Breath.The secret ingredient to success is breath. Today we're going to talk about breath and we're also going to talk about how life and business and self are one in the same. See, I made this mistake for. Good 10 years. It's like I'm going to go be a good business guy and then I'm going to go home and I'm going to be a good husband and then I'm going to go be a good dad and then I'm going to go to the gym and I'm going to be a good gym guy.But then you know what? Like, I'm not going to eat that good and I'm not going to be that good of a friend cause it's just not important to me or it's not a priority right now. And I literally spent 20 years of my life justifying things and putting things in containers. I was like. No. Like I'm a good human.I'm doing good. Look like I'm good at work, right? So if I'm good at work, it means I'm a good husband. And if I'm good at work, it means I'm a good dad, right? And I put these compartments around things, right. And I was like, no, no. It just, it means this thing, right? And then I would be like, you know what? I'm going to be lazy at the gym today.I'm going to quit that rep in the workout. Right? Like nobody's going to know I only did eight instead of 10 or nobody's going to know I only ran a mile instead of two. Right. I still did it. I still did it. Right? Yeah.  fast path to failure. There are no compartments, right? That is ego. That is monkey mind.That is chatter that is literally self fulfilling, self sabotage and mediocrity defined in real life. See, see, I operated for a long time thinking that I could only give full time, effort in certain areas of my life and expect fulltime results everywhere. And I had this dissonance, right? I had this cognitive dissonance, like I believed it to be one way, but in actuality it was very, very different.And the only person I was lying to as myself, and as I started exploring this life of like growth and success and, and marriage and consciousness and the things that I spend my time working on now, some very wise mentors and teachers. Emotionally broke my nose about 25 times. I felt like Mike Tyson was punching me in the face with some of their feedback and I'd listen and I'd be like, no, no, I've got it all figured out.They're like, you're in A hole. I'm like, no, I'm not. Look, look, look, look, look. And they're like, no. And they, every time that I always had that question to create the dissonance and cut through the noise, and the truth was, is that I was more addicted. To being right than I was about being a good person. I wanted to say that I could do it all without doing it all.I wanted to say that I was being a good husband without putting in the work. I wanted to say that I was the best in the world without putting in the reps. I wanted to say I was the best business guy without doing the the licks and the practice. Right. I wanted to say I was the super bowl champion, even though I'd never put pads on and been hit.And to gut me. Do a point. It's almost like if you look back at it, that I was able to function like that, right? But at what cost? I had success on paper, quote unquote paper. I was a 22 week New York times bestseller. I had a number one app in the world. I had a business that was getting 5 million people a month to see it.I had a half a million social media fans and I was more depressed. Suicidal, sad, angry, resentful, narcissistic, sociopathic, than any other human on the planet could ever be. Because I was literally a walking in congruency, and the only person I was lying to is myself. And so what I've learned as an entrepreneur, as a business owner, as a, as a human.Is that the path forward is awareness and honesty with self and not from a place of like, I'm a bad person or fault or blame or guilt or shame, but in order for me to move forward, I have to see where I've been and I have to be in love with the fact that it is a part of my process. I have to love my shadows just as much as I love my light.And when I thi
