Speaker 1: There's a version of you that nobody can mess with.
Speaker 1: A version of you that doesn't flinch when someone comes
Speaker 1: at you sideways. A version of you that doesn't lose
Speaker 1: sleep over what somebody said at the office, what some
Speaker 1: stranger posted online, or what an ex friend whispered behind
Speaker 1: your back. A version of you that moves through the
Speaker 1: world with such quiet confidence that people feel it before
Speaker 1: you even open your mouth. That version of you isn't
Speaker 1: some fantasy. It's not reserved for celebrities, billionaires or people
Speaker 1: who had some perfect upbringing. It's available to you right now.
Speaker 1: But to get there, you've got to be willing to
Speaker 1: unlearn almost everything society taught you about how to respond
Speaker 1: to people, because here's the hard truth, most of what
Speaker 1: you were taught about strength is completely backwards. You were
Speaker 1: taught that strength means speaking up, defending yourself, fighting back,
Speaker 1: proving your point, making sure people know they can't walk
Speaker 1: over you. And because of that, you've spent years, maybe decades,
Speaker 1: wasting your most valuable resources on people and situations that
Speaker 1: were never worth it. Every time you fired back at
Speaker 1: someone who wasn't worth your time, you gave them something
Speaker 1: they didn't deserve, your energy, every time you stayed up
Speaker 1: at night mentally rehearsing arguments, you handed your peace of
Speaker 1: mind over to someone who probably forgot what they said
Speaker 1: to you the very next morning. Every time you bent
Speaker 1: over backwards explaining yourself to people who never planned on
Speaker 1: understanding you anyway, you surrendered a piece of your power
Speaker 1: that ends today. What I'm going to walk you through
Speaker 1: are seven psychological laws, principles that Machiavelli studied, refined, and
Speaker 1: applied over five hundred years ago, and that the most
Speaker 1: strategically powerful minds throughout history have understood ever since. That
Speaker 1: will completely change how you operate, not by turning you
Speaker 1: into a cold, emotionless robot, not by making you distant
Speaker 1: or difficult, but by making you genuinely untouchable, by putting
Speaker 1: you in the driver's seat of every interaction, every relationship,
Speaker 1: and every situation in your life. Let's get in to it.
Speaker 1: Law one. Your attention is the most valuable thing you own.
Speaker 1: Most people think their most valuable asset is their time,
Speaker 1: but time without attention is worthless. You can have all
Speaker 1: the hours in the world, but if your focus is
Speaker 1: scattered across drama distractions, you'll end up broke. In the
Speaker 1: ways that matter most. Here's what nobody ever tells you
Speaker 1: about attention. Wherever it goes, power follows. Think about that
Speaker 1: for a second. Every single moment you give someone your attention,
Speaker 1: your focus, your mental energy, your emotional bandwidth, you are
Speaker 1: making an investment, and like any investment, the only question
Speaker 1: that matters is this. What's the return when you respond
Speaker 1: to someone who disrespected you. What's the return when you
Speaker 1: engage with someone who's been stirring up drama? What's the
Speaker 1: return when you spend three hours of your evening emotionally
Speaker 1: chewing on something some coworker said at lunch. What's the return?
Speaker 1: The answer is nothing less than nothing, actually, because you've
Speaker 1: paid a cost with zero gain. Psychologically powerful people understand
Speaker 1: this at a cellular level. They treat their attention the
Speaker 1: way a serious investor treats capital. They don't throw it
Speaker 1: at every opportunity that comes knocking. They don't spread it
Speaker 1: thin across things that will never produce results. They are
Speaker 1: ruthlessly selective, and because of that selectivity, their attention actually
Speaker 1: means something. When they focus on you, you feel it,
Speaker 1: when they give you their time. It carries weight, and
Speaker 1: that weight that's influence. That's magnetism. Here's the practical shift
Speaker 1: you need to make starting today. Before you give anything,
Speaker 1: your response, your time, your emotional energy, ask one question.
Speaker 1: Does this deserve it? Not? Should I be polite? Not?
Speaker 1: Will they think I'm rude if I don't respond? Just
Speaker 1: does this deserve my attention? If the answer is no,
Speaker 1: you move on. No guilt, no second guessing, no explanation.
Speaker 1: The people who've built real power in their lives aren't
Speaker 1: the ones who responded to everything. They're the ones who
Speaker 1: responded to the right things. They created an invisible filter,
Speaker 1: and only what passed through that filter got access to them.
