Episode Transcript
[SPEAKER_00]: There is a force inside you capable of producing real results in 2026.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not a momentary emotion, not a burst of energy that burns out fast.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's something deeper, and even when you ignore it or distract yourself, it comes back.
[SPEAKER_00]: It reminds you of what you're capable of, what you could build.
[SPEAKER_00]: and how much you're tolerating living beneath what you know you can sustain.
[SPEAKER_00]: That discomfort isn't anxiety.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's awareness.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's that quiet clarity that lets you see that if you keep living the exact same way, the outcome will be obvious, repetitive, completely predictable.
[SPEAKER_00]: Today this episode gets straight to the point.
[SPEAKER_00]: Seven habits that will make you produce results.
[SPEAKER_00]: And no, this isn't just motivation, pretty phrases or wishes thrown into the air, because willpower alone doesn't maintain real change.
[SPEAKER_00]: If manifesting worked only by wanting something, every January would transform lives, and it doesn't.
[SPEAKER_00]: The universe doesn't do the work that only discipline can execute.
[SPEAKER_00]: Here you're going to learn how to align intention with action, vision with structure, mind with behavior, and the moment you reorganize your mind, your emotions, your environment, and your identity, your results stop being a hope and become a consequence.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's begin.
[SPEAKER_00]: habit one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Finish before you start.
[SPEAKER_00]: Before you think about what you want to build, you first have to decide what you're going to leave behind.
[SPEAKER_00]: Release what's still taking up space inside your mind.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're all fascinated by beginnings.
[SPEAKER_00]: A new year, new goals, new promises, a new car, new clothes.
[SPEAKER_00]: The brain loves that reset feeling, but the truth is simple.
[SPEAKER_00]: Beginnings don't work [SPEAKER_00]: You only move on to the next school year after finishing the previous one.
[SPEAKER_00]: You only open yourself to a new relationship when the last one has ended.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't open a new chapter without closing the old book, without a clear ending any beginning becomes fragile, confusing and unstable.
[SPEAKER_00]: And yet most people step into a new season like someone changing the stage, while still carrying the same script.
[SPEAKER_00]: January arrives full of plans but part of your mind remains trapped in what didn't happen.
[SPEAKER_00]: The goals that didn't work out, the relationship that ended badly, the business that never took off, the version of you that you thought should already exist.
[SPEAKER_00]: The calendar changed, yes, but emotionally you're still living in last year.
[SPEAKER_00]: When you don't close a cycle consciously, that cycle stays open inside you.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like trying to run while looking backward.
[SPEAKER_00]: You move forward, sure.
[SPEAKER_00]: But you lose strength, you lose rhythm, and you end up stopping before you arrive.
[SPEAKER_00]: This shows up in subtle but deep ways.
[SPEAKER_00]: You stop dreaming big because you no longer trust yourself to carry that dream.
[SPEAKER_00]: You avoid risks because the last attempt hurt too much.
[SPEAKER_00]: You even start again, but you do it with the feeling that you're already late.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's having the past alive inside your mind.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not as a memory, but as a command.
[SPEAKER_00]: It keeps whispering old stories on a stage that already changed.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why, before you decide what you want to build this year, answer me with complete honesty.
[SPEAKER_00]: What am I still carrying that should have already ended?
[SPEAKER_00]: Every new goal crashes into resistance when you don't release what was draining your energy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Resentment, guilt, habits repeated on loop, promises you made to yourself and broken silence.
[SPEAKER_00]: Promises that we can your confidence from the inside, [SPEAKER_00]: In psychology, this is called cognitive closure.
[SPEAKER_00]: The act of closing an emotional story so the brain can finally focus on what's new.
[SPEAKER_00]: Without that closure, the mind returns to the past again and again and repeats the same pattern, even when your body is trying to move forward.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do something simple and real.
[SPEAKER_00]: Set aside one minute tonight and complete the sentence on paper.
[SPEAKER_00]: In 2025, I finally stopped carrying it can be a habit, it can be guilt, it can be an expectation that wasn't met, it can be someone, it can be yourself, it's incredible how much relief this brings if you want.
[SPEAKER_00]: create a small symbolic ritual, write what you're ready to release, tear it up, burn it, throw it away, bury it, and say out loud, even if it's only for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for what you taught me, I don't need to carry you anymore.
