You do.

Try to resolve that if you can.

Number two, which is going to speak to purpose and meaning.

I argue that all other things equal, any job that allows you to instantiate your creative impulse is a direct path to purpose and meaning.

What do I mean by that?

A standup comic is creating a routine that until he came along, we didn't have.

A chef is creating a dish out of nothing.

An architect is creating that bridge that didn't exist before.

An author, remember earlier we were talking, I think,

I think it was off air and you were saying, how long did it take you or what was the process?

I said, you know, there's something magical about writing a book, right?

Because there literally is a day where you open the laptop, you open a Word document, that Word document, which eventually you're going to call the parasitic mind,

save, doesn't have a single letter typed.

It's blank.

And then through the magic of creation, creative impulse, a year later, I press the send button.

A year later, you're consuming that book.

That has to be a direct path to purpose and meaning.

Now, that doesn't mean that the actuarial scientist, your brother, doesn't have a worthy life.

But surely,

A person who wakes up who's an artist, who's an author, by the nature of him creating, says, oh, I can't wait to get to the studio.