Speaker 1: You need that filter, build it, honor it, and watch
Speaker 1: how quickly your energy levels, your focus, and your results
Speaker 1: begin to transform law too. Silence is not surrender its domination.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about silence because most people in this culture
Speaker 1: have a deeply distorted relationship with it. We live in
Speaker 1: a world that rewards noise. The loudest voice gets the
Speaker 1: most attention. The person who always has a comeback is
Speaker 1: considered quick witted. The person who never backs down from
Speaker 1: a verbal confrontation is seen as strong. And because of that,
Speaker 1: most people have learned to associate silence with weakness, with
Speaker 1: backing down, with losing. But I need you to flip
Speaker 1: that script, because psychologically, nothing could be further from the truth.
Speaker 1: When someone attacks you and you fire back, what have
Speaker 1: you actually accomplished. You've validated them, You've confirmed that their
Speaker 1: words carried enough weight to pull you into the fight.
Speaker 1: You've entered their arena, played by their rules, and spent
Speaker 1: your energy on their terms. Even if you win the argument,
Speaker 1: you've lost something. You've shown them exactly how to get
Speaker 1: to you. But when someone attacks you and you say nothing,
Speaker 1: everything shifts. Silence in the right moment is the most
Speaker 1: destabilizing response you can give, because the human brain is
Speaker 1: wired to expect reactions. When someone throws a verbal punch
Speaker 1: and hits air, it creates a kind of psychological vertigo.
Speaker 1: They don't know what to do with it. They expected
Speaker 1: resistance and they got nothing, And that nothing starts to
Speaker 1: work on them in ways that words never could. They
Speaker 1: start questioning themselves, did you see what they said? Did
Speaker 1: it even bother you? Do you think so little of
Speaker 1: them that they're not even worth a response? The uncertainty
Speaker 1: eats at them. The not knowing is genuinely torturous. For
Speaker 1: people who were trying to provoke a reaction. Meanwhile, you've
Speaker 1: moved on with your life. This is what real psychological
Speaker 1: strength looks like. Not the loudest come back, not the
Speaker 1: most devastating insult, just the calm, quiet signal that says
Speaker 1: you don't register, you are not a threat worth acknowledging,
Speaker 1: You're not even an inconvenience. Machiavelli saw this play out
Speaker 1: in the courts and councils of Renaissance Italy. The leaders
Speaker 1: who survived the longest weren't the ones who argued the loudest.
Speaker 1: They were the ones who knew when saying nothing was
Speaker 1: the most powerful statement they could make. There's another dimension
Speaker 1: to this. Every word you speak is information. Every time
Speaker 1: you explain yourself, you reveal what you care about. Every
Speaker 1: time you defend yourself, you show people where your soft
Speaker 1: spots are, and any one who wants to manipulate you
Speaker 1: will file that information away and use it against you
Speaker 1: the next chance they get. Silence gives them nothing, no data,
Speaker 1: no emotional tells, no map of your vulnerabilities. You become,
Speaker 1: in a very real sense, unreadable and unreadable people are
Speaker 1: impossible to control. Now this doesn't mean you never speak.
Speaker 1: There are absolutely moments that call for your voice, your passion,
Speaker 1: your presence, but those moments should be chosen, not reactive, strategic,
Speaker 1: not impulsive. When you do speak, it carries weight, precisely
Speaker 1: because you don't speak carelessly. The goal isn't to be
Speaker 1: permanently closed off. The goal is to make sure that
Speaker 1: every time you open your mouth it means something. Choose
Speaker 1: your silence, choose your words, and understand that in many situations,
Speaker 1: the most powerful thing you'll ever say is nothing at all.
Speaker 1: Law three. Scarcity is the engine of value. There's a
Speaker 1: reason the things we want most in life are things
Speaker 1: we can't always have. It's not a coincidence. It's psychology.
Speaker 1: Human beings are hardwired to value what's rare and discount
Speaker 1: what's abundant. It's baked into our biology. Scarcity signals value,
Speaker 1: Abundant signals disposability. Most people apply this principle when they
Speaker 1: think about products, money, or status, but they completely missed
Speaker 1: the fact that it applies to them personally, to their time,
Speaker 1: to their presence, to their availability. Think about someone in
Speaker 1: your life, maybe from a previous relationship, maybe a friendship,
Speaker 1: who was always there, always available, always dropped everything when
Speaker 1: you called always responsive, always accommodating, always present. How did
Speaker 1: you feel about them after a while, if you're being honest,
Speaker 1: probably something between comfort and boredom, maybe even a little suffocated.