[SPEAKER_00]: That simple gesture sends a clear signal to your nervous system, closed.
[SPEAKER_00]: It ends here.
[SPEAKER_00]: And when something truly ends, energy returns, the mind clears the body response.
[SPEAKER_00]: You stop fighting with the past and start walking toward the future.
[SPEAKER_00]: Getting over the past doesn't mean erasing it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It means stopping your obedience to it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't fully step into what's next if you're still holding hands with what already ended.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can watch every motivational video, write goals, repeat affirmations, but if you keep carrying disappointments, fears, rejection, and unresolved stories, you're not starting from zero.
[SPEAKER_00]: You're starting tired, you're starting without faith, you're starting without confidence in yourself.
[SPEAKER_00]: The truth is this.
[SPEAKER_00]: New beginnings don't start on January 1st.
[SPEAKER_00]: They begin in the exact moment you decide to stop dragging old energy into new opportunities.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's an ancient image, simple and precise that explains it better than any speech.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Bible says no one puts new wine into old wine skins, because the wine is lost and the wine skin breaks.
[SPEAKER_00]: The logic is clear, what's new demands a new space.
[SPEAKER_00]: When you try to put a new season inside an old structure, everything cracks, finished release to touch, what you lived served the purpose it needed to serve.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now the purpose is different, and if you want to produce results in 2026, the first habit is this, close what already ended so you can finally start, for real.
[SPEAKER_00]: Habit 2.
[SPEAKER_00]: Build a system, not a wish list.
[SPEAKER_00]: If there's one mistake that blocks results it's this, confusing willpower with structure.
[SPEAKER_00]: a system is what holds what you long for when the emotion fades.
[SPEAKER_00]: Structure is the real secret behind any success that lasts over time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Every goal has two pieces that can't be separated, intention and infrastructure.
[SPEAKER_00]: Without infrastructure, intention stays a pretty idea and inspiring thought.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it doesn't materialize.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't get your financial life in order by simply wishing for stability.
[SPEAKER_00]: You organize your finances with tracking, with a fixed schedule to review expenses, and with repeated decisions made consistently.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't build a business by dreaming about profits.
[SPEAKER_00]: You build a business by testing the product failing fast and adjusting.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't get in shape only by imagining the ideal body.
[SPEAKER_00]: You get in shape by sleeping better, eating well, and moving even when you don't feel like it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Results aren't born from inspiration.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're born from a system.
[SPEAKER_00]: James Clear explains it directly.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't rise to the level of your goals.
[SPEAKER_00]: You fall to the level of your systems.
[SPEAKER_00]: In other words, when pressure increases, you don't act how you want to.
[SPEAKER_00]: You act according to how you're structured.
[SPEAKER_00]: And here's the problem for most people.
[SPEAKER_00]: They make wish lists, but they don't build systems.
[SPEAKER_00]: They write goals, but they don't design their day.
[SPEAKER_00]: They ask for transformation, but they live exactly the same.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to start a business, create a daily idea lab, 30 minutes a day, at a fixed time with no distractions, where you think, test, fail, and learn something new about your industry.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a system.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to lose weight, stop chasing perfection and start chasing consistency.
[SPEAKER_00]: Three workouts per week, always the same days, at the same time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Track your progress.
[SPEAKER_00]: A system isn't a motion.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's organized repetition.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to organize your financial life, don't fantasize about getting rich overnight.
[SPEAKER_00]: Start with a simple ritual, a weekly financial review, short and objective.
[SPEAKER_00]: Write down what came in, what went out, and won adjustment decision.
[SPEAKER_00]: The ritual creates identity.
[SPEAKER_00]: Manifestation isn't a wish thrown into the air.
[SPEAKER_00]: manifestation only works when your routine is aligned with your intention.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't work when you ask for something but your habits contradict the request.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't work when you visualize the result but run from the process.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't work when you wait for signs but avoid discipline.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't work when you repeat affirmations but live the opposite of what you affirm.
[SPEAKER_00]: The universe doesn't execute what only discipline can do.
[SPEAKER_00]: you attract what you're in tune with, not what you only desire.
