So that's what I do.

And then in real time, I come up with a different word that empowers me.

That little bit of process and that strategy is the things that I do on my mindset with everything that doesn't serve me so that I never fall or get trapped into a place where I play the victim or I have an excuse.

to do it.

And so I have caught myself in real time.

And what I mean by that is, well, it was not my fault.

And so every time that I do it and I say the word should out loud, even if I do it in this interview, you'll see me in real time, catch myself and I'll stop.

Oh, well, I didn't do that.

That doesn't empower you.

So again, pause.

How is it your responsibility?

And I'll be like, okay, I don't mean should, what do I actually mean?

How can you take ownership?

How do you reorient yourself?

And I'll replace it with a word that empowers me to move towards my goals.

And then how do you keep going?

And ultimately, that's everything that I do.

I have a set of goals and I have a set of values.

And every day I go, what moves me towards that and what doesn't?

The things that don't move me towards my happiness, my goal, and even happiness, to be honest, isn't a permanent state.
