Again, it could be a bad thing because if my self-worth is based on whether or not Lewis says thanks to me tonight, that could be a dangerous state. But I mean.

I appreciate it.

I appreciate it.

What are you basing the appreciation and value in return from? If it is from likes or comments, that can be very dangerous. if you know that what you're putting out there is of service to people, then oftentimes you just have to believe that there are people out there who are benefiting from it.

And I remember for my podcast in 2011, I had it running for a year and a half and it was feeling like the machine. And I was like, you know, kind of, it wasn't growing as fast as the blog was at the time. So I was questioning the work and the time it took to edit and put together the podcast. And I was close to giving up on the show, you know, 50, 60 episodes in.

And right around this time, I got an email from a guy named Michal from Poland. And the subject line of this email was, Pat, please read You Saved My Life. And I was like, dang, that's a good subject line. I'm going to open that for sure. And so I read it. It was like an essay. He had found my show in the early days. Again, I never met this or didn't even know this person existed.

He had found my show early on. when he was bedridden because he got in a skiing accident. And he included x-rays of his ankles with nails and plates in them. And he said that he felt like he was letting his family down because he couldn't go to work. He felt like he was letting his kids down and it was just crushing him.

And he found my show and he said he would listen to it every day and it would encourage him to keep trying and keep going. And he said that there was one particular episode where when I talk about goal setting, I often say go for the almost impossible. And he said with two broken legs that he was gonna go run a marathon.

And he said with two broken legs that he was gonna go run a marathon.

And there was a marathon a year later after he discovered my show, it was the Warsaw Marathon, 26.2 miles. And at the bottom of this email, there's a picture of him crossing the finish line, holding up a sign. And the sign said in Polish, so he translated it for me and said, thank you, Gabby, his wife and his kids, and Pat Flynn.

And, I mean, I'm bawling. My mascara's dripping on the keyboard. And I realized that that's just one person who was listening to the show that I didn't even know existed. How many more people like him were out there? So I'm going to keep going no matter what.

I wrote it for my kids. My son is 15. I don't, admire him for the world that he's growing up in right now. And my daughter's 12. It is so confusing, so overwhelming. It is astronomically harder, it feels, to know what the heck you're going to do.
