How to Use Your Power to Get What You Want

HOW TO HAVE WHAT YOU WANT

• A lot of people want to feel a certain way, they want to wake up and feel focused, have energy, have the motivation, have creativity, have a good memory
• The trance word in the above is “have.” Meaning, you have it or you don’t
• I want you to take the noun that applies to you (focus, creativity, etc.) and turn it into more of a verb. 
• Avoid thinking “I want to have creativity”, and instead try “How can I do creativity?”
• Your self-talk and thoughts are the programs your supercomputer brain will run
• Genius leaves clues, there is always a recipe behind success if you look, always a method behind the magic—methods you can follow yourself
• On your to-do list, add things you want to feel, like: “I will be energetic, I will be creative.”
• This type of statement gives you more agency to influence your life and environment, rather than submissive, passive statements like “I want to have.”
• All learning in life is state-dependent, information combined with emotion becomes long-term memory
• What if you committed to feeling bold, feeling creative and playful? What things can you do to create these states in yourself?
• Your brain and body is the ultimate adaptation machine, always adapting to your environment