Speaker 1: And here's the uncomfortable truth. You probably didn't value their
Speaker 1: presence the way you should have, precisely because it was
Speaker 1: always there. There was no cost to accessing it, and
Speaker 1: we don't value what costs us nothing. Now flip it.
Speaker 1: Think about someone who was selective, who you weren't quite
Speaker 1: sure you'd hear from, whose attention felt like it had
Speaker 1: to be earned, who showed up fully when they showed up,
Speaker 1: but wasn't just perpetually available. How did you feel about
Speaker 1: that person? You thought about them, You wondered what they
Speaker 1: were doing. You valued the moments you did connect because
Speaker 1: those moments felt earned and real. That's not manipulation. That's
Speaker 1: just psychology, and the most strategically aware people in the
Speaker 1: world use it intentionally in their professional lives, their social lives,
Speaker 1: their romantic lives, everywhere. The principle is simple, be present,
Speaker 1: but be selective. Show up fully when you show up,
Speaker 1: but don't be everywhere for everyone at all times. Stop
Speaker 1: being the person who responds to every text in thirty seconds.
Speaker 1: Stop being the one who rearranges their whole schedule every
Speaker 1: time someone needs something. Stop making yourself so constantly available
Speaker 1: that people start to take your presence for granted, because
Speaker 1: they will people always take for granted what feels permanent
Speaker 1: and unlimited. Instead, let your availability reflect your priorities. Be
Speaker 1: fully engay when you're engaged, but pull back when something
Speaker 1: or someone isn't deserving of your full presence. This isn't
Speaker 1: about being flaky or unreliable. It's about being intentional. And
Speaker 1: when people start to feel that intentionality, when they realize
Speaker 1: that your presence is given, not guaranteed, your value in
Speaker 1: their lives goes up. They start working to keep you
Speaker 1: in the picture instead of assuming you'll always be there.
Speaker 1: You don't have to disappear to be valued. You just
Speaker 1: have to make sure that being with you feels like
Speaker 1: something worth showing up for. Law four. The mind bending
Speaker 1: power of the non reaction. Here's something that the most
Speaker 1: strategically minded people figured out a long time ago, and
Speaker 1: it's something that the rest of the world still doesn't
Speaker 1: fully grasp. Your non reaction is more powerful than any
Speaker 1: reaction you could ever have When someone tries to provoke you,
Speaker 1: whether it's a direct insult, a passive aggressive comment, a
Speaker 1: social media jab, a backhanded compliment, they are executing a strategy.
Speaker 1: Whether they know it or not. What they're really doing
Speaker 1: is trying to take the wheel from you. They want
Speaker 1: to steer your emotional state. They want to make you angry, defensive, embarrassed,
Speaker 1: or flustered. And the moment you react the way they intended,
Speaker 1: they've succeeded. You've handed them control. But when you don't react,
Speaker 1: when you look right through them, when you continue your
Speaker 1: day completely undisturbed, when you give them absolutely zero acknowledgment
Speaker 1: that their attempt even landed, something fascinating happens in their mind.
Speaker 1: The human brain is built around feedback loops. We act
Speaker 1: and we expect a result. When someone provokes you and
Speaker 1: you react, the loop closes. They know their action had impact,
Speaker 1: they learn what works, they file it away. But when
Speaker 1: you don't react, the loop stays open. There's no closure.
Speaker 1: Their brain keeps running the same sequence over and over,
Speaker 1: searching for a resolution that never comes. That open loop
Speaker 1: is psychologically consuming. It creates a kind of low grade obsession.
Speaker 1: They replay the moment they wonder why it didn't land.
Speaker 1: They question themselves and all of that mental energy their
Speaker 1: burning is energy their spending on you, while you're spending
Speaker 1: zero mental energy on them. Let that sink in. They're
Speaker 1: fighting a battle that you're not even participating in, and
Speaker 1: they're losing. This is true at every scale. The co
Speaker 1: worker who makes a snide comment and watches you laugh
Speaker 1: and move on. The person online who leaves a nasty
Speaker 1: comment and gets nothing back, not a response, not even alike,
Speaker 1: just silence. The ex who tries to get under your
Speaker 1: skin through mutual friends and finds that their attempts bounce
Speaker 1: right off you. Non reaction isn't passivity. It's a statement.
