I mean, I think that, you know, motivation, I mean, this conversation is really kind of deep because I think it stems, it's a human condition, you know, that we need to address. And especially in a time like this, We hear so much news and so much disinformation and so much information and stuff like that. People are like, where in the heck do I go with this stuff?

Some people say, I don't even get up. You know, because I just I don't know what to do, how to do it. I'm not motivated to do anything, you know, and what skills or benefits or values that they felt like they had in the past. It's like now they're in a circumstance or a situation where it's like, what do I do?

But sometimes, Stan, I want to stop right there. But sometimes our motivation is guided by guilt.

Yeah. I mean, you know, I mean, you talk about the fact about, you know, like with our kids. Well, I don't want you to have the same kind of lifestyle I had when I was growing up. Yeah. Yeah. We played outside when it was 20 below weather and we walked five miles to school. Right. Right. Right. My neck.

Yeah. I mean, you know, I mean, you talk about the fact about, you know, like with our kids. Well, I don't want you to have the same kind of lifestyle I had when I was growing up. Yeah. Yeah. We played outside when it was 20 below weather and we walked five miles to school. Right. Right. Right. My neck.

You know, we don't, we want you to, we want, we want to drive you to school, which is only two blocks away, you know, because we don't want you to experience all the stuff that I did. So it's so much exercise, right? So I'm motivated, I'm motivated by guilt or what we perceive as guilt. And, and, and sometimes what we, what we're motivating for is not healthy, you know?

So it's so much exercise, right? So I'm motivated, I'm motivated by guilt or what we perceive as guilt. And, and, and sometimes what we, what we're motivating for is not healthy, you know?

And I think that that part, part of, part of, part of what we talk about or what we try and talk about is, you know, what motivates you? Why are you motivated by that? Is it because, you know, you feel guilty? Is it because you, you know, what is behind our motivation? Because a lot of times when it comes to motivation, we're stuck on autopilot. You know, all right, here's a simple one.

And I think that that part, part of, part of, part of what we talk about or what we try and talk about is, you know, what motivates you? Why are you motivated by that?

You know, all right, here's a simple one.

And, you know, yeah, that for me is that whole thing about, you know, about self-motivation. I mean, you look at scale, you know, and your five-pound overboard. Some people will look at scale and they say, oh, it's in the right place. You know what I'm saying? Five pounds. So then they're motivated to get 10 pounds. You know what I'm saying? Then it becomes too much, okay?

Then it becomes too much, okay?

But I think that you're right. I think that when we talk about motivation, you really have to figure out, you know, Why am I doing what I'm doing? Is it because I really care? And I think a lot like I want to go back to this whole thing around around guilt. Sometimes people are nice to people because they feel guilty. And I mean, they do things not out of the right, not out of the right intention.

And I mean, they do things not out of the right, not out of the right intention.

And therefore, when you do stuff like that, you're not satisfied. You just do it to be doing it. And I think that part of what I work hard for is to say, why do I do what I do? Do I do it because I feel guilty or ashamed or do I do it because I really want to? And so I try to work with that whole point about I'll never do you a favor. I talk to people that will do me a favor.

I talk to people that will do me a favor.

I'll never do you a favor because I never want you to do me a favor. If whatever you do for me, do it because you want to do it. If you don't want to do it, don't do it for me.

I'll never do you a favor because I never want you to do me a favor. If whatever you do for me, do it because you want to do it. If you don't want to do it, don't do it for me.
