I get where you're going with this.
That's a great question.
So I think a lot of successful people in the world today are successful because of their trauma.
And what happens then is you can't even be happy in your success because you're doing it to prove someone else wrong or you're doing it to prove yourself right or you're doing it to show people what you could do.
I'm not saying you, I'm just saying in general.
No, no, no.
And then what happens with that is you can't even be happy with your success because you know this as well as I do.
Just because you now became successful, not everyone turns around who hated on you and goes, well done, you know, you really, no one's going to do that because everyone's busy living their own lives.
Like no one really was anyway.
So I think at one point that trauma has to transform into purpose, into mission, which is what yours is.
You're being harsh on yourself.
Like yours is always a mission.
Yours was always a mission.
It was purpose-driven.
You wanted to make a shift and a change for people that look like you and felt like you and came from where you were.
But I agree with you.
And that's what I was saying.
The opposite of what we're seeing now is mollycoddling, hyping.
And that doesn't do anything for you because now there's no challenge.
And so what we really need is challenge, love, challenge, love.
