they're so hard on themselves. Right? That voice in their head is just a mean critic. And one of the guys who went through runs a 1200 person company, he said, I just realized that all of my success is from the bullies in seventh grade to prove I'm good enough. Now, you can be successful with that as your motivation is just miserable.

And I freely admit my early career successes, because I thought money would make me happy. And I was really pissed when I found out it didn't. And If you turn that forgiveness thing around and you say, you know what, I've done all sorts of shit I wish I didn't do. And I did that because this is what my body's programmed to do. And my body takes action before I can think.

And because my body changes how I perceive things based on its programming. And I didn't know. well, what is forgiveness then? Forgiveness is not saying that something that happened is okay and is not telling the other person you forgive them. In fact, most people get triggered by forgiveness because their mom made them, you know, tell them that you forgive them.

And you're like, I don't forgive them, but your mom makes you do it anyway. So then like, ah, forgiveness is a bunch of lies and nonsense. No, forgiveness is a specific neurological state in the body that we can measure. And when you do it the right way, Forgiveness is simply about turning off the grudge and the anger and the negative emotions.

And if you have those aimed at yourself, and you do if you had parents or teachers or coaches or people like bullies or trolls or anything who said bad stuff about you. And when you just sit down and say, you know what? I'm a flawed human being. I've done all sorts of stuff. God, I used to be a total asshole. I don't know if I can swear on your show or not, but I just did. Absolutely.

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.
