Correct. Well, that's a whole other conversation. I really think that If you're choosing who you want to be with simply based on how much they earn, how tall they are, or what job they have, you are marrying their salary, their bank account, and their job, not them. What does that mean? It means, yes, you will never run out of money, but you may never have enough love.

It may mean that you can boast about your partner's title, but they may not be with you at every place you want them to be at. So you have to realize what you're marrying, what you're committing to. That's what you're getting in this exchange.

And I think what's really interesting to me is I meet a lot of friends and women who will say to me, I really want a man who's successful, but I want him to be my number one cheerleader. And I'm like, well, have you realized that the person who's out there making money and being successful, they can't be a cheerleader at the same time, because they got to be on the field.

The person on the field can't be your cheerleader. I'm not saying that you should choose one over the other, but I'm saying you've got to be clear about the choices you're making. I love Radhi. I can't be there with her as a cheerleader every step of the way, wherever she is. Neither can Radhi be with me.

I know a lot of men who will say the same thing like, oh yeah, I want my wife to be independent, but then I want her front row seat when I'm winning. And I'm like, well, wait a minute, which one do you want? And so I think we're really, it's almost like we want everything. And in that we get nothing.

Yeah, there's two words that I like using more than sacrifice and compromise because I think they come with so much baggage. And the two words are adjusting and abandoning. And so there's a difference between adjusting yourself and abandoning yourself. Adjusting yourself means I'm making room for love. Abandoning means I'm disappearing to make space for it.

And so there's a difference between adjusting yourself and abandoning yourself. Adjusting yourself means I'm making room for love. Abandoning means I'm disappearing to make space for it.
Adjusting is saying I'm happy to be flexible. Abandoning is saying I'm gonna bend so much that I'll probably break. Adjusting is growing. I'm actually becoming better through this choice. Abandoning is shrinking. I'm losing myself through this choice. And adjusting is I'm gonna help you move forward. Abandoning is I'm gonna leave myself behind.

And so what I find a lot of us do is when we don't know who we are, we abandon ourselves. And the difference is adjusting is something two people do, abandoning is something one person does. Adjusting requires two people to move, to mold, to pivot. Abandoning just requires one person to give up everything.

And so what I find, the reason why a lot of people end up in this place is because they were never told to have their own dream. They were never told they were allowed to have their own mission. They were never told that they had a purpose. And chances are they met someone, their partner, who had a very clear purpose, and they assumed that my purpose must be to help them.

And it kind of felt good in the beginning because it gave life meaning. Right in the beginning, it was all good. It was like, I'm gonna do this for them and they're going out to crush it and they'll do really well and I'll live through them. And then maybe if I have children, I'll live through them.
