When you love, you're open, you're generous, you're thoughtful, you're kind because you've engaged the parasympathetic nervous system.
And you have a choice.
This is like, if you look at stoic philosophers, like somebody like Epictetus, who was a slave.
He says, I cannot control my external environment.
What I can control is how I react to my environment, right?
So you meet people, I'm sure, who say, my life's miserable, my life's horrible.
While you meet other people who go, well, it's tough right now, but I'm optimistic it's going to get better.
Or I know if I do this, it's going to get better.
These are completely different.
Well, I can't sit here and say, you do this and your life's going to be perfect.
There are some situations either because of, as an example, structural racism that's built into the system or chronic poverty because throughout the world and even in America, the ability to overcome poverty, for most, it's highly unlikely that's going to happen.
Mm-hmm.
So, yes, you do have power, but it's not necessarily I'm going to change it and everything's going to be perfect for me.
And I'm sure things are not perfect for you, right?
Yeah.
And no matter how much you try or want, well, externally, things may look fantastic, but
It's not perfect.
And it's not the way you necessarily want.
And I have to say the same thing.
But there are people who, yeah, no matter how hard they're going to work, it's going to be very challenging.
