So, no, I cannot solve all the world's litter problems by picking up a couple of pieces of it.

But we're all faced with that to some degree.

There's nothing we can do that solves a lot of problems in general, but it doesn't mean that we can't make situations better.

And it certainly doesn't mean that we can't make our lives better by doing little things.

you know, 15 minute meditation practice a day done very consistently over a long period of time, if meditation is the right thing for you.

So I'm not saying it's right for everybody, but for some people it's very beneficial, will make a really big difference.

I use the example in the book of the biological idea of homeostasis, which means that our systems are always trying to balance themselves out.

Your body doesn't want you to get too hot.

It doesn't want to get too cold.

It kind of wants to keep you in the same place.

And I think that we, particularly in today's world, can find a little place that's mostly comfortable.

that we don't really want to leave because it kind of feels good in there and it's easy and it doesn't demand anything more of us.

And yet for a lot of us, there's a nagging feeling underneath it that says like, oh, I could be more than this.

I could do more than this.

I want to do more than this.

I want to be different than this.

I don't know why we always have resistance.

I mean, I've asked this question a ton of times on my podcast because I'm like, like you, every single time I do a workout, when I'm done, I'm like, I'm so glad I did that.

Yeah.

A hundred percent.
