Don't be so sure that you cannot do this, and don't be so sure that you can not impact people. As a matter of fact, if you have some confidence in at least taking the steps to learn how to do it, and listen to someone like you, who's been doing it, who's had enormous challenges, but still, I'll tell you, there's a lot of people that have your condition that are probably pretty miserable because they have never created an outlet to impact other human beings. I know one of the things that drives me is, and I would like to think it drives you, is that, you know, when you open up your mouth and you have a camera on you or you're in front of an audience, it makes you feel good when you know that people are like, wow, this person's adding some sunshine to my life. This person's teaching me how to be a better human, how to run a better business, how to be more effective at what I'm doing. And everyone that would ever watch this, there's something that if they just knew they could say it to the world and do it in a way to where they would win, they'd be doing it all day long.
