Part 2 of Unveiling the 'Why': Charting a Course to Empowerment and Personal Mastery
Ever find yourself pondering why certain habits stick and others, no matter how beneficial, just slip through the cracks? In our latest Few for Thought episode, Nicole Heller and I, Tracy Elizabeth, tackle the significance of discovering your 'why,' that inner compass driving you toward a healthier, more empowered existence. We're not just talking about fleeting whims; we're delving into the profound motivations that anchor us during life's tempestuous waves – those that see us through not only our health journey but also professional and personal triumphs.
Picture this: you're at the crossroads of decision-making, where every choice can propel you toward your dreams or anchor you to past patterns. That's where urgency and introspection play critical roles, as we discuss in our heart-to-heart chat. I'll take you through my intimate revelations about how becoming a stellar role model for my daughters reshaped my life priorities and injected a sense of urgency into my daily routines. We explore the art of reflective learning, akin to budgeting for a home, and how pivoting your strategies keeps you aligned with your aspirations, ensuring you're always building towards that dream, not away from it.
To round off our conversation, we invite you to join us on this empowering odyssey as we delve into the transformative power of understanding your 'why.' We're passionate about helping you break free from stagnation and create meaningful breakthroughs, and we're excited to offer personalized guidance to anyone ready to take that bold step forward. Your journey to personal growth is unique, and we're here to support and celebrate each victory with you. Let's embark on this adventure together and watch as your 'why' unfolds into a legacy of wellness and fulfillment.

Welcome to Few for Thought empowering women to live healthier lifestyles. I am Tracy Elizabeth. I'm Nicole Heller. We are so excited about today's episode. We loaded up on our coffee this morning.

If you're looking for a great discount, just check out Two Rivers Coffee FFT20, capital letters FFT20, for your 20 off. Enjoy these amazing flavors. 20% off is awesome. It's amazing. I love it.
Speaker 2:I love it.
Speaker 1:They're so nice too, All right, so let's start. What else are we talking about that we love so much today? Your why. What else are we talking about that we love so?
Speaker 2:much today your why, our why. So last week we gave you guys a little bit of homework to come to the call with five things to tap into your why, and I know that sometimes that that's a challenge. It's not always easy to kind of think about why we do what we do the hard things.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And you know digging deep on that isn't always easy. But I can't stress the importance of it because, with motivation being such a depletable resource like If you check out her Facebook post, you'll see how passionate she is. Yeah it's just like it doesn't last and I want to shout it from the rooftops, Like if you think you're going to be motivated every single day to do something, like it's just not gonna happen. Yeah, it's a depletable resource, it goes away.
Speaker 1:I think what was helpful for me when we were talking about that motivation that when in the beginning phases of our health journey where we were in that stage, where we didn't have a why, we weren't rock solid other than just want to lose weight, but thinking about when that motivation is slipping right down, like that word motivation, cross it off and write down why, like to start that mindset process of moving away towards that condition, thinking that you need to be motivated Like no, you don't need to be motivated, you need to be motivated to have a why.
Speaker 1:Like like I want people to just start there, even that baby step process of like I need to move away from thinking I need to be motivated, because I know there's probably many listeners out there that have said I'm just not motivated, and then spring is here. Okay, I'm motivated. Like no, no, no, no. So that will be the first strategy is just write down the word motivation, cross it out and put that word why? Because we're going to get started to teach you and to encourage you to get rock solid on your why.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I mean, and I don't want to say like you, I don't want to sit here and should you, you know, like, unless I want to be honest, like I didn't have it my whole life either you know, I'm not sitting here from a place of like you should do this, you should do that because I think it's going to work. I'm sitting here telling you that I lived my whole life without it and I know that I tried to create better for myself without it and it didn't work. That I tried to create better for myself without it and it didn't work. And even after losing 100 pounds, I didn't know how to stay there without it. And it wasn't until I was like, wait a minute, I have to dig a little deeper that I knew how to stop trying to hold on to the top of the mountain. So I want you guys to kind of like, let's create a vision for ourselves for a second. So I want you to think about words like willpower, like close your eyes for a second, envision yourself like hanging literally from a cliff. Like you're hanging from the cliff, you're just dangling there, and like you're there for five minutes, 10 minutes, and the words willpower there, the words you know motivation are there. Five minutes, 10 minutes. And the words willpower are there. The words you know motivation are there. 20 minutes are passing, your hands are getting sweaty, your fingers are just turning red and you're saying to yourself like I'll never be able to hold on. I'll never be able to hold on, I'll never be able to keep this weight off. I'll never be able to stay at this job. I'll never be able to continue on this route. I'll never be able to continue on this route. I'll never be able to keep surviving like this. I'll never be able to keep doing this. Those feelings, those emotions that you have right then and there, all of those things, it will never last. Those things will never last. You will never be able to hang there long enough. They'll never be able to stay forever.
