The Pathway To Your Results

The Alter Ego

• Derick Grant • Season 5 • Episode 226

Share episode

We challenge the belief that results shape identity and show why identity must come first. Using archetypes and alter egos, we map a practical path from imagination to action so you can face fear, heal old wounds, and create aligned outcomes.

• creation on the mental plane, not the physical
• be do have as the core operating system
• alter egos as tools to access the divine child
• archetypes from culture, sport and animals
• healing as identity upgrades and new “costumes”
• identity blueprints and short mantras
• exposure practice to rewire fear and build proof
• imagination as evidence and engine of change
• evolving personas across seasons and goals

SPEAKER_02:

Once you see what you actually are, that you're an infinite, limitless being, you'll see that nothing exists outside of you. I'm your host, Derek Grant, and this is the Pathway to Your Results Podcast.

SPEAKER_01:

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Pathway to Results Podcast. It is your boy DG. I am super excited for this episode. This is going to be for all my sisters and brethren out there that are looking to create their life the way that they want, to experience reality that fulfills them, that is aligned. I'm going to give you a hack. I'm going to give you a key. I'm going to tell you something that if you can do this, the game will change for you. We've talked about this before, but I'm really going to like break it down, break it down for you. Remember Bone Thugs and Harmony came with that song Break Break Down? Study Breaking Me Down. Yes, okay, so we're going to break it down for all my Bone Thugs and Harmony fans out there. I used to love Bone Thugs and Harmony. Oh my gosh. Seventh grade when that cassette tape, what was it, uh first of the month came out? Oh my goodness, I love me some bone thugs. But anyway, you see, I get distracted easily. You see that? Anyway, back to the regular schedule program. Now, I often ask myself many days why? What are we here for? What are we doing? And I I think there's a general consensus that consciousness, spirit, whatever you want to refer to it as, it's its main premise is creation. Creation. Okay. And here's what creation is. Creation is asking the question, who can I become? Who can I become? Go ahead and put your seatbelt on real quick. Okay. We've talked about how in order for you to do something, you're gonna have to become a version of you. If I've never done X, Y, and Z, I'm gonna have to become a version of me that I've never been before. Why? Because the version of you is what creates the thing. Please repeat that with me. The version of me is what creates the thing. Stop thinking that the thing is going to create a version of you. This is us hustling backwards. You're playing the game backwards. It's like you playing a game and you putting a shoe on the wrong foot. It ain't gonna work. The thing cannot create the version of you. The version of you is what creates the thing. So understand what the version of you is happening, what's happening with the version of you, it's happening on the mental plane. Three planes of existence you are living on simultaneously: spiritual plane, mental plane, physical plane, spirit, mind, body. Okay? The mental plane is where everything that you create first happens. Everything first starts with a thought. We know that. The building that you're in, the car that you're in, the clothes that you're wearing, it first started with the imagination. So this is why it was super important for us to realize that you had to first be it. I gotta be it. So now here's where the game gets fun. Here's where the game gets fun. When you realize I have to develop this thing that we call the alter ego, the alter ego. Beyonce had Sasha Fierce. Toby had the Black Mamba. Superman had Clark Kent. T'Challa had the Black Panther. Tony Stark had Iron Man. Peter Parker had Spider-Man. Why is it all of these superheroes always had two versions of them? It was their altered ego. You got to realize that Clark Kent wasn't gonna save nobody. Clark Kent couldn't save the world? Superman could though.

SPEAKER_00:

T'Challa wasn't the one who was going to rescue Wakunda.

SPEAKER_01:

It was gonna be the Black Panther. So what am I saying? What is my point? You have to create an alter ego that's going to do the things that the version of you who you are now couldn't do.

SPEAKER_00:

Do you all not realize? There is Derek, and then there is DG. Please do not think that they are the same thing. Derek's scared of his shadow. Derek's so worried about what everybody's gonna think, and what are they gonna do? And what are they?

