YOU'RE NOT STUCK. YOU'RE REPEATING YOURSELF (S5) S37:E1 · Inspirations for Your Life

0:27
Well, hello there, everyone, and welcome once again
0:30
to the ever-popular Inspirations for Your Life
0:32
show.
0:32
I'm so glad you decided to join me
0:35
here today.
0:36
It is a Saturday, it is September 5th,
0:39
2026, what does that mean?
0:41
It means that we are on a brand
0:43
new master topic.
0:44
Whenever we start on a Saturday, so we
0:46
go from Saturday and we go all the
0:47
way through the week, and we finish up,
0:49
guys, on a Friday, which we just did
0:51
yesterday.
0:53
And so that's how we do this.
0:55
We run Saturday through Friday, and we have
0:59
seven days where we have some very powerful
1:03
master topics that hit us every single day.
1:07
So I'm so glad you decided to join
1:08
me.
1:08
If this is your very first time joining
1:10
me, I want to take the opportunity to
1:12
say, of course, welcome, and I want to
1:16
say thank you, yes.
1:19
And if you've been here one time, five
1:21
times, 10 times, 100, or maybe even more,
1:24
I want to take the opportunity to say
1:25
thank you, and I'd also like to say
1:27
the words welcome, but I also want to
1:29
say an important words, which is welcome back,
1:32
guys.
1:33
Really do appreciate all of you that are
1:35
deciding to be part of this great show.
1:38
So I very much appreciate that, and I
1:41
hope that you're gaining some amazing value from
1:44
not only watching the show, but being part
1:47
of the show, and hopefully adapting this to,
1:50
I'm going to say your everyday life.
1:52
That's probably the most important thing I can
1:55
say to you.
1:56
A lot of times, we think about doing
1:58
things, but then for whatever reason, we don't
2:00
do it.
2:01
And the reason we don't do it, I'm
2:03
going to tell you why.
2:04
It's because somebody else says something, and that
2:08
something somebody else says, well, could be a
2:12
big problem, and that keeps us from reaching
2:15
our full potential.
2:17
So guys, welcome.
2:19
If you're thirsty or you're hungry, feel free
2:20
to go grab that snack, that beverage, whatever
2:23
it is that you would enjoy, get yourself
2:26
comfortable, and of course, guys, come on back
2:29
to the show.
2:30
We have an awesome show here with a
2:33
brand new master topic.
2:35
Don't forget to check out, ladies and gentlemen,
2:37
BelieveMeAchieved.com, of course, for more of my
2:39
amazing, inspiring creations, which you can do 24
2:42
hours a day, incidentally, and I ask you
2:46
to do that once the show is over,
2:47
because again, we have some amazing stuff here,
2:51
and I definitely don't want you to miss
2:53
any of it.
2:54
So in case you're wondering, it is series
2:57
five, and can you believe, guys, we are
2:59
on show number 37, and this is episode
3:04
number one.
3:06
So I think that's a pretty important thing,
3:09
guys, for a lot of people to realize,
3:12
but for some reason, sometimes people just don't,
3:16
they don't get the reasons, they don't understand
3:18
what they're doing, and that can happen, right?
3:22
It can happen because people just don't understand
3:27
why things are working a certain way, right?
3:31
I think that's probably one of the things
3:34
I can tell you, is that people get
3:37
stuck because of what someone else said, and
3:41
now that's not nice to say, but you
3:43
know, guys, it is the truth, all right?
3:45
It absolutely is the truth.
3:47
So if we think about that, and we
3:48
think about why we're getting stuck, or why
3:50
something's happening to us, chances are, it's because
3:54
of something else somebody said, and that's changing
3:57
our, basically, assumptions in life, and when that
4:00
happens, you know what goes on?
4:02
Well, we actually become a little bit, how
4:06
can I say, dismayed by what's actually going
4:10
on.
4:10
So I think these are very important things
4:12
for us to pay attention to, and these
4:15
are subtleties that I think a lot of
4:17
people will miss, and the reason they'll miss
4:19
them is because they feel that that little
4:22
thing is not important, but I'm here to
4:24
tell you, guys, that little thing is very
4:26
important, and that could be the difference to
4:28
you becoming a success, or you basically just
4:33
kind of floundering by, and I know that
4:35
sounds harsh, but on the show, I give
4:38
you the truth, I give you what it
4:39
is that you need to know so you
4:41
can become a better version of yourself.
