I walked to the place with the item that my wife is going to send me to Safeway for, and it's not there. And my self-pity is, like, overwhelming. Like, I could have gone to Albertsons. You know, why am I here? And nobody loves me, and nobody understands me. And my self-pity went to a kind of overdrive. But there was a moment where it broke.

Just one moment, I turned away from the shelf where the item was supposed to be, and I noticed for the first time I'm in Safeway, big supermarket. I literally said to myself, holy , Fred, look what you're missing. You're missing abundance. This store has everything.

So I had a voice almost in me that said, pay attention, Fred, pay attention. I walked out of that supermarket and I was, I was different.

Dana is one of the people that even after a decade or more, I still remember. Her issue was that she was a great worker. for a local Silicon Valley company who worked above and beyond what anybody could expect from a employee. She came in early. She also was ambitious. And so she had an expectation that that best effort would lead to a promotion. So after a number of years of
