And you don't love it.

And all these things are paradoxes.

On the one hand, I start the book talking about this book of life practice that I've been doing since 1994 of really trying to have a conversation with yourself over time and writing in this book for one period of time every year about the same things so that you can go back and

C, what were your hopes and dreams and have you done anything about them?

And the real point that's come to me over all these years is not do you achieve these goals, but are you attuning to these goals and are you in alignment?

Are you living in alignment with your goals?

That, I've found, is more important to my well-being and happiness than achieving.

So if my goal for 20 years has been to launch Dot Earth and create my version of the metaverse, which is different than Zuck's version, okay, cool.

It's okay that I haven't done it, but have I gone for it?

Or have I just talked about it?

And that's, I say these ideas and things haunt us and over time weigh on us because it's like, oh, I've had this idea, but...

I haven't ever done, or I've always wished I could do this.

And the point of the book of life is let's stop time.

Let's stop time right now.

And let's go to an absolute place and have a real honest conversation with ourselves and say, you know, Sam, are you, are you serious about this desire or are you just around?

And if you're serious about it,

Well, what's wrong with you?

You're capable, you're a free human, and why in the last year have you... Let's be honest, you haven't done shit about... Mark, every year you say you want to learn guitar.

You know you could do it, but you don't.

So why don't we just stop putting that down as a goal because you're not serious about it?
