to be their true selves.

Yeah, but I know exactly who I am.

That's why the noise doesn't affect me.

I'm really proud of the fact that, you know, I've lived through some incredibly intense times where people are taking cheap shots and swinging and I don't punch back because I don't

believe in sort of spending my time and focus like being combative like jumping into that particular arena and to like the nasty swirl of social media it's just it's not for me and I've been consistent in that my whole life and I feel like that sets an amazing example to my children.

You just have to be yourself, and you have to be true to yourself.

And I don't allow that noise to distract me.

We were talking earlier about stoicism.

I think Marcus Aurelius' Meditations is so informative on so many levels.

I mean, here you have somebody who is literally an emperor, and he's writing this journal in a tent in a battlefield.

So his perspective is...

Amazing.

And he once wrote that the soul becomes dyed the color of its thoughts.

And I think about that all the time.

The cost to me of living in a way that's inconsistent and not aligned with what feels right, what models the right thing for my children, what feels inherently true to me

It's too expensive.

It's too expensive for my soul, so I won't do it.

So, you know, there have been times when the incoming and I say, well, but that isn't right or this isn't right or I want to correct it.

And then I say like, what's the cost of doing it?

Thoreau has another great quote.
