And I think that's where there's an obsession with knowing the entirety and it's because we want certainty. We want to know that we do all of these things that's going to work and you don't. You want certainty from a world that will give you none. And if you are uncomfortable with that, I'm not sure if it might not be real. But I even say that and I almost regret saying that because I was so risk of first when I started. People see the content now or they see you now and you're so confident and great on podcasts and like, but I'm sure the first podcast you did, you like look at it and you just absolutely cringe, right? I had a video that I put out that was like the first content that I made that I was like reacting to my own first content and it's horrendous, it's horrible. But the thing is that you have to be willing to be cringe. You must embrace cringeness. You will not be cool. It will not look good. You will suck. And everyone will know you suck and you will know you suck. But again, it's, do I care more about their version of me or my version of me and are my willing to be a work in progress or am I unwilling to do it because I want to keep my current station in life. But the thing is that you're at a local maximum and there's a desire and you probably if I'm talking to my younger self to be at a higher maximum than I am right now. I feel like I'm capable of doing more, but I'm so afraid of risking this tiny little bit that I've built for myself. But the reality is that the only guarantee that you have and of all the past in front of you is that you stay on the current path that you will not get what you want. So there is a chance that you get what you want if you move, but there is zero chance if you stay. And I think those were some of the thought processes that actually got me to take action was knowing that I for sure guaranteed 100% will be dissatisfied with my life if I had not taken the shot.
