It sounds like you need a complete reset of what you think life is about.
And someone told you that it was about getting a lot of money quickly and easily and that you're smart and that you could do that and then you could go do anything you wanted to do.
And so the good news is you got hedonism out of your system really early in your life.
The bad news is it cost you a couple million dollars to do it.
And so, you know, I would take you from Wolf of Wall Street to a monk, right?

And then when I when I hit the wall and the car just disintegrated in the NASCAR wreck, the engines up in the stands.
I mean, this thing's just gone.
One of the things I had to come to grips with is I wasn't as hot as I thought I was.
And that helped me reset, and I settled way down into a more psychologically and spiritually healthy rhythm to reset my life.
And I think that's what I want for you, because I like you.
