💥 QUOTES 💥
💥 “One of the big pieces that I think is critical... is this relentlessness in raising your standards, because where you are, you should be grateful for the growth that you've experienced in your life.” - Tyler Chesser
💥 “If you want to start living with more imagination and more creativity, you actually want to take a seemingly impossible future and you want to actually pull that to the present. You want the future to determine the present, not the present to determine the future.” - Dr. Ben Hardy
💥 “When you raise the standard to a new level, that's when it actually stops being a goal and it starts being a standard... I actually prefer standards over routines. I prefer setting a new standard and letting that standard dictate who you are and what you do.” - Dr. Ben Hardy
💥 “If you're not practicing or doing a routine towards something specific, you're actually not getting any better. You're doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” - Dr. Ben Hardy
💥 “In order to turn your life, you actually turn your identity, which involves going deep into the 20%, was deep in terms of focus and also deep in terms of recovery and processing and thinking things through. I just went so deep that my vision for my life transformed. My vision for what I could do transformed.” - Dr. Ben Hardy
💥 “If you're not willing to risk what you've got, then you have no chance of truly gaining the freedom. And if you're not willing to continue to transform through that freedom, you're just going to stay where you are, you're just going to be linear.” - Tyler Chesser
💥 “Just get better and better at clarifying what you're looking for and getting the right ‘who’ in place. So, there's no failure. It's just all learning.” - Dr. Ben Hardy
💥 “The true human condition is seeking transformation. So, let's be courageous. Let's continue to ask these type of questions. What do we want instead of what do we need? It opens up so many pathways to possibility.” - Tyler Chesser
💥 “You've got to go deeper in your unique ability to go 10x, you actually have to make it easier, but also it becomes easier and easier because you're letting go of the 80%, which is not only your old habits or your old security, it's your old stories, it's your past, it's your traumas. To go 10x, you’ve got to not only let the future dictate who you are in the present, you've got to continuously transform your past. All of those shackles that are holding you down, which is your 80%.” - Dr. Ben Hardy
