You know, I'd start with, it's important that we have compassion for everyone being on their own journey.
And there are people who look like they've got it made who actually have big challenges and people who look like they're really struggling or where we would really struggle in their circumstances who actually are footloose and fancy free.
So I just want to recognize it's really easy to armchair quarterback somebody else's life.
That said, I see most of the people who are even here at X, most of the other people I meet in the world, are at 5% or 10% of their personal capacity.
They're weighed down by mostly, I think it's some version of fear.
And that doesn't mean none of us have anything to fear.
But letting fear control you and your choices is so destructive to our ability to get things that we want in our lives.
Which is back to this issue I was describing of being able to manage your psychology.
to get into a neutral position from which you can be wise and make choices, which might be complicated, might have some risk in them, but where you're not letting your fears, sense of guilt, other things kind of like just grab your steering wheel and like whip you around the road.
That's what I see most people spending most of their lives doing.
And what I just described,
like open heart surgery is easier to do than actually building a deep understanding of yourself and being able to manage your own psychology in a really great way.
So I'm not saying it's easy, but that's the work that anyone who I'm coaching, it is all about that because once you can manage your own psychology, everything else is kind of easy by comparison.
And until you do,
It doesn't matter whether you've got alphabets backing or not.
It's pretty easy to screw things up.
Most of your listeners don't know anything about me.
I'll give you an example.
You could go digging if you want more.
But I grew up in a family that was particularly focused on intellectual prowess.
