And maybe this hasn't happened to you, which is amazing. When your dreams become your own prison, when you build it, that's what happens to a lot of entrepreneurs, right? They're tracking on the vision, they're growing it, they're growing it, they're growing it, they're growing it. They get to where they want to go and they're like, oh shit, I built a cage out of my dreams.

Well, the other thing you said, and this is worth asking about, I've always had a vision. My attention always is going, okay, I've learned this. Where can I go next? What's the next hard challenge? What's the next hard challenge?

If you don't have those, if you don't have a new North Star, if you build a company and get suddenly achieved everything you want to do without another vision to anchor yourself, we're goal-directed machines. Humans are goal-directed machines. What the science tells us, if you look at my book, The Art of Impulse, which tracks this,

we function best with three tiers of goals you need daily to-do list clear goals and flow terminology and they're said in a very specific way you need high heart goals these are like multi-year goals three to five year goals and then you need mission statement goals for your life right you want them all pointing in the same direction so like what you're doing today is feeding into your high heart goals
