Ha!

No, it's incredible that willpower can be – also can be enhanced.

Yes.

That that's – it just goes to brain plasticity and that's a concept that I think a lot of people –

don't understand is that we are not set in who we are right we are if especially if we adopt a growth mindset right that we we are never set in who we are we can always improve

and refine the neural structure of our brain to where that it works more efficiently.

At like four in the morning, you know, every day.

But here's the thing is that it becomes a philosophical question because when you say you have to, you know, there are people who get by life, you know, and there is a Tibetan –

tradition and that the monks do where they spend months and they take these little like flute things and they and they have colored sand right and they all sit in a circle and it takes them months sometimes to create this beautiful intricate sand art and they chant while they do it and it's this most incredible thing and at the end they go and they blow it all away yeah

And it's meant to represent the impermanence of life.

But then it's meant to also pose the question, why make something so beautiful when it's going to be – when you know it's impermanent?

And I believe it goes back to the first thing we started talking about today, which is that meaning is everything in life.

And nothing really in life inherently has any meaning except the meaning we give it, right?

So you could go through life as sand on the beach that blows in the wind and it wouldn't really mean much.

when you blow one way or another.

But if you choose to give your life meaning and build a sand castle and make it as intricate and beautiful as you can and make it as detailed as possible, knowing that one day it's going to get washed away,

The only person that it matters to is you in knowing that you did the best you could at that moment that the wave comes.

But...

But yeah, again, I think it's for them anyways.

Well, in a way it becomes permanent, but it also...
