I think it's everything we thought we talked about today. It's everything we talked about today. What are your thoughts? And remember, your thoughts are one thing, but your vision is much stronger than your thoughts because your thoughts lie to you all the time. Your thoughts go back and forth. Thoughts go up and down. Thoughts are, one day you're on fire and life is wonderful, and the next day it's shit. When really nothing happened different in those two days except the thoughts you have. So, Jim, the first thing I'd always remember, our thoughts are things. Thoughts lie to you. Do you ever have a thought, tell you your friend did something behind your back and you're like, er. How could they do that? How could they go to that party and not invite me? And you're all fired up and then you find out they were sick and stayed home and it wasn't anything like that. Did your thought lie to you? Yeah, of course. Thoughts lie to you every day. What about the inner dialogue, right? I mean, literally, right now, for a second, can you hear that inner voice without talking? Can you hear that inner voice say yes or no inside with your mouth shut, right? That voice, that person. That person talks to us all the time. We're not crazy. There's always that inner voice. Should I go to this party? Should I do this deal? Should I do this? Should I get enrolled in this next level course? Should I show up at the live event or. Did she really do that? Did he do that? All this dialogue going on. Sometimes the thoughts are so loud and so noisy, it's like if it was a friend sitting along next to you, you'd be like, shut up. You never stop talking. Just be quiet. That's our thoughts, right? So thoughts are cool, but vision and clarity is a lot better. Find out the vision of where you want to go. It's a year from now, you turn around, Jim, it's the best year of your life. What does that look like? That's your vision. And then start doing the shit, for lack of a better word, that brings you towards that vision. And start saying no to the stuff that keeps you stalled. Start saying no to the stuff that doesn't serve you. Start saying yes to the stuff that does. But then chunk it down, prioritize, stop distractions, get disciplined, set timelines with deadlines and work in that time to reach those goals. I hope that makes sense. What's up? What's up?
