Self-awareness to know, okay, so, you know, again, is it, am I not doing as well as I could be because of luck?

Or is there things that I can learn?

And I always look to mistakes as opportunities.

I really do.

When I make a mistake in a poker hand, right?

Call it a breakdown or whatever.

And that's where breakthroughs happen.

I'm like, oh, you know what I could have done here?

I could have done this and that would have been really good.

And I'm going to do that going forward.

So I think like with anything, you know, when you start out playing golf, like your goal is to just hit the ball, right?

Then you try to hit it in the air.

Then you're trying to hit it straight.

Then you're trying to hit it on the green.

Then you're trying to hit it closer to the green to the point where the pros get where, you know, they're so finite.

They're trying to hit it 63 yards and spin it back three yards.

It's imperfect.

Like they don't hit the perfect shot because the perfect shot for them is it goes in, but they try and make the mistakes smaller and smaller and smaller.

Poker is the same.

We all make mistakes consistently.
