky the luggage even stayed in one piece.
12:55
So it's what we do that people don't
12:59
see that matters.
13:02
Number 16, alignment reduces stress by eliminating conflicts
13:06
between words and actions.
13:08
Clarity comes from harmony, guys.
13:10
Avoid actions that contradict your values.
13:13
Staying true builds long-term confidence.
13:17
Discipline builds resilience over time.
13:20
Consistent effort strengthens both mind and, of course,
13:24
character.
13:27
Number 19, integrity creates credibility and influence.
13:32
People trust those who consistently do the right
13:36
thing.
13:37
The right thing.
13:40
So in the case of this whole thing
13:42
with, you know, being somebody who was, you
13:45
know, let's say, watching, like I was watching
13:49
this, this, the skipper, and I thought they
13:52
were there to help mentor me and helps,
13:54
you know, help me learn something.
13:56
I learned that that wasn't the case of
13:58
all people.
13:59
So you've got to be very careful who
14:02
you pick as your mentor.
14:03
There are a lot of people that want
14:04
to be your mentor, but they may not
14:06
have anything that's going to be good for
14:08
you.
14:09
So just make sure that you choose the
14:11
right mentors carefully.
14:14
Number 20, alignment clarifies purpose and direction, helping
14:18
you make confident, decisive decisions.
14:21
And again, decisions are not always made.
14:24
I talk about this in my book.
14:25
Decisions are not always made by emotions, especially
14:27
when it comes in business.
14:29
We have to make them based on analytics,
14:32
based on data.
14:33
That's an important one.
14:35
Number 21, avoid forbidden compromises that undermine long
14:39
-term impact.
14:41
Focus on sustainable results.
14:43
I know the people that are in it
14:45
for the short game don't want to do
14:47
that.
14:48
They just want to get the dollar, get
14:50
the buck, make all they can, and not
14:52
worry about tomorrow.
14:54
But life's about relationships.
14:57
It's about the long game.
14:59
Number 22, discipline maintains momentum through daily consistency.
15:03
Turning small steps into major progress.
15:07
Just one consistent action every day can help
15:11
you become successful.
15:13
Number 23, integrity ensures decisions reflect true priorities,
15:19
not fleeting emotions or external pressure.
15:23
Again, we get pushed by some people because
15:25
we think that that is the way we're
15:28
supposed to go.
15:29
Just because somebody's yelling, screaming, or just because
15:32
they've been in business X years doesn't mean
15:36
that they have the ability to mentor you.
15:42
Now, they might have the skills, but that
15:44
does not mean that they have the ability
15:47
to mentor you.
15:48
And I mean that, you know, let's say
15:55
very seriously.
15:57
Because if we don't understand that, I think
16:03
it's important that we can change our philosophy
16:07
and find people that not only have made
16:11
the success, but that have the ability to
16:16
mentor us.
16:16
I'm going to give you an example here.
16:18
I don't care whether we're talking about people
16:20
that have no money, people that are millionaires,
16:24
billionaires, etc.
16:25
Just because they have the money doesn't mean
16:30
that they have the authority to be able
16:34
to mentor you.
16:36
So money and authority are kind of a
16:39
misnomer for going hand in hand.
16:42
Yes, authority because they can buy and they
16:44
can do things, but they don't have an
16:45
authority.
16:45
They don't have a unique voice.
16:46
They just kind of followed a pattern.
16:49
You got to be careful of that because
16:51
a lot of wealth tries to get you
16:54
sucked in and really doesn't give you anything,
16:57
really doesn't mentor anything.
16:58
You think you're going to get some mentoring,
17:00
but really what you get is an empty
17:02
lunch box.
17:03
I'm just being honest.
17:05
Number 24, guys.
17:09
Alignment amplifies the effect of every action.
17:12
Letting effort compound naturally over time, that's the
17:15
key.
17:15
It's the patience, guys, that makes the key.
17:18
That's how it works.
17:20
Number 25, guys.
17:21
Avoid behaviors that erode your energy or your
17:25
focus.
17:26
Protect mental and physical bandwidth.
17:29
I think that's a very important thing to
17:34
understand.
17:36
And if we understand that, then maybe we'll
17:42
be able to go somewhere just a little
17:44
bit different in our lives.
17:45
Maybe, just maybe.
17:47
But I want to tell you, it takes
17:50
focus.
17:53
And we have to guard our mental and
17:55
physical bandwidth because when somebody eats up our
17:59
bandwidth, let's talk about technology from it, right?
18:01
If you've got a router, okay?
18:04
And let's say that router is capable of
18:07
producing 1G, right?
