Well, as long as we keep it vague, then we're setting ourselves up for more. vagueness and failure and self sabotage. But the moment we set a goal that is very kind of measurable and concrete, that's when our sense of agency becomes more engaged and awakens.

Well, you'll be surprised. I have had people with a too much money problem as well, and I'm happy to go into that. But the most common, you're right, is the lack of. And I always invite people to be curious about what they imagine more money will get them. The other way in which I ask the question is when they say, you know, I don't have enough.

And I think the point here is that money can be a very powerful symbol and it represents different things to different people.