4:44
So I don't try to sugarcoat things, I
4:47
just give people the way it is, and
4:49
hopefully they will choose to adapt to that,
4:52
and want to become a better version of
4:54
yourself, because that's why I'm here, to become
4:56
a better version of myself, to help others
4:57
become better versions of themselves, and I want
5:00
to help you all, of course, become better
5:02
versions of yourselves, but you have to take
5:05
the steps with me.
5:06
You can't just say, you know, I want
5:08
to listen to this, and just my osmosis,
5:10
but it just happened.
5:11
You have to be taking the steps.
5:13
If you don't take the steps, guys, well,
5:15
you're going to go nowhere.
5:17
So without further ado, guys, let's kick this
5:19
show off.
5:21
This is the Inspirations for Your Life show,
5:23
and our topic for today is you're not
5:27
stuck, you're repeating yourself.
5:30
It's Series 5, Show 37, Episode 1.
5:32
Welcome to another powerful, amazing episode of the
5:37
Inspirations for Your Life show.
5:38
Who am I?
5:38
Great question.
5:40
I'm John C.
5:41
Morley.
5:41
I'm a serial entrepreneur.
5:43
I'm an engineer, marketing specialist, video producer, podcast
5:46
host, coach, keynote speaker, graduate student at Montclair
5:50
State University, a passionate lifelong learner, and so
5:53
grateful now to be a published author.
5:56
Yes, I am.
5:57
So our new master weekly topic is out
6:00
today, and here it is.
6:02
Your next level will demand a different you.
6:06
And today, I'm starting with a question that
6:10
might completely change the way you look at
6:12
feeling stuck.
6:14
What if you're not stuck?
6:15
Just for a moment.
6:17
What if you're repeating yourself?
6:19
Sometimes we keep getting the same result because
6:22
we're repeatedly making the same decisions, following the
6:25
same routines, responding to the same triggers, and
6:28
then wondering why nothing is changing.
6:31
Yeah, surprise, surprise.
6:33
So let's get into our 30 points that
6:34
I think will help clarify this.
6:36
Number one, your life keeps responding to what
6:40
you repeatedly do.
6:41
One decision rarely defines your entire direction.
6:44
Repeat decisions do.
6:46
Look at what you're consistently doing because repetition
6:49
eventually becomes your reality.
6:52
That's the truth, guys.
6:53
Number two, stop calling a pattern bad luck.
6:59
One unfortunate outcome may be bad luck.
7:02
When the same situation keeps happening over again
7:05
and again, examine the pattern.
7:07
There may be something that you can change.
7:10
Number three, notice what keeps producing the same
7:14
outcome.
7:15
Don't only study the result.
7:17
Study what happened before.
7:19
Your breakthrough may come from maybe understanding the
7:23
sequence that repeatedly takes you there.
7:26
I think these are important things to realize.
7:28
Number four, your routine may feel safe because
7:35
they're familiar to you.
7:37
But a routine can also preserve the exact
7:40
situation you're trying to escape.
7:42
I think that's an important thing for all
7:45
of us to pay attention to.
7:46
People want to escape because they don't want
7:49
to face the music of what's going on
7:51
right now.
7:52
Number five, stop expecting change from unchanged behavior.
7:58
Wanting a different outcome isn't enough, guys.
8:00
If the behavior producing yesterday's results remains unchanged,
8:06
well, then tomorrow may look remarkably exactly familiar.
8:11
You know, Einstein said something a long time
8:13
ago.
8:13
He said the definition of insanity is doing
8:16
the same thing over and over again and
8:18
expecting different results.
8:20
None of us are insane, but yet why
8:21
do we act that way?
8:23
Well, it's because we get comfortable, we get
8:25
into a pattern, and we know that if
8:27
we're comfortable, well, we don't want to move
8:28
forward, right?
8:29
Because we don't want to change the way
8:31
we're curling them because it just seems so
8:33
comfortable, right?
8:34
Number six, identify what you keep doing automatically.
8:38
Some of our most powerful behaviors happen without
8:43
much thought.
8:44
Notice your automatic reactions because awareness gives you
8:48
an opportunity to interrupt them.
8:51
Number seven, familiar doesn't mean effective.
8:55
A lot of people think it does.
8:57
Comfortable doesn't mean effective.
8:59
We often continue doing something simply because we've
9:02
always done it that way.
9:04
Ask whether your familiar approach is actually producing
9:07
what you want or not, and then be
9:11
willing to change.
