I haven't gotten a lot done.

Or the crazy optimist will only see the good and will ignore the things that didn't work out and as a result not improve on the basis of those failures.

So laying them both out and being really explicit about what those hits were and what the misses were and why, trying to get underneath the why behind each side of that, is a pretty powerful exercise.

Yeah.

I mean, on the hit side, my biggest thing this year was the success of my book launch.

I mean, I I said it at the outset, but one thing I've changed my mind on is like certain achievements have the power to completely change your life.

That was one for me that did completely change my life, you know, in terms of like.

The trajectory and the inflection point of my ability to impact and reach people, the rooms I'm able to be in, the people I'm around.

It was a three year in the making pursuit that I fully leaned into once I got over the fear of it not working out.

gave everything I had to it and it hit and it clicked.

And I was mostly really proud of the fact that I did confront the fear and lean into it.

And when I say why did the hit hit, part of it was all of the work that went into it.

And the other piece was just like,

It hit because there was no other option.

I was just like I didn't leave any single thing on the field.

And that feeling is one that I haven't had since maybe my athletic days of like truly giving every single thing I had to something.

And so it was a pretty profound lesson for me.

Yeah.

And it's the all in thing is so funny because everyone says they're all in, but then they're not like, you know, a lot of people I'll talk to about book launch stuff.

I'm like and then they'll say they don't want to like shamelessly self promote it or they don't want to like text people.
