Hey, you know, we're always trying to collaborate with other people and go into business with people and form partnerships. But here's something really smart you should do: form a partnership with your brain. Communicate with it better. You see, the brain does four things. They're very interesting. First of all, it always does what it really thinks you want it to do. Secondly, it tries to move you away from pain and towards pleasure. Thirdly, it only responds to the pictures and words in your head. And fourthly, it really likes to stay in what is familiar. So if you say things like, "I'll give anything not to have to go to that meeting", "I dread going to that party on Sunday", "I wish I hadn't volunteered to speak up at work", or "to deal with that really difficult client", you've told your brain you don't want to do it. And your brain's like, "I'll just give you the flu, then. You don't want to deal with that difficult client? You're dreading that meeting? I'll give you an upset stomach." Because you've told your mind the wrong thing. You're not dialoguing properly. You say that client is difficult, but I'm going to deal with that. I'm going to practice and be great. I want to do this. It's a bit like when you go to the gym and go, "I hate the gym. I hate setups." You're not going to have any success at going to the gym. You have to go, "I love the gym. My body loves it. I want to do this." Your mind's job is to come up with resistance for anything you tell it. Hey, I hate my commute. I hate food shopping. My kids are driving me crazy. I'm going up the wall...
