Welcome to Reparenting Radio.
00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:06.080
I'm Lisa Watson, architect of human transformation.
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:15.919
This is a space for leaders, parents, and anyone ready to break old patterns, regulate their nervous system, and show up in their life with clarity and self-trust.
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:21.280
If you're ready to change the way you lead, love, and live, you're in the right place.
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:22.559
Let's begin.
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:30.000
Hello, friends, and welcome back to Reparenting Radio.
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:38.000
There are four words that I have been saying to myself for probably, I don't know, at least three years now.
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:43.600
And they are expect nothing, appreciate everything.
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:47.200
Honestly, I thought I understood them.
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:52.399
I really did, because I talk about expectations with my clients.
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.759
I use this phrase with my clients, which they seem to love.
00:00:56.159 --> 00:01:00.240
I've talked about how expectations are the mother of grievances.
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:02.799
I fully believe and understand that.
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:18.480
How often our disappointment isn't actually coming from what happened, but it's coming from the distance between what happened and what we thought should have happened.
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:22.239
So intellectually, I completely understand this.
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:25.439
Expect nothing, appreciate everything.
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:43.040
But something has happened in my life over the past month or so that has made me realize that although I understood this concept and completely agree with it, I mean, it's it's my own saying that I came up with.
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:49.040
I mean, I'm sure someone said it before me, but I didn't just read it somewhere and start speaking it.
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:57.680
I I lived it and I realized we need to expect nothing and appreciate everything.
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:05.120
But what I realized about a month ago is that I wasn't necessarily embodying it.
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:26.400
And that's there's a really big difference, a really big difference because recently I've been playing, paying closer attention to whenever I feel disappointed or irritated, discouraged or frustrated or sad in some way, or you know, somehow like my life just isn't where it's supposed to be.
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:34.080
And I've started asking myself, well, is this an expectation problem?
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:46.639
And almost every single time there seems to be something there, a yes, some invisible expectation sitting underneath the emotion that I'm feeling.
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.240
I expected that my business would be further along.
00:02:50.479 --> 00:03:01.599
I expected I would be able to um really launch my new consulting business when I moved here in San Diego in like three months or less.
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:06.319
I expected, you know, to be making more money than I was in that time.
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:13.360
I expected my marriage to look different, that my husband wouldn't be living in Mexico for away from me for the past six months.
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:43.120
Um, you know, I've expected certain relationships to look a certain way for the, and I think one of the biggest things that I've realized is that I expected that after all the personal development and spiritual shadow hunting, deep work that I have done on myself, and believe me, I've done a lot over the past 10 years, then my outer reality would somehow look different.
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:55.599
Almost like there was this unspoken agreement, like, okay, life, I've done my part, I've healed, I've learned, I've grown, I've become more conscious, I've changed.
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:57.759
So, you know, show me the goods.
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.120
Where's my stuff?
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:00.960
Where's my thriving business?
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:02.639
Where's my perfect relationship?
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:12.800
Where's that new big house and car and bank account or whatever little things that you, you know, a person feels would be representative of that.
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:21.920
Where's my little gold star, you know, from the universe saying, Congratulations, Lisa, you have successfully completed personal development.
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:25.279
It turns out there are no gold stars.
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:33.199
What I've started to recognize is that underneath many of these expectations was something even more interesting.
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:41.040
They weren't simply desires, and they weren't simply things that I preferred.
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:50.399
What they were were rules, rules that I had unconsciously written for how my life was supposed to unfold.
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.279
The invisible rule book.
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:55.439
And I think we all have one.
00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:00.639
The invisible rule book we carry around about how life is supposed to work.
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.439
By this age I should be here.
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:08.319
If I've worked this hard, I should have this much money.
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:15.279
If someone loves me, then they should behave in this way, or living arrangements should look a certain way.
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:29.040
My spouse should know what I need, my children should appreciate what I do for them, my adult children should call me more, and my friends should reciprocate in this way, or people should be considerate, or maybe they should know better.
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.560
Traffic shouldn't take this long at this time of the day.
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.160
And the person in front of me shouldn't be driving this slowly.
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:46.319
My flight should not be delayed this long, and the person I'm meeting, they shouldn't cancel the last

minute.
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.040
I shouldn't still be dealing with this.
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.480
Listen for that word, should.
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.839
Because should can reveal the rule book.
00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:01.439
Because the fascinating part is what I've realized is life never agreed to any of it.
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.920
Nobody handed life a rule book and got a signature at the bottom.
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:07.519
There was no contract.
