I mean, I always found that interesting.
I take a slightly different approach.
I think that is really powerful and I think that's an important anchor for people.
So my wife and I always say to each other, because look, we have been dirt poor and we have now been very wealthy.
And all along the journey, we've always said to each other, look, man, if I have you like everything else, I'm good.
So literally, there are only two things I'm legitimately afraid of.
There are things I don't want, but there are two things I am legitimately afraid of brain damage because then I cannot build my way back.
I can't have the level of fulfillment joy that I want and losing my wife because a life shared to me is like the highest importance.
Now, having said that, I'm going to set all that aside, and I hope people heard you, and I hope that they take it to heart to paint a lifestyle that they can love, and it's beautiful, but it's simple, and they don't have all this overhead hanging over them.
But I know thyself, as you were saying.
Know what you're good at and what you're not.
I've always told people, if you want a calm, peaceful life, I'm not your guy.
There is somebody else for you to go listen to and follow that journey.
If you want to be aggressive and you want to build something that matters to you, I don't need it to be big, I don't need it to be a business, whatever.
People that want to express themselves, that want to get great, they want to become extraordinary at something, that's what I'm far more interested in.
And so the way that I look at it is right now, it's a time where economically the chessboard has been flipped over.
But in that moment, there's going to be opportunity created.
And for people that, and this, my central thesis is what I said earlier, panic is the problem.
People cannot allow themselves to panic, which is why I like what you're saying.
Don't worry if you lose everything, right?