SPEAKER_01:

But I had to develop DG because DG is the one who can go out there and do it. Do you see? DG is the one who's outgoing. He can go on social media and sit here and talk and do it. Derek wants to sit back on a couch and read a book and not talk to anybody. Do you see how this works? You've been doing this your whole life. But what happens when you consciously do it? Consciously create an altered ego. And here's why we're doing this. Because what ends up happening is we have an ego, and the ego's job is to protect the wounds, right? We talked about the three inner children, right? We have the divine child, the wounded child, the eternal child. We then develop an ego to protect the wounded child. But when you develop an ultra ego, this is what allows you to tap into the divine child. This is what allows you to tap into the best parts of you. So when you start to look at athletes or quote unquote high performers, or let's look, what's his name? Uh David Bowie. David Bowie wasn't his real name, the musician. I forgot what his name was, David Jones or something like that. He created David Bowie so he could become this successful musician. Marshall Mathers. He created Eminem. The best was Dwayne and Rock Johnson, right? Look at wrestling. So when I played for the Globetrotters, my nickname was Dizzy. My nickname was Dizzy. And look, let me tell you something. I'm not gonna be honest, I'm gonna be honest with this. It's just from my perspective. They had us doing some stuff that at the age of 25, 26, 27, this isn't the stuff I don't want to be out there dancing. I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't want to be out there dancing. Derek don't want to be doing that. Derek don't want to have to do this and do that. So I had to have an alter ego that I could tap into. And this is what Dizzy was for. This is why we had a stage name. The issue is that you go to work every day. You come home, you eat dinner, but you never created a stage name. You never created an alter ego, another version of you, so you could do those things that you have never done before. Do you see how this works? So I'm kind of going to break down really how we do this and what you need to do in order to create an alter ego. So I'm in a phase right now of life. I'm looking to, I'm looking to turn up. I'm looking to turn up. And I don't ask myself, what can I do? The first question I ask is, who do I have to become? Who do I have to become? That's the first question. Don't look at what you gotta do. It's be do have. Be do have. First I have to be it, and then I'm gonna do it. And that's how I'll have it. I have to become that version. So meaning, here's what I gotta do. And this is what I love Dr. Carl Jung because he started, he he said, whether it was Greek mythology, whether it was super uh superheroes, they were all just archetypes. That's all they were. They were parts of the collective unconscious. They were parts of us that we unconsciously, unconsciously identified with. Why do you think all superheroes basically tell the story of the uh the hero's journey? Because this is woven into our into our psyche. So I have to create an archetype. Now you can do this with an animal, you can do this with a superhero, you can doesn't matter. Look at Kobe. Kobe created the black mamba. Why? Because the black mamba was so deadly. This was the archetype that he created. So then when he got on the court, because in the time, everybody hated Kobe Bryant. And he needed something to be able to deal with all of this hate, all of this adversity. So he created the black mamba. So now when he stepped into an arena and everybody's booing him, it wasn't Kobe who was taking these boos. It was the black mama, and the black mama didn't care. The black mamba had a whole different energy, a whole different identity. And here's what ends up happening for you. Now in your world now, it's not gonna be you, Michelle. It's not gonna be you, Michael, who's gonna walk away from the business and create its own time freedom and financial freedom. It ain't gonna be you who does it. It's gonna be a version of you who you consciously create. That is who you have to tap into. So I look back in 2024, 2025. It was the Black Panther, that motherfucking Black Panther, boy, I tell you that that was a bad that Black Panther. And that's why I cried so much when I was in one of my ayahuasca ceremonies when I saw him dead. Mother Aya said, please don't think that this alter ego that you created is gonna take you to the next level. You must be out your mind. You have a version of you that got you to hear. Hear me when I say this. Good God almighty, ain't trying to hear nothing. I'm about to get off this thing right now because nobody wants to hear what I'm saying anymore. You have a version of you who was created to get you to this point. Maybe you did it consciously, maybe you did it unconsciously. And now you're in a season and she wonder why things ain't working and things are breaking down, because that version of you who you created to get you to where you at, it ain't gonna work you to get you to where you are, it's not gonna work