Speaker 1: It says you have no grip on me. You don't
Speaker 1: affect my emotional state. You are not in my world
Speaker 1: the way you want to be, And that statement hits
Speaker 1: harder than any clap back ever could. Practice this deliberately
Speaker 1: the next time you feel the urge to respond to
Speaker 1: something unworthy, pause, breathe, let the moment pass, and notice
Speaker 1: how it feels to watch someone's attempt to destabilize you
Speaker 1: just float by harmlessly. That feeling. That's power, real quiet
Speaker 1: sustainable power. Law five know who to cut and do
Speaker 1: it cleanly. Not everyone in your life deserves to be there.
Speaker 1: That might sound harsh, but it's one of the most
Speaker 1: compassionate things you can accept, because when you allow the
Speaker 1: wrong people to occupy space in your life, you don't
Speaker 1: just drain your own resources, you also deprive the right
Speaker 1: people of your best self. There are three categories of
Speaker 1: people that you need to examine honestly and cut cleanly
Speaker 1: if necessary. The first category is your adversaries, not people
Speaker 1: who disagree with you. Healthy disagreement is valuable. I mean
Speaker 1: the people who are actively working against you, the ones
Speaker 1: who smile to your face and undermine you behind your back,
Speaker 1: the ones who celebrate your stumbles and minimize your wins,
Speaker 1: the ones who would genuinely prefer to see you fail.
Speaker 1: The temptation when you identify these people is to expose them,
Speaker 1: confront them, or publicly call them out. You want justice,
Speaker 1: you want people to know the truth. But here's the
Speaker 1: strategic reality. Engaging with them gives them a platform. It
Speaker 1: makes them relevant. It pulls you down to a level
Speaker 1: where fighting the battle takes all your energy, leaving nothing
Speaker 1: for actually winning. The move is to erase them, not dramatically,
Speaker 1: not publicly, just quietly and completely. Stop giving them your attention,
Speaker 1: stop referencing them, stop letting their existence shape your decisions,
Speaker 1: and then keep building, keep winning, keep rising, because your
Speaker 1: success is a far more devastating response than anything you
Speaker 1: could say to them directly. The second category is the
Speaker 1: chronic critics. These are people who never create anything, never
Speaker 1: build anything, never put their own work on the line.
Speaker 1: They just sit on the sidelines and tear down everyone
Speaker 1: who does. These people are not your problem. They are
Speaker 1: not your responsibility. You owe them nothing, not a response,
Speaker 1: not a defense, not even a moment of consideration. The
Speaker 1: only thing critics need is an audience. The moment you
Speaker 1: stop providing one, they become irrelevant. And here's the beautiful irony.
Speaker 1: The more you build, the more they'll criticize, and the
Speaker 1: more that criticism will reveal how threatened they are by
Speaker 1: your progress. Your success doesn't argue with criticism. Your success
Speaker 1: makes criticism irrelevant. The third category is the most insidious,
Speaker 1: the energy drains. These are the people who look like friends,
Speaker 1: act like allies, but slowly hollow you out from the inside.
Speaker 1: They always have a crisis. There's always some emergency that
Speaker 1: requires your emotional labor. Every conversation leaves you feeling exhausted,
Speaker 1: and whenever you try to establish a boundary, somehow you
Speaker 1: end up feeling guilty about it. Here's the thing about
Speaker 1: energy drains. They don't improve, the crises, don't end, the
Speaker 1: problems don't get resolved because what they're actually addicted to
Speaker 1: isn't solutions. It's attention, your attention, and you've been providing
Speaker 1: it because you're a good person, because you care, because
Speaker 1: you don't want to abandon someone who's struggling. But pouring
Speaker 1: your energy into a bottomless pit doesn't help them, and
Speaker 1: it absolutely destroys you. Protecting your energy is not selfish,
Speaker 1: it is survival. You cannot show up fully for the
Speaker 1: people who actually deserve you if you've been drained dry
Speaker 1: by the ones who don't cut cleanly, not with cruelty,
Speaker 1: not with a big dramatic announcement, just quietly, consistently, permanently
Speaker 1: redirect your energy toward people who add to your life
Speaker 1: rather than subtract from it. Law six. Build a mind
Speaker 1: that nothing can penetrate. The reason people can get under
Speaker 1: your skin, control your emotions, and pull you off your
Speaker 1: game isn't because they're powerful. It's because you haven't built
Speaker 1: the internal architecture that makes you genuinely untouchable. That architecture
Speaker 1: has a name. It's emotional sovereignty. Emotional sovereignty doesn't mean
Speaker 1: you stop feeling things. It doesn't mean you become cold
Speaker 1: or detached from life. What it means is that you
Speaker 1: are the one who decides what affects you, when and
Speaker 1: how much. External events happen, but they don't automatically run
Speaker 1: your internal world. You are the governor of your own
Speaker 1: emotional state, not the people around you, not the news cycle,
Speaker 1: not your critics, and not your circumstances. Most people are
Speaker 1: the opposite of this. They are what psychologists sometimes call
Speaker 1: emotionally reactive. Someone says something mildly critical and their whole
Speaker 1: mood collapses. Someone ignores them and they spiral into insecurity.
