Like they want you safe. Like, or possibly, right? Yeah.

I love that because I think there's two types of remarks like that. One is to keep you safe. And that's usually if you really think about who you're getting that feedback from. It's usually not somebody who walked the walk. So I think always really be careful about who you're listening to. If they walk the walk and they're saying no, okay, why are they saying no? Let's be a little more receptive.

But if they've never walked the walk, it's usually coming from some kind of guarding you. But I think the second type is just the haters. I had somebody on the show, John Hennessey, and he says, if you don't have haters, you're not relevant. So I was just like, oh, good. I feel better already.

And I think that's so beautiful because sometimes also your mood and your state of mind will dictate everything, right? Because it's kind of like Ford said, you know, whether you think you can, you think you can't, you're right. Whether you want to have a good time or you don't want to have a good time, either one will work.

Like when I drag my kids to a hike, if they're pumped and excited, it's going to be a great hike. If they're already starting like, oh, not again, not again. Guess what? It's going to suck. Yeah. So now I only have an option. Like, do I drag him anyway or do I let it go? But it's like, I know based on the initial reaction. And I think we're the same. We decide a lot of times.

So for people listening to this and thinking, okay, but airline pilot, that is really, really different. What would you say to them? Why pursue either that or anything else that really go after their dream?

But it's part of the fun. It's part of enjoying life. We had Brian Keane on the show and he basically said, what would you regret at 97 and how do you win today to get there? And I think that was also kind of an interesting one for me because it was like, There's some things that you'll definitely regret not going.

And most of the time, we actually regret things that we didn't take action on a lot more than the things that we did take action and didn't work out.
