You know, we do these things all the time.
And so, you know, can you tweak the words of your why?
Of course, you know, but that's semantics.
Can we find better ways to bring a why to life?
Yes, that's the evolution.
Yeah, a why is always positive.
And I'll give you a real-life example of somebody's white discovery that I did.
And one of the things I do when I do somebody's white discovery, I ask them about happy experiences when they were kids.
And this person said, I didn't have a very happy childhood.
I had a really bad childhood.
And I said, okay, so tell me a bad memory then.
And she talked about a lot of abuse in the household and a very abusive alcoholic father.
who would beat her mother and the kids.
And she told a story of a repeated pattern of when the father would be drunk and come looking for the kids, that she'd be hiding in the cupboard protecting her brother with her arms wrapped around him to shield her brother.
And she goes through this whole story, and at the end I pointed out to her that she's a protector.
that in these traumatic experiences, it was her instinct to protect her baby brother and she's lived her life.
If you look at all of the times that she's really thrived and where she's her best self, she's usually in a position of protection of other people.
And that's where she finds joy in taking care of other people.
And so the experiences mold us into who we are and the effects, the impact will be positive regardless of where it comes from.
So yeah, I mean, horrible childhood that made her a wonderful human being.
