And another thing that having a definite purpose allows you to do is be alert to opportunities. When I know exactly what I want to do, it's things going on around me that I can go, you know what? That right there helped me get where I want to be. I need to be aware of that. What's up, Don Z? Like, when you got definiteness of purpose, you see people like Don Z. It's some overlap in what I do and what Don Z do. And because I got a definiteness of purpose and Don Z got a definiteness of purpose, he know exactly where he going. I know exactly where I'm going. When we cross paths, it's not just an impassing thing. We both noticing, like, hey, that's a relationship worth building. That's a relationship worth investing in. Without definiteness of purpose, what you would do is you will pass up on opportunities without even knowing that they were opportunities. Think about that. You will pass up on opportunities without even realizing you passing up on the opportunity because you can't even take it for what it's worth until you know exactly where you headed. So people that's just joining us, man, today we talking about definiteness of purpose.
