Well, again, she's... She's a miracle because, you know, I knew that when she graduated from college, she didn't speak any English. We didn't speak Spanish. There was no language. I mean, think about that. Come to America at 10 and you don't have any language and you don't have any school. What are you going to do with that?

find your way beyond the stuff that you didn't ask for. And so we couldn't be more, you know, proud of her for what she has done, but have been gifted with the opportunity to play that role in her life.
And so because she has a beautiful brain, you know, God put a beautiful brain inside of her. And we saw that and we knew that our job was, again, to manifest the potential, not to save a life that we did. you know, what we had to do so that she could live her life with the normal crap that all of us have to deal with day in and day out, but find your way beyond the stuff that you didn't ask for.

Well, resources are extraordinarily important and an inventory should be taken of the resources before you actively start pursuing your goal because An adequate resource inventory is directly tied to your level of confidence. And as you're confident and you trust in your preparation, then your anxiety drops. And as your anxiety drops, you're going to be a much better performer.
Your timing is going to be superior, which is what we need to be able to get our goal aspiration launched correctly. to gain initial momentum, to gradually pick up the steam where we get into belief that we can actually do it, that transforms to knowing that we can do it, to being able to complete the goal itself. When I look at the resources that we need, and it doesn't need to be
enough for the entire project. It needs to be enough to get started with responsibly. So we need, what do we need? Well, we need time and energy for sure. We need what? We need materials and supplies. Absolutely. We need skills and knowledge. We also need a team. We got the right team. Do we have a plan? Do we have the financial resources to at least initially get this started?
All of those have to be answered in the affirmative to, again, be in trust. And when we're in trust, again, anxiety drops, confidence is up. And that's the way that you want to always actively start pursuing your goal. I have observed, though, that many people are extraordinarily deficient and lax in their attention to resources.
They feel like, well, if I don't get going now as quickly as possible, then it means I don't trust the universe to provide when it should. Therefore, the universe is going to take away from me that privilege. It's not going to support me because I don't have enough faith in it.
Or somebody's going to jump in line, so I got to get going now because I'm afraid that I'll get pushed to the back of the line. I mean, none of that is true. That's all mythology. But yet, that's the way the human mindset thinks about this type of stuff because it's basically a catastrophizer.
And that's why when we do our homework, again, do the homework first, then the test is easy, why we always wanna do that so that we can check off and trust that we have adequate resources to get started, something most people don't do.
