Chapters
I pivoted for sure. Also it's the circumstances because my parents they change places where I was living right at like 20 so I really got like into my own bubble. Maybe that like kind of saved me. But I've also took it upon myself to really get obsessed with self development and self improvement. And I think that's my message to the audience is like pick yourself up you know and get addicted not to crack which I wasn't by the way but don't get addicted to the wrong things. Get addicted to self development, you know and getting 1% better, getting healthier, filling your brain with good information because bad information is everywhere nowadays. Like you're not going to get educated on tick tock. It's likely open Wikipedia instead and go read history. You're going to get really, really smart that way and study biographies of the greats from Gandhi to Mother Teresa to John D. Rockefeller, you know, so.