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:15.360
And yet when reality violates one of our rules, we can react as though a contract has been broken.
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:17.920
This wasn't supposed to happen.
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:18.959
According to whom?
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:23.360
Sometimes the answer is according to me.
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:29.680
And that doesn't mean the thing that happened was pleasant.
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:31.600
It doesn't mean you liked it.
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:32.879
It doesn't mean it was fair.
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:36.319
It doesn't mean we have to tolerate harmful behavior.
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:40.560
It simply means reality is already reality.
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:45.920
And arguing with the fact that it happened doesn't change it.
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:52.480
So there's expectations versus preference.
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.920
And I'm not suggesting that we stop wanting things.
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:57.120
I have preferences.
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:58.639
I have lots of them.
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:02.879
I prefer people to be kind.
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:06.959
I prefer people to communicate clearly.
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:12.160
I prefer my relationship to feel reciprocal.
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:16.560
I prefer financial abundance over financial stress.
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.920
I prefer having a peaceful home.
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:23.839
I prefer plans working out.
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.800
I prefer people doing what they say they're going to do.
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:34.399
And I have standards, I have boundaries, I have goals, I have dreams, I have intentions.
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:45.600
The difference is what happens inside of me when reality doesn't match those desires or those preferences.
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.920
A preference says, I would really like this to happen.
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:55.040
An intention says, This is what I'm moving toward.
00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:02.560
A boundary says, this is what I will or will not tolerate or participate in.
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:13.439
But an expectation can quietly become this is what must happen for me to be okay or peaceful or happy.
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:17.199
And that's where I think we surrender some of our power.
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:23.040
Because now my peace is dependent on something outside of me following my script.
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:27.439
Everything is information.
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:45.120
And those three words really connect directly to something
that I have been practicing alongside expect nothing, appreciate everything that I feel has really shifted things for me in the last 30 days.
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.600
That everything is truly information, just information.
00:08:49.919 --> 00:09:03.759
Someone behaves in a certain way that I don't like, a job opportunity doesn't work out, or a relationship changes, maybe someone doesn't call me back, or plans around where I'm going to live suddenly change.
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:11.200
Traffic, drivers, loud motorcycles going by when I'm trying to have a peaceful walk.
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:12.559
That's all information.
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:15.360
Plans around where I'm going to live suddenly change.
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:16.879
That's information.
00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:24.320
A loud motorcycle goes screaming past me while I'm trying to have a peaceful walk, and I immediately feel irritated.
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:25.759
Information.
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:29.440
And that's something that actually happened recently.
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:31.600
I think I talked about it a couple podcasts ago.
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:39.679
I was out on a walk and it seemed like every loud car and motorcycle that existed was driving by me that day on my walk.
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:42.480
And I was feeling so irritated.
00:09:43.279 --> 00:10:02.639
And instead of immediately thinking, oh, these people are so inconsiderate or placing the blame on the noises, I just looked inside at myself and was like, wow, interesting how much this noise is affecting me today.
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:04.639
Am I overstimulated?
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:05.600
Am I tired?
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:07.919
Is my nervous system acting for quiet?
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:09.679
Do I need something?
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.120
Like the motorcycle isn't an instruction.
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:15.360
It doesn't tell me what to feel.
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:16.960
It's neutral.
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:19.519
It doesn't tell me what to do next.
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:24.559
It's noise is just information, and so is my reaction to it.
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:35.360
And that's where knowing yourself becomes incredibly useful because now I have information about the external world and information about my internal world.
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:40.559
And I get to decide what I want to do next.
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:45.279
I get to decide what I do with both.
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:50.480
And there's power in now what?
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:51.600
That question.
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:53.360
Okay, everything's information.
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:54.320
Now what?
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:04.000
And this is my favorite part, and this is the part that has, I think, given me the most relief is that question, now what?
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:10.559
Instead of spending hours arguing with reality or doing the mental gymnastics with it.
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:14.480
I just asked, now what?
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:16.639
Okay, my housing situation changed.
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.639
It went from having to be out by December 31st to October 15th.
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:21.840
Okay, now what?
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:22.960
That's it.
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:25.360
Maybe I didn't want it to change.
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:28.480
I could have preferred it, wouldn't it change, but it did change.
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:29.279
So now what?
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.039
I'm gonna look for another place.
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:32.799
A job doesn't work out?
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:34.080
Okay, information.
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:34.799
Now what?
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:36.480
Apply for another one.
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.759
Someone behaves in a way that I don't appreciate?
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:41.039
Information.
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:42.159
Now what?