Speaker 2:But once you create a why, it's almost as though that why becomes the little like pillow that picks you up from hanging off that cliff and picks you up and puts you on top of that mountain and says look, you're here and you can stay here forever. And now you're sitting on top of that mountain saying like yes, it's not always easy up here. Sometimes it's a little hot up here. Sometimes the sun is beaming a little bit too hard. Like sometimes it may not be the greatest, but you're here and it's not as hard and your fingers aren't bleeding.
Speaker 2:Like that's what you need. It's the little push, it's what you need to sustain. Like that's what the why really is. It's everything else is not sustainable and that's really what we want to open up for you in your heart. And that's what helped me. That's what helps me to sit here today at 145 pounds down, keeping it, keeping it off, being able to tap into what I really want in my family, what I really want as a wife, what I really want as a friend, what I really want as a wife, what I really want as a friend, what I really want in a career, what I really want as a woman to serve others, what I really want in my faith. Like what I push myself forward to, like a why for all areas of life. So like it's not because I'm just motivated to do it, it's because I have a driving force inside me to do it. So I think that that's the reason to untap it.
Speaker 2:Doesn't that sound beautiful. I hope that I explained it right.
Speaker 1:You explained it beautifully.
Speaker 2:I hope I got there.
Speaker 1:You know, because I think that people it's intimidated when you get intimidated so quickly when you think about somebody telling you to dive deeper. But I think, if you for myself, what was helpful was to think about those type of wise that I had in the past, like I want to fit into a wedding dress and I want to look beautiful. Well, guess what? You get married, you wear the dress, you look beautiful, you feel great, but then your wedding's over and then that's it Depletable resource, yeah done.
Speaker 2:Let's go through. Let's go through a list of depletable resources. Me them bathing suit, shorts. Wear the wedding dress, vacation vacation like go on vacation. Oh, all, right, you went on vacation. Check done.
Speaker 1:Depletable resource yeah, bell-bottom jeans. Remember that one, yeah done. Depletable resource ankle bracelet that was a goal.
Speaker 2:Rings fit done done.
Speaker 1:There's so many guys and I think that we just even focus on that just for a little bit. We don't want to perseverate over that topic, but just really think about the things in your life that you were motivated to do and you got there and then it was done. And then how many times after that did you say, well, now I'm not motivated, and then you just found yourself stuck in the same place. And that's what we want to prevent others to feel again. And you know, when Nicole and I were talking about this the other night to a beautiful community and thinking about, like, when we started our health journey, there wasn't any. We didn't listen to podcasts at that time, like it wasn't a part of our life. We didn't like have conversations with people that were already experiencing being on top of that mountain and feeling that beautiful part of success, but then also coping and handling the dark and cold days and feeling successful that they can thrive through those moments. We didn't have that. So like we were really working through our own health journey to bring us to a place and having conversations as friends. So now, like, if you're here listening to us, like that's a great start, because that's showing you that you want something and we talk about it all the time. Like surround yourself with people that are doing what you want to do. They're feeling the way that you want to feel. They're breathing life into a way to their family that you want to do.
Speaker 1:So you got to do the work and we're here telling you we've said it before like it's not how we keep 145 pounds off or 165, whatever it is, it's why we keep that off. Like that's the reason. Like we wake up every single day knowing why we keep that off. Like that's the reason. Like we wake up every single day knowing that we have a why. So I love Nicole's analogy with two hands. So she's going to go through that. But I think it's so beautiful because we always talk about weighing things in life, right, but when we don't know what to weigh, or it's, it's um I don't even know the right word, but I guess you're it's um miscued is that the right word? Or like it's not your thought process or where you are in your, your life. You haven't dove deep yet.
