So how would I describe oneness? I would say you feel whole, you feel complete. You definitely feel a sense of being content because you don't hate what you're doing and who you're doing it with. I'll never forget I was at a practice with a bunch of executives, and I heard someone say they want to retire. And we all laughed because we knew this person wasn't going to retire. But he said, I'm retiring from people I don't want to work with, and I'm going to retire from things I don't want to do anymore. And on that day, I made a commitment to myself that I'm retiring. And I have. I have. I've made a conscious decision to not work with people I don't want to work with. And I'm done doing things I don't want to do. It doesn't mean it's perfect, and it doesn't mean there's not times where I get caught. But for the majority of my time, doing what I love and I'm within that unique ability of what I love and what I'm good at doing. And I say no to everything else. And it took me a long time to get there. But to me, that's oneness when it comes to me and my work.