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:43.360
How do I respond?
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:44.960
Do I have a conversation?
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:47.120
Do I adjust my expectations?
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:49.039
Do I create distance?
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:51.360
Do I need to set a boundary?
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.080
Do I let the relationship go?
00:11:54.559 --> 00:12:04.720
Do I recognize that this person maybe simply isn't capable of giving me what I expected them to give me, or maybe they're just having a bad day?
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:09.679
That's where our power comes back through choice.
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:14.720
Because we cannot control the information that arrives.
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:18.240
We can only participate in what we do next.
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.080
And that doesn't mean bypassing your emotions.
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:35.039
Because I certainly don't want you to take this phrase, well, everything's just information, and have it become another way to spiritually bypass or pretend that we don't have feelings.
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:38.960
That's not what I'm talking about.
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:42.399
Something can be information and hurt.
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:45.679
It can be information and still disappoint you.
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:51.919
You can grieve, you can be angry, you can be scared, you can say, this really sucks.
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:54.960
This is hard, this is challenging.
00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:57.600
Okay, you're allowed.
00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.240
The practice isn't don't feel anything.
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:07.600
The practice is don't automatically turn the feeling into a story about what reality should have been.
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:10.960
Feel the disappointment.
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:14.000
Then notice the expectation under it.
00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:19.679
Maybe I thought this relationship would last forever.
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:30.559
Of course, you're grieving, but underneath that grief might also be, well, I feel that way because I thought it was supposed to last forever.
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:33.360
Those are slightly different
things.
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:38.000
One honors what you lost, the other argues with what happened.
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:42.240
And that distinction is incredibly freeing.
00:13:43.840 --> 00:14:08.399
And it allows you to drop into this place where instead of fighting with your reality, complaining about your reality, trying to see where your reality went wrong, what how it could have been better, spending all this energy on something that you can't change, you can just ask yourself, well, where did this rule come from that it was supposed to look different?
00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:14.639
And because this is reparenting radio, you know we're gonna go into the reparenting part, right?
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:17.519
Where did we get these rules?
00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:37.120
Well, some of them came from our families, some came from religion, culture, school, gender expectations, movies, TV shows, social media, or communities, just simply what was modeled to us in our childhood.
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:58.480
Things like by 30, you're supposed to be here, by 40, you should be doing this, a successful person looks like this, a good mother does this, a good wife does this, a man should, a woman should, a marriage should, a career should, a healed person, you know, behaves like this, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:00.639
There's so many damn rules.
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:09.279
And if we never examine those rules, we can spend an entire lifetime just trying to win a game that we didn't even consciously choose to play.
00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:12.000
That's reparenting.
00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:14.960
Not just healing childhood wounds.
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:21.519
It's becoming conscious enough to ask, do I actually believe this?
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:23.440
Is this my rule?
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:25.039
Is this useful?
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:26.639
Who taught me this?
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:28.480
Does it serve me?
00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:32.639
Does it empower me or disempower me?
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:36.639
And what happens if I don't follow this rule?
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:39.519
What are we teaching our children?
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:44.559
We're handing these rules down to our children all the time without realizing it.
00:15:44.799 --> 00:16:09.279
You should be getting better grades, you should be outgoing, you should play outside more, you should do more sports, you shouldn't be upset about that, you should hug grandma, you should listen to me the first time, you shouldn't be afraid, you should be grateful, you should do more around here, you should be happy.
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:21.519
Imagine being a child having a completely legitimate emotion and being told that according to the adults' rule book, you're having the wrong experience.
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:23.679
You shouldn't be upset right now.
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:25.440
You should feel better.
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:29.200
Instead, what if we just become more
curious?
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:31.600
Oh, you're really disappointed.
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:32.960
Tell me about it.
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:35.919
That wasn't what was expected, was it?
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:38.320
What did you think was gonna happen?
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:40.320
What are you feeling now?
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:42.720
What do you want to do next?
00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:51.279
Now we're not just teaching children that life must meet their expectations, we're teaching them you can meet life.
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:53.279
That's resilience.
00:16:54.480 --> 00:17:08.480
But it's not only how we talk to children, it's how we're talking to our own inner child, recognizing the scripts that we're running and asking ourselves, are these the still the scripts I want to run?
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:12.240
Because there's knowing versus embodying.
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:23.279
The difference between knowing something and embodying it is I've known to expect nothing, appreciate everything.
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:23.920
That's it.
00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:31.039
That's something I believed, I've been teaching, I've been saying for years.
