And this right here is, you know, if I had zero attachment to it, what I think, you know, if I had zero attachment to it, this is what I would do. And then compare the two and see if there's a gap between them.

You might be refusing smarter ways to get things done because you're tied to your worth being something that you struggle with. Oh, I struggle, I struggle, I work hard.

Many people in the world doing this right now.

You might hold on to things way too long, even when you should have let go of them a while ago. Because your ego hates change.