Speaker 1: Someone challenges their decision, and they either explode or shut down.
Speaker 1: Their internal state is almost entirely determined by external inputs,
Speaker 1: which means anyone who knows how to manipulate those inputs
Speaker 1: has full control over them. The first step toward emotional
Speaker 1: sovereignty is radical self awareness. You need to identify your
Speaker 1: specific emotional triggers the precise situations, words, or behaviors that
Speaker 1: reliably knock you off balance. What makes you defensive, what
Speaker 1: makes you need to explain yourself, what makes you angry
Speaker 1: enough to do something you'll regret, What makes you seek
Speaker 1: approval from people who don't deserve to give it. Those
Speaker 1: triggers are the cracks in your armor, and whether people
Speaker 1: are doing it consciously or not, they will find those
Speaker 1: cracks and press on them. The angry person is predictable,
Speaker 1: The insecure person is manipulable. The person who needs to
Speaker 1: be right is controllable. Know your cracks. The second step
Speaker 1: is deliberate desensitization. This means repeatedly exposing yourself mentally, emotionally,
Speaker 1: experientially to the things that use to trigger you until
Speaker 1: they stop triggering you, not by avoiding them, but by
Speaker 1: facing them with increasing calm. Someone questions your competence, and
Speaker 1: instead of firing up, you get curious. Someone tries to
Speaker 1: embarrass you, and instead of shrinking, you stay grounded. Someone
Speaker 1: tries to make you feel small, and instead of absorbing it,
Speaker 1: you just let it slide right off off. This takes time,
Speaker 1: it takes practice, but here's what happens on the other side.
Speaker 1: Of that practice, you become genuinely unmanipulable. People will try
Speaker 1: their old tactics and find they don't work anymore. And
Speaker 1: when someone realizes that their tools are useless on you,
Speaker 1: they either develop respect or they leave you alone. Both
Speaker 1: are excellent outcomes. Emotional sovereignty is the foundation that everything
Speaker 1: else in this conversation is built on. You can learn
Speaker 1: every tactical principle in the world, but if your emotional
Speaker 1: state is still being hijacked by external events, none of
Speaker 1: it will hold. Build the foundation first, build it strong,
Speaker 1: and watch how different the world looks when you're no
Speaker 1: longer a passenger in your own life. Law seven, the
Speaker 1: art of winning without moving. Here's the most sophisticated principle
Speaker 1: of all and in some ways the hardest to internalize
Speaker 1: because it runs completely counter to everything our hustle obsessed
Speaker 1: culture teaches us. Sometimes the most powerful move is no
Speaker 1: move at all. We've been conditioned to believe that power
Speaker 1: is action, that winning means fighting, that if you're not
Speaker 1: constantly producing, performing, defending, and proving, you're falling behind, And
Speaker 1: so we exhaust ourselves. We fight every battle, we respond
Speaker 1: to every provocation, we engage every critic. We treat every
Speaker 1: challenge as an emergency, requiring an immediate response, and all
Speaker 1: of that frantic activity, most of it is wasted energy.