18:10
1,000 megabits per second.
18:12
Now, let's just say in that router, let's
18:15
say you have, hypothetically, I'll see if I
18:18
can do this very easily for you.
18:20
Let's say you have, let's say you have,
18:23
let's say you have five people, okay?
18:27
And they each steal 200, okay?
18:32
There's nothing left for everybody else.
18:34
So, you've got to be mindful of the
18:35
bandwidth you have and the amount of time
18:38
you're giving it, all right?
18:41
Number 26, guys.
18:43
Discipline shapes identity through repeat effort, turning habits
18:46
into defining character traits.
18:49
That's important, okay?
18:52
Discipline shapes identity through repeat effort, turning habits
18:55
into defining character traits.
18:56
Not the ones we want to impress people
18:58
with, the ones that we live our life
19:00
by.
19:01
And what I found is that the ones
19:02
we live our life by are the ones
19:05
other people care about, not the ones that
19:07
you put up on a billboard.
19:09
Because they're not really core values.
19:12
Number 27, guys.
19:14
Integrity reduces stress and internal conflict.
19:17
Living in harmony with values, you know what
19:20
it does?
19:20
It creates a sense of calmness.
19:24
I've also found that people who are calm
19:26
are more successful.
19:29
You might say, John, well, I know a
19:31
lot of people, but they're always under stress.
19:33
See, that's not real success.
19:36
I mean, yes, they make money.
19:38
Don't get me wrong, okay?
19:39
Yes.
19:40
Some stock market people, they make a lot
19:41
of money.
19:42
And some business, they make a lot of
19:43
money.
19:44
But they're always under stress.
19:47
I don't consider that full success.
19:51
Because you're giving away your life.
19:53
You're giving away your freedom.
19:54
You're always under the gun.
19:57
To me, success, wealth, is about making choices,
20:00
but doing them on your timeline.
20:03
Not being pushed or pinched, right?
20:06
When a contractor says to you, well, I
20:09
can't finish it this weekend.
20:11
Okay, no problem.
20:12
And if it really is no problem for
20:13
you, great.
20:14
But if you can't wait, well, I want
20:17
it done this weekend.
20:18
We'll just get someone else.
20:21
Don't make everything drama in your life.
20:24
There's too much drama everywhere else you go,
20:26
right?
20:27
It could be on the roadway.
20:29
I was at school the other day, and
20:30
somebody was honking the horn.
20:31
Because somebody did not make the left-hand
20:34
turn as soon as the light turned.
20:39
They were honking the horn.
20:40
And in the garage, people are supposed to
20:42
go five miles an hour, right?
20:44
Well, they're going 40.
20:45
They're lucky they don't kill somebody.
20:46
And these are the important things when I
20:49
talk about the moment.
20:51
Everybody is rushing to the next moment.
20:53
But not enjoying this moment that you and
20:55
I are having right now.
20:56
Like right now, I'm having a cup of
20:57
tea.
20:58
Mmm.
20:59
Enjoying the moment.
21:01
Being aware of, you know, the texture of
21:03
the cup.
21:04
The warmth of it.
21:05
Even how, not just the taste, but also
21:14
the qualities of the tea.
21:17
Feel on my tongue or throat.
21:19
Different properties.
21:21
I think if we can become more aware,
21:24
okay?
21:26
We can plug into more value in our
21:28
life.
21:29
And when we plug into more value, we
21:30
can offer more value.
21:31
And guess what that also means?
21:32
We can charge more money.
21:36
When we're worth more, we could charge more.
21:38
A lot of people don't charge because they
21:40
don't believe they're worth more.
21:42
That's the problem.
21:44
Number 28, guys.
21:46
Alignment produces confidence and clarity.
21:49
Knowing your actions match intentions.
21:53
Empowers, guys.
21:55
Decisions.
21:57
It doesn't dictate decisions, guys.
21:59
It empowers them.
22:01
When we have data, when we have resources.
22:05
When we are calm, we're able to make
22:11
decisions correctly the first time.
22:14
Not because they have to be made or
22:17
because we're making them a second time.
22:18
But because we're now focused and we're not
22:21
getting distracted, okay?
22:25
Number 29, guys.
22:27
Avoid forbidden distractions that steal the focus.
22:30
Deliberate attention multiplies results.
22:33
If you're focused on me right now.
22:35
Now, if you're driving, obviously, focus on the
22:37
road.
22:37
But if you're not doing anything else and
22:38
you're focused on me right now.
22:40
And nothing else around you is captivating your
22:43
attention.
22:44
Just me.
22:46
You're probably going to remember this podcast better
22:51
than anything else you do.
