your comfort zone and live a purposeful and fulfilling life.

Let's go. Oh, All right. Welcome to episode 635. Hello my friend. Welcome to a fresh new episode of new mindset who this as always

Thank you so much for listening. Thank you for supporting me and recently I've been thinking a lot about what it takes to live a life of of just joy

And I know that's a broad goal, right? But I'm thinking about

practically what does it take to create a life that you can look at and genuinely say I chose this life.

And not only did I choose it but it contains all the things I want and deserve good people fulfilling work some joy some spontaneity, some peace, all those things, the individual things that make up a good life.

And outside a lot of the things I talk about in the podcast, like finding clarity and acting on it, staying true to what you've learned in the past,

using your past as the foundation for present standards and boundaries,

having a willingness to be awkward or cringe or a beginner.

Outside of those things, right, the things that you do, the things that add up and create goodness

in your life.

Recently I've realized that it is essential that sometimes in the pursuit of this life of joy

you have to be willing to be the villain.

The villain that is you have to be willing to be the villain in someone else's story from their perspective because the freedom that comes from this means something and

Mean something powerful. It means that you've stepped out of a narrative where you are always the one compromising,

you're always the one smoothing things over, you're always the one shrinking,

you're always the one following, you're always the one rushing. It means you're always the one You're always the one rushing

It means you've you've finally put your foot down and you're choosing yourself

And when that's the case being the quote villain is not some act of aggression or savageness. It is simply an act of self-respect.