to get you to where you need to be now. So I gotta be able to create a new version of me. Why is it when we look at all the Batman movies that come out, Batman always had a different uh uh costume? Ain't none of the Batman's the same. None of them. You remember the first Batman with Adam West back in like the 1960s? Man, he looked crazy in that suit. He looked crazy. Batman, if he showed up to save me, I'd be like, get back in your car. I don't need you to save me. I can do this myself with your silly costume you got on. Right? But now look at Batman now. Now look at the vehicle Batman has. Batman pulled up in a matte black Lamborghini Aventador. Oh my gosh, I don't even know who this man is with these horns on his head, but wherever he's going, I'm going with him because he looked like he's about to deuce. Do you see what ends up happening? Even the people at uh DC Comics knew we had to create something different if we're gonna take this to the next level. So for everybody here, if you have ears, please hear me. You're gonna have to develop a new way of thinking. You're gonna have to develop a new way of being. You're gonna have to develop a new relationship to your pain. You're gonna have to develop a new relationship to fear. You're gonna have to develop a new relationship to all these things, a new perspective, a new lens. This is why I'm telling you, every time that you go back and heal, you just create an opportunity to develop a new alter ego. Good God Almighty. I don't think y'all understand what I'm saying right now. Every time that you heal, you go back and get and create a newer alter ego. Remember when Batman when he showed up and he was he was uh the most recent Batman, I don't even know who played it, but when he was down in the cave, in the Bat Cave, he had all of the costumes of all the different Batmans across the uh time that he could go into if he wanted to. Because every time you heal, you get a new costume. Every time you heal, you have the opportunity to develop a new alter ego. So right now in this season, maybe you developed an alter ego and she identifies with the energy or uh the frequency of Wonder Woman. And you used and you tapped into that alter ego to be able to deal with this wounded child inside of you so you could go back and rescue her. But now that you've healed that and you don't need to rescue her no more, now you start to identify more with uh uh uh, I don't know, storm off of X-Men. And now you walk into a building, now you walk into a meeting, you walk into an environment, you ain't here to fit in, you here to stir some shit up. You here to, you here to get these people, they're gonna know that I was there. I got to speak up. I have to speak for myself, and this is the energy that you walk into it with. You tap into this frequency, this archetype of storm. Do you see how this works? So the power in you being able to create consciously a new version of you is how you are going to bring this new reality into you, into 2026 or beyond. So, first you got to develop an archetype. An archaeotype is uh, like I say, it could be a symbol, an animal. Uh I like animals, me personally. I love animals. Right now I'm moving to the archaeotype of the golden jaguar. His energy is a little different than the Black Panther. See, I needed the Black Panther. See, the Black, the Black Panther, aka the Black Jaguar is the one he could see in the dark. I mean, he spent a lot of his work in the shadows. The Golden Jaguar doesn't do that, though. And then all of a sudden, something happened on my Instagram. All of a sudden, now on my feed, I'm seeing all of these things of the Jaguar, all these wildlife pages down in Brazil. Down in Brazil, these panthers are showing up on my feed hunting crocodiles. I said, You mean to tell me? You mean to tell me that this cat, and I thought cats didn't like water, but apparently these cats don't mind it because I'm watching all these videos of this cat jumping out of trees onto crocodiles. You tell me where they do that at. It's jumping on the things that can devour it. And I started to say to myself, wait a minute, this is what you have to do in this next season of your life. You're gonna have to tackle things and go after bigger things that you could probably that you feel like probably will swallow you alive. But the golden jaguars energy, who's you gonna tap into? Do you see how this works? So when you start to develop an archaeotype, now you can start to develop an identity blueprint. The identity blueprint now. Now I want you to tell me, I want you to describe what's this per what's this version of you like? It's calm, grounded, has clarity. Fears nothing. You see, we're starting to we're starting to alchemize, we're starting to create this version of you. Right? And now here's what ends up happening. Once you do that, you're gonna have to develop a mantra. You're gonna have to develop a mantra. Here's what this is. This is gonna this is gonna anchor this to your subconscious. The mantra is gonna be your saying. This is gonna be your anthem. I do nothing for hand cle for hand for approval. I do everything for legacy.

