All right, hello and welcome to

this training. As you can see

from the title, what we're

going to be covering today is

how to achieve anything by

ignoring reality. And as you

can see from the overview, what

we're going to be discussing

more specifically is first the

overview itself, the backwards

equation, seeing the equation,

flipping the variables, holding

the inversion through the lag,

the review and then your action

items for the day or the next

few days.

With that said, and out of the

way, let's get started and talk

about the backwards equation.

So what I want to walk you

through today is something that

genuinely changed how I think

about pretty much everything.

And it starts with a really

simple observation that there

is an equation underneath our

lives, underneath our money,

our health, our relationships,

all of it.

And the thing is, most of us

have read it backwards for as

long as we can remember, which

means every decision you've

made and every pattern you've

fallen into has been built on a

sequence that was inverted from

the start.

And once you see that, once you

really get it, and I believe

you will after this training, a

lot of things that never made

really a lot of sense before

suddenly click into place.

So here's how the equation runs

for most people. And this

probably describes your default

mode as well. And it describes

almost everyone's.

And the way it plays out is

really something happens in

your external world, in your

reality.

Your mind then immediately

generates a thought about it

that thought produces a feeling

you act from that feeling and

then those actions produce more

of the same kind of reality,

which triggers the same

thoughts and the same feelings

again.

And so the whole thing just

loops over and over and over

again, without you ever

noticing that you're the one

keeping it going.

And the reason it's so hard to

catch is that the whole

sequence really happens on

autopilot, like you wake up,

you check your phone, maybe you

see something that stresses you

out.

And then a thought fires before

you're even really conscious of

it. And it can be anything it

can be this isn't good, or I'm

falling behind. And then that

thought instantly produces a

response in your body a feeling.

It could be a tightness in your

chest, it could be a low hum of

anxiety that just sits there

for the rest of the day and

from that place, you then start

making decisions you start

interacting with people and

reality and making and make

choices.

And you carry that energy into

everything, essentially, which

is how you end up at the end of

most days feeling like nothing

has really changed. You spent

the entire day reacting to

circumstances that were already

old already finished already

the output of a previous cycle.

And then you use those old

outputs as the raw material for

your next round of thinking and

feeling. So of course, the

result looks the same.

And the really tricky part is

that none of this really feels

like a choice. It feels like

just how life works, which is

exactly why most people never

really question it.

And it keeps running the same

in the background, the same

loop for years or even decades

without people really realizing

there's another way to operate.

And the thing is the whole

sequence feels so obvious and

so natural that nobody ever

stops to question it. Of course,

you think negative thoughts

when bad things happen, right?

Of course, those thoughts make

you feel a certain way. And

then of course, you react from

that place. You're just

reacting to the world, right?

Of course, that's just being a

reasonable person, right?

But that right there is the

trap. What you're actually

doing when you run that

sequence is really letting the

output of your life dictate the

input.

And when you do that, you're

locked into producing the same

result every time. So it's sort

of like being stuck in a

feedback loop where the answer

keeps feeding back into the

question and the question keeps

producing the same answer.

And on and on it goes and you

just go around and around

wondering why your life feels

like it's on repeat when the

mechanism causing the

repetition is something you're

doing every single day without

awareness.

And every time you let your

circumstances trigger the same

automatic thoughts, which

produce the same feelings,

which drive the same reactions,

you're basically telling your

system, yes, this is real, this

is important, keep building

more of this,

which means your reactions are

reinforcing the very reality

you're trying to change. And

that's why willpower alone can't

really break the cycle. The

cycle is running at a deeper

level than willpower can

actually reach.

So whatever you're looking at

right now in your life, maybe

it's your bank account, maybe

it's your body, maybe it's your

relationships, all of that is

basically a printout, right?

Just like the image shows.

And I mean that in a very

literal sense is the result of

an equation that was already

solved weeks or months or even

years ago by the thoughts you

were thinking in the feelings

you were carrying at that time,

which means the reality you're

experiencing today is all data.

It's already finished. And it

has nothing to do with what's

actually possible for you going

forward.

So think of your current

circumstances as a kind of

energetic history, a record of

where your internal state was

at some earlier point. And the

reason that matters is that

most people look at that record,

and they treat it like it's a

live feed.

They think this is what's

happening right now when really

it's more like reading last

month's report and mistaking it

for today's one.

So basically there is a delay

between when you change

internally and when that change

shows up externally. And it's

built in. It's a built in

feature of how all of this

works.

So if you're judging your

progress by what you can see in

front of you right now, you're

always going to be looking at

evidence from an older version

of yourself, which is genuinely

misleading if you don't

understand the mechanics.

So the stuff that's showing up

in your life today is residual

is the echo of a previous

internal state is the echo of a

cause that was a long time ago.

