I go to learn.
I don't think I'm the only one who can see it.
I think expectations, you know, I always tell people expectations are what make you really unhappy.
And we can't not have any, obviously.
But trade your expectations for appreciation, your life changes.
But our expectations now are controlled more by social media, especially that generation, right?
So they're seeing people that are incredibly wealthy and thinking that's who I should be and feeling like they don't have anything.
I mean, what turned people in the Soviet Union against the Soviet Union?
When they got access to seeing how the Westerners lived, then things changed.
When they didn't see it, it was okay.
So today we compare ourselves to others in ways that are not real because young girls that go on social media, you've seen all the studies, I'm sure, they get depressed because they're comparing to images that aren't even real.
And what I really say is progress equals happiness.
Like if you are growing, if you are going at something, even if you're not there yet and you are going to lose 50 pounds and you lose the first five or 10, or you're in a relationship and you finally face what has to be dealt with, or you face your finances, there's a momentum that happens in a liveness.
I mean, ask all of you here and those of you in the room.
How many of you ever achieved a goal you worked your guts out for and then achieved it and went, is this all there is?
Who's had this experience?
I'm curious, right?
That's a horrific moment, right?
Horrible.
It's worse than failure because most of us simply fail.
