What you all need to understand is that

whatever you believe about the reality

of your situation is not real. Whatever

you believe about the reality of

situation is determined by your brain.

And how do you know whether your brain

is cognitively biased or cognitively

fair? If your brain tells you that it's

not worth it or the brain tells you

don't bother because you're going to

fail. Those are the two thoughts that

happen when the dorsal rafi nucleus is

activated. So even when you're facing

those thoughts, this is what's really

wild. What you really need to do is just

exert some kind of control. So even if

you're faced with a situation where oh

like there's no way I can win this game,

then you need to ask yourself, what can

I do to try to increase my chances of

winning this game? And this is the crazy

thing, right? So if you look at

professionals who win tournaments versus

professionals who don't win tournaments,

what is the difference? They're all

professionals. One group asks themselves

in a hopeless situation, "What can I

do?" and theying win. And if you are

facing hopeless situations in your life

and you have these thoughts, don't

bother or doomed to fail. Exert whatever

little control you can. Do whatever you

can to improve your situation. Even if

your mind is telling you make your time,

you have no chance to survive. All your

base are belong to us. Your brain is

basically telling you that what you need

to do is exert some control. And then

your perception of whether you can

succeed or not will transform.
