Well, that's true, too.

Yeah, no, see, that's another meaning of it that I hadn't even considered, but that's a great example of how an aphorism can reverberate in many ways. And this also reminds me of something that I've noticed, because I have the podcast, Happier with Gretchen Rubin, and I've written all these books. Sometimes people will write it, and I try not to give advice, except to me, I give myself advice.

People will write with situations and they'll say, well, what do you think I should do? And inevitably, I can just write back, It sounds like you already know what to do, because even in their framing of the question, they almost always tip their hand. You know, they know what to do. And so I think you're exactly right. You sort of you want someone to come in from the outside and sort of tell you.

I trained in law and I was actually clerking for Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor when I decided I wanted to be a writer. And people often say to me like, oh, how did you do that? Like, that must have been really hard and everything. But what made it much easier for me is I knew the book that I wanted to write. I had an idea for a book.

And I was doing all this research sort of even before I thought, oh, this could make a book. Then it occurred to me, hey, this could make a book. And, hey, I could be the person to write that book. And so it was so much easier for me to leave because I knew exactly where I wanted to go. It wasn't even that I wanted to write.
