I don't think I valued how people have such different values. And what I mean by that is when I married my wife, we literally moved to New York three months after we got married because I got a job offer, the job offer of my dreams. And to me, I was like, we're moving to New York. We're in our late twenties. Like this is like the coolest thing ever. And for my wife, it was, New York was hell.

You know, she wanted to be with her family. And in the beginning, I didn't get that. I was just kind of like, that's cool. But look at this life we're building. And we weren't successful or we didn't have a lot, but it was cool to be in New York in our late twenties. And I think over time, it made me realize just how you can't make someone value what you value.

You can only respect their values and they can respect yours. And I think over time I learned to respect that what made my wife special was her relationship with her parents. And that I didn't have to build something to compete with that. I didn't have to win the value war.

I had to just let her be that person because that's what makes her beautiful and bubbly and wonderful is this amazing relationship she has with her family. And what makes me who I am is my purpose and my mission and everything that I'm building. That's what makes me lovable. And so if she also tries to change me, it wouldn't work.

And so I think I didn't realize the value of people's values back then And now I deeply, deeply understand that you can't change someone's values. You can't make their values your values. You can't even change yours. And it's better to help someone chase their goals and protect their values than it is to try and get them to change over to yours. And so that is something that I deeply value now.

I see why it's so important to follow their truth and their calling and their value because that's what makes them lovable and who they are. If you take that away from them, you wouldn't love them anymore.
