So I had a Gary Vee post pop up in my feed and he made a good point and it was, you can't expect to be the main character in somebody else's story. And it was just a humility check of like, don't inflate yourself further than you are. But I realized that there's another side to that as well. And this is one that I've been really wrestling with is this, you better be the main character in your own story though. Yeah. If you've placed yourself as a side quest, as a Uh, secondary character in your own story, things are gonna go south real fast. You gotta have your own house in order. You gotta have yourself in order before you can do anything for anyone else.
