Cory explains that a lot of people find themselves stuck, unable to make the changes they want in their lives, because they mistake the autopilot reactions they've made over their lives for what's possible, not realizing they have a say in the matter.

I talk about this thing called portals in life and these are these moments that I've experienced and I've noticed that have every step of the way where there's been a big advancement for me whether it be personally or professionally or whatever it is it's this weird culmination of things comes together and this opportunity starts to open and arise and you have to be watching for it and it'll seem weird and if you're not watching for it you'll miss it but every time that I've been watching for that and I've noticed it and I've walked through it it has changed kind of my universe as it were not literally but you know well I suppose literally but but symbolically
I actually use Miles Davis the jazz musician as an example for all the portals that he walked through in his life and I share some of mine but really these big changes happen every time and I look at other people and it's the same thing for them and I love how we started this conversation I don't know if we're recording or not but you talked about how much you love kind of zen cohen's and things like that I love those two because what are they they are two often conflicting pieces of information intentionally and it is by putting both of those things in your mind and reconciling them that in the process of reconciling them it makes you think of a third thought and that third thought can only come through the computation of those two conflicting thoughts and that's how wisdom often arises that's why those work that's why I love them
