That's what bravery is, is listening to that in the face of all the other factors in life that are trying to guide us or force us or seduce us into believing differently. So what I'm going to do also, which by the way, feel free to go over to Amazon or Barnes and Noble or I highly recommend as a guy that used to over 20 years ago work in bookstores, get out and go to a bookstore. I mean, they are really magical. They're portals. There are places where knowledge and wisdom abounds, and I highly recommend going into one and actually grabbing a copy in person and maybe looking around and seeing what else is in there. What do you find? I love this Mirakami quote. It was a Japanese author. It's quite brilliant, if you're not familiar. He says, don't read the books. I know, wait a minute. It's, he says, if you read the books that everyone else is reading, you'll think the way that everyone else is thinking. I'm just paraphrasing, but I like that quote. So go get something new. Go my book if you like and find something weird, find something that looks interesting to you, not something that's on the best seller list or propped out position of you to see it. Go look around and find something weird and you'll be surprised at how powerful that that little single copy of a dusty old weird looking book that just has that little essence to it that draws you in how much that can change your life. So what I'm going to do right now in this very moment is I'm going to read the first chapter to you of my book because I just thought that'd be a nice thing to do. I thought maybe it would be enjoyable and that you could get a vibe for what's going on and just maybe it would set your day up right today. So here we go. I'm just going to do this raw and drop this first chapter for you. It's not too long, so don't worry. You'll be able to finish your walk or whatever your drive to work or your breakfast or whatever it is that you're doing right now while you're listening to this. part one is called Clear Mind Bright Future. And I call it that because the first part of the book is really doing a lot of mental house cleaning. Because in order for us to grow, in order for us to change, we have to have a level of self awareness, and we need to recognize our negative behavior patterns, and our thinking. And once we label and understand and know how to work with those, we that's whenever we can begin to live an intentional life. The chapter one is called mindsets are magic and it's not joking because it's really true. And here we go. Here goes the book. First chapter one. You're open -minded. I love that about you. You know how I know this? Because you just picked up a book written with the goal of making your life better. If you weren't open -minded, you wouldn't believe improving your life as possible. You'd keep living in the same patterns you have been. You'd accept that you're powerless. You'd believe your only choice is to keep letting life happen to you. But that's not you. You're different. And what's amazing is that you're already succeeding at making your life better by reading this. Not because of anything you've read so far, because by choosing to take action and seek strategies, insights, perspectives, and practices that will help you grow, you've proven to yourself that you have power and are in charge of your future. Well done, you just placed yourself in a special group of people. See, writing daily for an audience of over half a million people has shown me something remarkable. People who elevate their lives all have one thing in common. They believe that more is possible for them. That may seem simple to you because, as we know, deep down you already feel that. But it's worth noticing how profound that is. Being able to look at your life and see opportunities instead of obstacles is what makes magic come alive. And you've got it. What's interesting is that even though most people can feel this is true deep in their core, they aren't sure how to make it real for themselves. They feel the energy inside of them but can't figure out how to start working toward a better life. Let me share with you how I know this is true. About two years ago, it was business as usual.
