I guess the way it impacted my life the most, it's been a daily practice, right?

One yellow door a day is a nice way to think about it.

And not so long ago, I had a friend who wanted to get together to do a regular Wednesday thing with some guys and he wanted to go indoor climbing.

And I don't like indoor climbing.

I've done it a couple of times.

The shoes are really stupid and tiny and it hurt your feet and I wasn't interested.

But I thought, yellow door.

I gave it a try.

And as I write in the book, those guys have turned into some of my best friends now.

A few years later, we go climbing, we go skiing, we take trips together.

Our families are friends.

We play music together.

We go to concerts.

It's been like this incredible source of fellowship and fun that I was craving in my life.

And if I hadn't been alert to yellow doors, I don't think I would have them in my life right now.

Not to say that every yellow door leads to something like that.

Tons of them don't.

But that's the point.

Life is not, to go back to where we started, life ain't a game.

It's literally not a game.