[SPEAKER_00]: The universe responds to your daily behavioral pattern, not your intentions.
[SPEAKER_00]: Alan Watts said, you are what you do, not what you say you'll do.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's exactly what life responds to.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why manifestation fails when it's born from fear and not faith.
[SPEAKER_00]: When you try to control the outcome instead of building the path, when you want change [SPEAKER_00]: manifestation works when intention finds infrastructure, when desire finds a system, when what you want is reflected in what you do every day, even when no one is watching.
[SPEAKER_00]: So do this now.
[SPEAKER_00]: Take one goal you say you want in 2026 and ask yourself honestly, what is the daily system that supports this?
[SPEAKER_00]: If you can't answer, you don't have a plan, you only have a wish, and results aren't [SPEAKER_00]: habit 3.
[SPEAKER_00]: Improve your environment.
[SPEAKER_00]: Discipline becomes much easier when you stop fighting what surrounds you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Most people don't fail because they lack willpower.
[SPEAKER_00]: They fail because they're testing themselves all the time.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to stop eating sugar, but your house is full of sweets, you're testing yourself.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to quit soda, but your fridge is still packed with it, you're testing yourself.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to work out, but you choose a gym that's far away or a type of exercise you hate, you're testing yourself, and then you wonder why you can't stay consistent.
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't fail because we don't care.
[SPEAKER_00]: We fail because we make everything too hard.
[SPEAKER_00]: We create environments that demand effort over and over again when the brain works the exact opposite way.
[SPEAKER_00]: Behavioral science shows that a large part of what we do each day is automatic.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's triggered by the environment, not by conscious motivation and this changes everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: If your goal is to eat better, start with your kitchen.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want more focus, start by moving your phone away.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to organize your money, start by eliminating spending triggers.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want more confidence, start by adjusting your internal dialogue.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to grow professionally, start by organizing your calendar.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to heal, start by modifying habits.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to be happier, start by protecting your attention.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because change doesn't start with the goal, it starts with the environment.
[SPEAKER_00]: The stoics understood this.
[SPEAKER_00]: The person who simplifies the environment strengthens the mind.
[SPEAKER_00]: Marcus Aurelius wrote that life becomes simpler when you remove what's unnecessary.
[SPEAKER_00]: not when you try to endure everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't need more willpower, you need less friction.
[SPEAKER_00]: Success isn't about pushing harder, it's about designing your life more intelligently.
[SPEAKER_00]: When the environment is noisy, you lose your own voice.
[SPEAKER_00]: When it's confusing, the mind reflects that disorder.
[SPEAKER_00]: When it's chaotic, peace becomes a luxury.
[SPEAKER_00]: When it's full of doubt, confidence can't hold.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a reason the phrase you are a product of your environment is so real.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're surrounded by books, you read.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're surrounded by screens, you get distracted.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not a lack of character, it's how the brain works.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you enter an exhausting cycle.
[SPEAKER_00]: You force yourself, pressure yourself, demand more from yourself, hold on for a few days, maybe a few weeks.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you fall again, because you're always fighting against yourself.
[SPEAKER_00]: Change arrives when you understand this.
[SPEAKER_00]: Discipline isn't resisting all the time.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's making the right choice easier.
[SPEAKER_00]: Improve your environment and you won't have to crawl.
[SPEAKER_00]: You'll simply keep moving.
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you want to produce results in 2026, start here, organize the spaces where you live, where you work, and where you make decisions, because when the environment changes, your behavior follows.
[SPEAKER_00]: habit for, use emotional visualization, see it, feel it, embody it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, most people visualize success like it's a pretty movie.
[SPEAKER_00]: Money, applause, followers, recognition.
[SPEAKER_00]: The problem is that the brain doesn't respond to empty images.
[SPEAKER_00]: It responds to the emotion attached to the experience.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not the scene that prepares you, it's the feeling.
[SPEAKER_00]: Studies from the University of Chicago show that visualizing the process and not only the final outcome, significantly increases your chances of achieving it because the brain learns through emotional simulation, not through fantasies.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want more self-confidence, don't just imagine a version of you that's confident and perfect.
