Transcript excerpt

You'll get everything that you want out of life when you develop a really low tolerance for misalignment. So basically, what that means is you don't negotiate with yourself. You know what you worst, and you don't accept good enough. Most people go through life, and they end up with everything that is good enough. They wanted to live in a certain place. They wanted to have a certain spouse. They wanted to have a certain career path, certain job, but they almost got tier. And then they were like, alright. Well, this is close enough. If you want to love your life, then you don't do that. If you wanna love your life, then you don't negotiate. You have steadfast loyalty to what's truly in a 100% alignment with your soul and with what you actually worst. Because the more you negotiate, the more you stray away from this is exactly what I wanted, this is great, the more those things add up. And, eventually, you reach this point where everything is like, yeah. It was almost tier. But all of those things combined mean you live a life that you hate. Your life will quickly turn from I'm in control. I'm making all of my decisions to what the fuck? How did I end up here?
