I never forget, standing there in my bedroom
It was dark, it was cold... it was winter in Boston
And for the first time... in three months
I had beaten my habit of hitting the snooze button.
There are so many people in the world
You may be watching this right now
And you have these incredible ideas and what you
think is missing, is motivation and that's not true!
Because the way our minds are wired
and the fact about the human beings
Is that we are not designed to do things
that are uncomfortable or scary or difficult...
Our brains are designed to protect us from those things
Our brains are trying to keep us alive
And in order to change,
in order to build a business and in order to be the best
parent, best spouse and all those things you know you wanna do
With your lives, with your work, with your dreams
You gotta have to do things...
that are difficult... uncertain or scary
Which sets up this problem, for all of us
You are not gonna feel it, motivations are garbage...
you only feel motivated to do the things that are easy, right?
Q-Why do you think that is?
Oh, I know exactly... why that is
Because I studied this so much because for me the hardest thing is to
figure out "why is it so hard to do the
little things" that would improve my life
And what i come to realise, - we like talk a lot about today;
is that the way our minds are designed is -
our minds are designed to stop you... at all cost
From doin anything, that might hurt you
And the way,
these all happens is - these all start with something supre sutle
That none of us ever catch
And that is this habit
