But there's a part of us inside of us that believes we are eternal and blissful and full of knowledge and have the ability to outlast.

It's the reason why we want to live forever.

And we're trying to stretch the body to live forever.

But the body doesn't really have that ability.

Maybe we'll get to 150 years, but it doesn't have eternality attached to it.

It's just not meant to be.

So to me, it's always been like, again, I'm not saying I work out, I take supplements, I take care of my health, I do all the things.

I'm not saying to ignore your body.

I'm saying that there is a part of you that has been left alone for too long.

And reconnecting with that through these eight steps, it engages you back into it.

And one of my favorite ones that I wanted to talk about was step five, celebrate yourself.

And I wanted to kind of get to this one because to me, I think the biggest difficulty, like you were saying when you ask audiences, like, hey, is anyone here free of self-doubt and no one puts up their hand?

I often ask when I'm in an audience, when was the last time you noticed and celebrated something good you did and no one will put their hand up?

Because we have such a discomfort.

Think about people dealing with compliments.

If someone compliments you, like most of us don't know what to do with it.

And we shrink and we just go away and we kind of hide.

Obviously there's some narcissists who love being complimented, you know, like kind of like the opposite where it's like their ego gets full.

But I think most of us just go, oh, thanks.

Like, yeah, cool.
