All right. Putting tools in the toolbox. If you want to become a master craftsman, you want to build this amazing house, this amazing message, whatever it may be, you're going to need tools, right? And so right now, I'm in a stage of my life where I'm getting my tools, I'm getting my hands dirty, I'm figuring stuff out. I'm testing things out. I'm testing the waters. I'm going all in and trying to figure it out as I. It's almost like. I love to use this analogy because it paints a picture. But let's say you're driving on the freeway, right? It's a very cloudy night. It's raining. There's storm outside. It's super foggy. You could probably only see maybe, what, 5, 10, 15ft away. If you have the high beams on, it's super hard to see any further than that. Right. So what do you do to get to where you want to get to? Just drive 5, 10, 15ft. You only drive as far as you can see, and then you can see a little bit further. Keep on keeping on. Eventually, once the storm clears, the horizons clear up. Now you could see the sunset all the way off in the. In the horizon. You can see everything. Then everything becomes clear.
