So getting on the plane, that was an engineer thought with the goal in mind, but I don't know how I'm going to do it.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I'll say this.
I have an hour at Winter Rite.
the book Greenlights, which is basically the last 40 years of my life, I thought that 85, 90% of my successes were going to be obviously engineered.
Or I could see the signs, saw the habits, here's what I did, yep, that add up, got the solution, got the conclusion.
I was very surprised when I noticed that it was probably less than 50%.
And that most of the real successes of my life were when I
trusted, that when I trusted that I didn't have to define it, that when I trusted that I didn't have to go, well, what's the measurement?
What's the score?
This leads to what?
What's next?
And I, for me, that's still a challenge for me daily
Now is to trust and not be, because I can be, I think I can be overly practical and I think I can overcompensate and miss out on magic because I'm still going, wait, but do you, are we giving enough, are we giving enough measure and credit to actuality?
Are we, am I giving enough credit to this is, these are the steps to take?
and this is reality, I think I'm reminded when I trust, because going with the mystic, just to put yourself on the plane was the engineering, but getting there, and as you say, you roll in that mystical, it takes a lot of trust.
Amen on that.
Where do you get that courage and trust to go with your gut, your, your feeling?
And is there, for instance, three days later, you sit down, is there, if you didn't, if that doesn't happen, is there a sense a week, two weeks later, now when you come back to America, they're like, ah, I failed?
