So I used to be just a total, total jerk. And it wasn't because I chose to be a jerk. It's because I was anxious and triggered and fearful all the time. And I didn't even know it because it was my constant state. So I've done all sorts of things that if I knew what I know now, I wouldn't have done them. And everyone alive says that. Probably the Pope says, well, he just died.

Until he just died, he would have said that, right? And I'm sure even the enlightened beings, the Dalai Lama or some of the other gurus who I've had the pleasure of learning from, I'm sure when they were young, they'd made a mistake, right? And you have to beat yourself up for the rest of your life. You go, oh, what can I learn? And when I work with my kids, the most important thing is

that I've ever taught them perhaps is making a mistake, being wrong. It doesn't mean that you are wrong or bad. It means that whatever you did was, and there's a very distinct difference between guilt, which is I feel bad over something I did and shame, which is feeling bad about something I am. You cannot ever evolve or grow if you cannot make mistakes.

Because if you make a mistake and you're wrong, and being wrong means you're bad, you're cooked. You'll be stuck. And society sets you up that way. So if you want to step into leadership, you want to step into power, you've got to understand you're going to make mistakes. And some are because you tried something, it didn't work.

Other times, your nervous system did something because you were triggered. All that means is you didn't know about that trigger yet, but now you have the tools to just write down. I got triggered by this today. And you sit down, you run the reset process and you'll never be triggered by it again. And so I collect triggers. If someone can get under my skin, it's like, thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. I didn't know about that one. And I don't have very many left. And if I found it, I'm like, that is so cool. How did I miss it?

It's like whack-a-mole with your nervous system.

That makes me so happy. There's two kinds of peace that are possible in the world. And there's one kind of peace where everyone is so tired and malnourished and lonely that you wake up and you just don't have any energy to do anything. And you'll be peaceful because you can't do anything else. And the other kind, energetic peace, you are abundantly powerful and full of energy. Yeah.
