Like they were called to help us with our mission.

So we need a North Star so they can know what their North Star is. So that would be my third one. It's like, you gotta figure out what makes you happy. And again, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with, first time I did a behind the scenes coming in here, just because I was like, to my Patreon community, like, yo, y'all need to understand where I am and what's going on.

But I don't if you follow me on Instagram or wherever I'm on, you don't see behind the scenes. I think that's a phenomenal tool to show other people what what my wife is private. So so for us, that does not work. She does not want to be seen in the line. She doesn't want to be in Dubai and stop and go. Let's take a let's document what she doesn't like that. So for some people, it works.

But I don't have to do that to still find a space. Right. There's some people, you know, they do tours. Right. I don't do tours. That's not my thing. I used to do them. I don't do them now. There's some people that write books. Some people don't write books like it doesn't matter. But what matters is you have to find a thing that wakes you up. Yeah. At 3 o'clock or 6 o'clock or 10 o'clock.

You got to find the thing that brings the life out of you, the joy out of you, the happiness out of you. And you can't do that following somebody else's north star. So my last one would be, man, figure out what you was put on this earth to do. And I mean, every single chance you have to do it, do it. And when you're not doing it, enjoy your life. My son was like, Dad, I'm tired. I said, you tired?

I want to use the term that you use, and you said create. And I just think so many of us have stepped into careers, that group. We have worshipped careers more than we worship create. And so the first thing I would say to that group is what would life look like if you did it on your terms? Because right now you're really not doing it on your terms.
