They think, oh, I just have to pick a new destination.

that's higher and and that will make it all worth it and and i i kind of think like the the the anecdote to that is to focus on what what are you doing like focus on the climb like not the destination and doing the climb it doesn't mean that it's easy but but think about you know just just what work and what thing that you could do that would feel

really good.

That doesn't mean it's fun every day.

You and I are both launching books.

As much as I love this book, it is the hardest, most exhausting thing I've ever done.

But I'm willing to push through because I believe in the topic.

So yeah, I think that's where a lot of people, they're getting bullied into a climb or a summit that isn't something that they really want to be doing.

And then there is an interesting line of how that leads to this.

So that's interesting.

You just don't wake up and say, yeah, I'm going to write a book.

Because I tend to be pretty direct.

I wrote the book Elevate because the book I wanted to write got rejected by everyone, which is actually –

A learning.

So I had this Friday Forward newsletter, which you mentioned before, and I had, you know, all these people who love these stories.

And I was like, I'm going to write a synopsis.

I'm going to take the 52 back stories once a week, and I'm going to write, I'm going to pull them out, I'm going to create a book.

And so I pitched it to a lot of agents, and everyone's like, look, publishers don't like compilation books.

And then one agent said to me, look, I love your writing.

I love these stories.
