0:00The first step to like becoming more successful is understanding the language that the people who are successful are using. They're actually defining the word differently. And so whatever that thing is that you actually enjoy doing where you lose track of time when you're in it, even if it's challenging, but usually it is challenging, right? Like it's not easy because then it's boring, right? Which is also why the uncertainty thing is so key, right? To not knowing if it's going to if it's going to work or not. You are going to work though either way. um is that the people who are quote addicted to work make it easy to be addicted to work because they do things worth doing. And I think a lot of it is coming down to making sure that you take the few precious seconds that we have to do the few things that are worth doing for the rest of your life.
0:44The more I listen to this, the better my life gets. If they don't have what you want, don't listen to what they say. There's no greater waste of time than justifying your actions to people who have a life you don't want. That was a message to my younger self. [laughter] But um I remember I got in and well I won't I won't call it out. Um [sighs and gasps] let me see how I can say this the right way. Um you know what? I'll just say it. I'll whitewash the names. So, I was with a family member and we're all around the kitchen table. It's during the holidays because I don't go home very much. And they kind of started attacking me. Um, and they were like, I would never live your life. You're so unbalanced. Like attacking. And I was like, what are you saying?
1:40And she said, I I I just would never do that. And I was like, "All right, well, what part of my life is unbalanced?" I was like, "Do you feel like my health is unbalanced?" I was like, "Do you feel like my marriage is unbalanced?" I was like, "Do you feel like my finances are unbalanced?" I was like, "What part of my life do you feel like is out of whack?" She was like, "You know, I'm I'm not as good as with words as you are."
2:07And that was the And I was like, "Okay, so the fact that you can't make a logical argument, I'm not going to continue how that conversation went." But the the TLDDR of that was I really thought a lot about it and it came down to I wouldn't live your life. And my response to that is good. Don't.