[SPEAKER_00]: Visualize the situations that hold you back today, the silence before you speak, other people's eyes on you, that difficult decision, the discomfort of starting, feel the nervousness, and still see yourself staying steady.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's where confidence begins to train, and if you want to be a calmer person, don't imagine a world with no problems.
[SPEAKER_00]: Imagine pressure arriving, the unexpected happening, demands showing up, and you taking a deep breath, organizing your thoughts and responding without losing control.
[SPEAKER_00]: Calm is born when your body learns it doesn't need to panic in order to act.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to start a business, don't visualize only the outcome.
[SPEAKER_00]: Visualize the early morning hours, the uncertainty, the discomfort, the hard decisions, the fear mixed with excitement, feel that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Emotional visualization isn't escaping difficulty.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's training your nervous system not to go into shock when difficulty shows up.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why the stoics placed so much importance on inner preparation.
[SPEAKER_00]: Marcus Aurelius wrote, [SPEAKER_00]: close your eyes for a few seconds.
[SPEAKER_00]: See the version of you who already lives what you keep postponing today.
[SPEAKER_00]: See them waking up calmly, making decisions without dragging themselves, walking into spaces that used to intimidate them, speaking with clarity, acting with firmness.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now feel it, the steadier breathing, the more grounded posture, the lightness in decision [SPEAKER_00]: you're not inventing someone new, you're remembering who you can be.
[SPEAKER_00]: As the book of Proverbs says, as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.
[SPEAKER_00]: What you practice internally, little by little, becomes the way you live externally.
[SPEAKER_00]: The mind doesn't understand the future.
[SPEAKER_00]: It understands emotional repetition.
[SPEAKER_00]: Every time you visualize with feeling, the brain creates familiarity, and what becomes familiar stops feeling scary.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how confidence is born, not out of nowhere, but out of inner rehearsal.
[SPEAKER_00]: Look until it feels normal, feel until it feels safe, repeat until it feels inevitable, and then go out there and do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because emotional visualization doesn't replace action, it prepares you to act without [SPEAKER_00]: One choice at a time, one breath at a time, one conscious step at a time.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how the mind gets reprogrammed, first on the inside, and then in the real world.
[SPEAKER_00]: Habit five, choose a word, not a goal.
[SPEAKER_00]: Goals sound powerful, but they rarely sustain real change.
[SPEAKER_00]: They light you up at the beginning and burn out at the first sign of friction.
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's a reason for that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Goals are rigid.
[SPEAKER_00]: You either achieve them or you fail.
[SPEAKER_00]: And when you fail, motivation collapses, and so does your confidence.
[SPEAKER_00]: A single word works differently.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't squeeze you, it orients you.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't push you into a corner.
[SPEAKER_00]: It gives you direction.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Stoics practiced this constantly.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't live reacting to external goals.
[SPEAKER_00]: They lived guided by internal principles.
[SPEAKER_00]: because when you don't have a defined inner axis, any stimulus pulls you, any emotion derails you, and any difficulty becomes an excuse.
[SPEAKER_00]: Santa Cacetic clearly, for someone who doesn't know which port they're heading toward, no wind is favorable, without an internal direction you move, yes, but you don't advance.
[SPEAKER_00]: You spend energy, but you don't open a path.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why choosing a word changes everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: that word becomes your port, it organizes your decisions even before you consciously think about them.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to start a business, your word might be construction.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to lose weight, it might be discipline.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want more genuine relationships, it might be connection.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're seeking more calm, it might be presence.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want more confidence, it might be steadiness.
[SPEAKER_00]: That single word becomes a psychological anchor.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't [SPEAKER_00]: A study from Stanford University showed that people who frame their goals around identity, I'm becoming a more disciplined person, maintain consistency far longer, because identity sustains behavior when enthusiasm fades.
[SPEAKER_00]: Before designing a plan, define your energy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Your word becomes your daily compass.
[SPEAKER_00]: faced with any small decision you ask yourself, is this aligned with who I'm becoming, or with who I've already decided to stop being?
[SPEAKER_00]: Over time that question changes you from the inside, you wake up with more clarity, you decide with less doubt, you say no with less guilt, you act with more firmness, the day stops being improvisation, the mind stabilizes, and you begin to trust yourself more.
