And on that particular point, it's one of the things that I often think about with fitness and working out is if I can be the guy that grabs the keys that day when I don't feel like it, then how that permeates through the rest of my life and how I show up in the rest of my life when there's things I don't want to do.

And I think he said basically that that part of the brain, and I'll put this up on the screen, grows the more hard things that you do. So you basically build the muscle of being able to do hard things.

And the minute I learned that, I went, oh, this makes a lot of sense because the more I was able to make the workout stick and the health and fitness stick, and now my diet is like, as we sit here now, is extremely disciplined. I've changed as a person in other areas of my life. I've got more organized with my possessions and my...