Speaker 1:So it's not always there, right am I explaining that, right, yeah so I think like that's why that list that we asked you to do last week and writing down those five things is really important, because you're going to continue to layer on to that. But I want you to really think about and watch, listen to Nicole as she really talks about it with the two hands, because I think it's such a great visual for people.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So I know that's kind of hard because you're listening to a podcast right now, but you know, I want you to envision your two hands, you know putting your two hands out there, and I want to, you know, put it. I'm going to use a simple, you know, analogy, because not everybody is, you know, on let's, let's say, on the same path of health, but I'm going to use something so simple as, like drinking water, right, you know, drinking water is, you know, a really important thing for most people that are on any kind of health journey and it's an important thing for any kind of health, right? So it's something that's very silly, but let's just use that as an example, right? So? And you know, part of your why for your health journey is, you know that, well, I'll use my why like a really important part of my health journey is that, like in the core of my heart, like I envision my two daughters and all of my, all four of my kids, but my two daughters, I have a vision in my heart of them as new moms. And you know, for shout out to any of the new moms out there right this moment that you know that moment of sheer exhaustion when you have a newborn in your arms and you know the newborn mom in your heart does not want to say can somebody please just take this baby so I could take a shower and just have two seconds to myself. You don't want to say it, but you just want your mama to come to you and just take the baby so you don't have to ask. You know that feeling, yeah, and like you're just so in that place, like you're just so in that place, I want to be there at that moment for my daughters, that they don't have to say a word to me and I just go over there and say go take a shower.
Speaker 2:I got this and you know what, five years ago I could get emotional about it. I was on the road to not being there, to be there for my daughters to say, hey, go take a shower. So, like, when I think about that, there is nothing driving me harder than to stay healthy and be here for them. And and that is my driving why and yes, of course, my sons too. And yes, future daughter in laws, if you're listening to this, it's for you too. So just saying, just saying, I promise I'm going to be a good mom. She'll be an amazing mother-in-law. I promise I'm going to be a good mother-in-law and I want to be there for you too, I promise.
Speaker 2:But like that is in my children when they get older. And yes, I want to be a present mom right now to my teenagers and I am trying to give my heart and soul to them now, but I just I'm trying. Lord Jesus, give me the strength, but I am trying so hard to envision that 5, 10, 15 years from now, when they need me even more as grown adults, when life is hitting them, when, when the world is hitting them like the world is hitting them, like the world is hitting us right now, imagine what the world is going to be hitting them. They need a mother that is in their 50s, 60s and 70s to be strong. I don't want to be crippled and sick and that is my why in my left hand. Now, take your left hand and that is there. You're holding that in your left hand and now you put something in your right hand, and now you put something in your right hand that's holding you back in your health. I just really don't feel like drinking water. Come on, shout out to all my Optivia peeps.
Speaker 1:Right now I don't really feel like measuring my chicken Come on, but I'm going to a party and they want the pizza.
Speaker 2:Right, I don't really feel like measuring my condiments. Come on.
Speaker 1:And we say this with a place of love and understanding, Empathy, Empathy. We've been there. But again, that other side of knowing what's in your left hand, doing the work, asking yourself those hard questions, watching her close her eyes and bring tears she's tearing, thinking about that moment going to a daughter and saying I got it, Go take a shower. Like that just didn't happen overnight.
Speaker 2:And think about the thing Now, think about that paper that a lot of our listeners have in their, in their paper, on their paper right now, a lot of people's. Why is that? I want to get healthy for my kids and, like that was the why for me originally, I want to get healthy for my kids.
Speaker 1:Now the deeper, why is what I just explained to you about my daughters. Yes, so actually this morning I had a. I had a client text me that that exact same thing. I want to be healthy and be here for my daughters, and we've been working on layering the why. So my response back to her was like, okay, well, asking her those questions, well, why do you want to be healthy for your daughters? What's going to change in your daughter's lives? What? How would they show up differently? So then I gave her an example for my life with my son, like in writing, like my why is so strong?
