Daily Mindset

Some interesting fun facts to share.

Science has measured humans to have 20,000 genes.

Science has also measured onions… which come in at over 40,000.

The idea of better or worse “gene pools” is a myth. They determine our natural hair and eye color, but we stand by this core belief to our last breath: they do not control our potential.

Another “gene” controls that. It’s called “Epigenetic”. A fancy word that says, we are the ultimate adaptation machine. It’s the quality that human beings can learn and grow faster than the vast majority of species on our planet.

The great thing about Epigenetic is that we’re all born with it.

Forget what you were born with. And focus about what you can become.
