So it's all fun and good to say, be where you are, so on and so forth.
But then when you try to sell sponsorship for a podcast and they're like, how many downloads do you have?
Well, that number matters.
So it's not saying that these end results, these peaks don't matter.
It's just trying to help us feel a little bit better as we strive and have our self-worth be something more than an external result, which again, the big paradox is that gives you the best chance at getting the external result and actually enjoying it when you do.
Yeah, I think that and the pandemic, which has helped people evaluate their priorities in life.
And I think what's really nice about words like profiting or success is you get to define what they mean.
And I think a part of the problem is people hear profiting and they think more money or a fancy watch or a bigger house.
And people think success and they hear promotion.
Whereas profiting can also mean knowing your core values and crafting a life that is in alignment with them.
And that might mean turning down a promotion.
If you don't want to manage a team of 100 people because you like doing creative work, well, then what's profiting?
Having that big manager role and making more money or being able to do the work that you love?
So a big part of groundedness is redefining or owning your own definition of success and is an extension in your language of profiting.
And this isn't stuff that is worth thinking about if your basic needs aren't met, right?
If you are experiencing homelessness or you're working two jobs at minimum wage, this isn't
isn't for you.
And it's unfortunate.
And like, there's got to be bigger structural change to help people in that experience.
But for many young, old professionals, even retired folks that do have that base level of security and are structurally sound, it sounds like such a cliche, but I often think striving sometimes in the wrong way gets in the way more than it helps.