Speaker 1:And the things that I want for AJ is like I want him to see me handling crisis. I want him to show up in this world with confidence. I want him not only to see that, but I want him to seek those peers that are doing what I'm doing, because he knows that that's what's going to fulfill him in his life. I want him to be that person that people are seeking him, to want to do those things and to have that type of confidence and strength and leadership in his life. I want him to choose a lifelong partner that is a woman that is standing tall and standing strong and standing confident and standing happy and creating the happiness within herself so that she can be a woman and a wife, and he already has the capability of knowing what he needs to do as a man to bring that into that relationship.
Speaker 1:So when I started this health journey, sure, I, just at 300 pounds, wanted to be healthy and stay alive for my son, so I didn't leave him here without a mother. But I didn't know about any of that stuff because I was 300 pounds, I was, I was not strong and healthy and at 250 pound guys, I was like, yes, I lost 50 pounds, I'm good, I'm done. My why is like 215 pounds and I'm going to wear them, I don't know, like a tank top, maybe at 215 pounds, whatever. My why was at that time, but doing the work over time and listening to somebody like Nicole or reading the books that we were reading when she was reading but I did read the life book.
Speaker 2:I was going through the life book.
Speaker 1:I'm not gonna lie, that book came out a year later. I did get into that because I was a journal and reflection book. So get into your life book for our clients. But thinking about those questions and then saying, okay, well, I am healthy right now. Even at 215 pounds, I thought I was healthy. But what's different in my life right now, at 215 pounds, you know what I'm showing? Discipline. I'm showing discipline, I'm showing commitment which is leading to me feeling confident that I can ride a bike with my son, that I can go zip lining with my friend, that I can travel through the airport without sweating. Those whys at that time were really important. But now I keep layering on that and I'm thinking about well, what am I really establishing in my life? I'm establishing a new, new legacy. I'm breaking chains for my son. I'm going to be there for my grandkids, my great-grandkids, because remember I told you AJ's under a lot of pressure to give me a lot of grandbabies. Since he's my only kid, I want like 10-15 kids.
Speaker 2:I hope your future daughter-in-law heard that the way my future daughter-in-law heard that I'm gonna I'm gonna help them take a shower.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're good, but it's true, I want to be there for that too, like my void, and talk about necessary endings. When we talked about that. Part of what I struggle with are the things that I personally didn't have in my life as a family that I thought I had or I was working towards. I wanted that marriage, I wanted the multiple children, I wanted the house, I wanted the big family traditions. My life was flipped upside down. I didn't have that.
Speaker 1:So now, when I'm sitting here and learning to live in gratitude for what I have and what I'm creating for myself and my son, that vision is still happening with my son, like I want to be here to see him get married. I want to be there dancing with my son and doing some crazy dance with my son at his wedding. I'm not doing that at 300 pounds, not because I physically can't move, but I'm not doing that because I wouldn't have the confidence to stand in a room full of people at my son's wedding. At 300 pounds I personally wouldn't. So I'm staying healthy for that.
Speaker 1:Why? Because I want to enjoy that moment with my son. I want to enjoy that moment with my son. I want to be there, I want to be present. I want to be there for the grandbabies. I want to be there and do all of those things. That why, in this left hand is so strong that nothing in my right hand is going to stop me from doing what I see right now happening in my life, that I'm getting up every single day and making choices and doing things in my life and taking actions. That is creating this vision from happening in my left hand 100%, and it could be a million things that you know.
Speaker 2:it doesn't have to necessarily be about health. That's in your other hand, Like it could be a million things that could be holding you back. You know it doesn't necessarily have to be about that. Like maybe it's a financial concern and what's holding you back? You know, maybe you have these, these visions of of creating things and something so silly is holding you back in your life.
Speaker 1:well, part of what I what I had, um, briefly mentioned thinking about what's that little piece that was holding me back was. My life fell apart, like I could have stayed stuck in there. I had like nothing to do so much with the weight, but I couldn't. I couldn't move forward in life because I felt like, oh, what was mean? Everything bad is happening in my life and this is the way it should be and I'm going to stay stuck here Like no. I had to work through those situations to really look at the things that I can create in my life with good so I can pull myself out of that place. I didn't want to be that person.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think you know, when you really get rock solid on what's in that left hand and look at these five things that you have on that piece of paper and just take it to the next level, take it to the next level, take it to the next level, it doesn't matter what comes into that right hand. You can push past what's in that right hand and we could even take it one step further and then create a sense of urgency for that Sure, and then create a sense of urgency for that Sure. So do you believe that there can be a sense of urgency or do you think that taking your time is okay?
