Again, it's like...

there's no Instagram account of like all the sacrifices in somebody's life.

Like nobody wants to share that with anybody.

Nobody wants to see it, but it's, it is, it's inherent.

And, and like anything that's good, it's whether it's, you know, developing a skill or being respected or being loved.

Like it's, it's, I don't want to say you have to earn it.

Cause I think that's like a bad model.

Like you, it's not, you're not earning things, but it is, it's just that like the, the, the sacrifices, like,

component of it.

It's like the part of the iceberg that's underwater.

That's a continual process, right?

And living in one of the most individualistic times and cultures where people are often celebrated and rewarded for kind of being the person who did it all on themselves.

You know, the self-made person is such a bullshit proposition.

There's no self-made anyone.

We are really successful to the degree we're invested in uplifting others and not just making it all about us.

And we can receive so much.

We do receive so much in that giving.

Yeah.

there are many practices that we can have and like, you know, things we can be devoted to that support the deepening of our experience of our true nature.

And I found, and I've heard you speak to the really bedtime and, and like the time before sleep, our mornings and our nights are some of the, if not the most important times to guard because we're in a hypnagogic state, right?
