This is what it is for me... Identity is basically the combination of your beliefs. There are three kinds of beliefs: 1-Knowledge based beliefs (a recognition of a component of reality percieved through one of the 5 senses or your mind [just to summerize it]). EXAMPLE: There's a cellphone in front of me. 2-Judgment based beliefs (these, unlike like the previous ones aren't binary but exist in gradients, also the next kinds of beliefs). EXAMPLE: This cellphone is small. 3-Self-identity beliefs (this is how we relate oursleves any component of reality we percieve). EXAMPLE: I hate this cellphone. The logical chain goes like this: Experiences (tangible or intangible) form beliefs, beliefs form identity, identity informs your paradigm (the lenses through which you percieve reality), your paradigm informs your percieved options, your percieved options inform your decisions and your decisions manifest into the physical realm through your actions (enough actions consolidate behaviour and locks it [not forever] into the unconscious mind so you sucessfully [intentionally or unintentionally] have installed a program on your mind that now you can run on autopilot). Hope that makes sense. Behaviour flows from identity. Delusion backed up just by words it's just delusion but delusion backed up by relentless action... that's called FAITH, brother! Remember: Duty, Honor and Pride!!!

A month or so ago I was at this content creator's house that we are organizing here in Bali most of the weekends and one of the self-improvement coaches from my community, David (he's a beast! sooooo good at guiding meditations!!!), was guiding this water meditation (we were basically on the pool of the villa) and he said something that struck a chord on me: "If you feel like you are in a rush... if you feel like you don't have time... you are living in survival mode. Step out of it. You have ALL the time in the world. Nothing is truly urgent. You are EVERYTHING already." It just woke me up from the dream I was immersing myself lately working so hard on my business and made me realize that everything flows better when I'm actually relaxed because I truly perform like I should and tasks that were "annoying" become fun again... I immerse myself in them without actually losing myself if that makes sense. Where I'm getting here is that every time I feel like I got no time or I'm in a rush... I just stop whatever I'm doing and meditate... magic truly happens because once again I become aware of the present moment... infinite and boundless unfolding in front of me and I realize that actually... there's no rush and whatever I'm doing I don't "have to do it" but I GET TO DO IT, which changes everything! Intentionality and awareness are the master keys to have truly a fulfilling live... Not tomorrow... Not in a couple of months or years... But right now...

A millionaire I met once at a skool IRL event here in Bali told me "The most sucessful people in this world are the ones that have the MOST accurate mental model of reality." That line stuck with me... It was exactly how I was thinking already at the time but I just hadn't seen results yet. Sometimes is not just seeing reality with so much clarity... Is also having the awareness to observe your emotions and thought and detach from them in order to not let them affect your actions and behaviour in a way that will be detrimental to your goal. "Between stimuli and reponse there's a gap... in that gap lies absolute freedom." Impulse control is truly one of the most powerful things we can ever develop for ourselves and meditation is crucial on that.
