There's tons of evidence that changing your environment is critical from recovering from addiction.

If you're still hanging out at a bar, it's going to be really hard to be sober.

So we want to utilize those things but we don't want to become dependent on them.

So shape your environment for your benefit, but also be stable enough internally to where you don't need your Aquaria to feel stable, which I doubt you need.

Yeah.

So I think it's a great point, right?

So I think we sometimes forget.

So I was giving a talk for executives about work-life balance, and I was like, there's no such thing.

So I think we try to work is over here and balance like, you know, home is over.

Sorry.

Yeah.

Life is over here.

That's not how it works.

You as a human being carry yourself between both situations.

When things are bad at work is when people have affairs.

If things are bad at home, you're not going to be your best at work.

So I think you're really tunneling down into, I think, the most important part of it, which is that look at how you get shaped and look at the person that you carry into your next thing.

There's a whole science behind that, which I think we probably don't have time for, but like this idea of samskaras, which is like almost like learning.

So if you sort of look at every experience that you have, you learn something and you carry yourself forward, right, into the next experience, into the next experience.

Okay.