And the sooner you really

internalize that the sooner you

stop giving it so much weight,

because you realize you're

reading the receipt from a

transaction that has already

happened.

And that that receipt tells you

nothing about what the next

transaction is going to look

like the better.

So this is actually a really

freeing thing. Once you really

understand it, it means your

current reality isn't a verdict.

It isn't some final judgment on

who you are or what you're

capable of.

And I know most of you probably

know this to a degree is just

the tail end of an older

process.

You know that your future is

probably brighter than your

current reality, but you most

likely don't know that the

current reality is just a

result of what happened maybe

years ago.

It's just the, as I said, the

tail end of an older process

and the equation that produced

it has already been solved,

which means you're free to

write a completely new one

starting right now.

And what comes out the other

side of that new equation will

most likely look nothing like

what you're seeing today, which

is honestly one of the most

liberating realizations you can

have.

It takes the pressure off of

your current situation entirely

and you stop fighting what's in

front of you and you stop

trying to fix the printout.

And instead you put all of your

energy into writing better

inputs, which is the only thing

that actually moves the needle.

And that shift from fixing the

output to changing the input is

basically the whole game.

It's what separates people who

stay stuck in the same patterns

from people who seem to create

change almost effortlessly.

So the second group figured out

that you don't change your life

by wrestling with reality.

You change it by changing what

goes into the equation first.

So the default equation, the

one that almost everyone is

running unconsciously runs in a

loop of circumstances, create

thoughts, those thoughts create

feelings, those feelings create

some actions, and then those

lead to the same circumstances.

And that's a closed loop. There's

no exit point. You just keep

cycling through the same

sequence over and over and over

again.

And the reason it feels so inescapable

is that at every point in the

chain, the next step feels like

the only logical response to

the one before it.

So it never occurs to you that

the whole chain could be

reversed, right?

And what makes this especially

hard to see is that the default

equation feels like reality

itself.

It feels like this is just how

cause and effect works.

Most people never really

question it. They just assume

that the outside world causes

their thoughts and feelings and

that's that.

And then they spend their whole

lives trying to rearrange the

external circumstances, hoping

it will make them feel

different, which sometimes

works temporarily,

but never really lasts because

the underlying equation hasn't

changed.

And a big part of why this is

so ingrained is that you are

conditioned into it from a very

young age.

Your parents and your teachers

and culture all model the

default equation for you.

They taught you implicitly,

mostly, that your thoughts and

feelings are caused by what

happens to you, which set up

the whole pattern before you

were old enough to even

question it.

So by the time you're an adult,

running the default equation

feels natural. It's as natural

as breathing.

You don't even register it as a

pattern, let alone a pattern

that you could actually change,

which is why the first step in

breaking out of it is simply

becoming aware that it actually

exists.

You can't invert something you

haven't even noticed.

And what I'm telling you is

that this whole chain is

running in the wrong direction.

The actual order is the reverse

of what you've been taught.

And the moment you understand

that the moment you really get

that thoughts and feelings come

first and reality follows and

that you ignore reality and

just create thoughts and

feelings,

everything starts to make a

different kind of sense and you

start to see why some people

seem to create results almost

magnetically while others grind

away for years and barely move

the needle.

So the inverted equation, the

one that actually produces

change, flips the order to

thoughts, create feelings,

create actions, which create

new circumstances.

And the key difference is that

in this version, you're

absolutely ignoring reality.

You're the one choosing the

starting point instead of

letting your environment choose

it for you, which puts you back

in control of the whole chain.

And that's what this whole

training is really about.

It's about learning to run the

equation in the right direction

and the three steps I'm going

to walk you through are the

practical tools for actually

doing it in your daily life,

starting with the most

fundamental one, which is

simply learning to see the

equation in the first place.

Now, the reason most people's

lives feel like their own

repeat, like the same problems

keep cycling back around no

matter what they do,

is because they keep looking at

the old printout and using it

as the input for the next round

of thinking and feeling,

which just produces another

version of the same printout.

And then they look at that one

and they react to it again and

do the whole thing over and

over and over again.

And you can run that loop for

decades, honestly, without ever

realizing that you're the one

sustaining it.

And it's worth pointing out

that this applies to everything,

not just money or career stuff.

It shows up in your

relationships where you keep

attracting the same kind of

person or the same kind of

dynamic.

It shows up in health where you

keep falling back into the same

patterns no matter how many

diets or programs you try.

And it shows up in your general

mode and energy because all of

those things are outputs of the

same underlying equation.

So if you've ever had that

feeling of here we go again,

that sense that you're

basically dealing with the same

issue in a slightly different

costume,

that's the default equation

doing exactly what it was

designed to do, which is

produce consistent results

based on a consistent input.