Speaker 1:Well, I think it can be both, but I think it really depends on what's at stake. So, like for me, are you surprised I answered that quick.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I like that, I like that See, I'm learning, she's such a great friend. I like that. I like that. See, I'm learning she's, I like that that was good.
Speaker 2:I swear this is not scripted but but no there's zero scripted today and I want I want to give a disclaimer. Like we walk in here, I most of the time we walk into this studio, and we're like what's on your heart and I'm like this is on my heart, and she's like what's, I'm like what's on yours, like this is on my heart, like OK, that's what we're talking about, like and our producer is just laughing, yeah.
Speaker 2:We want to come to you with like what we truly feel and what we walk with on the daily, and we want to be real and like this is our real life and our real on a daily, Like this is not a scripted jazz at all.
Speaker 1:And also, just, I know, for our listeners and some of our friends and family. Yes, nicole is my close friend. There are things that she knows about me. She may ask me a question, but sometimes we're not on the same thinking pattern, so, like I think that she asked me that question and she's kind of like I don't know if she's going to answer it in a way, if she's at that level yet Right, am I right? Maybe?
Speaker 2:if she's going to answer it in a way, if she's at that level yet right, am I right?
Speaker 1:maybe I, yeah, I gotta, I gotta, but I, I think, before I lose my train of thought to your question. So I think that at some point, like for me personally in my life, I knew there needed to be a sense of urgency for the things that were happening in my life. But I also was not strong enough or confident enough or even ready to let go of things in my life, to accept the reality of what would come if I made decisions in my life. So I needed some time to kind of like stay there. But I think it cost a lot, think it cost a lot and I wish I had somebody in my life, whether it was a person, whether it was a podcast, whether I don't know, whatever it was, I just wish I had somebody in my life to breathe life over me with influence and wisdom, confidence, so that I wouldn't have lost so much time. So I do think that if we take the time to sit and really ask ourselves is this urgent? What am I losing in my life? Or, more importantly, what am I missing in my life? So I think, like I think about, I put my life on pause for eight years.
Speaker 1:I lost eight years of my life of seeking another partner where I could possibly have children, and that hurt me for so long, knowing that I wasn't having any more children and, at the same time, living with that resentment of thinking that AJ wasn't enough. But I know he's beautiful. Yeah, I love him. I'm keeping him. We're keeping AJ, I'm keeping him. But the fact that I live with that still every day, that I was in a place that I chose to stay and it cost me something that I can't get back and to find a way to make peace with that and still move forward in life. I did that and I'm doing that. So I do think that at some point, some people can take their time, but I would. My recommendation would be to ask yourself can you really what's at stake? If you do, did I do good?
Speaker 2:It's an incredible answer.
Speaker 1:I swear it's not scripted. It's an incredible answer.
Speaker 2:I don't talk about that often.
Speaker 2:I haven't talked about that in a long time, but I think that you were finally ready to talk about that, and I think that that fell on the ears of somebody that really needed to hear it, because, you know, I do believe that there's some people that need to be in a season of their life for urgency and it has to be their time but I do believe that somebody might have heard that and will hear well, I may not know it's the right season, but there is something very big at stake, so I'm going to make it my season.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you know what. We talk to so many people, clients, people that are interested in just like, not just talking about weight loss but really just trying to gain life and positive. We do show up, positive like all day, every day, and even on the day, yeah, even when we don't got our shit together we do. But I think you know learning to ask yourself the questions, of really just asking one question are you really being honest with yourself? Because I hear things and I'm sitting there like I need Botox. I'm looking at all these wrinkles on my face.
Speaker 1:I'm like really Come on now. But I think it's really sometimes it's not that they don't know, I think it's that they don't ask the hard questions to themselves. And I didn't ask those hard questions to myself and I internalized it and and I just stayed in a place of feeling a certain way that was unnecessary at that time.
Speaker 2:I also think we were both in a time in our life where we weren't surrounding ourselves with people that were willing to tell us things that we needed to hear. Misery or misery, yeah. And you know things that we needed to hear, not just what we wanted to hear. You know, hang you know, five smokers you become the sixth. Hang out with five drinkers you become the sixth. So you know, stop taking swimming lessons from the people that are drowning.
