It is so hard to articulate. It really is. It's hard to articulate because of that hard place of trying to figure out whether or not The problem is you or the problem is them. You know, when they say like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, it's not. It's not. It's not you. It's me. How many times do you have to say that before you realize that? No, no, it's actually not me at all. It's them. Yes.

And then the disappointment in that. In knowing that you chose, you decided. And they were the problem. Like, to be able to admit that is so hard. You know, so then, yeah, you spend the time trying to prove that you actually were not wrong. That you chose right. That's the position you spend your energy doing. So that's what happens to me, too.

That often I'm in a situation and I'm like, oh, yeah, no, no, no. I chose right because I'm good at choosing. I've thought about it. I have followed my intuition. God told me. And I moved. I went. And then at some point, you're like, uh-oh. I don't think this is right. Yes. But I've spent so much time then trying to convince myself that I wasn't wrong. And that it must be me. That if I'm only...

smarter, if I'm only more likable, if I'm only wittier, if I'm only more amenable, then maybe I'm not wrong. Because how could I be wrong? I know myself. I take no shit. I could never be wrong in that. It's become very humbling, actually. We were talking about like being strong and soft. It's like you can be self-assured and also humble and humble in knowing that sometimes you get it wrong.
