And I think the reason why peace of mind really becomes a priority later in your life, 30s more so than your 20s or 40s,

Probably by the time I'm 60, my version of peace of mind will be so elite versus what it is now.

But it is because of lived experience.

I don't think I could have this realization in my early 20s because I haven't had that lived experience.

And like I said, it will only get better as I get older.

but it is valuing what is important versus what is a waste of time.

What relationships do I know based on experience is going to waste my time and wear me the fuck down?

What jobs, even though I know maybe there's good points to it or good parts to it, does it ultimately wear me down?

Now, there's a difference between peace of mind and trying to protect your peace of mind

and also allowing yourself to be and exist in high stress environments, but still have that peace of mind.

I don't want you to think, oh, anything that causes me stress, get away from, get away from.

We're not precious.

This isn't about becoming precious.

This is about what is going to wear me down and wear me down emotionally versus what is hard work that I can face, that I can really work through and become better for it.

There are certain things in my life that are high stress, but they're not emotionally draining.

They don't

beat me down into this nub of my former self.

Okay.

That's the difference.

Okay.
