It's 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. Why? Because all of us think we have to have somebody to be somebody. And this guy started his journey on his own before he connected with somebody. Whatever. He knew his purpose. You know, he walked in his confidence.

And a lot of us are going, I hear people all the time, well, I'm not doing good in 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 difficult. It's expansive. But guess what has to happen? You've got to be healthy with you. You can 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 going to 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 were 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 and how can you help me get there? And so a lot of these young kids are

joining things they shouldn't join and being with people because they think their happiness is going to come from being with somebody else. And I just think if you be, eagles aren't trying to, they just are, lions aren't, what do you think about me? What do you think about my roar? You think I'm too loud when I roar? That's not a concern.

That's not a concern.

And so I think step two, figure out who you are, love you, and step three, 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 their purpose might be We both have people whose purpose is to help us with our purpose.

They don't necessarily have an individual purpose. They were called to help us with our mission. That's it. 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've got to figure out what makes you happy. And again, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it.

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 TikTok, wherever I'm on, you don't see behind the scenes. I think that's a phenomenal tool to show other people what, but my wife is private. So for us, that does not work.

So for us, that does not work.

She does not want to be seen in the limelight. She doesn't want to be in Dubai and stop and go, let's take a, let's document what we're doing. She doesn't like that. Yeah, yeah. 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.