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:36.480
I've coached it, I've taught versions of it, I've understood it intellectually.
00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:50.319
But sometimes an idea has to travel a really long distance from your head into your nervous system, into your behavior, into the way you actually experience Monday morning or Tuesday afternoon.
00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:52.480
That's embodiment.
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:58.240
You don't have to remind yourself of the lesson every five minutes.
00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:01.359
It starts becoming how you move through the world.
00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:07.039
It's kind of like practicing playing the guitar or riding a bike.
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:14.240
You know, you have to consciously think of where to put your hands or your feet or your balance or what to do.
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:20.720
But then after you do it many, many times, it just becomes subconscious and it's just happening.
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:24.880
And that's what happened to me with this phrase, expect nothing, appreciate everything.
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:31.200
It went from being something I was saying to something I'm now embodying.
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:42.319
And strangely enough, I'm experiencing this deeper sense of peace during one of the least predictable periods of my life.
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:50.319
I'm, you know, searching for a place to live, I'm exploring different work, I'm living a different country from my husband.
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:55.680
Plans keep changing, and I don't exactly know what the next six months are gonna look like.
00:18:55.839 --> 00:19:03.519
Yet internally, I feel surprisingly peaceful and more peaceful than I have felt in a very long time.
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:10.160
And not because I know what's gonna happen next, but because I'm becoming less convinced that I need to know.
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.519
That rule is no longer in my rule book.
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:20.400
I've decided I don't need to know what's gonna happen in order to be peaceful.
00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:22.240
Everything's just information.
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:30.799
I know that I will make a decision each day as I'm confronted with things to the best of my ability.
00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:35.680
I know I'm intelligent, I know I'm resourceful and creative.
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:50.079
And so I just don't have any rules to what life's gonna look like other than creating the best experience I can and making the best choices I can from moment to moment each day.
00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:54.400
Expect nothing, appreciate everything.
00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:04.400
It doesn't mean don't plan, it doesn't mean don't dream, it doesn't mean accept crappy behavior from people and become passive.
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:07.599
It doesn't mean you stop creating your life.
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:15.119
It simply means you stop demanding that the present moment look different before you're willing to participate in it.
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:17.519
It means you stop complaining.
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:23.759
Because even when something isn't what I wanted, there's still something there.
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:31.839
Something to notice, something to experience, something to appreciate, something to learn, something to respond to.
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:37.440
And maybe that's connected to the childlike wonder that I've been feeling lately.
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:48.960
Because children, they don't wake up with a five-year strategic plan for what Monday morning or Tuesday afternoon needs to unfold into to be successful or entertaining.
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:51.519
They just wake up and they enter the world.
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:52.400
What's this?
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:53.200
What's over here?
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:54.960
What happens if I do this?
00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:57.359
And then they play with what's there.
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:00.079
Maybe we could all use a little more of that.
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:08.880
Less trying to force life to follow the script we've written for it and more curiosity about the life that's actually happening.
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:13.039
So I want to leave you with a little practice this week.
00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:22.799
The next time you feel disappointed or frustrated or irritated or resentful, or you catch yourself thinking, this shouldn't be happening.
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:28.160
He shouldn't have done that, she shouldn't have done that, it shouldn't be this way.
00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:30.000
Why is it so hard?
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:31.039
Stop.
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:33.119
Just stop and ask.
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:39.359
What rule did I have about how this was supposed to look or how it was supposed to go?
00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:42.160
And don't judge the rule and don't judge yourself.
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:43.440
Just notice it.
00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:45.039
Maybe you still like it.
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:46.640
Maybe it's an important standard.
00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:47.839
Maybe you want to keep it.
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:54.559
Maybe it's revealing a boundary you need to set, or maybe you'll suddenly realize, oh crap, I made that up.
00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:58.000
I don't need to, I don't need to worry about that anymore.
00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:06.319
And then ask yourself, given the information I have now, what do I choose next?
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:09.920
We're not spending energy trying to change what happened.
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:18.960
We're gonna spend our energy getting present and looking at what is the next move I'm going to make.
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:21.519
That's the part that's yours.
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:34.640
Take the information, feel what you feel, trust yourself to respond, and then just keep playing the game moving forward because life never agreed to follow our rules.
00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:38.559
And I I have realized that that's not a problem.
00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:42.480
That's what keeps this whole experience interesting.
00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:56.319
So expect nothing, appreciate everything, and remember that everything is simply the information that you get to choose how you're going to respond to.
00:22:57.519 --> 00:22:58.640
I'll see you next week.
00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:03.839