And the input hasn't changed

because you've been letting the

outputs write it.

And once you see this pattern

in one area of your life, you'll

be able to start seeing it

everywhere because it really is

universal.

It's the same mechanism playing

out across every domain, which

is both a little overwhelming

at first, but also incredibly

empowering.

There's one thing to fix, one

equation to invert, and that

inversion ripples out across

everything else.

And I want to be clear, this

isn't about blaming yourself,

right? When you understand that

you've been running the

equation backwards,

yes, the natural response might

be a little bit of frustration

or guilt, but that's the old

equation trying to reassert

itself.

The much more useful response

is to just go, "Okay, now I see

it and now I can change it,"

almost as if you just finally

got the answer to a

mathematical equation, to a

math problem,

which is exactly what we're

going to do in the next section.

And it's really that mechanical.

It's just a sequence that can

be run in one direction or

another, and most people happen

to be running it in the

direction that keeps them stuck.

And once you learn to run it in

the other direction, the

results change, and they change

in ways that feel almost

surprising at first because you're

so used to the old output.

And that's honestly the thing I

want you to walk away with from

this section, that the reason

in your life maybe looks a

certain way,

or the way it does look right

now, is completely

understandable. It's completely

explainable and completely

changeable, because it's all

just the output of an equation,

and equations can be rewritten.

So with that said, let's cover

seeing the equation. So before

you can actually flip anything

around, you have to actually

see what's happening.

The default equation runs so

automatically, so far below the

surface of your conscious

awareness, that most people go

through their entire day

reacting to reality, without

once catching themselves in the

act.

And that automatic quality is

exactly what gives it so much

power, since you can't really

change a process you haven't

even identified yet.

And what I mean by seeing the

equation in us is honestly

pretty straightforward. It's

just starting to pay attention

to the specific moments in your

day where your external

circumstances are dictating how

you think and how that thinking

is shaping how you feel, and

then recognizing that in those

moments, you're running the old

sequence.

You're letting the printout

write the next equation. You're

basically feeding the answer

back into the formula, which is

exactly the mechanism that

keeps the loop locked into

place.

So for example, let's say you

check your bank balance, and it's

lower than you want.

A thought fire is instantly

most likely something like, I'm

not where I should be, or I

spent too much last weekend.

And that thought drops

something in your body, right,

that heaviness, that tightness.

And the whole thing happens in

half a second, completely on

autopilot, without you making

any conscious choice about it.

And from that lowered state,

you go about your day carrying

that weight into every

conversation and every decision

you make.

And the speed of it is part of

what makes it so invisible,

because by the time you're

aware of the thought that fired,

that along the feeling it's

created, you've already reacted.

The equation has already run,

and now you're living inside

the output of that reaction,

making it feel like the

emotional state is just the

truth.

When really it was generated by

a mechanical process you didn't

even notice.

And this happens dozens of

times today, honestly, not just

with money, but with everything.

Someone says something dismissive,

and maybe your mind interprets

it in a certain way that shifts

your mood.

Or you see someone on social

media doing better than you,

and a thought fires that

contracts something inside.

Or maybe you hit the setback in

your work, and the story your

mind tells about it, drops your

whole energy.

And each one of those moments

is basically an instance of the

default equation firing.

And each one reinforces the

loop that keeps your reality

looking the same.

And the thing about these micro

reactions is that they

accumulate.

Even if no single one of them

seems like a big deal, by the

end of the day you basically

run the default equation 50 or

100 times without catching it.

And all of those reactions have

collectively set the emotional

tone that's going to shape what

shows up next in your life.

Which is why awareness alone,

or just the act of starting to

notice, is so much more

powerful than it sounds on the

surface, because every time you

catch the thought mid-flight,

you're interrupting a compounding

process, you're pulling back

one brick out of the wall that

the default equation is trying

to build.

And over time those interruptions

add up to a fundamentally

different internal landscape,

right?

Now, here's a useful way to

really think about your

recurring problems.

They're kind of like background

apps running on your phone.

They're just sitting there

quietly, they consume energy,

and every time you open one of

them, every time you give it

your attention and your

emotional investment,

you're telling the system, "Keep

this one active, this one

really matters."

And it stays in the loop, which

is why some issues seem to

follow you around for years,

even when you think you've

dealt with them.

And you only have so much

emotional bandwidth in a given

day.

And if half of it is going to

background processes that are

just recycling old patterns,

then you have that much less

available for actually creating

something new.

Which is why people often feel

exhausted, even when they haven't

really done anything.

Their internal system was busy

running old equations all day

long.

So one of the most powerful

moves you can actually make,

and this sounds almost too

simple, is to just stop opening

the app.

