But easier said than done . And that's one of the biggest challenges I think that , that we have as friends and in parents and uh teammates is helping people learn to detach , learn to see the bigger picture , learn to see that the , the problem that you have that your whole world is actually not that big of a deal . You know , when I wrote , I've written a bunch of kids books and one of the things that triggered me to write kids books is realizing that , you know , one day my daughter came home , it's my oldest daughter and she came home from school and she's like I , she says , I'm stupid .

There's nothing but darkness . So helping people move forward , take action and be able to get that perspective , detach and get outside themselves , get outside their own heads . You know , Tim Ferris said , get out of your head , get into your body .

And , and now what are they gonna do when you're facing a significant problem in life ? A relationship , a problem with a job , you gotta remember that you're in one ecosystem and if you step outside of that ecosystem , no one really cares . And you could go move into a whole day .

Totally different . Ecosystem and , and find happiness there , but at least utilize that to get out of that storm cloud that you're in and you're going to find that there's plenty of light out there in the world , move towards that and it's going to be a much better situation .
