I'll cut out snowflakes with you, but I will not. By cut shit, she means literally cut things.
It makes me feel like your work is so hopeful because even the idea of purpose is so hijacked. When people say, Well, I have to do something according to my purpose. Everyone thinks... purpose is something that comes to me from the outside. Like my purpose has to be world peace or whatever insert, you know, altruistic situation.

But what I hear you saying when you say we need to be in our purpose is that it's an internal thing that living in purpose is just living on the outside in alignment to what is important to you on the inside. What is important to you, not important to your community or your school or your world even, but Can we look at the things we're doing and ask the whys for the negatives too, right?

Like if we're feeling ragey about something that we're going, we feel like we're not in alignment. Do the whys help with that to get to, if I'm feeling empty and frustrated, do you have experiments with that where we can get to the why we feel frustrated because we're out of alignment?

I don't want to hear that one. That one's too much for me, but just based on what you just said. But I love the eulogy one because I'm constantly thinking about we all want to avoid deathbed regret. And truly the only way we can do that is to avoid bedtime regret, right? It's like looking at your life as Annie Dillard said, how we spend our days is inevitably how we spend our lives.

And I just wanted to say one more thing about what you were talking about with distraction, which is that I think about this all the time because I go to a 12-step meeting every morning and there's something magical that happens to me in those, which I don't know what it is and I'm not worried about it.
