How to Escape the Prison of Your Mind

Your mind is a room and your thoughts are a window.
When you think it is as you look into your room of thoughts.
Pay attention to what goes on, learn your mental triggers. Pay attention to how you respond to situations
Your thoughts are not always to be believed.
You thoughts come and go like a car going through a car wash.
One in, one out. Depending on how long you want to wash the car depends on how long the thought stays.
Observe your thoughts with no judgement
Understand where you are in your reality at all times
Think about the description of thing to the left of you:
-What color is it?
-What shape is it?
-How big is it?
-What is its function?
-Why is it built that way?
Why is this healthy? Because it releases your thoughts into your present objective reality.
Knowing that you are there is a good way to stop thoughts because then you start to live. 👽
It may sound dumb but, when someone tell you not to do something the initial reaction is to do that something.
Imagine your favorite water bottle brand
If we take all 8 billion people and ask what is their favorite water is
There will probably be a majority bottle.
That still doesn't make it your favorite.
If their water bottle choice doesn't matter why should any of their opinions matter?
When you realize that you don't need external validation you stop think and acting for it. 🌊

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”
Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?
A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:
2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to
- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal
3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:
Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.
Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.
4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?
To get clarity.
You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.
It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”
Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.

Ask: \u201cWhat needs to be true for you to be all in?\u201d
You'll usually get an explicit answer that you might not get otherwise. It also holds them accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
