And so much of me has just been portion sizing of like understanding, okay, well, that's probably going to be enough.

And it doesn't feel like enough at that moment because I ruined my body, but 20 minutes later, I understand it.

And so I'm just trying to sort of, again, convey this sort of thing about understanding who you are, choosing the game you're playing, and realizing that life is not one game, but it's a thousand games.

And there's this brilliant quote by this guy called Kwame Apia that's another one of those things.

Well, I'm probably going to ruin the exact one, so maybe you can read it.

Yeah.

And for me, realizing that...

it's just been eye-opening, right?

It's another one that's on my wall because I feel like quite often when I'm talking to people and they're talking and trying to get life advice, they're not playing their game.

They're playing someone else's game.

They're certainly not playing the game they want to be playing, but they somehow think that life is just one game where actually so much is about choosing the right game for you.

And so, yeah, I keep coming back to that.

Energy management is the same thing.

You've got to create the environment around you that you want to do.

You've got to choose your game.

And when you do that and you start understanding that, you start becoming superhuman in your ability to get things done.

I'm more comfortable with who I am than I was 20 years ago.

I was still very much... My whole life, I've been a searcher.

I've been, you know, when I was really young in my teens, I went to every possible religious meetup you could be.

I went to everything.