9:12
Number eight, your comfort zone can disguise itself
9:16
as routine.
9:18
Comfort doesn't always look like sitting around doing
9:21
nothing.
9:22
Sometimes it looks like staying extremely busy, doing
9:26
things that never require you to change, and
9:29
creating a facade that you think you're actually
9:31
becoming successful when you're not.
9:33
Number nine, stop rehearsing yesterday.
9:37
If every new situation receives yesterday's response, you're
9:41
giving your past enormous control over your future.
9:45
Try something new, right?
9:47
You want a difference in your life.
9:50
Number 10, break one pattern before creating 10
9:55
new goals.
9:55
Can you do that?
9:56
Yes, you can, but you're going to have
9:58
to become uncomfortable to do that.
10:00
You don't always need another giant goal list.
10:03
Sometimes eliminating one destructive pattern creates more progress
10:07
than adding 10 new ambitions.
10:09
That's the truth, guys, but a lot of
10:11
people just feel that if it's uncomfortable, they
10:14
don't want to go down that roadway because
10:16
they think, well, you know, I don't want
10:18
to go down that way because I actually
10:21
don't know the right way.
10:23
I figure that if I stay comfortable, then
10:25
I don't have to worry about it.
10:26
I don't have to be concerned about what
10:28
I may or may not do.
10:30
So I think that's what scares a lot
10:32
of people.
10:33
Number 11, your habits reveal where you're actually
10:36
headed.
10:37
Goals tell you where you hope to go.
10:40
Habits reveal the direction you're currently traveling.
10:43
Make sure those two destinations match.
10:47
Number 12, stop blaming circumstances for every repeated
10:50
result.
10:51
Circumstances absolutely matter, but don't give away all
10:54
your power to them.
10:57
Identify what you can influence and begin from
11:00
there.
11:01
Nowhere else.
11:02
Number 13, please notice which decisions keep bringing
11:07
you backward.
11:09
Yeah, some decisions you make actually will get
11:12
you to go backwards.
11:13
Pay attention to the moments when progress repeatedly
11:16
disappears.
11:17
There may be a decision you're making over
11:19
and over that needs change, right?
11:22
And that's a truth, guys.
11:24
The only reason you're not changing is because
11:26
you're so darn comfortable with the way you
11:28
are that you figure, well, you know, I'm
11:29
just going to stay this way because it's
11:32
comfortable.
11:33
I don't have to worry about it.
11:35
Yes, but you may not necessarily be doing
11:36
something that's actually going to help you, right?
11:40
I think that's an important piece that many
11:44
people just don't understand, and they don't want
11:48
to understand.
11:49
And the reason I want to understand is
11:51
because, again, they're comfortable, and they know that
11:54
if they're comfortable that they can actually just
11:56
do what they want to do.
11:58
So let's be honest about this, guys.
12:00
Let's think about it from the get-go,
12:03
okay?
12:04
And know that you're going to have to
12:06
make a change if you want to grow,
12:08
right?
12:09
It's not going to be comfortable.
12:10
I'm sorry.
12:11
Number 14, interrupt behaviors before they become another
12:15
year's worth.
12:16
Yup.
12:16
So weeks become months, months become years.
12:20
Don't allow a pattern you already recognize to
12:23
quietly consume another year of your precious life.
12:27
That's a truth, guys.
12:29
Many of us are, oh my gosh, I've
12:30
been doing that for months.
12:31
I've been doing that for years.
12:33
Well, stop it.
12:34
Number 15, stop returning to what already failed
12:38
you.
12:39
Familiar solutions can feel comfortable even after they've
12:42
proven ineffective.
12:43
Give yourself permission to try a genuinely different
12:46
approach.
12:47
You might be pleasantly surprised.
12:49
Number 16, change what happens before the unwanted
12:53
result occurs again.
12:55
If you only attack the outcome, you may
12:58
miss the cause.
12:59
Look earlier in the sequence and change what
13:02
happens before the problem appears.
13:06
That's truthful.
13:07
Number 17, your environment may be reinforcing your
13:11
patterns and you don't know it yet.
13:13
Your surroundings influence behavior.
13:16
People, technology, schedules, and physical spaces can make
13:21
certain habits easier or harder.
13:25
Be careful not to reinforce the exact behavior
13:29
you say you want to change.
13:31
Make sure your rewards support the direction you're
13:35
trying to build and go.
