And I think going back to what you shared about your TED Talk, it's it all starts with the congruence and the alignment of being on this very personal journey, because the only way that you can come to the right conclusions is if you're looking at it through the right lens.

And if you're not looking at it through the right lens, even if you go through the exercise, you won't arrive at the right conclusion, right?

Oh, yeah. No, no, no, no, no.

Oh, yeah. No, no, no, no, no.

Yeah, that is such an interesting question. And I love that you asked that. And I don't know that I have the I'm not the almighty with the perfect answer, but I can certainly give a little bit of my opinion on that. You know, I think I think, first of all, we were given our strengths to exploit them. We are given our gifts from God to use them. That is the primary calling of our lives.

So to me, I do feel that our strengths were made our strengths because that is where we are meant to assert our power and invest our energy. So I am very much of the idea that leaning into our strengths is the core of how we achieve success.

However, we all have, and I hate saying the word vice because vice many times is used in the context of like drugs, alcohol, like negative habits, but that's not the same as You could be here using your strengths, but because you don't have organization, you're constantly missing this thing that would take you from here to here, right?

So that's the 20% that we all have to look at to say, okay, 80% of my energy is going to go into maximizing my gifts and deploying my strengths, but I have to pay attention to the 20% that could give me another 80% that I'm ignoring because it's not my natural strength. And that's where I feel like we missed the mark, right?
