Fine.

If I feel physical energy coming up in my body and I want to move towards something.

And for some reason, I feel it more in my left arm than anywhere else.

This has always been true.

I'll have a thought and I know.

And that's when I go, oh, my goodness, I'm going to do this thing.

I know I'm going to do it.

And there's no backing out because it has to happen.

That's that's how it feels.

Yes, it makes... The reason I'm sort of with my hand below my lip is because I...

I'm so struck by this because I've had this feeling for a while now that most of the danger in life comes from the need, the feeling that we need to prove something to others or to ourselves.

And yet I know it's healthy to prove things to myself.

You know, I did that.

Like I could do other difficult things, but the origin of all of that work

In my mind, it's only healthy, at least for me, if it's not by virtue of trying to prove something.

It's like there's a difference between a genuine heart's desire, for lack of a better way to put it, and what you're calling a pursuit of trying to win at some game in one's head.

It's like a video game that isn't real.

It felt good to get.

Right.
