It would be failing you if it let you sleep all night knowing that one wrong turn

In the economy, they take your house, they take your job, they take your food.

Your body would be failing if it let you sleep all night.

And so when I say choose reality, there's something powerful and harrowing for most people to pull out a yellow pad, not an Excel sheet, pull out a yellow pad and write down, who do I owe money to?

What is the state of my romantic relationships?

Write down two, three, five, seven friends that I could call at 2 a.m.

that would show up at my house and say, I got you.

If you don't have that, then that's where you're gonna start.

You gotta choose reality with how safe is your body.

Yeah, it goes back to we've just created the loneliest generation ever.

And I just said, I mean, your body would be failing you.

Think back to 10,000 years ago.

If you woke up on the plains of Kansas and your tribe had left you and you're just all by yourself, you're going to die.

You're going to eat by something.

You'll die of exposure, die of starvation or whatever.

And so we've got built in biological mechanisms designed to keep us together.

And we have outsourced all of those to these digital boxes.

We have two mile long text threads from old high school friends that are mostly emojis and funny memes.

And we have a whole bunch of networks and we have Zoom conferences with our mastermind groups, right?

Whether we want to believe it or not.
