Well, I mean, an example, like a friend texted me today and is like, did you hit your targets for the book launch?

And I was like, I don't have targets for the book launch.

I don't have like, that is an arbitrage.

I'm not going to pick a number that I have like may or may not work is if I pick 10,000 copies and I sell 9,000, am I supposed to be sad for how long?

Like, is that a useful desire or not a useful desire?

Um,

which is arbitrary.

So like, I don't know, I don't hold any desires particularly closely.

And the longer the term and the more vague they are, the more helpful it is, right?

Like I want to have a wonderful relationship with my wife.

I want my kids to have an incredible life.

Am I stubborn about any of the specifics about how that needs to look?

No, not really.

And so the version of like, you know, do I have to go to one specific place at one specific time on a vacation?

No, I don't know.

It's just there's like a loose grip over almost everything is like maybe where you end up after some practice of like triaging these desires.

I think the lesson that so many of us learn and have to learn many, many times is to trust yourself and your intuition, right?

Like that seems to be like,

the weird arcs and turns of my career, like have all sort of come back to like, just trust, trust that little voice a little sooner.

Um, sometimes I, is that like also your experience?
