It's like, I have an unbelievable marriage. Yeah. Like, an unbelievable marriage. And I bring this up because when we came, we were here... I was in San Francisco. I lived here from I think 2001 to 2008 or 9-ish. It was a different town, different city. I don't know if many of you lived here a long time. It was different. The indifference
That developed in this town with walking by those who are homeless and those who are in need at a mass social level of indifference. It's terrifying that that can happen. And I think it relates to the fact that a lot of people don't have self-worth. And the lower your self-worth is, the less you're likely to take care of somebody else.

It's why you need to get good with you so you can be good to others. And I think that... Once you've volunteered in a few soup kitchens, once you've helped put a few people to bed, once you've been in hospice, once you've been on the front lines, once in some way you have volunteered your actual time, your actual energy, and you see the need in the world, it sparks a humanity in you.

And when that light comes on to be a giver, I love that slide you had about generosity. When the light comes on inside, which is your humanity, to be a giver to others, worth isn't the issue anymore. It's like for those, you know, I'm more raised in Christianity. So, you know, it's like when you understand that level of generosity and giving of self, you stop worrying about yourself so much.

Like the ego is, you're not so trapped in yourself and your self-concern. And all of a sudden, like worth becomes a humanity thing, not how do I feel about myself today thing. And everybody's worthwhile. I said, maybe part of our purpose, we've been given a hint, is like, hey, if you're alive, maybe part of the purpose is be alive.

But you're also alive with eight billion other people, eight, eight and a half billion other people. So maybe one of the other hints we were given from the universe is, oh, other people, they're involved in this purpose thing. They're everywhere. So, like, engage and give.

And I promise, the more you give and the more generous authentically you are, not as a martyr, but authentically giving and generous, you grow in humanity and that light and that heart and that goodness takes over. When goodness takes over, when you're good... It's just like you don't have to deal with that. Now, the second part of your question is what about people who don't recognize your worth?

The people who don't recognize your worth, please know that usually they don't feel good. A lot of people don't feel good. So when they're judging you and not recognizing your value, it's not about you. They're in their feelings. They're in their own world. They're in their own traumas and dramas. They don't even recognize you. It's like you said earlier, they don't see you. They don't even know.

They don't even recognize you. It's like you said earlier, they don't see you. They don't even know.
They don't even know what you're doing. They don't even care that you're dancing. They're totally oblivious. They're in their own world. They're in their own world. People are so oblivious, we do not realize how oblivious people are. They really are. And I don't mean that in a negative way. They're not into your space.

so first if they judge it realize they don't know you i think second is to realize that your job is to align the humans around you to be as good and caring and thoughtful and compassionate and growth mindset and oriented as you are It doesn't mean everyone will. It just means sometimes you have to decrease the amount of time with them.

I got all this hate early in my career because I started teaching that there's three kinds of friends. and three kinds of people in your life. There's old friends, your high school people and other people, different parts of your life. You never talk to them again. They were just like, they were that chapter in your life. You don't see them again and you're fine with it.
