that feeling when you catch yourself thinking I can't do
this or it's just not meant to be. Well, guess what.
Those thoughts are Often nothing more than whispers of fear
(00:44):
disguised as facts. And the best part, we have the
power to rewrite those narratives. Think about it like this.
Your mind is like a supercomputer, always processing information and
forming opinions. But just because as your computer spits out

Question everything. Don't just accept negative thoughts as gospel. Ask yourself,
is this really true? What evidence do I have to
