It absolutely makes your life more enjoyable.

And that's the whole point because if life were about the destination, it'd be called death.

So we're supposed to be enjoying the process.

But also I've found that it absolutely brings more reasons to feel that way.

And so I was like, okay, and I have kind of a two part process for this.

Like the first step is, okay, what do you want?

I was very clear on that.

And then the second step was like, okay, what are the feelings that I actually believe the things that I want are going to bring me?

And I wrote down those feelings.

That's what I just mentioned.

So like feeling like I'm growing.

To me, like I...

I have, like, some top wants, needs, values in life.

And one of them is joy, right, that I mentioned.

And the other one is feeling, like, growth.

Like, to me, like, feeling like I'm growing is a huge kind of value that I have in any way, shape, or form.

Not just, you know, in a, like, in a physical sense, but also in, like, a spiritual sense or a mental or, you know, whatever.

Yeah.

physical sense.

And so, yeah, I wanted to feel like I was growing in some way, you know, like bettering myself, bettering my life, the world, whatever, making an impact.
