But that is not the way it goes because then after you do get off,

You got to clean everything up.

It's like you blow up a city and now you got to build the buildings back up again, or you have a terrible hurricane and you got to go through the long period of build.

And even though you have this wonderful freedom, you still have this past that you have to address.

And so I've made sure in the book that I have addressed the idea of how to address your past.

And the only way that you can really fix your past is to look forward to a great future.

Because, see, the past leads to the present.

And so when you have the past leading to the present, then the present leads to the future.

So whatever you are, your past can then just replicate what you are in the present.

When you have a future, then you can

go backwards and say, okay, now what I am in the future, I can now be different in the present.

And that's what allows you to do.

Exactly.

Yeah.

But you can only address that when you have a new exciting future.

You can't try to address the past from the present because the past will just become the present and the present will become the future.

You can't really get a hold of the past until you say, this is going to be my new future and this is what I'm going to be.

And then that will allow you to be somebody different in the present.

yes you do and so you have to identify to yourself what do i value what's important what do i define as a great life and then i go through the book and i give you all of these domains that happen because of because the fact that we're human beings we're historical we're biological we are beings of language

All of those have created domains in our life that we have to address.