Meaning stop engaging with the

old pattern when it pops up.

Let it sit there without

clicking on it, and eventually

it times out on its own.

These patterns can only sustain

themselves when you keep

feeding them your attention and

your emotional energy.

And this is really the same

principle we talked about

earlier with the printout.

The idea that your current

reality is sustained by ongoing

input.

So when you withdraw the input,

which is in practical terms

means withdrawing your

emotional reactivity, the

pattern starts to lose its hope.

It starts to fade because there's

nothing feeding it anymore.

And what you're really learning

to do here is really become

more selective about what gets

your cognitive and emotional

energy.

Because right now most people

are just broadcasting their

energy at whatever is loudest

in their environment.

Or whatever is most urgent or

most stressful or most in their

face.

And that's how the default

equation stays in control.

So the shift is really learning

how to consciously choose where

your energy goes, instead of

letting circumstances make that

choice for you.

And this doesn't mean suppressing

your feelings or pretending

things don't bother you.

That's a different thing

entirely, right?

What it means is developing the

ability to notice a thought

rising and then choosing

whether to invest in it or let

it pass, which is a skill.

It takes practice and it gets

easier the more you do it.

And honestly, this is probably

the most underrated skill in

personal development.

I think everyone wants the

advanced techniques and the big

breakthroughs.

But the ability to simply

notice your own thinking in

real time and choose

differently is the foundation

that everything else is built

on.

Because without none of the

other steps really work.

You have to do that in one way

or another in order to create

change.

So the practical move here, and

this is something you can start

doing literally today, is what

I call the equation check.

And all it takes is a few times

a day.

You just pause for a second and

ask yourself, am I reacting to

my reality right now?

Or am I creating it?

That's it. That one question.

Because the moment you catch

the thought that's driving your

reaction,

you've already stepped outside

the loop for just a second.

And that second of awareness is

where the inversion becomes

possible.

Now, the pause itself is the

thing, really.

In the default equation, there

is no pause.

The thought fires, the feeling

follows, the action happens.

There's nothing in between.

So when you insert even a tiny

gap between what happens and

how you react and how you think,

you fundamentally change the

mechanics of the process.

You've created a space where

choice can exist, and that

space is where all of the real

work happens.

Between stimulus and response,

there is a space, and in that

space is your freedom and your

power to choose.

And that's essentially what the

equation check is designed to

give you.

It's a tool for creating that

space reliably multiple times a

day,

so that you're not just hoping

for moments of awareness, but

actively generating them.

And consistency matters here

more than intensity, as with a

lot of things in life,

it's much better to do three or

four brief equation checks

spread throughout your day

than to do one big meditation

in the morning and then run on

autopilot for the next 16 hours.

Because the default equation

fires all day long, so your

awareness practice needs to be

distributed across the day too.

And every time you do this,

every time you catch the

automatic thought in the middle

of firing and then you pause,

you're essentially weakening

the automacity of the default

equation just a little bit.

And over days and weeks, those

small disruptions accumulate

into something really

significant

because the loop that's been

running your life can only

maintain itself really through

uninterrupted repetition.

Each interruption is chipping

away at its foundation.

And the results are cumulative

in a way that's easy to

underestimate at first,

because on any given day, the

equation check might feel small

and unremarkable,

but if you do it consistently

for a few weeks, you'll start

to notice that your baseline

emotional state has shifted.

There's sure less reactive

generally that things that used

to hook you just don't land the

same way,

and that's the default equation

losing its grip.

And this is really the

foundational practice for

everything that comes next,

because without this ability to

see the equation and interrupt

it, the other two steps won't

stick.

You'll try to invert things,

but the default pattern will

keep pulling you back.

So treat the step as the ground

floor and give it the attention

it really deserves.

And look, I want to be honest

with you about why this is

difficult, and it should be.

Your nervous system is

literally built to read reality

first and then respond second.

It's a survival mechanism, and

it has kept humans alive for

hundreds of thousands of years,

and you're asking it to operate

in a way that feels

fundamentally counterintuitive,

which is why it takes real

practice and patience and a

willingness to be bad at it for

a while before it starts to

become more natural.

Because survival mode and

creation mode, I believe, are

genuinely two different ways of

being.

And your body defaults to

survival because that's what

kept your ancestors alive.

So when you start trying to

override that default, there's

going to be resistance,

there's going to be discomfort,

and your system is most likely

going to protest,

because it thinks you're doing

something dangerous, right,

even though you're actually

just doing something that will

change your life.

And the wiring of this goes

deep. It isn't some minor habit

that you can just decide to

stop.

It's a neurological pattern

that's been reinforced by every

experience you've ever had,

and you're not going to catch

every reaction right away, and

that's completely fine for the

perfectionist out there.

