You're one child's flu away from like complete imbalance, right?

Where you get the call from the school nurse and your son has to come home unexpectedly or there's like a roadblock in a project you're working on or, you know, you can't, striving for balance is not

like a practical pursuit.

I think what I strive for is to live a life that aligns with my priorities and to have more days than not that I feel like I've done just that.

And I think if you get that right, most of the time you're doing pretty well because balance doesn't work.

It's just like our lives are too hectic and there's too much outside of our control to maintain that equilibrium.

Well, I think, you know, religion for many people provides a beautiful framework for

whether it's the Bible, the Torah, you know, of, like, be a good person.

Like, really.

Live a purpose-driven, meaningful life.

So...

I think there's so much wisdom there.

And I think, you know, we talked about the Stoics.

I think they're some of the great guides.

I also love some of the Eastern philosophies.

Like I love Lao Tzu and the Tao Te Ching is an amazing, kind of reminds me of like the, it's like similar to the philosophy of Jiu Jitsu around just sort of presence and not sort of

fighting what is.

You know, so much of suffering comes from a rejection of, like, what is.

Like, fighting something that it just is fact, as opposed to sort of that which is within our control.

So I'm actually very drawn to sort of Buddhism and Taoism.