SPEAKER_02:

See, that's something simple.

SPEAKER_01:

I don't need validation. I already validated myself. I don't seek permission from others. I am the permission. You see how this works? And see, now that you've created this version of you, now here's what ends up happening. You start to develop this new persona. You develop a new persona. So people are gonna look at you and say, Why do you you just seem different? Not realizing who they're talking to. They're talking to this new version of you, this superhero. They're talking to the golden jaguar. That's really who they're dealing with right now. So for us to to I I'm I'm giving you the the kind of the framework of like, this is literally what I do in my own life. This is what I do with clients, especially like when I work with athletes. Like, you are terrified of certain things, for sure. I use this for, I won't use a person's real name, but Mike. Mike is scared to shoot three-pointers. You know why Mike's scared to shoot three-pointers? Because he had a coach who told him he wasn't very good at shooting three-pointers. And then Mike shot a shot in front of thousands of fans, and then he airballed it. And all that did was just create a deeper wound of I'm scared to shoot the ball. And his coach said, You can't shoot, don't shoot it. So then he left that school, thinking it would it would help if he went to another school. And they went to another school. And the coach said the same thing. So now here he is, three years later, he's scared to shoot it, scared to shoot a three-pointer. So I told him, I said, here's what we're gonna have to do. You're gonna have to go into the gym by yourself and shoot a thousand three-pointers. A thousand and shoot them from the place that you were scared to shoot at. He was scared to shoot it from the sideline, could shoot it on the baseline, he might hit the side of the backboard. So you're gonna have to shoot a thousand of them. And I hope 500 of them hit the backboard. I hope 500 just clang off the side of the backboard. The thing that you were afraid of, you're gonna have to go and face it. But here's what I'm telling you. You can't go and face it with the version of you of the wound that the wound was created in. Do we see how this works? You can't go and do the thing as the version of you that the wound was created in. How am I gonna do that? This is why you have the superhero. This is why you have the alter ego. That's the one who's going to go and do it. So when you develop this alter ego, you go back and you shoot them threes. And here's the deal: that version of you, the alter ego, he ain't scared of nothing. He don't need anybody's approval. He don't need anybody's coach to validate him. Let him shoot those. And then here's what ends up happening. Your relationship to the situation starts to change. And this is the power of our minds. We can literally create a version of us to tap into it. So if someone asks me the question, they go, Well, how do you like how do I become something then that I don't like? There's no proof. I can't see it in my world. I said, simple. Really quite easy. Here's how you do it you use this thing called the imagination. This is why you were gifted with the imagination. The imagination allows you to think and become something that has never been seen before. Do we see? Think about Wilburn Orville Wright. Oh, good God Almighty. I'm gonna go ahead and just stop. I'm getting off. I'll talk to y'all later. I'll see y'all. Goodbye. Think about what Wilbur and Orville Wright had to do.

SPEAKER_00:

They were bikesmiths. They built bikes.

SPEAKER_01:

They built bikes. They lived in Ohio and they flew a plane in North Carolina. You all got to realize there were not means of transportation like there are today for you to get from Ohio to North Carolina. That's number one. Number two, they were bikesmiths. They did not have uh uh degrees in aeronautical engineering. I'm maybe if I'm making a word up, it ain't the first time. They didn't have it. Okay?

SPEAKER_00:

Number three, they weren't pilots.

SPEAKER_01:

They weren't pilots. Can you all imagine this? Can you imagine creating something and you can't actually operate the thing that you created?

SPEAKER_00:

Can you imagine that? Imagine that. You created a car and you ain't never driven before.

SPEAKER_01:

What you can't even you can't even grasp it. Here's number four, what a lot of people don't realize. Their father. Their father was like, what are you doing? Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this? They didn't know. And here's what ended up happening. They sat and studied. They met with some of the most influential people in what do they call that? Avery? Avery? I forgot what it's called. The study of the study of birds. People who study birds flying. I don't need to sound smart. I just go and say the people who watch birds fly. They sat and met with them. And they wanted to understand how the wings of a bird worked. They wanted to understand how they do this. And then they met with some guy, I forgot who he was. This guy had created a contraption that he would put on his arms so he could fly and glide like a bird, kind of like a paraglider. They met with him, but that didn't go too well. Said, nah, we ain't looking to do that. We don't want to do any flapping. But here's my point. They ended up creating a plane. The first plane. I think it flew for like 12 seconds. But they created a plane. Do you know who they had to become in order to do that? They didn't do that as bikesmiths, y'all. They had to be pilots. They had to be uh uh aviation engineers, they had to become something that this world had never seen before. This was why you were given the imagination. This is why you were blessed with it, because there were no bounds, there were no boundaries, there was nothing saying you could not imagine or think of this. So here's the beauty of it. You can become any version that you need to to tackle today's adversity.

SPEAKER_00:

You can become any version that you need to to create that thing that you have in your heart of hearts been wanting to create.

SPEAKER_01:

There's a version of you that you can become that would create generational wealth for you and your great-great-great-great-great-great-grandkids. Oh, she's inside of you. She's there, but you ain't gonna get to her as you are who you are today. She may be four or five alter egos away, and that's the way I start looking at her. I start looking back on my life. You have been create, you've been doing this. You have been creating alter egos. You all, for all my 80s babies, okay? I'll go ahead and throw 90s in there, okay? Let's just go 80s just to be safe. You all remember uh AOL Instant Messenger? You all remember that? Huh? Remember you had that screen name? Huh? You heard that door open of that secret crush that you had? You got you had her screen name, or you had his screen. I know some of y'all laugh right now because you know exactly what I'm feeling, right? You remember that? What was that screen name? That screen name was an alter ego. You didn't put your real name. Kissy monster XXO. Right? We come up with some corny name, right? Maybe that wasn't it. Some of y'all, y'all laughing, but you you you know what I'm saying. My name was D5R9C11. See, I didn't realize I was already in the numerology back then. D D5 was the fifth letter of the alphabet, which is E, R. Then 9, the ninth letter of the alphabet was I. You see, I was spelling my name D5R9C11. But that was just one of my screen names. That was just one of them. I had many of them. For any of you all that are going to hear this, that listen to my podcast, if you ever had anyone with the screen name Truth Teller, if they ever, if they ever DM uh sent you a message, it was me. I had another one. I was, I was called uh Fabulous Uh. Like Fabulous, remember the rapper? F-A-B-O-L-O-U-S, and I had uh at the end of it. Holla back, youngin', for anybody who knows. I'm telling you, I'm looking, I'm letting y'all in my life right now. Okay. I'm telling you, I did this. I had so many alter egos. I had so, and I had fabulous uh. That was the version me who would go to the parties when I was a freshman. Fabulous uh. Darren wasn't going to no parties, but fabulous would. Fabulous would. Y'all are laughing right now. I know some of us laughing, but you know exactly what I'm talking about. Because right now, I'm talking about instant message. You may have done it on Facebook. You had a couple different burner accounts. Maybe, maybe we still do it on Instagram. Maybe we still do it on uh Twitter, maybe on MySpace. You had one for her, and you had another one for her. Or him or them. But here's my point. You have been doing this. You have been doing this, you've been creating new versions of yourself. I'm telling you, give yourself permission. Give yourself permission to become someone that you have never been and let that be at an altered ego. And then here's the deal: at a moment's notice, you can turn into it. At a moment's notice, you can turn into that version of you when you need. So when times get hard, I'm not Suzy, I turn into Susie Q. When it gets scary, I'm not uh uh uh uh Ty, I'm Tyrone. You see how this works? Do what you need to do to develop this version of you so you can start doing the things that you've been put here to do. I'm just telling you, you ain't gonna do it as the version of you who you are today. That ain't how it's gonna work. And then when you hear what ends up happening, you're gonna start to see that life is constantly, once you develop this alter ego, good God Almighty, life's gonna do all it can to get you to let go of that old version. And then here's what ends up happening: that alter ego becomes your new way of being, it becomes the new you. This is who you are, and you're like, dang, I'm way different. You're gonna have to develop a new one. See, what happened was is you're gonna have to start to develop Clark Kent because Superman will actually become who you are. Y'all ain't trying to hear nothing I'm saying. Go ahead and watch the new Superman. Go ahead and watch it. Go ahead and watch it. Superman developed Clark Kent so he could be accepted by the world. Superman created Clark Kent so he could get away just for a little bit. I don't feel like having to save nobody right now. I just want to sit in a desk, put these glasses on, and I want to go ahead and holler at Lois Lane and see what she's talking about. Couldn't do that as Superman. Superman was his way of being, though. And Clark Kent was the alter ego, so the reason why I'm saying this. All of us got a superhero inside of us. All of us. We all do. I told my son, I said, Look, because my son's super sweet, nice kid. I told him, I said, Look, man, I love that you're a nice kid. But he's playing school ball now with all these kids that he sits in class with. He sits in school with, eats lunch with. So he wants to be liked. He wants to be liked. So in practice, he go in for a layup and go score, but he won't go do it. I said, What you doing? And he he doesn't realize what it is. I said, Look, man, you're gonna have to become somebody you've never been if you're gonna start doing this. You have to become somebody you've never been. You can't be the version of you who sits in class with these people. You're gonna have to become somebody else when you get in between these lines. So I told him, I said, here's a homework assignment. I'm giving to you on Friday. I need it turned in by Sunday. I want you to develop and alter ego. I want you to develop a version of you when you step in between these lines, you turn into him. You are not Hudson James Grant. You turn into someone else. Saturday came around. I still ain't get it. Sunday morning came around. I still ain't get it. He's about to go to bed on Sunday night. I said, So are you gonna do this Simon and are you gonna do it or no? He said, no.

SPEAKER_00:

I said, I said, what?