The goal is to just catch more

of them over time on average,

and the trend matters

infinitely more than any single

instance.

So be patient with the process

and trust that even catching

yourself one or two extra times

a day or a week is meaningful

progress,

because each catch is a small

proof of concept and it shows

that the default equation can

be actually interrupted,

and that you're not completely

at the mercy of your reactions,

and that alone will start to

shift something fundamental in

how you relate to your own

experience.

So really, what you're doing

with this whole first step is

building the capacity to

override a system that's been

running unchecked your entire

life,

which is a big deal if you

think about it, and it's worth

acknowledging that rather than

rushing through it,

because the people who take

this step seriously and really

practice it are the ones who

make the other two steps work

better.

The people who skip it or treat

it as obvious are the ones who

end up back in the same loop

six months later wondering what

happened.

So think of this as the

foundation, the thing that

everything else really rests on,

and give it the weight it

deserves in your daily practice,

because if you can consistently

see the equation firing in real

time,

you've already done something

that most people never managed

to do, and from that place of

awareness, the inversion

becomes genuinely possible.

And once you've built this

awareness muscle up to the

point where you're catching

yourself regularly throughout

the day,

where the equation check has

become almost second nature,

that's when you're ready for

the second step,

which is where things really

start to get interesting,

because now you're going to

take that awareness and use it

to actually flip the variables

around.

So let's talk about flipping

the variables.

Now, once you see the equation

running, the next move is to

really invert it,

and this is where the whole

thing starts to get really

interesting,

because what you're doing here

is deliberately choosing the

thoughts and generating the

feelings of the reality you

want before any evidence of it

shows up in your life.

And honestly, this is the step

that most people either skip

entirely or do halfway, and it's

one that matters the most,

because this is where the

actual direction of the

equation really changes.

So here's what I mean in

practical terms.

In the default equation, you

wait for something good to

happen, your mind thinks a

thought about it, and then you

feel good about it.

That's the normal order that

everyone's used to, or

something bad happens, your

mind thinks a thought about it,

and then you feel bad about it.

That's just the normal order

that everyone's used to.

But in the inverted equation,

you choose the thought first,

which generates the feeling,

you create the internal state

deliberately and on purpose,

and then you let reality

reorganize around that.

So you're writing the input

side of the equation by hand

instead of letting your

circumstances fill it in for

you, which completely changes

what comes out on the other end.

Now, the key word here is first,

because the timing is

everything, right?

You're not thinking, empowering

thoughts and feeling good in

response to something good that

happened.

You're generating them before

anything has changed, which can

feel counter-intuitive and even

a little crazy at first, but

that's exactly the inversion.

That's the whole point. You're

reversing the direction of

cause and effect in your own

experience, and it has to be

deliberate.

It has to be something you do

on purpose with intention,

because your default system is

always going to want to read

reality first and then respond

second, which is why this step

requires active practice.

Often, you can't just hope your

thoughts and feelings will

change on their own. You have

to actually choose them, which

is a very different thing.

So you can see the image of the

default equation and the

inverted equation.

And there's a real reason this

works, by the way. It's

grounded in something your

nervous system actually does.

Your brain at a neurological

level genuinely cannot tell the

difference between a vividly

felt internal experience and

the one that's actually

happening in the external world.

So if you really sit with the

thoughts and feelings of

financial security, for example,

if you let your body relax into

how you would think at that

point and what that would feel

like in your chest and your

shoulders and your breathing,

then your nervous system

responds to that signal the

same way it would respond to a

real event, because your

biology doesn't fact check the

source.

It just processes whatever data

it receives.

And there's a substantial body

of research on this in

neuroscience, the basic finding

that being that mental

rehearsal activates many of the

same neuro pathways as actual

experience, which is why

athletes use visualization so

effectively.

And it's the same mechanism at

work here.

Except instead of rehearsing a

physical performance, you're

rehearsing a cognitive and

emotional state.

So when you sit in the morning

and genuinely feel into the

state of the person who already

has what you want, your biology

is responding to that as if it's

real.

Your hormones most likely will

shift your nervous system will

calibrate to that frequency and

your whole physiology will

start to align with a different

reality.

And that physiological shift is

what changes the input of the

equation at the most

fundamental level.

Now, the beautiful thing about

this is that your body doesn't

argue with it. It doesn't say,

well, actually, you don't have

that yet.

So I'm not going to respond. It

just processes the signal,

which means you have the

ability to manually set your

internal state, regardless of

what's happening outside of you.

And that's the inversion in

action.

So the morning practice I'd

recommend, and this is

something I do myself, is

spending about five minutes

before you do anything else

before you check your phone,

before you let the world and

just sitting with a version of

you who already has what you

want.

