One of the hardest things to recognize

are the people and ideas that are toxic to us.

It's so hard to recognize.

It was my downfall, and I had to, it took years of people giving me clues and seeing the

pattern in order to make different choices.

So it started when I was 30 with my dad telling me, you know, you're surrounding yourself with the wrong people

and the wrong ideas.

Money doesn't buy you love or happiness.

Then six years later, it was my best friend telling me, I don't want to go to the masters

with you because you're surrounding

yourself with the wrong people and the wrong ideas. There was two weeks after that

that my wife is like I'm leaving you because you have surrounding

yourself with the wrong people and the wrong ideas.

And I still didn't listen when she said that.

It wasn't until the next day after I was hating everyone

that I took enough clues saying,

how is it that I hate my mom, my dad, my best friend, and my wife?

Because they're telling me something about the wrong people and the wrong ideas that I'm surrounding myself with.

All those years, all the inputs, the people who care about me the most, genetically and energetically, your parents, your best friend, and your wife, are somehow trying to hurt you by telling you you're surrounding yourself with the wrong people or wrong ideas,

why won't you listen?

That's how hard it is, Greg.

And so in order to determine it is to start building the clues faster in listening
