I will never sleep again thanks to jet lag. On another note, do you get really nervous when life gets too good? Like, when things start going really, really well in your life. And you're not sleeping, I was going through some of my consulting client notes and I was realizing a theme. A theme of a lot of the mid 30s to mid 40s women. And they were all struggling with something around this realm. They got really anxious in their life when it got too good. Like all the stuff that they worked for, all the stuff that they were trying to accomplish, when it started working, they freaked out. And didn't mean to. And self sabotaging looked a bunch of different ways. Like they could have gained weight, they could have started drinking more, they could have started having problems in their marriage. I mean, there's a bunch of different things. Like it wasn't necessarily related to work. But they got really anxious when their life got too good. And so the answer to all of these things, is that you have to figure out how to get comfortable with excellence, really quickly. Which sounds weird. But like, you have to decide that all the things that you're working towards, when you get them, that they're worthy of them. Because that's the issue. You believe that all the things that you're working towards, when you get them, that they're worthy of them. Because that's the issue. You believe that you have to be in a constant state of struggle. And that's normal. Like, there's sometimes when you're coasting a little bit, and there's sometimes when you're not. And that's a normal pace of growth. It does not have to be a constant grind. I do not believe that. Things can be hard, things can also be in flow and be hard. But you just have to be comfortable with the good stuff and letting it into your life. It doesn't always have to be a constant grind. I do not believe that. Things can be hard, things can also be in flow and be hard. But you just have to be comfortable with the good stuff and letting it into your life.