And I want to be specific about

what I mean, because it isn't

visualization the way most

people think of it.

You're not trying to picture a

mansion or a car or a perfect

body here, you're thinking and

feeling into a state, the

internal experience of being

the person who already lives

that reality.

What I mean by that is the

particular combination of

thoughts and feelings that will

be present if your desired

reality was already your

current one.

So for some people, that's a

deep calm and a sense of

certainty. For others, it can

be just a warm confidence.

For others, it's a quiet

gratitude mixed with excitement.

The exact flavor will be

different for everyone, but the

key is that it's felt, it's a

felt experience in your body,

not a picture in your mind, or

a sense of sentence that you

repeat, like an affirmation, it's

a felt experience.

So you're really looking for a

whole body experience here,

because that level of embodiment

is what makes the signal strong

enough for your nervous system

to respond to it.

And it helps to get really

specific with yourself about

what the thoughts and feelings

actually are.

And five minutes is genuinely

enough. You don't need to sit

for an hour doing this. What

matters is the quality of the

thoughts and the feelings and

how fully you let yourself drop

into them.

And if you do it consistently

every morning, it becomes the

state that you carry into the

rest of your day, which means

you're really running the

inverted equation from the very

start of your day.

And consistency is the thing

that makes this work long term,

because obviously a single

session feels nice, but doesn't

really change much, whereas

doing it every day for weeks

starts to fundamentally shift

your baseline state.

So you can think of it as a

compounding investment. Each

session adds a little bit to

the total and over time those

small deposits add up to a

completely different internal

state, which is going to

produce obviously a completely

different set of outputs in

your external reality.

Now the compounding effect is

why people who stick with this

for a few months often describe

the results as feeling almost

sudden, even though the process

was very gradual.

And the reason this matters so

much, the reason I'm spending

this much time on it is because

the thought and the feeling it

produces are the actual

variables that determine the

output of the equation.

Everything else, the money, the

relationship, the health, the

opportunities, those are all

downstream of an internal state

that was held consistently

enough and long enough for

reality to reorganize around it.

And most people are focused

entirely on the external things

they want.

The amount in the bank, maybe

the relationship, the body, and

they're trying to create those

things directly through effort

and strategy, which sometimes

works but doesn't really last

because the underlying input,

your thoughts, feelings, and

who you believe you are haven't

really changed.

So the stuff is always

downstream, it's always the

effect.

And the thoughts and the

feelings are always the cause

and when you really get that

when it stops being a concept

and becomes something you

actually live by, then you stop

chasing outcomes and you start

managing your thinking and your

internal state, which is the

only lever that actually

controls the output of the

equation in a lasting way.

And the only part that you can

actually fully control.

So when you sit down in the

morning and do this practice,

you're essentially giving

reality a new set of

instructions to solve for your

plugging a different value into

the input side of the equation

and over time, as you hold that

value more and more

consistently, the output has to

change, because the input

changed and that's genuinely

just how equations work right.

There's no version of this

where you change one side, and

the other stays the same indefinitely.

And that inevitability is

something important.

And it's, it, you need to be

able to trust because during

the process, it can really feel

uncertain, it can feel like

nothing's happening, but the

math is the math.

If the input is different than

the output will eventually be

different as well.

And holding on to that

understanding is what gets you

through the difficult middle

part.

Once you've started flipping

the variables, once you're

regularly generating your

internal state before your

external world gives you a

reason to, you're going to run

into something that trips up

almost everyone and that's the

lag between when the input

changes and when the output

catches up.

So let's talk about holding the

inversion through the lag.

So this is the part where most

people fall off and honestly is

the most important part to

really understand because when

you start running invert the

inverted equation when you

genuinely shift your thinking

and your internal state and

start thinking and feeling

differently on the inside, your

external reality doesn't update

right away.

There's a delay, a gap, and

that gap is where almost

everyone gives up and really

flips back to the default

equation and they interpret the

delay as proved that the

inversion didn't work.

Now the lag makes sense if you

think about the momentum

involved. You might have spent

5, 10, 20 years running the old

equation in one direction,

building up all this momentum

through repetition, thinking

certain thoughts, feeling

certain feelings, acting from

those patterns over and over

again.

And that momentum doesn't just

stop the moment you decide to

change. It can take some time

to slow down and then reverse

direction, which is completely

normal and completely expected

as logical as well.

The old output you're seeing

right now is the result of all

that accumulated momentum and

it's still being delivered to

you because it was already in

the pipeline. It was already

queued up, already on its way

and nothing you do today can

really recall it or speed up

the transition.

All you can do is keep putting

new inputs into the equation

and then wait for the new

outputs to start arriving as

well.

And this is where patience

becomes genuinely important.

