- But that's amazing.
No, that's something that we don't think about a lot
is like, instead of just looking at the world,
why don't you clean the weapon
that you're looking at the world with?
- You got it, you got it.
'Cause people, think of it this way, Theo.
People don't experience life.
They experience the life they focus on.
- Right.
- So right now, if you're happy,
you are deleting all the things you could be pissed off about
or frustrated or worried about in the world.
If you're unhappy, you're deleting all the things
that are great in your life.
And our brains delete and they distort and they generalize.
So if you don't direct it, you get whatever shows up.
What's wrong is always available.
What's wrong in the world, it's always available.
What's right is also available.
It's just which one you pick.
And it isn't about positive thinking.
'Cause I've never been into positive thinking.
People think that's what I do, it's not.
I believe in intelligence.
And so when you're in a lousy state of mind,
you treat people poorly,
you don't perform at the highest level, you're not happy.
When you're in a great state of mind,
you treat people better, perform at a different place.
And it's one of the reasons the humor is so valuable.
It changes people's state.
And then all of a sudden,
they're in a different place.
They respond in a different place
when they're laughing than when they're pissed off.
- Yeah.
- So why not train yourself to do that?
You've trained yourself to find what's entertaining
or funny in just about anything.
It's what makes you as good as you are in that area.
You have developed patterns of how to do it.
You may not even be conscious of them all.
- And this goes right into something I was thinking about
since it's like the new year, you know,
and happy new year to you.
- Thank you.
- Yeah, because people so often say like New Year's resolution
or they're like, but that's doesn't really,
that's kind of like a one and done.
It feels almost outdated, that idea.
But how do you, I guess, and you just kind of answered,
I guess, like how we change our perspective.
So like, so we change our attitude, you know,
that's really what you need to have a new experience.
- Yeah, there's three decisions you're making
every moment you're alive.
Your audience can test this out.
The first one is what are you gonna focus on?
Now, when I say you make these decisions, Theo,
I don't mean you're making them all consciously, right?
So whatever you focus on, that's what you feel.
If you're supposed to meet your boyfriend, girlfriend,
husband, wife, whoever at seven o'clock,
you get there at seven, they're not there.
Some people are pissed off.
Some people are worried.
It's the same event.
If it's 7:30 and they're not there,
they've not called, they not text.
Now, what are you feeling?
Some people go, I'm really pissed off.
I'm really worried.
- I'm really single.
- Yeah, I'm really single.
It's 8:30, you haven't showed up.
I'm full, I didn't wait for the bastard.
But the point is, whether you're angry
or whether you're worried,
had nothing to do with the event.
It's the habits of your mind.
The person who's worried thinks,
well, maybe they're in a car accident.
The person's pissed off, they did it again.
So the first decision you make
is what are you gonna focus on?
And most people have patterns of focus.
- Yeah, yeah, for sure.
- So there's three I'll give you.
Your audience can test out.
Do you tend to focus more on what you have
or what's missing?
- What's missing?
- Yeah.
Do you tend to focus more on what you can control
or what you can't control?
- Probably what I can control because,
but it's out of desperation
because I feel like I have to control everything.
- Well, that's not a bad thing.
You can't control everything, right?
It's an illusion, but you can influence so much.
You can control everything in you.
- Okay.
- One, do you tend to focus more on the past,
the present, or the future?
- The past.
- Yeah.
So those three patterns, if you do all three of them,
if you constantly look at what's missing,
it's hard to ever stay fulfilled or happy.
- Yeah.
- So you have to always do something
to try to make yourself happy
'cause you're always noticing what's missing.
It's just where your focus goes.
There's always something missing.
There's always something that's not missing.
There's always something beautiful.
If you focus on what you have,
you're gonna be more fulfilled.
Second one, if you focus on what you can control what you do,
it's why you have your own business.
It's why who you are.
A lot of people focus on what they can't control.
It's overwhelming.
They're stressed out.
They think of all those things.
So if you constantly focus on what's missing
you can't control and the past,
which you can't change,
what that makes is either angry or sad
or frustrated or depressed.
- Yeah, instead of just being like,
I wanna have this New Year's resolution,
another rule for myself, I need to change the ruler.
- That's good, you got it, you got it.
- It's like, that's what I need to change.
But a lot of times we don't even see
that we're the ruler.
- Yeah, that's a great, that's a great metaphor.
You know, like if you wanted to go do a,
I don't know if you're into racing at all,
but like a Le Mans, a 24 hour race or a Baja 1000,
you could have an amazing car, a Ferrari, a Mercedes.
It's not gonna last.
You have to re-engineer that car
to be able to take on the desert or drive for 24 hours
or go to the ones that are in the desert there
where they have a pipe so that when you go down,
it's still gonna get the air
to the combustion of the engine.
We have to re-engineer ourselves so the time's red.
That's what we're trying to do.
That's what we're trying to do to do.
That's what we're trying to do.
That's what we're trying to do.
That's what we're trying to do.
That's what we're trying to do.
That's what we're trying to do.
That's what we're trying to do.
That's what we're trying to do.
That's what we're trying to do.
That's what we're trying to do.
That's what we're trying to do.
That's what we're trying to do.
That's what we're trying to do.
That's what we're trying to do.