[SPEAKER_00]: When you chase goals, you measure distance and distance is exhausting.
[SPEAKER_00]: When you pursue growth, you generate momentum and momentum sustains you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Goals are external.
[SPEAKER_00]: They live on calendars to do lists and vision boards.
[SPEAKER_00]: Growth is internal, it lives in your mindset, your habits, your character.
[SPEAKER_00]: Most people only want to cross the finish line, they want the body, the promotion, the launch, the result, but they skip the training that builds all of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: A word keeps you inside the process even when the result hasn't shown up yet.
[SPEAKER_00]: It reminds you every day how to act, even without guarantees.
[SPEAKER_00]: So do this now.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't choose a goal for 2026.
[SPEAKER_00]: Choose a word.
[SPEAKER_00]: One word that guides your decisions, filters your habits, and defines your posture, because when you change who you're becoming, results stop being chased, and start becoming a consequence.
[SPEAKER_00]: Habit 6.
[SPEAKER_00]: Work with resistance, not against it.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a quiet mistake that causes many people to quit before they even begin, believing fear is a sign that something is wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: Every real change activates resistance.
[SPEAKER_00]: Every big goal awakens discomfort.
[SPEAKER_00]: This isn't the universe blocking your path.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's your nervous system trying to protect you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Neuroscience calls this a prediction error.
[SPEAKER_00]: The brain resists anything new, even when it's good for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because the unfamiliar always feels like a threat.
[SPEAKER_00]: So when you feel fear, anxiety, tightness in your chest, [SPEAKER_00]: that doesn't mean failure.
[SPEAKER_00]: It means one thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: You stepped out of autopilot.
[SPEAKER_00]: The problem is that most people misinterpret it.
[SPEAKER_00]: They feel resistance and conclude, this isn't for me.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not ready.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's not the right time.
[SPEAKER_00]: and they return to what's familiar, comfortable, known, stagnant, but those who learn to produce results understand something different.
[SPEAKER_00]: Resistance isn't a wall.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a signal of growth.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like stepping into cold water.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you fight the sensation, you suffer more.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you enter gradually breathing through it, the body adapts.
[SPEAKER_00]: Resistance works the same way.
[SPEAKER_00]: It weakens when you stop fighting [SPEAKER_00]: That's why courage has never been the absence of fear.
[SPEAKER_00]: Courage is moving forward with fear.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's taking the step while your body is still trembling.
[SPEAKER_00]: The stoics felt resistance, too.
[SPEAKER_00]: They weren't immune to fear, insecurity, or doubt.
[SPEAKER_00]: Seneca felt it when he was exiled and lost status, influence, and everything he had built.
[SPEAKER_00]: Epictetus felt it as a slave, living without any external control over his own life.
[SPEAKER_00]: Marcus Aurelius felt it ruling an empire amid wars, epidemics, and constant pressure.
[SPEAKER_00]: They felt exactly what you feel when you have to move forward without guarantees.
[SPEAKER_00]: Fear, uncertainty, that sense of not being ready.
[SPEAKER_00]: The difference is, they didn't stop.
[SPEAKER_00]: do you think successful people don't feel this?
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course they do.
[SPEAKER_00]: The difference is that they act anyway.
[SPEAKER_00]: They show up nervous, make decisions with doubts, and begin without complete certainty.
[SPEAKER_00]: They do the work while feeling the same things you feel right now, anxiety and security fear of getting it wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why Marcus Aurelius wrote as a reminder to himself.
[SPEAKER_00]: The impediment to action advances action, what stands in the way becomes the way.
[SPEAKER_00]: In other words, the obstacle isn't something you need to eliminate.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's something you need to use.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Bible expresses the same idea differently.
[SPEAKER_00]: In Proverbs it says, The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.
[SPEAKER_00]: Fear paralyzes you when you try to avoid it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It loses power when you move forward despite it.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you try to erase resistance before acting, it only grows.
[SPEAKER_00]: It becomes bigger, louder, more dominant.
[SPEAKER_00]: But when you act anyway, something shifts.
[SPEAKER_00]: The brain learns that you survived.
[SPEAKER_00]: The body relaxes.
[SPEAKER_00]: Next time it hurts less.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how confidence is built, not by waiting to feel safe, but by creating evidence.
