But the reason I want to address this is because I don't think your 30s are old at fucking all.

But I want to address this because eventually, if not in your 30s or 40s, maybe in your 50s or 60s, eventually you are going to start to age, right?

And how are we getting into the correct mindset around really liking ourselves separate to what our physical appearance has to offer?

And I think it always comes down to, this is a topic that I really banged on hard when I first launched the podcast, and I wanna continue driving this point home, but we really have to look at what is it that we have earned, okay?

When you have earned things, you are able to lean on that for your validation.

So, for example, if you are a really good fucking friend and a really good partner or parent or sibling or son or daughter.

You've worked hard to foster these relationships.

You've earned these relationships that no matter what the fuck you look like, those relationships are fucking solid, right?

People want to be around you because you're just a good fucking vibe, but you're a good person.

You're not only there for them in the hard times, but you also celebrate the wins in the good times.

You've earned that, right?

Now let's look at other things you've earned.

I look at education as a huge one.

What can you educate yourself on?

I'm not talking about tertiary education, it can be that.

I'm talking about what can you get good at?

What can you hone in on your craft that you cannot buy, borrow or steal?

right those are the things that the more you whenever you look at how can i improve my life think what's something that i can do that i cannot buy borrow or steal it has to be earned okay this is why working out and physical exercise is so good mentally because aesthetics aside if i was to run a half marathon the only way to get there is through hard work it's through effort consistent effort and showing up again and again and again and again so i've earned it right

There's no other fucking way I can get there.

With physical appearance, I can buy it.
