Count how many times today you say "I'm just," or "this might sound crazy, but," or, "I can't,", or "I don't really." I taught this on Day 10 of my series, and I want you to actually use it, not just nod along. Those phrases are mental models, spoken out loud, in real time, shaping how a room sees you before you've even made your point. Here's the deeper thing underneath it. What you're looking at when you look at your life isn't reality. It's a narrative you stitched together so long ago it started feeling like fact. I proved it with my own story today: years ago I used to window shop on 5th Avenue and not even want the things in the windows. What I wanted was to stop feeling like I couldn't afford them. Today, same windows, I walk in and buy what I want. The street didn't change. The model did. Viktor Frankl wrote that choosing where you focus is the one freedom nobody can ever take from you, barring force or injury. He wrote that from inside a concentration camp. If he could hold onto that freedom there, the rest of us don't get to say it's too hard. Tonight's homework: name one thing you've been calling reality that might actually be a mental model. Then ask what changes if you audit it the way Frankl audited his focus. What's one disqualifying phrase you just realized you say constantly? *If you watch this on YouTube it will help my channel get this information in front of more like-minds and help our community grow!
