Like, freaking amazing.

He just kept making communities his whole life.

Oh, that's great.

No, I think the way to think about that goal conversation is a really good one.

And I definitely feel it personally because it is really satisfying.

It takes me back a little bit to our conversation about sort of narrow attention versus meaningful attention.

And I think where I see it fail is where you've just got the goal for the goal's sake.

where you're sort of feeling like when I get there, everything's gonna be great and my life will be transformed.

And you're relying on that goal to do that.

Where I've seen it succeed is where the goal is serving.

You almost can think of the narrow as serving the broad, where it's like, I'm doing this, but I'm doing it because I have this deep joy.

I'm learning how to play ping pong, but I'm doing it because I have this deep joy of playing with my kids and they all play ping pong.

And so I'm taking, they're fueling each other.

The wide is fueling the narrow.

And so looking for those connections between the narrow and the wide ends up being, I think, a really helpful practice.

Like what relationships are connected to this goal, this narrow goal that I'm going after?

Because relationships are living things too.

From my own point of view, I set out to try to like help the guardians build a better batting practice.

And I ended up with a...

you know, relationships with a bunch of people there that I now consider, you know, really good friends.