22:55
This goes with education.
22:58
I want to talk about something else.
22:59
Right now, I'm preparing for a mid-time
23:01
for my advanced computer fundamentals and assembly class.
23:07
Our professor teaches a very different way.
23:10
Just kind of puts the stuff out there
23:12
but doesn't really teach it.
23:13
He just kind of says it very quickly.
23:15
So it's up to myself to come up
23:17
with a system.
23:19
And other students, too.
23:20
To be able to learn that information.
23:26
Building a system early is important.
23:30
Understanding the system and making it part of
23:32
your daily day and activities.
23:34
That's the key, guys, to success.
23:36
It's not about, oh my gosh, he's not
23:38
teaching.
23:39
Like, that's not what it's about.
23:40
It's not about complaining, guys.
23:42
That's important.
23:44
Number 30, discipline, integrity, and alignment together unlock
23:48
personal power.
23:49
Creating momentum that transforms your life.
23:53
And I think when we understand that our
23:56
momentum, that our presence of awareness on the
24:00
moment, can help us see things, can help
24:05
us make decisions, can help us be aware
24:08
of where we are in life.
24:11
And even maybe where we want to go.
24:15
I think the biggest challenge many people have
24:17
in life is the noise around them.
24:20
The noise from others, the noise from distractions,
24:25
the noise from chattering monkeys in their mind.
24:29
We need to quiet our mind down so
24:33
we can truly focus on what matters.
24:36
Like a nice hot cup of tea.
24:43
Nourishment, not just for the body, but for
24:45
the brain.
24:46
And so many of you may have great
24:48
food every day, and that's great.
24:50
But if you don't have good nourishment for
24:53
the mind, you starve the mind.
24:56
And the mind doesn't develop.
24:59
Not everyone's back in school or in college
25:01
or in high school right now.
25:04
They're starting to let their minds not develop
25:08
anymore.
25:09
Now, they might be in a field, and
25:10
they might work on certain things.
25:11
But doing the same projects or the same
25:13
kind of projects over time doesn't keep the
25:15
mind aligned.
25:17
We need to push the mind outside our
25:20
comfort zone.
25:20
I didn't say put pain on the mind.
25:22
I said push it outside our comfort zone.
25:25
That is a key, guys.
25:26
That is a very big key.
25:30
I know a lot of you here are
25:32
saying to me, John, well, I don't have
25:33
time for that.
25:34
Okay, you don't have time for that, but
25:36
you have time to redo something four or
25:38
five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten times.
25:41
If you would just focus once with true
25:48
dedication and intention, you would see that even
25:57
though things are difficult, they become easier each
26:00
time.
26:03
The more we focus, the easier it is
26:06
each time.
26:06
It just becomes like a natural thing.
26:08
It's just like relaxing, right?
26:09
We were relaxed the first time.
26:10
I was like, oh my gosh, it's so
26:11
difficult, right?
26:12
I remember the first time I learned hypnosis
26:13
many, many years ago.
26:14
I was like, oh, this is complicated.
26:16
Then I'm like, oh, I get it.
26:19
I took the Sula Method, guys.
26:20
I think it was like four or five
26:21
times.
26:22
It didn't make sense the very first time
26:24
I took it.
26:25
That's what happens with a lot of subjects.
26:27
You take them the first time, and they
26:28
don't make sense.
26:29
You hear the words, but you haven't created
26:33
the association to what they mean or understand
26:36
what they represent.
26:41
That's key, guys.
26:44
I think the reason I love learning so
26:45
much is I get the chance to create
26:48
new pathways in my brain.
26:50
Last night, I was learning something, and it
26:52
seemed a little challenging, not because it was
26:54
hard, but because I was actually rewiring my
26:56
brain.
26:57
I didn't even know I was doing this.
26:59
But I realized afterwards, that's what's happening.
27:02
I'm rewiring my brain.
27:05
So when it feels a little difficult, when
27:06
it feels a little bit, let's say, uncomfortable,
27:10
that's good.
27:11
That means your brain is starting to rewire
27:14
great connections.
27:18
That, ladies and gentlemen, is what creates intelligence.
27:21
We all have the potential to be intelligent.
27:24
It's just how many ways can we reconnect
27:26
our information so we have access like a
27:30
big supercomputer?
27:32
Big supercomputers today, and even network servers, are
27:36
resourceful because of the resources they connect to.
27:40
They can share printers, other LANs, WANs, etc.
27:44
They're not intelligent in themselves, but you are
27:49
different.
27:50
You have the ability to connect everything you
27:51
have and just make it all part of
27:53
one.
27:54
