You

those people will make authentic human decisions that makes them ever more unique.

The degree that you specialize, even if you set out to be a generalist, you will end up becoming a specialist.

A sufficiently advanced generalist becomes a unique specialist.

You should aspire to be a unique combination of authentic traits performed to excellence.

Those are the careers that

you are going to enjoy and products that are going to end up being unique.

So should is one of those...

Words that just indicates to you that you might be feeling more of an obligation than an interest in something.

And so you hear people talk about like, I should go work out.

Like, yeah, but also your relationship to that thing is now like, I don't want to.

And the voice in my head is telling me that I have to.

And the common thing is like, I get to work out.

So just like change your phrasing about, you know, you have the opportunity to go do this thing that you want to do.

There's a bunch of funny, like little reveals in language that like when you're paying attention to people's relationships with things.

um that's in there but like i should go to work i should you know follow in my family's footsteps i should pursue this opportunity like we all have those and it just listening for them um yes it's either an obligation or an imposition from from some version of yourself uh that you don't necessarily agree with or some external voice that is like speaking to you more loudly than your inner voice

There's one from his personal trainer, which is hard choices, easy life.

In the short term, if you take the hard path, you will sort of naturally bias.

You'll come up with an excuse not to work out.

You'll come up with an excuse not to have the hard conversation.
