over. Whenever we step on the same rake, we promise

ourselves that this the last time and we will never do it again. The next morning you wake

up as if nothing wrong has happened and in a few days, weeks if not hours you find yourself

going down that road again. That doesn't happen by chance. There is

a reasonable explanation behind it since it happens to every other person.

In fact, we are making the same mistakes that we have made for thousands of years and for

some weird reason we never learn. So in this video, we are going to do something revolutionary

and try to understand that mysterious reason (hopefully).

The problem is that we like to think of ourselves as intelligent, logical creatures, but unfortunately,

we aren't, because our emotions are dominant when it comes to making decisions.

When you are resentful towards your spouse, for example, you remember everything she did

to offend you or disappoint you since the day you know each other. On the opposite side,

you will only recall nice things about her when you feel loved. Remember the times when

you were depressed; you tend to think of just sad things. When you are excited and happy,

you think entirely of the good moments, because our emotions are much more powerful than we

think. So if you have promised yourself not to use

that credit card again, you might very much do it again to indulge yourself if you are

feeling sad or depressed. On the other hand, you might overeat candies if you are under

stress. Rationally, you shouldn't have ate that

since you are overweighted. However, your emotions lead you to take an entirely different

action. They key here is obvious, you should never

let your emotions get in the way of your logic. It's, by all means, isn't easy especially

when you are angry and frustrated. But believe it or not, with some practice it's entirely

possible to keep your feelings under control.

However, we also repeat the same mistakes because we have done them so many times so

that they have become part of our identity and getting rid of them isn't easy.

Don't be surprised when you promise yourself not to smoke again but then you end up having

that cigar. By our nature we love routines. Because thinking requires much energy, so

your brain automates a lot of your daily activities such as every time you wake up, you directly

go and brush your teeth. So you grab that cigarette not only because

your emotions are pushing you but also because your brain sends a trigger to smoke every

time you get out of the house. And getting rid of bad habits or transforming

them into good habits is something we have discussed in previews videos which links I

will leave in the description.

Of course, you should n't focus too much on your past mistakes, because whatever happened

has already happened and there is no way you can change that. However, as a wise man once

said, don't fall into the same trap twice. So it's important to look back and learn from

your mistakes but never get obsessed about them.

But instead, do yourself a favor and learn something new that will outshine your mistakes

such as this course that will teach you to turn your passion into a sustainable business.

I have partnered with Skillshare and created this course for you and guess what, not only

that this course is practical and helpful, but rather it's also complete animated like

this video. I don't want you to spend your entire life doing one thing and then figuring

out that you could have been much more successful if you had followed your passion back then

when you were younger. The first 200 people who will use the link

in the description will get the course for free!

So follow your passion, keep making money and never repeat the same mistakes over and

over!

Thanks for watching and I will catch you in the next one.
