You are just as smart as the richest person in the world

Everybody with some life experience is going to tell you the same thing: at crucial points in life, the only thing that matters is a little belief.

Belief means that you can think about how things will get better. So if you are in a bad spot in life, you need to have belief that you can get to a different spot in life, which feels different. This doesn’t mean that beliefs magically solve your problems. But it’s that little bit of imagination of how you want things to be that is vital.

I have been in a lot of spots in life where I lost my belief and then I calmed and sheltered inwards. The moment you have that little bit of confidence in yourself, even for 1 second, and you try it, is the only thing that matters.

I think that this is the difference between kids who grow up happy and kids who don’t. It’s that little spark that nobody sees, something in them.

You have 86 billion neurons in your brain. So even if you think you are stupid, you still have more neurons in your head than the number of planets and moons in our solar system. If you would count individual neurons, it’s 10x the number of stars in the Milky Way.

So there is no difference between people, except the belief you have in yourself. You have just as much intelligence in you as the richest man on the planet has. Don’t shy away from that. Don’t be scared of your own emotional creativity, original way you look at the world, chaotic way you look at the world, consciousness.