SPEAKER_01:

He said, yeah, I'm not gonna do it because I don't want you to, uh I don't want you to be corny and call me the name, whatever I come up with. I said, oh my goodness, you over here worried about you over so you over here worried about if I call it. And I started to laugh because I said, you know, you could you you're right, because I will call you it. You you you you your nickname may be uh uh uh Ant Man. I'll be like, come on, Ant Man. I could see you getting embarrassed now, but I told him I said, Look, I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it. So the next morning he had to get up at seven in the morning. We're working out, and it was really hard. I purposely put him in a hard workout. That was what we call a push day. And it was really hard, and he goes, and he, I could see in his face, and I looked at him, I said, Look, man, I try to tell you, you're gonna have to create a version of you who can deal with this type of stuff. Don't think that you can be that sweet little boy and come and deal with this hard stuff. He's not equipped for it. But if you develop a version of you, if you develop that version of you who can deal with adversity, who welcomes it, who grits his teeth, that version of you, now you can deal with it. So I told me as to the end of the week to give me his alter ego. And I promised him that I wouldn't call him that in public. But my point of this is for you all go create this version of you that's gonna do these amazing things. The world doesn't have to know. The world ain't gotta know. It could be your own little secret. We didn't know about Sasha Fierce until Beyonce told the world that she created Sasha Fierce. And she said, I had to create Sasha Fierce because she's doing stuff on stage that Beyoncé would never do on stage. Do you see how this works? So give yourself full permission. It could be a conversation with somebody that you've been putting off. It could be uh the misalignment that you know has been in your life, but you've been scared to say no to it and move out of that misalignment into alignment. Create the version of you that could be able to do that. And here, when you get the hang of it, now you'll start to realize that you can create multiple versions of you throughout a whole year. So you may start off the year as Wonder Woman, but by the time you get to the end of the year, you went through Wonder Woman, you went through uh uh the Green Hornet, you went through uh uh uh Gorilla Joe, whatever names you need to come up with. Because you were constantly evolving. So, what's my point of today? I don't want to be the one who gives you permission, but give yourself permission, please. Give yourself permission to create a superhero character that you become. We went to a Halloween uh party the other day, a couple weeks back for Halloween, and I dressed up as Batman. I want to do Black Panther, but I wait till the last minute because I was like, I'm not gonna do Black Panther unless it really is like the real Black Panther costume. I want it tight, I want it to be like uh bulletproof, I want it to be like the real thing. And I just haven't got my hands on any uranium uh as of yet. So I couldn't, I couldn't do it. So anyway, ordered this old uh raggedy costume off bat off uh Amazon. It was baggyered in the mud. I was out here looking, but people were laughing when they saw my daughter looked at me and she saw, she said I looked goofy. Whatever. You couldn't tell me that I wasn't Batman, no. I was Batman. You better believe I was Batman. So much to the point, we went to this Halloween party. Okay. It was a the Kyle guy who's like my nephew. He was back home, so we had a Halloween party for his wife. So it was a surprise party. Never been to a surprise party, so that was cool in and of itself. So anyway, we went. And I had on this mask. And when everybody says, hey Derek, I would say it's Batman. Please don't refer to me as Derek. I did this all night, y'all. And if you listen to this podcast and you were there, you know I ain't lying. You know I ain't lying. I did this all night. And people were like, they were laughing. They were like, oh, why is he doing he's being so No, no, I really was Batman. And I told Carla, I'm like, so you mean to tell me everybody dressed up? But we wouldn't become the thing that we dressed up as? Why would we not do that? You couldn't tell me that I wasn't Batman. I had some Nike Gore-Tex boots on, but you couldn't tell me that I wasn't Batman. Literally, everything that I said, the way I said it, the way I really felt like Batman. Carly was like, she felt like she had to explain to everybody because everybody would laugh. And she goes, yes, he does this. Whenever he watches movies, too, he becomes the character of whatever he's watched. So if he watches something, a guy has an Australian accent, probably for the next two or three hours, he'll have an Australian accent. Now, I realize why I do this. Because it's nothing more than scrimmaging for me to learn how to, when it's time to create this altered ego for my own life. So I'm not going to really be Bruce Wayne. I'm not going to be Batman. But there's going to be a time when I have to develop a new part of me. And this, my friends, is why I keep telling you. You need to act like it. You need to act like it. Because every time that you acted like it, this was you being the alter ego. The actor acts action. You have to create a version of you that you can become an actress and bring that into life. Do we see how this works? It's literally the same framework as making a movie. So I'm going to leave you with this. Turn your life into the movie. We're all watching it right now. Everybody wants to be on reality TV show and stream. I've been streaming. I've been streaming since December 3rd, 1982. I just ain't got a chat all the time. I didn't always have chat right there. But this life has been a movie from day one. Your life has been a movie from day one. Become the main character. Develop a new, a new a new supporting actress, develop a new version of you so you can start to create the movie that you want. And as always, you know I wish you nothing but the best on the pathway to your results.
