That is, if you've been granted life, the purpose is life. Another word is aliveness. What everybody wants is more aliveness. What they're usually chasing in the next thing is more aliveness. The bigger risk, the bigger deal, the bigger adventure, the bigger novelty, the bigger complexity, the bigger bank, the bigger, it's like the chase makes them feel alive. And so the chase is important.

So we just got to make sure they're chasing the right thing. We are goal-driven species. We have this drive to achieve and build and create and expand. So you have to honor that. And I want you to feel that. We call it meaningful pursuits. We want you to have a meaningful pursuit that brings you alive. And sometimes it takes a while to figure that out. And the block is they're busy.

in the wrong chase. They're in the wrong hunt. They're literally playing a game that isn't even what matters to them. They just got taught that, or the kids who went to that college they went to that was fancy did that, or those guys on Wall Street who do that, or this guy I'm neighbors with who has this thing. And now they're playing games that are stupid that don't bring meaning or aliveness.

And if you don't have meaning and aliveness, The worst thing is you start making even worse choices because now you resent other people. So now you've got to compete with them to beat them in games that don't matter. Does anyone hear what I'm talking about?

It's like this is why alignment and finding the feeling, what brings you alive a little bit, what has meaning to you, that's where the wealth is. What brings you alive, what brings you meaning, that's where the wealth is.

Yeah, it's going to sound so lame. If you find yourself preparing for it, thinking about it, researching it before you go do it, you're on the right track. I'm from Montana, where I grew up hunting, and I don't hunt anymore, and I know I'm in California, so hunting is officially banned by the government here. But my dad grew up on a true ranch, Uh, have y'all seen Yellowstone?

Like my dad grew up, but it was not fancy like that. He grew up in a place where he had to go four and a half miles to a one bedroom schoolhouse. So he grew up hunting because that's how they provided food for real. And so I grew up a little bit like that too, because we were broke and it was a big deal to go hunting.

But, uh, I use the metaphor just a little bit because people who, who, if they're on the right hunt, they get up at like 5 a.m. Hmm. They start putting things together. They're checking the gear. They're checking the equipment. I got a buddy. He doesn't hunt, but he's like a kite boarder. You all know what kite boarding is? Yeah, yeah. Okay, it's really hard. He's a kite boarder.

Man, he loves to get that... everything ready with the kite boarding and get it into the truck. You're preparing.

It's the weirdest, funny thing I discovered working with all these amazing people, high performers around the world. We do this research. They just prepare more. But the preparation isn't because of fear of failure. It's like they kind of geek on it. It's like they got all the gear for the bike and they got all the weird... They like to do things... They're doing it because it's an interest.
