And like, I am grateful to that person who did that because that person allowed me to then come take the experiment with you and then build this.

So like, I don't, I think there might be a time and a place in life for all these different stages.

All I know is there is where there is also a self-imposed prison where if you have always lived a certain way and then you assume that you always have to live a certain way.

47 years old and has what I have and gets to make choices for myself that like no one is coming to save me.

I am the only one who knows what I want and need and will make me happy period.

And so I would be living in the same fiction and

Like, just because it was true then doesn't make it true now.

And I think that kind of...

reality checking of like, what outdated rules and beliefs are you living by in this moment that just because they served you then doesn't make them true right now.

I am in a moment where I'm like, I need to have a come to Jesus with myself and be like,

what are the stories you're telling you about your life?

Because they're actually different now.

And what's different now is that you get to choose.

And you know what?

That's even less comfortable for you.

It would be much more comfortable the way I am built to be like, there's a path, there's a role.

What we do is we do the thing now for the payoff later.
