Right.

But I think that there were a lot of things that, um,

again, created like resilience for me, like this sort of bounciness, this ability to sort of be like, it's okay, like I'm gonna move forward that came from that.

But think about if I had been born in 1600, right?

So when we think about like, I'm born in the late 20th century, I'm a woman.

I'm born in the late 20th century.

What are the outcomes that were available to me versus if I were born as a woman in the 1600s?

where I would have been property.

I, in fact, just missed the generation where it was mostly like secretary wife that was mainly available to you as outcomes.

So that moment that you're born actually sets into place what the distributions of outcomes are that are available to you.

And then here's the thing.

You get to make decisions that can affect where you land in that distribution.

Because you can think about somebody else who's born into the circumstances you were, you know, doesn't end up in the situation you are today.

Some of that has to do with luck that happens along the way, like right place, right time.

Like who knows if you have been born before podcasts, right?

Like, you know, who knows, right?

Like we don't know, but like you found opportunities, you made something of them, but there's other people that are born into those circumstances that don't get themselves out of it.

Some of them make pretty good decisions.

Some of them don't.

But the fact is that because of the circumstances that you were born into, where you ended up in is actually a much lower probability outcome.
