We have this thing where we feel like stress is bad. It's bad for you. Bad. You know, you need to relax,

man. You need to chill. Stress will kill you. No, being bored will kill you. I'm a big believer in

listening to your own pain and listening to your own frustration. I compare it to a voice.

When you're very young, that little voice in you is going, Robert, you should be a writer.

It's telling you something.

As you get older, you don't hear it anymore.

Because you're hearing all the other voices,

if your parents, the teachers, the culture around you,

your peers, your friends, telling you, this is what's cool,

this is what's not cool.

And that little voice comes completely drowned

out. And so you don't know who you are anymore. And you're afraid, particularly young people today.

I mean, maybe it's always been that way, are so afraid of being different. What is false purpose?

And how do we know the difference? Your purpose in life is something that you're born with.

It's like your destiny.

This is what you were meant to accomplish.

This was what you were meant to be, what you were meant to do.

And we were going through, we were talking about that in terms of your childhood, etc.

But we humans are not born with that purpose engraved in our heads. We don't wake up

when we're seven, go, that's my purpose. If it were that easy, it would be that simple, right?

But because we don't have any direction, you know, animals don't wake up in the morning if they're

not nocturnal and go, what am I going to do today? I can go here, I can hunt for this, I don't wake up in the morning if they're not nocturnal and go, what am I going to do today?
