And you'll have ups and downs. It'll take a long time, but I'll be here to bless you with that. What would you wish for? And then the punchline is, go do that thing. That's your life path. That's what your soul really wants to do. And that's what you would do if you get out of your head and get out of your fear of failure. So that's one great question.

Another one would be like, if you didn't have to worry about the how. So relax the how you're going to do it. The coaching quote is, the how is the killer of all great dreams. Make space, ask these really provocative questions.

And it's not like you're going to answer them right away, but you might two days later in the shower, you might answer that question and then you'll really know you're going to feel it when you really know it. And then it's really, really tough to go do it. It takes a lot of courage and sometimes the path isn't clear.

But I think that's where the real fun of life is, is really trying to get in touch with what your answer is to some of those questions.

So maybe pick another thing in your high school or early years, something you wanted, and then the steps you went through these days. Sure. Yeah. Just picture you walking around this bottom or like, well, I want to make sure I go to college because I thankfully turned onto these tapes early.

I did really well in high school and I got to go to Princeton. So I was, I think the first kid in my school to ever even apply there, let alone go. So I go to Princeton and all of a sudden I literally felt like Forrest Gump in that scene where his braces come off and he's running because I didn't have to

be like at my mom's house from this time and my dad's here and high school at this time and all this. I had like all this space. And so I literally was like, oh wow, now I can really let go with these goals. I set three goals going into Princeton. I was going to be the valedictorian. I was going to be the number one rower in the United States, even though I'd never rowed before.

I was going to be the number one rower in the United States, even though I'd never rowed before.

I didn't even know that the boats went backwards. And third, I was going to start a business to pay for school. To skip the end of the story, I didn't actually achieve any of those goals, but I came really close on all three. And so rowing is probably the simplest one to explain.

So I show up, I'm a novice, I'm 130 pounds from the wrestling, and I got my ass kicked because there's kids who'd rowed for six years and they knew how it worked. So I got cut my freshman year, but they didn't cut anyone. Instead, they said, okay, if you don't make a boat, you're going to be a land warrior and you can use the rowing machines. I still remember that.

When they posted the boats and my name wasn't on there, I did the math and I said, okay, women's, heavyweight, I was a lightweight, lightweight. And I did the math on how many people got cut and how many rowing machines there were. And so I was like, okay, I got to get here really early because all these people are going to be using the rowing machines. I show up the next morning.
