I would never want to raise kids that way.
So I learned over time, I work against that opposition to see it helps shape who I don't want to be.
The last thing I'll say about this is just I also work against the knots in life, the K-N-O-T-S.
So sometimes when something's really hard and gnarly and you can't figure it out and it's bothering you and stuff, that's where the biggest growth is.
And I need to look at that and sort of try and relax the pressure on myself and say, this is tough, but I'm going to figure out my way through it.
And that's where I've grown and learned also the most.

And at least for me, I sort of built up that.