[SPEAKER_00]: So stop asking, why do I feel afraid?
[SPEAKER_00]: And start saying, of course I feel afraid.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is new, and I'm going to do it anyway.
[SPEAKER_00]: Look at the last year of your life.
[SPEAKER_00]: How many times did you feel that not in your stomach before starting something new?
[SPEAKER_00]: Before taking a stand, before risking a different step?
[SPEAKER_00]: And how many times did you interpret that signal as a warning to stop when it was really just your body reacting to the unknown?
[SPEAKER_00]: Now be honest with yourself, how many opportunities were left behind not because you weren't capable, but because you confused fear within capacity.
[SPEAKER_00]: You didn't pull back because it was wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: You pulled back because it was new.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is where everything changes work with resistance.
[SPEAKER_00]: Use it as a thermometer not a break.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're uncomfortable, you're in the right place.
[SPEAKER_00]: If it's difficult, you're expanding.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you feel the urge to run, you're facing something important.
[SPEAKER_00]: Results aren't born from comfort.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're born from the ability to move forward even when the body begs you to retreat.
[SPEAKER_00]: And when you understand this, you stop fighting yourself and finally start moving.
[SPEAKER_00]: Habit 7 Become the kind of person your dream requires.
[SPEAKER_00]: There comes a point where adjusting habits, environment, or systems is no longer enough if you don't change the person behind the decisions.
[SPEAKER_00]: because the true limit of your life has never been what you want.
[SPEAKER_00]: It has always been who you're willing to become.
[SPEAKER_00]: Identity is the most powerful tool for transformation.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't create a new life with an old identity.
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't build 2,026 with the beliefs of 2,024.
[SPEAKER_00]: A caterpillar doesn't become a butterfly by improving little by little.
[SPEAKER_00]: It transforms because it stops being what it was.
[SPEAKER_00]: As long as it tries to remain a caterpillar, [SPEAKER_00]: It never flies, and that's exactly what happens to you.
[SPEAKER_00]: While you try to conquer a new life while keeping the same mental patterns the same beliefs in the same posture, nothing holds.
[SPEAKER_00]: The dream demands a different identity than the one that brought you here.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why instead of asking what do I want, ask the right question.
[SPEAKER_00]: Who do I need to become to sustain this?
[SPEAKER_00]: Every real change begins there.
[SPEAKER_00]: The person who builds a business acts like a responsible person even before the business exists.
[SPEAKER_00]: They organize their day, manage money carefully, keep learning, and make hard decisions without a pause.
[SPEAKER_00]: The person who changes their life acts like someone responsible for their story before results arrive.
[SPEAKER_00]: They organize their days, make difficult choices, do what needs to be done even without validation, and keep walking while the world still hasn't noticed.
[SPEAKER_00]: A confident person doesn't wait to feel ready to take a stand.
[SPEAKER_00]: They take a stand even with fear and build confidence through the process.
[SPEAKER_00]: Identity comes before the result.
[SPEAKER_00]: The stoics were clear about this, Marcus Aurelius wrote to himself, wake up and remember that you were made to act as irrational and worthy being.
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't say, someday I will be.
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, act as the person you know you must be.
[SPEAKER_00]: When you start acting like the person who already lives the life you want, something shifts inside, the brain adjusts, decisions become more coherent, and effort decreases because now you're being, not just trying.
[SPEAKER_00]: 2026 isn't going to change your life by magic.
[SPEAKER_00]: The calendar doesn't transform anyone, but you can step into this year with a different identity.
[SPEAKER_00]: It responds to internal clarity and consistent action.
[SPEAKER_00]: So don't limit your plan to goals.
[SPEAKER_00]: You've done that before, and you know how it ends.
[SPEAKER_00]: Plan your systems, choose your word, adjust your environment, train your mind, move through resistance, and above all, act as the person you've decided to become.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because when identity and action align, the result stops being a distant objective [SPEAKER_00]: Before closing this episode, here's one final question.
[SPEAKER_00]: The most important of all.
[SPEAKER_00]: If someone observed your decisions, your routine, and your posture over the next 30 days, would they say you're becoming the person your dream requires?
[SPEAKER_00]: If the answer is no, perfect.
