And so you figure out, oh, okay, this is that.

Here's what the choices are.

Here's how reality works.

And so I'm just saying you did what we were talking about, right?

And if everybody gets that and really understands how to go do that, the two big things is how do you get your alignment of your lower level you with your upper level you?

How do you get past your ego and your blind spot?

And we know what the ego barrier is, like I gotta be right, or whatever it is, or I'm not good at this.

The blind spot barrier is the realization that people actually see things different.

They see different things.

Like somebody will see the big picture, somebody will see the detail.

They'll focus on different things, almost like a color spectrum type of thing.

And if you realize that you will see a part of that spectrum and other people will see the other part of the spectrum, and so that you really need to, when you go above yourself, you really need to orchestrate all those ways of seeing.

Because you are not just one of those people that's gotta do it yourself.

Your way of being the success is to go above it and be the orchestrator and know what you're good at and what you're not good at.

So it's almost like if you want your life to be successful,

you will not let yourself do certain things because you're just no good at them.

Once you get that picture down, then you can find the paths wherever the paths are.

You're open-minded because now you've given up your ego barrier and your blind spot barrier.

So your particular case just was another one of those.

Everything, the way is another one of those.
