And then now I'm here with you.

I was like, poof.

What a terrible day.

I was like, what have you done today to feel good about yourself?

And I think that's just like a little slice of a pie.

It comes from a good space, but so much of our teachers and our professionals and even our parents, they want to help and they go to the place where the deficit is, like a little hole in the ship and they want to just plug it.

And I think the most important thing that we can do is say, okay, there's that little leak going on over there.

We're going to get to that.

But

let's focus on propelling the ship forward.

Let's focus on setting our sail out and filling it full of wind and cruising off into the sunset.

And we'll just keep a mindful eye that there's a little pinhole leak over there.

And if we focus on the stuff that really propels us and really kind of keep some of the negative stuff at bay, not ignore it, but focus on the feel good.

I think that we can help our students develop that positive affect and feel better about themselves so that they can do all the great things that they're destined to do.

And I think it dovetails perfectly to what you said, which is stop comparing as much.

You know, I think senior year is the perfect example.

This adulting and thriving class that I have fills up every year with a wait list typically because so many parents are so freaked out about my kids got this off the charts IQ, but they're falling apart.

And where are they going to go to school next year?

What are they going to do?

And on the same timeline as your friends' kids who are maybe going to go off and do the same thing that everyone else does, they're probably going to do amazing things.
