Wisdom and understanding

Everyone knows what they should do. Doing what you know, however, is rare. And that, right there, is the dividing line between happiness and misery, failure and success.

Knowing what to do is easy

If you keep showing up, you can’t help but succeed. But it's a rare thing: most people are in a state of passivity, not activity.

Showing up

Your mind, body, and emotions adapt to your expectations and standards.If you become comfortable with self-defeat and skepticism, your body and brain literally adjust themselves to meet that reality.

Adapting to expectations

“Eighty percent of success is showing up.”

When you're caught in a self-defeating cycle, it can feel impossible to get out. Quite disturbingly, you begin to believe the suffocation of negativity is "normal." As Dr. Joe Dispenza has said, "What if just by thinking we make our inner alchemy out of the normal state, the self-regulation system of the body eventually considers this abnormal state to be the normal one?"