13:38
Number 19, recognize the trigger before fighting the
13:43
outcome.
13:45
Patterns usually have triggers.
13:49
Learn from what starts the sequence, okay?
13:53
Recognizing the trigger gives you an earlier opportunity
13:55
to choose differently.
13:57
Number 20, create friction between you and your
14:02
worst habits.
14:04
Make unwanted behavior slightly harder.
14:07
Add another step, remove easy access, or change
14:10
the environment that makes behavior automatic.
14:14
And when you do that, you're going to
14:15
start to think and say, wait a minute,
14:16
I keep doing this, but why am I
14:18
doing this?
14:21
That's an important thing.
14:24
Number 21, make behavior better and easier to
14:29
repeat.
14:30
Do the opposite with positive habits.
14:32
Reduce the barriers, prepare ahead, make the better
14:35
choice easier to begin.
14:37
Number 22, stop waiting to feel different before
14:41
acting differently.
14:43
That's just a procrastination game you're going to
14:48
play.
14:48
You may not feel ready right now or
14:52
first.
14:53
Sometimes action comes before emotion, and that's normal.
14:59
Behave differently long enough and your feelings may
15:04
eventually catch up.
15:06
I think that's something, again, a lot of
15:08
people don't do because they're scared about becoming
15:12
uncomfortable.
15:13
That's a real big one.
15:15
They don't want to become uncomfortable, right?
15:19
But it's a truth, guys.
15:20
It's absolutely a truth, and it's something we
15:22
need to be aware of.
15:24
Number 23, new results require new repetitions.
15:30
New repetitions, not doing the same things over
15:34
and over again, right?
15:35
We need to do something new.
15:38
We know that if we do the same
15:39
thing over and over again, we're going to
15:41
get the same results.
15:43
Just like Einstein said, doing the same thing
15:46
over and over again isn't sad.
15:49
Number 24, your identity changes through the evidence
15:54
that shows up.
15:55
Every time you follow through, you give yourself
15:59
evidence about who you're becoming.
16:01
Confidence grows when your actions support the story
16:05
you're telling yourself.
16:07
And you might say, John, I've been telling
16:09
myself this story for a few weeks.
16:11
It might take time for that story to
16:13
change, right?
16:15
You became who you were because of the
16:18
story you were telling yourself before.
16:20
I think that's a very important thing to
16:27
understand.
16:28
And if you don't understand that, then you're
16:30
going to be like, oh my gosh, what
16:31
am I supposed to do?
16:33
You feel like you're locked in a gridlock,
16:36
okay?
16:38
And you can get out of this.
16:40
But the question is, how, right?
16:43
Every time you follow through, you give yourself
16:45
evidence about who you're becoming, as I say.
16:49
The confidence slowly grows.
16:51
It doesn't happen overnight, folks.
16:53
Let's be honest, right?
16:54
It's not like I flip a light switch
16:56
and suddenly, oh, I've got confidence.
16:57
It doesn't work like that, right?
17:00
It's a gradual progression.
17:03
That's the truth.
17:04
Number 25, give yourself proof that another pattern
17:11
is possible.
17:14
Once you show yourself that something else is
17:17
possible or even probable, you're going to change.
17:22
Don't demand a complete transformation immediately.
17:24
That'll just frustrate you.
17:26
Create one successful interruption, then another.
17:28
Show yourself that the pattern can be changed
17:30
and guess what?
17:31
It will be.
17:32
Number 26, don't confuse repetition with destiny.
17:36
Something happening repeatedly doesn't mean it must happen
17:40
forever.
17:41
Patterns are powerful, but patterns can be interrupted,
17:45
guys.
17:46
And when they're interrupted, our life is going
17:49
to change.
17:51
Never underestimate one meaningful adjustment.
17:55
Changing one repeated behavior can affect your health,
17:59
your work, relationships, confidence, or the opportunities that
18:04
are presented before you.
18:05
I think that's something a lot of people
18:06
miss.
18:07
Number 28, stop predicting tomorrow from yesterday.
18:11
So many people do.
18:12
It's like, well, you know, I did this
18:13
yesterday, so this should be different.
18:16
No.
18:17
Your past contains information, but it doesn't own
18:20
your future.
18:21
Yesterday only predicts tomorrow when you keep repeating
18:24
yesterday over and over and over again.
18:26
And you're like, why is this not changing?
18:29
Why am I getting the same results?
