Everything is good and bad.
In an interesting way, the experience was negative, but I had to figure out how to live in a world where, you know what, Tony, I knew for a fact some people will judge me.
And I had to be in some moments where somebody listened to my story and they just didn't want to spend time with me anymore because they didn't trust me.
I could play the victim or I could understand, hey, you know, I understand that for somebody who's never lived on the side of the tracks that I lived on and didn't do the things that I've done, sitting next to a nine-time felon that's been in jail may be uncomfortable and they may just not want that.
So I have to play this game with myself of judging myself less because I'd been there and I made it out and now I was trying to live a normal life or my version of normal anyway.
But then Tony, I learned not to judge them as well because what's right for me does not have to be right for everybody else.
We all need to discover our version of what works for us.
And again, for people who are stuck in depression and anxiety and addiction or in any other version of being malcontent with their own experience in life, some part of it may be external, but a lot of it is internal.
A lot of it is their own judgment of the experience and that they don't feel like they're getting what they want out of life.
Let me just say that not everybody needs the same thing.
So the way that I do it is not the right way for everybody.
We've all seen the David Goggins kind of, you know, motivation by Marine Corps, you know, get up off your butt and do what I told you kind of aversion.
Some people need that, by the way, and it works really, really well for them.
That's not my version.
So the way I do it, the way I go about it is by trying to actually understand the person's path so that I can mirror back to them the lesson you just said.
Because you said something really important, which was how do you get somebody essentially who doesn't believe in themselves or only looks at darkness, only looks at what's wrong?
How do you get them to understand that their experience is actually motivational, hopeful, et cetera, right?
Easy to say, hard to do, man.
Hard to do.
Because when somebody has always looked at what doesn't work, there's this concept in the brain, it's called confirmation bias.