Speaker 1:We were in the midst of all that yeah so I think that that's a big lesson to be had you know what, just to end with that, um, you had mentioned a couple of weeks ago about one of your kids coming to you and saying to you I think it was Maggie said to you about when am I going to have um meet a friend, like like you have with with Tracy Right, and I just think about that. I think about when you talk about this sense of community, like that's a perfect example of we're doing a good job, because our kids are watching right For your daughter to reflect on that and think about she's missing, watching right for your daughter to reflect on that and think about she's missing, like she's so young she's just turned 13, 13 but to value that what she's seeing, that we have is a beautiful thing, and that's what I just talked about with aj. Like I want him to see what I'm doing, see how I'm cultivating a life in my surrounding environment. So so this is an age he's turning 14 tomorrow.
Speaker 1:Happy birthday, baby. Yeah, he's turning 14. But this is the age that he's going to meet those people that can influence him one way or the other, and it's my role to help him navigate that. But it's more importantly my role to show him how I'm doing that. I love it. I like to end with that, but go ahead, girl, all I love it.
Speaker 2:I like to end with that, but I agree, all right, so we're going to talk. We're going to close this out with a little bit of a sense of urgency analogy, and I want you guys to really take this with you. When you're making your daily choices, so when you're creating your why, you have this analogy of buying a house. So you've created your why to buy this house, right? And when you buy this house, you've decided that you're going to have this. You have to have a down payment to buy this house, right? So you need this down payment to buy this house. And you decide that you're going to go to Target for a little while. When you're usually like a Bloomingdale shopper, right, so like I love Bloomingdale, so like now, but you got to save your money for the house, so you're going to go to Target for a little while. Nope're going to target, you're going to target, you're going to target. But you know, every once in a while you like go to bloomingdale's and like, okay, like what does that do it? Like just slows down the down payment a little bit, right, so okay, so you're back, you're going to target, you go to target, go to target, you're going to target. You know you're not right, you're going. You know you're okay with it. Like you're going to target, you decided you want the house, you're saving the money, you're saving the money, you're saving the money, you're going to target. But then all your friends are going to bloomingdales and you really want to go to bloomingdales, so you're going to go to. You're going to go to Bloomingdale's again and you go. So all you're doing is you're delaying that. You're delaying the house. You're delaying the house per. You know the purchase, but like the why hasn't changed. Like you're still buying the house. It doesn't matter. The only thing that's changed is how long it's taking you to buy the house, and that's okay.
Speaker 2:The most important part of this process is understanding that you need to know why you went to Bloomingdale's. What did you learn from going to Bloomingdale's? So that you don't keep going to Bloomingdale's for the same reason? Because that's going to stop you from buying the house? Yeah, so if you went to Bloomingdale's because you were sad, why were you sad that day? And how do you not go to Bloomingdale's again because you were sad for the same reason? It doesn't mean that you're not going to go to Bloomingdale's again because you were sad for another reason, but don't go back because you were sad for the same reason. That's going to kill your why. But it's learning. It's about being open to learning and understanding. Yeah, you're excited, you're going to Target, you're going to buy the house. It's awesome. You're saving your money. It's amazing. And, yes, we're all going to fall down. We're all going to go to Bloomingdale's sometimes, and that's okay. But you've got to learn from those trips to Bloomingdale's.
Speaker 1:We're gonna keep tripping over that rock, right? Yeah, of course the rock and move it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, stop tripping over the same rock, pick it up and throw it like enough, it's going to be there. You're gonna go to Bloomingdale's, it's okay, but if we don't learn why and pivot, we're gonna keep going for the same reason. So, like it's need, we need to be open, we need to be curious, we need to be digging deeper or else we're going to be hanging on the edge of that cliff, and I can almost guarantee you that we cannot all hang there forever. No, we just can't.
Speaker 1:We wouldn't be sitting here today if we were still hanging on that cliff.
Speaker 2:I wouldn't be hanging, I'd be done already. I got no shoulder muscles.
Speaker 1:I'm done with that life we left that bum bed before it crashed. I'm done with that. I'm done. I got no shoulder muscles.
Speaker 2:I'm done with that life we left that bump before it crashed. I'm done with that. I'm done with that life alright, guys.
