It means
there's a tight link between who I am and what I do in the world, right?
If you just, if you don't know who you are, you can't get match fit.
Um, because there's no, if you don't know your strengths, your values, all that stuff.
So that has to be by 30, by 40, we need to be, we have match fit.
And then by 50, we need forgiveness.
We've got to forgive ourselves for like past embarrassments and past shames.
And we've got to forgive those who have done us harm.
And as you pointed out, um,
i spent most of my childhood losing fights to jocks i was a punk rocker the jocks didn't like us i didn't like them and this was back in you know in the 70s and 80s and like you got to understand like cars of football players would pull up on the side of the road and they'd see a guy with a mohawk and they'd jump out to beat you up and it was like five against one always and you know um it was not a great situation so i had a lot of anger and
I knew peak performance aging, you got to put that shit down.
You cannot thrive in your 50s.
You don't get these superpowers, which is why old dogs can learn new tricks better than young dogs.
One of the reasons I learned park skiing so fast is I have more intelligence.
I've got more creativity.
I've got the stuff I need.
And they've got even more wisdom, which means I can keep myself safer than when I was making better decisions along the way.
That stuff is great, but I don't get it if I can't forgive those who have done me wrong.
So the standard best way to do that, and there's tons of research, is love and kindness meditation, compassion meditation.
It's an incredibly potent tool.
