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'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.

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?

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.