The lag can last days or weeks

or sometimes longer. It can

last years or months depending

on how much momentum the old

equation really had.

And during that time, you're

essentially living in two

realities at once. Your

internal state says one thing

and your external world says

another. And that tension is

uncomfortable.

I get it completely, but it's

also the clear sign that the

inversion is working and ask

every successful person. They

will tell you that this is the

most important part of holding

your thinking, holding your

mindset in the right place,

holding your thinking and

feelings in the right place in

your internal state.

It's during that lag. Now

during the lag, the old reality

is going to scream louder than

it ever has because bills are

still going to come, right?

There's still going to be

people acting in the same way

with you. There's still going

to be setbacks that happen and

all of it is going to feel like

evidence that nothing has

really changed.

But what's actually happening

is that the old equation is

finishing its print run. Those

last pages from the previous

job are still coming through

the printer.

And the worst thing you can do

is look at those old pages and

then conclude that your new

equation didn't go through

because it did. It's just

waiting in line.

So the old outputs that show up

during the lag aren't new

problems. They're old ones that

were already in transit. They

were created by the previous

input and they're being

delivered on schedule.

You should have just expected

them. And the fact that they're

still arriving doesn't mean

anything about what's coming

next. That's even more

important to realize.

It just means that the delivery

system has a built-in delay the

same way as when you order from

Amazon or whatever, right? You

pay and for a moment there, you

have paid the money. It has exited

your bank account and you still

haven't received the thing that

you've ordered from Amazon.

This is genuinely the most

misleading part of the whole

process because your logical

mind is going to look at the

evidence and construct a very

convincing argument that

nothing has changed and nothing

is going to change.

And that argument is going to

feel reasonable and rational

and most likely quote-unquote

realistic. But it's based

entirely on old data, which

makes it irrelevant to what's

actually being created on the

input side of the equation.

And I want sugarcoated. This

part feels like a test. It

feels like the universe, God,

life, your mind, whatever you

want to call it, is checking

whether you really mean it or

whether you're going to fold at

the first sign of resistance.

And while I don't really think

of it as a cosmic text, the

test exactly, the functional

reality is the same. The lag is

where your commitment to the

inverted equation either holds

or breaks.

And that commitment is the only

thing that really determines

the outcome. Now, this, by the

way, is what separates people

who actually transform their

lives from people who just keep

cycling through the same old

patterns.

Because the information is

really out there, right?

Everyone has access to these

ideas now. But the people who

break through are the ones who

can hold the new input even

when the old output is still

showing up everywhere around

them.

That capacity to actually hold

is the real skill is the thing

that can be taught that can't

be taught through concepts

alone. It has to be built

through practice.

And holding here means that

when the old reality pushes

back when the lag delivers

another piece of evidence from

the old equation from your old

life from your old way of

thinking and feeling, you don't

take the bait.

You don't let it reset your

thinking and your internal

state back to the default. You

just acknowledge what's

happening. You feel whatever

you feel for a moment, and then

you consciously return to the

chosen thoughts and emotional

signature you set in step two,

because that's the input that

matters.

And every time you return to it

after a disruption, you're

actually strengthening the

strengthening the inverted

equation rather than weakening

it.

So each return to your chosen

state after a disruption is

actually making the inversion

stronger because you're not

just maintaining the new input.

You're proving to your nervous

system that this state can

survive contact with

contradictory evidence, which

builds the resilience that

makes each subsequent

disruption easier to handle.

So the lag period as

uncomfortable as it is, is

actually the part of the

process where the most growth

happens, because it's where you

build the capacity to hold an

internal state independently of

external circumstances.

And that capacity is the whole

game. Right. Once you have it,

the inversion becomes self

sustaining and the external

changes follow naturally and

this is the, this, this

capacity, the skill of being

able to control your thoughts

and control your feelings is

really one of the most underrated.

I think skills to success

really in any field, not just

financial success. And I want

to stress again that this is

pretty mechanical. It's just

the way the system works. There's

a delay between cause and

effect. The old outputs need

time to clear.

And your job is during that

time is simply to not flip the

equation back to default. That's

it. You don't need to do

anything else. You just need to

hold your position and keep

feeding the new input into the

equation.

And the more systematically you

approach this, the easier it

gets, meaning if you have a

clear morning practice like we

talked about in step two, and

you have the equation check

running a few times throughout

the day from step one, you

basically built a system that

supports the inversion auto.

So you're not really relying on

willpower anymore. You have

actual practices in place that

keep the new input flowing even

on difficult days.

And that's why the three steps

work together as a system

rather than as an isolated

technique because step one

gives you the awareness to cash

the default equation. Step two

gives you the practice for

setting the new input.

And then step three is really

about maintaining that new

input through the period where

the old output is still visible.

