I would say step two. And I don't know why they don't teach this in school. I be your first best friend, you know, like get to know you. We're so busy. wanting to be in a community that we don't realize we are a community, right? And look, I'm not trying to be deep.

You know, people could, you know, you believe this, you don't believe in this, but what I was taught, you know, in school, especially Catholic school, it seemed like Adam was by himself first. It doesn't seem like it was like somebody else. It was like Adam was first and then whatever happened after that. So the first man was by himself. And I think that's important for those of us who study that.

And I think that's important for those of us who study that.

Why? Because all of us think we have to have somebody to be somebody. And this guy started on it. He started his journey on his own before he connected with somebody, whatever. He knew his purpose. You know, he walked with his confidence. He walked. And a lot of us are going. I hear people all the time. Well, I'm not doing good life. Why not? I don't have nobody. I'm not in a relationship.

I'm saying you're telling me. No, listen to me very closely. Do you think for one minute? that getting in a relationship with somebody, it can't be the key because so many people have gotten in relationships and got out of it. So that can't be the key. Now, two healthy people, not perfect, but two healthy people coming together. Oh, no, that's different. It's expansive.

people you could be with this so we even messing each other up when we have two dysfunctional people trying to connect with each other because we think two functional people don't come together and make each other it's not gonna work so i just think the first step after the first step is you got to figure out who you are and love you and feel good about you and show up in the ring you and not care what nobody think about you

And that's why this relationship has worked so well for me over the years, because when we're together, it's never been a thing of, E, why you do that? E, why you do that? Or E, why you do that? It's always been like, E, you have a unique set of skills that make you great. You have a unique set. And so we've always focused on what's our unique skills? And what do you know that I don't know?

Figure out your North Star and wake up every single day going after your North Star. Because when you have a North Star, you know, and the people that you love and you spend time with have a North Star, have a purpose. And look, that purpose might be We both have people whose purpose is to help us with our purpose. They don't necessarily have an individual purpose.
