Yeah, okay, so one of the ways that I had my clients answer that question is, we did this in this exercise that I made commercial, this future authoring exercise. It's something, and you can do this when you're arguing with your wife, for example. Well, so one of the things I always ask my wife, and she asks me too when we're arguing, is like, what are your conditions for satisfaction?

Like you disagree with what's going on here. Even hypothetically, if I did what would satisfy you, what would that look like? Well, you can ask yourself the same thing in your own life, which is like, okay, life is difficult and it's rife with existential doubt. Could you imagine a situation where... you were thrilled with your circumstances. So what are your conditions for satisfaction?

That is an exercise of discernment. You have to treat yourself like you're someone you don't know. It's like learning to please someone else in a relationship. It's like, well... It takes a long time to know what makes your wife happy, partly because it takes her a long time to know it too. It's hard because people have a nature and what satisfies that nature has to be discerned.