18:31
Because you're not changing, right?
18:34
You may not want to hear that because
18:37
you're like, well, you know, I want to
18:38
stay comfy under my warm blanket or in
18:41
my cool air conditioning.
18:44
I want to be comfortable.
18:45
Nothing wrong with being comfortable, but you need
18:47
to get uncomfortable sometimes so you can grow.
18:50
Number 29, you're not condemned to repeat yourself.
18:55
You can learn.
18:56
You can adapt.
18:57
You can respond differently.
18:59
You can change your environment, your habits, your
19:01
preparation, and your choices.
19:05
But why is it people don't?
19:08
I just told you.
19:09
People get so comfortable in the state which
19:12
they're in, and they figure that, you know,
19:15
I don't want to risk going somewhere else
19:19
because maybe I'm not going to like it.
19:23
Maybe I'm going to have to do something
19:25
different.
19:26
That's going to be hard for me to
19:28
accept.
19:30
Number 30, break the pattern before the pattern
19:33
builds your future.
19:36
Patterns happen, okay?
19:40
We have good habits and we have bad
19:42
habits, right?
19:43
What we call bad habits are patterns that
19:45
have happened of things we keep doing that
19:47
we don't want to repeat.
19:48
Good habits are patterns we're doing of things
19:51
we want to repeat.
19:53
That's truthful, guys.
19:55
So break the pattern before the pattern builds
19:57
your future.
19:59
And you might feel a little lost.
20:00
So this is the message I want you
20:02
to carry with you today.
20:04
Patterns don't remain isolated.
20:06
You might think they do.
20:08
Guess what they do, guys?
20:10
They compound.
20:11
They are cumulative.
20:19
That's an important thing, guys.
20:28
And that cumulative thing is something that a
20:30
lot of people just don't get.
20:33
And the reason they don't get it is
20:35
because they don't think that one little change
20:37
is to make a difference.
20:38
And you're right.
20:39
One little change tomorrow won't make a difference
20:41
immediately, but it will gradually over time, okay?
20:47
Repeat choice becomes a habit.
20:49
Habit influences your direction.
20:51
Your direction shapes your circumstances.
20:52
And eventually you can now find yourself living
20:55
inside a life built from thousands of decisions
20:58
you barely noticed ever making.
21:01
See, that's why our master weekly topic is
21:04
your next level will demand a different you.
21:07
Your next level, well, may not require you
21:10
to become an entirely different person overnight.
21:12
It may begin by becoming somebody who responds
21:15
differently at one critical moment.
21:18
Maybe you stop postponing something.
21:20
Maybe you change your morning routine.
21:22
Maybe you prepare instead of improvising.
21:25
Maybe you stop returning to something that repeatedly
21:27
fails.
21:29
Maybe you finally recognize the trigger that keeps
21:32
sending you backward.
21:34
Whatever it is, don't attempt to change everything
21:37
at once.
21:38
Find one pattern, okay?
21:41
Find one pattern.
21:44
Study it carefully.
21:47
Understand what triggers it.
21:49
Understand what rewards it.
21:50
Understand what environment supports it.
21:53
Then go and interrupt it.
21:57
And repeat the new behavior enough times that
22:00
you're no longer merely trying something different.
22:03
That's when change becomes powerful.
22:07
You start building evidence that you're capable of
22:10
another response.
22:11
That evidence creates confidence.
22:14
Confidence makes another better decision easier for us.
22:18
And those decisions begin creating another pattern.
22:21
That's how your direction changes, guys.
22:23
So, if you're telling yourself, I'm stuck, I
22:27
want you to challenge that statement, okay?
22:30
Ask yourself this instead.
22:32
What am I repeating?
22:34
Because that question gives you somewhere to begin.
22:40
You cannot always control everything happening around you.
22:43
But when you identify something you're repeatedly doing
22:46
that contributes to an outcome you don't want
22:48
anymore, you can discover how to stop it
22:51
by getting leverage against it.
22:54
Use it.
22:56
Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't know who
22:58
I am by now, I'm John C.
22:59
Morley.
23:00
And this has been another amazing episode of
23:04
the powerful inspirations for your life.
23:06
The show that helps you become a better
23:08
version of yourself.
23:10
But you know, here's the thing, guys.
23:12
You don't just watch a show or listen
23:14
to a show and be like, okay, I
23:16
got it.
23:16
And now I can change my life.
23:18
It takes time, right?
23:21
The habit that you developed took time.
