"The harshest truth every young man must eventually learn is that everyone was always rooting for you. Your parents want you to be a great son. Your wife wants you to be a great husband. Your boss wants you to be a slam dunk hire. Every first date you've ever been on, they've been rooting for you to get laid. Every time you started to tell a joke, people hoped it would have a hilarious punchline. Your proximity to anyone is a reflection of themselves, meaning the deck is never stacked against you and your failures are completely your own. People's proximity to you is a reflection of themselves. We hang around with people who we want to be like, and who we want to win so that we can be in the collective glory of it. So this is where the worldview I think is super important for me at least, which is like we hang around people who've rewarded us for being around them. So either they've removed stuff that we ate or they give us stuff that we like, and I think where it becomes difficult is where you have competing priorities, where you have multiple things that you like and you want to shift, it's where you begin to change. Basically your motivating factors start to change, but your environment hasn't. And so what was once reinforcing for you or was once rewarding no longer is as much. And so this is where people feel this tension between desired of like, this is the life I want to live versus the life that I have. Trade-offs. Yeah. I've given a tremendous amount of thought to trade-offs and I really think it comes down to that is that people are just unwilling to make trades because we want everything. And when we get everything we wanted, we no longer want it because we have it."
