I think it can be dangerous to kind of say a bunch of affirmations that you don't really believe, like you're going to manifest them, but you don't have that organic, authentic kind of kernel of belief inside your gut.

But I think that what it did for me is it kind of, it's kind of like in the show Kung Fu, which I reference in the book, Soul Boom, it's one of my favorite television shows of all time.

And that's a runner through the show.
And finally, Kwai Chang Kane is able to snatch the pebble from the hand and he leaves the Shaolin Monastery.
and goes to the Old West and fights a bunch of racist cowboys.
Anyways, another topic.
But it's like when you can snatch the pebble from my hand of really believing I am enough, then you're ready.

And I recognized, oh, I don't believe that I'm enough.
I really don't.
And I've got work to do.
So it was helpful for me to kind of go like, it was...
Oh my God.
I mean, it was a good, it was a good, you know, 10 years of me saying I am enough when I didn't believe it until it started through the work that I was doing to kind of believe it in the last like eight, nine, 10 years.
I've, I really have come to believe that I am enough.