And each step supports the

other two.

So the practical technique for

really getting through the lag

is what I call the lag reframe.

And it goes like this. Whenever

all the reality pushes back,

whenever something shows up

that looks like proof that

nothing is really changing, you

recognize it for what it is.

Old output already finished

already irrelevant to what you're

actually building right now.

And then instead of engaging

with it, you bring your

attention back to the internal

state. You set in step two, you

reconnect with that feeling to

the thoughts, you hold it and

you let the old output pass

through without giving it any

more of your energy.

Now, the reason this works as a

technique is because it gives

your mind something specific to

do in the moment of disruption.

Instead of just trying to not

react, which is vague and hard

to execute, you're giving

yourself a concrete reframe

that puts the old output in

context.

And that context immediately

takes the emotional charge out

of it. You're no longer

interpreting it as current

evidence. You're interpreting

it as old data that's just

being cleared away.

So the reframe can be almost

immediate once you practice it

a few times to the point where

you see an old pattern showing

up and your first first thought

is just old stuff, and you just

move on.

So it's simple enough to

remember and use even when you're

stressed, which is exactly when

you need it most. So keep it in

your back pocket and use it

every time the lag tries to

pull you back into the old

equation.

Now, after you use the reframe,

the redirect back to your

chosen thoughts and emotional

state is really the critical

second step because the reframe

alone will of course just

neutralize that old trigger,

but it doesn't generate any new

input.

So you need to actively bring

your attention back to the

thoughts and the feelings from

your morning practice, even

just for 10 or 15 seconds.

It doesn't need to be a long

process in the moment, just a

quick reconnection, just a

brief dropping in to those

thoughts and feelings of

certainty or calm or whatever

your cognitive and emotional

signature was just enough to reestablish

the signal.

And each time you do this, each

time you reframe and redirect,

you're stacking another data

point in favor of the new

equation.

And those data points

accumulate into a new normal, a

new baseline, and eventually

the lag just ends, right? And

the new output starts showing

up in your life.

So the question you want to be

asking yourself during the lag

isn't, "Has my reality changed

yet?" Because that's as if you're

asking, "Every 10 minutes, are

we there yet?"

And that question just keeps

you focused on the output,

which is exactly the wrong

place to look during this phase.

The real question is, "Have I

changed?" Because in any

endeavor where you aim to be

successful, whether that's in

sports or business or whatever,

at the end of the day, the

biggest results come from you

changing.

And the whole process, the

whole journey is you changing

as a person. And the shift in

your external world is always a

downstream consequence of the

shift in you, right?

And if you're genuinely holding

a different internal state, if

you're a different person in

terms of your thoughts and your

feelings, if you're running the

inverted equation consistently,

well, the external changes will

follow.

They just have to because it's

an equation. And that internal

shift is the thing to measure

yourself by during the lag

period because it's the only

metric that is actually within

your control and the only one

that really predicts the

outcome.

So instead of actually checking

your bank account every day,

hoping to see a change, which

is really just running the

default equation again, check

your thinking, check your

internal state, your emotional

state.

Check whether you're holding

the new input. Check whether

your baseline has shifted. And

if it has, you're on track

regardless of what the external

evidence says.

So during the lag, you don't

really have external proof yet.

All you have is the internal

shift and your understanding of

the equation.

And that has to be enough for a

while, which is uncomfortable,

but also kind of beautiful. It

means that you're really

building something from the

inside out, which is the only

way anything real can be built

and anything lasting can be

built.

Because like we've been saying

throughout this whole training,

your current reality is just a

printout of a previous internal

state.

So when the internal state

changes, the printout has to

change as well. There's no

version of this where the input

shifts in the output stays the

same forever. The equation has

to balance.

And it will. Your only job is

really to hold the new input

steady until it does. That's it.

So with that said, let's cover

the review. We talked about the

overview, the backwards

equation, seeing the equation,

flipping the variables, holding

the inversion through the lag,

the review and finally your

action items for the day or the

next few days.

First, start running the

equation check today. Pause a

few times throughout your day

and ask yourself, am I reacting

to my reality right now? Or am

I creating it?

And then use that question as

your anchor for building the

awareness that makes the

inversion possible.

Then begin your morning

calibration tomorrow, five

minutes before you touch your

phone, sitting with the

emotional and cognitive

signature of the version of you

who already has what you want,

thinking and feeling into that

state fully and then letting it

set the tone for your entire

day.

Then finally, hold the thoughts

and the feelings right when the

old reality pushes back in a

tool just expected. Use the lag

reframe to put it in context.

Remind yourself that what you're

seeing is just an old print out

job finishing and then just

redirect your attention to your

chosen thinking and internal

state and trust that the new

equation is already processing.