Speaker 1: Most of those battles weren't worth fighting, most of those
Speaker 1: responses weren't necessary, and the cost of all that reactive
Speaker 1: effort is the depletion of the energy you actually need
Speaker 1: for the things that matter. Strategic in action is the
Speaker 1: discipline of recognizing which situations will resolve themselves if you
Speaker 1: simply stay out of the way, and which ones actually
Speaker 1: require your intervention. Machiavelli called this one of the highest
Speaker 1: forms of intelligence in a leader. Knowing when not to
Speaker 1: act and developing that discernment is one of the most
Speaker 1: valuable skills you can build. Let me give you a
Speaker 1: concrete example. Someone is spreading rumors about you. The reactive
Speaker 1: move is to go into damage control. Reach out to
Speaker 1: everyone who might have heard, explain yourself, defend your reputation,
Speaker 1: try to get out ahead of the story. And in
Speaker 1: doing all of that you accomplish several things. You confirm
Speaker 1: that the rumors are getting to you. You spend enormous
Speaker 1: energy on a narrative you don't actually control, and you
Speaker 1: make the situation into a bigger deal than it probably
Speaker 1: needs to be. The strategic move do nothing, keep showing
Speaker 1: up with integrity, keep producing results, keep being exactly who
Speaker 1: you actually are, and trust that in time, what's real
Speaker 1: will speak louder than what's fabricated. The people who know
Speaker 1: you will know, and the people who believe rumors over
Speaker 1: evidence weren't in your corner to begin with. Here's another scenario.
Speaker 1: Someone is clearly trying to compete with you. They're watching
Speaker 1: your moves, mimicking your approach, positioning themselves as your rival.
Speaker 1: The reactive move is to engage the competition, to change
Speaker 1: your strategy, to stay ahead of them, to acknowledge the rivalry,
Speaker 1: to make it a race. The strategic move ignore them completely,
Speaker 1: not with hostility, just with total indifference. Stay focused on
Speaker 1: your own path, your own vision, your own standard of excellence,
Speaker 1: because the moment you start racing someone, you've handed them
Speaker 1: the power to dictate your pace and direction. And if
Speaker 1: you're not racing anyone, there's no race to lose. Strategic
Speaker 1: inaction isn't laziness, it's not avoidance. It's the discipline of
Speaker 1: refusing to burn your resources on battles that don't serve you,
Speaker 1: so that when you do move, you move with everything
Speaker 1: you have towards something that genuinely matters. The people who
Speaker 1: master this principle develop a kind of gravitational pull that's
Speaker 1: difficult to explain but impossible to ignore, because they're not
Speaker 1: burning energy trying to convince you of their value. They're
Speaker 1: just living it. They're not chasing anyone, so people chase them.
Speaker 1: They're not proving anything to anyone, so their presence feels
Speaker 1: genuinely powerful rather than performative. Your peace becomes powerful, Your
Speaker 1: stillness becomes magnetic. Your absence from petty battles becomes a
Speaker 1: signal that you're playing a different game, entirely, one that
Speaker 1: most people haven't even found the entrance to. That's where
Speaker 1: you're headed. Seven laws, all of them interconnected, all of
Speaker 1: them pointing toward the same destination. Guard your attention like
Speaker 1: it's the most precious resource you own, because it is.
Speaker 1: Master silence, not as avoidance, but as a strategic tool
Speaker 1: that speaks louder than words. Make your presence something that
Speaker 1: has to be earned, not something that's just always available
Speaker 1: for the taking. Let your non reactions become your most
Speaker 1: powerful statement. In the moments that try to pull you
Speaker 1: off center. Be ruthless, lovingly, cleanly ruthless about who gets
Speaker 1: space in your life and who doesn't. Build an emotional
Speaker 1: architecture so solid that external chaos can't find a foothold
Speaker 1: inside you, and learn to win not just through action,
Speaker 1: but through the strategic, deliberate choice of inaction. None of
Speaker 1: this happens overnight. Real transformation never does. But you don't
Speaker 1: need overnight. You need consistent, deliberate application, one interaction, one choice,
Speaker 1: one moment at a time. The next time someone tries
Speaker 1: to bait you into reacting, don't. The next time someone
Speaker 1: demands an explanation, you don't owe them. Let the demand
Speaker 1: hang in the air and walk away. The next time
Speaker 1: you feel the pull to prove yourself to someone who
Speaker 1: never believed in you anyway, redirect that energy towards someone
Speaker 1: or something that deserves it. The version of you that's
Speaker 1: genuinely untouchable isn't somewhere out there in the future. It's
Speaker 1: being built right now. In every choice you make about
Speaker 1: where your energy goes and who gets access to you.
Speaker 1: Start protecting it like it matters, because it does. You're
Speaker 1: building something. Don't let people who aren't building anything, talk
Speaker 1: you off your pathw now go be untouchable.
