Oh, okay. There's so many good ones.
Oh, okay. There's so many good ones.
I'm going to give one that I don't think any guest will ever give. That's why I'll give it. It's the Bhagavad Gita, which is the wisdom book of the East. It's 5,000 years old, 700 verses. But the most important part of it is it's a conversation between God and the most talented archer in the world. So the most talented archer in the world is about to go to battle, but he's doubting himself.

So the most talented archer in the world is about to go to battle, but he's doubting himself.
He's feeling anxious. He's feeling insecure. His bow's slipping from his hand. He doesn't know if he can shoot an arrow in this battle because he's confused about whether it should take place and whether he should be the one fighting. And it's a conversation between God and this archer. And it literally depicts all of the anxiety, the stress, this self-doubt that we feel

And the divinity or God is talking directly to the archer in how to rebuild his confidence, how to find real worth, what it really means to live a life of value and purpose. And it's spectacular. And it's on the edge of a battle, which I think so many people feel like we're at now constantly.

And God speaking directly to someone who's really talented, really gifted, but has forgotten that they are. And I think that's true for so many of us. So it's my favorite book.

Oh, wow. That's such a great question. Did I ask you this? No, I don't know. Yeah, that's a good question. What did I used to value at the start of my life?
Oh, wow. That's such a great question. Did I ask you this? No, I don't know. Yeah, that's a good question. What did I used to value at the start of my life?
Okay. I used to value people around me that were close to me, really understanding what I was trying to do. And now I'm okay being misunderstood. I'm okay accepting that sometimes I have to do things that people around me don't understand because it's really hard for people to understand themselves, let alone understand someone else.

And usually when you're doing something new and fresh and different, people won't understand you. And if you do what they want you to do, they'll misunderstand you. If you do what you want to do, they'll misunderstand you. If you do nothing, they'll misunderstand you. If you do something, they'll misunderstand you. So people are going to misunderstand you no matter what you do.

So you might as well do something you love. And I think for me, I used to really value at the beginning of my career that people really understood me and understood my purpose and saw it. And now I'm just like... I've got to see it because no one else can. And I can't for anyone else.

Even if I love someone really deeply, it's really hard to see and fully understand them because you're the only one who's lived through the struggle, the stress, the pain, the trauma, the moments you were crying. And you can explain that to your best friend and your best friend can empathize, but they can't really understand it just as you can't for them.
