And I realized, wow,

This is what the part of well-being comes from.

If you think about well-being, it's really two different words because they're connected.

When we say them, we think about it as one thing.

And if you look at the definition of well-being, it makes no sense.

It's like double talk.

But if you couple those two words, well...

is actually that feeling that you get a peacefulness inside, that connection to your soul, that sense that you are showing up the way you want to show up, that you're in control, that you're your own best friend, that no matter what's happening in the world, nothing can change that feeling inside.

And that, to me, has been the biggest realization of the last two years.

It's like, I am really well.

And I am well because, you know what?

I'm kind to myself.

I like my life.

I do the best I can.

I screw up all the time.

I laugh at myself.

And then being is the one that I find so interesting.

We were talking about goals and no goals and the value of goals.

And think about another one.

It's like we spend all our time doing things.
