Good morning.

So I was going to just play the video right from the beginning, but I feel like some context might be helpful in terms of really understanding

the point here.

So this video that I released on Wednesday, it's called I've come too far to quit.

And the idea is a simple one.

It's that you really cannot fail until you stop and decide you're no longer moving forward, right?

Because until that point, everything in life is a work in progress, the pursuit of that one decision that might change everything.

We never know when that is, when that pivot is,

or the turning point. But we do know that the Ls that we take, right, the little losses are where

we learn. That's actually where we step forward, that through our losses come our gains.

And so, you know, you can take a,

even a monumental defeat, but that doesn't mean you failed, right? That means you're now

picking up the pieces reassessing and replanning. The only way to fail, to truly fail, is to look at yourself in the mirror and say,

it's not worth it for me anymore, right?

Those micro losses, however you define them, they're a bigger price than I want to pay.

And I think that's an important understanding because we think sometimes

the outside world is the gatekeeper. It predicts whether we succeed. It's indicative of our progress.

And the reality is, no, it's willpower. It's persistence.

It's the human spirit marching forward.

And to me, there's no news better than that.

Because as long as you march forward, as long as you care about something, fate is in your hands.

You're writing the story.
