And so my favorite quote of all time, which is probably at the front of a few of the books that I have and will probably be the one that will be on my tombstone, is a permutation of an Orson Scott card quote, which is, we question all of our beliefs except for those that we truly believe and those we never think to question.

And so I would say that a lot of my entrepreneurial career, even just human journey has been, what are the beliefs that I so, so inherently believe that I don't even see them? I don't even think about the should. And so when he said that to me, I was like, whoa, I have had this inherent demand of the universe that my life be meaningful.

And now people would hear this and be like, they have their shoulds and they're going to say, well, it should be meaningful. And I'm like, why? According to what? And if we look at history, history pretty much sweeps everyone under the bed, like within a hundred years. And within a thousand years, basically everyone and the people that we remember, we remember some of their works. And we go...

100,000 years in the future or 10,000 years in the future, probably unlikely that we will be remembered in general. And that is solving for the idea that we need to be remembered. Again, we have to. Why? And so my solving has been for degrees of freedom and responsibility. So what are the things that I can control?

And I will do the very best of my ability to try and do the things within my control to ideally make other people's lives better and my own in the process. Now, that is a choice rather than a, I demand that of the universe. And this gets really abstract and heady really fast. And so I will try and bring us back down to earth. But by demanding that life be meaningful, by demanding that I be happy,

when I understood that I was demanding these things and pursuing them, that they were outside of me, by saying, I need to do this, that I created inherent space that I could never gap or I could never close. And so by trying to forget or eliminate The demand is where it was the first time that I experienced those things.

And so I try to keep them out of my head to the greatest degree possible so that I can be inside of them. That sounds weird. Rather than in pursuit.
