When an old belief no longer serves you, you have every right to swap it out. - Vishen Lakhiani

Law 3: Practice consciousness engineering. Extraordinary minds understand that their growth depends on two things: their models of reality and their systems for living. They carefully curate the most empowering models and systems and frequently update themselves.

As Rumi once said, “Oh ye who can’t take a good rub. How will you ever become a polished gem?” So, allow yourself to get buffed by the roughness of life, with all the flawed and fallible humans who surround you on the journey. Because then, and only then, can you go out there and shine for all the world to see.

A-Fest was never a goal in itself. Rather, it emerged as an evolution of all the items on my bucket list coalescing, merging, dancing with each other, and pointing me toward the creation of a model of reality that was completely new in the world. And that’s the most important aspect of end goals. They help take you off the beaten path and move you away from the restrictive models of reality, systems of living, and Brules that school and society prod you into following. End goals help you step off the treadmill of the ordinary and get on a trajectory toward the extraordinary.
