You've made mistakes. You've messed up. You've done things. You've said things. You've acted in a certain way.

You've screwed people over. You've said mean things. You've made mistakes. I mean, name it. We've done it all.

Every single one of us. I have so many things in my life. So many things that I can't even tell you

make a dumb financial decision. You're going to get into business with the wrong person.

You're going to have a collapse of your marriage or a relationship.

You're going to deal with medical situations.

And you're going to deal with things that maybe I didn't describe, but that just inevitably
