It wasn't a certainty that I knew, it's I took a risk and it paid off.
So again, you could take, and we have a thousand examples of this, but you could take from this, hey, I'm a genius, I know better, that's ego.
Or you can go, hey, I took a risk and it paid off.
That's, to me, confidence with some self-awareness in there.
And so whatever story you tell yourself about why you are where you are, it doesn't change what happened.
Like, the event doesn't know that you're telling a story about it, but it does change how you make future decisions.
Right?
Like, if you feel like you're anointed, if you feel like the rules don't apply, if you feel like you can defy gravity, you know, all these things make it really likely that in the future, you're gonna overreach.
And that tends to be what successful people do, right?
They tend to overreach.
And so that's what I think you want to take from, like, trust your gut, but trust the right part about it, not the delusional part of it.
Do you feel that you have ever overreached?
Yeah.
I mean, I try to think mostly back around the calls that I made where I was super wrong.
Like, I don't think about the fights I had with my publisher where I ended up being right.
I think about the times where I insisted on getting my way, and in retrospect, they had a point, you know?
I try to think about the... the times where, you know, I didn't listen to the feedback.
Um, and I...
would have saved myself a painful bump on the head had I done so.
And I think that's healthy.