23:25
You didn't notice what was going on while
23:27
it was developing.
23:29
But guess what happened?
23:31
You woke up like, wait a minute, this
23:32
changed.
23:33
It changed because you gradually did something.
23:36
So, you can affect that in another way,
23:39
guys.
23:40
You can affect that in another way.
23:42
A way that will give you clarity, but
23:48
a way that will give you control back
23:49
over your life.
23:50
Now, again, I'm going to tell you this.
23:52
It's not going to be easy.
23:56
Okay?
23:58
It's not going to be easy.
24:00
But I have faith in you guys and
24:01
confidence that you guys can do it.
24:04
You guys absolutely can do it.
24:08
You can do it.
24:11
But it's going to take you some time.
24:16
It's going to take your belief.
24:22
It's going to take your willingness to say,
24:26
you know what?
24:27
Maybe I didn't understand this, but maybe I
24:32
could change something and that might change my
24:34
outcome.
24:35
It will, but it's not going to change
24:37
it overnight, guys.
24:38
That's the whole key.
24:38
It won't change it overnight.
24:40
So, your past doesn't have to become your
24:43
future.
24:45
Right?
24:45
I think that's what we're saying.
24:47
Your habits aren't your destiny.
24:51
If you think they are, you don't realize
24:54
what neuroplasticity is.
24:56
The fact that we can change who we
24:57
are and who we're becoming.
25:00
Your patterns, ladies and gentlemen, aren't permanent.
25:03
So, if you don't like something, don't sleep
25:05
over it.
25:06
They're not permanent, but you have to make
25:09
the decision and choose to have that change.
25:13
New results require consistent repetitions.
25:19
Not doing it for one week, not doing
25:21
it for maybe a month.
25:23
You need to do it until it becomes
25:25
part of you.
25:26
I can't tell you how long it's going
25:28
to take.
25:28
Everybody is different.
25:29
Every situation is different.
25:32
New results require new repetitions.
25:37
That's not hard to understand.
25:39
What's hard is that it might feel uncomfortable
25:42
doing it.
25:43
In fact, it's gotta feel uncomfortable doing it.
25:45
That's a given, guys.
25:46
It's gonna feel uncomfortable and you're gonna be
25:48
like, oh my gosh, what do I do
25:49
now?
25:51
Well, if you know that nothing worked in
25:54
the past, why don't you change the way
25:56
you're acting?
26:00
But some people will be like, oh, I
26:02
don't know if I want to do that.
26:04
I don't know if I'm ready for it.
26:05
I'm gonna wait till it feels right.
26:07
Okay, you adapt that philosophy.
26:11
You're never gonna do it because it's never
26:13
gonna be a perfect time, never gonna be
26:15
a perfect situation.
26:18
You're gonna have to make the choice to
26:20
do it now.
26:21
And you can do it now.
26:24
As I said, new results require new repetitions.
26:28
This has been proven with science, guys.
26:30
This is not something that just came out
26:32
of thin air.
26:33
This is something that has been studied for
26:35
years and years and years and years.
26:38
And you guys can do this, but it's
26:41
gonna require you to become uncomfortable.
26:48
It's gonna require you to become uncomfortable.
26:55
It's gonna require you to become uncomfortable.
26:59
And when you become uncomfortable, you're like, wait
27:01
a minute, you know what?
27:01
I actually get this now.
27:03
I understand what's going on, but that's not
27:06
gonna happen overnight, okay?
27:07
So don't spend another year waiting for your
27:10
life to mysteriously just miraculously change.
27:13
Break the pattern before the pattern builds your
27:16
future.
27:17
And the thing is, people say to me,
27:18
John, can I change?
27:21
It's never too late to change, but here's
27:23
the question.
27:24
Here's the real truth.
27:26
It's harder to change the longer the pattern
27:29
has been within you.
27:30
That's the truth, guys.
27:31
So if the pattern's been in your system
27:34
for a long time, you're not gonna change
27:36
it overnight.
27:37
If you just adapted this pattern recently, maybe
27:39
you'll blow it away in a few days
27:41
to a week.
27:42
But if you've been using this pattern for
27:44
a year or more, you're just not gonna
27:45
change it overnight.
27:47
And I think that's what scares people.
27:49
People think that because I can't change in
27:52
a day or I can't change in a
27:53
week, that I can never change it.
27:56
That's a bad attitude.
27:57
You can do it, guys.
