It's hard.
Give yourself a break.
Eliminate who you are not first, and you're going to find yourself where you need to be.
I had a very important person in my life come to me and say, who's your hero?
And I said, I don't know.
I got to think about that.
Give me a couple of weeks.
I come back two weeks later.
This person comes up and says, who's your hero?
I said, I thought about it.
You know who it is?
I said, it's me in 10 years.
So I turned 25, 10 years later, that same person comes to me and goes, so are you a hero?
And I was like, not even close.
No, no, no.
She said, why?
I said, because my hero is me at 35.
So you see every day, every week, every month and every year of my life, my hero is always 10 years away.
I'm never going to be my hero.
I'm not going to attain that.
