Think about it. Breathing is so very important. It's so, so very important, it's really the start of it all. Well, it's the start after birth. And birth follows gestation. And gestation follows conception. So, in a greater sense, your journey starts with passion, but today we're talking about breathing. Breathing is so very important.

Ancient philosophy reveals that the mind can only consider thoughts which are the length of one breath. By learning to control your breathing, you can hold and analyze bigger thoughts. Growing your consciousness will expand your mind to unlock your limitless potential, at least as far as the physical limits of Guinness World record 29 minutes and 3 seconds. So, it's not technically limitless, but it's a LOT. You can stuff a whole episode of Friends in there plus 6 or 7 minutes thinking "hold, hold, hold, don't die, hold..." at the end.

Let's practice. Close your eyes and take a deep cleansing inhale. Now relax, clear your mind and think of one of your current goals. Hold up. Open your eyes, read all the instructions so you'll know when to exhale. Then close your eyes when you're ready to start again. Okay, pick a goal to focus on, THEN close your eyes. Focus on the one goal... and these instructions... and the breathing... and keeping your eyes closed... and relaxing. Don't worry about the relaxing. It'll come with practice. Keep it in mind, but just a little. Exhale slowly and deeply. Repeat. Well, repeat from the inhale, not just the exhale.

Repeat this exercise 5 times or for two minutes. You can set an alarm so you don't have to focus on the goal, instructions, breathing, keeping your eyes closed and keeping count while relaxing. Develop this daily practice to visualize your goals and manifest them into your life. Soon, you'll be able to contain a full Youtube short inside a single breath.

The bigger questions will come later, like "how did Youtube's algorithm know I'd enjoy veterinarians trimming animal hooves one day and woodworking another?" I didn't even know that. I like GearheadBryan, but I don't really need to break loose stripped screws every day. If I skip or don't Like them, when will I see those again?

For the moment let's focus on the breathing and visualization. Remember to forget about the keeping count, and the instructions, and how many days your dreams haven't manifested. Trust the algorithm and be at peace knowing GearheadBryan is okay. Well, probably. I don't know GearheadBryan, but I certainly wish him well. Namaste, GearheadBryan.

Feeling closer to your dreams could be just as important as the actual work of making them happen. It may not seem like that when the rent is due, but you can always move and breathe somewhere new. Imagine the possibilities!
