And that's that kind of epiphany in your life where those things come together. It's like, yeah, this is where I'm at. I do know that... A lot of our motivation sometimes is biological. You know, it's just that, you know, sometimes it's social. And then, you know, your personal motivation. And I think that part of what I believe is you have to self-identify what those things are.

But, you know, to really get to motivation, you really have to do some real self-reflection.

I mean, I think, again, a lot of people are just stuck on automatic pilot. They just they just feel like life is just going to happen. And, you know, and it's just going to happen, you know, and that, you know, it happens by osmosis. And in many cases it does. But there are a lot of choices that we make that we have consequences for.

And so we have to be motivated to decide, you know, where and which way we want to go. At least that's my thinking.

Yeah. You know, as you were talking, I think about this all the time is that when we a lot of times when we ask people, you know, what what what do they want? What do they need? What is their motivation? Sometimes we can be judgmental. Because their motivation is not what we think it should be. You know what I mean?

What is their motivation? Sometimes we can be judgmental. Because their motivation is not what we think it should be. You know what I mean?

But you just said, when they make that question, you back up and just say, hey, you know, because it may not be the same. So people's motivation may not be the same as yours. And so this is where I think it takes a little bit of maturity to understand that everybody doesn't do things the same kind of way.

Everybody is not, you know, you might have a common goal, but you have a different lane in which to get there.

I think sometimes we do go down that pathway. It was funny that you said that because when you said that we talk about cultural motivations, I think about food. I think about body shape.

um i think about how people define the activities that they do uh as this is part of my culture and if you don't do it like this you know then that you know that people have the tendency to just say well you're not doing it right you know those kinds i mean we get into all those kinds of things and so you're absolutely correct and you have to this is why i i that's why i like um

I like thinking about the work that I do as just being a human. There are just some human things that are just that we that we have to do that many times are impacted by a culture. But there are some other things that are common to all people. And so you cannot assume that because somebody does that, that doesn't make them part of that culture. I mean, so.
